OK, here's a Christmas present for you all, an update of all my stories. I did think of doing this tomorrow (24th) But figured you all would be busy with company, or going to visit family yourself and decided to do it tonight instead.
So I hope you all have a safe Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or whatever you celebrate, and if I don't update a story you'll read by then (I'll try to get Shinobi up before the 31, and the next Hero Rising will be on the 30th.) I hope you have a safe and Happy New Year.
And I apologize for this Chapter and Naruto on Board's Ch, got some freezing rain on Wednesday, and yesterday that made me really rush through this and that one due to them being the last to work on.
Beta: ANUBIS the god-king.
Chapter XVIII.
Last Time.
A glint came from the trees as Hunter took a step back from a shot. In the trees, Naruto, on top of the one in the back re-chambered another bullet with the bolt as he rests his sniper rifle on a limb. He looked through the scope and took another shot. Hunter ran back before going to the side of the arena, slid on one knee, and shot another arrow that exploded near Naruto who didn't flinch.
"That's my student!" Sunny yelled out pumping her fist as Vajo sighed and pinched his nose.
"Sit down Sunny."
"No way! One of the few snipers who entered is fighting!"
Back to the fight, Natsu jumped over Amaz's staff and punched him back. Shiki then kicked him off the arena resulting in a ring out. Hunter ran into the trees and hit a tripwire.
BOOM!
And an explosion sent him back to the edge before Naruto dropped down and kicked him out of bounds. Haru clashed with Elec having electricity explode in the air Natsu and Shiki attacked Azure back to the edge before Naruto's trident hit him in the chest sending him out of bounds. All four ran at Elec and sent him out of bounds as well.
"Winners Team SHNN!"
Port announced as the stadium cheered.
Now.
Arena.
"Team JNPR of Beacon versus Team BRNZ (Bronze) of Shade!"
Naruto looked at Team BRNZ as the fields were being chosen.
The first is a young man with dark purple eyes and short black hair that graduated to gray with his hair slicked toward his left. He's wearing a sleeveless top that graduated from gray to purple, a purple scarf, black pants with bronze kneecaps and a bronze buckled black belt, and a dark purple scarf that wrapped around his right leg and black boots with studded strap detailing. He also had three black straps, one studded, on his left arm.
The next is a dark-skinned young man with green eyes and brown hair styled in cornrow dreadlocks tipped in gold clasps. He's wearing a green vest buckled closed on his left shoulder, over a black T-shirt and loose white pants rolled up to his knees. He also has on a pair of fingerless gloves with white armor pieces that were the holsters for his weapon and olive canvas sneakers.
The third teammate is a dark-skinned young man with green eyes and brown hair styled in cornrow dreadlocks tipped in gold clasps. He's wearing a green vest buckled closed on his left shoulder, over a black T-shirt and loose white pants rolled up to his knees. He also wore a pair of fingerless gloves with white armor pieces that were the holsters for his weapon and olive canvas sneakers.
And the final member is a young girl with light tan skin, dusky rose hair, and gray-blue eyes. She's wearing a red and white hoodie with blue tracksuit pants and a distinctive black beanie that covered her left eye. She also wore a large black scarf and red canvas sneakers.
As each team readies themselves, a circle of holographic roulettes starts spinning frantically through various symbols and colors before finally landing on a green pine tree and a gray thunderstruck mountain. With these random selections, half of the field opens to reveal a tree-filled forest, while the other raises a small rocky outcropping to fill in the circle.
"3... 2... 1..."
Jaune then raised his sword. "Come on guys!"
"BEGIN!"
All four members of JNPR charge forward, but only three fighters from BRNZ do the same as May turns around and heads into the trees, cocking her rifle.
In the center of the field, Brawnz delivers a knee kick to Pyrrha's shield that sends her skidding back, right before she blocks the claws on his fists with her xiphos. She jerks her sword away and makes him leap back, just as May jumps up into the branches of the forest with the bladed butt of her rifle.
Ren readies StormFlower to attack Nolan, who almost gets blindsided by Nora's swing with Magnhild before he ducks under the attack and attempts to hit her with his cattle prod. May aims her spot and manages to fire off two rounds near Ren, destroying the rocks behind him.
Jaune manages to block the buzz saw glove of Roy with his shield before he notices the bullets flying and sees the glint of the gun in the leaves.
