The Great Ninja World War Roleplay


 * Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se6wBWb-M20

The Guardians
High on a mountain in the land of sun, the leader of the Guardians contemplated the recent unrest of the military in the countries to the north of here, not to mention the rest of the world. ''The feudal lands are particularly riled, but the borders are fairly secure. Other players though...'' The world was in a state of craziness. Countries were arming up, with some unknown force backing rumors of mutiny and invasion. That man Shishimaru seemed particularly dangerous, if he could land a death blow on Ean... he thought from his office.

Sam Wils was in the lab, experimenting on his current project. Ean was in his own chair, contemplating his fight with Shishimaru. "Sam, what info do we have on the CHIMERA Faction?" he asked. Sam left his work and drew up a monitor displaying the files on the organization. Hmm... interesting...Their leaders nt too bad a fighter, but I could tell, he wasn't really the leader... But who would be then? Shishimaru had injured Ean so badly he was kept to the hospital for a month, showing what they were up against...

"Pizza delivery!" yelled a familiar voice. Hikaru and Mizu were standing at the entrance to the Guardians base.

Jenifer Follman happened to be the gate guard for the day, so these two were screwed. "What kind of pizza?"

Hikaru smiled and said, "What kind was ordered?"

Rikka Nagoshi approached them, "Hi, im Rikka Nagoshi from Ashiki with a message for James..... oh, hey Hikaru and Mizu" she said smiling

Jenifer immediately pointed to Rikka. "You can go. You two, stay here." she said from her perch.

"Thank you" she said bowing and went in. She ran to James' office and opened the door, "Ah, excuse me, James?" she said

James looked up from his business paperwork, and noticed he now had a person in his office he had never seen before. Judging by the clothing, she had on, she was part of Seireitou's group. "Yes, what would you like?" he said in his diplomatic voice.

"I have some info from Seireitou-kun that he wanted to relay to the Guardians and a proposal" she stated.

Hikaru and Mizu looked at each other and sighed.

"And what would both of those be?" he continued.

"Well, first, Shishimaru Genbu is in charge of their army, but you knew that probably but did you know that Echo Uchiha is really in charge" she said, "Also, Seireitou-kun wants the Guardians and his team to unite" she stated

"That emo kid from the future? I'll send that down to second quarter. And I would like to hear the terms of agreement, if there are any." said James as he sent a message to the second force's headquarters.

Outside, Jenifer was still dealing with the two visitors. "No, you can't come inside!" she called down in a mocking tone.

"Nope, Sei-kun only wants his group and the Guardians to work together side by side to end this war" she said

"Great, anything to get back to what things were like before. Tell him I want a meeting held in the conference room in this building, and see if he can bring Hikaru and his brother with him."

CHIMERA
At the CHIMERA Faction, Shishimaru was on the head seat of his court, "Those weaklings won't enter my empire, without being crushed." said Shishimaru smiling evilly as he oversaw the construction of the outer wall, built around stone spikes with five watchtowers with snipers and ninja at each one, "I can't lose..."

(Elsewhere in CHIMERA territory)

Twilight's Plot

A young ninja in a dark cloak walked through his personal halls in Shishimaru Genbu's lair, he was now the second-in-command of the CHIMERA Faction, and had already gotten straight to business. His image was creepily outlined by the glare from the green flamed torches that lit the halls. He entered the next room, where one of his ervants awaited him.

"Sir, Shishimaru is unable to attend the official War meeting today due to bloodlust related circumstances."

"You will address him as Lord." Said Echo as he impaled the servant through the heart and continued onto a balcony overlooking the main hall.

There, hundreds of his ninjas awaited command each standing upright and in position, praying not to catch his evil eyes. Each ninja was terribly afraid of the dark Uchiha, yet loved working for hi mdue to his inspirational spirit.

Echo cleared his throat as he spoke into the echoing room, declaring his message. "Men and Women alike, each of you are here for your own reasons. Some to provide for your family, others out of fear, and some for the sake of obtaining power. Today, we unite under one army, an army that will ensure an era destined to for wealth, security, and power. This will recquire all of you to commit yourselves to the fullest, putting your lives on the line to ensure that our cause is met. Rest assured that there will be no going back, once executed you are in the system."

Several of the warriors loooked at the ground, unsure of what to do, then Echo resumed his speech. "-But, there is no need for worry, I have developed a fully and unstoppably efficient system for eliminating our three main enemies: The Guardians, the Six Great Nations, and the Lost Lands. We will show them that their numbers are nothing but muffled by our heart and determination, our drive to show our worth. Once we, together, prove to everyone why we are superior to all, there will be a new reign, one created through the blood of those we will shed, the forces of those we will crush, and the power we will achieve. To Lord Shishimaru, to the CHIMERA Faction, to domination!"

As Echo immediately turned around and walked back to his private wing to formulate his tactics screaming and chanting could be heard, the War was about to begin.

Loyalty

Echo entered the strategy room to see Shishimaru's elite advisors trying to create a plan of action. With a frown he walked up to the table. "Does Lord Shishimaru know about this?"

"What does it matter, you're pretty much in charge now, you've already surpassed Shishimaru!"

Echo grabbed the man who spoke and lifted him by his throat. "Never say anything demeaning about him in my presence." Echo slammed the man's head up against the wall, denting it and snapping his neck.

"As for the rest of you, you traitors are no longer needed by my master."

Screams could be heard from the room as Echo became the single strategist of the CHIMERA Faction.

Echo knew that nothing could stop them, Hikaru was too compassionate, James to blind to what's around him, and Serieitou just too foolish to even make a difference.

"No matter what Echo does, I have a plan..." said Shishimaru at his perch, planing a strategy, "Something isn't right about Echo, he might be a traitor, which isn't a problem, he's a weakling..."

Ashiki no Kitsune
Seireitou was in the Kitsune Realm along with his group, and Ashiki

"Good, we all here?" asked seireitou

Kyashi Urami and Sachi Urami were right beside each other. "Hai." They both said.

"Alright, well, looks like the world is going crazy so ive assembled this group to calm these guys down..... also, i believe that CHIMERA is responsible, so ive enlisted the help of Taisinkoha" Seireitou facing Kyashi and Sachi, "Sachi-chan, Kyashi-chan..... looks like Ryuka's still gone, huh?"

"Yah" Evan walks up

"Evan, your here too, good" he said facing the two sisters, "I assume that Echo Uchiha is behind this" he stated

"Huh?" Sachi's eyes widened. "What can he hope to gain out of all of this?"

"World Domination, what else" he said rolling his eyes as Byakko walked up to them, "Seireitou, Taisinkoha will keep tabs on CHIMERA like you asked, and Rikka is going to the Guardians as well to ask for an alliance" he stated

But just then, a Tengu Portal opened up and Team Makan came out from it, "Sorry were late, I had some...well... 'business' to take care of." said Makan as he scratched the back of his head, "I personally know about the CHIMERA Faction."

Sachi rolled her eyes. "Well, don't tell us at once...."

"Its okay, also, when you say that, Echo is charge, right?" asked Seireitou

"No, he's not, Shishimaru is about 2 to 2.5 times, not in Bankai, stronger than Echo." said Fukumaden seriously.

"Then, Echo's weak then, im sure that i could take on Shishimaru, so Echo's not a problem, however, i wont underestimate Echo's military genious" he said as a small fox came over to Sachi and Kyashi and another large fox came to Seireitou

"You would be a good match for him, but he fights dirty and has a special jutsu that can nullify elemental jutsu." said Makan sipping some sake, even though he already has a hangover.

Kyashi and Sachi looked at the smaller fox, and Kyashi even went to pet its head. "Obviously, if he can do that, he's dangerous. We'll need to think of some way to counter it..."

"Well, i tend to use Bending Principles, which arent made of chakra, so thats not a problem.... so, here's my plan" he began

"But..." said Fukumaden, "He can infuse his own will and chakra into the elements themselves and use them to his advantage and Makan may be kinda tried from his 'business', if you know what I mean."

Seireitou smirked, "Accually, i have a plan to rid Shishimaru of his powers and contrain Echo" he said

"Enlighten us." Sachi said, raising an eyebrow.

"Its a surpise" he chirped, and then took Sachi's hands into her own, "Sachi-chan, whatever happens, i promise to protect you, Kyashi and everyone" he said smiling

Both sisters smiled. "And I'll protect you with my own life as well, Sei-kun." Sachi replied. "Remember that."

"There's more of them..." said Makan staggering

Seireitou smiled, but inside, he frowned, knowing that his plan for peace might cause Sachi and Kyashi to have a different idea of himself but, hopes that they will understand in the end.

"Well, Echo's not a problem, while he doesnt look it, the only person who can rival Echo's military genious is Seireitou" he stated

"And if Echo tries anything, Shishimaru will use some a that alchemy to stick him to the wall." said Makan, "Based on what I know, Echo ain't no match for Shishimaru."

"Okay, so we know that Echo is matched for brains with seireitou and seireitou has further strength, plus, im matched with Hikaru and Seireitou so ill take on Echo, their empire will come crashing down" said Byakko

"If you only knew..." said Fukumaden mysteriously.

"What should Kyashi and I do, while you do that?" Sachi asked seriously. The younger sibling was still petting the small fox.

"Well, for my plans to work, i need a team of earthbenders, a group of illusion masters and a team of taijutsu experts, as well as a few Firebenders in case, can you get that?" asked seireitou to Sachi and Makan

"Hai." Sachi nodded.

"For all that i don't qualify" Evan stated

"I'm a master of illusions and healing" said Fukumaden, "I can get everything else you need."

"I'm skilled at taijutsu as well." Kyashi said, looking at Seireitou. "I can assist Sachi."

Jikokukenin
Ryuka was currently meditating, as he sat on the cold floor of the Jikokukenin base. Currently, he was awaiting, along with the other members of Jikokukenin, for their leader.

"Damnnit kid," said Minato. "Get up already; this is dumb..."

"You shouldn't complain so much, Minato-san." Ryuka replied, not moving from his spot on the floor. "It doesn't suit you."

"I don't care kid." He swung one of his massive Shadow Blades on his shoulder. "So did Assari get you yet?"

"So far, no. I had to threaten her with genjutsu, though, when she tried to." Ryuka made the Tiger sign, opening one eye to look at Minato.

Minato chuckled, "That girl has determination though...she won't stop until she gets you..."

"She can try all she wants, but she won't get anywhere. What about you?"

Minato scratched his bald head and said, "Well, she doesn't have an interest in guys with shaved heads."

A small grin came across Ryuka's face. "Your skeletal appearance doesn't help, either." He looked around. "Where is Ikarasoruke-sama?"

Minato shrugged, "I guess he's with Hinamori..."

"Hn." Ryuka frowned. "She only's here because of love. How foolish."

Minato sighed and said, "I'm here to fight against other people, no matter who they are." He dropped his swords and said, "I could care less about Hikaru, but the ninja at Hikarigakure 2 aren't too keen of my past actions."

"Really?" Ryuka raised an eyebrow. "I'm not surprised. How'd you end up here, of all places?"

"I was bored." He took out a flask of alchohol and drank some of the contents. "Come to think of it, why're you here?"

"I have my own personal goal: to destroy the shinobi clan legacy." Ryuka replied, closing both of his eye. "They were nothing but a stain on the world, and I'm going to erase it from existance."

"Which clan?" asked Minato, "There's a whole slew of 'em."

"The ones who thought that their own bloodline was more important than anything else. The Uchiha....the Hyuga....their arrogance irks me more than anything else."

Minato looked a little confused, "Aren't you an Uchiha yourself?"

"I don't consider myself one of them anymore. After the attempted coup d'tat and massacre, the Uchiha name seemed useless to me...." He opened both of his eyes, thinking. "Although, the only Uchiha I've known to break that barrier were my two parents...."

"Whatever kid," said Minato. "Not like it matters." He then looked over at Ryuka and asked, "Does that mean you'll go after the Uchiha in the Lost Lands?"

"If it's possible." Ryuka replied. "I don't intend to leave any survivors."

Minato frowned and said, "Then I guess I'm one of your targets, along with the majority of Jikokukenin."

"Don't worry." Ryuka replied, looking at Minato with one eye open. "Since you're all working along with me, you won't be attacked."

Minato then said, "For what it's worth, Urakih has decided to leave the Lost Lands alone for this war, seeing as they wish to be neutral." He scowled at Ryuka, "And that means if you attack any resident, consider yourself, relieved of duty."

"And when he says that, he's right.", said a familiar voice. Indo Huiyo was sitting on a nearby bench eating a peach. Minato looked at him, "Where the heck did you come from?" Indo replied, "I've been here all along. It's a real shame about the Uchiha thing. That name is legendary, but corrupt."

Ryuka raised an eyebrow at Indo. "I thought you had a long time ago." He said.

"It's my job and Itachi's to restore this clan. Sasuke is no longer able to." Indo replied with a sad look.

"Itachi's still alive, as well?" The Jiko-Uchiha thought, opening both eyes to look at Indo. "Your goals clash with mine. If you were here the entire time, then you obviously know what my goal is."

