Part Fifteen, The Covenant Attacks; Chakra vs Plasma!

“Ten Covenant drop ships inbound.” Cortana said over the external speakers. “ETA 5 minutes.”
“Alright,” The Chief said. “We need to take them out fast.”
“How much is it going to take to take them out?” Ace asked.
One of the technicians stepped in and said: “A well place grenade will be sufficient.”
“A what?” Semajj asked.
The Chief pulled a small green ball off his belt. “This, they go boom.”
“I already like this guy.” Ace said.

“Lord Mizukage?” Jayme said, gesturing to leave.
Haku nodded and Jayme left the room.
“Alright, you two.” Haku said pointing at the technicians. “Stay here keep me up dated.”
“Yes Sir!” the technicians said as they snapped to attention.
“Samemaru,” Haku continued. “The Chief knows a lot about what’s going on, you and the others will be under his command until further notice, understand?”
“But…”
“No, that was an order not a question.”
“Fine.”
“Chief, do whatever it takes to stop these guys.”
“Right, we’ll need to move fast.”
“On your way then.” Haku said.
“I’ll go too.” Rikka said as she stood from her chair in the corner and grabbed her bow.
“If you must.” Haku said.

“Foxx, a new threat has appeared they call themselves the Covenant.” Jayme reported.
“Great, that’s just what we need.” Foxx replied. “Jace, Jade what have you got?”
“Kimimaro is farther along in his plans than we thought.” Jace started.
“He has already resurrected Sakon and Ukon and they are working on piecing together Jirobo.” Jade finished.
“And we lost Tekigou.” Bay said in a gloomy voice.
“I think we should let Kiri-Gakure worry about the Covenant, we have to find Tekigou.” Foxx said.
“Right.” Jace said.

Eagle Eye transported the Hell Jumpers to the LZ of the Covenant drop ships via Pelican.
This left us to go find where the battle cruiser landed.
We had four Warthogs, I drove, Sabaku manned the LAAG and Kaji rode shotgun.
Ace, Sadge, and Semajj were in another Kumo, Shiro and Searyb were the third, and The Chief and Rikka were in the fourth, in The Chief’s Warthog, we took out the LAAG so we could bring enough supplies so Rikka was in the passenger seat and had her bow ready to fire.

A black armored Elite sat at the controls of the covenant battle cruiser that had just made an emergency landing due to shrapnel stuck in the ships engines.
“Your Excellency,” a Grunt said as he ran up to the Elite. “Engineering says that the engine took too much damage and we can’t take off.”
“What is your name?” The Elite named Ouka’ Damame asked the little simian alien.
The Grunt looked at his superior officer. “I am Gazazra, Excellency.”
“Go tell the crew to load up all the Scarabs and drop ships with as much supplies as possible, then pack your own bags and meet me back here, we are going to find the Spartan who has killed millions of covenant soldiers.”
“We?” Gazazra asked.
“Yes,” ‘Damame replied. “you seem like a great fighter, we are going to take a fleet of Jackles with us to kill the Spartan.”
“But your Excellency, wouldn’t it be better if you sent a different team out after him, if you die there will be chaos, you are the commanding officer to everyone on the ship, you should send a team of Elites after him.”
“Good idea Gazazra, I’m putting you under the command of fifteen black ops Elites, lead them to victory against the human scourge.
“That’s not what I meant.” The Grunt argued.
“It’s an order, now go pack your bags and get ready!” the Elite barked.

The caravan of warthogs turned out of the canyon and was greeted with sixteen ghosts charging their position.
The lead Elite shouted the command to fire and bolts of plasma came racing towards the LRVs.
The gunners opened fire on the small hover crafts, three exploded at once.
Rikka hit one of the Elites square in the neck and his ghost came skidding to a halt.
I jumped out of the warthog and Kaji took my position at the wheel.
I ran over to the downed hover craft exposed of the body and opened fire on another ghost.
When the smoke cleared there were only two ghosts left intact, mine and another one that was abandoned by its driver who was trembling on the ground.

Gazazra who had jumped out of his ghost and curled up on the floor lay there trembling.
‘It’s all Ouka’ Damame’s fault.’ He thought as a human girl walked up to him.

