Kakashi: Who's that?
Sasuke: I... don't know.
The silohet in the middle jumped down from the waterfall to the lake at the bottom. He landed in a crouch, his head down to hide his identity, even though everyone there was either unconcious, wouldn't know who he was if they saw him, or already knew who he was.
Zyphron: Who's... Zyphron, was it?
???: That's your name, can't you remember?
The figure stood straight up, and showed his face to Zyphron.
Zech: You remember me, don't you?
Zyphron: I- You're- I can't quite place your name, but-
Zech: No worries.
'Sora' jumped down to join them.
Sora(Zech): Remember me?
Zyphron: Less than the other guy, but...
???: How about me.
The final, feminine figure floated down to join the two others. Zyphron stared in shock, and fell off of Behemoth, leanding face-first in the water, as the first ninja he reconized landed softly on the lakes surface, leaving little ripples to emulate her presence. Zyphron swam to the surface, crawled onto the lake, and rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw right.
Christyn(Zech): You remember me, don't you Zy honey?
Zyphron: C-c-chri-chris-christ-CHRISTYN!?!?!?
Then, it was like a wave of memories hitting Zyphron. His name flooded back to him, his tournament with his friends, his life in the the Sword Village, his training with Breydon, his huge crush on Christyn (which never really went away), his friends comming to his aide against the Kenkage, the first time he used his External Chakra Flow jutsu, his final fight with Zech, his first (and only) kiss with Christyn, and finally fading to white with his final attack against Zech. This all happened in nearly a second, and when it was over, Zyphron nearly fell again.
Zyphron: My name... Is Zyphron.
The true Zech smirked an evil smirk.
Zech: Yes it is, buddy-
Zyphron: But you... Are Zech. You... Are not my buddy.
Zech: Why aren't you my buddy, Zy?
Zyphron: You tried to kill me. All those years ago...
Sasuke: What's going on?
Kakashi: I don't know. They obviously know each other, from a long time ago. Let's not stick around-
Sasuke: Agreed! I don't want to have to fight against that kid, the other kid, who appearently tried to kill him, the two other's who decided to show up, or that, THING that outsized the Eight-tails like nothing!
Kakashi: Then collect Naruto and Bee and get them back to the Alliance.
Sasuke: So long as I'm gone!
Sasuke hoisted Naruto up onto his back, sped over to Bee, put him on his back as well, and ran off towards the Alliance.
Kakashi(To himself): It worries me that he know's where it is. Wait a second... WHAT HAVE I JUST DONE!?!?!?!
Sora(Zech): What about me? Am I your buddy?
'Sora's voice dropped the hint of Zech.
Zyphron: No. You two are one; I hate you both.
Christyn(Zech): What about me, sweety?
'Christyn's voice was also back to normal. Zyphron stood in awe, actually considering the fact that Zech may have given her her soul back. But then something clicked.
Zyphron: You,
Zyphron pointed at Zech.
Zyphron: you have her soul, don't you? I've been looking for it for YEARS now, to bring her back! You have it!
Christyn(Zech): What are you talking about, honey?
Zyphron: STOP THAT!!
A wave of chakra rippled out from Zyphron's mouth as he said that, cutting 'Christyn' in half, she regenerating like normal.
Zech: Alright, alright. Look's like my mind games didn't work then, and they don't work now. What makes you think I have her soul?
Zyphron: Because I can feel that her soul is still out there... Somewhere. It hasn't shattered yet, and in order for that to be, someone must have it. I've been everywhere, and I've never been close to it. You MUST have it, and I want it!
Zech: Alright, alright. You've caught me...
From behind his back, Zech produced the orb which held Christyn's soul.
Christyn: ZYPHRON!
Zyphron: CHRISTYN!
Zyphron lunged forwards a hand as he said this, creating a chakra arm which extended out to try and grab the orb.
Zech: Do that, and I break it!
The chakra arm disappaited and Zyphron took a step back for safe measure.
Zyphron: What do you want from me, Zech?
Zech: The same thing I wanted, all those years ago...
Zyphron: The Land of Iron isn't up for grabs, anymore!
Zech: That's not what I want. That's not what I ever wanted. What I want, what I've ALWAYS wanted, is for you to suffer!
Zyphron: .....WHAT!?
