Akatsuki of YCM's Hidden Base

[Fusion X. Denver]

"World domination? Kinda cliche, ain't it?" Fusion said in response to his winged comrade. "Dragons huh?" Fusion thought back a little while ago to a point where he almost lost his life. He had entered mortal combat with a man who turned into a dragon and utilized many jutsu, including bones. Fusion only realized now he was a ninja just like the ones that stood around him. "I wonder if he...well who knows." Fusion turned to Derek and asked, "Tell me, who would win in a fight, you or Cortez? As in, who is stronger? I'm trying to gauge just how strong the leader is."

[BlackSkullCortez]

Derek and Liz exchanged glances, and simultaneously said, "It would be Cortez, but now that he's out of the timestream, I don't know who the leader of us would be." Derek got irritated, since he could feel the ninjas trying to break his wall down. He put his hand against it, causing a fist to knock them all back and turn into a fighting dummy. He made a deck of cards out of the Earth in boredom. "Poker, anybody?" Liz punched him square in the face.

[Fusion X. Denver]

"No no, you misunderstood," Fusion said as he tried to hold in laughter. "I meant which of you two is the strongest. You see, I've fought Cortez before and we're pretty much even. I just wanted to know how strong you were in order to see how far above us in strength the Dragon Lord Leader is. If he's too powerful, he just might be a team effort in order to take him down."

[BlackSkullCortez]

Derek rubbed his bloody nose and said, "I thought I made it clear that Cortez is stronger than I am. I never got to know if I was stronger than Liz, but Cortez is undoubtedly the strongest. And since Liz here doesn't seem to want to play Poker, we'll have to think of something else." Liz glared at Derek, and Derek didn't make anything out of the Earth. Instead, he started tapping everybody on the head, saying, "Duck, duck, duck..." Liz tackled him. "Stop playing childish games! It's not funny!" Derek said, "Actually, I think it is."

[Fusion X. Denver]

Fusion and Go blankly stared at the scene before him. Fusion turned and said, "He seems out of character, doesn't he?" Go chuckled and said, "He's being more outgoing then usual. Maybe it's because Liz is here. Or maybe he's finally opening up. He and I fought actually." He continued when he saw Fusion's curious look on his face. "I don't know who would have won, neither of us really had the upper hand, but then the thing with Cortez happened. So we never finished. He's been teaching me about my spider powers and how to use my webbing creatively, he knows a lot about me." Fusion humbly nodded and looked back to see Derek trying to escape Liz's choke hold. "Are you gonna go back to Master anytime soon?" Go didn't know. "I hope sometime soon, but these Dragon Lords are a huge problem. Who knows, maybe Master himself will get in on the fight."

[Dranzer]

As Zeru noticed he had to choose wih one he would rather get hit witth he headed straight for Kisune and impaled himself with the chidori.The chidori had pased nearly close to Zeru's lungs,but he grasped Kisune and and started emiting so much electrisety that it fild the wholesphere with black wightning.Even the clone was destroyed.If I'm destined to die here then so will you."Ninja Art: Flame Mirror Heaven and Earth Change!" with this Zeru transported both Kisune an himself in outer space.In a second he could see earth infront of him."From one murderrer to another.See you in HELL!!!" those were Zeru's last words before he transported himself back to the fight scene with the same jutsu.He managed to saw all of the group along with 3 strangers.That was he last sight before he fainted.

[Fusion X. Denver]

"Zeru! Hey Zeru!" Fusion had noticed him first and ran over to him. "Uh guys, he's not breathing." Go then said, "We can't exactly go to the hospital either since you guys attacked this place." "We don't have a choice, I'm taking Zeru to Kougakure, maybe there's still time." Fusion turned to Chisoku Fusion, grabbed Zeru, and ran over the wall and through all the chaos back to Kougakure. I should get there in an hour by running at full speed. Where the hell is Cortez when you need him? Fusion began beating Zeru's chest as he ran to get him to breathe. "Live dammit!"

