The MISFITS

"We have to get out of here" Kuro shouted while holding onto suna's hand, she pulled him down the hallway but suna stopped and looked back towards hoseki's room "we can't leave her" he said, kuro turns to look at suna, her eyes rest on him for a while "I'll come with" she said. Suna hearing this shakes his head "no, it's safer if you get out of the building. I'll be quick" he said while taking off already, kuro stood there in silents before noding "okay" her voice soft, she then turn around and ran the other direction. Suna turns to sand to travel the distance, dodging fallen rubble from the ceiling, he makes it in front of the room and kicks the door open.

Hoseki turns around from where she stood scared and shocked "you, what are you doing here again. Didn't i tell you I'm not coming with you" she said with the same tone as before, Suna ignores her words and step forward before taking her hand pulling her to the door, "unhand me" she said with anger.

Suna turns around to face her "i don't care about bringing you back anymore, you could love your life here with that bastard juhebi but I'm not letting you die right now, so shut up and follow me" he said with command, hoseki becomes silent, seeing this Suna pulls her towards the door and the run heading out of the building.

Kuro makes it out of the building in no time with her incredible speed and reflexes, she gets to the courtyard near the main gate. The main gate is wide open with made and servants running out towards the village away from the castle which has a giant snake in the middle of it, Kuro looks up to see the snake and her eyes go wide "whoa" she said in awe of the monster in front of her.

Hebi guards stand around near her as they too look at the giant snake, "Where's lord Juhebi" one said as the others look around too, then one pointed towards the roof "over there" he screamed. All the guards look up to see their lord in the hands of a man, kuro recognize the man instantly as X. Her eyes sparkles at the sight, as she is about to leap up and climb the castle to get to X, she stops when she noticed the army arriving at the castle's front gate.

An army of ninja in white stood and stopped the people running away from the castle at the front gate, nanashi looks at the snake and turns to nahishi who stood next to her "we need all the support we got to take that thing down" she said as her eyes stay on nahishi, the old man took a step forwards and commanded his army "Execute every hebi guard and servant who has work for Juhebi" the army upon hearing those words attacked the people stopped in front of them.

Nanashi looks in horror at the action and turns to nahishi "what are you doing? We need them to take down that monster" she screamed, nahishi without a sign of mercy or doubt turns to nahishi "They followed juhebi and as the next emperor after his death, they fall under treason" he said, nanashi looks in anger "are you insane" in which she is slapped by nahishi "are you going against my words?" He glared at her, nanashi looks in fear.

"I advise you to go find you brother or die helping these traitors" he said as he lifted his arm to gesture her to leave, nanashi turns to look at the genocide happening in front of her, she closes her eyes as she looked away and runs to find Gio.

Kuro sees the slaughter caused by the ishi army which leaves her looking in horror and confusion, "why are they killing them?" her eyes tremble. The hebi guards run to action to fight the ishi army who has taken down some of their comrades, kuro stood still uncertain to help or go to X but this changes as she sees a stone spear flying her way, she barely dodges it by turning her head, her cheek got cut and blood spills.

Kuro touches her cheek and look up to the hebi guards fighting the ishi ninjas, "Sorry Suna, i gotta hit your friends" she said as she took her daggers out of her pouch and looks dead straight towards the ishi ninjas, some has made it through the hebi guards and runs towards her.

"Are you guys going to let me go if i said i wasn't with the hebi clan?" She said to them, the ninjas ignore her words and ready their swords "I tried Suna" she said to herself before rushing towards them with great speed catching the first one by surprise, she slash her dagger upward on the guards chest which makes him fall back, kuro takes this movement and step on him to leap towards the others.

The other guard send stone pebble at high speed towards her, she dodges by twisting in the air before falling down to the ground, a ninja pulls down a sword on to her in which she counters by moving towards their leg and slicing around it before pulling the dagger up slicing their back.

