Hey everyone, this chapter is unedited, and will more than likely have many spelling errors and grammar mistakes. If you still can, please enjoy this chapter, and if you can't, well, I don't know.

I don't own any of the anime/manga, games or cartoons that'll appear this chapter, but Leona, she's all mine.

Flames circle around Takato, scorching the ground. Pirates scatter, making clear of the deadly red and orange flames. Mai slowly descends into the dancing flames, the light from the flames lighting her face ominously. A grin spreads across her beautiful face, it causing a shiver to run down Takatp's spine. The grin wasn't one that made Takato feel happy, no, it did the exact opposite. Fear and the unmistakable cold feeling of death grips his heart, he recognizing the grin from anywhere. It was the grin of his mother, the grin his sister had inherited from that detestable woman, the grin of a being who was ready to kill a powerful warrior. This made Takato very pleased and very, very frighted.

"Mai,"

Takato's voice was full of fear, it was like bells in Mai's ears.

"Taka-chan,"

The nickname that once full of so much love, was full of so much death and hate.

"Mai,"

Mikoto lands on the roof of a bar, she glaring at Mai, her cat staff raised.

"Mikoto, you're here as well,"

Mai stares at Mikoto hollowly.

"Damn that hurt,"

Hearing the voice, Mai turns her eyes on Naruto, he slowly rising rubbing his burnt cheek.

"You,"

Mai stares down at Nami, her eyes twinkling in amusement and delight, and if possible, her cold smile widens.

"Nami-chan,"

Naruto groans painfully, the situation was becoming worse, and his body was still aching from the attack Shana gave him earlier.

"This is becoming troubling,"

Naruto glares up at Mai, then at Shana, Zoro, Mikoto, Nami, Sanji, and then at the glaring Takato. Cursing under his breath, Naruto knew he should have listened to Usagi and not split up their forces.

'Score two for Usagi, Naruto...zip,'

Shana eyes the blonde and then at the uninjured Mikoto, Nami, and Sanji. Biting back a snarl, flames bursts from her blade forcing Zoro back. Raising her sword in the air, the powers of darkness surrounds her, forming a whirling mass of energy.

"We don't have the time to play these little games with you all. We're here for only one thing, the Rings of the Guardians," The energy gathers in Shana's sword, and she stabs it in the ground, releasing a pulse of power through the area. Zoro's hair stands on end, feeling the power dark in the air. The ground turns an ugly shade of gray, the ugly color traveling to the buildings, and in the sky, turning everything but the people an ugly shade of gray. Shana grins darkly, the shadows under her eyes becoming incredibly dark.

"Heartless rise; Boltmon, Shawjamon and MetalEtemon, come forth to this miserable world,"

Rising from the ground as if it was water were hundreds of heartless, they filling the area, covering the ground in a sea of darkness. The three digimon appears from the ground also, adding to the already dangerous situation.

"Damn," Naruto suddenly appears behind Takato, his back to him. "I really should have listened to Usagi," Takato nods grimly. "No kidding," Takato's swords vanish in a burst of flames. "Guilmon," The digimon rains attacks on the heartless, it making its way to his tamer and friend. "Renamon...realize," Data swarms out of Naruto's digivice forming his digital partner.

Renamon glances around, her right eyebrow rising in amusement.

"Looks like a troubling situation Idiot-Partner," Naruto ignores the insult and a orange digisoul flares around his body. "I know, and there are three bad digimon needing their asses kick," A feral grin rises to Naruto's face. "Are you ready to cut loose Renamon, because I am?" The digimon cracks her claws in response a grin matching his s[reading across her face. "I take that as a yes," Naruto raises his hand in the air, and the digisoul flares like a pillar. Crying out, Naruto slams his hand on the digivice, the screen glowing brightly, and he thrusts it at Renamon, a bright orange light shooting from it.

"Digisoul...Full...Charge!"

Takato draws a card from his holster and focuses, it changing into a glowing blue card. Holding up his digivice over his head, he swipes the card through the slot with a cry.

