Yo!!! Things like procrastination, lack of will, and Starcraft have prevented me from keeping up with my stories. That and my need to lounge. So since school restarted, I'm back into a swing of sorts. Im shooting for an update a month.

Chapter 16: Assault on Orange: Trap!!!

Forest Zone: Leaf Ocean: Orange Base.

Tyson and friends managed to find the giant base after a marathon between him and the two Great Beasts of Konoha. "Guess they are faster than you thought, neh Ty-kun?" Kasumi asked, while Tyson sneered. "Ha! I wasn't trying my hardest!" Tyson said, waving his hands. Kasumi merely shook her head.

"Is this the place?' Tyson asked, as both Green Beasts nodded vigorously. "Well then, let's kick some ass!" Tyson said, before Lee walked up to the front door, and saw something hanging from it. "Gai-Sensei! Should I pull this?" Lee asked, as Tyson walked towards him.

"I don't think that is a good idea, Lee." Tyson said. "Yosh Lee!! Yank the Lever of Youth!!!" Gai screamed, as Tyson's eyes dotted. "That isn't a good-" Tyson didn't get to finish because he fell into the trap door, along with Lee, Gai, and Kasumi.

(Orange's room)

Orange looked at what happened, and sweat dropped. "I really…didn't think…that would work…" Orange muttered, looking confused. "They are really that dumb?" Orange once again asked, before he closed his eyes, and shrugged.

(Jail)

"Let's not pull the lever I said. But no! It had to not be a trap because it's the fucking Lever of Youth!!!" Tyson yelled, and Lee looked to Tyson. "It looked really youthful…" Lee said, and Tyson decked him something fierce. "Shut the fuck up!!!" Tyson yelled, his eyes white and flames surrounding his hands.

"Ty-kun….don't take your anger out on them…" Kasumi said, as Tyson glared harshly at both Lee and Gai. "Why not? It is their fault!" Tyson said, and Gai stood up, looking with determination. "I know what we must do!" Gai said, and Tyson looked at him warily.

"Let's talk to the one who owns this base, and they will release us because they see how youthful and hip me and Lee are!" Gai said, and Tyson leveled him with fists and flames. By the time Kasumi dragged him away, Gai was on the ground face down, bruises all over is face and burns all over his body.

"Tyson!!! Don't kill him!!" Kasumi pleaded, while Tyson had smoke coming out of his ears, and eyes red as demonic fury. "Dead!!! They are both so fucking dead!!!" Tyson yelled, and Kasumi had some kind of time holding him back. "YOU DECKED GAI-SENSEI!? WHAT KIND OF-" Lee shut up at the dark malevolent glare Tyson shot at him, and took to taking care of Gai. "I hate them. So much." Tyson muttered.

Orange looked to the 4 stuck in the cell, and sweat dropped. "This seems to easy. The two green beasts as they are called are too stupid to be of any intellect. The girl and the boy seem like the ones we need to break." Orange said. "I want her and him fighting each other."

Tyson noted that no one had come to check on them, and was beginning to become a little worried. "Hm…something isn't right here." Tyson muttered to himself, as Kasumi was sitting by the wall, and Gai and Lee were making outrageous proclamations that had even more outrageous consequences.

(Those idiots are useless…) Tyson thought to himself, before he noted that someone was coming. "The girl." The guard said, and Tyson glared. "Like hell!" Tyson said, standing up. "Either she comes with us, or you all die here and now." The guard said, and Tyson frowned.

(Damnit. Our hands are tied…) Tyson thought, as Kasumi stood. "It's okay. I'll buy some time." Kasumi said, as she walked away with the guard. "Damnit!!" Tyson yelled, and the Green Beasts looked at him. "This is some shit! We're stuck here, and there's nothing we can do!!" Tyson yelled. "You must be patient. When the enemies slip up, we will strike." Gai said, and Tyson frowned at him. "You better be right, turtle boy."

(Orange's Room)

Kasumi was lead into this room where Orange was, smriking. "Ah. You must be the Kunoichi of the little rats I've captured." Orange said, and Kasumi glaed at him. "Hm. You are quite spirited for someone in your position." Orange said, and he smiled darkly. "I think I can use that power of yours."

(Jail)

Tyson sat, his eyes closed as Gai and Lee were playing Janken. "I swear to god if you play that damn game one more time, I'll kill you both." Tyson said, and Gai and Lee looked at him with pity. "He has become so bitter and mean since he lost his flower." Lee said, and Tyson stood to his feet, glaring. He was about to lay them to waste, but the floor broke off into two separate tunnels, one Gai and Lee slid down, the other Tyson slid down.

Tyson hit the bottom, and groaned. "Damn that hurt…" Tyson muttered, as he stood to his feet. "Whoever did that is going to get their asses kicked!!" Tyson yelled. "You have quite the mouth, boy." Tyson heard.

"Yeah, I've been told! It's especially good at taunting weak ass-holes who can't fight themselves!!!" Tyson yelled, and he could feel the smirk. "You want to fight me? Well then, be my guest. But you have to get past my guard first." He heard the voice say, and he ran down the hall.

"No problem!! I'll crush anyone dumb enough to-!?" Tyson stopped his rant as he ran to what looked like a cave with an open area. Standing in the center was Kasumi.

(Separate Shaft)

Gai slid down the shaft and Lee fell right behind him. By a lucky twist, he snagged on a hidden passageway, while Lee continued his plummet. "LEE!!!!" Gai yelled. "GAI-SENSEI!!!!!!" Both nin had tears of youth falling as they parted ways.

(Tyson)

"Kasumi? Why are you here?" Tyson asked, and he smirked. "Not a problem! Let's go and kick this dude's ass!!!" Tyson said, grabbing her wrist, only for her to jerk her hand away, and kick him into the wall. "!?" Tyson slid down, and looked confused.

"What's the matter, little warrior? Don't want to hurt your girlfriend?" The voice said menacingly, and Tyson scowled. "Whatever you did to her, undo it now!!" Tyson yelled. "You are in no position to be making demands. If you want to save her, come kill me. But in order to do that, you have to kill her. What a twist!" The voice said, laughing maniacally. Tyson slammed his fist into the wall, making a dent in it.

"Damnit!" Tyson yelled in anger, as Kasumi took her fighting stance right in the middle of the fighting area. "I don't want to hurt her…" Tyson muttered to himself.

(Lee)

Lee landed in the center of an arena, and noted that he was the only one there. "Hello? Is anyone here?" Lee asked. "But of course, boy. What kind of host would I be if you weren't tended to?" The voice said, as close to tens of hundreds of Aparoids walked out from the 4 doors.

"This should be enough of a greeting for you, right?" The voice said, and Lee smiled with pingy whiteness. "Yosh!! My youth shall guide me to Gai-Sensei and friends!!!!" Lee yelled, as he got into his stance.

(Orange's Room)

Orange sat in his room, watching the two tvs that had Tyson and Kasumi and the other one that had Lee. "I see that my plan to divide and conquer them is working." Orange said, as he turned around. "And now you will be losing, Maito Gai." Gai stood in the doorway, frowning.

"So that was the plan." Gai said. "Yes. Of all the ninja, you seem to be the biggest threat. A bigger version of the little creep that's fast." Orange said, and Gai gave a thumbs up. "And I will save my favorite protégé!!" Gai said. "I doubt that." Orange said.

ShadowRonin: It's getting interesting. Tyson is forced to fight Kasumi, Lee is forced to fight an army, and Gai faces the leader. Who will win this grab bag free for all?

Next Chapter: The guys are in for the fights of their lives as they battle their separate fights, with survival as their only concern. See who makes it in:
