Seizing the opportunity, Sasuke and Naruto thrusted their bounded hands at the Night Slash, the threads tearing apart.
"OH CRAP!" Zorua had realized his error albeit being too late; the ninjas were already freed from the silk.
The Uzumaki crossed his arms. "We were waiting for that!"
"BUT HOW?!" The 'frog' screamed, shocked beyond belief.
The Uchiha smiled smugly. "I believe you said this: 'that String Shot is so powerful that only the creator can break it'." His smirk widened as realization dawned on his foe. "You're the creator, aren't you?"
"No way...you tricked me into attacking for that purpose." The shifter was in a state of utmost disbelief.
Axel shook his head. "They tricked the trickster, huh?"
"That's amazing." Roxas awed.
Zoroark growled, nearly leaping out of her seat. "Those brats! Using my son like that!"
"Now now; the battle isn't over yet!" The assassin reassured, attempting to placate the enraged mother.
The samurai was quick to join. "He's right you know!"
"...Fine." The Nobodies sighed in relief as crisis was averted.
Once Tsutaaja had managed to take out all of the clones, she huffed at what had just occurred. "What a mistake; now this battle just got a lot harder for us."
"I'm sorry..." The metamorphose was ashamed of himself.
The serpent's features softened as she realized how harsh she had been. "I didn't mean to make you feel bad. Don't be too hard on yourself." She continued at the surprised expression she received. "After all, this is a test of skill; in order for those two to display their full potential, they can no longer be limited even if the chance of us winning has decreased. Besides, it shows how clever they can be." She shrugged. "We have to be more careful from now on."
"We have to be more careful too!" The blond exclaimed, directing that to his partner. "I was like 'NOT AGAIN' when we were trapped together...again."
The 'amphibian' quirked a brow. "What does he mean by that?"
"If I remember correctly," the pyro mused, "a few years ago, when they had a mission involving them taking back a stolen golden statue that belonged to a Feudal Princess, one of the thieves had accidentially glued their wrists together via Chakra Liquid. It caused them a lot of trouble before they were finally able to work together in order to rescue their teammate Sakura and complete the task."
The 'anura' snickered as he overheard that. "I never knew you guys had been forced together before."
"SHUT UP!" The flaxen hollered.
The sable grunted. "However, unlike then, we can mold chakra even without the use of one hand." He snarled. "Enough stalling; the battle's still going on!"
"Right!" The tawny's grin became downright sinister at the next few words. "And since we managed to recover enough energy..." The pair regained their respective auras, the demon fox and warlord enveloping their creators only seconds later.
With their appearances, the arena was nearly bursting due to the overload in capacity. "Let's go." The manifestations leapt, jumping clear out of the stadium.
"Hey! Wait up!" Enveloping themselves within Aqua Jets, the Pokémon flew after them.
"HEY! GET BACK HERE!" Everyone was forced to cover their ears at the Hokage's screeching lest they become completely deaf. "HOW CAN I EVALUATE ANY OF YOU IF YOU AREN'T EVEN HERE?!"
A large sphere spontaneously materialized in the center of the building as violet light spread across the entire village, the leader ceasing her tirade as an image suddenly appeared within its depths. "What's this?"
"I casted my Genzou throughout the entire area." Zoroark replied.
Tsunade scowled from where she was. "Outside interference is not allowed; this is a test of their skills after all, not yours."
The evolved snarled at that. "I'm not helping anyone; I'm just allowing us to see what's going on outside and protecting the environment from their attacks!" Despite all the attention the mother was receiving, she glared. "Besides, I'm not low enough as to resort to cheating! I want my son to do his best after all!"
"I apologize for jumping to conclusions." The woman stated. "And thank you for allowing us to witness their fight even though they had left."
The addressed grunted. "You're welcome."
"So their battle won't disturb your illusion?" The female turned to the speaker.
She nodded at the pyro. "Yes; after all, my Genzou is of a high level."
