The MISFITS

X stands in front of the secret entrance, water gushes out of the wall from a pipe. X turns to Gio, who now looks at the pipe with a straight face "this is the hole my father build as secret entrance". X turns to look at the hole then back to Gio, he then lightly chop Gio's head "oi, isn't this just the sewage pipe" he asked with a monotone voice, Gio turns away.

The next second Gio's cheeks are red and he is holding in tears, X is standing up and rethinking his life choices "is this really what your dad said is the secret entrance" X said in frustration. Gio only nods, X looks at the pipe and sighs "screw your Dad, that bastard" X jumps into the river and makes his way to the pipe "you stay out here or you can go back to the village" he shouted out to Gio, Gio sits and watches X get near the pipe.

X approach the entrances of the pipe and is hit by the stench immediately "Fuck, To hell with it" he enters the pipe and after a moment his silhouette disappears into the darkness. Gio still sits near the river and enjoys the night silent.

X emerge from a hole in the ground and breathe in the air, Suna was already waiting near the hole "you knew didn't you" X asked as he stood drench in sewage water, "i mean, it was pretty obvious from where it was" Suna shrugs and smirks. X glares at Suna "I'll get you back for that, kid" he said, Suna chuckles. "Alright now that we're here, you go find your girlfriends and I'll go find a way to cause a large distraction and get new clothes" X said looking at the castle, Suna blushes "please stop making those jokes" he said as he runs off.

X takes off his white tank top from the prison and throws it as a tree "god, it stinks" he then starts walking towards an entrance. Suna swifts around guard in his sand form, he searchs for Kuro first by following the location of his missing finger, "down?" He looks to the ground as he senses his finger below.

He enters the castle, returning to his normal form as he breaths heavily "why is it tiring to keep that form up? I can't breathe" He asked himself, he hides around corners while avoiding patrolling guard, only changing to his sand form in some moments. Suna noticed a guard coming up from a stairway "please be that one, this castle is too big" he whispers to himself, he goes down the steps while putting on his ninja mask and enters the holdong cells.

Kuro sits on the cell bed in silent as she looks down, a guard approaches the cell bars and chuckles while the other guards sat on a table in the center of the holding cells. "You know, this is what you get for trying to be a hero" the guard mocks her from the bars, "hey, make this quick we gotta go to the assembly" another guard spoke up "you're lucky that you're a pretty girl, if not we might have just killed you" the guard said menacingly. "Glad you didn't" Suna appears from behind the guard and sliced his head off, "if not your death would have been more painful" suna said as he wips the blood of his katana.

The other guard stood from their chair in shocked and ready their spear, one of them charging at Suna "you're supposed to be dead" the guard screamed, his spear passes through Suna and his eyes go wide "g-ghost" he muttered. Suna takes the guard moment of shock to slice into him with his Katana, the other guard fall onto the ground in fear. As the guard body falls dead, the other guard moved back and started running for the stair, Suna turns to sand and appears again in front of the stairs, the guard stops in his tracks and suna swifts forward holding his katana towards the guard's neck "keys" he said.

The guard pointed at the pillar near the table, Suna then lowers his katana and nods his head to tell the giard to leave. The guard smile and walk away, but after a few steps his body is cut in half, Suna runs to take the keys and approaches Kuro's cell, opens his mask and smiles "I got here in time" he opens the cell.

Kuro walks out and she slaps him, Suna face goes to the side from the slap and he then realized "oh yea, it was my fault" but then Kuro hugged him "That was for making me worried that you died, and this was for coming to save me, I'm happy you came" she said as she buried her face on his chest. Suna looks down and smiled "of cour-" before he could finish, Kuro hugs tighter and jumps up and down with a huge smile "you were so cool, you came in and said glad you didn't and the whooos his head off then and" kuro starts rambling of the scene she just witnessed in total excitement, Suna blushes and gets embarrassed by his actions "okay okay, i get it" kuro giggles seeing him blush.

