Chapter 15: Konohagakure, the Land of Fire
Dec. 27th, 12:00 hours Earth time. Diplo II, Shruiken IV Subspace.
Fayt looked on, from one of the starboard viewing decks, at the green planet below them. The entire planet of Shruiken IV was a planet slightly underdeveloped planet that they had liberated a couple days earlier. It had a climate identical to Earth's, there was one huge continent inhabited by 5 great nations and there were smaller countries, in addition to the 5 major powers. The planet had actually been able to hold their own, and held the Nedians to a stalemate. There were some extremely strong warriors there.
The entire Allied Fleet had amassed in the Shruiken Star System. A Fleet of 100,000 starships strong was assembled. It consisted of the Expellian, Tetragenian, Klausian, Vendeen, and Aldian fleets. Fayt looked on at the peaceful planet and then watched as a cold, metallic battle ship drifted past them. He had been thinking lately…what if they failed?
What if I'm not strong enough to win against them? I'm fighting an army here…and can I keep going on like this? How many live have I taken? How many families have I broken? And it isn't really the soldiers' faults. They are just listening to the damn orders of their superiors.
Man now that I look back on this entire journey, I haven't had a second to take a break. I mean, it has already nearly been a year since my life has had to change. But I guess, it was my fate to experience all of this. In one year…I've saved the world, killed another person, dealt with countless deaths…and I've fallen in love.
Maria…we've been apart too long. It's really starting to hurt me. I'm just really happy around her…but now she's gone. So I have to be strong and win her back!! I'm gonna make them all pay…these people have had no right to trespass on our universe.
He sat there looking at Shruiken IV, they were about to venture down to the planet to see how the people were faring and recovering. They had been down there previously, when they fought the few ground forces on the planet. He heard someone walking toward him and spun around on his heel. He saw Cliff walking towards him.
"You ready to go kid?" Cliff asked.
"Yeah, hey why are we going down again?"
"Oh no big deal, we're just gonna check up on the locals, explain to them that the world is not ending and crap like that."
"Oh all right then." The two walked off to meet the guys at the hangar.
"But Fayt, can you believe the size of that blond women's-," Fayt interrupted by giving him a good clonk on the head.
"Cliff shut up!!! She was like the head of their village or something, we can't go talking like that about our allies!!!!" Cliff laughed mischievously and they continued on.
"Again," a tall man said. This man had long white hair, and had an old, hard face. He wore a white and red robe and had red painted streaks underneath his eyes. He gestured for an adolescent to continue his work and do it again. The blond boy nodded, his blue eyes burning with determination.
"Right….Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!!!" the youth yelled. He made a hand sign by placing his two fingers in a cross. There was a loud popping noise and immense amount of smoke. Once it cleared, a clone, an exact replica of the boy appeared next to him. "Now….Rasengan!!!" he yelled. The doppelganger began to scratch the air around the real boy's palm. Soon enough, a swirling ball of condensed blue energy appeared in his palm.
"Hiya!!" he yelled. His clone popped and charged forward at a huge slab of rock.
"Remember this exercise is for control, rather than sheer force, Naruto!!!" the old man yelled.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm a master at this ero-sennin!!!!!" he charged at the rock and slammed his ball of energy into the rock. At first it seemed like he would break down the whole wall. Now manipulate the release of chakra!!. "HAA!!!!" he yelled as his hand plowed through the thick rock. He quickly pulled his hand back and dusted the rock dust off himself and smiled triumphantly. The dust began to clear and it revealed a perfectly round circle in the wall.
"Well done kid, you're really coming along," the old man said.
"Thanks Jiraiya sensei, huh?" he said suddenly.
"What?" he asked but turned around to see what Naruto was pointing out.
"What is that?" Jiraiya asked. There was a metallic shuttle in the distance, the engines hummed and the blue light from them could be seen.
"Is it Akatsuki?" Naruto yelled. "Hey, its near Konoha too, you think it has anything to do with the recent invaders?"
"I-I dunno, but let's not worry about it now, I have a good feeling about it. Now! Let me see that technique again or I'll make you train with Mr. Gamariki!!!!!"
"N-NO!!! Not that damn frog, alright, alright, Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!!!!" he yelled. Trees around the clearing they were in rustled as the wind rocked their branches.
"Alright so we are in the Land of Fire?" Fayt asked.