"Besides," the keybearer cut in, "you aren't the one being targeted for attacks so your concentration won't be disrupted, right?"
The listener smiled. "Exactly." With all that out of the way, everyone glued their eyes to the globe, watching the events that it showed. The creatures paused midair as the shinobi turned back, heading straight for them.
"How can we even touch them now?!" Zorua cried out, distressed.
Tsutaaja stared at the figures as they approached. "We must get close enough to infiltrate and attack them both from the inside." She scowled. "Though that won't be easy at all."
"Yasaka no Magatama!"
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! Rasenkyūgan!" The projectiles were joined by the twenty-seven limbs launching orbs which absorbed everything upon impact, rapidly closing the distance between their targets.
The pair utilized a multitude of Double Teams, narrowly avoiding being struck. The snake hissed. "They won't let us near either." She humphed. "It looks like we have to take incentive for ourselves!" A golden blade encased by a Sacred Sword extended from the reptile's frond, the ectotherm utilizing the sabers to slice the spheres in half before they could suck her in as well as deflecting the missiles.
"Got it!" The 'ranidae' exclaimed as he morphed into a gainsboro falcon dotted with crimson downs along its underside along with the majority of its back and head sporting a stray feather above its razor-sharp beak, ebon coating the tips of its wings as yellow striated the plumes consisting its tail, veering sharply as he evaded the obstacles. His body then ignited before being covered in an azure radiance which distorted his image, compounded by a sapphire blaze. "BRAVE BLITZ!"
The girl smirked. "A combination of Brave Bird and Flare Blitz, huh? How clever." She commented before spinning midair, a Leaf Storm and Petal Dance swirling around her. "We have to get past!" The debris collided into the limbs, swatting them away as the tomoe were neutralized. An Overheat blasted from her mouth seconds later, the strengthened flames combusting violently as they burned up the fuel. The searing wave struck the two, forcing them to shield themselves. "Thanks for the fire earlier by the way." At that moment, the 'falcon' smashed straight into the replicas, dispelling them as the clones themselves had been defeated.
"Ha! Bigger isn't necessarily better!" The 'ave' taunted, ignoring the massive recoil he had received as he swiftly soared away. "Nice speed and mobility; Fiarrow was the right choice for this situation!"
The raven snarled. "Like we'll let you have your way!" Having managed to recover a bit from the barrage, Sasuke commanded the warlord to extract its twin katanas. "Susanoo: Zan!" The humanoid wielded its weapons, slashing through the flames. His own fire followed shortly, the offense holding the bombardmant back before the blades arced forward twice more, dispelling the remains. The guardian next formed a pitch-black lantern in its palms, morphing it into a bow and arrow. "Enton: Susanoo Kagutsuchi!"
"Fūton: Chōōdama Rasenshuriken!" The complementary techniques then merged into one, a stronger combination resulting.
Still covered in water, the verdant zipped ahead, not relenting. "Here it comes!"
"Shakuton: Kōrin Shippū Shikkoku no Ya Zeroshiki!" The infernal conflagration powered by raging winds shot forward, shattering as it landed its mark on both targets dead-on.
The Jinchūriki cheered as an explosion ensued. "Yeah—" The intended shot out of the smoke, taking the two by surprise. Utilizing the opportunity to its fullest, Tsutaaja unleashed a devestating Doom Desire as the 'tercel' brought about a gigantic crimson inferno which incinerated all in its way, the resulting onslaught enough to force the behemoths back a considerable distance. Multiple alabaster rays could be seen shooting into the atmosphere as the giants finally skidded to a stop.
"What a turn of events!" Axel commented, impressed.
Roxas nodded in agreement. "I wonder what's going to happen next!"
"My baby is holding his own!" Zoroark cried, truly proud of her boy.
Regaining their composure, the assaulted glared harshly at their attackers. "How did you survive that?" The stoic demanded, thoroughly angered.