More guards come down the stairs and are shocked by the bodies of their fallen comrades, they ready their spears and then a captain walks in front and readies his sword "you're not getting out alive" he said. Suna and Kuro looks at each other, kuro nods with a smile which gives Suna reassurance, they both ready themselves, Suna with his katana and kuro with her two claws.

The captain signals towards them and 6 guards rush towards Suna and Kuro, Suna moves forwards first and takes on 3, he lifts his blade to block the first spear and change to sand to get behind the 3. As the same time Kuro leaps above the 3 and land in the middle of the guards looking at the other 3, suna reappears behind her and stares at the first 3 guard. The guard turn towards them, Kuro with absolutely speed goes low and hits the guards on her side, and Suna blocks a spear before slicing into one guard.

Kuro dodges some spears and jumps into the air landing on a spear, the guard looks surprised before getting kick on the face. She then leaps to another guard slicing him with her claws, before jumping to another slicing them too. Suna blocks another spear and change to sand, reappearing above and slicing down onto the guard. A guard goes to strike him but is hit by Kuro who throws a guard on to him, suna then finishes the job and stabs him in the neck.

The captain stood and watches this all happen, suna and kuro turns towards him with murderous intent, the captain smiles and twist the tip of his sword handle which makes the sword smoke with a green haze, he then drop two round balls that burst and let out a green gas. He puts on a mask and laughs. Suna instantly change to sand but kuro breaths in the gas and starts to cough, "once you breathe in, the venom instantly takes effect. Your body slowly shuts down" the captain said as he walked towards kuro, Suna in sand form couldn't breathe but he couldn't attack as well, the captain stands in front of kuro who has fallen to the ground coughing.

He raises his sword but before swing down he turns around to block suna's attack, "holding your breath will only take you so far" he said laughing and punches suna in the stomach, which makes suna cough out but he still manages to hold his breath. "How long can you last?" The guard relentlessly attack suna who manage to block all the sword attacks barely, suna gets down onto one knee as he blocks an attack.

Suna glares up to the guard as the guard looks down on him laughing, suna face starts to go pale before his eyes slowly close. The guard smiles at this, suna falls down and loosen his grip but before hitting the floor, he open his eyes again and slices the guards leg, the guard screams but is then cut from below by Suna.

Suna walks over to kuro, still holding his breath and picks up kuro to get her out of the area. As he walks over the captain's body he sees a tiny flask and takes it, up stairs he finally takes a breath and gives Kuro a drink from the tiny flash "please be the antidote" he says, kuro swallows and calms down.

Suna sighs in relieve, "how did you hold your breath for so long?" Kuro said softly with her shallow breath, suna smiles "in sand form, i can't breathe so i always needed to hold my breath" kuro looks up towards suna "that's cool" she said with a weak smile. Suna helps her get up "you alright?" Kuro nods as she stood up, "alright, let's go find hoseki" suna said in which Kuro hold his hand "wait, can we go find my stuff first. I need my daggers" suna looks back at her and nods "good idea".

X wonders around the castle shirtless, he walks without a care as he looks around to see no guards at all on the halls, wondering where they went. He then sees a giant iron double door with no guards in front, he shrugs and enters to find a dark lit room with nothing but a shrine in the end of the room with a tablet on top of it, behind the shrine is a illustration of a battle with countless soldiers fighting a giant serpent like dragon in the middle of the illustration, X looks in boredom.

He gets out the room and walks off again, going up the stairs and still does not see any guards around "do i still need to cause a distraction, there's no one here" he said to himself. He enters another room and smiles, it was the emperor's room and it was empty, he walks around seeing all the emperor's stuff, flopping himself down onto the bed and then he turns towards the wardrobe and grins. He jumps up and makes his way to the wardrobe, looking at the countless clothes, he picks a red and black yukata with gold outlines, he pose a bit in front of the mirror.

Two guard enter the room "i feel like a maid getting his stuff" one of them said "i feel you" another one said. They walk towards the bed, in that moment X and the two guard turn to each other and stare. "Who are you?" Both of then point their spears, "I'm here to meet the emperor, I have a message for him" X said without hesitation, "then why are you in his wardrobe?" The other one spoke up.

