Chapter Two-The New World Part 2
The area was a large open field with roses and flowers. The sky was dark showing the stars and moon as it glowed with its pure moon light. Underneath the bright moonlight was a young girl. The young girl had blonde hair styled two long pigtails with black ribbons on each tail. Her eyes were red while she wore a black colored gothic style dress.
She sat there alone at a small table drinking a cup of tea. The young girl name's was Rachel Alucard, a Vampire of royalty.
Rachel stared at her teacup, as she felt an ill presence.
"Is there a problem milady?" An older male's voice spoke.
Behind Rachel was her loyal butler Valkenhayn R. Hellsing. Valkenhayn wore a green colored butler uniform. He had long silver hair, his skin tone was light brown, and his eyes were blue.
"No, I only felt a new pawn or rather challenger enter this world of ours…" She spoke in a calm tone of voice.
"Someone outside you say? Surely this isn't something to worry about milady." He said.
Rachel remained silence for a moment.
"Milady?" Her butler worried.
"It's nothing…as you said, this shouldn't be something to bother me, and beside I have other things to worry about." Rachel watched as within her tea cup, she saw the image of one of her allies or rather one of her pawns, her favorite pawn.
Somewhere in Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi
"Ugh, whoever made these stairs I'm going to find them and kick their ass." A man complained while walking up the endless staircase.
The man had spiky silver colored hair, and two different eye colors, his right eye was red while his left eye was green, giving him the heterochromia eye set. He wore a red jacket with black gloves, and was wearing long baggy black pants with black boots. On his back was a large white and red colored sword.
His name was Ranga the Bloodedge aka The Grimm Reaper. Well known for the destruction he leaves behind during his journey to destroy the many base and HQs of the N.O.L. For that alone they placed a very large bounty on his head. Nine Hundred Million was the prize for anyone who captured him, dead or alive.
"That damn Rabbit, who the hell she think she is teleporting me off like that." He groaned.
Ranga reached the monorail level after walking up at least seven hundred stairs. However that long walk alone didn't tire him out, it only pissed him off since he missed his ride to the upper floors.
Ranga saw a large group of people gathered around near the balcony of one spot. Being curious on what they were looking at, Bloodedge walked over to see what the fuss was all about.
"They're still falling too," one of them spoke.
"Is there anything we can do?"
"They're gonna die if they hit the ground."
"Who's gonna die?" Ranga spoke up to get their attention, but the people paid no mind to him, keeping their attention on whatever it was they were looking at in the sky.
Annoyed, Ranga looked up at the sky as well, trying to figure out what the hell everyone was talking about. Ranga saw two people falling from two stories upward and now they were falling down pass each level of the city.
Ranga bared his teeth once he saw this, quickly looking around for any platform or device to help him reach them before they passed through the level Ranga was on. Looking down below to a large railing platform, he smiled upon seeing it.
He quickly jumped down, running along the railing platform while looking upward at the falling couple. Ranga quickly looked forward to see the edge of the platform. He stopped then looked upward as he saw a young blonde haired man was holding on to a red haired woman.
The two saw Ranga as they neared him. Ranga reached out his right hand to grab the young man's hand. He successfully grabbed the young man's hand but due to the speed and gravity of their fall, the force nearly pulled Ranga off the platform. Ranga jammed his large sword into the platform while holding onto his weapon for dear life and holding on to the young man's hand.
"Damn, remind not to try that shit again, gah."
Ranga looked down to see the young man hold onto Ranga's left hand while holding on to red haired woman's right hand.
"Damn that was a close one." The blonde young man sighed with relief.
"What the hell were you two doing? If you two plan to pull off some romantic shit, do it somewhere else." Ranga told the relieved couple. He tried to pull himself upward but the weight of two people was a bit too much for him.
"Wait…you're Ranga the Bloodedge." The red haired woman noticed.
'Shit a N.O.L member.' He guessed.
"Look Lady I don't know if you got business with me or not. But it will have to wait…or I'll drop you both…" Ranga felt his grip start to loosen.