Zech: That's right, Zyphron. Suffer! All of us suffered emmensly trying to learn hos to fine tune our jutsu! I don't know if you noticed, but not only did learning on our own stress our abilities, but it also took a toll on our bodies! At the end of our training, we were exhausted, we could barely move, and we knew it wasn't over! And then you just WALTZ in there, read a scroll, and you automatically get these, these, INVINCABLE POWERS that can't be beat! And then during the tournament, you win ONE fight, against what was probably the weakest of us, and Christyn's making out with you on the balcony! I was going to ask her out after I beat a DIFFICULT opponent, but you just jump up there and she's all over you!
Zyphron: You liked Christyn!?!?
Zech: WHY DO YOU THINK I MADE HER MY IMMORTAL PUPPET!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Zyphron: Does that mean you liked Sora too?
Zech glared at Zyphron, loathing him in that moment.
Zech: No. I needed someone who could keep my true love safe, and the only one of us who could pull that off, other than you, was Sora.
Zyphron: But Zech, I suffered, too. I worked myself to the bone, training in taijutsu and kenjutsu with Breydon-sensei! I didn't think I would EVER use chakra, so I worked that much harder to be the best I could be-!
Zech: But you still just read a scroll and learned the jutsu you became famous for. I might not be so bitter if you were famous for your chakraless skills, instead of this jutsu you didn't work for!
Zyphron: And about Christyn, it was mutual! She told me she like me, before I told her I liked her-
Zech: That's my point; everything good in life you had was just given to you! And I loathed you for it! That is why you must die-
Zyphron: Speaking of 'you must die', I killed you in our last fight, I remember! You were just skin and bones, LITERALLY! How are you here right now!?!?
Zech: You see, my 'puppets' regenerate because their comprised of two-thirds less soul than they should be, and chakra makes up the missing two thirds. That chakra comes into play by pulling out chakra around it to rebuild it's body. My body works the same way, seeing as I also consist of one-third soul, two-thirds chakra. While your jutsu took quite a toll on myself, and these two here, we did regenerate fully, eventually.
Zyphron: And then you found her soul.
Zech: Actually, there's a special seal on the soul orb. I can summon it to my side whenever I want to, and have enough chakra. So, I never found it, it found me.
Zyphron: What do I have to do?
Zech: Die.
Zyphron: BESIDES THAT! What do i have to do to be with Christyn again?
Zech shrugged his shoulders.
Zech: Die. When you die, I plan on returning her soul to her. Then, I will try to win her over. Win or lose, she'll end up in the land of the dead with you, sooner or later. Unless I seal her.
Zyphron: But, if she fall's for you, then she'll be with you in the afterlife, won't she?
Zech: No, unfortunatly. I can't be with her in the afterlife, because I can't die. If I return her soul, she'll be complete, and can die, and I'll be two-thirds soul, one-thrid chakra. But I can't get the other thrid of my soul unless I put Sora's back, but I can't do that because it's lost somewhere, so I'll never die; I'll be cursed to wander this world forever, as you have. But enough talk, I don't care for talk. Let's get down to buisness!
Zech pocketed Christyn's soul, and ran straight at Zyphron. 'Sora' and 'Chrsityn' ran to either side, comming in for an all angle attack. Zech came with an acid spear, 'Sora' with a water spear, and 'Chrsityn' with a kunai. Zyphron blasted the three away with his chakra, and leapt all the way up to Behemoth's head. Behemoth let loose a huge roar, this time shattering both statues to nothing, and nearly tearing off the four ninja below's (including Kakashi) clothes, whipping anthing heavy like a flack jacket, or a kunai/shuriken pouch off, into the forest. Behemoth readjusted it's stance, and prepared for another 'Behemoth Beast Bomb', as it did to the Hachibi.
Kakashi: That's not good.
Zech: You're still here!?
Kakashi: Not for long!
Kakashi disappeared and the three Zech puppets turned to the massive, black orb, glowing blue in the clenches of Behemoth's jaws, ready to fire.
Zech: Fu-
Behemoth loosed it's destructive power upon the three ninja, leveling the valley beyond reconition. The sheer heat created by the blast made Zyphron sweat, and he wasn't anywhere near the blunt of the blow. Zyphorn leapt down to what remained of the lake to search for a dropped soul.
