Uzumaki's Wrath
Chapter 10
As the group walked, they neared the great wall of Ba Sing Se. That is when Naruto felt Aang's presence and said, "OK…shouldn't he be trying to find Appa?" That made the group look up with him…well except for Toph.
"Aang! What are you doing here? I thought you were looking for Appa." Katara said.
"I was, but something stopped me." The bald avatar replied in all seriousness. "Something big?"
"This I got to see." Naruto said while Kyuubi woke up.
"Well…if it is big, we could just use our Golden Fox form and destroy it."
"Um, I am not sure you guys would be big enough since I have never seen your Golden Fox form." Aang replied.
"Oh this should be good." The fox said.
XXX
The group made their way to right next to the wall and Aang and Toph were about to raise the group so that they could all go over the wall, Naruto decided that he should do it. "Aren't you going to need help?" asked Toph with a bit of concern because she knew that if one tried to do something big on their own, something bad would happen.
"Nah…I have enough energy to get us up there." Naruto said happily, making the blind girl chuckle a bit. "Now just hold on tight."
"To what!" Sokka shouted before Naruto stomped on the ground, making it crack around them. Then, without a lot of movement, he lifted the rock they were on with his upward swing of his fingers. With that, they shot up to the top of the wall.
"So what is so big that Appa has to wait?" Sokka asked.
"That." Aang stated as he pointed to a large metal construct that looked like a worm of sorts with small car like constructs followed it.
"We made it is Ba Sing Se and we are still not safe. No one is!" Ying cried as she held her baby.
"What are you people doing here?" asked a guard. "Civilians are not allowed on the wall!"
Aang looked at the guards with a serious expression. "I am the Avatar, take me to whoever is in charge." He ordered.
XXX
"It is an honor to meet you here on the outer water young Avatar, but your help is not needed. And neither is yours, Golden Fox." The old leader replied with a smile.
"Not needed?" Aang asked.
"Not needed." the man smiled. "I have the situation under control. I assure you the Fire Nation cannot not penetrate this wall. Many have tried to break through, none have succeeded."
"What about the Dragon of the West?" Toph asked, making man's eyes widen. 'He got in."
"W-well, technically yes, but he was quickly expunged. I swear, the Golden Fox made that same comment the first time he came here!" The man ranted, making the blond chuckle. "Never the less, that's why city is called Ba Sing Se. It's the impenetrable city! They don't call it Na Sing Se….that means penetrable city."
"No duh, thanks for that lesson in something we already knew." deadpanned Kyuubi.
"Ugh, please just shut up Kyuubi." The man sighed. "Seriously, I don't know how you put up with this old spirit, Naruto."
"Eh, I am used to it." Naruto said, "But we still got the drill problem."
"Not for long my friend." The man said as he looked over the wall to the ground below. "To stop it, I have sent an elite platoon of earth benders called the Terra Team!"
"That's a good group name." Sokka said with a smile. "Very catchy." For once, Kyuubi didn't comment.
"Hey wait a second." Toph said, "So you have been to Ba Sing Se as well?"
"Heh, yeah, but only up to the wall. I didn't feel like going into the city, so I just helped the old guy out by defending the wall from Fire Nation attacks."
"And he was good at what he did." The old man said a she watch the ground.
"Sweet!" Toph said with a smirk.
While that was going on, the others where listening and watching how the earth benders where doing. It seemed that the Terra Team was doing ok until the gang saw two of the girls that were chasing them before and probably still are. Mai and Ty Lee. In a matter seconds, the two girls took down the Terra Team like it was nothing and with Ty Lee take out more that her friend.
The old general, looking through his telescope, stared at the scene in horror. "WE'RE DOOMED!" But Naruto seemed to be sweating when he saw the girl in pink. It was something that Katara picked up on.
Sokka smacked him and said, "Get a hold of yourself!"
"Yeah! Quit panicking every time something goes wrong!" Kyuubi growled.
"You're right, I am sorry." The man said.
"Maybe you would like the Avatar and the Golden Fox's help now?" Toph said with a smirk.
The man walked right up to Aang and Naruto and bowed. "Yes please," He said weakly.
XXX
"So the question is, how are we going to stop that thing?" Aang asked his friends as they stared at the strange worm like device that was heading for the Wall. As one, they all stared at Sokka, even Kyuubi.
"Why are you all looking at me?" He asked.
"You're the idea guy." Aang answered.
"So I am the only one to ever come up with a plan?" Sokka whined. "That's a lot of pressure!"
