A/N: Well, I have a job now, so I've had less free time to work on this.
Also, I decided to change my mind on who my Snake character will be at the last minute, so I guess you can ignore the part about him waiting to receive orders. I figured that since Sonic and Snake are both non-Nintendo characters, I chose to use characters who aren't quite anime characters for them. You'll see what I mean.
Chapter 12: Retaking the Kaiba Craft Part 1
Aboard the Kaiba Craft 3 in an empty room, the stowaway that's hiding in a cardboard box finally decides to make his move. He lifts up and casts aside the box, revealing himself to be a ten-year old African American boy with an afro and an ever-present angry look on his face.
"Who were you expecting? Samuel L. Jackson?" Huey Freeman said to the readers.
After surveying his surroundings, Huey explores the corridors of the airship carefully, making sure to not be seen by the Masses patrolling the ship. Not too long after beginning his operation, he suddenly hears footsteps coming from behind him. Huey cautiously hides under his box to avoid detection from the oncoming company.
Outside the box, Sasuke and Kaiba rush through the hallway. As they run by the box, however, Sasuke makes a sudden stop.
"Hey! Why are we stopping?" Kaiba demanded.
"Alright, whoever else is in here can come on out now," Sasuke announced loudly.
Huey grows nervous, but he decides to stand his ground. Kaiba, however, soon grows very impatient.
"Stand aside!" he yelled as he steps to the middle of the hallway. He pulls out a card from his deck and raises it high in the air. "I activate Stop Defense, allowing me to switch one face-down monster into Attack Mode!"
The cardboard box gets blown away by nothing, exposing Huey to Sasuke and Kaiba.
"!" Huey jumped in surprise upon realizing that he's been found. He quickly regains composure and gets into a fighter stance.
"Who are you? And what are you doing on my ship!?" Kaiba demanded.
"Me? I'm only the founder of 23 radical leftist organizations, including the Black Revolutionary Organization or B.R.O., Africans Fighting Racism and Oppression or A.F.R.O., and the Black Revolutionary Underground Heroes, or B.R.U.H.," Huey stated. "And I'm here to clean up your mess, Seto Kaiba."
"Well I don't need any help!" Kaiba rebuffed. Sasuke steps in between the two to avoid an escalation.
"Looks like that's going to have to wait," Sasuke informed them as he points to the approaching Mass Monsters coming their way.
"Well, the life of a black hero has never been for the weak of heart," said Huey as he pulls out a katana blade. The young revolutionary wastes no time in cutting down the mob of Masses like butter. Sasuke joins suite and mows down some of the remaining Masses with his own sword. Kaiba finishes the rest of them by throwing cards at them.
"Well, that wasn't so hard," Sasuke bragged, sheathing his sword.
"You know, we all worked well together back there," Huey observed. After pondering about something for a few seconds, he comes to a decision. "All right, it's a bit of a change in plans, but I guess I'll let you guys in on Operation Liberate Japan." He takes a few steps forward before stopping and turning around. "By the way, my name is Huey Freeman."
"I'm Sasu-,"
"Actually, I already know who both of you are," Huey interrupted. "You're Sasuke of the Uchiha Clan and that's Seto Kaiba, the President of KaibaCorp."
They both raise eyebrows at him.
"What? You think it's strange for a black person to watch anime?" Huey stared accusingly at them. The two anime characters shake their heads. "Good".
The newly formed trio runs through corridor to corridor, taking out any enemy they encounter. Eventually, they find themselves in front of a huge door that automatically opens up as they approach.
"Hmm, wonder what's in here?" Sasuke wondered. He walks into the room with Huey following.
"Don't bother going in there," Kaiba tried to warn them. "It's a dead en…whoa!"
Kaiba had just caught sight of two cages hanging from the ceiling, which contained both Chi-Chi and Sakura in their trophy forms.
"S-Sakura!" Sasuke mouthed.
"And that looks like Goku's wife Chi-Chi," Huey added. "We better hurry and get those two down from there."
But before they could do anything, Masses trickle down the chains holding the cages up and engulf the two captives. The Masses then pour onto the floor and form into copies of Chi-Chi and Sakura.
"Clones!" Sasuke deplored.
"Well, at least in this case, we can tell which Chi-Chi is the fake one," Huey said.
Sasuke promptly facepalms. "PLEASE don't mention that movie in front of me! Even I'M embarrassed, and I'm not even a Dragonball character!"
"Ugh, I know how you feel," Kaiba added. "And the worse is yet to come. Apparently, they're now working on a live-action Cowboy Bebop movie with Keanu Reeves as Spike."
Huey and Sasuke both make an audible groan.
"Sadly, it gets worse," Sasuke regretted to inform them. "They're also making a Full Metal Panic movie, and do you want to know who's rumored to be playing Sousuke? ZAC EFRON!!!"
"GODDAMN IT!!!" Huey cursed. "I mean, it's bad enough that Hollywood makes terrible black movies that do nothing but continuously perpetuate negative stereotypes of black people that are nevertheless consumed and internalized in the minds of many impressionable niggas, but do they have to ruin anime too!? After all of this is over, I may need to pay Hollywood a visit."
After getting done with his rant, Huey draws out his sword, ready to take his frustration out on the Masses.
(A/N: The rant you just read does not necessarily reflect my personal views on the subject of Hollywood adapting anime into films. At least not all of it does anyway. I just thought it would be funny.)
Not wasting any more time, the False Chi-Chi charges towards the young revolutionary. Huey swings his sword at his opponent, but the False Chi-Chi blocks the attack…with her bare hand. With the other hand, she slaps Huey in the cheekbone, sending him flying into the nearest wall and causing him to drop his sword.