Zech: Looking for this?
Zyphron span around to see the orb he was looking for in a hand of a regenerating arm. He went to grab for it, as only the arm had regenerated thus far, and he didn't know where the voice was comming from. Another arm came in the way and beat around Zyphron's. Zech's whole body reconstructed, along with his puppets, and he held Christyn's soul away from Zyphron.
Zech: One false move and I'll smash it.
Zyphron: I just want to be with Christyn again.
Zech: And you will. When you're both dead...
Back at the Alliance, A was freaking out over his brother's going to watch a fight between a known criminal and some kid.
Tsunade: He's going to be just fine, A.
A: IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE NO PROBLEMS, WHY DIDN'T YOU GO!?!?!?!?
Gaara: Now, A. You know we don't speak to each other like that. Use your inside voice, and try again.
A: YOU THINK THIS IS SOME KIND OF JOKE!?!?!? WELL I'VE GOT A JOKE FOR YOU, IT'S CALLED THE FIFTEEN YEAR OLD KAZEKAGE!!!!!
Tsunade: A!
Gaara: No, no, Tsunade. Let him bash me all he wants, I can take it.
A got to his feet, his hand in a fist.
A: IF YOU INSIST!
Mei: A, GAARA, TSUNADE! Stop! Come look over here.
The five Kage gathered around a window, where they saw a man in a black cloak drop off what looked like two shinobi under a tarp at the edge of the village. As he turned to leave, his cloak fluttered up, revealing the Uchiha crest. A broke the widnow with his frustration.
A: SASUKE!!!!!!!
Sasuke turned around, snagging the tarp with his shoe as he did so, revealing Naruto and Bee on the ground, both unconcious.
Tsunade: Oh, my...
Gaara: Oh no he did-n't.
As Gaara said this, he said it with bland words, no expression, and snapping on every sylible, causing little explosions of sand.
Onoki: See, I told you the youngster would lose it!
Gaara: That was a joke, gramps.
A: Well, maybe you're just no GOOD at jokes, ever think of that?
Gaara: It was better than your joke about the Kazekage.
Mei: Guys, this was urgent a few senonds ago.
Onoki: What was?
Mei: SASUKE!
A: SASUKE!!!!!!!
Tsunade: Oh, my...
Gaara: Oh no he-
Mei: ENOUGH!
The five Kage ran down just in time to see the black cloak flutter to the ground, and Sasuke's form leaping farther and farther into the forest. Naruto gained conciousness, and sat bolt upright.
Naruto: WHERE IS HE!?!?
Tsunade: Sasuke just left, Naruto. Don't go after-
Naruto: Not Sasuke; I don't care about him right now!
Naruto got to his feet and tried to figure out where he was.
Tsunade: Then... Who?
Naruto: THE GUY WITH THE CHAKRA CLOAK!
All five Kage stared in awe. They had once again made contact witht he chakra cloak guy, and they took away everyone who was there.
Naruto: Is Kakashi-sensei still there!?
Kakashi: Nope.
Kakashi landed next to them, fixed his mask, and brushed some dust off of his shirt.
Kakashi: I left after he turned that Tailed-Beast Bomb on us.
Gaara: Us?
Kakashi: There were three other ninja, just as old as this guy, who knew him, too. Two of them were like Nagato's paths of pain, but the one really infuriated the chakra cloak guy. It also looks like the two 'paths' also knew him; one was his friend, and one was a girl they both liked.
Naruto: We need to go back there!
Tsunade: Naruto-
Kakashi: No, we don't!
Naruto: Yes, we do, and if you won't come with, I'll go by myself!
Naruto disappeard, and Bee began to sit up.
Bee: What's going on? I was there, I was balsted, and now I'm gone!
A: ENOUGH RAPPING!!!
Gaara: Jeeze, what doesn't upset you?
Zyphron flew backwards after he was hit with a relativly powerful acid jutsu. Zech and his puppets advanced on him, all preparing to do a final acid attack to finish it off.
Zyphron(To himself): This is not good! I can only think of ONE way that could POSSIBLY kill him, but it would definatly kill me. I'm going to die anyways, so I may as well take him with me.
Zyphron blasted his attackers away and began to rise into the air.