The woman's left glove started to peel off as her grip loosened as well.
"I'm slipping!"She yelled.
"Hold on." The blonde young man told her.
But however it was too late as her glove slipped off. Both gasped when she slipped through their grasp, as the blonde young man slipped through Ranga's grip to save the woman. Ragna saw the young man perform a hand sign as in poof of smoke a large number of copies appeared from nowhere. Each copy grabbed one another and finally one grabbed on to Ranga, while the original grabbed the red haired woman just in time as his copies grabbed him.
"That was close." They were just one level above the lower floors where a vast forest awaited them just below. The young blonde pulled the young woman back into their previous position.
Meanwhile up above, Ranga was starting to lose his grip on the platform as the weight of at least twenty copies was pulling on him, plus the original and the woman as well.
Ranga wasn't sure if he could hang on anymore, but then there was a loud sound. It was a Monorail that was driving downward to where they were. The platform they were hanging on was part of the railing path.
'Shit, shit, shit,' Both Ranga and blonde young man thought together.
The closer the Monorail got the strong the rumbling quakes became. The shockwave of the rumble surged through Ranga and through the copies down to the original and the woman. In an instant the copies vanished upon being shookup. Ranga pulled himself upward fast and got out of the way, while the young man woman fell down into the forest area of the city.
Ranga looked down below as there was a frown on his face. He knew they were alive but he was mostly worried due to the woman being a N.O.L member. Believing his enemies had sent assassins after him gave him all the more reason to keep his guard up at all times.
"If they've fallen down, I'm sure Tao or Jubei will find them."
With that said and done, Ranga turned away returning back to where he was before playing hero for that moment.
Ranga walked up another set of stairs; however this set of stairs wasn't as hellishly long. Ranga found himself on the resident zone of the city, where stores, apartments, and homes were located.
While walking he felt something grab onto his right leg.
"Huh, what the-?" He looked down to see what was grabbing him. Down at his feet level was a person, who wore a long cloak that hid themselves from head to toe.
"Hey let go." He told the person.
"Please…food…give me…food." The person begged.
"Sorry but I don't have food." He told the person. Ranga shook his right leg to shake the person off. However the person grabbed him tightly.
"Food…please…give me food…please…oh please." Again the person begged.
"Look I told you, I don't have food! Now let go!" The person wrapped their arms around Ranga's legs as their climb reached his hips.
"Please…give me food please…you wouldn't leave a child to die of hunger?" The person asked him.
Ranga try to shake the person off him but the struggle proved to be useless.
"If I die…I will bear you ill will. I curse you. I shall drag you down to the pits of hell."
"Everyone! Look at this man, how cruel of him to let this poor child go hungry. This adult is a despicable villain who turns his back on hungry children! He's evil he's cruel he's the devil…" Ranga quickly silenced the person with a simple cover of the mouth.
"Look if I buy you food will you shut the hell up?" Ranga whispered to the person.
"Food? You'll BUY. ME. FOOD?" The person looked upward at Ranga, as the cloak hood fell off the person's head showing what was underneath the hood. The person was a young girl with long big blonde pig-tails and dark green eyes with light green heart-shapes in her iris.
"Fine," Ranga groaned with a sweat drop as he submitted to the child's request.
Elsewhere:
Down below within a forest area were Naruto Uzumaki and Tsubaki Yayoi. The two fell nearly three hundred feet from above. But their fall was slightly broken due to the help of Ranga the Bloodedge. But still the fall was a long trip for the two.
Tsubaki groaned in pain as she looked up to see a large open hole between the vast surrounding of large trees and branches. They had landed on a soft spot of grass and flowers.
While looking, Tsubaki thought back to how all of this had started for her on this lovely day.
Flashback:
It was eight o'clock in the morning; Tsubaki Yayoi was summoned in for something very important. Tsubaki entered the office of Hazama, the captain of Novus Orbis Librarium's or N.O.L Intelligence Department.
