Chapter 1: The shield gives me strange companions.

(Meadow outside the castle town) (Kingdom of melromarc)

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA"

A rage filled scream echoed throughout the meadows.

The source of the scream turned out to be a 20-year-old Japanese man punching away at some balloon shaped creatures with signs of no damage being done. His emerald eyes were like those of a raging bull with his black downward spiky hair bristled in malice. He was dressed in a light brown open short sleeve vest with a black long sleeve shirt that had a high gold trim collar along with a a dark green baggy pants and mantle. The outfit finished with a pair of dark green combat boots. On his right arm was a small shield that had an emerald orb in the center of it.

His name is naofumi iwatani, the bearer of the legendary shield weapon and currently the most hated person in this country of this world.

*POP*

With a popping sound, the balloon exploded relieving exp point and balloon skin which quickly put into a knapsack that naofumi carried with him that held the other remains of the fallen balloon horde.

'Level UP!'

'Conditions for orange small shield and yellow small shield have been released!'

Was the stats icon that appeared in his vision after the death of the last balloon monster.

"So, I'm in level two now" Naofumi said with a snarl threatening to surface on his face. "In this large span of time, this world is still looking for ways to mess with me."

Suddenly the shield's orb began to shine with the light's intensity increasing with each second passing.

"What the fuck?!" He yelled as the light engulfed him and a small piece of the area piece of the area surrounding him.

Then as it came, it vanished.

Naofumi stared at the shield with a dumbfound expression on his face "did it just make a mid-day light show?"

Then he noticed he was no longer alone in his area of the meadows.

On the ground laid seven unconscious individuals, 5 males and 2 females. Most of them looked Japanese by appearance while one of the females looked American. Their age range seems to be about 17-13. Two of the boys had black hair, another pair of boys and the American girl had brown hair, the last boy had blonde hair while the Japanese girl had dark blue hair. Then he noticed there was a new born brown haired baby girl wrapped in clothing among them carried unconsciously by a brown head teen with a sword.

'It's official! This world is officially trying to drive me nuts.' Naofumi thought with deadpan on his face which quickly changed to concerned one as many bad scenarios popped in his head after all he still a human with a heart.

'Better get the old man and get these guys out of here then figure out what to do afterward' he summed as he went to get probably the only person he can trust in this world.

(2 hours later) (Old man's weapons shop)

After explaining their and his situations to the now conscious individual and their reaction goes as followed:

"So, we're struck here" Said by one of the boys who had tall brown gravity defying hair and brown eyes with a strained tone. His name was Tai Kamiya; He was from an earth that was connected to another world by name of 'The digital world' where creatures called 'Digimon' resides. Tai's job was to lead a group of other kids along with their partner Digimon to ensure peace between the two worlds. But for some odd reasons, he was seeming to be putting on a fake. He was transported here by a bright flash while celebrating an anniversary of some kind. He was dressed on a blue t-shirt and orange cargo pants with white sneakers. His age is 23.

Then he turned side and muttered quietly "Even a year since my digivice turned dust that the universe decides to send me to fix another world issue."

" You have got to be kidding me" Said with disbelieve by the American girl who had short brown hair and light brown eyes. Her name was Nikki Maxwell. She was what you call a down to earth girl or a dork to some individuals. She was somewhat weird out by the situation. She was actually on her way to a university in New Jersey when she brought by the same flash. She was dressed in a grey wool blouse with a long light brown shirt that stops below her knees which completed with black short heeled shoes. Her age is 20.

"No way" Exclaimed another boy with black spiky hair with amber eyes. His name was Takashi Komuro. He is a 17-year-old high school student. Like Nikki and Naofumi's home world, his world was normal. He attends Funji academy where he was currently in his 2nd year. The only issue he has is that his childhood crush broke their pinky promise of getting married when they grow up and is dating his best friend. He was dressed in a black buttoned long sleeve shirt, grey vest, black jeans and gray sneakers. He was on his way to school while avoiding his best friend and ex-crush when the same bright flash brought him here.