[Shadow Zero]

Shadow Zero folded his arms and gave a disbelieving look at Cortez, as though he had just suddenly said something blatantly stupid. "You're kidding, right? you DO know what the purpose of the Light of Order is, right?" Without even waiting for an answer, Shadow Zero shook his head and said "Forget it, you'll see soon enough anyway that not everything is as you feared. Besides, we're here to make sure that the mistakes of our past are not repeated." As Shadow Zero finished speaking, he and Cortez both noticed that what seemed to be the entire tribe, including the Biolizards and a few people from other tribes, such as Alixander, were gathered around the temple, and each of them were focused completely on Shadow Zero and the Lights of Order and Chaos. Shadow Zero raised his arms up to the sides with his palms facing upwards, causing the Seven Lights of Chaos to rise and circle around him from where he was standing on the Light of Order as he tilted his face towards the sky and said in a loud carrying voice that everyone could hear "Now let us begin our Ritual of Prosperity!"

[Fusion X. Denver]

Fusion soon arrived in the hospital at Kougakure. He placed Zeru in a doctor's arms and started screaming and frantically waving his arms. A nurse promptly bopped his head with a clipboard and he calmed down and explained what happened. They soon took him to the ER and Fusion decided to head to the tavern for a drink in the meantime. "I really should get a cell phone...Go's probably wondering what to do right about now." he said aloud as he walked to the tavern. Suddenly he felt a powerful presence nearby. Who the hell could that be?

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

The moment Kisune appeared in space with Zeru, his Mangekyou Sharingan activated since being of Spacial attribute. Kisune knew that he only had a few moments to survive in space, but with his Sharingan, he could use it's abilities to get him out of it. Not to mention he was going to leave the fight after the strike anyways since he had completed the job he was sent to do. With his Mangekyou activated, he used it's ability to freeze space around him. It was more of bending space around him to form an air pocket for him to breathe in, even for a few extra seconds. Using the scroll of instant teleportation, he appeared inside the Dragon Lord base at the foot of the throne Sven sat in. "I'll have to watch out for that jutsu. Next time, I'll just stop him before he uses it," Kisune said as he sat there.

 

Meanwhile outside of Kougakure, Azera stood looking over his map. "Yeah this is the right place. Time to go make my entrance," he said. Each step he took, flames appeared under his boots and stayed a lit for a while. He put his palm up to the gate and the gate erupted into flames before turning to ash. The walls connected to the gate stayed a lit of flame, allowing Azera to make a fitting entrance for himself. He began to head for the Kage's mansion, to kill the leadership.

[Fusion X. Denver]

Fusion felt impeding danger, he didn't know what it was though. He gripped his hammer and flew up to the highest building in Kougakure to give him a vantage point. Considering the village doesn't have a Kage or Bando around to protect them right now, they're pretty weak. It's possible someone will come and attack them. Guess I'll do that until Bando comes back, hope he and the rest followed me. Fusion saw a little fire near the main entrance. Trouble already, huh? Fusion flew out to it and landed down to see a man clad in demonic armor. "Who the hell are you?" he asked the man.

[BlackSkullCortez]

Cortez could hear everybody outside the temple. He knew better than to say anything, since it could mess up Shadow's concentration and possibly kill everyone. Everybody crowding around this place might lead to their destruction. Not my fault if they all die at once. He started flipping a rock in his hand in boredom. And he's acting kind of differently. Prosperity? How is this prosperity? Your creating tools that will probably end up killing them anyway. And the world's history... it will find a way to set itself on it's original course again. I just don't know how yet. In reality, Cortez had an idea. He just didn't want to believe it.

 

Derek was still in his friendly fight with Liz, just as he realized he could hear something in Kougakure. Liz could feel the dark energies from that form. They both swore and flew to Kougakure as fast as possible. It would still take them some time to get there.

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Azera stopped after only taking a few more steps. He turned around to see a man asking who he was. "Me you ask? I am Azera Karnon. King of Hell. The Dragon of the Underworld. One of the Three Dragon Lords. Maybe you have heard of me. Though I do know your name, Fusion. For your sins have gotten you onto the list of going to hell once you've recieved death. I shall be there when you die and today is that day," he stated. Suddenly the air around Azera began growing in intemsity. Not from power or pressure, but from heat. Any action taken by someone who hasn't been inside hell would be slowed down, if they got close. However the area was expanding at a rapid rate, so it was only a matter of time until someone was inside of the area. Azera then grabbed at his back, as if reaching for something when it looked as if his armor moved out of place and revealed two hilts of a pair of swords. Though the armor was merged with his skin so how did these swords appear? The answer was quite clear as the swords were shown as the armor itself. Though the armor wasn't removed from Azera's back, so what kind of weapon was this? "These are my demonic swords and they are quite deadly," Azera stated, "Prepare for death Fusion."

