Alright everyone, here's the low down. I have gotten reviews on about my grammar skills and personally I agree. Personally agree that I suck at Grammar, even with Spell Check and such. Of course, I like to point out that I don't plan on being a professional writer down the road, just enough to be good at righting reports and such for work. Now on to business.
Last time, the Great War between the Three Factions has ended where a new time of beginning has started. With the death of God and The Four Great Satans the world continued to head down a path that only its people can lead it down to.
One more thing, the Great War started hundreds of years ago but ended in the 9th century, a few centuries after King Arthur, because of Excalibur. Since Devils are almost Immortal, Sirzech and Grayfia will be born around the same time as Naruto.
3 years later
It was high noon as people from a small village in Austria were busy working. In the main market place, men and women were busy with their own work or living conditions while their children helped out or played around.
In the midst of the crowded area, one person wearing a wool cloak walked through the crowd with an emotionless look on his face. He used part of the cloak as a hood, but few in the crowd were able to the person's face.
The person in question was the blonde hair warrior, also known only to the three factions as the Blue Knight. It's been four years since that fateful yet dark day where he killed both the Four Great Satans and God himself. Since then, he has changed in both body and personality.
The young warrior was now in his early to mid-twenties that stood 6 ft. tall. His blonde hair grew a bit longer, still being spiky while having a short bangs on his side to frame his face. As he walked through the village he can't help but think on how much the earth has changed since the days of his lost childhood.
Past
Back when he barely is able to remember his life, four years old, he remembered a time when things for him were completely different; peaceful, filled with days of joy and happiness alongside his parents and siblings, not having a care in the world.
Those days, he remembered that every morning and every night, his family would gather together and pray to the Lord, in thanks for giving them their bliss. His home back then wasn't much, had the basic necessities while having the beauty of nature surrounding them. In a way, his family believed that god had given them or allowed them to live in the "Eternal Garden" that the bible has written down. As a boy, he was completely blessed since living with his family in happiness, back then, was the only thing he ever wish for and thank God for it everday.
Of course, that peaceful reality didn't last long ever since the night he lost everything. It was the middle of the night as he was asleep along his brothers and sisters while his parents where in another room. They were so deep in sleep that none of them didn't hear the sounds of footsteps coming towards them.
Outside the scrawny home, a group of fallen angels were moving in silence as they came to find a place to hide themselves. The reason they were trying to hide was that a larger group of devils were after them. At some distance, there was a small quarrel where the Devils and Fallen Angels fought against each other, where the Fallen Angels that were able to last the longest retreated in order to regroup and escape where they found the small home and thought it would a good place to hide.
As they went into hide, a few looked around to see it was inhabit anted by a family but didn't care for it since they wanted to live. They decided to leave the family alone since if the devils sees the dead human bodies, they'll know that they might be nearby.
Going inside the building, one of them saw the cross of Christ on one of the walls. He informed the others which told them that this was a house of Christianity believers. They had to leave immediately since this could alert the Angels of Heaven on their whereabouts. As they tried to leave, one of the devils spotted them which sparked the battle all over again.
The sounds of battle that started awaken the family from it. The parents looked out to see that it was battle of supernatural beings. They quickly went to their children to get them out of here and into a safe place. As the family tried to leave, one of the devils was thrown near them, where the father had his wooden pitch fork, along with a cross, to defend his family. He told them to run into the woods for safety. Devil saw the man with a weapon and cross and though he was an enemy. He quickly attacked and killed the father.
The mother and her children ran but heard the sound of a man being killed. The father died on the spot where his children cried, while the mother quickly let go of her grief since the battle continued on. She quickly moved them into the woods but was suddenly struck by rogue blade of light killing her.
The, now, orphaned children were shocked and sadden about this. They were to frighten to move. The only thing they can do was just pray which they did, leaving them undefended. A few Fallen Angels and Devils brought the fight towards them, where they're clash was going to hit the children. Just as they were about to hit, another power blocked them forcing them to back off.
In the sky, a bright light appeared, where the children thought it was the sun. It was then that a group of angels decedent down to the ground. These angels were nearby when they felt the prayers of the young children as well as the feeling of battle. They originally had no purpose on fighting the two sides, but could sense the innocents of the children and quickly came to their aid.
