Yo!! So life has become a little better now that I found a dorm who is okay with letting me play their N64. I have been trying for the last few days to beat The World Is Not Enough, and it is not going well. I get stuck on two levels, quit, and try again later. But I digress, Read and Enjoy.

Chapter 13: Z. Prism Team: Payback!!

Jungle District: En route to Violet Base: Inside the Z. Bomber.

"Ng…what happened…where am I?" Raven muttered, before he realized that he was tied up to the wall, behind Violet. "I see that the captive is back in this world." Violet said, as he began to work a monitor that had a screen cut into 6 squares, each showing another Z. Warrior.

"How goes the hunt?" Red asked. "I have captured Raven, and am en route to catching Kirikiri." Violet said. "Oh really!? That's great! Things seem to be going good for you!!" Indigo said, while Green groaned. "I wish I could say the same. Some kid who can manipulate his shadow is coming at me." Green said.

"That reminds me. Blue, you have that blond with purple on, right? He mentioned her." Green said, and Orange yawned. "You guys aren't mentioning anything fun or amazing at all. I want some action!" Orange said.

"Well then be prepared. If my guess is correct, we are all going to be getting some form of a visit from people who don't share our intent to control the world." Blue said, as he smirked darkly. "If what he says is true, then maybe completing the mission as quickly as possible won't be a bad idea." Red said.

"It isn't a hassle. I have Raven here right now. I will kill him at my leisure." Violet said. "Don't dilly-dally. The moment we become overconfident, we are in trouble." Red said, as his image disappeared.

"Red is no fun!! Just a big old worrywort!!" Indigo said, as she disappeared.

"Red shouldn't worry so much. My plan was to take over 7 regions, spreading our influence. There can't be enough people to stop all this." Blue said, as his image faded.

"For once, I think I agree with Blue." Green said, as he disappeared.

"Hm. You guys seem too full of yourselves." Yellow said, as she faded.

"Hope Red is right. I need some action!!" Orange said, as he disappeared.

"Hm. Seems like my comrade's agendas are their own…" Violet said, as he turned off the monitor. "Well my captive, I think I will hold you until I find your sister." Violet said, as Raven glared at him.

"You got me on a cheap shot. I won't lose you bastard." Raven said, and Violet smirked. "You can't stop me. I know you are the strength of you two. If I got you, then Kirikiri will fall as well." Violet said. "I suggest you not underestimate Arietta. She is stronger than she looks." Raven said, as he was carted to the cells. "Hmph. A 10 year old is hardly a challenge."

(Holding Room)

Raven sat in his cell for all of 30 minutes, before Raven smirked. "I knew you were around." Raven said, as Arieatta smirked as well. "You were always too perceptive big brother." Arietta said, and Raven chuckled.

"If you are done worshipping my awesomeness, can you unlock the cell?" Raven asked. Arietta inserted some of her chakra, and the lock broke open. "Now. Let's wait for this bastard to land and take his base down." Raven said, smirking an evil smirk.

In another cell were three girls. One of which, amazingly, was Hinata. "It seems someone new has been put into that cell next to ours." Hinata said, and the girl next to her with fire red hair tied in a pony tail. She wore a light red top and orange shorts.

Artemis.

"I know. Me and Sakura have been here for days now, and you were the last person to be brought here, and that was yesterday." Artemis said, as Hinata shrugged. "I hope Sasuke and Naruto are okay. After we agreed to travel the world on our own, I've been worried about them." The third girl, with pink hair said. She wore a red shirt, and had on a khaki-like skirt and had black biker shorts on under her skirt.

Sakura Haruno.

"From what I heard, it sounds like a boy." Hinata said, and Artemis smirked. "You are interested? From what you told me, you are engaged to someone." Artemis said, and Hinata smirked. "My fiancée is the only man for me." Hinata said, and Sakura smiled.

"You two must be happy. I wish I could find someone like that…" Sakura said, and sighed wistfully. "The way I see it, everyone has someone out there that is perfect for them. Your person is out there somewhere, Sakura." Artemis said, and they heard something being said from next door.

"So tell me sis. You ready to bust a move?" The boy said, and they heard some childish giggling. "Yeah big bro! Let's bust a move!!" After that, they heard the boy's cell being broken open, and walking.