Ren glances back at his leader as a shot hits the ground by his feet. He and Nora start running back into the mountains as Jaune and Pyrrha cover their escape by blocking the bullets with their shields. The four leap over a rocky outcropping for cover.
May gets even higher in the tree and smiles from behind her scope as she looks at the fight belowBrawnz and Pyrrha continue to duke it out while Nolan slowly advances on Ren when he slides into his path. The prod-wielding warrior looks back at the trees and nods to his hidden ally, who shoots at Ren's feet again and makes him jump around trying to dodge them.
Just as he lands, Nolan hits him upside the head with his weapon and can miss the retaliatory kick with another blow to the knee and a final hit to the chest using the business end of his prod. Electricity shoots through Ren's body before he collapses to the ground beside his childhood friend.
Scowling, Nora takes a swing at Nolan, who promptly dodges it and again unleashes his weapon's power into her corset, though this causes a quite different reaction from the grinning redhead. Announcers Peter Port and Bartholomew Oobleck explain that Nora's Semblance allows her to produce and channel electrical energy to her muscles, giving her increased strength and speed.
Nolan finally takes his cattle prod away, but the damage is done: Nora flexes her arms as pink lightning is seen coursing through her body. Nolan attempts to lift his hands in surrender, but thunder starts sparking from Nora's Aura as she rushes at him.
Nora brings her hammer down and hits Nolan having him bounce back across the field, crashing through rocks. Jaune looks back at the mountaintop on his team's side as a dark storm cloud appears over it, crackling with lightning. He looks over at his energized teammate and she sprints off to start climbing the mountain.
As Ren distracts May, the remaining three members of JNPR run forward as Nora hops up and rapidly ascends the mountain. Roy throws the saws from his gloves into Jaune's shield, which still manages to bend the metal and slam the leader's defense in his face before the weapons return to their master. Pyrrha gets up close to him, and he delivers a series of spinning swings with his arms into Akoúo̱ as Jaune shakes off his disorientation and charges into battle yet again.
Pyrrha takes on both Brawnz and Roy, delivering a kick to one as she deftly dodges and blocks the discs of the other, throwing her javelin to distract Roy while she somersaults back to use both feet in landing a blow on Brawnz.
May attempts to shoot Ren while he dashes his way toward her position, leaping out of the way of her shots, the flying saws, and even sliding under Pyrrha before he runs at Nolan, weapons blasting until he is close enough to start swinging his blades away. He ducks and deflects each of the cattle prod's attempted hits until he manages to hold it in the pistol's blades and double-kicks his opponent.
Allowing him to catch Nolan's weapon on his own as the prod is forced onto Nolan's throat and leaves him trapped in a chokehold. Ren hides behind the teammate the sniper, who stops aiming at him and lifts her barrel to another target. The sniper spots Nora, who's about to reach the top, and aims but not before Ren attempted to warn Nora makes Jaune aware of the danger.
Jaune captures one of Brawnz's claws with his sword, giving him enough time to address the situation and order his partner to perform a special movement together. His partner rushes towards him, dodge-rolling to avoid a launched saw until she bounds over Brawnz and lands on Jaune's shield. He manages to throw her into the air with her shield raised to block the kill shot aimed at Nora.
This gives the redhead just enough time to reach the peak, and she lifts her hammer as a bolt of lightning hits the weapon directly. She changes it back into grenade-launching form and pops the front off to reveal six explosives that shoot out over the field in a heart-shaped formation onto the sniper. May leaps over to a nearby tree just as the one she was in goes up in pink flames, leaving only a giant scorch mark billowing smoke to block out the coughing May's view.
She jumps down from the branches just as her three teammates look up and behind them at Nora coming down on them like a meteor, slamming her hammer into the ground and sending the enemies back at the feet of their disoriented teammate. Jaune attempts to lead his teammates into finishing BRNZ off with code-named team attacks, "Flower Power" for Ren and Nora, and "Arkos" for himself and Pyrrha.
But his teammates do not understand his instructions, even though they went over this previously according to him. After failing to explain his battle plan to his teammates, he, in frustration, simply orders Nora to hit BRNZ with her hammer. Before anyone can react, Nora jumps over in front of Team BRNZ, then brings her hammer around to collide with all four screaming fighters as they soar straight into the force field surrounding the arena's rim, sliding down to the ground.