Minato sighed and said, "You forgot about the Uchiha in the Lost Lands, idiot..."

"I didn't know he would be in the Lost Lands." Ryuka replied.

Minato then said, "What are you, friggin deaf or friggin stupid?! I meant that there are Uchiha and Senju clan citizens in the Lost Lands."

Ryuka looked skeptically at Minato. "Yes, I heard you before." He replied, with a mild tone of sarcasm. "You don't need to shout it out. I merely assumed Itachi would be still in the Land of the 5 Great Nations, not all the way here."

"Why would that idiot be all the way out here?" asked Minato.

"Possibly to re-collect his life. Like me, he had nothing left in Konoha. Or possibly, to assist Ryun in leading Yamagakure."

Indo, "Oh, he is recollecting-" Suddenly, Indo gulped. Suddenly, Itachi's voice was on Indo's radio, "Indo, get out of there. You're saying too much." Indo chuckled, "Well, I think I have to go."

Ryuka closed both of his eyes. "Be sure to check on Otonami." He replied. "I hope he's not too devestated." His voice, however, held no sincerity whatsoever, as he focused back on his meditating.

A black wisp decorated the room as a dark figure appeared. "Greetings." Said none other an Echo Uchiha.

Ryuka opened both of his eyes, looking at the dark-robed figure. "Echo Uchiha." He stated calmly. "One of the infamous Yonkou. What a surprise to see you here."

"I suppose you're Ryuka Uchiha, student of my weaker colligue, the foolish Serieitou Hyuga. Interesting to see you with this faction." Said Echo, nonetheless careless.

Ryuka raised an eyebrow, seeing Echo's facial expression. "I am, but I'm his student no longer." He got up, facing the other Uchiha. "Why are you here, of all places?"

"To propose an alliance of forces, it is necessary that I have contacts in the Lost Lands, and one i nthe Kitsune Realm, but I am considering ending that branch, I don't beleive it is neccessary." Echo deactivated his death seeking eyes and looked at Ryuka. "But I'm pleased to see that you have chosen a path of power."

Ryuka narrowed his eyes. "Don't expect me to be humble towards you, Echo-san." He said calmly, with the slightest bit of coldness.

"If I want someone's humility I will take it through force. I don't care how you treat me as long as you stay out of my way and follow your superior's orders." Echo responded.

"As long as you stay out of mine, fair enough." Ryuka replied indifferently. "You'll need to speak Ikarasoruke-sama if you want an alliance with Jikokukenin."

"Perfect, with his assistance the Lost Lands will be secured, with help from my only true friend the six Nations will be secured, but first the Guardinas fall." He shook his head. "Oh, and not to mention Serieitou has decided to play along, but that's not important in the slightest."

"Hn." Ryuka looked a bit thoughtful after Echo mentioned Seireitou again. "I'm bound to encounter Kyashi, Seireitou, and Evan again. But it doesn't matter...I have a clan existance to destroy..."

"I don't know what you're thinking but it should not be compassion, you're about to face the world." Said Echo, used to being against the tide.

Ryuka scoffed. "Rest assured, I won't show compassion when I accomplish my goal. Not even Seireitou will stand in my way."

Echo sighed. "Don't worry about him, the old man reached his limit years ago. If I'm not around to handle him, keep this in mind:his greatest weakness is his own power. But I wouldn't worry, you've probably already surpassed him."

"I assume you know about Kyashi and Evan?" Ryuka asked, rubbing his finger horizontally under his nose and looking at Echo questioningly.

"I've fought Evan once before, but I don't know anything about Kyashi." Replied Echo.

"Kyashi has the power of a deceased Bijuu, the nine-tailed wolf...and she's very powerful." Ryuka explained. "She's able to use the full power of it adeptly. If you have plans, she will most likely become an interference for you."

"I assume you can handle her if deemed neccessary?"

"I've defeated her before, and spared her on a whim. If she gets in my way again, I'll be sure to kill her."

"If she is of importance to you, I will let you deal with her." Said Echo, detecting slight uneasiness in Ryuka's voice.

Ryuka nodded. "As you wish." Looking out of one of the "windows", he could sense a storm brewing. "It's about time to begin...."

Seireitou and Echo's Pre-War Meeting
Seireitou sent Echo a message to meet him privatly in the Other World

Echo appeared in nfront of Seireitou. "I'm here on behalf of Lord Shishimaru, what's the matter?" Said Echo, in a slightly impatient tone.

"Well, i just wanted to ask, as a friend and fellow Yonkou, do you honestly believe that by uniting the world by dictatorship and forcing peace, peace will come?" asked seireitou

"My visions are different than Lord Shishimaru's, yet as my mentor his will overrides mine. I merely seek power, and it is his wish to achieve it through war." Echo said.

Seireitou laughed, "Power? What would you know about Power. Make no mistake Echo, my destiny as the Vessel of Ragnarok to protect this world and institute peace, and because of that, if you make even a step out of line, give me one reason to think you will destroy that peace, make no mistake that it will result in your permanent end." he said and with that, disappeared.

Once again, another pointless get together from the Vessel of Fools. Thought Echo as he shook his head and headed back to his home.

As Seireitou returned, he smirked, "All the pieces are falling in place, Echo..... you fool"

The War Begins
As the War began, Seireitou met with Minkai, "Minkai, i need your Geass" said seireitou. "Why, Seireitou?" asked Minkai. "I just need it" he retorted. "Fine" he muttered as he cut his arm and gave Seireitou some of his blood. Seireitou implanted it into himself and obtained Geass. He then disappeared, "How far are you willing to go for peace" thought Minkai as he disappeared.

Back at Shishimaru's perch, Shishimaru pressed a button on his seat and a hologram of the four commanders of his fleet was projected in front of him, "Sir, what should we do." asked one of the commanders, bowing. "Attack the Guardians!" yelled Shishimaru as all of them body flickered away and 2000 ships powered by turbines left the CHIMERA Faction, away to every place the Guardians protected and their headquarters.

Hikaru then sensed an evil prescence approching the Guardians headquarters. "Mizu, tell James it's time to fight."

"Sure, bro," said Mizu.

Seireitou appeared next to Hikaru, "Looks like it has began"

Ryuka stood outward, facing the network of Guardian HQ. He had been assigned by Ikararosuke to oversee the attack on the Guardians' headquarters. Smiling to himself, he looked up into the sky, eyeing the aerial attack force. "Time to kill...." He muttered, as he leapt into the depths of the base.

"Hikaru, it isnt my place to lead the attack but im the only one with the military skills to combat Echo" said seireitou as he was cut off as he sensed a familar presense. He teleported to Ryuka, stopping him, "Well, if it isnt Ryuka"

"Seireitou...." Ryuka replied, gazing at his former teacher with indifference. "It's been a while."

"I hear you joined the Gay Hollow and the Self Absorbed Demon Teen" he said, smiling

"Hn. You heard right." Ryuka replied. "But rest assured, I'm only fighting for myself."

500 souls tied to suits of armor suddenly rushed toward the Guardian HQ, starting as snipers started to set up in trees.

"Ryuka, you made a large mistake, and dont think about challenging me, it will only end badly..... its over, you've become weak" he stated

"Hmph." Ryuka smirked. "You only speak prideful words. But I haven't come to fight you. I've only come to oversee the destruction of the Guardians." He stared into Seireitou's eyes.

"Sei-kun!" A voice called out from behind a corner. Sachi appeared, just a few feet behind Ryuka.

Hikaru watched as the carnage was happening. He sighed and wondered, "I hope Rukia and Naruto can make sure that the Lost Lands are still in neutrality."

"Remember this Ryuka, if you make a single step out of line, give me one reason to think you will hurt Kyashi or Sachi, then you will no longer have to worry about your goals anymore" he stated as he teleported to Sachi. "Sachi-chan, go to Hikaru and tell him to meet with Byakko in the Kitsune Realm" he said as he teleported away.

Ryuka sneered, as Sachi nodded. "Hai!" As Seireitou disappeared, the Uchiha took his chance, appearing in front of the stunned woman. "I've been wanting to talk to you...." He said, pointing to her.

Back at the HQ, James had the captains organized. "Ean, I want you and your best to get these losers out of here while Jen and her associates back you up with an aerial strike from the Manta. Gaston, have your men along with Parren's on standby until I say green or if any bogeys reach the walls. Scarr, you'll be on offense with Ean. Get them away from here as fast and as thoroughly as you can." The captains left the room in the skyscraper and went to their designated positions, Jenifer and her fighters arriving at the airport to board the giant airship. Ean and Scarr both took Ean's megabike out to the field to block the walls along with Ean's top ten and Scarr's assistant captain Kev. As soon as they got out of the walls the entire mountainside became a massacre scene, at one point Scarr even had to go to one-tailed form. All the while, Jenifer was on top of the huge whale shaped flying machine that hovered high over the fight and was bombarding not only the opposing airships with devastating attacks but also striking lighting to get rid of what enemies on the ground she could.

Inside the walls, James was thinking. Hard. ''Echo is the mastermind, Shishimaru is still his leader. According to his honor code, if we control Shishimaru, then we control Echo. And if that doesn't work, Shishimaru could be locked up and handed over to Sam. Same effect. alright, time to meet with the other powers that have a control over this mess...''

Demon of the Flames
Sachi panted heavily, as she stood up. Surrounding her were a murder of crows flying around her. Her body was covered in scratches and scars. "Damn it....he's able to fend off my techniques effortlessly....how strong is he?" She thought.

Above her, a group of crows formed the body of Ryuka. "I didn't wish to have this fight." He stated, looking down on her. "And I don't wish to hurt you."

Sachi looked up at him, glaring. "I don't need your pity." She replied. But her confidence soon changed to dismay as the crows surrounding her turned into shuriken, throwing themselves into her flesh. "AH--!"

"Such a shame you didn't stay on your own side." Ryuka said.

Suddenly, Byakko appeared and rescued Sachi. "Sachi-san, Seireitou sent me here to assist you wiht Ryuka" he said

The genjutsu immediately disappeared, and Sachi looked over to find Ryuka standing a few feet away, arms across his chest. "Thanks." She acknowledged, nodding.

"No problem" he said, "Bring Forth the Twilight, Hakurei" he said drawing his blade as it shine with rainbow colors.

"Hn." Ryuka frowned. "Get out of my way. This doesn't concern you." He pulled out Yokai-Kikan, fully aware that the stranger would not just step aside.

"Fine, if thats the way you want it" he said as he muttered, "Rainbow Refraction" as a large blast of energy consumed Ryuka, as he was covered in blood and fell straight at a tree and then at a mountain.

Despite the explosion, Ryuka was still standing there, Sharingan glow fading. He sighed. "There is only one person I am eager to fight again." He summoned an indestructible murder of crows. Hearing a resounding boom, he grinned. "Sounds like the army's finally arrived."

Sticking his blade down into the ground, he created a shadow clone, which grabbed Byakko. He then made the tiger sign. "Katsu!" The clone immediately exploded violently, destroying the surrounding area.

"Byakko!" Sachi yelled, but she soon found herself surrounded by the crows, and Ryuka appearing behind her. "Tell me...." Ryuka said. "You're facing imminent defeat. Why do you insist on resisting when you know you'll lose?"

Suddenly, Hakurei was right through Ryuka's heart as Ryuka fell on his knees, his mouth covered in blood spewing out, "You idiot" said Byakko, right behind Ryuka and was undamaged

Ryuka merely grinned, turning towards Hakurei. "You caught me off guard, you son of a b****." He said, pulling the blade out of him. "But you missed my heart." The demonic energy from his sword began to heal the wound.

"Not this time" he said as the blade went right at him, this time, silencing him.

POOF! This time, Ryuka was prepared, and the one that was stabbed disappeared into a shadow clone. Byakko felt a hand on his back. "Chidori Nagashi," Ryuka whispered, the electricity flowing throughout his body and stunning Byakko.

"Big mistake" said Byakko as he used that chance to cut off Ryuka's entire arm off and made it unrepairable.

Ryuka frowned. As the blade came aimed at Ryuka's arm, the electricity that emitted from his body stopped it, conducting through the sword. Byakko was met with a knee to his gut and an uppercut to his chin.

"Impressive, Seireitou taught you well" he said as he then said, "Zenkai..." and for a moment, Byakko appeared in Zenkai as Ryuka was meerly crushed onto the groud several times, so much that he was soon knocked out. Byakko returned to normal, going to Sachi, "Its over"

"I beg to differ." Ryuka replied, appearing behind Byakko with incredible speed. Twisting himself around and channeling chakra into his foot, he kicked Byakko, slamming him into the mountainside and creating a crater.

Sachi's eyes widened in horror, but she fell to her knees. "Damn it....!" She cursed.

"Keep attacking me, and all you will get is your face in the ground." Ryuka said coldly.