"Because I had maintained the Flash Fire from before, all Zorua had to do was copy it via Role Play; that's how we bypassed the Amaterasu." Tsutaaja explained, smug. "Even as the Fūton affected us, we simply didn't let it deter our path."
The 'avian' grinned, snickering. "Thanks for the fire just earlier; that sure powered up my Blast Burn!"
"Don't think that was our all!" Naruto declared. "You haven't won just yet!" The kitsune roared as the controller screamed. "It's time to finish this! Senpō: Chō Bijuu Rasenshuriken!" An orb was formed from each tail, the nine disks of varying elements launching simultaneously.
The Uchiha manifested a bow of pure lightning, pointing it at his foes as a crackling bolt was being pulled on the string. "Indora no Ya!"
"Hurry!"
"Right!" The verdant brought about a Protect while her partner manifested a Mat Block, anticipating the barrage. In the blink of an eye, the jutsus slammed into the creatures, instantly shattering the barriers as if they were nothing.
"NANI?!" Both created a humongous depression as they crashed into the ground.
The audience was in absolute awe as they watched the scene before them; the tables had been completely turned.
The crater was smoking as the ninjas approached it, still within their façades as they carefully stepped forward. "They couldn't have remained conscious after this." The sable stated, voice cold.
"You're right." The blond made to agree just as...
...dual blurs shot forward, the ExtremeSpeed catching the ninjas off-guard. The metamorphose had taken on a new appearance; the being had a large head on which lengthy, bowl-shaped ears with yellow and white insides rested upon. The entire backside of the Pokémon was black, including tufts of fur that looked like bangs on his pale face. Large, grey eyes were located above a small nose that was in between twin daffodil cheek pouches. Grand, golden flaps of skin were attached to each of his colorless arms. Two stubby legs carried the organism on land while a long, bolt-shaped tail kept his balance. The 'rodent' zapped by, the Aerial Ace confusing the opponents enough for the snake to be able to land a Reversal, dealing massive damage. As if that was not enough, the alabaster rays suddenly rained down, knocking their pair off their feet.
The flaxen was shocked beyond belief. "But how?!"
"We used Endure to ensure that we had one HP left." The serpent responded, smirking as she held her shoulder. "That's why we haven't lost yet. By the way, that was the Future Sight I had launched just earlier."
The 'pteromyinae' joined in. "Just before we were hit, I transformed into Emonga! My newly acquired ability Motor Drive negates electric-type moves and increases my speed instead!"
"I used Role Play to copy it." The reptile confirmed. "However, we still would have been KO'd if it weren't for Endure."
The onyx sneered. "Again with the Role Play?"
"I see what's going on." The assassin commented. "When Zorua takes on a new form, Tsutaaja uses Role Play to gain the new ability. Depending on the situation, Zorua can Role Play Tsutaaja once he changes form and loses the previous ability."
The samurai was stunned. "What teamwork!"
"Those two are compatible together." The evolved mused, pleased.
The ectotherm scrutinized her adversaries, coming up with a new operation. "Taa. Tsutaa."
"'In order to gain an advantage, we need to get them out in the open. Here's the plan.'" The keybearer was confused. "Why did she switch to Pokémonese all of a sudden?"
The ginger shrugged. "Probably to be able to strategize in secret since Naruto and Sasuke can't understand that language."
"I like where this is going..." The sinister smile the mother wore scared the Nobodies.
The obsidian leered, naturally suspicious. "What are they scheming?"
"I don't like this!" The tawny shivered.
The 'flying squirrel' nodded as his partner had finished. "Wakatta!" Taking advantage of the bright afternoon sun, the grass-type utilized Synthesis twice to rejuvenate her life completely as the 'sciuridae' Recovered the same amount of times, regaining all of his health as well.
"We can't let them have their way anymore!" The Uchicha screamed, the behemoths charging at the two.