She fights the other while dodging the stone attacks sent her way with great reflexes, her leg suddenly stops moving as she looks down to find stone trapping her leg, she sees a wtone spear coming at her and dodges it again by moving her head but another one comes which she isn't fast enough to dodge so she uses both her dagger to cover her face which break the daggers in her hand. She looks at her shattered daggers with a shocked face, putting them into the pouch.

Before she could escape she is squish by two other stones from both side, trapping her in the middle with only her head poking out. She struggles to push the stone away as she notice one ninja moving towards her with his sword ready to slice her head. The pressure from both side crushing her as the ninja comes closer, she looks up to them while holding the stones with the last of her strength to not crush her, the ninja stands in front of her and swings his blade.

She closes her eyes but hears the clashing of blades, she opens her eyes to see Suna in front of her with his blade stopping the ninja's, "Suna" she screamed with joy "told you I'll be quick" he said in return. He pushes the blade "what are you guys doing?" He asked to the ninja in confusion "Lord nahishi ordered the attack, follow his word or be executed" the ninja answered "Lord nahishi?" Suna eyes widen in shock at his words. "Get out the way, or are you going against our lord's words" the ninja point his blade towards Suna, Suna looks conflicted but looks at Kuro then back at the ninja "I can't let you guys do this" he said.

The ninja strikes but is then pierced from behind by Suna, Suna eyes tremble as the ninja falls to the ground. Suna turns towards the other ninja running towards him, his hand shake but he then grips his blade tighter. He turns to sand and moves around the ninja approching him, he goes towards the ones holding Kuro with their powers.

Slashing them from behind, the ninja looks confuse as they turn around to see Suna taking down the ninjas behind them "hey, where you looking at?" Kuro grins before slashing them with her claws, dodging a stone throw and leaping to one before taking down the other one. Kuro stands beside Suna, "hey, are you okay?" She said in a soft tone, "I'm fine, we have to stop them" he said to reassure her.

They both turn to the army of ishi ninjas coming from the front gate as they slaughter the hebi clan "i never knew they could be like this" Suna said in anguish as his eyes tremble as the sight, he then puts on his white ninja mask and his eyes glare in anger "lord nahishi" he said in a menacing tone.

Kuro rummages her pouch and takes holds onto two weapons "Time to see how these toys work" she takes out two uzi guns from her pouch and holds them in each hand. "How do they work?" She looks at them both before accidentally pressing the trigger button and shooting out mutiple bullet, Suna flinches at the loud sound "what is that?" He said looking at Kuro, Kuro grins at her new toys. "They're awesome" her eyes sparkle, Suna looks worried but then turns towards the ninja approaching them.

"What about the giant snake" Kuro said as she points up, "giant what?" Suna turn to her then looked up to where she pointed "what the fuck is that?" His eyes look in panic. He looks at the giant snake then to the people approaching "we'll let X handle the big snake" suna said in which Kuro replied "Good idea, but i would like to have fight it too" she said a bit disappointed but grins at the many ninjas coming their way.

A ninja sends a giant boulder their way, suna changes to sand and moves towards the ninjas while Kuro leaps over the boulder and fires her new toys towards the ninjas, a number of them falling to the ground by the bullet rain. Suna slashes the people in front of him by constantly changing to sand and back, hitting them from behind or above.

Kuro gets an idea, she uses a ninja to leap onto the air, and flips upside down, extending her arms and shooting all around. She falls back down and cheers in excitement, Suna uses his sand to blind the ninja's sights before taking them down one by one in the the sand haze.

"Please let me down" Juhebi said in a panic voice still in X's hand, "if i did you would fall to your death" X chuckles as Juhebi looks down from where they stand up in the roof. "Why did you take the tablet you moron?" Juhebi screamed at him, "i needed a distraction and this did an amazing job" X grins as he stares up to the snake.

"wonder why it's not moving though" as he says that the same moment the snake makes it's move, the snake strikes a bite towards X, X jumps in the air and lands in another spot on the roof, The snake hisses. "Alright juhebi, hope ya can swim" he said "huh?" Juhebi exclaimed before getting thrown to the side landing in the river below.

