Motivation for it is dead.

Only this concept is left.

So let's get to Winter's chapter.


This couldn't be any more tedious… How did this still happen?

Join the military. Get away from her duties at home. Lead a life on her terms.

No longer having to deal with her father…

Exhaling in annoyance, gingerly lifting on the control stick as she stared through the cockpit's window in the clear blue skies, she scoffed at her thoughts. Hardly… How could I forget my father is still the main contributor to the military… There is no escaping him…

This airship. A product of her father's specifically designed for his needs and luxuries.

This assignment! Shipping high-demand Dust under the guise of using the military to protect their investment and, therefore, the entirety of Atlas!

Gnashing her teeth and snarling, Winter Schnee deeply inhaled in an attempt to relax. Instead, it only further irritated her! She would have been doing these things if she never left home!

Nothing changed… Her cold eyes shimmered as she leaned back in the comfortable pilot seat, staring into the wild blue yonder over the drab sands outside of Vacuo before exhaling again. "Everything I do leads me back to that man… Can I even take control of my own destiny?"

Checking the gauge and having a good feel for the turbulence, she activated the auto-pilot, feeling it was safe enough, and leaned back in her chair. Closing her eyes while taking controlled, measured breaths, Winter opened her eyes and gazed into the heavens she soared above.

I pray Weiss can do what I have failed to do… And make a name for herself outside their father… And his tarnishing of our Grandfather's name. Winter closed her eyes again, allowing herself a minute of relaxation on this trip.

If only she could afford some while she was home…

A thunderous crack ripped her from her rest and jostled her out of her chair and into the controls before a sucking air pulled at the back of her neck.

Snapping her head back to take a measure, Winter's eyes shimmered as she withstood the vacuum of wind dragging her clothes. Something had pierced the hull?! Was someone using artillery against her all the way out here?

Disengaging autopilot as she slid back in her seat, she took control and cursed. There was barely enough control left. Whatever hit damaged the systems… There was only one option. She was going to have to guide the ship to crash landing.

Slipping on her headset while flicking several other knobs and various buttons, she activated the radio while tightly holding onto the yoke, attempting to guide the ship down. "Mayday! Mayday! Altitude dropping steeply! Requesting rescue for one passenger on Atlas Cargo Ship designated S-01! Coordinates are as follows: Latitude and Longitude approximately negative twelve, negative eight three. I repeat…"

"Mayday, mayday!"


Everything hurt so much… Especially his arm… That felt like it got blown off…

Still slightly better than the first time he used the Rasenshuriken without throwing it… That was an agony he never wanted to experience again.

Every fiber of his being ached. Drawing breath was a struggle.

He gasped and wheezed for breath as golden whisps dispersed around him. An intense heat sweltered and burned through his thick clothing. Ugh, did he get blasted into a desert? Yeah, this felt like Suna…

"Sasuke, you're a dick…" Naruto muttered, his eyes flickering as an intense brightness blinded him. "Swear to my ass, I'm gonna kick your mom…"

Kid, think your brain broke… And I might have to break it some more after what just happened.

Naruto winced at the volume of Kurama's voice. Why was it so loud? His head was throbbing already…

Okay, I'm not that loud, brat! You want me to get loud!

No! Naruto motionlessly panicked, only a grimace expressing on his features, his head failing to shake more than to lay limply into what felt like scorching sand. Gah, this sucks! Tell me I broke him as much as he did me! Gonna drag his ass home the moment I can get back on my feet! Give 'em an earful, too!

Job successful on that front, from what I could tell. He looked as bad as you did before… Well before the world imploded.

Naruto's eyes snapped open, ignoring the blistering and blinding light that burned his retinas as he stared directly up into the sun, hanging directly overhead, his entire body refusing to move in any other fashion. "What the fuck?! I need an explanation! Now!"

Not your entire world, mind you… Just a good chunk of it. That final clash you two had ripped a hole in the space/time continuum and…

"Speak plainly, Kurama!" Naruto spat before grimacing as the wad dribbled down his chin. "Ugh… So that's how that feels… Gross."

It's complicated to explain how to get more simplified that you broke your world open and punched each other across dimensions!

Naruto repeatedly blinked. "What?"

Dammit, boy!

"Mah, I got what you meant by that…" Naruto blanched at Kurama's voice, staring across the rolling dunes of the desert he had landed in. "What I'm questioning is how?!"

