HEY YO! Man it's good to be back in 2025 writing again baby! Now I pulled out my old Wii the other day, which I only own to play my Gamecube games and one of my favorites from the time was Skies of Arcadia: Legends.
If you've never played this game then you don't know what you're missing. I have a love of the old games. Going back to my very first game system the Saga Saturn. I have a love for some classics such as JSRF, Skies of Arcadia, Monster Rancher (Yes it was a game), and many more. There are a ton of series that I love but can never do proper justice too with writing them out. IE Pokemon and Digimon. But I digress—I am here for now.
Oh, my bad if you are all wondering, why it took so long to post this stuff? It's a combination of Holidays, work, and my wedding Anniversary, and seeing as I didn't write a single word until AFTER December, yeah I got some catching up to do. As well as a Naruto Project that will come out in a few months.
I do not Own Skies of Arcadia Legends or Naruto.
I'm not a Pirate!" speech
I'm a ninja! Thought

Chapter 1: Skies
The world of Arcadia was a mysterious and wondrous place. The six moons that could be seen high in the sky were the Green, Red, Purple, Blue, Yellow, and Silver moon. Each moon holds the power over an element and an aspect of life itself. For Thousands of years, the people of Arcadia have looked to the moons in worship as they provided the means to live for them.
However, over countless centuries, the skies of the world have given rise to those who deem the skies theirs to rule. Empires, Kingdoms, and Coalitions spread across the moons, but to those who knew, they knew the skies were free. No one owned them. For those who knew this simple truth, they were called Pirates.
And this is the tale of A boy with a Dream, A girl with a passion, a mysterious girl on a mission, and a strange boy Lost on the Road of Life.
Location: Skies under the Silver Moon
Place: Mid-Ocean
Time: an hour before Sun up
The silver moon was high in the sky this night, it was also as clear as it ever was on this spring night in the skies of the mid-ocean. A perfect night to sail
A small ship streaked through the air at speeds that would make many in the world wonder how in the six moons did the tiny thing move so fast? Especially as there were only two occupants aboard the ship.
The first is a beautiful girl with a curvy figure, not athletic, soft muscles that were not overly used to a lot of work but not weak. She stood at 5'4, moon pale skin, large C-cup breasts, green eyes, and blonde hair. wearing blue pendant earrings, an ankle-length sleeveless white dress slit up each side to nearly halfway up the thigh for mobility, white tights that shimmered slightly, giving off a silvery glow, and white boots with gold cuffs, sleeves that stay at mid-arm despite no visible means of support, and a gold headband from which depends a gauzy cream veil that covers her collar-length hair. There is a triangular cutout in her dress at the top of her breasts. arcane markings on her forehead and shoulders, of unknown origin and purpose.
The other was a young man who was handsome in his own right his face was a bit round, even if he was the same age as her. If he wasn't lying down inside of her ship the girl guessed he would stand about stood at 6' even. And was well-muscled from what she could see. Of his chest and stomach-which made her blush- Spikey blond hair was and from what she could see when she opened one eyelid his eyes were a beautiful sapphire blue, his face was decorated with three whisker-like marks on each side. Not as if they were drawn on, but rather they were scars on his face, and they had been cut there. He wore a damaged orange and black jumpsuit with the pants being black with the right leg missing, the jacket was orange with black sleeves, and the right sleeve was rolled up revealing something akin to a sun tattoo on his palm with several more tattoos going up until it reached the inside of his elbow, his stomach had a swirl like tattoo on it and like the tattoo on his arm it was an intricate pattern.
The girl didn't think too much on the incident and acted quickly.
"Moons give me strength: Scari!" said the girl holding her hands out as a green circle appeared under the young man's body.
