NEW ENEMIES AND A BLOODY DAWN!

Normal POV

Chapter...BEGIN!

Aaron woke up to a knock at his door early in the dawn. The sky was the color of blood, and it would've scared some had they woken up with him.

'Who could that be?' He wondered in his mind. The knock came again, this time, more pressed than a usual visitor's would be. So he groggily got out of bed and trudged to the door, mumbling something about "Fate getting his comeuppance". He swung the door open lazily, and there stood Tsunade holding a scroll.

"Tsunade?" He asked with one eye half open. She nodded nervously.

"Why're you here?" Aaron asked her.

"We received a message for you." She told him, her eyes having traces of a frightened look.

"So?"

"You need to read it. It's really important."

"Why?"

"No one has read it yet, but we found it sitting in a small pool of blood, addressed to you." His eyes widened, but he nodded. She handed him the scroll and started to run away.

"Wait, where are you going?" He asked.

"Back to my duties." With that, she ran away, giving him no time to ask any further. He opened the scroll and read the grim message that lay on it.

Hello, Illyon.

He froze. Only enemies called him by his god name. And it was pronounced with such venom that he could practically see it oozing off the parchment.

We have seen what has been going on lately, and have a...test...for you, so to speak. We hope you will enjoy the fact that we have taken your beloved. We sincerely hope you like the surprise.

~The Ageul (1)

His eyes remained wide for a few seconds as he read the signature. But then, they changed to a shade of black so cold that ice would have been humbled by it. Then came the fury and anger that lay inside them, melting the cold and bursting out of him. His entire body became outlined with a single, thin, gold line. Then it spread, creating a flaring aura around him. His hair whipped about, his power creating gales of wind around. Then ground beneath him began to form a huge crater. Gathering all his rage, it bunched up. And there was only one place for it to go; out. He let out a primal roar, and thunder and lightning clapped down in the skies. People ran out of their homes, and saw him standing outside of his house, screaming in rage. A massive lightning bolt touched down, and lit a house on fire, destroying some of it. Luckily, its residents were already outside, watching as Aaron's fury swarmed all over. He flew towards the Hokage Tower and broke through the wall, shocking Tsunade.

"I'm going somewhere. They took Anko, and I'm going to get my revenge." Then he flew off, not wanting to hear her response. She called two ANBU in.

"Get Rishi Uzumaki and Maya Hyuga here RIGHT NOW!" She yelled. They saluted, and shunshined to the two's houses. Within moments, they were back with Aaron's best friends.

"Gather any shinobi you need and get Aaron back!" May and Rich nodded and ran out the door.

Forest

Aaron landed down next to Hansuke.

"What's up?"

"I need you to come with me. The Ageul captured Anko." Hansuke's eyes widened. Then they narrowed in anger.

"They're going to pay for hurting my best friend's girlfriend." He cracked his knuckles. They both tried to take off, but found they couldn't move.

"Shadow possession success." Shikamaru's lazy voice said. Aaron growled, and his eyes glowed red this time.

"Aaron, why the HELL are you running away when the village is being destroyed?" Rich asked.

"I am not running away! They took her, and I'm going after them!" He exclaimed in a deep voice. Rich and May both winced a little at his tone.

"Who's they?" May asked.

"The creatures I hate as much as my father!" He spat.

"What creatures?" Rich asked. He made a face of disgust when he thought of them.

"I believe he means the Ageul." Came Endor's voice from behind them. A tall man walked forward. He had grey eyes, fairly tan skin, and hair the color of blood. Maroon tresses fell all over his face, framing it in a sort of peculiar way.

"Who're you? And who's the Ageul?" May asked.

"May, I'm hurt that you wouldn't even recognize your own dragon!" Endor joked.

"Endor?" May asked. He nodded.

"That is his avatar. Every dragon can change to the form of a human to disguise themselves and such." Aaron explained. She made an expression of understanding.

"And as for your question to who the Ageul are, they are filthy creatures who spite my race, and DESERVE TO DIE!"

"What do you mean 'they deserve to die'?" Rich asked.

"They have slaughtered thousands, if not MILLIONS of my people! We have been at war for centuries, and even though they are an intelligent race, they are stupid to take a loved one from a god!" He told them.