"And also the complaining guy." Katara teased.
"That part I don't mind." Sokka said truthfully.
"But I guess it would be true." Naruto said, "I mean I just usually charge in there and destroy everything."
"No grace at all. Just like a bull in an antique store." Kyuubi commented before they went down to the infirmary of the wall.
XXX
"What is wrong with him." asked the general of the wall as Katara used her water bending to see what was wrong. "He doesn't look injured."
"His chi is blocked." Katara said, getting the blond's attention. "Who did this to you?"
The weak man looked at Katara and said, "Two girls ambushed us, one of them hit me with a couple of quick jabs and suddenly I couldn't earth bend and I could barely move. Then she cartwheeled away."
"Ty Lee…" Katara confirmed.
When she said this, Kyuubi sweatdropped and looked to his blond friend to see that he had a shadow covering his eyes with a 'oh shit' grin on his face. Yeah…someday has some explaining to do.
"She doesn't look dangerous, but she knows the human body and its weak points." She then sighed. "It's like she takes you down from the inside."
"OH! OH! OH! Sokka said suddenly like a little kid.
"Yes?" Katara asked.
"What you just said! That's how we are going to take down the drill, that's the same way Ty Lee took down all these big earth benders."
"By hitting its pressure points!" Toph said happily.
"MY god! Sokka actually used his brain!" Kyuubi cheered, making them laugh.
"Yeah, that is a brilliant idea, Sokka." Naruto agreed.
"Right, we'll take it down from the inside!" Aang said with determination.
"Yeah, but before that, you should help these guys recover faster." Kyuubi interjected.
"How?" asked Katara.
"The same way I helped Sokka the first time we met." Naruto said. "By use of the Gentle Fist."
"Oh right!" Sokka said, just remembering.
XXX
Sokka decided to stay behind on this one because he didn't feel like being useless again because of that Ty Lee girl. Seriously, he had only one leg that he could stand on last time! It was better that Naruto go in his place in case they did run into Ty Lee.
Right now they were near a trench getting ready for the assault. "Once I whip up some cover, you won't be able to see. So stay close to me." Toph said as she used earth bending to create a large dust cloud.
XXX
"Hey, look at that dust cloud." Ty Lee said as she looked through her telescope. "It's so…poofy!" She made an exploding gesture with her hand, 'Poof!"
"Don't worry princess." The war minister said. "I am sure it is nothing." However, Azula eyed the cloud of dust warily. Ty Lee, however, felt that something was up as she felt something. It was the same feeling that she felt when he was with her.
XXX
The group made their way through the cloud of dust with easy thanks to Toph and Naruto. Soon, however, Toph made a hole in the ground so that they could tunnel their way under it. "Everyone into the hole!" She said as they all jumped in and it closed up after them.
"Man! It's so dark down here, I can't even see my paws!" Kyuubi whined.
"Oh no! What a nightmare!" Toph said sarcastically .
That made Kyuubi groan. "Why do you and Naruto always saw the same damn thing."
"Because you set yourself up for it." Naruto answered.
"Awe who asked you!" Kyuubi shot back in the darkness.
A few minutes later, they were above ground again, but they were directly under the large machine, where they found a small opening in it. Aang and Momo quickly flew in while Naruto used earth bending to get Katara in. "You coming?" Naruto asked his girl friend.
"No way I am getting in that metal monster. I can't bend in there. I'll try to slow it down out here." She replied.
"Just be careful for me." Naruto said.
"You got it!" she said with a goofy thumbs up, making the blond chuckle.
XXX
"Know, if we are going to do this, we need to get some schematics of this place. That why we know its weak points." Naruto said.
"Good idea, Naruto." Katara said.
"Yeah, but where are we going to get something like that?" Aang asked.
"Simple." Naruto said as he took out his claws and slashed off the handle to a valve, making it spray out mist…or steam.
"What are you doing!" Aang said in a panic. "Someone is going to hear us!"
"And that's the point." Naruto said with a smile. "A machine this big has to have some problems every now and then, so they have maintence people to come a fix it."
"Wow…that is a good idea!" Aang said.
"Wait, I thought that you didn't make plans." Katara said.
"The fool doesn't, but he is good at thinking on his feet." Kyuubi said, a bit bored.
A few minutes later, someone did come to check on what went wrong, some muscle guy in a strange mask. As he stared at the problem, he barely noticed Katara was making the mist freeze and froze him in place. Naruto then casually walked up to the frozen man and said, "I'll be taking these, thank you very much!" He took the schematics and then ran away.