The snake smirked. "We'll see about that!" She slammed her frond into the ground, the resulting Earthquake and Magnitude of the highest level enough to stall the giants as she unleashed a Giga Drain, stealing their energy. "Now!"
A violet light overtook the shifter once more, changing his shape into an entirely different one; its body was red with black tendrils streaming throughout to meet its throat and back with the same color. Its wings and tail gave the creature the overall shape of a Y. The appendages attached to the limbs emphasized its razor-sharp talons. Its light blue eyes contrasted greatly with its skin tone. Grey hair flowing from the monster's neck gave it the appearance of having smoke emitting from its back. The beast took to the skies, hovering directly over the restricted pair. "TAKE THIS!" The 'Iberutaru' gave a rapid beat of its wings, a prominent gale coming forth. The shinobi were caught in the prominent winds stirred by the 'legend', the Oblivion Wing sapping them of their power.
The façades faded away as their creators no longer had the strength to sustain them. Seizing the chance, the serpent glared harshly at them both, pristine sparks enveloping them. "Don't bother entering Bijuu Mōdo or Susaoo again; I Disabled both!"
"Don't screw with us!" Despite the warning, both attempted to unleash their respective auras but to no avail; nothing happened.
The reptile smirked. "Didn't I tell you so?"
"I can't believe they were able to expose the ninjas." The assassin muttered.
The samurai was in awe. "I thought they were practically invincible in their respective modes!"
"My son's right you know; bigger isn't necessarily better." The males directed their attention to Zoroark as she continued. "Those two have within them infinite potential!" The Nobodies nodded in agreement as they commenced watching.
The adolescents growled as they extracted multiple kunai. "Don't underestimate us!"
"Same here!" The squamata breathed out fire, the flames charring their knives. "My Incinerate just rendered your tools useless!" She then smirked. "Check on your Berries as well." The instructed did just that, finding ashes in their pouches. She grinned. "I burned them as well!"
The Uzumaki growled. "Why you—" At that moment, the 'myth' descended, catching its targets by surprise with its Sky Attack.
"Gotcha!" The dark-type snickered.
Sasuke snarled as he grabbed his sheath, extracting his sword which remained unscathed. Upon catching the verdant's look of surprise, he grunted. "My Kusanagi no Tsurugi won't be felled by such low-level tactics!" He crouched as electricly cackled throughout the steel. "Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Chidorigatana!"
"Don't count my Ryūjin out either!" Draconic wisps gusted around the caster, surrounding him as he charged. "Fūton: Ryūjin Rasengan!"
The Pokémon prepared themselves as the shinobi advanced. "Like we'll let you!" The snake stomped a foot, Precipice Blades erupting out of the ground, blocking the raven's path.
"Yeah!" The 'raptor' cried to the heavens, Thunder crashing down.
The sable smirked. "Sou desu ka?" He arced his chokutō, effortlessly slicing the stalagmites.
"Is that so?" The voltage struck the spiralling form only to be directed into the ground, dealing no harm.
Zorua was shocked. "But how?! I thought ground and electric-type moves were effective against electric and flying respectively! Why were our attacks taken down so easily?!"
"Don't forget that they're not 'electric and flying-type moves', but Raiton and Fūton." The stoic mocked as the duo continued towards them. "Even though that might be how it works for you Pokémon, it's different for us; Raiton is strong against Doton and Fūton is strong against Raiton!"
The disguised was astonished. "But when we fought before, I was able to avoid being obliterated by your Kirin by becoming a ground-type which is immune, remember?!"
"But the attacks themselves aren't immune, now are they?" The sable's expression became wicked as he spoke.
The reptile scowled. "We have to get away!" The creatures made to create distance between their opponents...
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" ...only for Shadow Clones to appear, blocking all possible routes.
"GŌKEN!" The replicas balled their fingers, surrounding the creatures as they leapt. The pair stood firmly, the verdant calling forth her Power Whips which she managed to cover in thorns as the 'avian' performed Acrobatics, evading the onslaught as the duplicates were dispersed...or so they thought.