Given the power generated between the two of you and the literal fusion of your chakra in that clash, I'm surprised it didn't do more! We should have been obliterated!

"Fuck…" Naruto groaned, his head barely lifting from the sand as he attempted to lift himself. "Guess we should consider ourselves lucky… Ugh, why is it so hard to move?"

Besides being exhausted to the point of chakra exhaustion, having fought for several days in a row, and having your arm splattered into thousands of pieces? Oh, I wonder why, brat!

"I get that I'm battered beyond recognition, but… What now?!" Naruto's eyes snapped over to the right side of his body before he let loose a string of swears. "Fuck me! Sasuke, you dick! I hope your arm ruptured too, you cunt!"

For what it's worth, it did.

"Good!" Naruto forcefully rolled over onto his stomach and, with great strain, every muscle aching against his movements, pushed himself off the blistering sand. "Ugh, gonna give him another beating for this… Maybe the lesson will sink in…"

Need to find him first… And where we are at, for that matter. I sense a positively negative energy generating from that smoke debris in the distance. A fire… Huh, that's a peculiar… Let's hurry over there and figure out what's going on.

"Guess I don't have much of a choice," Naruto muttered, squinting before an odd expression filled his face as something pressed and flattened on the top of his head. "What the…"

One more thing… This world seems to have a strange aura to it. Not sure what it is… But the moment we got here… You now have fox ears like mine.

"WHAT?!"


Why were there so many crawling over the desert?!

Her breath steadily increased as she sucked in oxygen, her eyes shifting from around the wreckage of her airship. There were too many around! Their numbers just kept growing! She was going to get overwhelmed if this continued!

Gritting her teeth, bolting through the sands in a blur, her rapier cut through her targets like butter, their black bodies dissolving into smoke. The creature encircled her as she held her blade close to her chest, a sigil forming before her. Several Grimm burning of crystalized energy erupted from the seal, charging toward the swarm of Grimm coming for her.

This day had gone from bad to worse. How did it come to this?!

Bitterly swallowing her spite, her eyes glowing vividly as she cut down the upcoming horde without wasting a motion, Winter calmly stood and waited for the next horde. Couldn't afford to spend any unnecessary energy… Even if she did survive this onslaught of Grimm, where they were at their most dangerous…

Surviving the desert of Vacuo was no simple task. She only hoped her crash coordinates were good enough…

Was that an orb of pure energy flying through the air in her general direction? No, toward the horde of Grimm… Was that visible wind generated around it?!

Was there a Maiden here?!

"Get the fuck out of here, damn demons!"

As the orb crashed into the ground next to several Grimm attempting to avoid it, the following detonation. It swallowed them whole as a slicing gale ripped around and severed all Grimm near the rupture.

Atomizing every Grimm caught within.

Barely able to withstand the rush of cutting wind, her feet slid while digging her heel. She could feel the wind cuts generating on her fair skin as it rushed all around her and pushed her back.

What in the world was this? Could possibly do such a…

"Coming in hot!" A voice echoed overhead.

Winter rapidly glanced up, watching a blonde Faunus, with what looked to be fox features, dropped from the heavens above to land…

Crash into a heap next to her.

"Son of a…!" Naruto bitterly repressed his choice of words, his leg giving out as he landed before growling as he attempted to pick himself back up. "Today has been a day, let me tell ya…"

Winter's lip quivered at his peculiar phrasing. Yet she couldn't help but agree with the sentiment. It had been a day.

At least someone was here to fight this battle with her.

"It has… You look like you have seen better days." Winter grimaced, noticing his condition and the crimson elixir staining the sands beneath him, gushing from the stump of his right arm. "Are you well enough to keep fighting."

"I was born for battle. This ain't gonna slow me down." Naruto snarled, his cerulean eyes flashing red momentarily, feeling Kurama's chakra flowing through his system while attempting to keep his body stable and give him enough for the fight.

A monumental task he was thankful for.

"I'm in a bad mood too, so these guys are perfect for me…" Naruto added, his eyes flickering as he tightened his lone fist. "I hate to keep them waiting, my fair lady…"

"So let's get wild!"


Another concept down and the main concepts that have been bugging me recently are done for now.

As always, if you like any of these concepts, only you have the power to turn them into a full story.

The more support one concept shows, the likelier it will be made into a story here in the future.

And like I said, I will take some ideas for concepts and work with them and if they work with me.

So for now, till the next time,

Peace my friends!