With the angel's arrival, the battlefield increase. The leader of the angel group order two of them to guide the innocent children to safety while the rest provided cover and support to assure they left unharmed as they deal with the Devils and Fallen Angels.
The two angels got the children to run towards the woods towards the nearby river. As they ran, their guardians were forces away from attacks by one of the Fallen ones that separated them. In the skirmish, a powerful demonic blast came out of nowhere which hit the children dead on except for one. In one desperate move, the older sibling through his youngest brother into the sky where the shockwave of the blast through him into the river, where he was carried away as he struggled to stay alive.
As the morning sun began to shine on the land, the young four year old was on the river bank just a bit of distance from his home, but still recognize from his time with his father. He started to walk up stream to get back home. It took him about a quarter of the day because of his small body but was able to make it. When he got back home, the only thing he saw was his home was now destroyed. He walked around till he found several graves with the cross of Christ. It was on their graves that made the boy suddenly cry since on the graves, he can see his family wooden crosses, that even he had one, being on it. He can till since along with cross, some beads where on the rope that acted both as a pendant or wristband. As he cried, he pulled out his wooden cross that was around his neck and began to pray.
"Oh lod… pewease…pewease… bring bac… momma… papa... my brothers… my sisters…" cried the young boy as he prayed as best he could as he was now all alone.
After the fight, several more angels arrive to help those that were still alive. The ones alive felt the battle along with the innocent Christian family that was praying for help. The angel doesn't know on what happened to the children where he pointed out that they were going near the river. One investigated to only tell them news on that the children were killed. This sadden them especially from the remains of the home that these people were strong in belief to the lord given the Christian items around the house. The only thing they could do was gather their bodies, bury them with their crosses, and pray that the lord will be kindhearted on letting the family live in heaven.
The boy had stopped praying when his prayers weren't being answered. He decided to head over to a friend of his parents, who were also Christians that lived not far from here. It took another couple of hours before he made it, where his parent's friends learned on what happened to their friends, well learn as much from a 4 year old. They took in the boy and made him apart of their family, along with their own two children since they knew that their old friends would like that.
It was another two years where the boy and his new adopted family had left the secluded area to look for a more peaceful place in a large village or kingdom, as well for the husband to look for work where this time, the boy learned another harsh lesson in life and question his faith.
The family had move to a small village where they lived a pretty decent life, which the family continue to follow the path of Christianity. However, faith is not always answered. At one point, the father had gotten sick where the mother and her oldest child had to go to work, while the two young ones where left to take care of the home. As things were getting tough, their employment was cut off which made food scarce for them. Things were getting pretty bad until it the nightmare reappeared once again.
Human bandits, used the cover of night to start an attack on the small village. Many fought to defend yet many has fallen in the bandits attack. The blond boy and his new siblings were able to escape but the parents had died. It was also during this attack that the blonde had learned/experience his first great sin. In order to defend his new siblings, who were 2-4 years older than him, he has taken a life.
He and his siblings were running away from a burning village that they were living. He and his new siblings were separated from their parents. As they ran to escape the chaos, he and his siblings got trapped in a corner where one of the bandits manage to corner them.
The two older siblings were too scared to move while the young blonde shook in fear at the situation. He looked around to see that the only thing around was a discarded wooden farm fork at his feet. The bandit ran up to them with a wooden club ready to strike at them. It was then that they young boy quickly picked up the fork, at the last second, directly at the bandit where he unintentional ran into, impaling himself where the bandit died.
The young blond saw what happened where he began to shake in disbelief. The only thing he wanted to do was protect his new siblings, but not take a life. In that moment, his older siblings were able to shake off the trauma for the moment, where they quickly got the young spiky blonde and left.
Once again orphaned, the three walked together throughout the night till early morning. For the next three days, they traveled the woods with no food or water. They would have died if it wasn't by luck or some kind of deity/force that led them to a traveling caravan of people. The three were found by the people and given food and water. The people asked them if they want to join them once they heard the story about their village which they agreed.
For the next 6 years, the young blond along with his siblings traveled the land while learning about life and continuing with their Catholic ways. During that time, the spiky blonde boy was finally able to deal his first kill but still prayed for forgiveness to God for his sin.
The three children traveled all of Europe. From Frankish Empire to the Slavonic tribes, traveling south between the border of Atelcusu and Kingdom of Chaz. Moving down further south towards the Middle East then turned back north through the East Roman Empire to Italy.