"Card Slash: Matrix Digivolution Activate!"

Data swarms around the two digimon, they releasing loud cries.

"Renamon...digivolve to...Doumon!"

"Guilmon...digivolve to...WarGrowlmon!"

Naruto smirks he clipping his digivice to his waist, and draws two kunai.

"You know what to do,"

Doumon charges off for the three digimon.

"I know,"

Takato clips his digivice to his waist, and summons his lance.

"Go get'em boy,"

WarGrowlmon roars and charges off as well, its large form stunning everyone.

"Wow, that's one big monster," Zoro whistles as he locks swords with Shana. "A very big monster," Shana silently agrees and wonders where Takato could have possibly gotten it, and where she could get one.

Naruto throws his chakra coated kunai at the heartless destroying them. A heartless leaps at him, and he yelps, it nearly catching him. Fliping his wrist, he launches a kunai at the thing, destroying it.

"Fuck, I hope Usagi and the others are having a better time than us,"

- The Avatar Universe -

"Oh man, why are things so difficult?"

Usagi spots Raven floating in the air, energy flowing out her body in waves. The girl been at it for hours. What she was doing, Usagi didn't know. It didn't help she blanked out during the explanation, and it really didn't help she was hungry at the time. Bitting her thump, Usagi feels uneasy. Leaving Naruto, Takato, and Mikoto in the Life Universe wasn't what she wanted. Splitting up wasn't good, it meant the potential danger of their enemy attacking them, wiping them out at their weakest.

The wind blows and Usagi pulls back her hair, trying to keep it out of her eyes.

'Maybe I should cut my hair?'

Something within her mentally kicks her, giving her a headache, as if saying she was stupid for thinking of such a crazy thing.

"Usagi-chan,"

Nao and Yoruichi appear, the former smirking widely.

"We found her, she's to the East, five days from our current location,"

Yoruichi picks up after her.

"If we run, we'll be there within two days,"

Usagi blinks owishly.

"But you two only been gone for like, six hours,"

Yoruichi smirks, her eyes shining in delight.

"We're a lot faster than you kids. Maybe one day you'll be able to move like us, but at your current levels you wouldn't make it,"

"Plus," Starts Nao. "You're not trained to the point where you can go long periods of time without eating and sleeping without losing any strength. Raven can handle it for a few days at most, but you two not even a day, especially you Usagi, you're a lost cause,"

Usagi looks insulted.

"What do you mean by that?" Nao smirks. "You can't go two hours without whining about food, you need a lot of training," Usagi groans knowing it was true.

'Not my fault I'm always hungry, I have a monsterous metabolism,'

Yoruichi turns from Usagi to stare at Tatsuki, the girl was staring in the west, her eyes narrowed.

"Tatsuki,"

The girl ignores her, she slowly walking away.

"Tatsuki,"

Yoruichi's shout was a little louder, drawing Nao's, Usagi's, and Raven's attention. For her part, Tatsuki continues walking, her eyes slowly changing green. Yoruichi was suddenly in Tatsuki's path, glaring at the girl.

"Where are you going?"

Tatsuki's right arm stiffens, and Yoruichi eyebrows raise, thinking the girl wasn't stupid enough to throw a punch at her. Thankfully for Tatsuki's safety, she didn't and sighs, her eyes returning to normal.

"A cold presence is in the air; I recognize this presence," Tatsuki stares at Yoruichi. "I have to go," Tatsuki uses shunpo and vanishes. Yoruichi curses the girl and shouts at Nao.

"You three go on ahead, we'll catch up with you later,"

Not waiting for a response, Yoruichi chases after Tatsuki. The girl was already a few miles away, impressing Yoruichi.

'This will be a fun game of tag,'

An angry twitch goes through Usagi's eye.

"Splitting up is bad, why can't anyone get that?" Usagi pulls her hair in frustration. "It's not difficult, stick together: we live, split apart: make it easy for the enemy to take us out, simple math,"

Nao and Raven said nothing, knowing Usagi was both right and wrong.

