Nine Tails Tales- Commissar Rising Chapter 0

958- M41- Desolatia Segmentum Ultima

Naruto's first thought as he came to is," Owwwww my head hurts so much. "And then as that thought finished hundreds of scenes began rushing through his mind. Fancy dinners with a huge man and woman draped in golden robes sitting at the head of a table. Others of him with a tutor, a gangly man who would hit him up the side of the head if he answered a question wrong. Ten years of memories rush through him and he begins to hyperventilate for a moment. Naruto and the young boy named Samual were the same. He looks down and sees the blood that had previously been flowing out of a wound on his chest and in his stomach. Naruto flashes back to the moment that he had almost died both here and in his previous life, stabbed through the chest. He said to himself, "Welp that sucked. Thanks, Kurama, I bet that took a lot out of you. "

A deep voice came back from the back of his head, "Yeah that Gene-stealer took out almost all your lower organs and knocked you out. We aren't in our previous state so I can't do this all that often. Amaterasu limited me when we transferred over."

Naruto looked at the room around him it had been a well-appointed stateroom from a previous time, now covered in blood and las bolt holes in the walls a painting of two older adults one a man weighing upwards of 600 lbs. and a woman almost as big with giant white wigs on their heads was scratched from top to bottom the body of a Gene-stealer cultist was dead on the floor next to the squad of guards that had tried to protect the heir to the family were spread out around him. He stood up with difficulty and moved to take the armor of the smallest of the guards, a simple vest with armor plates inside, it not having saved him as he had no head. Naruto pulled it over his head, it being still too big. The vest contained a holster on the right side with a Las Pistol and two grenades of unknown variety. Memories flowed through him of his Cadian tutor who had drilled into him for the last couple of years how to assemble a Las- Weapon. The pistol was the only usable one in the room. He moved to the door and heard a scream from the room next door. Hundreds of memories flashed through him of a young girl with pink hair his age. His adoptive sister Mei's room was next door. He rushed out of his room Las-Pistol drawn and entered the room next door. Very similar to his room but slightly less ostentatious. Inside was Mei throwing various mechanical bits and bobs at the Cultist wielding a huge knife. He had just taken a giant scanning device to the head as Naruto entered and he took a breath and fired a burst of three shots. One in the wall, and two hits to the head. The cultist drops to the ground. Mei rushes to his side crying, " Narutoooo …"

Mei a young girl with pink hair, goggles on her head, and cross-shaped pupils stared him in the eyes with worry, "What's going on who are these guys and that monster I saw in the hallway."

He hugs her and says, "There there it's ok, everything will be ok, alright gather all the things you'll need I doubt we will be coming back and we need to get going. The big one will probably be back soon after all that racket."

She, after a few more moments of crying, gets up and slowly begins grabbing some clothes and her important "devices" that she had been working on over the last year or so. She put them in a duffel bag she had, and they were ready to go. He grabs the pistol off the hip of the Cultist, a very not well-kept Stub-Pistol, and hands it to Mei. He whispers, "Here you go see if you can do anything with it while we go, it has a magazine of ten and an extra right here. Hopefully, you won't need it. "

He and Mei headed back into his room for him to gather some of his things, a pouch of Shuriken he had made and his datapad that had all of the work he had to do so his lazy parents didn't have to. Reports, access to accounting, everything so they could live in luxury.

The two young heirs to the noble family now have to enter the vast hallways and thousands of rooms of the Governor's Palace of Desolatia. Behind them, they hear a screech that seems to pierce their eardrums. They began rushing through rooms and hallways attempting to keep their distance from whatever had begun chasing them.

The scene changes to that of the vast open chamber to enter the Governor's mansion, a full platoon of Valhallan Guardsmen is moving through the space clearing small spaces that an enemy could be hiding in. Another Platoon is guarding the massive twenty-foot-tall door and the third is standing around with the Red Garbed monster of a man standing in the center of the room. Standing at 6'5 and built like a Leman Russ he stands out. He says into the Vox he was holding, "This is Commissar Cain we have entered the Palace and it's not a good sight in here, the Genes-stealers have slaughtered their way through everyone we have seen. "

In the distance he hears Las-Pistol fire, "Alpha moves in see what you can find out, if there are survivors we are obligated to assist. "

The Platoon guarding the door moved to cover the positions of the Platoon of troops looking into the small spaces and moved into the western part of the building. Cain says, "Alpha I'll be joining you, but begin your push. The priority target is to find the Governor, his wife, and their heirs. While there are other distant relatives command would like to save who we can."

