CHAPTER XIV
As the moon descends
As the moon descends
Land of Fire Woodlands
The sun begins to scorch the black sky as dawn soon approaches, overtaking the full moon. The sounds of birds chirping up in the tree tops throughout the lonesome forest that outskirts Konoha, soon disturbed by the rushing noise of a pack of wolves racing unrelentingly north of the peaceful woodlands.
Wolf: According to the map Roku-dono provided, we'll be there around half an hour if we maintain this speed.
Gats: I'm not sure if we can make it in time before he departs from the prison... That guy is always on the move. I don't know where he gets his stamina from.
Flaw: Guys. Haven't you wondered how on earth we'll defeat him? I mean, we're not as strong as Jinchuuriki and this dude is killing them like they're nothing.
Missy: But you two were sent here to kill him... Almost like destiny... I'm sure we'll figure something out when the time comes.
Gats: -In his thoughts- (Flaw is right, we don't have enough strength combined to defeat such a foe)
Land of Fire Abandoned Prison
Within the light-less prison cell that Nero occupies, his seals were successfully ridden. Standing up, he gets reacquainted with his eyesight while Nexus looks at him impatiently as he waits for Nero to finish.
Nexus: Now, you're in my debt...
Nero: Hmm? What exactly do you want from me?
Nexus: Your Sharingan ability... I need you to teleport me from place to place. Not much to ask, right?
Nero: I suppose that's fair... It beats being locked up in this hellhole for the rest of my days but...
Nexus: But?
Nero: Before I proceed with your demands, there is one thing I need to do for myself. I hope you can understand although you have no say in the matter. Gihihihi.
Nexus: Hmph. Don't get so cocky, but I suppose you need to do what you need to do.
Nero lays his hand on the shoulder of Nexus as he smirks and his Sharingan activates. Instantly, their bodies begin to warp into the epicenter that is Nero's eye, vanishing away in a blink of an eye.
Moments after, the floor begins to change from a cement-looking substance into paper. Arising head first, a young lady. She begins to look around with the look of worry...
???: That man's chakra... It was undeniably incredible... It felt like a dozen tailed beasts at once. What is going on here? What does he plan to do with Nero's Space-Time Migration!?
-Insert Dramatic Music-
{Gats Ramblings [1] - I should talk to Zenryoku and get a english flag smiley, like the one Izuna has |:}
Iwagakure Mountain Tops
Somewhere in the high mountain tops of Iwagakure, Nero and Nexus emerge from the Space-time Migration Technique. Nexus looks around, somewhat confused as to why Nero has brought him here. Although wary of his plans, he begins to follow Nero who starts to walk toward the edge of the mountain's cliff.
Nexus: What is the reason behind this?
Nero: You will find out in due time, there is no need for impatience.
Nexus leers at Nero but as soon as they reach the edge, he looks downwards to notice a large chasm. Within this chasm, A man wearing a dark robe but with contrasting yellow hair, throwing a kunai toward a makeshift dummy and teleporting behind it with undetectable speed. Nero makes his presence felt.
Nero: Ah! Xylon! Remember me!?
He shouts across the chasm that Xylon is training in. Xylon looks up to notice two figures on the clifftop, illuminated by the dawning sun across the horizon.
Xylon: I can't see you all that good but I can definitely tell who it is by that god awful tone of voice!
Nero then jumps down a few meters to enter the chasm, however, Nexus remains near the edge but notices a stray piece of paper attached to his shoe. He shakes it off without thought while in the chasm, Xylon turns to face Nero, revealing a red cloud on his dark robe as he faces his opposer.
Xylon: So, they finally let you out huh?
Nero: You bastard! You will regret the day you sell me out to Konoha! We were team mates!
They begin to walk closer to one another whilst they exchange words.
Xylon: You were getting too big for your boots. You kept flaunting your Sharingan, thinking you were better than us... When in reality, you were only a tadpole in a sea of sharks.
Nero: Gihihihihi... That's a shame. You want those to be your last words?
Xylon: Vice versa, Nero-chan~ ヽ(*゜▽゜*)ノ
Xylon grips a kunai and points it towards Nero's abdomen. Nero locks his eyes with Xylon, both sharing an immense look with one another as the fight begins to erupt!
{Gats Ramblings [2] - So I've been sick of Naruto lately and started reading one piece. It's okay, I suppose. FT ftw~ Did anyone notice my tribute to FT with Nero's laugh? - Gihihihi o.o
INTERMISSION
Land of Fire Abandoned Prison
The pack of wolves arrive at the Konoha prison. The trio look onwards at the prison, noticing the large gates are still wide open whilst they get off the wolves.
Wolf: We are sorry for this inconvenience but Lord Meiunha needs us back at Mount Fang but good luck whatever the outcome may be...
Gats nods at the wolf as they begin to reverse-summon back to their home in a puff of smoke. Now on their own, the trio begin to briskly walk up to the large prison gates.
Finally arriving at the uncommonly large gates of the building, Flaw peeks in to see if it is all clear but nothing can be seen past the dark horizon of the eerie and long halls. Flaw then walks in, soon to be followed by Gats and Missy.
Missy: I should of waited outside, this is no place for a lady >_<
Flaw: Or a Romanian ¬_¬
Gats: Come on guys... Let's show a little bravery. We've made it this far!
Missy sighs under her breath as they courageously wander the barely lit rooms within the building, not knowing what lays behind every corner..
Randomly, a sheet of paper smacks Flaw in the face.
Flaw: The ****?
He begins attempting to remove it but struggles to get it off. Gats gives him a hand but to no avail, the paper is as if its almost adhesive. Unexpectedly, from the end of the hall, a large torrent of paper flies towards them in a huge wave.
Gats: Oh cr--!?
The wave of paper hits them head on, engulfing them in an unfathomable amount of sheets; almost drowning, they try their very best to escape by almost swimming out of it but like the single sheet of paper, these sheets are just as adhesive. Their faces covered, making it almost impossible to see, hear or even talk to each other apart from the faint mumbling as they begin to sink to the depths of the sea-like paper, their struggling becomes lifeless until no movement is left...