During the travels, the young girl walked learned from her fellow female travelers on how to cook, make clothing and such. The oldest male sibling learned navigation and fishing. The young spiky blonde did the only thing he knew he had to do. From memory, he knew that he was weak and needed to get strong. From the traveling caravan, he found some old trained soldiers or warrior and learned how to fight.
The blonde learned swordsmanship, tactics, hand-to-hand moves from veteran soldiers and such. He was able to put his skills through the test when the caravan was attacked a few times where season and new coming fighters protected from surprise attacks. Even though there was losses, the three siblings were able to survive this and other countless other attacks that came.
It was through this that the spiky blonde boy was baptize in combat. It wasn't long before all this was put through the true test, fighting against the supernatural world. After years since the death of his first family, the angels, devils and fallen angels started another battle where they were at the center of.
Over the years, the blonde boy had heard stories of the battles of the supernatural world that's been going on earth while traveling in the caravan. From the people that they encounter, the devil and Fallen Angels has increase their fighting against each other. God and his angels have fought against the other two factions in order to stop the fighting on the earth's surface but nothing has changed, except the loss of lives, including humans, destruction of homes, and loss of food continue to increase throughout the world. With all this, it also makes question about his faith in the biblical god, given the state of the world.
The battle was destructive as the people in the caravan ran for their lives, where families separated from other families to insure their safety which the angels helped as best they could. The blonde boy ensured that his older siblings were able to get away as he watch their backs. He carried a sword and shield. His training paid off as he slice any devil or fallen angel that came to near them for comfort. The boy was too caught up that he failed to notice the magic blast that struck him and blown him away, along with his sword and shield. He struggled himself up as he then saw a light blade spear from a Fallen Angel came at him. Through great will power and pain, he caught the blade spear in his hands. He let go as he dropped it and himself to the ground. As he laid there, barely able to move it was there that he began to reevaluate his beliefs and his teachings.
"Why…? Why… is this happening again?" he thought as he looked at the burning and dead bodies that was going around him, reminding him on that night so many years ago.
"I've prayed and follow his teachings just like I was taught by my parents… yet everywhere I go, there was trouble or sadness… pain and misery… from those who didn't do anything wrong while following and accepting gods way. So why is this happening…!" he told himself
He continue to think about this as his heart and mind began to revolutionize on the whole idea of the Catholic way. After thinking about it so much that he decided to fight against not only against the devils, and fallen angels, but also God himself.
"If no one is able to stop this war… this constant state of endless fighting… then I'll do it… even if I have to do it all alone…" the blonde boy thought
In his mind, he awake something. He felt like he just awaken some kind of power within himself. The boundaries of good and evil, light and darkness, right and wrong where now broken within him. You could say he achieve his own mental "Balance Break". His senses and strength increase as he fought the devils and Fallen Angels with incredible speed and strength, but it wasn't enough. He yelled at them to stop fighting since this was a meaningless confrontation for the earth, but none would listen. Another spear of light came at him, where he caught it and actually able to wield and use it, even with his hands burning because of the power.
A demonic power blast came right towards him, where he used the light spear blade that was burning his hands, to block it. When the attacks collide with the defense, he could feel as both light and dark powers where entering his body. His current mentality was already at its peak and with the power going through his body, something else has awakened. In that moment, a powerful explosion accord directly where he was, where everyone else didn't pay any mind to it since the battle still wage on.
He is currently drifting in an endless void, void of time or space, void of anything but mixtures of colors in the light and dark. Even though he was drifting in this void, his thoughts weren't in his current predicament, but what still on his thoughts about God and his faith as a catholic. He thought off the good that God brought to mankind, yet he also thought on who he left out, abandoned, and sacrifice to do. How his teachings didn't work with everyone? Where people are still fighting for their lives, either by the supernatural or by people who abandon their faith or were only shown the darkness, not the light of God.
It was only the sound of giant roar that actually awaken him. He looked in this endless void to see a creature appearing before him. The creature was moving towards him, where he can see that it was 100 meters tall. Once it came close enough, he saw that it was a great, big, red dragon (Great Red).