“What is this?” Sadge asked as she turned the monkey like creature over.
“That is a covenant grunt, they aren’t too smart.” Cortana said.
Then the grunt got up drew his plasma rifle and fired.
The black clad Elite fell backwards as the plasma bolt went through him.
“He doesn’t’ seem to like the other covenant very much.” Chief said as he looked at the methane breathing monkey.
So we put handcuffs on him, put him in the passenger seat of Kaji’s warthog and we were on our way to the covenant battle cruiser.
“Chief, we took care of those Covenant flunkies with no problem, you are clear, we got your back.”
“Roger that, meet at our position ASAP.” Cortana responded to the transmission.
“Alright,” the chief said over the COM link. “Let’s move!”
I floored the ghost and pulled ahead of the four wheeled vehicles.
“Ace, get ready to pull that trigger.” I said as I came to the ridge where a giant bulbous
machine sat motionless.
Then as if they were teleported there five black clad Elites materialized in front of me.
One jumped on the front of the Ghost and kicked me out and spun around facing me and the oncoming LRV’s.
Another let out a battle cry and ran at me with a glowing sword, followed by the others.
The first swing caught my backpack strap and it fell to the floor. I threw three shuriken the where right on target but got stuck in the thick armor.
Rikka jumped from her Warthog and took out a scroll, place her palm on one of the three inscriptions and a dragon flew from the sky and took out three of the elites.
I jumped over the first attacking elite and got caught in the leg with the plasma sword.
I fell to the ground rolled to dodge another attack, then I attempted to stand, I was lucky I couldn’t the elite in the ghost opened fire and it went right past my shoulder as I fell from the failed attempt to stand. The sword wielding alien was cut in half and fell to the ground in a splash of blue blood.
Rikka touched another inscription on the scroll and a white tiger came from the ground and bit the head off the ghost’s pilot.
Then the four LRV’s pulled up.
“Good work, let’s keep moving.” The chief said.

“Samemaru,” Haku said over the COM link.
“Yes sir lord Mizukage?” I answered.
“The Hokage just informed me that two of the covenant ships have been taken down in his region and the Kazekage reported the same.”
“Scanners confirm this is the last Covenant ship in one piece.” Cortana said.
“Good, take it down fast.” Haku said as he snapped the channel off.
“Alright, let’s go.” Sabaku said as I hopped in the driver seat of the Ghost.
I race down the canyon followed by four Warthogs and a Dragon.

“Chief, we got the Redeemer back online.” One of the UNSC tech’s said.
“Alright, we’ll leave as soon and we banish the Covenant from this planet.” Cortana replied. Then the Chief floored the Warthog and we sped towards the Battle Cruiser.

“Foxx!” Jayme shouted as she ran into the room.
“What?” Foxx asked.
“Jirobo and Kidomaru are alive now they are in the process of resurrecting Tayuya.”
“This is bad, where are Jade and Jace?” Foxx asked.
“I don’t know.” Jayme responded.
“They are tracking my master.” Douji said as he walked through the door.
“What the hell?” Jayme shouted as Shuuha-Same grabbed her hands and tied them together.
“You’d better leave.” Foxx said.
“Or what?” Hajin asked.
“Bay, would you like to take care of them?” Foxx asked.
“Sure thing.” Bay said as she stepped forward did two hand signs and water reached from her palm grabbed Hajin and started to strangle him.
“Not so fast.” Shuuha-Same shouted as she broke the water with a wave of chakra.
“Interesting.” Bay said as she sent a spear of water towards Shuuha.
“No problem.” Shuuha said as she sent the spear back at Bay.
“Foxx, you mind taking the rest of ‘em?” Bay asked as she started another set of hand signs.
Foxx stepped forward, through a kunai, cut Jayme’s ropes and attacked Hajin and Douji with her vines.
Jayme stood up and encased Hade-Sakebi in shadows.
The fight was over in less than a minute and the four enemy ninja ran out of their base with blinding speed.

“Alright Kaji, Sabaku, The Chief and I will go in place the bombs and get out.” I said.
“Sounds easy, what do we do?” Ace asked.
“You just have to keep this door safe, I suggest you move inside the ship to keep a perimeter.” Cortana responded.
“Cool, let’s go.” Kaji said as he walked to the door, keyed the panel and the door slid open. Five black clad elites stood behind a legion of grunts and jackals, the first grunt opened fire, Kaji dodged it then the rest of the patrol squad opened fire.
“Sand Shield!” Sabaku shouted as the ground in front of Kaji rose and blocked the fire.
“There goes the element of surprise.” The Chief said as he fed a clip into his rifle.
A grunt on the other side of the sand wall over charged his weapon and fired, the giant green plasma bolt melted through the sand and a glassy hole was left where the plasma entered the sand.
The Chief ran to the hole, stuck his rifle in the hole and pulled the trigger, soon all the grunts where on the floor lying in blue blood.
The wall dropped, the jackals were there but the elites weren’t.
The air behind Sabaku shimmered, I threw three shuriken into the shimmering air, there was a cry of pain as one of the elites materialized out of thin air, and fell to the floor.
Fourteen elites charged out of nowhere and opened fire.
Plasma splashed across the sides of the Warthog.
The Chief raised his rifle and pulled the trigger, the first two elites went down from covering fire from the LAAG’s the other twelve went down with a combination of fire, bullets and an explosion from a grenade.
The jackals turned to run but I took them out so there were no more of the aliens.