Zech(To himself): Will history repeat itself, or will he try to drain our chakra? Either way, he's going to die, sooner or later.
Zyphron: ABSOLUTE CHAKRA ABSORBTION!
The chakra of Zech, 'Sora', 'Christyn', and Behemoth were all sucked into Zyphron, causing Behemoth to go 'poof' and disappear, as well as his his own chakra cloak being drained into himself.
..... Zyphron landed in a crouched stance, ready to move, and move quickly. He then ran at the Zech's, and unleased a jutsu.
Zyphron: ULTIMATE MASSIVE CHAKRA WAVE!!!!
Zech: You're not supposed to be able to use jutsu without that cloak!!!!
Zyphron decided to speak during this jutsu, even though it was even MORE dangerous than it should've been.
Zyphron: I can use jutsu outside of the cloak, it'll just kill me. And without your chakra in you so you can regenerate, it'll kill YOU too!
Before Zech could speak, the blast was loosed from Zyphron's body. It was considerably weaker than the first time he used it, only creating a ten mile crater, as opposed to the hundred, but it did the trick. Sora and Christyn's bodies were lying, unmovable, outside of the crater, and Zech was lying next to Zyphron, facing opposite directions. Both of them were covered in their own blood, and Zech knew he wasn't going to regenerate, that he was going to die.
Zech: Zy.
Zyphron: Yeah, Zech?
Zech: I'm sorry about before. I was frustrated, and-
Zyphron: It's alright, Zech.
Zech: NO, it's not! I was a real jerk, and I want to say that I'm sorry.
Zyphron: You know what, Zech. I forgive you.
The white sphere rolled between Zech and Zyphron.
Zyphron: Hey, look!
Zech: It's-
Naruto: Anyone lose anything!?
Naruto jumped down next to the two shinobi.
Zyphron: Quick, tell him how to revive Christyn! I want to say goodbye to her!
Zech: Me too! Okay, yellow-haired boy, take the orb, gently, and place it over the girls heart, and tell her to come down here when the glowing fades, and she wakes up.
Naruto: O- Okay.
Naruto picked up the orb and did as he was told. Christyn woke up with a jolt, and looked around from side to side.
Christyn: Where am I!?!?
Zyphron: If that's not her voice, I don't know what is!
Christyn: ZYPHRON!
Chrsityn ran down the crater, and kneeled at Zyphron's head.
Christyn: Are you okay, sweety?
Zyphron: I'm fine.
Zech: I'm fine too, in case anyone cares! We're just going to both die, is all!
Christyn: WHAT!
Zyphron: But you're back in this world, and that's what matters.
Christyn: But you're not, and that's what matters to ME!
Zyphron: Now, we can't be selfish.
A tear rolled down Chrsityn's cheek.
Zyphron: Don't be so sad; we'll meet again. But in the next life. Until then, I want you to live this life to it's fullest, do you hear me?
Another tear rolled down her cheek and landed on Zyphron's face. Then Chrsityn nodded softly.
Zyphron: There we go.
She kissed Zyphron softly.
Christyn: Have a safe journey to the afterlife.
She gave Zech a small kiss, as well.
Christyn: Both of you.
And with those final words, Zyphron and Zech passed peacefully. They went beyond Edo Tensei's reach, to the life of eternal bliss; the real afterlife. Chrsityn insisted upon taking care of the funeral, and buried them where the Village Hidden in the Swords was, and made a new village, 'The Village Hidden in Rivalry'. She would keep the existance of the most prosperous ninja village the Land of Iron had ever know a secret from the world until an oppertune time in the war.
..... When Naruto returned to the Alliance, he reported what had happened. Although they were depressed at the news of Zyphron's death, Gaara saw some light.
Gaara: If those two could find light in all their troubles, surely we can win this war! All we need is optimism, and an emotionaly connection with each of them.
A: Yeah, that'll do it!
Zyphron and Zech's names were permenantly added to the Leaf's monument of honerable ninja, and whenever anyone, of any village, thought of those two and what they did and overcame, their worries were put aside for peace, even Omoi's. After the war, it was these two's actions which maintained peace in stressful times, but it was more the Kage's in the most stressful. Zyphron and Zech were never forgotten throughout all history, and they would always be known as the 'Peace Brothers'. And so, here ends Zyphron's Final Chapter.