"You idiot" Byakko said as he got up, wiping off the dirt on his shirt. He quickly disappeared and reappeared and sliced Ryuka in the back, "Ironic, i sliced you in the back just as how you stabbed everyone in the back with your betrayal" he stated

Ryuka leaned forward, and Byakko's slice scarred his back. "Shinobi...do not require friends." He replied, twisting around and thrusting his fist into Byakko's gut. He watched as one of the crows flew forward into Sachi's mouth, to her shock, and she was forced to swallow it.

"Consider that a gift...Seireitou might do something....you might regret." The Uchiha spoke, shoving Byakko on his back.

"Loser" said Byakko getting up, "Plus.... i wouldnt count Seireitou out yet" he said smiling

Ryuka closed his eyes. "Hn. He will fail. People who are blinded by sympathy and compassion...cannot defeat me." He glared into Byakko's eyes. "Where is she? Where is.... Kyashi?"

"Thats none of your concern, traitor" he said looking at Ryuka's eyes, "Seireitou knows what he's doing, besides, only he possesses the brains to take on Echo, plus, power comes from the heart, the bodies desire to protect those close to him, which is why Seireitou and Hikaru are the strongest 2 beings on this planet, so your wrong, ECHO will lose" he stated

Ryuka closed his eyes once again. "Even desire and their own spirit cannot fathom the power of Hell itself. You are a disgrace to the shinobi for thinking so."

Sachi coughed, as the crow made itself into her body, where it dissipated into chakra. "W...what did you...?" She managed to ask.

"I transferred some of my power to you." Ryuka said, turning to Sachi. "Just in case you wish to stop the Hyuga from committing an act that will most likely destroy himself."

"Sachi is loyal to Seireitou and vice-versa, plus, your power doesnt even come close to Seireitou's power, do you even realize that the whole time that he trained you, his power was limited by over 20 to 30 times, his real power can cause planets to fall out of orbit, so dont think that you stand a chance" Byakko retorted

"Echo shall have his head." Ryuka replied simply. "But Seireitou is not my concern as of now." He sheated his sword, which strangely was not used, aside from healing him. "I will ask again. Where is she?"

"Thats for me to know and you to beat out of me, if you even can" grinned Byakko

"Ryuka, calm down" Evan walks in

Ryuka twitched. "Gladly." He pulled out the Shadow Blade once again, which was emitting with dark energy.

Byakko vs Ryuka
Ryuka wasted no time. He pointed his sword at Byakko, and a dragon's head made of his own demonic energy materialized behind him. Opening its mouth, the dragon took accurate aim at the other man and fired. "Fire Release: Blazing Cannon!"

Byakko meerly sliced it away and shot a Rainbow Refraction straight at Ryuka.

Ryuka returned the favor, raising his sword overhead and slicing the attack once it came close. He charged at Byakko, channeling the dark energy into his sword and raising it in a diagonal swing towards his head. However, he wasn't surprised to see the other man block it and lock with his sword. "Impressive." He stated.

"You too, out of all of Seireitou's students, you have to be the second best" Byakko stated

A slow smile came across Ryuka's face. "He taught me well. Hopefully, once I find her, Kyashi will be an even better challenge..." He said, as he and Byakko clashed blades.

He forced Byakko back, aiming a stab that struck through his body, nearly missing his heart. "Hurts good, doesn't it?" He taunted.

"Yeah, if it isnt too much to ask, can you do my back next? Your little treatment accually took care of a little crick in my chest thats been bothering me" he stated, "Plus, you are only second to Haizo Hyuga as seireitou's student"

Ryuka rolled his eyes, before retracting his blade and axe-kicking Byakko in the face. Flipping away, he unleashed another wave of dark energy towards him.

Sachi merely looked on. "Byakko-san..." She said . "Seireitou told me to meet up with you in the Kitsune Realm. What did he want you to tell me?"

A Secret Pact
Seireitou teleported to the commend center of CHIMERA where Shishimaru was alone. "Seireitou Hyuga!" yelled out Shishimaru. "Relax Shishimaru, im here with a proposal for you"

"I'm listening..." said Shishimaru with a smile, filled with blood lust.

"Your goal is to control the world, right? Well, here is my deal, if you agree to follow my commands without letting Echo know, then i promise you control of the world. With my power and brains, along with the freinds i have, thats a deal too good to resist, right? My goal is meerly to stop this war, even if it means giving you control, how about it?" asked seireitou holding out his hand

"Okay then..." said Shishimaru as he shook Seireitou's hand, "If you betray me, I will kill you."

"Relax, i have no reason to, as long as you give me control of your armies instead of Echo and this deal stays between just us two, then you will get the whole world" he smiled, shaking Shishimaru's hand. "Ok, so, right now, just take over the Guardians, okay" seireitou stated

"He's not in control of my army, I am." said Shishimaru, "But he has a seat on my planning team and I will give you a seat on my planning team, I can read thoughts and you can't block it."

"Sorry, but if you truly want me to win this war for you, i need full control, you may appear to be in full control but i will be in the shadows and you will consult me, trust me, i already have a plan to take over the world for you in a little over a week or so" he smiled, "Also, remember, no-one is to know of this, only you and i know of this, understand, so, do we have a final deal?" asked seireitou

Instantaneously, a slash appeared on Seireitou's eye, "That's just a taste of my power." said Shishimaru, "I want to see the plan, first."

The slash disappeared instantly, "Interesting, in order to make sure you dont betray me, ill tell you part one and two first, first, i will have you take over the Guardians, then, using the Guardians, and my connection to Taisinkoha, we will take over the 5 Great Nations, okay, are you okay with me now?" he smiled

Sam heard the whole conversation, and wisped back to HQ immediately. "Ean, Seiretou and Shishimaru are making a war pact that involves gaining control of the Guardians."

Seireitou had knocked out Sam and destroyed the message and recording before they found out.

"SCREW THIS!" yelled Shishimaru as he disappeared and reappeared on the roof, with a giant ball of white fire above him and threw it at the HQ of the Guardians, like meteor, "INSEISHINDOU!"

Seireitou stopped him, "Relax, i destroyed the message before it reached them, they do not know of our pact, let that be proof of our alllaince, alright, Shishimaru" he said smiling, throwing Sam's unconcious body at Shishimaru's feet

"I guess you saw my other plan." said Shishimaru, "Okay, let's go on with it."

"Exellent, so, for now, take over the Land of the Sun and send me a private message when you succede.... i, in the meantime will pretend to stay on their team as not to raise suspicion" Seireitou said disappearing.

At the Guardians HQ, the offensive was successfully pushed back, And Ean was with the other captains in the conference room. James was speaking: "The offensive has been stopped, but we know that's not the last of it. Ean, play the part of the message you got," Ean pulled out the radio, which had the recording of what little information it had, and began to play "Ean, Seireitou and Shishi-" at that point the radio went dead. "This is what worries me. either Seiretou and Shishimaru are interacting in a way that could spell doom, or something else happened." Scarr spoke up, "So what are going to do?"

"I'm going to trust Seireitou on this one. Besides, you all know what to do if anything goes wrong, right?" all of the captains nodded. "Good, then meeting adjourned."

Twilight Upon The Wind
Echo had expected that his Lord would be too haste to wait on him, so he went on a solo mission to the Land of Wind. He stealthily reached the top walls surrounding the city and held his arm out. He had spent the entire night before meditatig, he knew how much chakra he was going to have to use. Slowly he raised his head, showing the power that made him invincible, the Suukougan. "Rise. He spoke calmly as dust scattered across the entire Sand Village, clouding everyone's vision. When the dust cleared, a massive army of undead Sand Ninja had risen, beginning to tear everything apart.

Gaara, Kazekage of the Sand, was on the roof of his office, scanning the area to look for the cause of these monstrosities. He squinted when he saw a black figure on the outer walls. All he could see was a horrifying green glow. He attepted to control sand and fly his way to the wall but he was immobilized. He was beginning to sweat as he was overcome by his darker thoughts. Gaara began to stumble around the roof, unable to control his body. Finally he tripped to far and plummeted of the roof to the evil infested ground below, either to die or become a part of Echo's army.

"The Sand has fallen, bow." Everything and everyone still alive in the village bowed to their new master, a master who had successfully anticipated the actions of his untrusting master.

A few hours later, about the time of Shishimaru and Seireitou's meeting, Echo's minions had successfully installed his personal defense systems, mysterious towers that surrounded the area, a massive amount in fact that scoped the Land of Wind. And in its first act, Twilight was beginning to spread...

Aftermath in the Sand...
Ryun Uchiha himself finally appeared on the scene. The Land of Mountains' Intelligence had reported on an attack on their allies in the Sand. Ryun had arrived to report to Echo, but found Gaara lying unconscious below his office. "GAARA!" Ryun yelled running to his fallen friend. Gaara moaned and opened his eyes, "Ry..Ryun?" Gaara asked.

"Im here, you'll be okay now." Ryun said applying basic first aid. Ryun flung one of Gaara's arms around his shoulder and leaped on top of the Kage Building, awaiting his meeting with Echo...

Going Ahead
Meanwhile, amist all the chaos, Seireitou was going through with his plans. So far, he had taken over the Shadow Lands by sleeping with their Queen and instituting supreme control. After, he used their people to take over the Warning Lands. Finally, 2 of the 7 continents were under Seireitou's full monarchy and he headed for the Feudal Lands next.

He traveled to the Forbidden Jade City, the Emperor's captitol of the Feudal Lands. The guards had stopped him but he meerly killed all of them without hesitation. He entered the Emperor's room. Seireitou walked up to him, "Dont come any closer, you terrorist!" yelled the Emperor. "Believe me, Sire, you are in no position to be giving me orders" he said as his Geass came into effect. "Now, Give me the Feudal Lands" commanded Seireitou as he used Geass. The Emperor, being a weak individual, gave in and gave the royal jewels of the empire, symbolizing absolute monarchy in the Feudal Lands. Seireitou then silenced the previous emperor and threw his body at the guards who just walked in. As Seireitou sat on the throne, the guards bowed to him, accepting him as Emperor. Seireitou meerly laughed, as his plan was starting to come together, the Feudal Lands had also recently took control of the Forgotten Lands away from the Land of the Sun, meaning, Seireitou now possessed 4 of the 7 Continents. He sat on the throne, contemplating his next move....

The Guardians' Predicament
James was thinking about the mess he was in. Without doing anything, he let the world fall into the hands of those who were going for things that they shouldn't. I should be less trusting... Seireitou has taken over the feudal lands, Echo has taken the land of wind by storm... The kazekage dead... The warning lands occupied... not good... James stood up from his chair in his office, and made his way to the conference room once more.

This time, all of the captains were there, the HQ captains on top of the splinter captains.

Now to discuss the problems at hand...

Rallying a Resistance
Back at the Guardians HQ, the captains were in a meeting of the utmost importance. The forgotten lands were under different control, and the feudal lands were too close for comfort.

"We're in a situation where what we do could affect our outcome drastically from here on out. I'm thinking that we should pull out and concentrate on the border. What do you think?" said James to his team.

Wasa spoke: "I think that spreading out the forces among the northern splinters and having reserves on the areas behind them would work better than just pure concentration," he said.

Ean chimed in, "Having the northern splinters work as military bases would work best if the other forces were divided evenly among the bases, so the armies have the same commodities that the others do."

Scarr spoke with a tone of concern, "But won't that leave the HQ open? We need the network for radios."

James considered all of the ideas. "Alright, here's the plan. Ean, Scarr, Suzana, Wasa, Ledean, Jake, John, and Gaston will be on the front lines. The rest will be here with me at the HQ. The goal is to keep any forces from entering the land of sun. Got it?"

The group nodded and went to their respective posts.

Outside, alchemists were starting to attack and ships of reinforcements from the Land of Spires could be seen on the horizon.

Ryun had been waiting for hours and had decided that Echo had more important things to do. He left a coded message letting Echo know to come find him when he was ready. Ryun took a wounded Gaara and teleported back to Yamagakure 2. His top advisers informed him of Seireitou's movements and of the fate of the Guardians. Ryun was disturbed and angered but not deterred. Tora came into his office and sat with him, and soon after so did Sanji.

"It's time..." Ryun thought, "We've watched long enough. Our allies and friends turning on each other. The world has been thrown into strife. We will fight and we will give our all to protect this land we've worked so hard to build."

Sanji nodded, "I'll take our Naval forces and prepare for retaliation to Seireitou's rule. I'll also contact Hikaru for advice on what to do."

Tora and Ryun nodded, then Tora spoke, "I'll take our ground forces along with the ground forces of the Ashi and secure our borders. Then I will await your orders Ryun."

Ryun nodded sadly, though they were both just his cousins, they had become his brothers over his lifetime. He trusted them more than any human on earth, "I wish you two knew how painful it is to send you into harms way. Please....don't die." Ryun said shedding a few tears. Tora and Sanji put their arms around him and the three cousins sat and prayed as the storm outside grew and the thunder rolled....

A knock soon came on Ryun's door, asking for entrance...

Ryun raised his head and spoke, "Come in..."