Seeing the dragon, he figured he was going to be killed or eaten by this giant reptile. With no weapons in his hands, he intended to live not just for his sake, but for his siblings and to fight against the War that was happening back home. In that moment, the feeling he had before, mental "Balance Breaker" activated again.
The dragon appeared and opened its mouth where the young man just readied himself. The blonde warrior barely maneuvered himself and delivered a strong punch at the snot, forcing him above the jaws, but started to bump all over on its back, barely avoiding the spikes it got on it.
The punch that he delivered didn't faze the dragon, but it did annoyed it. He turned around to see the boy was barely hanging on, but glaring right at its eyes. The dragon already knew that he could easily destroy the young boy but his eyes shwoed differently. His eyes, void of fear or doubt, showed a strength, a potential of something great. The Dragon glared at him, roaring right in front of the boy, but he didn't back down. The dragon saw, that no matter what the boy believed that he can actually win against him.
Great Red went to attack the boy again and see what he can do. The dragon went at it him with incredible destructive power. This time, the young blonde was ready again, with injuries and bruises around his body. In his mind, he was ready to survive. It was then that something happened. A strange new feeling came upon him like his body was now on fire. The dragon saw that the void was letting him show his fighting spirit as his body was covered in both white and dark flames.
The young blonde moved with incredible speed where he avoided the claw strike and aimed right at the dragon's head. The dragon didn't feel a thing as the boy punched under his mouth. He roared again, forcing the boy back where the beast pierced through his body with its claw. It was there that both the boy and the dragon could hear each other's heart. The dragon saw what the boy has been feeling and such, where it actually stare at the boy with respect since not only on his courage and will, but also for believing so much that he can kill it, even his current state.
The boy was hearing the voices of hundreds of thousands of people having similar thoughts, those from the catholic faith.
"Why am I suffering like this? I have prayed and worship so hard and yet… God hasn't answered my call to help me? Why am I not bless? Why can't have peace in my life?" said a male voice
"I thank you lord for giving me strength to keep my family happy. I hope that you watch over my family and keep us safe…" said a woman
"All this fighting… does God even care on how much destruction that the devils and monsters having been doing to us. Why is there so much death to so many people, especially among the catholics." Said another voice
The people that thank god that brought them peace and asked for a protection, while the others who weren't blessed because they're prayers weren't answered responded with hateful tones. Other people who weren't part of the religion wanted someone to bring peace while other wanted revenge for all that been taken.
The thing in common with all these thoughts were that everyone in the world wanted peace and happiness. But, because so many had their own faith and beliefs, it was so hard for them to actually to do so since none had the courage to do anything about or didn't know on how to achieve the power to help them out. As the blond was close to death where his consciousness faded, the dragon had another thought. In its wisdom (don't know how much), he gave the boy some of its power to him, where it healed him completely. Then out of that power, it gave him a fang where he would let the boy heart decided on it. The blonde warrior wanted a sword to protect but also help him protect him to survive the war that was happening, to help mankind bring peace and to take revenge on what's happened to them. To put an end to all this senseless fighting and death, where the fang started transforming into what he wanted where a hidden secret was imbedded into the creation of something powerful where it was taking in not only his feelings but also the peoples wishes and hatred. It transformed into a sword, with hidden ability in it.
The sword had a silver handle design with gold bands. In the center of it, 2 golden pentagrams overlap each other. The blade itself was sapphire/azure color design on it with straight curve edges with 2 gold diamond design in the center and near the tip.
(Eternity – Sword Quest Wiki)
Morning, the sun was starting to rise as light wind spread out on the empty battlefield. In the battlefield, the young blonde's siblings were walking around the field to see they can find their little brother, while also looking for supplies. They hope that their brother was alright and prayed that nothing happened to him. They walked around a little more where the sister found their brother's body.
The blonde was unconscious where he heard the two yelling out to him from a distance. He was stirred awake where he moved and started to sit up straight. He felt like a mess, like he was hit by a bull or something powerful like that. The two siblings cried in happiness as their prayers were answered since their little brother was safe. The blonde smiled at them and was glad to see his older siblings alive. Just as he was about to stand, his older brother asked him something.
"Hey little man… how you got that sword?" where the young blonde looked confused. The older brother and sister pointed behind him where he looked down to see that it was the sword that appeared to him.
He began to wonder if the dream he had wasn't a dream but actually happened. The oldest sibling went up to pick it up.