[Fusion X. Denver]

Oh great, he knows who I am. Is this loonie really the King of Hell? "So I'm going to Hell when I die then? Well I suppose the best I can do is repent for the rest of my life to make up for them. In retrospect, maybe I shouldn't have attacked Kirigakure, I was blinded by a promise I made to my friend. But there is another way I suppose." Fusion crouched down in a battle-ready position with his hammer out. "If I kill you, or at least defeat you, that'll have me ruling Hell even if I die prematurely." With that said, Fusion jumped up as high as he could. It's hard to breathe, it'll be difficult fighting this guy. Therefore, I should use each attack sparingly. Especially if he's one of the Dragon Lords, I can't underestimate him. He started falling down and braced his hammer to impact with Azera's skull.

 

Go barely had time to snag Derek's leg with webbing before he and Liz took off. Out of instinct, he tried snagging Bando and Tsuki, he wasn't sure if he grabbed them though, he was too focused on what was happening in Kougakure to care. We won't be there for another hour at this rate..Good luck Fusion.

[Daybreak]

Bando woke up feeling sticky all over when he realized he was in a web. He realized it was Go carrying him. "Hey go where am I?

Wait a minute I know this forest were about 45 minutes away from Kougakure." He remebered the battle at the mizukages office. The flames and Zeru getting hurt bad. He got out of the web and started running along with Go.

[Fusion X. Denver]

OOC: Day, I don't know if you saw the comment I made on your profile, but you gotta edit your post. You're nowhere near Kougakure, but I managed to snag you with webbing using Go. You should get there in an hour. If I win, then there's no need to panic about Kougakure. If I lose, then you should arrive in the nick of time to fight Azera after me.

Will edit IC post in this once Day does so

IC:

Go brought Bando back off the ground. "Whoa there man, we're high in the air right now, see?" He nodded upward and showed Bando that the strand of webbing Go was holding onto was Derek's leg. "You and I are stuck swinging here unless we get left behind. But to update you on the situation, Derek and Liz feel the presence of a Dragon Lord in your village. Fusion went on ahead a while ago with Zeru to try and heal him, he ran the whole way in Chisoku form I think. Anyway, there's a chance he's fighting the guy, so you shouldn't worry. Yet."

[Daybreak]

1. I used a teleportation jutsu to get hear.

 

2. Let me fight him ok?

[Daybreak]

"What?! A dragon lord in my village? Alright we need to move fast." Bando was panicking he bit his thumb so blood would come out. He stuck his hand on the ground and summoned his RaiMizu Dragon. He immedialtey jumped onto him. The dragon seemed happy to see him." This might be faster wouldn't you think?" as he invited Go onto the huge head of the dragon.

[Shadow Zero]

As the Lights of Chaos began to spin faster, it was quite clear that something was wrong. Shadow Zero was starting to go darker in color, and his brow was taking on an angrier shape. The Lights of Chaos Were also starting to go dark, and the Light of Order was turning white in an attempt to hold the darkness back. However, the dark energy from the Lights of Chaos were infecting the Light of Order, and before long, the Lights of Chaos and Order were both a deep black. By this time, Shadow Zero had gone completely black with bright white lines tracing the edges of the areas where he had had red streaks before. His quills extended outwards slightly, and changed trajectory so that they had a more upward angle to them. "Darkness deep as pitchest black, deeper then the darkest knight. The dark king who reigns over the Sea of Chaos!" As he spoke, Shadow Zero's voice sounded completely different. Deeper, more threatening, and terrible. His dark side had finally completely finished surfacing, and was ready to wreak havoc across the land as it completely absorbed the Lights of Chaos and Order, each of which was now as deep a black as the void itself.

 

Meanwhile, inside of the recesses of Shadow Zero's consciousness. He looked around and saw skyscrapers thrusting themselves high into the sky. He momentarily wondered where he was before he remembered that he had started the Ritual of Prosperity. So, it has begun. he though to himself as he turned his face skywards. Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him saying "It certainly has partner." Shadow Zero turned around just in time to raise a defensive shield against an attack that had been launched by...another version of himself?! It was him, except it was in its hedgehog form and had a white body with blue streaks. "Sorry, but it'll be a nuisance if you're still around here, so I'm afraid that I'm going to have to make you disappear forever!!!" As he said this, Shadow Zeros darker self charges at him, and he did the same, each of them drawing back a fist surrounded by chaotic energy to deal the first blow. The battle for his very existence had begun, and there could only be one remaining at the end of the fight.