"Big brother. Should we open the other cell? I don't know if anyone is there or not, but that shouldn't stop us from checking." She asked, and they heard the boy grunt. "Do what you wish, sis. I'm going to scope the place out." He said, and they heard the jutsu for Body Flicker. The girl used her chakra to bust the lock and opened the door.

"Hm? There are people here!!" She said, and Hinata stood up. "Are you here to help us?" Hinata asked. "My brother was captured, but he is nice, so we decided to bust everyone out!" She said, and Artemis smiled. "You know. You look like a smaller version of Sakura." The little girl smiled.

"So I do. I am Arietta. My brother has no last name, so I don't either." Arietta said, and Sakura smiled. "I am Sakura Haruno." Hinata introduced herself as well. "The name is Hinata Musashi." Artemis patted Arietta. "My name is Artemis. Like you, that is all." Arietta smiled.

"Does that mean you are related to big brother? He also has no last name!" Arietta said, and Artemis smiled. "Doubt it, kiddo." Artemis said, and before Arietta could rebuke, there was an explosion, and something flew past their cell, and landed on the wall with a painful thud.

"Big Brother!!" Arietta screamed, as she ran out the cell and over towards Raven, who was out. "Big Brother! Wake up!!" She shook him, and he groaned. "This guy is on the ball. That trap was rigged to explode if someone picked it." Raven said, and he used his Frosty Eye to soothe the burns on his body.

"But that was because I was careless. I can break in there this time!" Raven said, hopping to his feet. "Anyway, is there anyone in that cell?" Raven asked, as he stretched. "Yeah Big Brother! There are three girls!!" Arietta said, and Raven sighed.

"Nothing but girls? This guy must be some kind of creep." Raven said, as the girls came out of the cell. Once Raven caught sight of Sakura, his eyes widened, and he flashbacked to the girl from the hill. (What the!? The girl from my dreams!!) Raven thought, and he realized he was staring at her, before he looked away, embarrassed.

"S-Sorry. It wasn't my intention to stare." Raven said, looking away. "Something wrong, Big Brother?" Arietta asked. "No. Just a personal issue." Raven said, before he began to address the girls. "Okay. My name is Raven. Nothing more, nothing less. For some odd reason, the guy running the show here thinks it is alright to attack me. The reasons you girls are in here are your reasons, but since you are free, you are allowed to do whatever you want." Raven said, as he turned to Arietta.

"We have someone who is waiting to get a Kodachi up his ass." Raven said, and Arietta smiled and began to hop up and down. "Yay!! I get to fight alongside Big Brother!!" Arietta said, and Raven chuckled. "Heh heh. Come on sis." Raven and Arietta were about to leave, before Artemis got Raven's attention.

"Hey! We wish to help." Artemis said, and Raven regarded her. "Hmm. Are you three Kunoichi?" Raven asked. "Yes. We all are." Hinata said, and Raven smirked. "I don't see why you can't." Raven said, as he used his Frosty Eye to bust the chakra restraints the girls had on.

"Now come on ladies. I've got a meeting, and all who are on my side are free to crash the party!" Raven said, and he smirked, as Hinata chuckled. "Not the one I wish to fight, but if I take this one down, then maybe I will find him." Hinata said. "I am always good for a battle." Artemis said.

"And what about you? Or are you staying behind?" Raven asked Sakura, as she frowned at him. "I am not going to be left behind. What makes you so sure I wouldn't want to come as well?" Sakura asked. "Because Big Brother would rather you stay back." Arietta said, and Raven scowled at her. "Why would he want that?" Hinata asked, before Raven coughed.

"That is besides the point. Let's go!" Raven said, as he took off. "I think Big Brother likes Sakura-nee-chan." Arietta said, and Artemis chuckled. "You were always talking about finding your person, ne Sakura?" Artemis asked, as Sakura blushed. "To arms, ladies!!" Raven screamed, as Hinata and Artemis chuckled even more.

ShadowRonin: With a 5-man group backing him up, Raven prepares to bust out, and cause some collateral damage. Will this be a good idea, or are they in trouble?
