Jail Break –
Tia pushed open the door to the musty tavern and was greeted by din of both music and various patrons enjoying themselves. There were wine and ale barrels ranked along one side, to the right was a vast fireplace in which a whole hog, goose, and half a dozen chickens turned on a spit over a bed of red coals. Equipment and axe slung over her shoulder, Tia entered the establishment. Upon her arrival she could feel everyone else in the building begin to immediately size her up, but confident in both her abilities and her appearance, she marched nonchalantly through. A few catcalls from men and women who seemed to have had a bit too much to drink were quickly silenced with a patented Tia icy stare. She did not frequent taverns too often while on her adventures and she wasn't really looking for any sort of action of that nature at the moment, only to finally be able to eat a hot meal and spend a night on a soft bed.
The Scarlet Rose was a well-to-do bar that was largely successful due to the high influx of adventurers passing through. With Ironmount being a center of trade, the city always had people passing through the city for one thing or another. Tia could see from the various dress of the other patrons that there was a wide range of different places of Metal in this inn. Sitting down at a free table Tia brushed her tangled blond hair aside while readjusting the straps on her battle suit that showed a generous portion of her finely toned body. She was just sitting down at an empty table when she felt someone was standing behind her. Looking around she saw her old classmate Gascogne.
"Gascogne it's been awhile," Tia greeted her old friend.
"Took me awhile to find you," Gascogne said as she sat herself down.
"What for?" Tia ask.
"Lets just say that the royal family is having some problems and the king needs help from his brother," Gascogne said.
"The king's brother?" Tia ask.
"And you're the last person I know who has an idea where he is. Since he left with you after his last visit," Gascogne said. "Since he never stays in one place for long it's always hard to find him."
"Well it was about three weeks ago that we parted ways," Tia said trying to remember. "He said that he was going to stop by one of the Amazon villages." (1)
"Which one?" Gascogne ask.
"We were in the Eastern part of Metal at the time so he might have gone to the Gale Clan since that was the closest one," Tia answers.
"Thanks," Gascogne said as she sat up. "Now I know where to start looking."
"Have fun," Tia said good-bye as she watched her friend leave the tavern.

"You're really going to go and attack the prince of Metal of all people in the heart of the queendom?" Mr. Rictus ask. "This is the reason why you're seen as a greater killer then I am."
"Yes but think of the fun," Butcher said smiling as he feels the old juices flowing again, just like the old days.

Back in Metal -
Hunrok entered his office where the members of Turks were waiting for him. He had just comeback from telling his wife what happen with Naruto. She took the news hard, she wanted to see Naruto, but he told her that he needed sometime alone. He only hope that they'll be able to prove to Naruto that they do love him, not just seeing him as a tool.
"Well all of you must have heard the news already," Hunrok said as the girls had run off to tell the others, he was sure that the maids would tell others while the Killer Bee's would keep it to themselves but with Glycine being Seto's granddaughter and all, knowing Seto it would be all over the city soon.
"He thinks everything that's being done for him is only because he's the only heir to Metal," Tifa said.
"And the personal maids and bodyguards are there only to spy on him," Cloud adds.
"I can understand why he is like this," Quistis said. "He's an important person now, gaining lavish attention from everyone. Compared to before when he was seen and treated as a plague, that everyone wanted dead or gone. So now he has to be cautious on figuring out who wants to just use him or actually be close to him in earnest."
"Which is why he's always so cold to others," Seifer said.
"SAD," Fujin shouts out.
"Yes it is," Paine agrees.
"How are we going to help him ya know?" Raijin ask.
"That's a good question," Hunrok said. "By playing my tricks behind his back to help him in the long run, I made myself be like Sarutobi . Keeping things from him because I think it's for his own good."
"It's going to be a long and hard road to get Naruto to trust you," Reno said.
"I know," Hunrok said. "He's going to need sometime alone before, I can talk to him. I have already ask Gascogne to look for my brother for his help. He always had a way to get people to open up to him."