Sasuke: I... don't know.
The silohet in the middle jumped down from the waterfall to the lake at the bottom. He landed in a crouch, his head down to hide his identity, even though everyone there was either unconcious, wouldn't know who he was if they saw him, or already knew who he was.
Zyphron: Who's... Zyphron, was it?
???: That's your name, can't you remember?
The figure stood straight up, and showed his face to Zyphron.
Zech: You remember me, don't you?
Zyphron: I- You're- I can't quite place your name, but-
Zech: No worries.
'Sora' jumped down to join them.
Sora(Zech): Remember me?
Zyphron: Less than the other guy, but...
???: How about me.
The final, feminine figure floated down to join the two others. Zyphron stared in shock, and fell off of Behemoth, leanding face-first in the water, as the first ninja he reconized landed softly on the lakes surface, leaving little ripples to emulate her presence. Zyphron swam to the surface, crawled onto the lake, and rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw right.
Christyn(Zech): You remember me, don't you Zy honey?
Zyphron: C-c-chri-chris-christ-CHRISTYN!?!?!?
Then, it was like a wave of memories hitting Zyphron. His name flooded back to him, his tournament with his friends, his life in the the Sword Village, his training with Breydon, his huge crush on Christyn (which never really went away), his friends comming to his aide against the Kenkage, the first time he used his External Chakra Flow jutsu, his final fight with Zech, his first (and only) kiss with Christyn, and finally fading to white with his final attack against Zech. This all happened in nearly a second, and when it was over, Zyphron nearly fell again.
Zyphron: My name... Is Zyphron.
The true Zech smirked an evil smirk.
Zech: Yes it is, buddy-
Zyphron: But you... Are Zech. You... Are not my buddy.
Zech: Why aren't you my buddy, Zy?
Zyphron: You tried to kill me. All those years ago...
Sasuke: What's going on?
Kakashi: I don't know. They obviously know each other, from a long time ago. Let's not stick around-
Sasuke: Agreed! I don't want to have to fight against that kid, the other kid, who appearently tried to kill him, the two other's who decided to show up, or that, THING that outsized the Eight-tails like nothing!
Kakashi: Then collect Naruto and Bee and get them back to the Alliance.
Sasuke: So long as I'm gone!
Sasuke hoisted Naruto up onto his back, sped over to Bee, put him on his back as well, and ran off towards the Alliance.
Kakashi(To himself): It worries me that he know's where it is. Wait a second... WHAT HAVE I JUST DONE!?!?!?!
Sora(Zech): What about me? Am I your buddy?
'Sora's voice dropped the hint of Zech.
Zyphron: No. You two are one; I hate you both.
Christyn(Zech): What about me, sweety?
'Christyn's voice was also back to normal. Zyphron stood in awe, actually considering the fact that Zech may have given her her soul back. But then something clicked.
Zyphron: You,
Zyphron pointed at Zech.
Zyphron: you have her soul, don't you? I've been looking for it for YEARS now, to bring her back! You have it!
Christyn(Zech): What are you talking about, honey?
Zyphron: STOP THAT!!
A wave of chakra rippled out from Zyphron's mouth as he said that, cutting 'Christyn' in half, she regenerating like normal.
Zech: Alright, alright. Look's like my mind games didn't work then, and they don't work now. What makes you think I have her soul?
Zyphron: Because I can feel that her soul is still out there... Somewhere. It hasn't shattered yet, and in order for that to be, someone must have it. I've been everywhere, and I've never been close to it. You MUST have it, and I want it!
Zech: Alright, alright. You've caught me...
From behind his back, Zech produced the orb which held Christyn's soul.
Christyn: ZYPHRON!
Zyphron: CHRISTYN!
Zyphron lunged forwards a hand as he said this, creating a chakra arm which extended out to try and grab the orb.
Zech: Do that, and I break it!
The chakra arm disappaited and Zyphron took a step back for safe measure.
Zyphron: What do you want from me, Zech?
Zech: The same thing I wanted, all those years ago...
Zyphron: The Land of Iron isn't up for grabs, anymore!
Zech: That's not what I want. That's not what I ever wanted. What I want, what I've ALWAYS wanted, is for you to suffer!
Zyphron: .....WHAT!?