Hazama wore a black suit with white neck tie. He had green hair, but wore a black hat. His eyes were green colored, but he usually had a habit of having his eyes slightly shut when speaking to people.
"You wish to see me Captain Hazama?" Tsubaki asked, dressed in her military uniform.
"Ah yes, Tsubaki Yayoi wasn't it?" She nodded.
"Ah yes, I have a very special mission for you. You are asked to seek out Major Jin Kisaragi and Second Lieutenant Noel Vermillion, and to carry out their assassination. Our information says they are both currently on the run in Kagutsuchi." Hazama explained her mission clearly.
"A-assassination?" Tsubaki looked shocked "But…what did they do…to be…"
"Ah yes, this is an Imperial Command. Surely, you do not doubt the will of the Imperator?" Hazama asked the red haired woman.
"N-no Sir." She'd stuttered.
"However, it would not seem wise to allow your doubts to manifest in your task. The rebel, Ranga the Bloodedge, has been sighted in the area." Hazama opened his eyes showing his green eyes.
"The Grimm Reaper?" She spoke of Ranga's nickname.
"It appears that both Major Kisaragi and Second Lieutenant Vermillion have had contact with him and have defected. The branch office has suffered catastrophic losses as well. It seems the two are very fixed on him and without a doubt defected on their own in order to complete their search for him." He told Tsubaki as he watched her expression of being the one to do them in.
"That…can't be." Tsubaki frown.
"Ah, that is all Ms. Yayoi, you are free to go." Hazama smiled.
Tsubaki left the room, as Hazama chuckled once she left his office.
Tsubaki later, came to a large brown colored door, where she withdraw a small knife. She cut her index finger and placed her index finger against the door as it reacted to her blood. Once the door was open the redhead walked inside.
'Jin…Noel…it can't be. There's no way they would defect. I have to see for myself. Maybe it's just a mistake…maybe if I find them I could turn this around?' Her thoughts were.
"I never thought I would have to do this…" Tsubaki walked toward a sealed stand "Sealed Armagus Izayoi…"
End of flashback:
Tsubaki blinked twice before realizing where she was, when suddenly a shadow was cast over her. Her eyes looked upward to see who or what it was. The shadow, or shadows rather, belonged to four little children. But these four children were Kaka, a race of cat-people that lived within the Kaka village which was part of this forest area.
The four Kaka children wore bright yellow-tan colored coats with hoods over their heads hiding their faces but only their bright eyes were shown.
"They're alive, they're alive, they're alive meow!" One of the four Kaka children said.
"One of them smells like Ramen meow!"
"Hey, look he got whiskers! Maybe he's a Kaka meow?"
"But he doesn't look like us meow."
Naruto groaned before he opened his eyes. Once open he saw the Kaka children looking down at him and Tsubaki.
"Gah!" He screamed upon seeing them.
"W-who the hell are you?!" He yelled.
"Meow Ah, he's angry run away!" One of the Kaka children said.
The four Kaka children quickly made a run for it; they ran toward the path that led to the Kaka village.
Naruto looked to his right to see Tsubaki right beside him. The two looked at one another before they reacted.
"You're that criminal!" She poked him in the chest.
"Me? I'm no criminal…" He paused "Lady…beside you attacked me before I even got a chance to explain." He pointed out.
The redhead frowned for a moment, as she did remember attacking him without even asking if he was just a delivery boy or not.
"I'm sorry…I should have asked." She apologized with a quick head bow.
He smiled for a second, she had good manners indeed. She wasn't just someone of high ranking but of good etiquette as well.
"I'm Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." He introduced himself.
"I'm Tsubaki Yayoi, but why were you taking that box?" She asked.
"I was doing a favor…for a 'friend'." He slightly lied.
Tsubaki didn't quite believe him but she also felt he was telling her most of the truth. She decided to let it go for now since she was on an important mission from her higher ups.
"Wonder how far did we fall?" Naruto said while looking upward at the hole they made from their impact.
"We were lucky the tree broke our fall…" She said.