The door opened as several ninjas flooded the room, making way for a man to enter, none other then Seireitou, in his new formal emperor attire, entered the room, "Well, if it isnt the 10th Gokage sennin, Ryun Uchiha" said seireitou sarcasticly

Ryun's eyes narrowed. He placed two fingers on his head and tapped Tora and Sanji, teleporting them elsewhere. Ryun himself stood, confident in his own abilities. In his eyes, the Kagirinaigan appeared and he gave Seireitou an evil look.

"What do you want?" Ryun said as his power began to fluctuate.

"Oh, come now, is that anyway to address an old friend" said seireitou laughing. "But seriously" he said as his Geass bypassed the Kagirinaigan and entered Ryun's subconcious. Ryun could resist to a degree but mostly fell under Seireitou's control. "Well, not surprsiing that you can resist, after all, i cant make you kill Tora, your mind wouldnt allow it, however, I order you to remove Echo's control from the 5 Great Nations" he commanded

Ryun grinned with vampiric teeth. Seireitou was immediately forced out of his mind. The last thing he heard was an ear piercing roar. Ryun laughed, "Geass huh? Why must you have everyone's abilities. Hardly fitting of a Hyuga." Ryun said. "Echo's control of the nations isn't my buisness, nor do I want it to be." Ryun pointed his hand forward and sparks flew out, "However, if you want anything from me...well lets just say your at a dead end."

"Ryun, let me show you something" he said holding out his hand, showing an orb of a disclosed area where Tora and Sanji were locked up and were being threatened to be killed. "Now, i ask that you give me control of the 6 Great Nations, or else, your "brothers" will die, do we have an understanding" he sneered, holding out a paper for Ryun's signature, "All you need to do is sign and your brothers will return unharmed, also, you make one funny move, ill kill them on the spot, do we understand eachother" said Seireitou as Ryun sat down as Seireitou placed the contract on his desk.

Ryun gave a mild glance then, to Seireitou's surprise, grinned. "Ha...hahahahahahhahahah!!!" Ryun laughed. "Not without a fight." Ryun teleported to where Tora and Sanji were. Seireitou watched in horror as Sanji was teleported to the Land of Mountains fleet and Ryun and Tora did the Fusion Dance. The new opponent teleported back to Seireitou's location. Then with a mixed voice said, "It's over Hyuga."

"You always were a fool, you think im that pathetic?" said seireitou as millions of Sekki-Sekki Chains covered the fusion as the fusion soon split, "These are made of the Sekki-sekki rock, a material stronger then even Katchin, that negates any and all chakra and energy, no matter how powerful and sucks you dry" he said as Ryun fell out, mortally weakened due to the fusion and the rock. Seireitou picked up Sanji by the neck as he threw the contract at Ryun, "Sign it, or he's dead"

Seireitou's Match
Toryun looked at Seireitou with malice, "If you kill him, then you leave me no reason to give you my land or any others. Not to mention that if you do, I WILL kill you." the fusion said indifferent.

Seireitou then looked at Ryun with a sincere look in his eyes and sent him something, "Ryun..... i know what im doing" he said as he let Sanji go, "Just sign, you said you wanted this war to end, right? Sign it and it will end" he said

Toryun flinched for a moment, "What is that look in his eyes?" He hesitted, "Why are you doing this...?"

Seireitou closed his eyes, "No-body must know..... but believe me, my destiny is to save this world...... i have a plan, to defeat Echo and end this whole thing" he sent to Ryun's half so the Tora half could not hear

He nodded then signed the paper, "You have control of my land, but the rest of the lands are controled by Echo. You will have to deal with him personally."

"Nope, i dont, when you signed this paper, Echo never officialy took over, plus, with my Geass, i can turn the people against him, now, only the Lost Lands Remain" he said disappearing

Ryun thought for a moment as the fusion split. "Hey, I'm still in this." Ryun said to himself. "Echo..." Ryun thought, "Got to get to him first..." Ryun said teleporting.

Meeting with Shishimaru
Seireitou teleported to Shishimaru's office, "Shishimaru, you here?!"

"Yeah, I'm here." said Shishimaru coming out of the shadows, eating steak, "What do you want?"

"Do you know that Echo Uchiha disobeyed orders, not to mention ruined my plans, and utterly betrayed you today?" said seireitou

"No, I've just been watching the Guardians try to fight back." said Shishimaru smiling with blood lust, "So what he do?!"

"He attempted to take over the Land of Wind, without telling anyone or mentioning anything, dont you realize that if Echo starts doing this kindof stuff, will it be long before he sides with the others and telled them everything. If you truly want this world to be yours, we need Echo to be locked up, so he doesnt risk revealing our plans, or if Hikaru and Ryun, the other Yonkou, which Echo has a friendly relationship with, find out of your plans, they defeat us and take over the entire CHIMERA faction and end your dreams" he stated

"That freaking demon midget!" said Shishimaru, "So what should we do?"

"We need to keep him out of this war before he does something to ruin your plans, do you have any prison cells we can keep him in so he cant gte involved with this anymore?" asked seireitou

"I have one..." said Shishimaru, "It's the one they kept me in when I was 10, I have improved it, so that I can't even break out, unreleased."

"Exellent, lock him up right away, and we will continue with our plans. Also, i have a request to ask, when you rule the world, i wish to have a position of power as your right-hand man, only you will possess more power then me, do we have an agreement?"

"Yeah, lets do it." said Shishimaru as a cloud of smoke emerged from his hand and exited out the window, headed toward Echo to capture him, "Echo won't even see it coming..."

"Exellent, also, make sure Echo doesnt trick you, he's known for being a lying little snake" Seireitou said as he turned, "Im going, ill see you again when the Land of the Sun is taken over, till then" he said, disappearing

A Dark Wind Rising
Hikaru was overseeing the guardians fight against the CHIMERA Faction. He then thought to himself, "What caused this to happen?" He then heard the ringtone on his Crys-Phone that signified Rukia was calling him. He pulled out his phone and said, "What's up?"

"Hikaru," said a distressed Rukia, "The ninja from The Warning Lands have invaded the Lost Lands."

"What?!" yelled Hikaru, "I thought we made it clear that the Lost Lands are neutral for the war."

"Apparently they still want to set up bases in the Lands even though we told them to leave," sighed Rukia. "They're too stubborn."

Hikaru sent a message to James saying, I need a captain of yours to come with me to the Lost Lands. He then sent to Mizu, Mizu, tell Assari and Fusokufuri to follow me to the Lost Lands. He crossed his arms and gritted his teeth. "Tupac," he said the word as if it was a curse word. "I never wanted to be your ally..." He then disappered toward the Guardians Base.

Allies
Kyashi then appeared beside Rukia. "Rukia-san..." She informed. "The Jikokukenin are overseeing the attack....they're allied with the CHIMERA Faction."

Rukia sighed and said, "This might be to our advantage...The Jikokukenin hate Hikaru, but they are completly against the Warning Lands," she looked to the sky, "And they would help Hikaru without a second thought..."

Instantly, Rikka Nagoshi teleported to the two, "Exellent, i found you, Kyashi-san"

Kyashi nodded. "Hello, Rikka. What is it?" She asked politely.

Rukia turned around and asked, "For what reason are you here?"

"That boy, Ryuka is looking for you." she said as she then turned to Rukia, "Also, Rukia, Tupac isnt leadin the invasion, the warning lands were recently taken over...... by Seireitou-kun" she stated.

"What?" asked a surprised Rukia. She then was knocked back by an unseen force, and fainted.

Alliance
Hikaru sensed a disturbance and said, "So it has begun."

Urakih also sensed the disturbance and sent, Hikaru, I guess it's time?

Hikaru nodded, Kill as many as you can, and defend the Lost Lands...

Urakih smiled and said, You know we're gonna be enemies again, right?

Hikaru looked down, ''That is irrelevant. We need to protect our home.''

At the base, James was talking with Hikaru. "Hikaru, I have only half of my captains, so I need as many as I can get. But if you absolutely need them, then I'll send Jenifer Follman with you. Jen! C'mere!" said James to a stressed Hikaru.

Hikaru bowed saying, "Thanks, I'll take any help you got..." He turned to leave and said, "Let's go."

Revelation
Kyashi's widened in shock, but then she closed them again in a grim expression. "Where is he currently?" She asked.

"Who, Seireitou-kun or Ryuka?" asked Rikka.

"I know where Ryuka is," said a young voice, similar to Hikaru's. Naruto Kurosaki was standing in the doorway and said, "Sei is leading the Warning Lands to attack us."

Kyashi's eyes widened in horror. "Seireitou-ani betrayed us?! No....he wouldn't...!" "Damn it..." She cursed. "And Ryuka?"

Rikka nodded, "Ryuka is located in the Land of the Sun, overlooking the invasion of the Guardians....I'm going there. Ryuka may prove an impending threat to the defense there, and I'm one of the few who knows how he fights." "After all, he trained with Sei-ani..."

Naruto's eyes twitched, "Don't tell me that they haven't noticed that Mom fainted. Are all women this stupid?" he muttered to himself, "In case you haven't noticed, my mother is unconcious!"

Kyashi rolled her eyes at Naruto's comment.

"That...that won't help," said Rukia just waking up.

"I dont know what Seireitou-kun is thinking but...... i dont think he betrayed us.... its too early to assume that" Rikka retorted.

Rukia's eyes twitched and said, "Are you ignoring me or something?!"

Naruto sighed and said, "So annoying...Hey Rikka listen."

Rikka turned around and said, "What do you mean, 'That won't help'?"

Seireitou's Intentions
Rukia looked down and said, "I know what Seireitou is trying to accomplish..."

Kyashi and Rikka looked at her, "What?"

Rukia sighed and said, "My Kekkei Genkai has an ability that allows me to see into the future at times. I have forseen all of this."

"So, what's he planning?" asked Rikka.

Rukia looked up and said, "He is going to rule the world under a dictatorship."

"Wha! Why, doesnt your sight have some sort of reason as to why!?" asked Rikka.

Rukia smiled and said, "As a matter of fact, it does. I know the ture intention he has behind this treachery."

"Why?" asked Rikka calmly, "Besides Byakko-kun, Seireitou-kun was the only guy i loved as a man and as a brother..... i can't accept that he wants to control the world" she thought to herself.

"That's for me to know, and you to find out," she smiled sweetly.

Rikka began to cry and grabbed Rukia by the shirt, "Tell me right now!!"

Rukia shrugged, "Why should I? I feel no need to tell you of his plan until after all has come to pass." She released herself from Rikka's grip, "And besides, he wouldn't be too happy if he found out I knew his plans."

"Can you give me some kind of hint?!" asked Rikka, letting go.

"Temperal Prime Directive," replied Rukia, "Only I can be aware of the details. You on the other hand, no one is telling me that I need to tell you of his plans." She turned to walk away, "I only look out for the people of my country, and right now, your so-called friend is wishing to take possesion of the Lost Lands." She looked to Naruto and said, "Naruto, take the Wolf's Scroll to America, where Seireitou cannot find it."

Naruto nodded and said, "Consider it done."

Leaders
"Sorry, but, you cant" said Litou Raignoko as he stole it from Naruto. "Sorry, but seireitou needs this, you cant hide it" he stated

"No!!!" yelled Naruto. "Give that back! It's our national treasure! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!!!" Purple Chakra began to seep onto him and he started to growl.

Rukia then said, "We need to get out of here now."

"But what about the scroll?" asked the demon Naruto.

"Forget it," said Rukia. "We can't win..."

Litou pointed at Naruto, Bakudo #99: Bankin he stated as Naruto was sealed under deep spiritual fabric and thousands of limiting needles, "You, woman" he said to Rukia. "you understand Seireitou's plan, right, so why arent you helping" he asked.

Rukia scowled, then smirked, "Look at the scroll for a sec..."

Litou opened the scroll and saw the words, "Nice try, you pathetic bastard."

Rukia smiled and said, "You think I'd be in charge of such an important artifact? Hikaru is the only one to know where it is hidden.  You wasted your time!"

"Listen to me Woman, after the Guardians are taken over, Seireitou will have 6 continents under his control and all 6 will attack the Lost Lands, even with this scroll, seireitou must also secure a militeristic victory to truly rule this land" he stated.

"He can never do that," said Rukia looking down, "Even if he manages to have the government under his control," she then looked up and yelled, "HE CAN NEVER STOP US FROM DEFEATING HIM!!!"

Kyashi growled, walking over to Naruto and stretched out her hand towards him. Immediately a mixture of Kyosuke's chakra and her own began to pull the fabric and needles apart, freeing Naruto, although the purple chakra had faded. "What are Seireitou-ani's plans?" She demanded. "Why is he going to such great lengths as to try to rule over the entire world?!"

"It's for peace, but that's bull," said Ean who was on a rock above the group.

Rukia looked over at Ean and said, "You're right, somewhat...I know the absolute full of the plan of his."