[Fusion X. Denver]

Go was amazed at the dragon that Bando managed to summon. "Wow, a real live dragon! Is it safe to board?" go was hesitant, as the dragon seemed to be made of lightning. He jumped on though since Bando was fine and he yelled up to Derek, "Oy, we're going on ahead on this guy. If you wanna stay with us or go at your own pace, you decide, alright?" Without looking back, Go and Bando flew on the RaiMizu dragon onward to Kougakure. My spider sense is tingling even from this great distance. Fusion, what's going to happen?

[Daybreak]

Well since we won't be there for another 15 minutes even using the speed of the dragon. Let me tell you how it and I met. Long ago when I was wondering the land as kid I came to the land of the dragons and saw all kinds of dragons. But there was one all alone it had just hatched from an egg and it's mother was nowhere to be found so I took it in. It wasn't long beforeI realized that it was made of RaiMizu. So I went to the Dragon elder as asked for the contract with this one and only dragon. I signed the contract and he has been my side ever since." Bando thought back remebering. The dragon looked as though it was doing the same.

[Fusion X. Denver]

"That's an interesting story," Go said after listening to Bando. "I used to have a dog, his name was Sparky. I loved him, but he was taken from me...along with my parents." He read Bando's look and continued, "He also killed Fusion's older brother. You could also say he brought Fusion and I together, we've vowed to bring this man in and we've been looking for him ever since. I'd say he's the only man in the world who could contain and commit evil acts equal to those of the Dragon Lords." Akuma Sendo...the man who ruined my life. I will find you when this is all over, I swear it. Go then thought ahead to the Dragon Lord at Kougakure. It's true Bando's dragon is quicker than any of us could travel, but I'd say we have another 20 minutes if my spider sense is accurate.

[BlackSkullCortez]

Derek and Liz were flying straight on course to Kougakure. They had a sibling-rivalry type of race towards the town. They felt a current behind them, and then saw a dragon dash right past them. Derek managed to catch Go on the dragon, and he decided to try to race them, too. He remembered what Cortez first said to him, and is starting to understand what he meant when he said "Enjoy the actual world. It becomes fun when you try to act like yourself." Liz started to understand that while Derek's biological age was 22 and his age was 14, he had the DNA of 2 humans, so he would take twice as much time to age, so he was actually like a 7 year old. Liz smiled and yelled to him, "You know, if you can control the Earth, couldn't we go faster on land?" Derek smiled, landed next to Liz on the ground, and he managed to push the Earth so that they were traveling faster than the dragon towards Koagakure. "Catch us if you can!" Liz screamed at Go as they passed the dragon. Derek started calming down, returning to his regular personality.

 

Cortez was shocked by the appearance of this darker version of Shadow. This... is not right. Thought something like this would happen. Cortez knew that after he got his brief training from the World Rings Knight, he couldn't kill this dark form. Just then, he remembered what he tried to do in his first fight with Shadow. This is going to be so entertaining, even if I die! "Oi, Shadow! Can you hear me in there? Or are you just a hollow in there? Oh, wait, you can't be Shadow! Your just a fake version of that awesome guy! That's right! You're just a FAKER!" Cortez was trying to reach Shadow in there, and also tried to make this dark person make the first move.

[Mr.WHAM]

Ze'borova sniffed the air. Its burnt. Like I have been here...there..about a mile away from here...in the sky.. Ze'borova spotted the dragon of lightning and felt kind of proud. "That's...well no time for dilly-dallying now, move it boy," Ze'b said to himself. He kneeled to the grond, pushing the force that was his stregth into his legs. "Shunpo." With in a few seconds he'd caught up to the dragon of lightning. "You there, who dare's to use the Lightning God's powers?" He said. Ze'b had merely meant to give himself a cooler approach. After all he had to investigate and see what was going on. He knew they would have heard only enough to catch there attention so he ran hard and launched his body into the air. The shinigami landed rght above them as he ran beside the dragon as it flew in the air. "You two, I ask you again, who are you? Did those idiots Zeus & Thor send you becuse I will kick their ass and yours if they are trying to claim that they are strongest? Well answer me?!!!"

[Daybreak]

"You get away from my dragon.....now." The dragon looked at the stranger and snarled. "I said get away from my Dragon now!"yelled Bando puttings his left arm toward the stranger. "or..else..." he said with death in his eyes.