“They know where we are, we need to move.” Foxx said as Bay and Jayme walked into the hallway where the fight was earlier.
“Agreed, we should get out as soon as we can.” Bay replied.
“What did we miss?” Jace said as he and Jade walked through the door.
“Well, we were attacked by the forces of evil themselves.” Jayme said.
“Really?” Jade asked in surprise.
“No, that only happens once every hundred years and we did that last week.” Jace answered.
“Oh yeah.” Jade said embarrassed. “So then what happened?”
“Denkouiki’s toadies attacked, we had no problem driving them away, but we need to get out of here before they come back with more.” Foxx said.
“Alright, let’s go.” Jace said.

“This is Sabaku to Samemaru, my bomb is planted, and I’m moving out side.”
“Alright, I’ll be there as soon as I’m set.” I replied over the COM link.
“Hey, Samemaru you’d better step it up, things are getting a little hot out here.” Ace said over the COM link.
“Got it.” I replied, and ran faster towards my destination.
“Kaji, how’s it going on your end?” I asked.
“Not too good, I got three elites on my tail and I can’t get rid of them.” Kaji shouted.
Sorry to cut in but, I got your back.” The Chief said as automatic fire rang over the COM.

‘Alright, should be just around this corner.’ I thought to myself.
‘Samemaru, there is something with a large amount of chakra coming this way.’ Sarudai shouted.
‘Got it.’ I replied.

“Cortana, I got trouble I need another route to the engine room.” I said over the COM.
“Alright,” Cortana replied. “take a left, there should be a service elevator at the end of the hall.”
“Got it, I’ll hurry.” I answered.
“Chief we need to hurry, there are Covenant drop ships on their way, ETA Three Minutes, and if they get here there is no way to get out of this ship.”
“Give me a clock.” The Chief said.
ETA: 00:04:45
“Let’s move.”
I got to the service elevator, and got in, then a timer appeared on the eye glass provided by the UNSC Techies.
ETA: 00:04:30
“Oh boy.” I said under my breath.
“Samemaru, this is Kaji, I’m outside the ship, you might want to hurry.”
“Nah, I have all the time in the world.” I replied.
I ran down the hall way, and found the engine room.
ETA: 00:04:05
There was a group of Jackals waiting for me but sadly not enough of them.
I kicked the first ones skull in, grabbed his arm, swung him around and took out the others.
ETA: 00:04:02
I planted the bomb and made my way back to the elevator.
The elevator shut down half way up the shaft.
ETA: 00:03:57
I jumped onto the wall and used my chakra to stay there and started climbing.
“This is The Master Chief, I planted the explosive and I’m on my way out, you need help Samemaru?”
“Nope, I got it.” I replied as I pried the elevator doors apart.
ETA: 00:03:42
I ran down the hall and took a right turn, that was a big mistake.
I kept running, but the exit was nowhere to be found.
Cortana’s words echoed in my mind: “…take a left and there should be a service elevator…”
“Damn it.” I shouted at I glance at my mission clock.
ETA: 00:00:57

“Where is he?” Sadge said as the numbers on the mission clock rapidly fell.
ETA: 00:00:32
“We should get out of here before this thing goes.” Cortana shouted over the MJORLIN external speakers.
The warthogs sped away from the battle ship.
ETA: 00:00:05
Sadge looked back at the covenant ship.
ETA: 00:00:02
She let out a sigh of grief.
ETA: 00:00:00
The fifteen covenant drop ships landed next to the battle cruiser.
All four mini-nukes went off; the ship blew up taking every covenant soul with it.
The debris started to fall, Sadge looked to the sky, out of the smoke flew a banshee.
Then there was static over the COM.

“Hey, nice timing, any sooner and I’d be like all those aliens down there.” I said over the COM as I hit the gas and the Banshee jerked forward.
“You could have told us you were still alive!” Sadge shouted over the COM.
“I thought me being alive would be good enough, plus with all those grunts in there if I hadn’t have turned off my link they would have heard me.”

When we got back to Kiri-Gakure Eagle-Eye and the UNSC hell-jumpers were waiting for us.
“So how’d it go?” one of the hell-jumpers asked.
“Never mind, let’s just get out of here.” The Chief said.
We escorted the marines back to their ship.
“Well it was nice meeting you Chief.” I said as we walked onto the bridge of the Redeemer.
“Hey what’s this?” Ace asked as he looked at a machine that looked similar to the ones in the cryo-bay.
“That is an interdimensional transporter,” The lead Tech. said. “If we could get it running, we’d be able to travel to different dimensions…. Hey don’t touch it!” He shouted as Ace toyed with some of the wires.
The machine jumped, and a portal opened in the middle of the tube.
“Cool.” Ace said.
“Sorry about that,” I said. “My friend is nosey.” I said as I walked over to Ace and pulled him away from the machine.
“Hey, watch it.” Ace said as he pulled away.
The force from his pull made me stumble forward, he grabbed my arm but it was too late, we both got pulled into the swirling vortex, then the machine broke down.