"If his shield brought us here then we have a role to play in this world's fate." Said sagely another boy with flat spiky brown hair and dark brown eyes. His name is jack Russell; he's 17 years old and he was from the medieval world of 'tottarus'. The rest of his history he refuses to disclose. The only he disclosed is that he was banished from the continent of radiata for following his gut and his heart. He was dressed in a dark brown sleeveless woolly shirt with light brown pant that has multiple packets. On his back was a light brown sword with a pearl in the center of the hilt. Its red Sheath was wrapped in bandages if one looked closely, they would see that blade itself was broken at the hilt. He was wandering around the boarders of the continent when the bright flash brought him here with an important crystallized life form in his care.

Also, the baby girl that appeared with him who was now drinking special bottled milk by the hands of the old weapons shop with her emerald-colored eyes brimmed with baby joy was his biological daughter 'Julie Russell Silverlake' while dressed in a black themed dragon themed baby outfit with diapers though her birth confused him when they ask him why. He told them he can't explain it at the moment.

"…" A black-haired boy stared at them in silence. His name was Shinji Ikari and his age is 14. Nothing else was discovered from him except as he was currently mentally withdrawn as far as the dead look in his eyes went. Although a small smile appeared on his face in response to his thought. 'A do over with new friends and new life.'

"Anything this world wants to throw me and Hinata we can take it!" Shouted the blond-haired boy with the dark blue haired girl nodded with acceptance as everyone who summoned by the shield turned them since their situation with the summoning is different. Their names were Naruto Uzumaki for the boy while the girls are Hinata Hyuga. Both were 13 years old. They were from a world full with ninjas with abilities to do amazing techniques. Naruto himself was a ninja that had a special duty to the world to contain a powerful nine tailed fox demon 'kyubi' that nearly destroyed his and Hinata home 'Konohagakure' normally this info was secret except the higher ups of their village but he and his friend were literally in another world, he might provide that information since he somewhat sure that no one in this world has technique needed to extract the demon so he was pretty much safe in that department. He and hinata were followed Naruto sensei the toad sanin 'Jiraya' on a mission before he and Naruto go to a training trip to some strange cave that somewhat close to his village Location. In the end everything that happened lead them here through a strange book that gave out a bright flash that brought them when Jiraiya perform some cause kind of justu on the book. The book was called 'Four Heavenly Weapon's Manual' from what they could remember which cause Naofumi's eyes to widen as that was also the name of the same book that brought him to this world.

"So, we all agree that the universe decided that our normal and slowly worsening lives was too average and screwed us over by forcing to fight for a world that none of us even know exist." Naruto continued getting a chorus of yeah as a reply. "Then how about we all join forces with Naofumi-san here."

This got Naofumi's eyes to widen greatly

"w-what?" he stuttered for first in his stay of this world obviously they didn't care what the rumors said about him even when he explains his side of the rumors. It meets with sympathy gazes from the boys while the girls were generating high levels of bloodlust suggesting they have seen similar individuals in their worlds.

"As I saying" Naruto continued ", It's better to join Naofumi here first of all because it was his weapons that brought us to him and we have zero ideas how the other heroes will take us as it is, they will think we are weak because of their bigotry belief of the shield hero thus screwing the world over taking all of us along with it. And believe me; I want to live to a ripe old age.

This was met with nods from the others.

"So, team?" Naofumi getting ready to send the invite

"Team" The other chorused including shinji who had a smile on his face.

'Those are so going to regret crossing me.' Naofumi thought as he sent out the party invites that were immediately replied.

Unaware of the system alert that appeared at the bottom of their menu.

'Brigade created. Brigade system online.'

A/N: Finally typed this chapter. Don't worry Naofumi will still get Raphtalia. Shinji and Naruto will the other two that present alongside with her but they will be female and raphtalia age mate. The group itself will performs like a Stryker brigade combat team from what I read about them though this may change at some point in the story. Jack's daughter is an oc that I created for radiate stories fanfics and yes, her mother is jack's love interest 'Ridley Silverlake '; But her backstory will be revealed later in the story. Jiraiya also has a very special part in this story.