"Im not telling you what it is, but he has dubbed it the Peace Requiem, not even i know what it is but..... Seireitou is the acting leader of Ashiki, i will follow him" he said. "And you, Rikka, how dare you forget your place" he sneered then facing Kyashi, "Listen to me, girl, Seireitou knows what he's doing, he is one of the Yonkou and only person in this world to rival Hikaru in power and Echo in smarts, remember that" he finally stated.

"I know his kind," said Rukia, "He's nothing but a fool drunk on power. Hikaru may seem weaker than him, but," she looked to Litou and exclaimed, "Hikaru has, is, and still will be stronger than that idiot of a leader of yours!!!"

"But he's going to kill a lot of people to get what he wants, is that it?" said Ean, now on the ground.

Kyashi's eyes widened. "Seireitou is not an idiot!" She defended, suddenly sure of herself. "He knows what he's doing!"

Rukia looked at Kyashi shocked. She then said, "You are still a stupid child, following him out of respect and because he was your mentor is foolish."

"I follow him out of knowledge..." Kyashi replied. "I know Seireitou, and he wouldn't reverse his own goals just like that. You're the one who's foolish."

Rukia scowled at Kyashi and said, "You are similar to a blind person, being led by yet another blind person." She sighed and said, "Believe what you want to believe, I won't argue with a child like you."

"We will wait and see..... till then, remember that not only 6 continents will come after you but.... CHIMERA is also on Seireitou's side. Seireitou also managed to gte Echo locked up so he will no longer be a nuisance" he began, "Rukia, i have a question to ask of you"

"Six? How about five, at most?" said Ean.

At that moment, Suzaku Hyuga, Seireitou's son appeared, "Where's dad?"

''What? Sei hasn't even told his own son?'' thought Ean.

But then, a bullet from a sniper rifle came flying at Suzaku, just to be deflected with an arrow and the sniper fell out of a tree with an arrow in his heart. "Suzaku-kun, I found you." said Kokuangyo Hyuga as she appeared next to Suzaku.

"Kokuangyo-chan.... good, you werent hurt" he said smiling as he then faced the group, "Where is my father?"

"...." Kyashi glanced at Rukia.

"I would assume looking for it, right Rukia?" said Ean.

"Hikaru has it under control," replied Rukia. She turned to Litou and said, "What do you have to ask me?"

"If you are refering to Damocles, the one Hikaru has under control is a fake, Seireitou's father kept it hidden away so only he could use it..... in fact, right now, only seireitou's half brother, Kenji knows its current location" Litou said.

"Oh," said Rukia, "I thought he meant something else...although, the Damocles is the least of my problems."

"Are you blind, Damocles was designed with Fleija warheads, capable of massive damage, also..... i wanted to know what you are thinking about, besides Damocles" he said.

Rukia shrugged, "A weapon of mass destruction? So what? So Sei has a big gun...whatever..."

"Wrong, Damocles is more then a weapon, but can threaten the very survival of th planet, are you that ignorant?!" said Litou.

"Seireitou is stupid," replied Rukia, "But he isn't stupid enough to blow up the planet. If he did, what then would he do?"

"Whatever, anyway, tell me what you were thinking about besides Damocles, now, or ill just probe your mind for it" he stated.

"I was thinking of my sweet son," Rukia smiled sweetly, "Who you shoved spikes into for your unholy cause."

"You lying b****, whatever, it seems the war is continuing, Seireitou's goal will finally be accomplished" he stated.

"I still think your leader is a child trying to play king," replied Rukia, "He is too young to understand the extent of his actions."

An Ancient Weapon
After his meeting with Shishimaru, Seireitou went to Imperushima, to speak with his incarcerated brother, Kenji Hyuga...

Seireitou went into sector 6 and entered his proson

Kenji looked over, "Hmm, i shoud count myself lucky, daddy's favorite little boy has graced me with his presence in my lonly prison cell" he stated

"You should count yourself lucky i decided to spare you" seireitou retorted as Kenji sneered

"Besides, i came here to ask you something. When our father was alive, he was working on something called the Damocles, correct?" asked seireitou

"What about it" retorted Kenji....

"I need it, father and you are the only ones who know its location, tell me, right now" seireitou stated

"Heh, why brother, doing something naughty, are we?" asked Kenji, smirking

"Shut up! Where is it!" he retorted

Kenji sighed, "Fine, if you go to the top nothern part of the Feudal Lands, you'll find a cave there that looks very unusual, enter it and you will find a door, leading to a place known as C's World, there you will find your answer" said Kenji

"Thank you" said seireitou disappearing

C's World
Seireiotu traveled to the Feudal Lands once more as he was greeted, seeing as he is the current emperor and goes to where his brother said the enterance was.

"Now, where's that cave he mentioned" he says as he finds a small little cavern opening and walks inside...

Inside, he finds a red glowing door with a Geass symbol on it, "Interesting.... i wonder, did dad have a Geass" he wondered as he touched the door as a bright light shone and seireitou's soul was sucked into the passage.

Inside the realm, a man walked up to him, "Who are you?!" yelled the man

"Im Sei.... Hokarou Hyuga, i left something here a while back i came to retrieve" he said

"Very well, Master Hokarou, here is the Akasha Scroll" the man said handing Seireitou a scroll

"This will allow you to summon the Damocles to your desired location" the man said as he disappeared

"Unusual.... this world.... what is this place.... well, never mind, i have more important things to deal with" he said as he returned to his body and left the cave, the scroll hidden away on his body.

The War Intensifies
Back outside the Guardians HQ, the reinforcements from The Land Of Spires arrived and five of the summoners that came with the reinforcements summoned a giant soul tied to a suit of armor with the face of an Oni, holding a Kanabō.

In the north of the land of sun, the eight captains who were sent to defend the surprisingly small amount of land that was the border between the land of sun and the feudal lands were bored. There were no more soldiers being sent out, and they had gotten to sparring eachother for fun. Suzana was winning her fight with Ean, as she always does, and Wasa and Gaston were duking it out with eachother. Ledean and John were talking and Jake and Scarr were playing a card game. Suddenly, the group noticed the large army that had been coming at them for a while. Ean grabbed Suzana and threw her on his megabike while instructing the others to spread out and set up defensive positions, in pairs. Ean and Suzana drove off in one direction while Ledean helped John onto her thunderbird, which flew away in a giant gust of wind. Gaston and Wasa turned and flash stepped away, in the opposite direction of Eana and Suzana. Jacob hoisted Scarr onto his shoulders, and got onto his own warbike, and drove off towards the army itself. The war had flared up again.

Ryuka couldn't help but look, even though he was locked in a furious battle against Byakko. "Soon....everything will be destroyed...." He said quietly.

At that moment, Seireitou appeared, "Ryuka, its over, Echo has been locked up and CHIMERA is now lead by me and Shishimaru, i control you now" he stated

Ryuka stared at him emotionlessly. "You're working with Shishimaru? Hn. Sachi won't be so happy to hear that..." He replied.

Sachi's eyes widened a bit. "....Sei-kun?"

"Silence, you will address me as Lord Seireitou, im your supierior, so shut up" he to Ryuka said as he faced Byakko, "Byakko, it has been obtained"

The eight captains at the HQ looked from the wall at the enemy they were up against. "James, that spirit is from the demonic source that Echo Uchiha gives off. Light spells might work best on it. Perhaps you might try a solar field seal execution? The runes are in my head," said old man Hollister to James. "...No, that would take too long. Take out the summoners, they have control over the summon. If they're knocked out, the the summon will disappear. Later, we'll lock up the summoners in energy bonds to keep them from doing any damage. Now, four will stay, four will go. I'm staying. Now, those who want to go, go now." said James in response as Jenfier, Megan, Emz, and Richard went off to fight the attackers. The rest stayed behind. This is getting crazy... thought James.

Sachi stared at Seireitou. "Seireitou-kun..." She said, getting up from the ground. "What's going on?"

"Dont worry about it, Sachi-chan, just do what i assigned you to do, alright?"

Seireitou soon left Ryuka and went to the Guardian's HQ.

Ryuka frowned. "I think it's time for me to leave." He said, as his image was slowly dissipating into flame. "I'll leave you to deal with Seireitou..." With that, he completely disappeared.

Sachi, although still confused, turned to Byakko. "Let's go!"

While James looked out his window, a knock came upon his door

While going over scenarios of the battles in his head, James answered "Yes, who is it?"

The door was pushed down as Seireitou alone walked in, "James... its been awhile"

"Yes it has..." said James as the room suddenly turned dull, a barrier had been placed on the room. "No offense, I just don't trust you. Sam's half-message has put all of my men on edge, and they urged me to do this, so I thought why not use it. So why are you here?"

"Im here for control of the Land of the Sun, your choice, do i get it peacefully or do i need to force you?" he asked as his Geass came into effect.

Suddenly, words written in a strange language formed all around the two. James remained unaffected, and said "Rune barriers are great, huh? Let me translate: No techniques of any kind may be used here. Hmm. Doesn't state the consequences. Oh well, time for negotiations. Hwy do you need the land of the sun? For that plan of yours that's supposed to do something with peace?" said James.

"How about this, you give it to me and i promise CHIMERA will halt their attack, deal?" asked seireitou, "Besides, your barrier doesnt affect my Geass as long as i possess my special scroll" he stated

"I just want to know why you're doing this. My captains are not only risking their lives for this, but you're also manipulating others to fight and even die. If you tell me why, I'll get the message to the attackers outside that they have two hours to leave, otherwise I'll use space-time transport to get them back to the where they came from, and then pull my stationed captains back from the front lines and make this the most heavily fortified place on the planet. Unless you have a more effective way to bring peace?" said James, ignoring the Geass after inscribing something into the air, adding onto the barrier.

"James, trust me, i just need this place... or else... ill crush the Guardians with the other 5 continents i retained control of" seireitou stated

"I think I've figured it out. You need this land for your plan. Dictatorship will bring control, and a bad one will bring hatred with it. But, committing suicide will not help the situation. Unless you're extremely sure that you want to go through with this, I'm not giving up this land. All of my friends and family, my captains, guardsmen, even others, they all live here. So tell me. Are you sure that this will work?" said James with total severity.

Seireitou stared at James with angered seriousness, "Im positive"

James looked out of the window at the battle going on right outside the walls. "...Fine. Here's what I'll do. I'll pull out my men and keep them here, just as long as we stay independent. You can do what you want, but no interference, okay?" said James as he turned to Seireitou. "That is, of course, if you have no need for our services..."

"No, i need control of this nation as the leader, if you refuse, then i have no choice but to weaken this nation and arrest you" he stated

James considered this. "..I have an idea. How about a compromise?" when Seireitou's face remained unamsued, he continued. "I'll act like you have control over me, because either I do that or I don't leave this barrier and you can't touch me with that Geass of yours. It works for both of us, you get your nation, I get my organization, and we're both happy."

"Or" he said as he snapped his fingers and several Feudal Lands ninja arrived and arrested James by tying his hands together. "Or, i arrest you and take this place by force"

"Never become a diplomat Sei, you suck at negotiations," said James as he ripped the rope and jumped out of the window, saying "I'm taking my organization from this world, so you can have this land. Rule wisely!" As he made his way to the top of the skyscraper, James used a selective teleportation to move all of the Guardians, even the captains in the north, from the world, leaving Seireitou in control of the land of sun. A final message was left for him as he fumed over his loss. Feel free to clone the people who left, we'll come back afterwards it said. And so, James was stubborn up to the last.

The Wolf's Scroll
Hikaru was wondering about the different events unfolding. He, Mizu, and Jenifer were heading toward Kagegakure 2 to assist in defending the capital from Seireitou. He then said, "I need to check something, you guys go on ahead."

Seireitou was preparing for the strike of the Lost Lands, to finally end the war. He decides to meet with CHIMERA operatives who are preparing along with Taisinkoha to attack the Lost Land's capital.

Jenifer was walking along, thinking. ''The base was fine when I left... I wonder how everybody is doing...''

Hikaru went to the entrance of Shadow Island and said, "Guess Sei would figure to look here huh?" He sighed and cupped his hands together. He then said, "Good thing I hid it elsewhere." He then fired a blast at the Rocks above the cave, sealing it shut. "There, I hope Sei falls for this diversion." He turned to walk away.

Suddenly, Hikaru felt a presense behind him, to see none other then Seireitou. "Well, Hikaru, so you hid it somewhere else, why am i not surprised" said seireitou.

Hikaru scratched his head, "What if the scroll really is in the cave? I could be tricking you."

"Either way, hand it over, we dont have to continue this war, just hand it over" seireitou stated.

Hikaru frowned, "The Scroll is not a collectable for you to put on your shelf you child." He then turned to walk away, "You are dealing with powers that are beyond what you can imagine."

"Hikaru, ill worry about that, just hand it over before i destroy your whole family and village...... by hiding that scroll, who are you truly protecting?" asked seireitou.

"Your threats are idle," said Hikaru, "I know you don't wish to kill Rukia and Naruto, or even the village. And even if you did, I can prevent those who aren't children of God from entering Hell." He chuckled and said, "Either way, you ultimatly lose."