"Yep, there are four more lands, protected by their hidden villages. The land of fire is protected by the Leaf Village Shinobi, of Konoha."
"Ahh so the warriors of the land are shinobi?" Nel asked with deep interest.
"Yes, but their style of fighting is different. They combine hand signs with chakra, or spiritual energy from within their bodies."
"Ahh, yes I am familiar with that style. It is a more all-emcompassing art of taijutsu, ninjutsu and genjutsu. My techniques are taijutsu, enhanced with chakra from my body. Amazing, I'd love to see them in action, and maybe learn a few things," Nel said.
"Remember Nel we only have a few days before the invasion, so we can't linger too long. But the warriors are strong, they had techniques, strong enough to block bombardments from space. And then when it came to hand to hand fighting, their lack of technology wasn't an obstacle."
"Well you gotta consider you fool, chakra is an amazing source of energy. Anyone who learns how to be able to draw it out at will gains an amazing arsenal of techniques. I mean we use a few techniques that use chakra. My claw of destruction uses it. And Nel's flying guillotine uses it too. And then your Ethereal Blast is raw chakra, at its best," Albel snorted.
"Well Mr. Expert on Chakra, I'm sorry!!!" Fayt yelled.
"Well I did some training with chakra, just a little though."
"Alright I'm gonna land us right outside the village," Cliff said. The ship landed in a clearing among the trees, a good distance away from the village. They got off the ship and observed their surroundings.
"Let's see, the atmosphere feels exactly like Earth's," Fayt said. The air around them was a little humid, and there were trees around them, as far as they eye could see. They navigated themselves onto the main road and walked on it for an hour or two, until they saw the outline of the village's wall. The huge gates stood open, it was the village hidden in the leaves, known as Konoha.
As they neared the gates, they heard a rustling in the trees and quickly drew their weapons. An ambush? Fayt thought as he pulled out his sword.
"Its no use, we have you surrounded," said a voice. They looked in front of them and saw two masked figures, one with white spiky hair, a male. Then there was a female with long purple hair, the one who had spoken. They seemed to be wearing animal masks, and had light armor on. Metal plates covered their arms and hands and metal shinguards protected their legs.
"Surrounded? As if you fool!!!!" Albel yelled!!!!!!! They clearly weren't surrounded. Then a second later, the two figures made identical hand seals, a cross with their figures.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!!!!" they yelled in unison. And a second later, they were surrounded by 10 figures. 5 copies of the female, 5 copies of the male, they were surrounded.
"Ah a ninjutsu," Nel whispered.
"Hold on senpai, wasn't Hokage-sama expecting them?" the female asked.
"Yes, but we can't be sure if they are the real ones, give me a second, let me open my eye…SHARINGAN!!!" the male answered.
"Ahhh a doujutsu (eye technique)," said Nel. "They're shinobi skills are on a whole different level than mine." Fayt was surprised; even Nel was impressed with their techniques. They must be good.
"So Senpai?" the female asked. She looked ready to pounce at any moment. She had her hand on her sword and was poised to strike.
"My Sharingan eyes don't detect a genjutsu or ninjutsu here, they are the ones," the male said, as he took off his mask.
"Kakashi!!!" Cliff yelled. The man called Kakashi smiled and waved at him. He wore a mask over his face, concealing his mouth but not his eyes.
"Ahh Cliff, you remember me, sorry for the mix up. Release!!" he said, as he formed a seal with his hands. He placed them together, with the forefinger and index finger pointing upwards. The clones disappeared in a cloud of smoke. The woman followed suit and her clones disappeared too.
"Cliff, ya know him?" Fayt asked.
"Yeah, I met him when I first came down to greet their leader, called the 'Hokage'." Cliff replied.
"Sorry about the mix-up, you just can't help but be careful, I mean with recent events and our country still has its own problems to deal with," Kakashi replied.
"Nah its cool, we understand, so who is your companion?" Cliff asked.
"Well she is a current ANBU member, a part of our secret black ops corps, so I can't tell you her real name. And she can't take her mask off either, her code name is Raikiri. Which is actually ironic…since that translates into Lightning Edge, the name of my one technique."
"Oh, well nice to meet you 'Raikiri'," said Cliff. Fayt and the others nodded at her and introduced themselves to Kakashi.