X looks at the clothes and turn back to them "I'm also his tailor" he said with a smile, the two guards look at each other and lower their spears "that makes sense, alright we will bring you to him" they salute to X and X is dumb founded but goes with it.

At the armory, three guard sit in front of a giant bag, "what the hell is this bag filled with?" A guard asked the other, "i don't know man, some merchant had this large bag and i thought it was filled with gold or something so i took it" the other answered. "Where did he even find it?" A guard asked "said he found it near those ishi bastards base" the same guard answered. "What is it, a bunch of relics?" He looked as he open the bag, "weapons?" He said again as he looked behind to find both his friends unconscious.

He is then hit on the head and falls down. Suna and kuro stood there looking down at the guards, "they really do suck at their jobs" Suna said as he dust of his hands, Kuro nods in return before she proceeds to find her bag in the confiscated area. Kuro finds her bag and checks for a daggers which are still in the bag and smiles, Suna waits as he looks out the door for any other gusrds, "got everything?" He asked. "Yea" kuro grin as she walks towards him but then stops as she sees the big bag the guards were talking about, she peeks inside and smiles "ooo, some fun toys" her eyes sparkle.

X stands in the middle of a throne room surrounded by all of the guards in the castle, the emperor sits infront of him on his throne looking down at him. X looks around "so that's where they all went" he said to himself then turns to look at the emperor, "you look good for an older brother of that old man" he said as he sees in front of him a man with black short hair with a light beard and mustache, he sits with his red and gold sokutai.

"I see you've gone through my collection" he said in a deep and commanding voice. "My lord, we have brought you your messenger and tailor" the guard next to X announces to the room. "I do have a messenger and tailor, but they are two different people" lord juhebi spoke, "but i will hear your messege first before disposing you" the lord raises his hand. "How kind" X grins "do you know the state of you world at this moment?" X asked in which the juhebi replied "what do you mean?"

X sighs as he starts to explain everything again, "i am not of this land, your world is on mine, know anything about that" X looks at Juhebi in which juhebi smiles back "i see, a drunkard" he drops his hand and all the guard raise their spear, X grins "yea, though so" he laughs as a single guard rushes at him. X raises his hand towards the man approching him, the man stops and brace himself but then turns to look when nothing happened, X punches him to the wall with a grin on his face, the guard leaves a dent on the wall of stone bricks.

The other guards are surprised and all of them start charging onto X, X snaps his finger and chains from thin air wrap around the front row of the guards stopping them at their track and suffocating them, he grins and run towards juhebi, guards of the second row make it through and charge at him, X sees this and dogde the first guard, punches the second coming his way and leaps on the air before landing on a guards face, points his hand down with a chuckle as the guard around him are caught by chains and pulled down to the ground.

The third and final row comes towards him, X raises his hand towards one of them and chains him on his body, X then swings his around hitting all the other guards before letting him go, he then charges at the guards head first and punches a bunch while dodging spears, X takes a guy by the neck and grin at him, a guy pierces him from the back and X takes it without flinching, he throws the guard towards the others and chains the last guard squishing him with metal chains, the blood gush everywhere.

X turns towards juhebi with a giant grin but notices him wearing a mask, he then looks around to see the captains dropping the green balls onto the floor releasing the gas, X takes a breath in "hmm, poison?" He said with a smile.

The captains make their way towards him and he dodges the first swing as he takes the guard by the shoulder, he snaps his other finger and all the other captains are restrain by chains on the neck and brought up tot he ceiling and hanged, "antitode" he said to the one on his hand in which the guy guves him willingly, X takes a drink "alright, don't throw up" the guard looks confuse before being thrown up breaking he ceiling to the open air, as he falls he is caught by chains and swing around, the gas is caught and ventilated out.