"U!"
"ZU!"
"MA!"
"KI!"
A new bunch had been created, closing in on them. "NARUTO RENDAN!"
"Raikō Shishi Rendan!" To avoid being beaten up for a second time, the intended read their movements, countering via a flurry of punches as well as kicks and Superpower respectively. The four then proceeded to engage in close combat, fists and claws being thrown. Each time one tried to get the upper hand on the other, a counter would be enacted, preventing any advantages from occurring.
The audience couldn't take their eyes off the scenes, completely engrossed. No one had realized that hours had passed until the sun began setting.
"What a battle!" Axel exclaimed. "I can't tell who will win!"
"When will this end?!" Roxas questioned. "Neither side is relenting!"
Zoroark nodded solemnly. "Who knows? However, the decisive strike will have to come soon..."
"You aren't making this easy for us." The blond commented as his chest heaved.
The 'Iberuraru' panted, gasping for breath. "Same here."
"Don't think this will last long though." Sasuke smirked. "We still have one last trick to show you; we've gathered enough chakra by now." He glanced at his partner who did the same. "Naruto!" The teammates leapt toward each other, standing side by side. A golden aura shrouded by purple spontaneously formed before expanding exponentially, taking on the shape of the demon fox. Violet scales crept along the beast's skin, rapidly covering the exterior before enclosing the skin as armor, making it appear all the more sinister. The sources could be seen within a clear crystal on the embodiment's forehead, towering high above their foes.
Tsutaaja was horribly shocked. "BUT HOW?! I THOUGHT I DISABLED—"
"You Disabled Bijuu Mōdo and Susanoo individually, but not this." The Uchiha responded, smug.
The Uzumaki grinned. "By merging our chakras, we were able to create a new jutsu that surpassed your hinderance since it isn't either one, but both combined!"
"No way..." The female was at a loss for words. She then gained resolve. "Then I must Disable this too—"
The fiend suddenly dashed forward, kicking both into the air before either could react. The monster then extracted its sword, swatting them harshly to the side with the flat. "Bijūdama!"
"Chidori!" Lightning was channeled into the orb as it was launched, enchanting it as it flew towards its victims.
Tsutaaja grunted as she regained control, no longer spinning wildly. "We have to destroy that or else!" She didn't have to finish her sentence. Complying as it straightened itself out, it beat its wings strongly, unleashing a howling Hurricane as Frenzy Plants sprouted at an unnatural rate from the soil beneath. The attacks collided, resulting in a grand explosion that eradicated the entire forest. She snarled. "They're too difficult to engage the 'normal' way; we must defeat them in a single go!" She crossed her limbs as Guillotine enlongated them while the 'myth' exhaled Sheer Cold, aiming to one-shot them.
"Such cheap tricks won't work against us!" The being turned, the swishing of the nonet of wisps dispelling the absolute zero instantly before catching the squamata's belly, preventing the blades from doing any harm. The katana was then taken out a second time, the side colliding into the two once more, slamming both into the ground. The ninjas watched as the Pokémon struggled to stand.
"Just give up; you won't be able to win." The onyx taunted within the manifestation.
The serpent growled as she enveloped herself within an Aqua Jet, taking off once again. "We can't afford to be careless; their strength has doubled due to them joining forces."
"Then how can we beat them?!" The 'avian' shrieked, losing hope as it joined her.
The squamata extended a slender appendage, pointing at them both. "Remember that both had sustained a lot of damage from earlier despite not acting like it. Since they haven't healed themselves and I had Incinerated their Berries, they haven't recovered any life. That's why they aren't attacking us right now; they've gotten tired. That's our only chance. We can't hold back even as they assault us; they reinforced both their defenses and offenses." She narrowed her eyes. "No matter what happens, we must break their bond. Only one move can do that successfully." She discussed what they must do silently with the 'raptor' in Pokémonese, the 'legend' nodding once she had finished.