As a Mage of the Silver Moon, her specialty was... well it was best not to think of it, but she was still well-versed in the basics of all moon magics, mostly support as she had always known peace in her life. She had been sailing across the skies when she saw what it happened. A portal opened up high above her and he was thrown out of it by a woman who seemed to have horns but he had been golden at the time and he was losing conciseness fast, so the girl chose to turn her ship sharply and catch the young man before he fell into the deep sky. He had been on the verge of death and despite her not being very good in the usage of Green Magic she had managed to cast Scari to stabilize his health.
The girl looked at the boy and tried to understand him. He had no affiliation to any of the moons as far as she could tell and his natural alignment was strange. He favored Wind magic and void magic.
"But that is impossible," thought the Girl
She was brought out of her thoughts as a large ship appeared behind her. She turned and looked at the ship in awe. In her 17 years of life she had never seen something do deadly and dangerous. Something about the crest, two serpents coiling around a sword sent a shiver down her spine. She had to push her ship to it's limit to get away from these people.
She barely got this thought out when they fired upon her and knocked her out. She landed next to the control of her tiny ship and hit her head, knocking her out. The ship floated as the steel behemoth pulled up beside her. Men and women clad in blue armor used hooks to pull the ship beside them. They pulled the girl out, but were confused.
A man in a slightly different set of armor looked at the boy and frowned. He turned to one of the men. "Get the Admiral and Vice-Captain. They will want to see this," said the Man.
A crewman saluted. "Yes Sir!" yelled the soldier before running to the bridge.
He was gone for maybe five minutes before he came back with the Admiral and Vice-captain. The Vice-captain wore a uniform similar to theirs, but the color of his armor was more silverish. A testament to his service to the Valuan Empire as serving as the vice-captain to one of the Admirals was only reserved for Seven men and women in the entire empire.
Next was the Admiral himself. Alfonso, the Commander of the Mid-Ocean Fleet. A Valuan Noble and relative to the royal family. Alfonso was taller than most having been raised on good diet, compared to regular soldiers who were mostly from the lower class. Blonde hair and blue eyes. To many women he would be a quite the catch. Even with the punchable face he had his personality was that of a typical Valuan Noble. A white Admiral's Light armor, a Shoulder cape on the right side, black pants, boots, and on his side was a rapier. A weapon of nobles. As arrogant as they came he was just a brat of 24 years young had had hardly spent a year in the Naval Academy, before he was promoted to Commander and later Commander. He barely served in the fleet for two years, before he was promoted to Admiral at Empreasses Teodora's request.
As the Valuan ship rose slower into the air, Alfonso smirked as he thought of the reward the Empeross would give him. As a High Noble, it was through his connections that he was able to get his position as the 1st Admiral Of the Valuan Armada, the second highest-ranked Admiral in the entire Fleet without having to climb through the ranks without working too hard. Commanding the Mid-Ocean Fleet was a job for Captains, Commanders, and Lieutenants. For an Admiral of his caliber to personally patrol this far from the Capital was a joke. Perhaps he would ask to be stationed as the Admiral of the Valuan-Nasr Straight. of course he would have to wrestle it from that meat-head, but it would be worth it.
While capturing the girl was a massive boon to not only his personal coffers and Valua as a whole, the boy was unexpected surprise. He was injured and as far as Alfonso knew the boy wasn't a known pirate. Perhaps he was a bodyguard or a drifter that got caught in their web. Whatever the case may be he could be of use in the factories or even the Colosseum if he could get his father to sponsor the boy as one of his fighters.
The shop rocked making Alfonso grab the rail. "REPORT!" yelled Alfanso.
"We took a hit! Cannon fire off the port-side!" yelled one of the men.
"What! How is that possible! We would have known if a ship was there!" yelled Alfonso as they were only 15 minutes away from sun up!
"They came from the lower sky! Just below the clouds!" said the Vice-Captain!
"Damnit! Vice-captain get the girl and that young lad. We need to secure them and make haste to the lifeboats. Our mission is to secure a Silvite and we will not fail because of pirates. This is a tactical measure in case the defenders fail. All hands prepare to repeal borders!" yelled Alfonso.