"Hikaru...." said seireitou looking down, "Dont be a fool, or ill kill off every last person in Kagegakure 2!" he yelled but his eyes were sincere, as if having another meaning.

Hikaru noticed this and said, "This is idiotic. If you do go through with the Peace Requiem, you'll end up as the most hated person in history."

"Hikaru....you don't think I know that....all my life, I survived...even at times were I should have died....but instead, others died and I had lived.....I'm gonna repay that and set things straight" he stated, drawing KyuubiTaishou, "Give it to me now."

Hikaru sighed and said, "I cannot give you the actual scroll, however," Hikaru turned around, "Come to Kagegakure as if yo are going to overthrow it, and I'll give you a scroll similar to the Wolf's Scroll, but with secrets of our nation that are able to be shared. I will still be in possesion of the real scroll." He smiled and added, "This'll look realistic, and at the same time, my countries secrets stay secret. You accomplish you goal, and I'm protecting my nation, everyone's happy." He held out his hand to Seireitou, "Is this resonable?"

A piece of paper fltted out of thin air, landing face-up in front of Hikaru. It read: ''Of course not, it didn't work for me. Good luck though. --James''

Hiakru wrote on the back of the paper, No reason I shouldn't try... He then sent the note back to James.

"I'm not accepting no fakes, hand it over....now!" Seireitou stated.

"It's this or nothing, Sei," replied Hikaru. "Those secrets are not to be known to the other nations. Even in the peace treaty of the Lost Lands and the 6 Great Nations, the scroll I gave was the original, but only I could've opened it.  After what happened to Haizo, I hid it away for the safety of us all.  That is why I shall never give you the original.  It is of too much importance to be given away in this manner."

The paper immediately came back. Told 'ya. it then burned up into a heap of ashes.

"....Hikaru, during the Haizo incident, you finally acknoledged me as an equal...something I waited forever to hear..... if anyone, I thought you would understand my motives....this may sound stupid and shallow...but....I considered you somewhat....of a brother....I need that scroll....even if i have to take it from you" he said, blade at the ready.

Hikaru considered for a moment and then said, "Alright, I'll let you have it for a while, but here's my conditions: 1. Put the Scroll somewhere it'll be safe, and won't get dirty or torn, 2. Don't attempt to read the contents of it, 3. Promise me you'll give it back when this is over." He looked to Seireitou, "This is my final offer. I'll let you have the scroll for a while, just leave everyone in the Lost Lands alone.  If you do not accept this, you'll have to kill me for the scroll, and even then, I still won't tell you. It's this or nothing, got it?"

"Sorry Hikaru.....my plans involve me taking Lost Lands....I'm not settling for a comprimise, on guard, Hiakru!" stated seireitou.

Hikaru sighed and asked, "And why couldn't you have settled for the previous plan I had? Geez, you're so stubborn." He turned to walk away and he disappeared.

In Other World
Hikaru appeared in the plains of Other World and sat by a tree and began to think over the different matters. He wondered why Seireitou was being so unreasonable. He sighed and began to munch on an apple he shot off the tree with a small Ki Blast.

The Conqueror
Shishimaru was met by Echo on his way to the Land of Winds. "Lord Shishimaru." Said Echo triumphantly. "I noticed your engagement on the Guardians' forces, so I decided to use the distraction to expand your empire." Said Echo as he kneeled before Shishimaru, detecting something strange in his master. "Is something wrong sir?"

"Hn, I don't see anything wrong." Ryuka's voice said, appearing a few feet behind them. "After all, plans like yours go smooth."

"Whats that!?" said Shishimaru as he pointed to behind Echo, "It's Tuari Fire with no cloths!"

Ryuka sweatdropped. "I do not look like Tuari Fire." He muttered.

Mizu interjected through telepathy, Yeah, she's cuter and ruder than you.

"Oh, stop, you'll make me blush." Ryuka drawled sarcastically.

Mizu then said, Very funny...sides, I got Assari anyway...

Echo rolled his eyes. "I've been there sir."

"No, behind you." said Shishimaru as he thought, ''"How hand do I have to try to get these guy's to turn around?..."'

"Seriously though sir, congratulations on your victory over the Guardians, but there some extremely important matters we need to discuss, involving the defense systems I've installed." Echo said, noticing that Shishimaru smelled like loser. Not just any loser though...Seireitou. He thought.

"Really" said a voice from a distance as Echo was covered in Sekki-sekki chains, as every single one of the Guardian captains surrounded Echo, disabling his power from being used. A clapping noise could be heard from the shadows as Seireitou, in his formal emperor attire, walked out, smiling. "As smart as ever, Echo.... and dont try to escape, those chains are made from sekki-sekki, meaning they have abilities to disable your chakra from being used and dont think im stupid enough to fall for a clone or subsitution, there is no way out of this, demon child" seireitou stated

"...." Was Ryuka's annoyed response.

"Okay, screw this!" said Shishimaru as a cloud of smoke encompassed Echo and made him disappear, into a jail cell. Then, Shishimaru cased a genjutsu on Ryuka that made him see nosebleed inducing images.

A vein appeared in Ryuka's head. "GAH!" Before he had a third nosebleed, he used the Sharingan to break the genjutsu. "Jesus." He muttered. "I'm just here to watch, you jerk."

Seireitou's eyes twitched, "Well, thats one way to handle it"

How uncool... sent Mizu.

Echo closed his eyes. "I must say that this is an impressive feat, attempting to defeat me in a such a cheap manner." Thinking Echo was conceding, Seireitou smiled. "-But I'm afraid that I don't need chakra, to become chakra." Said Echo as he dissolved into think air, initiating the Chakra Sync.

Echo appeared in front of the Guardians each literally imploded simultaniously, as if they were being ripped apart by thin air. Echo's image appeared, still careless. "Ryuka, let's go."

"Good enough for me." Ryuka replied, staring to walk off with Echo again.

"Echo, you idiot" said seireitou as the captains used a techniuqe called "Almight Light Cage" and sealed Echo in a lighten up prison, where even chakra could not be used, so Chakra Sync was useless. "Echo, i meerly wish to speak to you"

Ryun busted in, "ECHO!!!" he screamed at the top of his lungs breaking the chains. "Seireitou you've gone too far." Ryun said as his fox eyes manifested.

Then, Shishimaru prepared to cast a more powerful version of the Genjutsu on both Echo and Ryuka.

"Shut up Ryun" he said then turning back on Echo, "Echo, your weakness is your chakra sync, once used, you may no longer access your chakra for a month, so right now, you made a foolish mistake" he said, "But like i said, im here to ask you something"

With every Guardian dead, this could not be accomplished. Echo yet spoke. "Fine, but I'm short on time. Betrayal from the man I respect most kind of makes my day suck."

Ryuka turned to Seireitou, staring at the Hyuga intently.

Ryun stood staring at both of them, "One wrong move Seireitou...just one..."

"Like i said Echo, you used Chakra Sync and its weakness is that you may no longer use your chakra for a month, so..... you are in no position to demand anything of me, especially while inside the Light Cage, but anyway....... where is the Akasha Key?" asked seireitou

"First of all, it's not deactivated yet, secondly, I've made preperations, my chakra is secure. Plus, the Guardians are dead, so what cage?"

"Well, it matters not, this cage has a special untrackable energy that was designed for your little Chakra Sync and any other tricks you had up your sleeve, your stuck there and dont even think about calling me a fool....." he said as then looked Echo straight in the eye, "Where is the Akasha Key?"

"What I mean is that the Guardians could not have placed me in it because they are all dead, and the Chakra is one with nature, and as long as there is life, there is the Chakra Sync. And I don't play with keys."

"Im not playing games here, they arent dead" said Seireitou as from the surroundings, the guardians were still maintaining the cage. "Secondly, who said anything about nature, this was artificially created for the sole purpose of no chakra being able to pass through it, i used much time and studying to prepare this so dont give me your pathetic drivel.... now then.... its over, your plans are over..... CHIMERA no longer serves you.... 6 of the 7 continents fall under my control, even the Guardians fell under my control.... its over echo, and dont think you have a way out of this, i know every trick you have.... after all.... we do have a past together, dont we" seireitou began

"Goodbye Seireitou." Said Echo as each of his specially designed towers vibrated, controlling the mind of everyone in The Land of Wind's borders. "I too, made preparations." Said Echo as the zombie Serieitou unlocked the cage for him. "And like your fancy cage, my towers are unique too." Said Echo as he snapped Seireitou and Shishimaru's neck. He looked sorrowful as he killed his master. "I am truly sorry sir, you taught me so much, and I'll never forget that."" He looked up. "Alright Ryun, we're out." Said Echo as he and Ryun vanished.

Before they vanished, seireitou locked both of them in the cage once more, as the towers came crashing down, from explosions as seireitou laughed, "I made preparations too, Echo. I had Ryun give me control of the Nations meerly to catch you offguard.... you fell for it.... also, you did my job and killed Shishimaru, now, im finally can continue with my plans, he said as himself, echo and ryun were teleported to Inperushima.

Ryuka slapped his forehead. "Jeez..." He muttered, disappearing.

They were brought to a place, unimaginable, sector 7. He locked them within a cage with the same principles of the light cage, "I told you Echo to not think of my as a fool" stated seireitou

Two Kings Left
Echo and Ryun were back at Echo's pallace, he was now in command of the CHIMERA Faction. "I suppose Seireitou wasn't quite as righteous as we beleived. Oh well, he was too pathetic too make a difference." The Guardians are threw, so it's just me "Ryun, I'm sorry about Gaara, but I had no choice, I hope you can get him back in action." Echo smiled. "Alright Ryun, it's time to be crowned as kings of the world."

The Ceremony
With Seireitou and Shishimaru dead, the entire world awaited Echo Uchiha. "My people, I come to you as a fellow citizen, not a dictator. Through the years our new empire will create nwe opportunities, as well as diminish the hardships of all who beleive in man uniting. So, to you beleivers, I present the new world order. The new, Twilight Empire!" Said Echo as everyone's voice thundered.

Mizu was standing near a doorway and said, "Is that it?" Ryun and Echo looked over. "You're just going to give up? I thought that the Yonkou were made of sterner stuff. But I guess not."

"What do you mean? He is dead, Right now he's in his own hell, beleiving he won the war." Although Echo looked down, slightly depressed. "Although I am a bit ashamed at his attempt, I suspected he would fight me with honor." He looked up. "But he will always be remembered for the honorable things he did do."

Mizu looked over and chuckled, "I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Sei..."

Meanwhile...
The world and Echo believed that seireitou was dead, however, Seireitou expected all of this to happen, he prepared for his final strike.... Echo didnt realize.... that every member of CHIMERA was under seireitou's control. Seireitou was ontop of a mountain as he threw the scroll and yelled, "Summoning Jutsu: Damocles!" he said as a golden fortress appeared.

Absolute Emperor
Seireitou sat on the throne as he soon spoke, as every person in the world could hear him, "Attention World, i am Seireitou Hyuga" he stated as everyone in the planet heard him, even Echo, who was slightly outraged, for even he didnt expect this to happen.

As Echo heard him, every CHIMERA member turned on Echo and attacked, seireitou spoke. "CHIMERA has fallen, Guardians have fallen, Taisinkoha has fallen, Echo is too weak to approach me, the nations have all surrendered, The world is mine!" stated Seireitou as Echo as being arrested by CHIMERA due to seireitou's orders

"As of now, Damocles has over 1000 nuclear warheads statione in every continent roun the world, make one false move, say goodbye to this planet" he said as Echo sneered and the people, out of fear, began to cheer Seireitou's name

The Fall of Echo and the New Emperor
James was dismayed that he wasn't in the world at the moment. With the sudden control that was given Seireitou, he was very dismayed indeed. I shouldn't have left... I gave the world away to the man with the doom machine, thought James as he watched the events unfold in front of his eyes. Maybe I should go back... I can do it myself, no one else has to be in it... he looked at the giant gate that the organization had traveled through. Alright, time to go set things straight. James got up and went to go get supplies.

Ryun helped Echo escape from imprisonment then teleported the two of them to the Guardians location, "Hey James, we've never officially met. Im Ryun Uchiha and I would like to assist you in your plot to destroy Seireitou.

Suddenly, the 3 man group were surrounded by CHIMERA agents that Seireitou hid away juts for this occaison, "You three, Emperor Seireitou demands that you three come with us"

Ryun laughed, "Heh, ya right." Tora then appeared and Ryun and Tora fused again, "Well? Im waiting..." said a calm Toryun.

"Emperor Seireitou demanded i give you this picture" he said haning Toryun the picture of Luke Uchiha and Ryun's wife locked up along with Itachi and Seireitou Uchiha with guards having blades to their necks at a location unsenseable. "The Emperor says that if you dont follow me, then we will kill off the entire group"

Toryun considered the possibility, "Hmph...he'll kill us all anyways and you too. My family would much rather die than have me surrender...TO HIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMM!!!!!" the fusion said as his chakra exploded and he ruthlessly killed the CHIMERA members.