"The Juu-Hisan have lost five shinobi, our numbers have been cut in half by Shinobi from the Shiki-Sato, and this ninja will pay the price for one of our comrade's death." Shidousha said.
The four shinobi, standing in a row a few feet from the stage where Kusaru was chained up with his head on a chopping block, cheered.
"You sure he knows what he's doing?" Sadge asked.
"Positive." Semajj responded.
"Kira-Ona, will you do the pleasure of taking this guy's head?" Shidousha asked handing the Axe to the shinobi on the left of the line.
The Axe flew up into the air.
Sadge shut her eyes tight.
The axe hit the wood but not Kusaru.
"What?" Shidousha yelled.
"No one can kill the almighty Kusaru!" he said as him and seven of his clones jumped down from the ceiling.
"What kind of Jutsu is this?" one of the Juu-Hisan asked.
The eight Kusarus attacked.
Then Sabaku ran out from the smoke and attacked as well.
Kaji ran around the corner and cut Sadge’s and Semajj’s ropes.
“Where are we?” Ace asked.
“This is when I died.” I said as I watched the battle rage on.

“Can you fix it?” Sadge asked as the lead tech looked at the machine.
“Yes, but it’ll take a while.” He responded.
So they waited.
The battle went on for about a half an hour.
"Give up Shidousha." Kusaru said.
"You think I have lost?" Shidousha said. "The battle has just begun!"
"You are going to die today ninja!" Shidousha said as he teleported behind Kusaru.
“No!” Sadge shouted as she ran towards them but she was too late.
I ran from our cover and kicked Shidousha to the floor.
He looked up, “Two of you, a clone?”
Ace walked from our hiding spot.
“Not exactly.” He said.
Kusaru and the other Ace looked at us in amazement.
I walked over to Kusaru looked at him.
“Was I really this short?” I asked Ace, he nodded his head. “Wow, I grew a lot in two years, although I was dead for about half of one of them.
“W…who are you?” Kusaru asked.
“Future you, well I guess not, see your supposed to die here, but I just saved you, so you’ll never find out that your related to Kiba, or that Sabaku resurrected Haku to get training, on the other hand, Tsarr won’t die because Denkouiki won’t escape, but never mind that I’m just babbling.” I reached out. “Hi, I’m Samemaru.”
Kusaru shook my hand and Ace came up to me.
“We should get out of here.” He said as he kicked my shoe.

“Got it!” the tech. said as the machine roared to life.

The portal that brought us to the world we were in opened up and dragged me Ace and Kusaru through it.

The three of us fell though the portal. I got up and pulled Kusaru up from the floor.
Sadge looked like she’d seen a ghost.
“Y... your Kusaru aren’t you?” she asked him.
“Yeah why?” he replied.
“Sorry to interrupt your homecoming, but we’re late for ours.” One of the hell-jumpers said.
“Right.” Sadge said as she walked off the bridge of the ship followed by Sabaku, Kaji, Ace, Kusaru and I.

“Well, well, well, Kusaru huh?” Haku said. “We’ll have to get you registered and stuff but as soon as we do you’ll be accompanying Samemaru’s group.
“Alright.” Kusaru said.
After we got him registered as an official Kiri-Gakure Shinobi, we went to train.
“You have a lot more chakra than I do, since I lost Denkouiki.”
“We’ll I’ve still got energy left.” Kusaru said.
“Fine, go run around the village, one lap.” I said.
“Alright, then you’ll teach me how to turn to water?”
“Whatever.” I said as I collapsed onto the grass and he took off running.

“Haku, we need permission to gather an army, the sound five have been resurrected and they are making an alliance with Tekigou.” Foxx said as she talked in front of the Mizukage, Kazekage and the Hokage.
“We’ll build an army; you will supply us with updates every time Tekigou makes a move.” Naruto said.
“You don’t understand,” Foxx said. “This’ll be bigger than Denkouiki and Anti-Various put together.”
“I’m sending Shikamaru back to your base with you to take a look at what we’re up against; he’ll make a good decision.”

“Samemaru, wake up!” Kusaru shouted.
“Huh, wha?” I said as I rolled over to see Ace and Kusaru standing in front of me.
“Haku wants us.” Ace said.

“There is a possibility of war with the country of shadows; you need to be ready for an attack at all times.” Haku told us.
 “Whatever they throw at us we’ll give it back ten times greater.” I said to make sure my team didn’t worry.

‘This isn’t good.’ Sarudai said.
‘I know.’ I replied. ‘But whatever they throw at us we have to take, we can’t let this world fall apart.’

‘I agree.’ Sarudai replied.