Zech: That's right, Zyphron. Suffer! All of us suffered emmensly trying to learn hos to fine tune our jutsu! I don't know if you noticed, but not only did learning on our own stress our abilities, but it also took a toll on our bodies! At the end of our training, we were exhausted, we could barely move, and we knew it wasn't over! And then you just WALTZ in there, read a scroll, and you automatically get these, these, INVINCABLE POWERS that can't be beat! And then during the tournament, you win ONE fight, against what was probably the weakest of us, and Christyn's making out with you on the balcony! I was going to ask her out after I beat a DIFFICULT opponent, but you just jump up there and she's all over you!
Zyphron: You liked Christyn!?!?
Zech: WHY DO YOU THINK I MADE HER MY IMMORTAL PUPPET!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Zyphron: Does that mean you liked Sora too?
Zech glared at Zyphron, loathing him in that moment.
Zech: No. I needed someone who could keep my true love safe, and the only one of us who could pull that off, other than you, was Sora.
Zyphron: But Zech, I suffered, too. I worked myself to the bone, training in taijutsu and kenjutsu with Breydon-sensei! I didn't think I would EVER use chakra, so I worked that much harder to be the best I could be-!
Zech: But you still just read a scroll and learned the jutsu you became famous for. I might not be so bitter if you were famous for your chakraless skills, instead of this jutsu you didn't work for!
Zyphron: And about Christyn, it was mutual! She told me she like me, before I told her I liked her-
Zech: That's my point; everything good in life you had was just given to you! And I loathed you for it! That is why you must die-
Zyphron: Speaking of 'you must die', I killed you in our last fight, I remember! You were just skin and bones, LITERALLY! How are you here right now!?!?
Zech: You see, my 'puppets' regenerate because their comprised of two-thirds less soul than they should be, and chakra makes up the missing two thirds. That chakra comes into play by pulling out chakra around it to rebuild it's body. My body works the same way, seeing as I also consist of one-third soul, two-thirds chakra. While your jutsu took quite a toll on myself, and these two here, we did regenerate fully, eventually.
Zyphron: And then you found her soul.
Zech: Actually, there's a special seal on the soul orb. I can summon it to my side whenever I want to, and have enough chakra. So, I never found it, it found me.
Zyphron: What do I have to do?
Zech: Die.
Zyphron: BESIDES THAT! What do i have to do to be with Christyn again?
Zech shrugged his shoulders.
Zech: Die. When you die, I plan on returning her soul to her. Then, I will try to win her over. Win or lose, she'll end up in the land of the dead with you, sooner or later. Unless I seal her.
Zyphron: But, if she fall's for you, then she'll be with you in the afterlife, won't she?
Zech: No, unfortunatly. I can't be with her in the afterlife, because I can't die. If I return her soul, she'll be complete, and can die, and I'll be two-thirds soul, one-thrid chakra. But I can't get the other thrid of my soul unless I put Sora's back, but I can't do that because it's lost somewhere, so I'll never die; I'll be cursed to wander this world forever, as you have. But enough talk, I don't care for talk. Let's get down to buisness!
Zech pocketed Christyn's soul, and ran straight at Zyphron. 'Sora' and 'Chrsityn' ran to either side, comming in for an all angle attack. Zech came with an acid spear, 'Sora' with a water spear, and 'Chrsityn' with a kunai. Zyphron blasted the three away with his chakra, and leapt all the way up to Behemoth's head. Behemoth let loose a huge roar, this time shattering both statues to nothing, and nearly tearing off the four ninja below's (including Kakashi) clothes, whipping anthing heavy like a flack jacket, or a kunai/shuriken pouch off, into the forest. Behemoth readjusted it's stance, and prepared for another 'Behemoth Beast Bomb', as it did to the Hachibi.
Kakashi: That's not good.
Zech: You're still here!?
Kakashi: Not for long!
Kakashi disappeared and the three Zech puppets turned to the massive, black orb, glowing blue in the clenches of Behemoth's jaws, ready to fire.
Zech: Fu-
Behemoth loosed it's destructive power upon the three ninja, leveling the valley beyond reconition. The sheer heat created by the blast made Zyphron sweat, and he wasn't anywhere near the blunt of the blow. Zyphorn leapt down to what remained of the lake to search for a dropped soul.