"Well, I don't want to waste anymore time babbling, if you would follow us, we'll bring you to Hokage-sama." Kakashi had a very soft and calm tone. He seemd like a very laid-back person.
"Lead the way my man," Cliff replied. Kakashi took the lead, and Raikiri took the rear and followed behind everyone.
A blonde haired woman, that looked quite young, sat in a chair with her forehead laying on top of a tall stack of papers. The ink was beginning to stick to her forehead, probably since she had her head on the stack for so long. There was a loud poof of smoke and she instantly woke up.
It was a frog, a red one with blue streaks on its skin. "Yo, old lady!!!!"
"GAMAKICHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not old!!!" the lady yelled as she threw a kunai knife at the frog.
"Where the hell did you get that knife??" it yelled at her, as he dodged out of the knife's path. The frog was medium sized, about twice as thick as a human being and just as tall.
"Ahh Gamakichi, you're getting bigger, how are Naruto and Jiraiya doing? How is Naruto's training going?" the blonde lady asked.
"Well thank you m'am, Jiraiya and the kid are doing well. The kid has come along pretty well, how long has it been since they left? About a year? Anyways Jiraiya just wanted to make sure everything was good here. They saw an otherworldly ship and they thought it was Akatsuki."
"Oh tell him they shouldn't worry. We did have recent invaders but the ship they saw was our allies'. Oh! So that means I should be expecting them soon. So yeah, just tell Jiraiya I'm doing well, and greet those two knuckleheads for me," she said.
"Will do, oh and one more thing. Jiraiya asks…hehe. Well he said last time he measured them…they were 162 cm. And he wants to know…are they still the same size, Tsunade?" the frog asked with a sly grin.
"AHHHH!!!!!!!! Jiraiya!!! I'm gonna kill him!!! You tell him….to go screw himself!!!" she yelled as she opened the window and threw the frog out.
"Ahhh!!! Don't kill the messenger!!!" the frog cried as he disappeared on the horizon. At that moment someone knocked at her door.
"Can we come in?" a voice asked, Tsunade knew the quiet and cool voice well.
"Yes, come right in Kakashi," she said. She straightened herself in her seat, wiped the drool from her mouth, and quickly rubbed the ink off her forehead. As the leader of Konoha, she had to look somewhat professional for her otherworldly guests.
Heh, who would have known there were other planets out there, anyways, here goes. Her door slowly shifted open and creaked loudly as it did.
"Kakashi, you have our guests?" Tsunade asked in a dignified tone.
"Yes Hokage-sama, I'll let them introduce themselves to you," Kakashi replied, he stepped out of the way.
"I'm Fayt Leingod."
"Nel Zelpher."
"Albel Nox."
Cliff stepped up and started showing off his muscles. "I am the amazingly charming Cliff Fittir, nice to meet you m'am." He smiled at her, but his eyes didn't seem to meet hers.
"Mr. Fittir, as colleagues, I think it is more professional, if you keep your perverted eyes off my boobs!!!" she yelled. She gave Cliff a good uppercut and sent him flying through the roof.
"OWWW!!!!!!!!" he yelled. Everyone peered through the hole but couldn't see Cliff.
Damn, I haven't seen anyone beat Cliff that easily before. Man she is strong!!! I'll remember to not get on her bad side. "Sorry about that, Cliff is just-," he got cut off as Tsunade turned on him.
"What you too? Why is this world filled with a bunch of pig-headed men!!!" she was about to punch him too. But Nel got in the way and stopped Tsunade.
"Hehe, sorry about that, I wouldn't worry about Fayt, he isn't a perv unlike Cliff," Nel replied. She smiled at Tsunade and she seemed to calm down. What strength! I had to gather my chakra in my palms to block the blow. And that required a decent amount of chakra.
I see, she is a shinobi as well. Good manipulation of chakra. Kakashi thought as he looked on with his Sharingan.
"Haha, sorry about that!! Anyways where were we?" Tsunade said, ashamed. "Oh yeah. I am Hokage of the village. I am its leader and my job is to govern and protect its people. You must understand we musn't tell our citizens that there are other worlds out there…not yet. And in our current situation, it just isn't possible."
"We understand fully m'am. We just want to clear things up and make sure the planet's leadership wasn't going crazy. That is all, and we aren't asking you to adapt to our technology. We encourage that you continue to develop on your own," Fayt responded.