"And with that, it appears Team JNPR wins by knockout, literally!… Can someone go make sure they're okay?" Port asked before Oobleck nodded and spoke up.
"Ah, well, Vacuo fans are sure to be hurting after that one, but this next one will have them on the edge of their seats!"
"Team NDGO (Indigo) of Shade is certainly a crowd favorite, but these lovely ladies are going against some of the toughest, testosterone-filled teammates we've seen so far! I'm of course talking about... Team SSSN! (Sun) Sun Wukong and his team are certainly a force to be reckoned with, and although he'll be representing the Mistral Academy of Haven, I'm sure his friends and family back in Vacuo will be cheering him along!" Port said as Sun and Neptune walked out with their teammates.
The first has red hair that comes down over his right eye, with a complete undercut. There are several red markings around his left eye. He's wearing a green, mulberry, navy color feather earring on his left ear and has a red military pelisse-like jacket draped over the left side. He also has a gray bandanna around his neck.
On his right hand, he has a fingerless glove, and on his right bicep, a gray band. A white sleeveless shirt and light gray pants. He also wears a pair of long, brown, laced boots. Around his waist, he wears a brown belt and a slightly slanted gray belt that his weapon holster is attached.
And the next is a teenage boy with dark skin and gold eyes. His hair is sage green, and he appears to have tattoos of wings on his chest and tattoos of Roman numerals, matching those on his sword, around his neck. He's wearing a white long coat with asymmetrical sleeves, a green wing design similar to his tattoos, and no shirt underneath, displaying his tattooed chest.
His jacket also has a golden pauldron on his right shoulder and a golden cuff around his left wrist. He also has on a pair of black pants fastened by a white belt with a yellow buckle.
The first member of Team NDGO has lightly tanned skin, indigo hair brushed over to her left side, and olive eyes. She's wearing a high-necked, tight-fitting gray shirt with dark gray accents, along with a long, lilac coat with one long sleeve and the other rolled up. She also has on a leather bandolier with a steel gray pauldron on the right shoulder, which also appears to hold her weapon.
A slanted dark gray belt on the second notch alongside a breastplate that matches her pauldron. Gray pants with dark gray boots with light gray laces alongside dark gray forearm-length gloves with the left glove being fingerless and having a cuff. She also has a dark gray band around her right elbow with a smaller band on her upper left arm.
The next is a young woman with lightly-tanned skin, dirty blonde hair swept to the left, and violet eyes. She's wearing a sleeveless green dress with an asymmetrical hem, what appears to be a golden scale one-sleeved high neck top underneath her dress, a lighter green sarong tied around her hips, and a golden spaulder.
Two thin chain loops run from the front of her spaulder and around her torso to the back. A pair of over-the-knee scale stockings and armored calf-high boots that match her spaulder through the rear of her calves are exposed and a simple chain bracelet with a ring connected to it on her right hand as well as a brown band around her left wrist with two beaded bracelets.
The third is a young female with lightly tanned skin, curly black hair pulled back from her face into ringlets, and brown eyes with purple eye shadow. She's wearing a black corset dress with a dark gray front, purple hem, and purple laces on the back. A light gray top with short sleeves and black cuffs. Her top also has a high gray collar that appears to be armored.
Her belt is a long purple ribbon edged in gray, with a bow in the back and tied in the front, and connected to the belt are a pair of armor tassets that also act as storage for her weapon. She also has light gray stockings and pale gray ballet flats, with ribbons around her lower legs.
And the final member is a young woman with fair/lightly tanned skin, brick red hair left loose with swept fringe to the right, and olive green eyes. She's wearing a teal blue waistcoat with two long tails and a dark brown strapless top. A cropped sleeveless vest of the same color is worn over the top and waistcoat.
Her skirt is pale green and graduates to a cream with a zigzagged pointed hem accompanied by an open front layer that graduates from brown to light brown. A pair of navy belts crossed in the front and back and a pair of sky blue layered spaulders, held in place by a dark brown leather strap across her chest. Her shoes are a pair of simple, navy blue ankle boots with folded over top and brick red lining. She also has a navy blue choker.
The field is half desert and half tropical ocean, scaring Neptune who has a fear of water.