Meanwhile, Sasuke takes several swaps with his sword at the False Sakura, but she gracefully avoids each slash. The Uchiha then makes a cocky smirk before leaping into the air, just in time to avoid the Duel Monster card that Kaiba threw from behind him. However, the False Sakura catches the card from its trajectory before tearing it in two.
"My card!" Kaiba mourned.
"You idiot! Don't throw cards at them! Use them!" Sasuke berated.
"All right, fine! I will!" Kaiba places a card on his Duel Disk. "I call forth my Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" The hologram of a ferocious white dragon with blue eyes materializes in front of Kaiba.
Sasuke tries to attack the False Sakura from the side while her attention was on the Duel Monster, but she kicks him in the stomach without even turning around. She then frog leaps right over the Blue-Eyes and socks Kaiba right in the jaw, knocking him across the room.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures," said Huey as he puts on a glove that looks similar to a Nintendo Power Glove. Huey forms a fist with his hand and the glove begins to emit electricity. "The Black Power Glove," he announced. "An inexpensive device that delivers thousands of volts of imperialism-stopping-electricity without the need of super powers or secret alien technology."
Huey throws a punch with his Black Power Fist, only for the False Chi-Chi to catch it in her hand and to retaliate with a kick to the stomach strong enough to knock Huey a few feet.
False Chi-Chi slowly advances toward the young conspiracy theorist while False Sakura was likewise edging toward a recovering Kaiba. Sasuke sees his two allies in trouble and uses his faster-than-the-eye-can-see speed to move himself between the two fake fighters. He then stretches his arms out to each side and touches both of them.
"CHIDORI CURRENT!!!"
Sasuke sends jolts of electricity throughout his body, shocking and paralyzing both of his opponents.
"Finish them, now!" the ninja warns Huey and Kaiba before jumping out of blast radius.
"BLUE-EYES WHITE DRAGON!!! WHITE LIGHTNING ATTACK!!!"
The Blue-Eyes spits out a blast of energy directed at the False Sakura. The clone is hit dead on with the attack, leaving only charred remains.
Huey does a sweeping kick, knocking the False Chi-Chi on her back. He then jumps high into the air and hammers his Black Power Fist into her stomach hard, frying the copy until it dissolves.
"Hey! You stole that technique from me!" Sasuke complained. "That move was exactly like my Chidori!"
"So? You do nothing but steal other people's moves!" Huey argued.
"Touché," Sasuke admitted.
"Well, all of that was a complete waste of my time! Now I say we get back to reclaiming my ship!" said Kaiba as he walked out of the room.
"And I can't let anyone from the Leaf Village know where I am. Do you think you can handle things from here yourself?" Sasuke asked Huey.
"Don't worry about me. This will only take a sec," the ten-year-old reassured him.
With a nod of acknowledgment, Sasuke leaves Huey to his task. Huey pulls out an airsoft gun from his pocket and shoots the chains holding up the cages. The cages break upon impact with the floor, which somehow instantly revives Chi-Chi and Sakura.
"Oh, thank Kami I can finally move again!" Chi-Chi praised. "I have cramps from being in trophy form since Chapter 1!"
Sakura blinks as she takes a look at their rescuer. "Are you from the Hidden Cloud Village?"
"No," Huey replied simply. "Anyway, you two are currently onboard the Kaiba Craft. My accomplices and I are currently fighting to regain control of the ship. Speaking of which, I need to catch up to them," he quickly explained the situation. Huey takes a couple of steps before turning back around. "Oh, and you two better stay in here while we take care of things."
And with that, the ten-year-old radical runs out of the room, leaving the two ladies behind.
Sakura starts heading for the door right behind Huey.
"Hey, wait!" yelled Chi-Chi. "He just told us to…"
"Sorry, but I just can't sit on the sidelines anymore," Sakura stopped to explain. "When I first became a ninja, I didn't take my training seriously and all I ever did was fangirl around Sasuke. Even worse, I constantly nagged on Naruto for being the worst student in our class. However, as both Naruto and Sasuke got stronger, I began to realize that I was the real dead weight of the team, and the more time went on, the worse I looked compared to them. When the Sound and Sand Villages jointly attacked the Leaf, all I accomplished was becoming a damsel-in-distress that had to be rescued by Naruto. After that, I was completely helpless to stop Sasuke from leaving the village, and I begged Naruto to bring him back because I was too weak to do it myself. I decided to start training with Tsunade after that so that I would never have to be that weak little girl that's a burden to everyone else ever again."
"I know how you feel," Chi-Chi sympathized. "I don't like sitting at home worrying while my husband and sons are out fighting, but those creeps they fight are so absurdly strong that I they could kill me just by breathing on me." She lowers her head in shame, but after a few seconds, she suddenly flares with passion and determination. "You know what, kid? Count me in! Let's show these men that we can be useful too!"
"Just a sec, though. I've been working on a new jutsu, and right now is a good time to test it out," said Sakura. She performs a few hand signs, and a poof of smoke appears and covers her body. When the smoke clears, Chi-Chi does a double take upon what she sees.
"Uh, Sakura? Are you okay?"
"HELL YEAH I'M OKAY! WHY WOULDN'T I BE OKAY!? SHANNARO!!!" Sakura replied, though she looks different, namely that her body is now just a white outline of herself with Japanese symbols imprinted on her forehead.
The metal doors open and Inner Sakura cautiously steps out of the room, with Chi-Chi right behind her. They both peer out of an open door that leads outside.
"If we go out there, we should be able to get to the top of the ship. But if we fall off…well, let's just say that its times like this where I really wish I learned how to fly," said Chi-Chi weighting their options. "So, should we risk it?"
"HELL YES!!!" Inner Sakura answered.