"Hmm, well said, I wouldn't expect one with your age to speak with such dignity and experience. You could teach a certain 15 year old I know, a few things. Isn't that right Kakashi?" she asked.
"Haha, definitely," he responded.
"Th-Thank you Hokage-sama," Fayt responded.
"With that said…" she said as she retrieved a black book from her desk. "Kakashi I am going to have you lead an ANBU team on this S Rank mission. I know you aren't technically ANBU any more but…you are still a member…technically."
"Of course…but what does this have to do with the offworlders Hokage-sama?" Kakashi asked as he looked at Raikiri tentatively.
"You will accompany them, we are in debt to them after they helped save the village. Heck, the planet. You will take agents Raikiri and Yamato."
"Oh, Tenzou huh? Well I guess I could use a little adventure. And seeing as Naruto won't be back for another year or so…I have some time on my hands," Kakashi said very cooly.
"Its settled then, you will accompany Fayt and his friends, along with the assigned ANBU members."
Fayt remained silent but felt like he had to cut in, "Hold on a second. You have no idea of the danger we're facing!!"
Tsunade smirked at him. "You think they'll be a hindrance to your mission?"
"I-I didn't say that!!!" Fayt replied.
"Actually I think they will," Nel said. Hmm, finally a chance to see their techniques.
Nel? She's never talked out of turn before, this is so unlike her. I would expect something from Albel, but he has been quiet the whole time.
"Well then, I say you fight them, to get a good idea of their skills," Tsunade said.
"That's the best idea you've said all day fool," Albel said, breaking his silence. "I've been getting bored from all this talk!"
Tsunade grinned, "What do you say Kakashi?"
"I'm game, I"ll, wait your friend is dropping in in 5…4…3…2…" On cue, Cliff came crashing through the hole in the ceiling and began to writhe on the ground. He was completely unconscious. "As I was saying, I'll get Ten-I mean Yamato and meet you guys at training ground three!" In a pop of smoke Kakashi and Raikiri disappeared
"Wh-Wha? I guess we gotta fight them now, good job guys!! Damn, what are we gonna do with Cliff?" Fayt fumed.
"Don't worry about him, I'll tend to his wounds. I'm a medical specialist, just get ready for your fight. Come to me when you are ready and I'll show you to your battle area."
Fayt nodded and they went off, leaving Cliff in her hands.
"Ready?" Kakashi asked. There they were, six of them in Training Ground three. They were surrounded by trees and there was a large clearing in the center of the mini-jungle. Tsunade looked on, she was concealed in one of the trees. A heavily bandaged Cliff, stood next to her.
"Whenever you are," Fayt replied. A new ninja had joined Kakashi's group. He also wore a mask, but had the same armor and sword as the other two
"Alright stand back, I'm gonna go berserk on these fools!!" Albel yelled. He charged forward with his sword raised. The new figure, Yamato, moved first. He clasped his palms together, forming a hand seal.
"Wood Style, Wood Prison!!!" he yelled and as Albel dashed toward him wooden bars sprang up around him, threatening to imprison him. Albel looked worried
"Shit…"
"I got your back Albel. Fire Style, Fire Ball!!" Nel released a small ball of fire at the wood. The one called Yamato smiled again.
"Water Style, Water Pistol!" He yelled. He conjured water from nowhere and a strong burst of water put out the fire. This allowed the wooden bars to enclose Albel in a wooden prison.
Wow...the chakra required to conjure water from nowhere...would be immense. Fire is easy...all you need is air. Earth is easy since it is all around you. Nel thought as she looked on in admiration.
"Let me out damn it!!!" Albel yelled as he slashed around, rampaging, but to no avail.
"You were too hasty Albel, you should have waited for me and Nel to back you up," Fayt said. Hmm, their techniques are interesting…I'd love to learn sometime. He sprinted forward and caught Yamato off guard. In an explosive motion Fayt brandished his sword and moved to catch him in a deadlock. But Ya,ato quickly pulled out his sword and blocked.
What speed! His speed surpassed Gai's…Kakashi thought. This broke Yamato's concentration and the wood prison collapsed.
"HELL YEAHH!!!" Albel yelled. He jumped up and slashed at Kakashi. But Raikiri cut out his move. "Woah, I didn't even see that maggot move!" He yelled as he had to dodge again. She wielded her blade with such confidence and strength, Albel was being pushed.