Zech: Looking for this?
Zyphron span around to see the orb he was looking for in a hand of a regenerating arm. He went to grab for it, as only the arm had regenerated thus far, and he didn't know where the voice was comming from. Another arm came in the way and beat around Zyphron's. Zech's whole body reconstructed, along with his puppets, and he held Christyn's soul away from Zyphron.
Zech: One false move and I'll smash it.
Zyphron: I just want to be with Christyn again.
Zech: And you will. When you're both dead...
Back at the Alliance, A was freaking out over his brother's going to watch a fight between a known criminal and some kid.
Tsunade: He's going to be just fine, A.
A: IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE NO PROBLEMS, WHY DIDN'T YOU GO!?!?!?!?
Gaara: Now, A. You know we don't speak to each other like that. Use your inside voice, and try again.
A: YOU THINK THIS IS SOME KIND OF JOKE!?!?!? WELL I'VE GOT A JOKE FOR YOU, IT'S CALLED THE FIFTEEN YEAR OLD KAZEKAGE!!!!!
Tsunade: A!
Gaara: No, no, Tsunade. Let him bash me all he wants, I can take it.
A got to his feet, his hand in a fist.
A: IF YOU INSIST!
Mei: A, GAARA, TSUNADE! Stop! Come look over here.
The five Kage gathered around a window, where they saw a man in a black cloak drop off what looked like two shinobi under a tarp at the edge of the village. As he turned to leave, his cloak fluttered up, revealing the Uchiha crest. A broke the widnow with his frustration.
A: SASUKE!!!!!!!
Sasuke turned around, snagging the tarp with his shoe as he did so, revealing Naruto and Bee on the ground, both unconcious.
Tsunade: Oh, my...
Gaara: Oh no he did-n't.
As Gaara said this, he said it with bland words, no expression, and snapping on every sylible, causing little explosions of sand.
Onoki: See, I told you the youngster would lose it!
Gaara: That was a joke, gramps.
A: Well, maybe you're just no GOOD at jokes, ever think of that?
Gaara: It was better than your joke about the Kazekage.
Mei: Guys, this was urgent a few senonds ago.
Onoki: What was?
Mei: SASUKE!
A: SASUKE!!!!!!!
Tsunade: Oh, my...
Gaara: Oh no he-
Mei: ENOUGH!
The five Kage ran down just in time to see the black cloak flutter to the ground, and Sasuke's form leaping farther and farther into the forest. Naruto gained conciousness, and sat bolt upright.
Naruto: WHERE IS HE!?!?
Tsunade: Sasuke just left, Naruto. Don't go after-
Naruto: Not Sasuke; I don't care about him right now!
Naruto got to his feet and tried to figure out where he was.
Tsunade: Then... Who?
Naruto: THE GUY WITH THE CHAKRA CLOAK!
All five Kage stared in awe. They had once again made contact witht he chakra cloak guy, and they took away everyone who was there.
Naruto: Is Kakashi-sensei still there!?
Kakashi: Nope.
Kakashi landed next to them, fixed his mask, and brushed some dust off of his shirt.
Kakashi: I left after he turned that Tailed-Beast Bomb on us.
Gaara: Us?
Kakashi: There were three other ninja, just as old as this guy, who knew him, too. Two of them were like Nagato's paths of pain, but the one really infuriated the chakra cloak guy. It also looks like the two 'paths' also knew him; one was his friend, and one was a girl they both liked.
Naruto: We need to go back there!
Tsunade: Naruto-
Kakashi: No, we don't!
Naruto: Yes, we do, and if you won't come with, I'll go by myself!
Naruto disappeard, and Bee began to sit up.
Bee: What's going on? I was there, I was balsted, and now I'm gone!
A: ENOUGH RAPPING!!!
Gaara: Jeeze, what doesn't upset you?
Zyphron flew backwards after he was hit with a relativly powerful acid jutsu. Zech and his puppets advanced on him, all preparing to do a final acid attack to finish it off.
Zyphron(To himself): This is not good! I can only think of ONE way that could POSSIBLY kill him, but it would definatly kill me. I'm going to die anyways, so I may as well take him with me.
Zyphron blasted his attackers away and began to rise into the air.