"Well, how you got it doesn't matter. With this sword, we can trade this thing to help get us some supplies and get another sword and new shield." The older sibling said as he touched the sword. The next thing that happened is that his hand was burned slightly where he was shoved back by the clamoring sword.
"Brother!" both yelled where they went up to him. He said he was fine but wondered on why the sword burned him. They all thought that the sword must be magical and wondered on how their little brother got it. The young blonde looked at the sword before going up to it. They tried to stop him but the blonde simply picked up the sword, where it glowed ominously. The sword disappeared from their sight. The boy wondered on how it disappeared but this time focus hard where it appeared again in his hands.
"I guess… this sword must be mine." The blonde stated
After that, the three left to continue on with their lives, where the blonde practice hard in mastering his new sword. At one point, he decided to leave his siblings saying that he is going to help end this war that God and Satans have been fighting.
At first, they thought he was nuts but saw that he was serious. They told their younger brother good luck, along on where they are going to live in for now on. For the next 3 years, he trained with incredible diligent on mastering his sword. He struggled for a bit but hired himself as a slayer against any evil demons or devils. Somewhere along the line, he made contact with the Vatican where they offered to let him join their organization since he held a powerful sword that God gave to him. He declined where he had a bit of trouble with them but nothing to problematic.
It was in the fourth year that everything changed for him. Several powerful fallen angels and devils had heard about the powerful sword where they went after him. They boy was pushed to his limits, since the swords power increased his speed, strength, and ability where he actually learned on how to do some low magic such as light, fire, lighting, and even water from traveling exorcists that hired him for some help.
He was near death door, where the two forces battled against each other to achieve the sword. It was then that the two factions saw the boy glow ominously as the sword faded away and the boy was covered in both light and darkness. In his place, he now stood fully armored (from the description that I already described). He felt powers like never before, like the armor was absorbing his will which increased in power. The boy moved with incredible speed and power killing his would be captures. When it was over, he stood above dead Fallen Angels and Devils. Thus the legend of the Blue Knight was born.
Present
The boy's thought stopped when he heard about a monster was killing people in the northern road where travelers often come from one of the other large villages. The young blonde decided to take care of it since he also wanted information.
Night
The blonde warrior moved in the dark forest where the killing has been happening. He walked calmly on the road as he kept his guard up, waiting for whatever would try and attack him.
He didn't wait for long when an attack of darkness appeared from the shadows. He dodged it with ease. He kept his cool as he could sense a devil was nearby. As he looked around, he wasn't away of the devil, slowly, rising behind him with its nails ready to slash him apart.
It was then that in an instant, the devil saw the boy in front of him disappeared and looked confused. Before he could think, he heard the young warrior.
"So, you're the monster that been killing people. Too bad for you that I was nearby."
The blonde would have respond but then saw blood dripping from somewhere around him. The devil then notice that it's vision was now being separated and finally realized on what happened.
"H-how could I lo-lose to a human?" said the devil where it split in half before disintegrating into dust.
The warrior started to walk back to the village and announce that he slain the monster. As he calmly walked back, his was in thought on what's been happening lately.
"Even though now that the world is a little more peaceful since the ceasefire between the devils, Angels and Fallen Angels have basically stopped. I keep on hearing that devils are now acting strange for some reason, attacking territories that are either habited by both Angels and Fallen Angels. Is there something going on in the Underworld. I need answers and I think I know on how to get it. I just hope that he'll come to hear my plea." He thought
Church
It took him only two hours to arrive back to the village. After defeating the killing devil, he went to the church since he knew he can get the information he needed from there. It took half an hour to reach the local church, where he walked inside.
Silently walking in the corridors, making sure not to awaken the priest. He made it up to the mantle where he was directly below the cross. He looked at it for a bit before sighing since he knew that he probably wasn't on the Angels good side right now.
"Go-… no… Michael and the other Seraph Angels… I know that you can hear me. I come here to ask you some questions. And as the one that killed your leader, I'm asking you to come out to hear me. If you need proof that it's me and then sense this." The warrior stated as he began to let loose his power where the candles in the church that lit up the place, puffed out of existence.
He waited in the dark for a bit until he felt a pure yet powerful aura appeared behind him where a light shined behind him. The light faded where he didn't face the person but knew who the person was, given the shadow he created with his entrance.