He continues to talk into the vox for a few more moments and then hangs up pulls his pistol out and follows up behind his men the Las fire getting louder and louder.

POV- Naruto

Rooms flashed by as the two were running from the seven-foot-tall abomination of flesh that chased them. A cycle had emerged, they would get most of the way through a room, the Stealer would break open the door or a wall in a few instances and Naruto would fire off a few shots and in the heat of trying to survive to miss most of them. The hits he did manage to get would heal almost as quickly as the damage was done. The being was herding them somewhere every time they would try to angle toward the front of the building to try to escape another Cultist would emerge and begin trying to kill them, way more easily dispatched but then the Stealer began to catch up. Naruto decided it was time to finally make or break this situation. Thankfully up ahead was one of the fifty vaults in the building to hold all the family's "wealth". Naruto moved quickly through three rooms and made a break for the Vault. Using a command on his data pad the vault opened and inside it was almost empty, but with the way the building was designed there was a long hallway with no rooms coming out from it. Naruto sat Mei down and she handed the Pistol up to him having been working her magic on it whilst they were running. It was now gleaming and clean. Now armed in both hands he readied himself for the final confrontation. As he leaned down on a table aiming ahead of himself the Gene-stealer appeared and with it a large group of Cultists also armed. They charged and Naruto opened fire full auto on both weapons.

POV Switch- Commissar Cain.

He and his men had been following this line of carnage for ten minutes clearing room by room and finishing off anyone left around. Squad 1 and 2 were clearing the hallway parallel with them and the gunfire was getting closer now. He stepped over the corpse of a Cultist who had a serrated dinner knife thrown through his neck and was stuck to a wall. Seemingly stuck there after a heavy impact had hit them.

The Guardsman next to him said," Whoever this is that we are following did a lot of damage we should thank them."

Cain responds," Yes indeed I count ten cultists and one Pure strain who was too wounded to continue. We need to hurry up and catch up before they are killed if it's who I think it is."

In the distance the weapons fire changes, the heavy beat of a Heavy Stubber now going off. Cain calls over the vox, "Squad 1 and 2 follow us in and cover our back we need to rush this now I imagine if they needed that kind of firepower things are getting bad."

POV Switch- Naruto

"Great job getting this out of the crate this should keep these beasties off our back for a moment." He is lying down prone with the Heavy Stubber on its tripod set up blasting away into the hallway cutting down the odd cultist who was still standing around the first Pure Strain who had taken the initial blast straight to the face.

Naruto was very thankful his family were weapon smugglers these days since the Imperial Tithe had taken much of their taxes the last few years. He threw out the two grenades he had taken from the bodies of his guards from earlier. Blasting a group of Cultists off their feet and the other a hole in the wall. The issue of that now out of that hole was a pair of Pure Strains who were wounded but very angry. And behind them the largest one they had seen yet, and it had a weirdly huge brain. They charged and took the last ten rounds of the belt he had fed into the Stubber. Naruto switched to the two pistols now reloaded and burned holes in the hides of the three beings. But they kept coming. The two guns running dry, Naruto pulls out a Kunai he had in his pocket. He looks over at the wide-eyed Mei, "Mei close your eyes and don't look and know that I love you."

And So, he moved to cover the door, and ready to face down the three enemies he raised his kunai to his head in a defensive posture and screamed, "You won't be taking this world that easy."

And just as the three were about to reach out for the boy Las and Melta fire is seen from the back as two squads of Imperial Guard open up on the beasts. Naruto jumped to the side to cover Mei as the bolts of light came in. By the time the fire stopped, Naruto looked up again. The three monstrosities were stains on the walls and shadows on the Plush carpet.

Naruto looks over, " Uncle Ci, it's you ."