"Yes Admiral Alfonso," said the Vice-Captain as he went to the brig and secured the two prisoners.
Back on the Deck
Hooks attached to the ship, making sure that the Valuan ship would not escape. From the crow's nest a figure jumped off and grabbed the rope, sliding the 20 yards across the gap that would send the figure into the Deep sky if he lost his grip. When he made it to the ship he landed.
"I love robbing you Valuans. You have the best stuff," said the young man.
"LIGHTS!" yelled a soldier.
The Floodlights came on upon the ship illuminating the figure as he rose from his kneeling position. At 17 years old he was already considered an Adult by the traditions and customs of those who resided under the light of the silver moon. He was maybe 5'10 and was quite lean compared to some of the more muscular members of the Dyne Family Pirate crew. To the few women he had met outside of the ladies of the island and his female crewmates, he was considered quite handsome with medium-length brown hair, brown eyes that shined with the excitement of the coming fight, and a scar on his left cheek. wearing a blue long-sleeved jacket with red parts over a black sleeveless t-shirt, a red scarf-like ascot, black pants, an oversized brown belt with a silver buckle, brown knee-length leather boots, a sky-blue translucent eyepatch lens over his right eye which he can use to magnify distant objects. His jacket sleeves are somewhat disconnected from the jacket, revealing a small part of his arms in the process. His weapon of choice was a pair of Cutless, however, the cutlass in his left hand was held by an elongated guard allowing for the holding of the blade along his forearm. Both blades were made from still, but thanks to moonstone technology the blade's edge itself was green, signifying that it currently held the power of the Green Moon.
A soldier grit his teeth. "Air Pirate scum Identify yourself.
The young man smirked. "My name is Vyse of the Blue Rouges and I'm here to relieve you of your valuables," said the now named Vyse.
"VYSE! You left without me... Oh hi, my name is Aika and we're robbing you," said Aika.
The figure that had landed next to the strapping young lad was a girl. Easily the same age as the boy. She was slightly shorter than he was at 5'6" apricot skin C-cup breasts a lean figure that showed off that she was flexible and athletic, brown eyes that showed all of her emotions, making it nearly impossible to hide them, and reddish-orange hair which she ties into two long, stiff braids. clothes Wearing a pair of red goggles which she wears perched on top of her head, blue pendant earrings, and a pendant of a face around her neck- a deity of some kind that was worshiped by those who were followers of the Red Moon such as Aika, a sleeveless yellow dress, an oversized blue belt with a silver buckle, dark short-shorts, a pair of knee high boots yellow boots similar toVyse's, a large yellow leather glove on her left hand,a blue wristband on her right wrist and a blue "utility" pouch on the back side of her belt, a brown armband on her left arm. Her physical beauty has attracted the attention of many men not from her homeland, but between her firey tomboy attitude and her ability to fight she was one tough customer if people thought Aika was an easy target. It also didn't help that in her left hand was a massive Blade boomerang in her hand. It was tented red to match the fire in her soul.
Two soldiers charged at the duo, but It was a moot point as Aika blocked the sword strike before she jumped backward allowing Vyse to slash both of them across the chest, despite them both being protected by armor and powered by the Yellow Moon, Vyse managed to change his blade to mid swing into the firy power of the red moon just as Aika changed to the toxic properties of the Green Moon and released the boomerang hitting both men with enough force in the heads to make the slashes to their chests and the blows to their head enough to end their lives. The duo had been raiders of the Dyne Pirate crew for years and according to the rules laid out by the Captain no raiders fought alone. Vyse and Aika had honed their skills as the best raiders and fighting Duo of the Dyne Family Pirates since they were 10 years old.
Being a pirate and soldier meant that one constantly faced life and death. As Blue Rouge's they tried to avoid killing if possible, but it wasn't always possible.
Other soldiers who were on deck looked at their fellows fall, before surrounding the duo.