The two heard the sound of cries of help not too far from their location. They ran off following the cries of help.
The two arrived in time, as they saw the four Kaka children being cornered by a monster. The monster was a shapeless being that was black colored but had a face. The face was a small white mask.
"Get away!"
"Don't eat us!"
"Help someone help! He's gonna eat us!"
"Help! Help! Help!"
"Hey get away from them!" Naruto yelled.
The black masked shapeless monster turned to see Naruto and Tsubaki. It stared at them for a moment, as it soulless gaze brought chills down their spines. They weren't sure what the hell the thing was anyway.
"Az…ue….mu…st…fi…nd…az..ue…" It spoke in a clear tone voice.
The shapeless monster looked at them before it melt into the ground, vanishing before their very eyes.
"Is it gone?" Tsubaki asked.
"Don't…know."
Suddenly Naruto felt a dark aura coming from behind. Naruto quickly looked back and saw the shapeless monster rise from the ground. Out from the shapeless monster's body a large long bone claw came out to grab the two.
Naruto and Tsubaki dodged the bone claw before it retracted back inside the monster. The shapeless monster let out a dark creepy giggle when it missed.
"Ge..t…out…of…m…y…wa…y…or…be…m..y…food. Gee-hee..tee..he..hee." The monster said.
"There's no way I'm letting you eat those children!" The Uzumaki said.
"Naruto, are you crazy? You don't know what this thing is!" Tsubaki whispered to him.
"Tsubaki, could ya get the kids out of here while I keep him busy?" He asked the redhead.
She gave him an 'are you crazy' look but he smiled at her anyway. She gave a nod and went over to the small Kaka children. Naruto took out a kunai blade and smiled as he was ready to battle the shapeless monster.
The monster shot black liquid at the ninja as the young ninja dodged the creature's attack. Naruto threw five shuriken at the shapeless creature but none went through it but rather were consumed.
"Not good." He said.
However before Naruto even had a chance to battle the shapeless creature, it gasped when it felt something powerful nearby. Within seconds it vanished again but this time for good.
"That's awful brave or stupid of you, taking him on your own." A man's voice spoke.
Naruto looked to his right to see someone walking out from the bushes. The man wasn't a man at all but rather a cat…a cat who can talk. He is a two tailed black and white cat who stood and walked upright like a human being. He wore a jacket similar to the other Kaka clan jacket, with an eastern motif and a cut in the back where his two tails poked out. He wore an eye-patch over his right eye. On his back was a long sword that was carried with a belt strap.
"W-who are you…cat-man?" Naruto looked at the cat-person with curious and caution stare.
The cat chuckled with a friendly smile.
"Relax kid I mean no harm to you or your lady-friend. Name's Jubei." He introduced himself.
"Wait…you're Jubei…as in THE Jubei…one of the six heroes?!" Tsubaki gasps.
"The one and only, but just call me Jubei. No need to go all legendary on me." Jubei smiled.
"One of the who?" Naruto looked confuse.
"You're kidding right?" Tsubaki looked at the Uzumaki. "Do you know who this is?"
"Actually no…" He sweat dropped. "I'm not from around here."
"That's Jubei one of the six heroes who fought alongside Hakumen and defeated the Black Beast!" She told him, but Naruto still had no clue what was going on here.
"Easy there, no need to rip the kid's head off now. He's not from around I can tell, look at his clothes. If not he's more lost then you miss. Beside he saved your life, he used his own body to shield you, or else you would have shattered your way through the braches. I saw the whole thing." Jubei said.
Tsubaki let out a sigh before nodding.
"Now then, why don't you two take the little ones back to the village? You two must be tired from your travels from wherever you came from. I am sure the village cook will have one heck of a meal in wait." The moment he mentioned food their stomachs growled like hungry beasts, Naruto sweat dropped and chuckled, while Tsubaki blushed in embarrassment of her hunger getting the best of her.
While the two took the Kaka children back to their home, Jubei turned away and frowned.
"That kid…I can't shake a feeling something bad is on the way."