"It's been a while since we last met…" asked the blonde warrior
"Yes, it has been. It makes it more curious for me since I figured you would avoid places like this." Answered the Angel
"Yeah… well… things have changed. How's that wound on your shoulder? I hope it isn't too damage from our fight, Michael." The blonde warrior asked as he turned around to see the God's former right hand man, Michael the archangel.
Michael is a handsome-looking man with long blonde hair and green eyes. He has twelve wings behind his back that were gold coloring instead of pure white coloring.
Michael looked at the man, who still had his hood over his head only revealing his mouth from the shadows.
"My shoulder is perfectly fine after some healing. But besides that, I wondering on why the Knight of Life and Destruction in this sacred place." Michael asked where he looked at the Knight that killed God.
The Blue Knight raised his right hand where he summoned his sword, in a diagonal form where he can make a horizontal slash. Michael stood there unnerved but also kept caution on the situation.
"Is this the reason why you called for us… to finish us off one at a time? Or is it for another purpose." Michael asked
In the shadows of the church, there was an Angel hiding in the corridor to assure that nothing happens to Michael.
When the sword was summoned, Michael and the Angel that was hiding held their breath at what might happened. The Blue Knight's expression didn't changed at all. It was then that he let go of the sword, hitting the ground where he brought his hands up in a submissive manner.
"Let that be proof that I didn't come here to fight but to talk." The Knight stated
Michael acknowledge it, where he then asked for the visit. The Knight asked him if he knows anything about the sudden devil attacks on the Angels or Grigori territory.
Michael explained to him that the underworld is currently in a civil war that started a year ago. From some representatives of the Anti-Satan faction, Michael has learned that the original faction that followed the old leaders that he killed wanted to continue the war between the Angels and Fallen Angels. The Anti-Satan faction doesn't want to go to war since they want to rebuild their race from all the losses. With that, a civil war broke out against the old Satan Faction vs. the young Anti-Satan faction. Even though the young Anti-faction was slowly growing in power, the old Satan faction has experience where it's been an even battle, especially since some of the Fallen Angels had join their side in hopes to help destroy the younger devils while at the same time get rid of potential threats, which Michael personally thought.
"So let me get this straight. If the old Satan faction were to win against this civil war in the underworld, they're going to break the ceasefire and continue the war on earth again. Is that right, Michael?" The Blue Knight asked
"Yes… if the Old Satan faction where to win their civil war, then the ceasefire that we agreed on will end. With it, the Angels will fight again against the devils and Fallen Angels, if they decided to enter it." Michael confirmed
"I see… so I'm guessing that it's the old Satan faction is responsible for the sudden uproar that is happening around the churches and such." The Blue Knight thought out loud
"You're also correct. The anti-Satan faction has helped us by trying to take care of the matter themselves, but since these are young devils with little experience in fighting battles. It's becoming difficult for them to keep things quiet." Michael confirmed the knight's thoughts.
The young knight was quiet where Michael could see that he was deep thought. It ended when Michael saw, even with the darkness all over them, the serious, piercing blue eyes that he had.
"Michael… I have a favor to ask you…" the Knight asked looking at Michael
"What would that favor be?" Michael question
"I need you to give me way to enter to enter hell." He asked with determination
Till Next Time
Let me point something out, next chapter will probably be a short chapter, depending on what I can do. Next Chapter is when you all find out on what's Naruto's name during the ninth century. And Yes, Naruto is a reincarnation of the Blue Knight if you figured it out since Rias wasn't born yet. He will slowly regain his memories of his past where he'll start having trouble. It was also during in the past where Naruto and Grayfia were involved with each other which you'll find out along the way.
Personally, I would have like to add more detail and explain Naruto's belief and such. But we all know that faith and religion beliefs would be insane to talk about since it still a constant argument.
Also, I hope that, for all you all Catholics that read this story, I totally respect a person's belief even if I do or don't follow the same way. But I needed to find a away on how to end god's life (no offense). I remembered the old Xena show where Hercules killed his father Zeus.
In the fourth chapter, time will pass where Naruto will return as a student in Kuoh Academy. Also the story on what happened in the Underworld with him will be written along with the story where the people involve with the past Naruto thought about him when they see the new Naruto.