X then let the captain fall to the floor, he then walks towards juhebi while taking off his mask. Juhebi glares towards him, X looks back with a grin, "So, this wasn't the pla-" before X could finish juhebi jump in "please don't kill me, i was wrong for hurting all those people but i had to take over the empire for the sake of all it's people" he said with his hand raise blocking X, X looks surprised and then laughs "alright this is not what i expected, what do you mean?" X took a chair and sat in front of him.

Juhebi explained "There is a demonic beast imprisoned under this castle, my ancestors were the one that put it there and they lost countless soldiers to it. To keep it away, a sacrifice must be given to it, and that sacrifice must be a young woman whose blood are doused on a tablet. So i had no choice, and it was to protect the people." He said trying to justify his actions. X looks at him "i see, do you mean this tablet" X holds up a tablet "yea that one" Juhebi looks at it but then looks at it again and his face falls into fear and panic "wait, did you take that from a shrine" X looks at the tablet his holding "yea i did" X grins "why?" He said.

Suna and kuro made their way around the castle, "where are all the guards?" Suna asked, "sleep?" Kuro said looking confused as well. "I guess it is the dead of nigth" suna said. They made it in front of a door "last room to check" suna opens the door to a dark bedroom, he sees a woman sleeping on it and his face lights up "it is her?" Kuro asked, Suna nods as he enter the room while kuro follows behind.

Suna makes his way to the bed while Kuro waits near the door, he finds hoseki sleeping and shakes her awake, hoseki wakes up "hmm? Whose there?" She said half asleep, "it's me Suna, let's get out of here" he pull her arm which makes her get out of the bed, "wait Suna" she said, Suna doesn't hear and hoseki pull her arm away "i said wait" she said irritated.

Suna turns around and looks at her confused "What's wrong?" He asked her, hoseki glares back at him "who do you think you are to pull me out of my bed? What the hell do you think you're trying to do?" She screamed at him.

"I'm here to bring you back to the ishi clan" suna said as she step forward to take her hand again, hoseki stand back and slap his hand away "What makes you think i want to go back to that dreaded place" she said without hesitation, suna looks surprised "but that's your home" he said. Hoseki scoffs at his words "that's funny, you think i consider that wasteland my home" she chuckles at him.

"We all care about you back home, your dad is worried" suna fight back, hoseki eyes glares into him "I never cared about any of you, especially my dad. He let me get captured and have the audacity to be worried, i despise all of you, here i am treated as a queen and i live my life with satisfaction, i get everything i want here. You disgust me, for you to think you are worth going back to. You've always been an annoying piece of-" she stops talking as her face goes to the left, Kuro stands in front of her in silent as she has just slap her. Hoseki looks in surprised but before she could retaliate, kuro takes Suna hand and pulls him out of the room "let's go" she said not waiting for suna to answer.

Out in the hall, suna finally stops walking after a distance from hoseki's room, kuro turns around to look at him "it's no use caring for someone like her" kuro said with an annoyed tone, Suna looks down in his own thoughts as tears start to arise. Kuro seeing this takes both his hands, "hey, forget whatever she said about you. To me, you are the most awesome, coolest and kind person I've ever met in the world" her words carry truth and sincerity.

Suna looks up towards her, he sees her soft smile, kuro wipes the water on his cheek "let's go find X, i have a feeling his doing trouble" suna hearing this smiles "yea" he said. Suddenly the building starts to shake as they both looks at each other, the rumbling gets harder and closer until suddenly the building is torn through the middle.

Suna open his eyes to see a new wall appears which seems to be made of snack scales, "what did you do X?" He said while kuro looks up towards the same wall which seems to move up and up again.

Nanashi in the middles of talking with a captain of the Ishi clan as they are located halfway towards the castle, she turns after hearing a giant explosion as her eyes turn to horror as she see where uses to only stand a castle in the distance has now emerge a giant serpent like dragon that has risen taller then the castle itself, "Gio" she said in worry.

The giant snake looks down towards the castle, it eyes glaring on being, X stands on the roof of the castle with juhebi on his hand, he looks up towards the snake and grins "i said I'll cause a distraction".