"Well, that was rather easy." Naruto said with a bright smile, making Katara blush a bit. He put the schematics on a pipe before looking at it. "Well…it looks like this place is made of two main structures. There is the inner mechanism where we are now and the outer shell. Hmm…I think if we cut the braces that connect the two, we can make it collapse in on itself.
The two nodded before they rushed off to said location.
XXX
Naruto sweat dropped when he saw the size and thickness of the braces that connected the two structures together. "You guys sure you can cut these with water bending?"
"Yeah, I think we can do it." Katara said.
"It will take a awhile, but I am sure we can." Aang said with a smile.
"Good." Naruto said, "And I I'll help with a little gravity bending to speed it along." He then paused and said, "If Sokka was here, I think he say something about us being Team Avatar!"
"Nah….doesn't sound all that original." Aang said.
"Yeah I figured as much." Naruto said with a shrug.
"Meh…just let the idiot come up with it, I am sure he can figure out a good name for our group." Kyuubi said as Katara and Aang began work on cutting the large braces.
When they were more than half way there, they had to take a break because it was tiring and he did not blame them. As they rested, Naruto looked around at all the other braces and scowled. This was going to take forever! He then thought about it for a while and smiled, seems that Toph was right about something and this was it. Let's just hope that Aang got it as well and soon.
Once the brace was cut clean through, it slide, making a screeching noise before stopping half way through. Curious, Naruto used Gravity Bending to move it more and it slide off all the way, but that was it. It was bent at an odd angle, but nothing really happened until they heard shacking.
They were about to get the hell out of there, thinking that had done it, but then the captain's voice sounded throughout the place. "Congratulations crew, the drill has made contact with the wall of Ba Sing Se. Start the countdown to victory!" With that, loud cheers could be heard throughout the whole drill.
"Ugh! I thought we had it." Aang said, before he fell on his ass. "I how much more I can take!"
"This is bad!" Katara said.
"Meh, think of another solution then." Kyuubi suggested.
Aang thought about and when he looked at Naruto, his eyes lighted up. "Maybe we don'y need to cut all the way through! You and Toph have been teaching me that you should not put 100 percent of your energy into one attack."
"Correct, otherwise, you will lose energy quicker." Naruto commented. "Took you longer that I thought to figure that out."
"Yeah, I was more focused on getting this one to budge that I was not thinking straight." Aang said, "So like what Ty Lee does, we have to do a series of strikes to take this place down!"
"Yep and when we have enough we will go back out side to deliver the final blow." Naruto said with a smirk.
"Right. Everyone inside that wall, the whole world is counting on us."
"Geez, no pressure, right." Kyuubi chuckled.
A few minutes later…after mostly all the braces have large cuts into them.
"Great, you two are doing great." Naruto said with his hat on his back and his coat open. Seriously, it was frickin' hot in there. Wait. Hot?
He ducked just in time for a ball of blue fire to pass over him. "Holy crap that was close!"
"Wow Azula, you were right! It is the Avatar." Ty Lee said happily before her attention went to the blond. "Naruto?"
"H-hey Ty Lee, long time no see." Naruto said with a nervous smile.
Azula glared at the blond when she saw his clothes. "So Naruto, you broke Ty Lee's heart because you are the Golden Fox….bad mistake!" Azula shouted. She may seem mea, but Ty lee was still her friend and friend help out each other.
"Hey Hey, can't we all just talk this over?" Naruto said with a scared look.
"Wait, Ty Lee was the one that saved you heart?" Katara said with shock.
"Yeah…" Naruto said nervously.
"Well…I don't know how Toph will take that but if she did that she can't be all that bad, but I am not taking chances!" Katara said with a glare to the circus girl, who only stared at Naruto in shock.
"You said that your cover had been blown. We were together for three weeks and then you break it up because you were the GOLDEN FOX!" Ty Lee shouted.
"Um…yes. I met Azula that day and well I thought she was on to me, so I had to get the hell out of there." Naruto said in all honesty.
"Then what about the time you stepped in to save the water tribe people! You pushed us…me away like you didn't care!" Ty Lee shouted with tears in her eyes.
"Yeah about that, I had my hat on, so I could not see normally. I was using Earth Bending to see. And I was just being flirty as well." Naruto said.
Ty Lee let the tears roll down her face. Naruto had been her first love and then he ups and disappears! Now she find out he is an earth bender and the Golden Fox….it was just too much. "I loved you."
That comment made the blond frown with guilt. "I am sorry it had to be this way." Naruto said quietly.