Albel grabbed her sword with his claw and brought his to her neck. "Checkmate, fool."
"I don't think so," Raikiri said. The clone popped and a log was left in place. As he looked behind him, 4 copies of her were charging at him from all sides. The one coming from the front popped right as it was about to slash. He rose his sword to block it but looked around again to see where she could be attacking from.
"Damn, that's a fake…he blocked the one from behind and it popped, the ones on his right and left popped when he blocked their blades. "That means…above!!!" he yelled.
"Earth Style, Mud Bombs!!" she opened her mouth and began to spit huge globs of mud at him. He dodged the first two rounds then he slashed through the last round. He jumped off the ground and threw himself at Raikiri. She seemed dumbstruck, but in a quick flash Kakashi appeared and gave Albel a painful sidekick in his stomach. Kakashi's forehead protector was raised above his eye which revealed a red eye with three spokes around the pupil. There was also a scar above his eye. They had not particularly paid attention to it earlier.
"Thank you senpai," Raikiri said quickly as she breathed heavily. Yamato retreated back to them and they formed a triangle facing the unorganized group. Fayt looked at Kakashi.
Hmm, he is quite surprising, and that eye of his…what could it do? "Nel, tell me should we be worried about his eye?"
"Well, yes. His eye is a type of doujutsu, or eye technique, it lets him see things, that aren't perceivable by the regular eye. I have heard of doujutsus that predict movements and give its users powerful techniques."
"So should I be careful approaching him?"
"Well, that is a given. But he wouldn't use his techniques unless it was a real battle situation. So we shouldn't be too afraid, but nevertheless, we must be cautious."
Fayt nodded and assessed the situation. Let's see our enemy obviously has the advantage in combat experience. They've been trained to cooperate together and work as a unit. And above all, they've been trained for multiple combat situations. So the only way to get a jump on them is to show them a technique they've never seen before…Or a technique even I didn't know that I had…Ok we are approximately 30 yards apart. We are within their range of projectiles. But Nel has her flying guillotine move.
The problem is she is the only long-range fighter we have. While Albel and I are close range fighters…but the enemy is adept at both. Okay…I'll use Albel and Nel as my decoys.
"Guys, you two will go in first, focus on Kakashi and the other guy. I am going to take out Rai, because she seemed to exhaust a lot of energy from her last technique. Ready? Go!" Albel and Nel pranced forward; Kakashi and Yamato stepped in front of Raikiri to let her recover. Yamato made a hand seal.
"Earth Style! Rising Wall!" Yamato made a tall wall rise up, between them and Albel and Nel. It curved around to protect them on the sides. Then, he formed another seal. "Water Style! Gushing Waterfall!!" and then water fell from the top of the wall. It caused Nel and Albel to stop. Then, their feet were submerged in water.
"Well done Yamato," Kakashi said. He made three seals and then slammed his hand onto the waterfall. "Collaboration Jutsu, Raikiri pulse!" He sent his lightning blade technique through the water and it hit Nel and Albel.
"Shitt," Albel said as he looked at the water. The two were fried to a crisp.
"Alright two down…where is the other one?" Kakashi said as he looked around. He looked up and saw Fayt, charging his energy. "Crap it was a diversion!" he yelled. He was about to move to cut him out, but was too slow. In a blue whir, Fayt disappeared.
"Hehe, too slow!!" Fayt yelled. He landed in front of Raikiri, and gave her a good side kick in the stomach. Fayt disappeared again and appeared in front of Yamato. He slammed the hilt of his sword into his stomach.
"Damn!!" Yamato said as he fell to the ground. Then, Fayt faced Kakashi. Albel and Nel shortly joined him, although they were badly hurt they could still stand. Kakashi made three shadow clones and looked at the group seriously. Albel moved first and charged the 'copy ninja'.
Kakashi's eyes saw him move before he actually moved. His clone moved first and put Albel in an arm lock. Then his other clone slid around Albel with a kunai knife. "Secret technique!!! 1000 Years of Death!!!" he yelled as he stabbed Albel in the ass.