"3… 2… 1… Begin!"
Neptune scrambles to the top of the opposing team's terrain to get away from the water, to the confusion of both teams. Dew threw Sage with her spear clear out of the ring by creating a huge gust of wind and dust devils while Octavia easily navigates the terrain thanks to her Sandskating Semblance.
With help from Neptune, Sun manages to defeat Octavia Ember using his nunchucks rather easily, evening out the match. Scarlet is thrown onto the mast of the shipwreck by Dew's spear but manages to land to safety thanks to his Gliding Semblance and is pursued by Nebula. He bests her in a sword duel, however, atop the mast of the shipwreck, throwing her into the water, before immobilizing Gwen above him using a grappling shot from his flintlock pistol before landing on the ground under her.
However, after doing so, Gwen's knives fall out of their pockets and onto Scarlet. Scarlet, noticing this, panics and poses in response, his pose luckily saving him from every one of the knives. Sun attempts to take out Dew by throwing a pair of coconuts from a tree at her, but she deflects the attack towards Scarlet, hitting him in the face and groin and exhausting his Aura, eliminating him from the match.
As the remaining three members of NDGO, who are still undefeated, regroup in the ocean, Sun finally convinces Neptune to gingerly approach the water's edge. Using electricity from his trident, Neptune electrifies all three opponents in one powerful strike, ending the match.
"That concludes the matches for today. Please leave the Coliseum IN A CALM AND ORDERLY FASHION!"
"Come on, let's go congratulate 'em," Yang said as her team and Naruto's walked out.
"WHISKERS!"
Nora jumped onto Naruto wrapping her arms and legs around him forcing Naruto to grab her by the butt.
"H-Hey, Nora." He stuttered as she smiled at him after leaning back. "Congratulations."
"Thanks, Whiskers, let's celebrate!"
"… OK," Naruto said before being pulled away by the girl.
Later, they're at another stall eating pancakes. "And then I did the final moves!" Nora said mouth full of pancakes as she was going over her fight play-by-play.
"Yeah, Nora… I was there." Naruto smiled as he took another bite. "It was something. I know I didn't do too much but I'm a sniper, my role for my team is to provide cover, recon, taking care of the back line."
"Uh-huh." She replied not paying too much attention. "This is a nice date." She finished as Naruto was taking a drink.
And spat it out. "W-What? Date?"
"Yeah, that's what you call a guy and gal hanging out."
"I-I wouldn't call it a date." He said reaching for his fork.
"If you want me to forgive you for cupping my butt you will."
"… OK, it's a date." He finished with a sigh before smiling as she followed with one of her own.
"Can anyone join this celebration?"
Turning, they saw their teams walking over. "You mean our date?" Nora asked having Naruto sigh.
The others sat down, with Pyrrha sitting beside Naruto on the other side as the two teams talked about the upcoming matches for the doubles. "I guess your opponents will be pancakes if you're using the pancake queen here." Naruto joked to Pyrrha as she and Nora were going into the double round.
Nora laughs and wrapped her arm around his shoulder. "I knew there was another reason to keep you."
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.
Beta: ANUBIS the god king.
The Shinobi poll of if Naruto should get a Devil Fruit or not is up and will stay up until the 1st (Jan 2023) so make sure you vote if Naruto should have one or not, The choices are of course Yes. Or No, his jutsu and Sage chakra/mode are enough plus no time to really train with it.
ALSO, we're thinking of adding Neo to the pairing due to some reviews and PMs let us know in a review or PM if you would like her to be/or not.
OK, here's a Christmas present for you all, an update of all my stories. I did think of doing this tomorrow (24th) But figured you all would be busy with company, or going to visit family yourself and decided to do it tonight instead.
So I hope you all have a safe Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or whatever you celebrate, and if I don't update a story you'll read by then (I'll try to get Shinobi up before the 31, and the next Hero Rising will be on the 30th.) I hope you have a safe and Happy New Year.
And I apologize for this Chapter and Naruto on Board's Ch, got some freezing rain on Wednesday, and yesterday that made me really rush through this and that one due to them being the last to work on.
Again, the Next to be updated will hopefully be Shinobi but maybe Hero Rising next Friday.
Nothing else to say.
Talk To You Later,
Lone Wolf Out.🐺