However, they all dodged the chakra, "Nice try, but Emperor Seireitou said he will spare you all as long as you three come along with me" he stated

Toryun slammed a Double Advanced Rasengan into the one that spoke, landing ontop of him, "Shut it! Seireitou decides NO ONES FATE! Certainly not mine!!!"

Suddenly, James began to lose control and started attacking Toryun. Seireitou then appeared from the shadows, "I told you that you and echo would lose" he stated, echo being surprised that the man was still alive

Toryun went into Advanced Uchiha, the realm quaking at his fused power, "Quiet you...our battle begins now. ITS OVEEERRRRRRRRRRRR SEIIIREIITOUUUUU!!!!"

"Bring it, Loser"

Battle for the Earth: Emperor Seireitou vs Toryun
The Theme for this Fight

The fusions punches were so fast they were invisible. The speed shocked Seireitou as time and time again he was struck. Toryun unleashed a Chakra Wave and slammed Seireitou into a nearby hill. "I am neither Ryun or Tora...I am Toryun and I am...your end..you monster."

"Looks like i cant hold back... Ichi, Ni, San, Yon, Go, RELEASE!!" seireitou yelled as his power levek become equal, if not greater with the fusion's power level. He began to laugh as he quickly kicked Toryun up high and slammed him into the ground, making a large crater.

"Are you napping? I could've sworn you said something about hitting me." Toryun said from above Seireitou.

"Hehe, and here i thought the great Ryun and Tora would make a decent fusion, maybe even get me into Bankai" he said as Toryun soon found himself already, deep in a crater, "Maybe i was wrong...... HEY! are you napping!!!" he yelled while laughing manically

Seireitou gasped when the fusion appeared back to back with him, "Try to keep up, slowpoke." he said laughing then elbowing Seireitou which sent him flying. "Silly bushwacker, you thought you had a chance against me? Your brain must be malfunctioning."

"Woooooow..... who were you trying to hit?" said seireitou who was floating right above toryun, undamaged. "Besides, your fusion lasts for 30 mi0nutes and 10 minutes have past since you fused. once you defuse, you cant fuse for another hour, think you can beat the clock?" said seireitou in a mocking tone.

Toryun laughed, "Sure thing pal." he said advancing to Advanced Uchiha 2 as his power skyrocketed beyond that of Seireitou's. "Your finished monster."

"And not just by you, Toryun," said James. a large barrier formed around the battle, encompassing the three with a wall of golden writing. "Once again, rune barriers are great," continued James as he unsheathed his sword back-hand and appeared next to Seireitou. His sword began to glow with a certain element of sharpness, and James stabbed Seireitou directly in the heart, piercing his attire completely, but still not going all the way in, only about an inch or two. "Oh, didn't do as well as I had hoped. Well, it is an inexact science," said James as he twisted the blade in Seireitou's chest.

Toryun slammed his fist several times into Seireitou's face pushing him even further into James' blade.

Watching from off to the side Evan stares Seireitou " What a fool Seireitou, this won't solve anything"

Toryun grinned as Seireitou stumbled back. Seireitou was so defiant, "It's time to put you in your place Emperor Seireitou" he said in a mocking tone. Then his expression hardened. "I have 15 minutes remaining, I will now show you the pinnacle of my power and with it, I will bring an end to you and your reign of slaughter and terror."

The fusion began charging his chakra as his blackish-brown hair began to grow to waist length. The amount of power he was unleashing was staggering. He then held out his hand and a zanpakuto materialized already in it's Shikai state. He pointed at Seireitou and whispered, "Bankai" as his blade was engulfed in flames. Finally he held his hand over his face and pulled down as his Bijuu Mask covered his face and his power reached maximum.

Back at the Kage Building in Yamagakure 2, Sanji could sense his brother and his cousin preparing to kill Seireitou, "Go get him guys...

Toryun faced Seireitou, blade in hand, "Like I said, it's over."

Back at the sight of Shishimaru's 'death' four mysterious ninja in black cloaks and straw hats were standing around him, "Sir, we should retreat." said one of them in a deep voice as Shishimaru got up and they all disappeared.

Seireitou began to laugh, "Finally, an opponent that i can fight seriously!" he yelled as he began to power up. "Roku, Shichi, Hachi, Kyuu, Juu, RELEASE!!" he yelled, releasing his final 5 seals, making his power overwhelming the Advanced Uchiha 3 form. Seireitou then muttered, "Zenkai" as his body was covered in a Kyuubi fur with 9 long kyuubi tails with black tips and seireitou wore an armor around his upper body, glowing gold/scarlet/black, and shaped like Rokudou Sennin's outfit. His power had far exceeded Toryun's maximum power. "BRING IT ON, RYUN AND TORA!!!!!" he yelled and laughed

The Ultimate Struggle
The fusion seemed unconcerned for some unknown reason. He held his hand far above his head and began charging a jutsu, "Ryun worked on this technique for years yet we couldn't make it work. However, just before the war broke out we discovered its secret and completed it."

A giant chakra disc appeared above his head, with a Rasengan in the middle, "Welcome...to...OBLIVION!!!!" Toryun screamed tossing the jutsu, "Advanced Rasenshuriken!!!" Seireitou attempted to avoid it but the jutsu followed him no matter how fast he moved and upon impact, it began to expand. Seireitou was completely inglufed in a planet shaking explosion.

In the light, seireitou appeared unfazed, "Apparantly, you underestimate Zenkai" he said as Toryun was blown away without even being touched, Seireitou closed his eyes as he then opened them, revealing the Hollow Seireitou's black/golden signature eyes. "ITS OVER! RYUN!" he yelled he cupped his hands together and a golden ball with red/black lightning formed in his cupped hands and he yelled and let it go as a large wave of energy, about the size of the earth at its initial release, attacked the Fusion with immense power, causing the whole earth's sky to light up. "You had 15 minutes, but since you contain so much power, your limit is now 7 minutes... TICK TOCK... TICK TOCK!!" he said laughing manically.

Toryun looked up indifferent, "That attack may not have killed you, but one more blast like that and your finished. You and I both know that." The fusion pointed its finger at the blast and used a Chakra Wave to push the beam away. Toryun laughed at Seireitou's facial expression, "One more blast...Emperor.." he said throwing two more Rasenshuriken at Seireitou.

Seireitou closed his eyes, "Zenshirai Tensei" said muttered as both attacks were brushed away, "6 Minutes, stop wasting time" he said laughing

Both jutsu were simply clones of the fusion that had transformed, both poofing away. Another clone appeared holding a real Advanced Rasenshuriken and slammed it into Seireitou before he could use Zenshinra Tensei again. The blast engulfed Seireitou once more and Toryun watched as Seireitou's body disintegrated from the blast.

"HAHAHAHA!!" yelled a voice, much to Toryun's surpise as the true Zenkai Seireitou appeared, "You fell for it, the master of illusions, Ryun Uchiha, fell for a simple trick refracting energy and light.... you fail to the expectations i believed you could acheive.... and yes, i believe thats.... TIME UP" he stated with a manical smile as the Fusion glowed.

Indeed Tora and Ryun separated but neither were completely out of energy, both still had half remaining. Ryun was in Tenkai and Advanced Uchiha 3 and Tora was in Shukai and Advanced Uchiha 2. Both were wearing Bijuu Masks. "I know how to end this." Ryun announced. Tora teleported, knowing exactly what Ryun was doing, to the Gokage's Lookout Temple. Ryun faced Seireitou. "Your finished, Hyuga."

Seireitou was still in Zenkai, his Hollow eyes aflare, and all his power was with him, "Really.... prove it, Uchiha"

Ryun laughed, "He arrogance has finally payed off." Ryun floated into the air and he put his hands above his head and called on the chakra of every known being on Earth, the Other World, the Kai worlds, and even the Kitsune Realm. Ryun's Genki Dama was bigger than anyone created before. He then tossed the bomb directly onto Seireitou and thus began the struggle...

Against the Genki Dama...
"...Genki Dama? You really expect to beat me with my own technique?!" he stated as he too charged his final move, Big Bang Kokuhō, its power rivaling the entire universe's stength, "Its tiem to end this, RYUN!" he yelled as he shoit the blast at the Genki Dama incoming, the size of the initial starting point of the Big Bang was the same size as the Genki Dama.

Ryun pushed back harder, "Wrong Seireitou, unlike your jutsu, this one carries the hopes and dreams of every being that has any involvement in this war. Now EVERYONE!!! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME AND YOU WANT THIS MAN PUT TO REST, GIVE ME YOUR CHAKRA!!!!" Ryun yelled as the blast began to get pushed into Seireitou.

"Your wrong Ryun, you dont understand anything of the people's dreams! Thats why you will always be a kid!" he yelled as the Blast began to seep past the bomb due to its compressment and began to push at Ryun with devastating power and force.

The Leaf Village
Naruto and those of Konoha heard Ryun's cry. All were exausted from war and combat and all wanted it to end. Everyone began giving Ryun their chakra including Sasuke...

The Sand Village
Gaara heard Ryun as well and commanded his entire village to comply and they did...

Yamagakure 2
The people of Ryun's own village were chearing for their kage as they willingly gave their power. Sanji and Tora, Itachi and friends all giving their all for the Genki Dama...

Back at the Fight
Ryun's Spirit Bomb increased in size by over 10x, "DIE!!!!!! HYUUUUUUUUGAAAAAAA!!!!" He yelled as his blast completely overwhelmed Seireitou's

"Hmm.... you ignorant child" he muttered as the blast completely was converted into a red chakra, "You let your guard down, while you kept talking with "your people", i was seeping my own energy into "your" bomb, its no long your weapon, ITS MINE!" he declared as the blast combined with Seireitou's Kokuho and completly dominated Ryun's body as an explosion of energy rocked the land....

Seireitou turned to leave, thinking he had won, but to his utter shock he turned;

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" Ryun screamed as every inch of power from the blast was abosorbed into his body, "Heh, I had planned this from the beginning, I'm even stronger then Toryun now. Like I said, DIE HYUGA!" Ryun said cupping his hand and releasing a Super Garōga Bakuha the size of the Genki Dama and Big Bang Kokuho combine.

"....It matters not how much power you have... if you dont understand what people truly want....." he muttered as his blast overcame Ryun's attack completly and this time, ended him. The energy soon diappeared as Ryun's unconcious body was about to be dropped onto the ground with immense force, but seireitou held him up by Ryun's hand and placed him down gently. "Ryun.... i told you..... i cannot lose" he thought as he teleported to Damocles and activated it.

Damocles Activated: Emperor Seireitou's Reign
"Announcing to the entire world!" stated seireitou as Damocles sent his message to every citizen on the planet to hear. "The lands have surrendered to me! Thus, both Damocles and FLEIA are under my control! The Yonkou no longer possess the strength to oppose me. If they still intend to fight, they will learn the true power of Damocles. There's no one left who can stop my domination. Yes, on this day, on this very moment, the world has fallen into my hands." he stated

People around the world, in a state of shocked Panic, meerly listening.

"I now command you. World, OBEY ME!" he yelled as everyone who fought in CHIMERA and many people around the world cheered out of fear, "All Hail Seireitou, All Hail Seireitou, All Hail Seireitou!!!"

Ryuka appeared once again, wearing a black cloak over his clothing. He was unsurprised at the scene. "Just as I thought...." He thought, with disgust. "Another greedy and arrogant Hyuga....what a shame."

The Peace Requiem: The Day A Demon Dies

 * 2 Months Later - The World ruled by one tyrant, Emperor Seireitou

A parade is going by, seireitou being on a royal float as the civilians watch him go by. Prisoners such as Mizu, Tora, Kyashi, Ryun, Echo, Squad 13 but Tsuneide, and many others are all tied up and slated for public execution.

"The 35th emperor of the Feudal Lands and supreme emperor of the entire planet, Seireitou Hyuga has come in sight" said the tv reporter.

"And please look" said the reporter as everyne looked at the prisoners on the sidelines. "The fools who dare oppose his majesty Seireitou are brought to the execution stand" said the reporter

On Seireitou's float, sitting bound in chains on her arms and legs, was Sachi. She had her eyes closed in a grim expression, although she stopped to look at Seireitou every now and then. "Seireitou-kun..." She thought, both angered and hurt.

There was a man in the crowd with familiar green eyes, looking on, "That fool, because, on day I will take back my throne." said the man, emotionless.

James was watching the events unfold from the conference room, along with the other fifteen captains. Have to remember, the bigger they are, the harder they fall, he thought as the parade continued.

"Now that the 2 strongest nations in the world have surrendered to the Feudal Lands, our beloved emperor Seireitou has finally accomplished his task of unifying the world" said the reporter

"What do you mean glory, its plain dictatorship" whispered one bystander

"He just kills all who oppose him" whispered another

"Shh, if someone hears you...." whispered another

On a building far away, was Ryuka, still wearing the blackened cloak. "I guess Sachi didn't take the chance...or did she?" Looking a little closer, he saw a bit of dried blood from each of her eyes.