"Arghhh damn you worm!!!" he yelled vainly as he fell to the ground. Nel charged next and actually had a hard time dealing with the two clones that kept her at bay. Nel jumped up and then slashed with her blade, "Mirror Slice!" she yelled. She brought her knives down on the two clones and they disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Nel looked around and couldn't see him. "I can't see him either Nel!" Fayt yelled as his eyes darted all over the place. Suddenly the earth under her shook and she felt a hand grab her leg. Kakashi dug underground! He burst from the ground and gave her a fierce uppercut, knocking her eye in the air, and then Kakashi disappeared. He reappeared beneath her then grabbed her and then faced towards the ground. Sorry Gai, I'm going to have to use your technique. "Primary Lotus!!" They both crashed into the ground, with the entire weight of gravity behind them.
When the smoke cleared, an unconscious Nel was found on a cushion. "I summoned a cushion so that your friend wouldn't get too hurt." Kakashi said as he smiled at Fayt.
"Damn it…this guy…he is tough." Fayt jumped forward and released a flurry of strikes with his sword, Kakashi blocked, ducked and parried each strike perfectly. Fayt jumped up, "Air Raid!!" he yelled. The blast actually caught him off guard and raised both his hands to block. Fayt smiled as his feet touched the ground. "Dimension Door!" He disappeared and reappeared behind Kakashi and he brought his sword to his neck. "Ha!"
"Sorry," Kakashi said as his body popped and was replaced with a log. Just as Fayt saw the log, as the smoke cleared, his face was suddenly thrusted into the ground. Kakashi had used a replacement jutsu and had appeared in the air behind him and kicked his head.
"Ack!!" he yelled as he spit some dirt out of his mouth. He suddenly felt Kakashi sit on him, as he pulled out a book.
"Good fight, you remind me a student of mine," he said as he replaced his forehead protector over his eye. "You have a lot of chakra in your body, my Sharingan eye can sense it. We should train so you can release that chakra…" he said casually. Fayt smiled smugly and looked at his beaten comrades.
Boy, am I glad Kakashi is an ally, I'd hate to fight him for real, who knows what else he has up his sleeve! "Well Tsunade was right, you guys will only be able to help us on our journey."
Kakashi smiled and got off him, he helped Fayt up and got the others together to go rest in the shade. Afterwards, he treated them to some Ichiraku Ramen, and actually paid for it.
"Alright Kakashi, I expect a full report when you get back. All of you, Raikiri, Yamato, look out for each other alright?" Tsunade said. They were at the gates of Konoha, getting ready to leave.
"Yes m'am," Raikiri and Yamato said.
"Oh and its ok if you take off your masks for this mission and you can tell our allies your real names. Its important to encourage trust and respect for one another. The two nodded and Yamato took off his mask. He had a normal face. He wore a piece of headgear that surrounded his skull but let his hair out on the top.
"Hello my name is Tenzou, I am usually very friendly, nice to meet you guys," he said to Nel, Albel and Fayt. "Didn't you guys have another companion?"
"Yes, he went ahead to the ship," Fayt replied.
Raikiri took her mask off, and she was a young, attractive lady. "Hi, my name is Risa. I hope to get along well with you guys!" She smiled sweetly. Everyone exchanged greetings and took the chance to formally get to know each other.
Hmm these ANBU guys. Their mood is totally different from before when they were quiet and listened to Kakashi's orders. Nel thought.
"Fayt, everyone, good luck. Cliff explained to me the necessity of a successful mission. The fate of the universe is on the line here. I hope Kakashi and his group will be helpful. And above all keep safe. I don't want to keep rambling so…just a few wise words the Third Hokage, my predecessor and teacher, once taught me. The foolish soldier saves his friends during battle. While a good soldier completes the mission at all costs. Better to be a fool than heartless," she finished.
Fayt nodded, "Thanks for the hospitality Hokage-sama, I'll bring your agents back safely, soon enough." They walked along the road and left the village, they didn't have far to go. He looked back at the Village Hidden in the Leaves. I feel like I'm gonna be back here in the future. I don't think our story with these people is done quite yet.
They reached the ship an hour later, and Cliff had the ship prepped for departure. The citizens of Konoha looked at the technological wonder but did well to hide the intensity of their emotions.
Cliff introduced himself and tried a move on Risa, but was smacked by Nel and told him to get his head out of the rut. Everyone laughed as Cliff jetted the ship out of the atmosphere.
Alright thats all for now folks, stay with me :) R&R!!!