"Whatever," Growls the moon princess. "Let's go," Usagi takes off in the night, Raven takes in the air, and Nao runs after Usagi once shifting in her cat form.

Watching them from a nearby cliff was a girl, her pale lavender eyes following their every movement. Veins suddenly buldge around her eyes, the spreading in her eyes, she now being able to see Tatsuki and Yoruichi.

"Well?"

Glancing at her companion, she saw his red eyes glaring menacingly at her, and she smirks coldly.

"The other two are heading in Leona's direction, the girl isn't heading for Princess Azula as we thought," The girl's smirk becomes colder. "It shouldn't compromise your part of the mission right, Sasuke-kun?" Sasuke Uchiha glares off in the direction of the Boiling Rock and smirks, it just as cold, if not colder than his companions.

"Not at all Hinata, just make sure you complete your mission,"

Hinata's face scrunches up in a sneer, she knowing the boy was refering to her failed missions during her time in Konoha.

"I won't fail," Hinata turns on her heel and leaps off after the Usagi Party. 'I can't afford to, I must meet Naruto again,' Purple mist expells from Hinata's feet as she rises high in the air. The girl rises higher and higher, she soon vanishing above the clouds, disappearing from Sasuke's sight.

Wordlessly Sasuke takes off to the west, heading for the Boiling Rock to retrieve a certain Psycho Fire Princess.

"I found you, I finally found you," Pants Tatsuki heavily.

Having ran for three hours straight, Tatsuki was exhausted, but she wasn't worried, she was always quick to regain energy.

"So you have," The woman standing below the cliff Tatsuki was on, peers up at her curiously, her eyes slowly opening, revealing cold purple orbs. The woman's beautiful long silver hair which could be mistaken for white, blows in the wind, and she runs a hand through it. "Is there a reason you have come before me Princess?" Attached to the woman's waist were two swords, both familiar in Tatsuki's eyes. "I see you have become a bit stronger, but I assure you, it isn't enough to face me," One sword was her master's, the other was the one used to kill her. "Leave Princess, this isn't your time to die," The woman smiles gently, angering Tatsuki.

"Don't," Whispers Tatsuki darkly, watching the woman turn her back on her, she slowly walking away. "Don't you dare," Growls Tatsuki lowly, the air around her bending from the sudden rise in tempature. "TURN YOUR BACK ON ME LEONA!" Thunder roars in the dark sky, and lightning flashes, lighting it. Tatsuki was suddenly in the air diving down at the woman, a flaming sword in hand. The woman stops and shakes her head. Gripping the hilt of the sword that killed Tatsuki's master, she raises it high in a blocking position. "You are one foolish Princess," Swords connecting, the ground beneath the woman's feet cracks, a few even overturning. One of the woman's eyes were slightly open, it staring coldly into Tatsuki's raging green.

Watching from a distance on a narby cliff was Yoruichi. The woman wasn't going to interfere with this fight. She'll admit first hand Tatsuki was a foolish one, and she'll also admit she was foolish as well for allowing the girl to fight knowing what the outcome will be. But she also knew it was necessary. Tatsuki had to learn first hand how big the world was, how her actions could lead to the death and destruction to not only her friends, but to herself as well.

"That girl is still a child, she really does have much to learn,"

For those of you who are interested about Tatsuki's story, the story of her before she joined the Guardians, check out Raging Flames of a Thunderous Soul. A few characters will have a side story explaining the powers and experiences they'll have up to the point of their joining the Guardians, and Tatsuki is the first. I plan on doing one for Takato at some point as well, so look forward to it.

Naruto, Usagi, Raven, and Nami won't need it, because well, they join after some point form their canon story line, and not much has happened to them. Hope to see you all next chapter, and just to let ya all know, the characters of the story will be introducing the story and ending it from now on.

On another note, pairings, um yeah, I'll give some more thought about those later. I also have a character chart and anime/manga/cartoon chart in my profile detailing what shows, series, or character came in when, so check it out if your lost.