"What do they look like?" Aaron closed his eyes, and an image wavered to life in front of them. It depicted a horrific looking creature reminiscent of a troll. The image faded after they studied it, and Aaron said,

"Hansuke and I are going to get Anko back. Do not follow me, for the Ageul will kill each of you in one swift blow. Goodbye for now." With that, he and Hansuke faded into nothing. They stared for a moment, and then Rich punched a tree and shouted,

"DAMN IT!" The tree snapped in half.

3 miles away from there

Aaron and Hansuke appeared at the top of a hill.

"So how are we going to find them?" Hansuke asked.

"I just have to find Anko's energy." He told his friend. He placed two fingers onto his forehead.

"What are you doing?" Hansuke asked him.

"If I can do this right, we should be able to warp directly to where Anko is." He closed his eyes and focused his mind. Then he opened them quickly.

"I've got her energy. Grab my hand." He held his right hand out, and Hansuke took it. The two wavered, then disappeared with a loud "WHOOSH!"

Secret Base

Anko was chained to the wall, and she was mad.

"Let me go!" Anko raged. A person that looked like a disfigured troll walked up to her.

"Ah, but not yet, my lovely. We have to wait for your lover to get here first." He said, holding her chin up with a clawed finger. She spat on his face, and he growled.

"You are lucky we haven't killed you yet. I suggest you do not try your luck." Suddenly, Aaron and Hansuke appeared in the middle of the room.

"Aaron!" Anko shouted. Aaron scowled at the troll who was next to her.

"Let her go, Zhib'rec." He ordered.

"But why? We were having so much fun." He licked the side of her face, making her shiver in disgust, and making Aaron seethe.

"You'll have to play our little game first." Zhib'rec said. Aaron growled, but surrendered.

"Fine. But she is left untouched." He told Zhib'rec.

"We'll have to see." Suddenly, Aaron's hands were forced behind him, and he was handcuffed.

"Hey, what the hell?" He cried out. Hansuke tried to Aaron's assailant, but he too was handcuffed, and then was pushed against the wall.

"Now you cannot use your powers. The game will commence." Aaron was then pushed onto the ground, and the room began to shake. Suddenly, nearly a dozen boulders fell from the ceiling and fell onto Aaron.

"Aaron!" Hansuke and Anko both cried out. Zhib'rec laughed evilly.

"Let's see how long you can last while we...attend to your beloved." He laughed again. Hansuke and Aaron both tried to break out of their bonds, but found they couldn't.

"Those bonds cut off your energy. Only an ungodly amount of energy can break them!" Zhib'rec said snobbishly. He pulled out a dagger and held it against Anko's throat.

"You have half a minute to get out of there before her throat is slashed. I suggest you hurry~" He said as if it were a game. Aaron kept struggling. It was so hard!

"Fifteen seconds~" He still kept struggling.

'Dammit! Why the hell does this always happen to me?' He asked himself.

"10, 9, 8, 7..." The final countdown was beginning. His eyes widened. He wouldn't be able to make it! But he had to try!

"4, 3, 2, 1..."

"NO!" He cried out. The dagger moved across Anko's throat. Her eyes widened as well, then began closing as her entire world began fading away. He growled loudly. Zhib'rec turned around and began walking away with a happy whistle. The ground began shaking. So he stopped and looked back in fear. Light began shining through the cracks of the pile of boulders. Suddenly, it intensified, and a massive explosion occurred. When the smoke vanished, Aaron was standing on the ground, his hair longer and ablaze, a golden aura around him, and pupil-less eyes that promised death and pain.

"You DARE to harm her! You shall spend an eternity in hell for doing such a thing!" Aaron shouted in his godly voice. He held his hands forward. Tendrils made of light shot out of the ground and wrapped themselves tightly around each troll's throat. They began to beg and scream.

"Please! We-ACK! We're so-sorry!" Zhib'rec pleaded.

"It is too late! Your fate was sealed the moment you took her!"

"We're-ACK!-*cough*-*cough*-SORRY, AARON!"

"You do not even deserve to call me that! I am Illyon, god of the sun, vanquisher of the dark, brother of the Moon, and the man by which your death will come painfully!" Aaron roared. Ten tendrils appeared for every man and plunged themselves into their bodies, ripping bloody gashes and holes, and burning their insides.

"Hansuke, grab her and get out of here! I will meet you in Konoha!" Hansuke nodded and grabbed Anko. He held two fingers to his forehead and disappeared. Aaron let out another primal roar. Pieces of earth began floating upwards at the feeling of his power. He slammed his palm into the ground, and the entire base was bathed in a deadly light.