"That Sand nin with the one tail demon sealed inside of him is going to have it remove from him like Naruto and send it back to the demon world. He's the only one who can relate to the prince. Maybe we can..." Selphie began to say but was cut off by Elena.
"And have him think we're going behind his back again?" she ask. "At this rate he'll be just like his grandmother not trusting anyone around him. And we all know what her rule was like."
"Whenever she felt someone was doing something behind her back she would have them beheaded," Tseng said having research the late queen's reign. "The last thing we need is for that to happen again."
"We're going to have to be careful on how we do things for Naruto from now on," Hunrok said. "Oh yes, I almost forgot. I'm going to take a trip in a few days."
"A trip?" Rude ask.
"Yes it's been a long time since, I have been to the element countries. With the ninja exams going to take place soon in the Leaf Village, I thought that, I should go there and see how things are. And to give my thanks to Sarutobi and the rest of the village, face to face on how they had treated my grandson," Hunrok said with an underlining tone that all the Turks knew that his visit would be anything but a nice one for the village.

A couple of days later in the eastern part of Metal -
"I'm pretty excited, I've never even seen an Amazon before, let alone get to see one of their villages." Iris happily chimed as both she and Gascogne rode to the side of the caravan they were escorting. Gascogne needed to get to eastern Metal and since there was a caravan heading there she and a handful of her soldiers came along to safeguard the traders. "But by judging from any of the stories that my sisters have told us, I've heard that they're incredible!"
The young Praetorian guard let out an excited squeal as she recounted in her mind the many tales that she had heard over the years regarding the exotic beauty of the elusive Amazon tribes. (2) "Have you any experience with Amazons before, Gascogne?" The plucky pony-tailed redhead turned her captain riding next to her with a curious smile.
Gascogne produced an even smile and chuckled a little, thinking about her past encounters with the female warriors. "If you're not careful, Irisa, the hunter could very well become the hunted." Gascogne bemused. "When it comes to Amazons, it isn't as simple, one might bite off more than one can chew."
This only served to pique Irisa's interest even Less and continued to bombard Gascogne with Less questions. "But what are they like? Are they much different from us? They're a very beautiful and sexy race, right?" Irisa finished her last question with the hint of lust in the corner of her eye that Gascogne did not fail to notice.
"Hmm… Yes, it's true that the Amazon people are all very beautiful, like us of our bloodline, they are all extremely pleasing to the eye." Irisa was hanging on every word, eager to learn everything about these almost mythic women. "However, there are two prominent differences between Amazons and us. First of all, they are a noticeably larger than us…"
"Larger…?" Irisa wondered and Gascogne nodded in response,
"Yes, even considering me, they still measure about one and a half to two heads taller than I… They are not merely taller but proportionally bigger than a normal woman, each with a lithe and perfectly sculpted form," she explains.
"Really wow," Irisa said as Gascogne is one of the tallest people she knows.
"They're also very powerful warriors, they're trained when they can stand to be able to fight. Whenever there's a war the Amazons always march to fight and are always found in the middle of the battles. Which is way that they will only mate with men who are strong so that their children will be stronger. There are alot of bloodlines to be found with the Amazons," Gascogne adds.
The caravan stopped at the entrance of the village, its dimensions held to up close scrutiny amazed many of the women who crowded around while Gascogne took Irisa to meet the village's leaders. The village looked quite deserted, but Gascogne figured it was largely due to the fact that many of the villagers were out hunting, foraging, or tending to the fields around the village.