X cracks his knuckles "Now this is Interesting" he said as he send chains flying towards the snake and wrapping around it's body trying to restrain it. The snake breaks off easily and attacks X with bites, X dodges by jumping into the air. He send chains ehich spawn from thin air in an attempt to pierce the snake's skin, the chains bounce off its hard scales, "one tough nut" he said while dropping to another side of the roof.

"Now i can't let you go off on a buffet run with those people down their" he said looking at the snake, the snake slams it's body down on to X but X tries to stop it with its hand and manages to, till the floor under him is destroyed by the pressure and he falls down as he is pushed by the snake.

X stands up, his head bleeding as he spits out blood "i just got these clothes too" he wipes the yukata off, he looks up to the sky which has a giant snake blocking it. His eyes widen as the snake dives towards him , he jumps out the way while chaining the snakes neck and pulling it to the ground, the snake rushes towards him but X stops it with his chains around it's next, pulling it from behind.

X grins but then a chain snap, then another, and the snake is lets loose on to him, the ninja outside sees a giant snake exit from the base of the castle to the side, before going up again, X stops it from bitting down with his chains wraping on it's jaw and head but the strength of its bite stops him from pulling any futher back.

He falls onto the courtyard, Suna and Kuro sees this and rush towards him, "X" They both scream. X stands up and looks at them both "that is one tough snake" he said with a chuckle, "you got it right?" Suna asked "you're super strong" Kuro followed, X grins "of course, nothing to worry about" he said "except for one thing" he then turns to Suna. Suna sees this and looks confused and worried "what?" Suna asked, "you know how your wound was healed back then, so i was actually just using my chains to connect your tissue and muscles together" X said with a nonchalant voice, "WHAT" suna screamed, "wait what does that mean?" Kuro looked confused.

"So i can summon and control chain in any size" X said while demonstrating it to them both "now it kinda takes alot of concentration to keep track off and i might have to focus on the big guns to face this snake" X said with a giggle. Kuro still looks confused and turns to Suna who is in shamble "so you're saying the wound will open up again and I'll bleed to death" Suna said. "Yea pretty much" X said with a smile, "when that happens, kuro you got him right?" X turns to Kuro who just nods and smiles back "okay boss" she said.

Suna looks in disbelief at how laid back the two are, "just take him towards the edge of this land, you should find people waiting for me out there, they should have the stuff to heal him" X said. "Wait this is-" Suna is cut off as the snake comes towards their way "alright back to work" X said as he is again taken by the snake while Suna and Kuro dodge out the way. Suna sighs and figth the ninja approching them with Kuro again, X is fling by the Snake.

X lands on the top of the wall surrounding the castle, "alright you leave me no choice snaky" he looks up towards the giant snake in front of him, "C'mon old friend, time to play" he said as he put his hands together in front of him like a clap, one hand is an open palm facing towards the other hand which is a fist, suddenly the air thickens as a dark aura emerge from around X.

A sword handle emerge from the open palm and the other hand grabs onto it, X's eyes grow dark as he spoke a single word "Akuma", his hand pulls out the sword. X's appearance changes as the sword is free, a single horn emerge from his head on the left side and behind him appears a tail ones own by demons, his pupils glow red as he stares at the snake. The snake strikes towards X, "First circle of Hell, Limbo" he spoke with a calm voice. Suddenly a black void emerge covering the vast land around, only X and the snake who has stopped in it's placed seemingly frozen in time stands in this dark void. X seems calmer in this state and walks in the sky towards the snake, the sword on his right slowly lifts up.

The people fighting on the courtyard stoped in their places and turn towards the giant snake, Suna and kuro eyes look in shocked. The snake slowly falls into different pieces cut from a blade, X stood in front of it still in the air and watches it fall to the floor lifeless. He walks back to the wall and puts back akuma into his palm, his form returning to as it was. He coughs out blood "guess it's been a while, old friend" he said as he holds himself up.