Zech(To himself): Will history repeat itself, or will he try to drain our chakra? Either way, he's going to die, sooner or later.
Zyphron: ABSOLUTE CHAKRA ABSORBTION!
The chakra of Zech, 'Sora', 'Christyn', and Behemoth were all sucked into Zyphron, causing Behemoth to go 'poof' and disappear, as well as his his own chakra cloak being drained into himself.
..... Zyphron landed in a crouched stance, ready to move, and move quickly. He then ran at the Zech's, and unleased a jutsu.
Zyphron: ULTIMATE MASSIVE CHAKRA WAVE!!!!
Zech: You're not supposed to be able to use jutsu without that cloak!!!!
Zyphron decided to speak during this jutsu, even though it was even MORE dangerous than it should've been.
Zyphron: I can use jutsu outside of the cloak, it'll just kill me. And without your chakra in you so you can regenerate, it'll kill YOU too!
Before Zech could speak, the blast was loosed from Zyphron's body. It was considerably weaker than the first time he used it, only creating a ten mile crater, as opposed to the hundred, but it did the trick. Sora and Christyn's bodies were lying, unmovable, outside of the crater, and Zech was lying next to Zyphron, facing opposite directions. Both of them were covered in their own blood, and Zech knew he wasn't going to regenerate, that he was going to die.
Zech: Zy.
Zyphron: Yeah, Zech?
Zech: I'm sorry about before. I was frustrated, and-
Zyphron: It's alright, Zech.
Zech: NO, it's not! I was a real jerk, and I want to say that I'm sorry.
Zyphron: You know what, Zech. I forgive you.
The white sphere rolled between Zech and Zyphron.
Zyphron: Hey, look!
Zech: It's-
Naruto: Anyone lose anything!?
Naruto jumped down next to the two shinobi.
Zyphron: Quick, tell him how to revive Christyn! I want to say goodbye to her!
Zech: Me too! Okay, yellow-haired boy, take the orb, gently, and place it over the girls heart, and tell her to come down here when the glowing fades, and she wakes up.
Naruto: O- Okay.
Naruto picked up the orb and did as he was told. Christyn woke up with a jolt, and looked around from side to side.
Christyn: Where am I!?!?
Zyphron: If that's not her voice, I don't know what is!
Christyn: ZYPHRON!
Chrsityn ran down the crater, and kneeled at Zyphron's head.
Christyn: Are you okay, sweety?
Zyphron: I'm fine.
Zech: I'm fine too, in case anyone cares! We're just going to both die, is all!
Christyn: WHAT!
Zyphron: But you're back in this world, and that's what matters.
Christyn: But you're not, and that's what matters to ME!
Zyphron: Now, we can't be selfish.
A tear rolled down Chrsityn's cheek.
Zyphron: Don't be so sad; we'll meet again. But in the next life. Until then, I want you to live this life to it's fullest, do you hear me?
Another tear rolled down her cheek and landed on Zyphron's face. Then Chrsityn nodded softly.
Zyphron: There we go.
She kissed Zyphron softly.
Christyn: Have a safe journey to the afterlife.
She gave Zech a small kiss, as well.
Christyn: Both of you.
And with those final words, Zyphron and Zech passed peacefully. They went beyond Edo Tensei's reach, to the life of eternal bliss; the real afterlife. Chrsityn insisted upon taking care of the funeral, and buried them where the Village Hidden in the Swords was, and made a new village, 'The Village Hidden in Rivalry'. She would keep the existance of the most prosperous ninja village the Land of Iron had ever know a secret from the world until an oppertune time in the war.
..... When Naruto returned to the Alliance, he reported what had happened. Although they were depressed at the news of Zyphron's death, Gaara saw some light.
Gaara: If those two could find light in all their troubles, surely we can win this war! All we need is optimism, and an emotionaly connection with each of them.
A: Yeah, that'll do it!
Zyphron and Zech's names were permenantly added to the Leaf's monument of honerable ninja, and whenever anyone, of any village, thought of those two and what they did and overcame, their worries were put aside for peace, even Omoi's. After the war, it was these two's actions which maintained peace in stressful times, but it was more the Kage's in the most stressful. Zyphron and Zech were never forgotten throughout all history, and they would always be known as the 'Peace Brothers'. And so, here ends Zyphron's Final Chapter.
