The next day Valiant and Solaris followed Loki to the stadium where the Chunin exam finals were taking place. They wondered what Loki was doing there, he might have come just to watch the fights, but Solaris doubted it.
Solaris turned to ask Valiant a question when he saw the seat next to him empty.
"What the hell? Damn it I hate it when he does this!"
Solaris got some odd looks from those around him, including a girl who was obvious a Hyuga sitting next to an Inuzuka. He looked around the seats in his area then across the arena. Scanning the area showed no signs of Valiant and Loki had disappeared as well.
Valiant was making his way through the arena seats. Loki had disappeared a short time ago and Valiant couldn't track him, it just proved how good Loki was. He had a bad feeling and it was only growing as time passed. Loki could be running as far away as possible to places no one would be able to track him. So why did he come here? He left Solaris behind knowing he would start his own search, at least as soon as he realised he was alone.
The fights were interesting Solaris thought as he walked around the seats. Turns out both of his sisters were in the finals, Madoka thought some Suna kunoichi who used wind and won. The red haired, blue eyed girl won the match quickly using her speed. Solaris could see the blonde hair and violet eyed sister Hikari standing in the fighter's area and cheering on her sister. Hikari's match was the final fight of the first round; she was also going up against a Suna ninja called Gaara. He just wanted to find Loki and get out of there as fast as possible.
Valiant carefully walked around Mikoto Uchiha. While the perception filter will work on anything without magic, if he was to touch someone his own magic would break the perception filters effects on them, you had to use magic to use the perception filter though. The fights continued and Valiant still had not found any traces of Loki.
It was during the fight between Hikari and Gaara that things started to take off. Just after the match started feathers began to rain from the sky, everyone in the stands was starting to fall asleep. Most of the ninja were able to break out of the genjutsu; Solaris and Valiant were unaffected by the technique and watched as the ninja's started fighting.
"Great we walk right into the middle of an invasion." Valiant muttered face palming. He saw a purple box like barrier appear on the roof above where the Hokage's were sitting. The Hokage, Minato and someone Valiant recognised as Orochimaru the snake Sannin were inside the box. But they weren't the only ones inside the barrier. Standing right beside Orochimaru was Loki, and Valiant pinched the bridge of his nose annoyed.
Solaris made his way next to Valiant and saw him standing there looking annoyed. He saw the purple box in the distance and found why, Loki had allied himself with Orochimaru. "What are we going to do?"
They heard roaring down in the arena and saw demons, evil creatures of magic. They were a complete pain to deal with alone, but not only where there more than one demon but half a dozen tall clawed, red skinned creatures with horns and fire appearing from their mouths with every breath, there claws dripping with some type of poison probably. If that wasn't bad enough there was a small army of zombies and Hollow Men.
"You take care of the creatures; I'll take care of Loki." Valiant told him. Darkness swirled around him swallowing him up before disappearing.
Solaris looked down at the arena below the seating area. He watched as the creatures started to go berserk, the ninja's doing their best to fight against them but failing to do damage. Quickly ripping of his mask, gloves and hat he threw out his arms and launched a wave of red energy daggers. The demons shrugged them off easily but the daggers weren't meant for them. Large portions of the Hollow Men were pierced by the energy daggers causing them to deflate and become useless, but now he had the creature's attentions. He needed to get away from the people here, draw the demons and remaining Hollow Men away. The zombies seemed to be trapped in the arena not able to leave, Valiant must have created a barrier when he left, if those zombies got out things would have went straight to hell.
Even if the zombies were contained that didn't stop them from getting the ninjas that came close to them. If they were lucky there wouldn't be enough left for the poor people to actually come back as a zombie, but Solaris could already see a few ninjas having been turned into zombies. He watched as Sasuke Uchiha and Hikari chased after Gaara who left the arena while Madoka tried to fight the demons, Hollow Men and zombies. If it wasn't for the Kyubi's power she wouldn't have survived, but she was using the Kyubi's power which gave her an appearance like she was made out of golden flames, so she was able to hold her own. She had took out a good amount of Hollow Men and a few zombies, but was doing no damage to the demons as they were pushing her back.
Solaris looked around, only a few ninja's were fighting the creatures, they had to deal with the invading force. Fighting from two sides like this was stretching them to thin. A demon rushed behind Madoka and she turned sensing the creature but even with her Kyubi speed she wouldn't be able to defend in time.
Madoka turned and tried to defend herself but she knew it was too late. She had no idea what the creature would be able to do, she just hoped that it didn't kill her instantly; she would heal thanks to the Kyubi's power as long as it didn't kill her outright. Suddenly a beam of white energy cut through the top half of the demon leaving only the bottom half left. Looking in the direction of the beam she saw someone making their way over to her. This person was blasting back the creatures with blasts of blue energy, waves of shadows and throwing daggers of red energy. The demons surrounded the person but the air around him exploded outwards pushing them away. That's when she got a clear look, and nearly froze.
"It's been a long time hasn't it." Her brother who she hadn't seen in two years said.