"Got it." The shifter morphed back into Gekkōga, rocketing forward as Flame Charge overtook him, becoming red. The reptile Role Played, gaining Protean before doing the same, changing into a fire-type. A violaceous light surrounded the metamorphose once more, a small cream creature bearing a set of wings above its legs, large azure eyes, and orange digits the same color as the outside of its V-shaped ears emerging. The 'rabbit' also copied its partner's ability, becoming the same attribute.
The ebony narrowed his eyes. "They're up to something; we can't let them near!"
"Right!" The kitsune opened its mouth wide, energy gathering before being released multiple times. "Renzoku Bijūdama!"
"Chidori Nagashi!" The current merged with the humongous orbs, cannoning at the approaching duo. However, a huge fireball in addition to a stream of cleansing blaze shot from both, deterring their trajectories. The bombs exploded midair as the pair advanced, conflagrations burning wildly on lobes and vestigial features respectively.
The ginger was shocked. "That's V-Create!"
"It's the most powerful move there is that's isn't self-destructive!" The windswept shouted.
The evolved observed the situation closely. "Is this the finishing blow?"
"We won't be holding back either!" An orb was formed from each tail, the nine disks of varying elements launching simultaneously. "Senpō: Chō Bijuu Rasenshuriken!"
The fiend also manifested a bow of pure lightning, pointing it at its foes as a crackling bolt was being pulled on the string. "Indora no Ya!" Both jutsus launched ahead like before, only different; the arrow and discs merged, becoming even more deadly as the cackling spheres sliced through the air.
"IKE!" The assaults collided, an explosion of unimaginable proportions overtaking the entire area. The bystanders were stunned into the silence as all they could see was smoke. A blur suddenly appeared before crashing straight through the floor, kicking up even more dust.
Once the stadium had cleared, what was before everyone stunned them into complete silence; a gaping crater existed where the ground had been, four figures visible in the dead center. Two suddenly collapsed, only two remaining standing.
"They were worthy adversaries." The Pokémon were sprawled across the terrain, completely unconscious. The shifter had returned to his original shape as both laid there, unmoving.
The blond beamed as faced the raven. "We wo—" The boy stopped mid-sentence as his vision abruptly became black, the raven falling over as well.
"The match is finally over." Tsunade's announcement came clearly throughout the arena, all directing their attention to it. "Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha won, if by only a couple of seconds." Something inside the globe caught the woman's eye, unadulterated fury combusting at the sight. "HEY! THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A TEST OF SKILL, NOT A SECOND COMING OF PEIN!" From within, only a barren wasteland could be seen, the forest and village unable to be recognized from a nuclear war zone. The villagers couldn't register what they witnessed, their homes having been lost. Again.
"MY BABY!" The mother leapt into the depression, running straight to her son's still form.
Axel went after her. "Wait up!"
"Zoroark! Dispel your illusion first!" Roxas cried out. A murmur in the crowd could be heard at what he said.
The leader's voice came on once more. "Illusion?"
"Don't forget that I casted Genzou once they had left; that's how you were able to see any of the fight after that. I told you this." She huffed. "None of the damage is real. In fact, no one outside of this stadium could even detect their battle. Trust me, my illusions are more than enough to do that." At that moment, a violet light scanned across the whole primacy, everything appearing normal as it passed. A collective sigh of relief could be heard throughout as the parent went to her child's side, twin waves transferring into him before moving on to the serpent.
Zorua opened his eyes as he woke up. "Meema? What happened?"
"You both were defeated by them." She pointed at fallen ninjas. "However, they passed out almost immediately afterwards."
Tsutaaja shook her head as she regained awareness. "So even our fail-safe Endure failed us, huh?" She was solemn. "I guess they were simply too powerful."