"What are you going to do now Pirate scum it's Five on two!" yelled one of the soldiers as he raised his sword ready to strike.
A shot rang out and pierced his helmet, making him fall to the ground. Everyone looked at where the shot came from.
"I think you miss counted. There are only four of you," said the Man.
"Dad!" said Vyse looking at his father and the Captain of the Dyne Family Pirates.
Dyne looked like a much older version of Vyse, but instead of having his hair like his son's it was slicked backwards and a mustache on his face. He was also taller than Vice at 6'3 and a lot more muscular, even now in his 40's he was now starting to show the hint of a pouch on his muscular frame. He wore a black shirt, blue vest, blue pants, a brown glove on his left hand, and a gunslinger belt.
"How many times do I have to tell you, it's Captain when we're out sailing. Go and take care of the Commander of this ship.
"Aye aye Captain," said Vyse with a hint of sarcasm in his rebellious youth. "Let's go Aika!"
"Right behind you. See you in a bit Cap'n," said Aika winking at the others
Vyse and Aika rushed to a port hole and jumped into it and saw a few chests. They quickly raised them for a few Sacri crystals and a few hundred gold pieces.
The quickly found themselves in the center of the ship and looked around.
"So it's true pirate scum have infiltrated my ship You two should feel honored to be in our pressnse," said a man on the balcony overlooking Vyse and Aika. Over the Vice-Captain's shoulders were a girl in a silver dress and a boy in an orange and dirty clothes.
"Yeah right. I didn't think Valuan's took hostages," said Vyse.
"I have no need to explain myself to the likes of you scum. "Dispose of them!" Alfonso yelled
Two soldiers jumped over the rail and charged at Aika and Vyse. The orange haired girl blocked the attack with her boomerang as Vyse began to trade blows with his opponent, despite the skills of his opponent Vyse was sure that he was going to defeat his opponent before Aika Or so he thought. Despite her looks Aika was a lot stronger than she than she looked.
Aika paused the man away and gathered the power of the Red Moon in her right hand. "Moon's Give me Strength: Pyri!
A small fireball launched from her hand and impacted the chest of the soldier, and with his metal armor, the heat was much worse than it could have been trapped inside of his metal shell. He fell over dead from his burning lungs. As she happened Vyse kicked his opponent in the chest, before slashing his across the neck, nearly decapitating him. Following this Vyse and Aika ran up the stairs and looked at the man who had taken the girl and other young man. He looked at them both annoyed.
"Go ahead and take the ship. I can get another, but you will not delay my mission any longer," said Alfanso before they disappeared
Vyse cursed as they rushed to the door and found that it was locked. Alfonso mocked them from the otherside of the door. Aika grabbed Vyse's arm and pulled him to the side door and pushed on it. They didn't have time to bust the door down, but they could go around if they were fast enough.
Life Boat Bay
The massive bay door lowered. The sun had risen over the horizon and the prevailing winds would make for fair travels today. Several boats were there, but the boat that Alfonso would be taking was slightly larger and faster than the norm. A boat used to transport troops onto islands for quick raids
"Sir all preparations for our escape have been completes" said the Vice-Captain
"That is excellent. I have completed preparations on my end as well," said Alfonso.
The Vice-Captain turned to his commander and found a blade pointed at his throat.
"Admiral Alfonso! What are you doing!?" asked the painced Vice-Captain/
"I can't very well tell the Empeross I lost to Air pirates in a stirght up fight.
"This is madness Admiral! Noble or not you'll hang for this once the Lord Protector hears of this!" yelled Vice-Captain as he went to draw his short sword to defend himself.
Alfonso saw the move and with a quick slash sent the Vice-Captain over the end of the bay and screaming to his death in the Deep Sky.
He sheathed the rapier, the sign of nobles all across Valua. "And with this my reputation is safe. My dear Empress, When I learned of my Vice Captain's traitory I had no choice, but to dispose of him myself. Even in death you serve me well," said Alfonso with a smirk.