A rumbling happens behind him, as the snake comes back to life by rebuilding each cut pieces "you gotta be kidding me" X sighs as he turns around to see the snake rise up again. "Now you're just being annoying" X said, the Snake charges at him again and he dodges by running along the top of the wall. The guard and ninjas sees the snake get back up again and proceeds to continue their prior activities, Suna and Kuro look in worry but is cut short by the ninjas attacking them.

Suna fights off the ninja around him, he cuts them down one by one as he slowly goes out of breath suddenly a ninja stands in front of him "didn't think you would be so strong sand boy" that voice Suna recognizes almost immediately as the captain of the ninjas. "This isn't right, you have to stop this" Suna again tries to stop them, "they push us out of the kingdom and made us live like dogs while they live in this village, no mercy for the hebi clan" the captain said. Suna looks in disbelief but grit his teeth and grips his blade tighter, "I'm going to stop you" he says with determination and confidence, the captain laughs "you're still the same old weak sand boy".

They both charge at each other, their blade clashing, Suna turns to sand and move behind him but as he reforms and tries to attack from behind but he is hit by the captain. Suna looks shock and jumps back "how did you?" Suna asked, the captain chuckles "that trick won't work on me" the captain turns to look at Suna.

Suna glares at him and charges at the captain, the captain stood at his place and watches Suna, Suna turns to sand and move around him. The captain closest his eyes and slashes above him, almost hitting suna but he blocks it, Suna turns to sand again and tries to attack the captain from his blindspots but the captain keeps up and blocks him everytime.

Suna grits his teeth and tries to attack from the front waiting for the slash to come down on his sand form before quickly reforming to attack, but as he changes back he is hit by another strike from the captain and jump back. "You're to slow" the captain said as he grin at Suna, Suna holds the cut on his arm and glares at the captain, in his mind he thinks *I need to transform faster* as he grips his sword tighter. Suna rushes towards the captain in his sand form, reforming to attack but is hit by the captain's fast attacks, Suna tries again and again to which he is hit back by the captain.

Suna screams out and finally hits the captain after letting a sword past through him and changing as quick as possible to cut the captain, the captain grunts and starts to attack Suna in fury of blows in which Suna turns to sand to dodge him "can't attack now huh?" The captain said mockingly. Suna thinks to himself *I can't transform as fast as his attack* he tries again but is hit on his shoulder.

His eyes then widen to his chest, he turns to sand and reforms again to attack the captain, he turns to sand on one of the captains hit but then reforms to attack. The captain sees this and stabs his sword, Suna takes the blow which pierces the side of his stomach, the captain is shock as to why he didn't turn to sand in which Suna smiles before taking this chance to cut into the captains head "i didn't need to be faster, i just needed to stop you" Suna said as he sees half of the captains head fall onto the floor.

Kuro sees Suna gets stab and rushes to him "Suna" she screamed as she looks at the sword. "It's fine, it didn't hit a vital organ and with the sword in i think i won't lose that much blood" Suna hold the sword stab into him and smiles, Kuro eyes worry as she looks at him, "it's not that ba-" before he could finish the wound on his chest opens up and he starts to fall before getting catch by Kuro "Suna the wound X was talking about" She said as she holds him in her arms on the floor. Suna looks up "that means X..." he turns his head to the direction where X was and his eyes widen, X is smash to a wall and his head looks down unconscious "what happen X?" Suna grit his teeth, The snake moves closer to X's body in the distance.

Kuro remembering X's words, she pulls the sword out of Suna body in which Suna grunts from pain, she then pick him up and start running towards the edge of the domain "Kuro, we can't leave X" Suna said as he looks at X in the distance, Kuro doesn't stop but holds Suna tighter in her arms as she runs "I believe in X, i only need to worry about you" she said with confidence as she moves swiftly through the battlefield, jumping from ninja head to ninja head, before ending up the wall and going towards the bamboo forest.

X opens his eyes slowly to see the Snake approaching him slowly, he smiles "you got me, but that was a mistake cause now i have no more restrains" He said with a grin as he looks up to the snake.