"Come on, don't be like that!" She turned to Roxas as he kneeled beside the two. "They only remained conscience for moments longer!"
Axel nodded in agreement. "Although you still lost, it was really close!"
"I'm proud of you both." Zoroark whispered as she glanced at her kid and his friend. "That was a great battle and thank you for protecting my son."
"No problem." The verdant smiled before turning to the Nobodies. "I guess..." She then picked herself up, walking towards her former opponents. She lifted a vine as a medical squad rushed towards them. "It's alright; I got this." She created four Heal Pulses, the ripples recovering their health.
The Hokage walked up as the boys groaned, getting up. "Congratulations on your win; as expected of Konoha's strongest shinobi." She turned to the other pair. "However, these Pokémon didn't go down without a fight, and one heck of a fight it was." She smiled as she addessed the audience, clasping the microphone she held more tightly. "Through careful evaluation of this test, I can say one thing that no one can dispute; we will be safer with these two around!" She pointed at the kit and squamata. "They have skill and can work together nicely. They can strategize for any situation. We already know that Zorua will stay with us for the time being." She crouched down, facing the snake. "But I have to ask you: will you fight off the threat with us?"
The questioned bowed. "I will." She gazed at all the people before her. "I'm Tsutaaja and I will fight alongside you all."
The crowd erupted into cheers at that. The leader smiled as she continued. "As shinobi of the Hi no Kuni, we will do whatever is in our power to protect it and with our new allies by our side, that threat will run away with its tail in between its legs for messing with the proud citizens of Konoha!"
Winner or loser, the tetrad couldn't help but feel immense joy as applause filled the stadium.
"You were holding back that time, weren't you?"
Over the next few weeks, the seven had stayed together, preparing for what was to come. Every other ninja within the village also underwent intense training, not wanting to be left behind in protecting everyone. Over time, they all became closer, the Nobodies exchanging knowledge of various worlds as the creatures taught them more about their kind and gave new Berries while the flaxen and sable explained the events that went on in their pasts. During that time, they became practically inseparable.
Sasuke quirked a brow at the pup. "So what if I was? I wasn't trying to kill you."
"Humph. No wonder you were so much more difficult!" The canine pouted.
The parent glared harshly as she picked up her offspring, placing him in her hair defensively. "If you ever actually try to kill him..."
"I swear! We won't! We won't!" Naruto cut in, panicked. He didn't want to ward off an angry mother as she tried to rip him into pieces while making him experience the worst deaths possible...
The serpent sighed. "Don't worry; I'll protect your son from harm."
"Thank you." The guardian smiled, truly grateful.
The assassin quirked a brow. "You'd think she would trust them more by now."
"You never can be too sure with your children." Roxas shrugged.
The evolved nodded, agreeing with the keybearer. "He's right, you know."
"Are you sure you can protect the ones you love...or anyone for the matter?" The heptad paused as they frantically search for the source of the mysterious question.
The pyro narrowed his eyes. "That voice..."
"It couldn't be—" A dark portal surrounded by ebon and silver tendrils spontaneously appeared, a mysterious figure stepping out. Although his face was obscured in shadow, that didn't deter the ex-agents. "A Black Coat! It really is him!"
The Uzumaki crouched, extra wary at he extracted a pair of kunai. "Is this the new threat?!"
"Who is 'him'?" The Uchiha narrowed his eyes at the arrival.
The kit shivered within the thick fur. "I'm scared!"
The mother cradled her baby close to her. "Who are you and what do you want with my son?!"
The snake hissed. "I thought we killed you!"
"Or so you thought." The monotone tone rang out as the enigma pulled down his hood, revealing his identity; a thickset man who had amber hues near grey locks which flowed past his shoulders stared back at them.
Axel was unable to process what was before him as the object of his mass confusion approached. "Xemnas?!"

I hope you all enjoyed it! :D
How was it?
Please review! I really appreciate them and they motivate me to write more!