"So this is how Valuan's do business huh?" asked a voice behind him.
Alfonso turned around and looked at the pair of pirates he had seen in the storage area of the ship. The red haired female was tending to the pair of strangers while the boy was standing before them in a defensive stance.
"Now that we've captured the ship and these two the only thing life to do is handle you. My name is Vyse, remember it as I send you to the deep skies! En guade!" said the boy taking a guarded stance.
Alfonso grit his teeth so hard he was sure that he has created a tooth before smirking. "As if I, a Vaulan Noble and Admiral of the Mid-Ocean fleet would lower myself to fight you personally. If your so egar for a dual allow me to intorduce your oppenet. Come Antino!" yelled Alfonso.
Two large dents appeared in the door forcing Vyse and Aika to look at the doors, beofre a second impact send the large metal doors off their hinges and into the hanger. A large beast came into the room, covered in armor with the tow large shoulder horns seemingly shinging with the power of the Yellow Moon.
"What is that thing Vyse?" asked Aika rising to her feet.
"I don't know I've never seen anything like it," said Vyse.
"Really, these creatures are quite common on the continet of Valua. We call them War Beasts. This one is my personal beast. I had planned on leaving him here, but it seems I have a use for him after all. Antonio handle these fools while I escape!"
The large creature reared itself on it's hind legs and charged at Aika, who was still helping the two strangers. Aika's eyes widened.
"Aika!" yelled Vyse.
Before the creature could get within a few feet of Aika it was lifted off the ground with force and sent backwards, before it creased into the deck, its feet kicking as it rolled around to try and get back to it's feet, all the while yelling in pain. Vyse and Aika looked as the young man in Orange was standing up and rubbing his head.
"Hey asshole; if your going to wake me up you better be ready to pay for it!" yelled the young man.
"Woah!" said Aika in awe.
Vyse too was stunned like his oldest and best friend was. It wasn't impossible to say that it took either a really strong person or someone using Red Moon Magic to do something similar and considering most people only focused on the raw fire element of the Red Moon, it was safe to say that the man
"Impossible," said Alfonso looking at the younger man in awe.
The young man had been on death's door mere moments ago. He was sure to be a body headed for the deep sky, the underworld where the glory of the moons dared not reach
"You know it's been a long time since I was knocked out before a fight even starts," said the orange wearing young man as he picked up the dropped short sword and swung it a few times, testing the weight.
Now both sides were left with a dilemma, this young man was an unknown and it would be impossible for them to know whose side he was on. He didn't seem like he knew the girl or else he would have went on the offensive the moment he saw her in the hands of the pirates,
"Sir you have to help us!" yelled Alfanso catching the young man's attention. "These Pirates attacked our ship, killed our guard, and took my sister hostage. The beast you attacked is my personal war beast. Please help us!"
Aika and Vyse went on guard as they looked at the young man. He stared at them for a minute, before his eyes fell on the girl that seemed to be the cause of all of this mess. He seemed to be studying her intently, before he turned to look at the girl with that orange hair and fire in her eyes. He than looked at the boy whose determination seemed to match his own. Finally he turned to the man who had pleaded... no begged for help. His eyes were full of greed, his fear was heavy in the air... He reeked of a man whose soul already belonged to the Shinigami. He had all the cowardice of Orochimaru, but none of the skills the Legendary Snake Sannin had.
The young man turned to Alfonso and the yellow blade glowed blue for a moment. Wind and lightning fought for control. As the lade was made from strictly made from Metal and moonstones from the Valuan continent that any attempt to use other Moon Magic with said blade was doomed to fail.
"Wind Release: Slash!" yelled the young man slashing the blade at Alfonso. The blade shattered from the two moon energy's fighting for dominance over the blade
Alphonso cursed and managed to draw his blade just enough to defend himself, but he let out a yell of pain as his blade broke and shards of metal flow past his face and cut into his face, leaving blood dripping from three deep cuts around his left eye forcing him to close it. He put his hand over it as blood dripped through his fingers, staining his snow white gloves red.