"Enough of this!" Azula angrily shouted at the blond and lunged at him, forget the Avatar at the moment, with Mai and Ty Lee not far behind.
"Ah….crap. Feminine Fury! That is never good, especially from three girls!" Naruto said in a panic as he and the others dodged. Naruto then sent out a massive wave of gravity at them, to buy his group some time.
As the group ran through the hallways, they came upon a split in the road. Aang looked his friends and said, "Guy, get out of here. I know what I need to do."
"Then take this. You need this water more than I do." Katara said as she tossed him her water satchel.
"Thanks! Oh and don't get killed Naruto!" Aang said as he ran in one direction while they ran in another.
"Smartass little…" Naruto grumbled under his breath.
"You kind of had that coming." Katara said with a chuckle.
"Yeah yeah." Naruto said as they ran, only to find a dead end with a valve that lead to some sewer like hole. "oh joy." The a few unique kunai embedded themselves in the floor next to him.
"Well it is either that or you face their wrath." Katara said as she jumped in.
"Hmm…murky sewer water or face righteous feminine fury." Naruto said, weighing his options.
"I think that is an easy answer!' Kyyubi shouted as he jumped in after Katara, with Naruto not far behind.
"Ugh! Disguesting!" Mai shivered as she saw down the hole.
"Come on!" Ty Lee said. "You heard Azula, we have to follow them!"
"She can shoot all the lightning she wants at me, I am not going in that wall sludge juice! Besides, this is your fight."
Ty Lee nodded before jumping in after them, idly wondering if that water bender was his new girlfriend.
XXX
Naruto, Katara and Kyuubi screamed as they rode the high tides of the earth juice out of the rig.
"Ugh..that was a bit nasty!" Naruto complained.
"I know! My perfect red fur is ruined!" Kyuubi cried like a little kid.
"That is the least of your worries!" Katara interjected as they saw Ty Lee coming at them with a devious smirk….mostly directed at Naruto. Thankfully, Katara used water bending the make the sludge go back up, trapping Ty Lee. "Why don't you try blocking my chi now, circus freak."
"Shut up you bitch!" yelled a normally happy Ty Lee but she was pissed at the moment. "You probably stone him from me!"
"Nah…we are just friends." Naruto said with a straight face.
Ty lee said glared at her old boyfriend before that look turned sad. Naruto saw this and continued. "I can't be with you because you are Fire Nation and I hate Fire Nation with a passion, but just so you know, I did love you as well. You save me after all." He paused. "Besides, I am the Golden Fox."
Before she could retort, Naruto leapt above the rip, intent on helping Aang. "I am sure you got this Katara."
"Oh sure, just leave me alone like that." Katara dead panned.
"So…." came the voice of Toph as she walked up to them. I gues this Ty Lee is the circus girl that saved Naruto's Heart."
"That would be her….which is a big surprise." Katara said. 'Want to help me get rid of her?"
Toph nodded before she 'looked' at Ty Lee and said, "Before I send you away…I want to thank you for saving his heart."
Ty Lee narrowed her eyes on the girl before she saw that the girl was blind. 'So you're Toph huh? Naruto did talk a lot about you."
"Good." Toph said with a smile as she got into an earth bending stance. "Oh and just so you know, he is MY man now!" That made the circus girl's eyes widen before the combined powers of Toph and Katara sent her packing back into the rig.
Katara looked at Top and thought, For now….unless…
XXX
Just as Aang was about done cutting a deep X into the outer shell of the drill with water bending, he was interrupted by Azula's fire. "Momo, get out of here! Go to Sokka!" The flying lemur chattered before taking off.
"Aang, don't worry about her, just worry about making this thing collapse!' Naruto shouted as he jumped down in between them. Aang nodded before he got back to work.
Azula glared at the blond and said, "I will enjoy taking you out."
"Sorry, but I am not interested." came Naruto's smart ass remark.
Azula growled at that. "You caused pain to one of my friends and you are a threat to the Fire Nation, Golden Fox."
"Oh?" Naruto said, "So you think you can take me!"
"I can take anyone." Azula said before she sent a blast off fire his way.
Naruto easily ducked the fire blast before he brought his arms up and earth tried to strike at her as she lunged at him. It knocked her for a loop but she quickly recovered and got back up. "Ah…got love earth bending."
So he can earth bend….but what was that other power he used to knock us back? I know it was not air bending. Azula thought.
"Oh and I know you are going to love my Gravity Bending." He shouted as he punched his fists at her.