Tsuneide, Byakko and Rikka were watching from a building

Tsuneide saw her teammates there and attemped to go, Byakko stopped her, "You will just be killed if you go, Tsuneide"

"But if i dont, they'll!" said Tsuneide as they heard shocked surpise outside, they truned to look

"What!" said one of the gaurds as the parade stopped.

In the distance, there was a man, wearing seireitou's cothing and wearing a hollow mask similar to seireitou's.

"This is a dark day indeed..." thought Fukumaden Uchiha as he bowed his head.

Sachi's eyes widened when the float came to a sudden stop. Her mind was filling with apprehension as she turned to face what had stopped it, and the apprehension changed to shock. "What the...."

The masked figure charged in, being attack by hundreds of kunais and shurikens but dodged them all and jumped over the gaurds.

The masked figure jumped on Seireitou's throne float.

"You cretin!" said seireitou pulling out his KyuubiTaishou but it was knocked out of his hands

The masked figure prepared his blade to thrust at Seireitou

Seireitou then, smiled.

"Suzaku, you will kill me as planned" said seireitou
 * "Flashback: Over 1 month ago", Seireitou and Suzaku are in the Other World

"So you are going to do it, no matter what... Father?" asked Suzaku

"Just as planned, all the world's hatred is focused on me, now, all you need to do is erase me to break the chain of hatred" said seireitou

Seireitou hands Suzaku a mask, similar to Seireitou's Hollow mask

"The legend of Seireitou, when he was "good", still lives on in some hearts. With this, the world will be able to sit together and settle things through negotiation and discussion, not military power. It will be able to welcome "tomorrow"." said seireitou

Suzaku takes the mask and looks at it

"So thats..." said Suzaku

"Yeah" said seireitou

".... The Peace Requiem" thought Suzaku in the mask, preparing to stike Seireitou
 * "Back to the Parade Scene"

Back to the Flashback, "In Other World, we learned... that people are wishing for "tomorrow"." thought Suzaku

"Hey Suzaku, dont you think that love is the same as wishes?" asked Seireitou smiling

"Huh?" asked Suzaku

"Something that cant be accomplished on your own, another's help is needed" said seireitou

"A wish...?" said Suzaku

"I shall gamble on the love known as "people's wishes", for the sake of the world's future" said seireitou

Everyone is silent, Tora and Ryun look away, Echo meerly watches with his same expresssion and Hikaru watches with mixed feelings....
 * "Back to the Parade Scene"

Byakko, Rikka, and Tsuneide rush out of the building...

Over to Minkai, "Seireitou, as compensation for torturing others...." said Minkai, accually weaping a very small tear, almost unnoiticable

"Only those who shoot at others are the ones who must prepare to be shot at" thought seireitou

Suzaku slowly charges in with his blade, "Suzaku, you will become a hero. You will become the savior who freed the world from its enemy, Emperor Seireitou" thought seireitou smiling

Suzaku stabs Seireitou right through, as everyone watches this scene....

Death to the Demon Emperor
Sachi almost felt her heart stop, as the masked figure punctured through Seireitou like a ballon. To her, everything else had stopped....the air, the people....even time itself....as she saw the blood drip down from the offending sword. She didn't even glance at the flying KyuubiTaishou as it flipped in the air acrobatically.

"I sense Suzaku-kun's presence..." thought Kokuangyo Hyuga as she looked on, "Could it be..."

Ryuka's eyes showed no emotion, even as he skimmed Seireitou's mind with the Kagirinaigan. He couldn't help but allow a small expression of shock cross his face. "....So....this whole thing...." He thought silently.

"Fa...Father" thought Suzaku weeping while keeping a serious look on his hidden face.

"heh.. this is a punishment for you too, you will continue to wear a mask and become an ally of justice." whispered Seireitou

Seireitou, staggering, took some of his blood and wipped it on Suzaku's mask

"You will no longer be able to exist as Suzaku Hyuga... you will give up your happiness... for the world" whispered Seireitou

"I accept that wish" thought Suzaku

Seireitou's hand fell and Suzaku removed the blade from Seireitou's body.

Seireitou stumbled forward, and fell down, his blood being wiped in a trail as he fell.

Everyone watched in shock

He slips down to where Sachi was as she watches him coming down.

He lands right next to her, almost lifeless

She heard the body drop right beside her, as it clicked in her ears with a cruel thud. She trembled midly, pulling herself on her hands and knees and crawling over towards him. "S-seireitou-kun....?" She asked, fear evident in her voice.

Sachi touched his hand, and gasped, as she was shown all of Seireitou and Suzaku's plans for the Peace Requiem. When the flashbacks were over, she slowly turned to stare into his peaceful face, a saddened expression on her face.

"All this time....you've been aiming for a good purpose....and I never knew...." She thought, taking one of Seireitou's hands and placed it on her face. Her eyes narrowed slightly, wavering even more. "Seireitou-kun....I love you!" She exclaimed hoarsely.

"I love you too..... and ill mi...." Seireitou whispered as his eyes closed, and he passed on, he had now died

Now Sachi's tears began to appear and fall from her eyes, and she knew what Seireitou's next words were going to be. Feeling his pulse completely fade, she dropped his hand, lay both of her arms, along with her head, on his chest, and let out a raw and loud scream, straight from the heart. "SEIREITOU!!!"

The masked figure swung his blade as seireitou's blood fell off of it

Ryun, Tora, Echo and Hikaru all watched, each as shocked as the next, except for Hikaru who knew what had happened.

Tsuneide ran out, "Seireitou, the devil, has died! Release the hostages!" she yelled as the Ashiki, Taisinkoha and the Guardians all ran out of the building.

"Dont tell me thats..." said Ryun

"Thats Seireitou.... the "true" Seireitou" said Hikaru to Ryun as Ryun looked at him confused

"S-seireitou-kun....you did what was for the best of everyone....b-but a future without you...!" She continued to sob freely, swallowed by the cheers of the crowd. "Sei-kun...!"

James appeared on the float, looking over Sachi's shoulder. With a grim expression on his face, he said "Sachi, he's dead. I'm sorry, but it's going to stay that way."

Everyone cheered for the masked figure and Ryun, Echo and Hikaru all looked at Seireitou's dead corpse and Sachi is ontop of seireitou's body, continuing to cry loudly....

Aftermath: The Results of the Requiem
A picture of Seireitou in the old days was shown on the wall

Tsuneide was preparing to leave her house when she saw the picture and stopped for a second

"Hey, Seireitou" thought Tsuneide as she left her room

"The world's gotten alot better since then" she thought to herself

"The power that propelled wars is now being focused on helping starvation and poverty. Most of the hatred and crimes were pushed onto you" thought Tsuneide as she ran to see her teammates...

"Lands are now coming together, as friends, almost too good to believe" says Tsuneide as it shows Hikaru and Tupac shaking hands, declaring peace between their lands.

"There are still problems..... but even so..." sayd Tsuneide as its shows Suzaku and Kokuangyo all picnicing together in a sunny field overlooking a lake.

Sachi lay on the grass, staring up at the sky. She gazed at the clouds. Everyone of them was shaped a different way, but they still reminded her of Seireitou. Shifting a bit, she moved her arm to make it touch the blade of Kusanagi, which was lying right beside her.

"Sei-kun..." She thought. "I hope you've found a better place. After all..." She spotted a cloud that was almost shaped like a sphere, like a soul, and raised her hand towards it. "That's where all good people go, isn't it?"

A small smile crossed her face. "Who knows? Maybe we'll meet again someday..." Her hand closed into a fist. "If...and when...that day comes...I'll be ready." With that, she got up and picked up her sword, walking off.

Byakko was right behind her, "Ready for what?" he asked, smiling

Sachi was a bit surprised, but kept walking, Byakko behind her. "Oh, nothing...just for a better future." She replied, smiling back. "Care to join me?" She asked, offering him to walk with her.

"Sure" he said following her, "Well, who'd think that Sei was accually doing something good" he said, chuckling

Sachi chuckled as well. "No one knew what he was going to do. He didn't tell any of us, because he knew we would try to stop him. He wanted our hatred to pressure him, so that he could destroy it with one final blow." She then frowned. "But....he died....knowing one of his students is still hungry for power..."

"I guess not..... and your talking about Ryuka, right?" asked Byakko

"Yeah." Sachi nodded.

"Well, i wouldnt worry, now that both CHIMERA and Jikokukenin have suffered losses at Sei's hands, plus, both Echo and Shishimaru are no-where to be found..... it wont be long before he comes back" Byakko stated as he smiled

"I just hope a problem like that never comes up again..." Sachi started, but then she stopped walking, as she saw Kyashi walking towards her. She was wearing a brown cloak on her clothes.

"Kyashi? Whats up?" asked Byakko, who knew that she was just released from Seireitou's imprisonment, but probably didnt know what truly happened

"I'm going to try one last time. To stop Ryuka." She replied, as she started to walk past them. "I know where he's headed."

"Really? Then, ill help you!" stated Byakko

Finding Ryuka
"When he had first fought, he told me he had went to Jikokukenin to seek power." Kyashi stated, as she and Byakko traveled deep into the mountains. "He had said he had only one purpose: to completely destroy the Uchiha."

"Well I'll Help find him" Evan appears in, "I've got to set him strait"

Kyashi glanced at Evan, but nodded. "Now that he isn't a member of Jikokukenin anymore, he can freely do so. He's heading straight towards the place where the Uchiha Clan II prospered: Yamagakure 2."

Evan clenches his fist "So he doesn't feel special enough huh?" he looks down "So he's going to kill the rest, to make himself the only one. What a stupid way to get attention"

"Hey, lets hurry!" yelled out Byakko

"I sense him....just up ahead...." Kyashi said quietly, as they ran through the forest. "He's waiting for us."

A Destiny Unsound
Echo opened his eyes abruptly to see himself covered with sweat and outside of a large prison, he was with a large group of people who were being released. He shook his aching head, trying to discern what was going on. People were constantly chanting. "The Demon is dead, the Demon is dead!" ? Echo had no idea what was going on so he dashed up the side of a small mountain, overlooking an empire like area. Totally confused he was somewhat releived through fright when he heard strange voices coming from a cave. "Echo Uchiha, your destiny was not meant to intertwine with the Peace Requiem."

"What do you mean, I killed Seireitou." Said Echo, looking around to see who he was talking to.

"That you did, yet it was not his time to pass on yet, so his life was spared by the higher plain. You were then captured in an ubsconscious state of mind, your mortal mind not being able to process the shift in destinies."

"Who are you?!" Said Echo, now looking frantically around.

"You see, your timeline could not intersect with the present, because you were the only being who was able to kill Seireitou before he could execute the Peace Requiem." The grew angry. "So by the will of the gods, we failed!" Said the voice now angry.

"I said who are you!"

"But you see, in my own timeline I have found something that once, obtained, will forever allow me alter timelines. It is named the Crest of Twilight. And you too, must find it to be the Twilight King and reign forever."

"If you don't tell me who you are!-" Said Echo as he reached the back of the cave to see a tall, evil looking man with the same expression as him. He grinned with malice as Echo noticed the crown on his head, indicating he was of a high position.

"We, are Echo Uchiha." Said the man, beginning to laugh with such evil that Echo fell on his knees...

Yamagakure 2: Uchiha District
Ryun had finally returned home taking along rest from the war. He wondered whatever had become of his student Ryuka during the war. He hadn't seen him once...

"Ryun...." Ryuka's voice said softly from behind him. "It's been a long time."

Ryun stood and faced his student, "Traitor...." Ryun muttered.

Ryuka smirked. "It's nice to see I'm popular around here now..." He said, putting his hands on his hips.

Ryun's blade materialized in his hands, "Tell Seireitou hi when you reach the Other World." Ryun said floating into the air.

Ryuka raised his hand, signaling to stop. "Don't bother. The real Ryuka is waiting just outside the gates. I'm merely a shadow clone." He stated bluntly. "I merely came to tell you what I plan to do...."

Yamagakure 2: Outskirts
Ryuka sat in front of the gates to Yamagakure 2. His sword in its holster was standing beside him, ready to be pulled out and used. He had sensed three familiar figures approaching, possibly following him, and he knew who they were. Currently, he had sent a shadow clone to Ryun, informing him of his intentions as to why he had came.

A small smile crossed his face.

Ryun stood and faced his student, "Traitor...." Ryun muttered.

Ryuka smirked. "It's nice to see I'm popular around here now..." He said, putting his hands on his hips.

Byakko, Kyashi and Evan appeared as Ryuka was about to strike.

"About time." Ryuka mused, getting up from the ground, but still not pulling out his sword.

Ryun put his fingers on his head and teleported the group to a remote mountain wasteland. Ryun held his blade out in front himself, "It's over Ryuka."

As the land began to fade into twilight Echo appeared, his face was no longer his usual apathetic one, but a confused one instead. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but just lowered his head and folded his arms to watch.