Antonio rose to his feet and lightning began to charge up on his large shoulder horns before he unleashed it at Vyse. Vyse crossed his arms in defense and gritted his teeth. Aika rose and cast Scari on Vyse. The blond-haired haired before jumped and slashed at the War beasts legs cutting off the back leg and making the beast fall to the ground. But it was still dangerous as it charged up another thunder attack. It unleashed the attack as the Boy and Aika used a cross-guard formation to block the thunder attack as Vyse jumped over them and unleashed a slash, two spinning kicks and an uppercut slash, while he was up in the air and pulled both blades above his head. And dropped them on the head of the war beast.
"Cutleass fury!" yelled Vyse
Alfonso glared at the trio who had defeated his beast from the lifeboat, spacificlly he was looking at the boy in orange. "I won't forget this Pirate Scum. Vyse and Aika of the blue Rouges.
"The Names Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto remember it," said the now named Naruto.
"COWARD!" yelled Aika before she sighed and smiled. "Well even if he's a coward he's a rich one,"
Vyse smiled. "Good point. And it's been a while since we had a haul this big," said Vyse.
He and Aika turned to the strange duo. Not sure what to do with them. They looked at Naruto, who held the shattered blade in his hand and were unsure of what to make of him. Had it not been for him they would have been in trouble, yet he was still an unknown to them. A universal rule among pirates was that rival crews or not, once Valua and to a lesser extent Nasr and the Silver Moon Federation got involved, they were to work together to take down a common foe.
The doors to the docking bay opened and several men walked into the room. Captain Dyne, Vice-Captain Briggs, and Radier Mabel all walked into the room.
"Dad!" asked Vyse
Dnye sighed. "It's Captain, not dad. You were late reporting in Vyse so we had to come looking for you. The ship is ours and we are taking everything that isn't nailed down. But what do we do with our guest?" said Dyne looking at the boy in orange. His pistol held loose, but in such a way that it would only take a second for Dyne to become deadly with it.
Dyne was after all the most accurate gunsligner in the Mid-Ocean.
"He's kinda cute cap'n. Never seen him before. I'd hate to have to carve more scars into his face," said Mabel licking her cherry red lips as she unsheathed the dual knives on her thighs.
"What's it gonna be kid? You gonna surrender or do we have to do ya in?" asked Briggs.
Naruto narrowed his eyes at them. He didn't know much about them and his chakra wasn't working properly and Kurama wasn't responding to him at the moment, but he felt his chakra in his body. This place didn't feel right. Like the chakra of the world was all out of balance or outright missing.
The boy throw the broken sword into the wall of the ship and raised his hands.
Dyne put his gun away. "Smart move son. Briggs, Vyse secure the lad and take him to the brig of our ship. Aika, Mabel take the girl to the infirmary aboard the albatross I want a guard outside her room at all times. I'll oversee the moving of the loot to our ship once we're done here,"
"Aye Aye Captain," said the four as they hurried to fulfill their assigned tasks.
Once the four were gone Dyne examined the war beast having fought these things in the past and knew they were not to be traffiled with. It had several blade marks and cuts that he knew were from Vyse's sword and Aika's Boomerang, but there were also wounds consistent with the Wave or Wind and Water magic of the blue moon. Magic that was quite rare for those who resided under the Silver, Red, and Yellow moons. He walked over to the blade and pulled it from the wall he examined the broken blade with a critical eye. The broken tip was as blunt as a brick and the lad had been injured, yet if the wounds on the beast were consistent with Wave magic.
"Who are you lad?" asked Dyne as he looked at the door that they were taken through.
00000000000000000000
And cut. WOOOOO! That took a while to write. Now I love Skies of Arcadia and some terms might not be understood and I have no problem answering those qustions for anyone who asks.