Meanwhile Irisa was ecstatic at the sights and sounds around her as she quickly looked to and fro, trying to absorb as much information as possible. The village was the basis of a semi-nomadic culture with stone and thatched roof dwellings along with a few fields for small-scale agricultural projects. A variety of large trees held a prominent place within the village blending seamlessly with the many of the homes and sporting highly detailed and intricate carvings up their entire trunk. Although previously warned, Irisa was taken aback by the noticeable difference in size that buildings and objects displayed compared to what she was used to. Agricultural tools were slightly too large to be used by someone of Irisa's stature handily while a number of chairs set out were high enough to ensure that her legs would not touch the floor but dangle over the edge instead, like when she was a small girl. Thatched roof huts, decorated with beautiful symbols, were also built in these larger dimensions and proved to make Irisa feel even more petite than she already was. The village was a fair size; Irisa estimated that this clan would consist of about a hundred if the number of buildings were any indication.
"Gascogne!!" was all Irisa heard before a tall figure closed in on their position. Before the usually alert captain could react the dark assailant was upon them and Irisa squeaked out in surprise. In a flash Gascogne was scooped up in a tremendous bear hug, "It's SO GOOD to see you!" shouted an exceptionally large Amazon as the Captain was lifted off of her feet.
Irisa was close to falling on her cute rear due to the shock she just received. The woman that had hugged the Captain and was now laughing and spinning in place with her captive, holding the still cool-headed woman like one might do to a long lost pet. Despite being swung around in the air Gascogne kept her composure, with a warm smile she patted the Amazon on the back, "Yes, yes, it is nice to see you as well".
Irisa could only stare as the excited Amazon released the smaller captain. Just as Gascogne promised the woman in front of them was truly a magnificent creature. Towering nearly three heads over herself, Irisa could only stare at the incredibly beautiful Amazon before them. A short yet wild mane of crimson adorned the woman's head in an unruly manner while her tanned skin was accentuated with a variety of highly stylized markings covering her body. The finely toned and shapely figure of the Amazon was just as Gascogne described, outside of being proportionally larger it was in every way the body of a beautiful and athletic woman. Golden eyes flashed with intensity, framed by a rugged yet regal face that one could gaze upon forever without losing interest. Irisa also appreciated the Amazon's garb, ideally suited for the surrounding arid savannahs and forests, was wonderfully minimal to ward off high temperatures while emphasizing her natural charms. And there were more women behind her coming back from hunting on the plains. All the amazon women were no less then eight feet tall and incredibly muscular.
"What brings you here?" the amazon ask.
"I'm looking for your dad, Lamie," Gascogne stated. "I know that he was around here awhile ago. Do you know where he went?"
"He never left," Lamie smiled as her dad had stayed around saying the he wanted to spend sometime with his girl and his granddaughters as many of the older Amazons had slept with him. In fact many of the women of the village call him father or grandfather. She pointed to where she and the rest of her sisters had come from. The two Delmo woman saw a man on horseback coming into the village.
He was a big, dark heavyset man who rode a big, dark heavyset horse. Over his mail he wore a jacket of wolf hides. The head from a sabertooth skin topped his helm. The beast was posed so its fangs jutted forward instead of dropping down in front of his eyes. He stop his horse in front of the two Praetorians and looked them over.
"Gascogne of the Praetorians. If you're here it means that my brother needs my help again," the man said in a gruff voice.
"Yes that's right," Gasconge said knowing that he never liked being called by his title or as lord. "He needs help with your nepew, prince Naruto."
"Can you comeback with us lord?" Irisa ask.
"Well it is a familly matter," the man said. "And also don't call me lord. Just call me by my name, Howard."

Author's Notes –
1 – After reading the comic Wanted I put him into the story because he's very believable. If someone who has a strong faith and discovers that everything they were told to be true was nothing but false hope for some being who made us in their own image. I could see how they might become a supervillain, as people who had everything that thought to be true will snap if it's something like their faith.
2 - The Amazons are a branch of the Delmo's that broke off before the the Delmo bloodline entered the royal family. They are just as strong as the Delmo's are but instead of being ninjas they're warriors instead. Also the Amazons are much bigger then Delmos too. Like the Delmo's they can only have girls and must seek males from other places. The number of Amazon's are smaller then the Delmo's as the Amazons only mate with powerful warriors. They have a close bond with the Delmo's