"Gravity wha-" Azula started to say before the wind was knocked out of her and she was sent back even more. She coughed hard, trying to regain her breath. "The hell was that?" Whatever it was, it pissed it her off! She quickly got in a weird stance and made wide arcs as Naruto was charging her. That was she needed to know as she sent a bolt of lightning at him.
Naruto stopped as he saw the attack. It came right at him, but he just stood there before he brought up one of his claws just as it was about to him.
Azula stared it shock as he just took the attack like it was nothing as it disappated from the steel claws he was wearing. "What the…"
"Seriously. You can lightning bend too? But if that is all you have…then you lose." Naruto said.
TOO? Azula thought as he bent some lighting around his arm and it made a loud chirping sound.
"Here, let me show you how to really bend lightning! Chidori!" Naruto shouted as he charged at her, however, he gained tunnel vision and that was all Azula needed as she quickly side stepped the attack with a gob smacked look on her face.
Naruto stopped a few yards a away before he shook his head. "Ugh…forgot about the tunnel vision." He then saw all the lose earth that was just lying about on the drill and smirked. He used it to trap the Fire Nation Princess. He then saw that Aang was done and was running up the wall. He saw the earth nail in the spot that he was cutting and knew what was about to happen.
"Well Princess, it was fun. If you were not part of the Fire Nation, I might have considered your offer." He joked around. "I mena you are a very beautiful girl, but alas, you are par to the nation that I hate. Ta Ta!"
At first Azula blush at the remark and something in her must have been how Naruto got Ty Lee and for some reason, it was getting to her as well. The she saw him rise off the drill like he was the lightest person in the universe. He broke from her stare to see what Aang was about to and eyes widened to dinner plate. "Oh….SHIT!" Aang landed, pushing the earth nail in so hard that it created a massive shock wave that blasted her back so far that he landed on the opposite end of the drill.
Katara and Toph saw this and knew what was about to happen so they quickly made their exit. Ty Lee shot out a second later and landed right on top the Fire Nation Princess, with the earth sludge flowing around them. Some of it even shot out of every crack in the rig, making it unusable.
A hatch opened up near the two Fire Nation girls and Mai was seen. "We lost." She said dully.
Up on the wall, the sludge had reach them with it shot out of the rig and a lot were covered in it.
In the air, Naruto floated while Aang with flying around him along with Momo. He spotted Katara and Toph on the side of the rig and said, "Aang, get to the girls and tell them to get back from the drill."
"Why?"
"Because, this drill has to get out wall somehow and before someone makes a sex joke about it." Naruto said with a chuckle while Aang blushed a bit. "And to do so, you will get to see the power of the Golden Fox."
Aang's eyes widened before he nodded and flew to the others.
Kyuubi looked at Naruto and said, "You sure about this?"
"Yep, I know it will taste bad, but it has to be done."
"That is not what I mean."
"I know." Naruto replied with a smile, as Kyuubi growled. Naruto turned his head to see that Aang and the others where far enough from the drill, it was time to once again, show the world the power of the Golden Fox! Kyuubi from a top Naruto head before he and Naruto fused in a column of golden fire.
Mai, who was now out of the rig and standing by the two Fire Nation girls, looked in shock along with her friends at the column of golden fire. However the shock didn't end there. When the fire dissipated, a golden fox, almost the size of the wall, stood among them before it roared to the sky, scaring the earth benders on the wall shitless.
Sokka stared at the giant fox in awe. "Incredible!"
With her vision, Toph stared in shock that Naruto could be something that was this HUGE! For Aang and Katara, their jaws where on the ground. Aang did wonder if this beast was on par with the Avatar State.
Ty Lee stared at the beast and sighed. So this was the reason he left her. She knew about what almost killed his heart and he said something about being a monster. She never saw a monster, just a good person grieving over loved ones. Looking at the giant golden fox, she still felt the same. Sure he was with the earth bender, but maybe, just maybe, he could love her too.
Azula stared in shock at the beast. So this was the infamous Golden Fox form that scares the Fire Nation shitless. Such power! She smirked with a small blush.
The Golden Fox then looked down at the machine with distaste before it chomped down on it middle and ripped it out of the hole and flung it a good half mile away, not caring if anyone died. The fox then looked at the hole that was made by the drill and roar once more, but this time, magma shot out, repairing the damage.
Seeing that the job was done, the fox looked up and it was engulfed in the golden flames once more. Everyone stared in shock and awe as it shrunk down to reveal Naruto and Kyuubi once more.
Now…everyone knew of the power of the Golden Fox.
