XXXXXX- THE DRAGON OF THE WEST

He stared at the letter he’d just received and felt his inner flame stoke itself into being separate from his will for the first time in years. He brought it all under control once again even as he silently admonished himself for failing in his discipline.

Natsu the Thunderer. He was going to put a wrench in the plans the White Lotus held so dear. Their first plan to see Zuko bring an end to the war with his ascendancy to the throne had been accel...

Chapter 9.1- Doom Days

The trees that held the Hellhound still jerked sharply under my will and moved the best out of the way of the spell. Just like I’d suspected, the silvery spell tore through the few plants that were in its way and then had a short struggle with the wards around the arena where it threatened to pass through the powerful words that Dumbledore himself had set up before it dissipated. I turned to look at Delacour and she sheepishly returned my gaze from her crouched position. She’d attempted t...

She could not feel her limbs. It was like they were frozen in place and could not move. This was not the first time this was ever happening.. All those years ago during Halloween. She remembered it vividly. Stepping out of the loo and being confronted by a creature that was five times as tall as she was and wielding a club that was her height. She had frozen then. Just like she was frozen now. Except this time she was not the one in danger. It was the boy that h...

FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE SECOND GREAT SHINOBI WORLD WAR

By general consensus, they would be steering clear of the Land of Whirlpools for this mission so that meant they would have to sneak past the Land of Hot Springs. The Uzumaki clan, in the wake of the attack and their planned exodus to Konoha’s aegis had activated a series of protections around the island that basically made that entire area impassable to all but those who held the blood. The whirlpools that had once been tamed to act...

After Tobirama’s last breath, it felt like everything took place in a blur. The therapist assigned to me says it’s a symptom of shock. She’s impressed I could even remember things as vividly as I did. But I would never forget what he looked like when the life left him. For the first time I realised just how old this man was.Chakra had done a good job of hiding it, but this man had been a full adul when Konoha was formed, and that had been decades ago. His white hair, darkened by time ha...

Chapter 8.4- Doom Days

When the beast turned around to look at the remaining champions, it was like all four of them in the arena moved at the same time. Harry’s wand flashed out and lightning from the sky itself struck down on where the Hellhound had been standing. It dodged the spell by the bare skin off its teeth, but somehow that spell had just been an attempt to herd the beast in a direction. Delacour’s singing began again, and this time it took a completely different pitch. Cedric moved his wand to and fr...

Chapter 31.4- And so the Dragons Danced

She left them sitting on the bed, chained to one another, and walked to her working table. The herbs she need were at the bottom of her pouch and she took no time getting them put and beginning to mix. Medicinal supplies had been in short supply since they’d taken Omashu, and Natsu had had her working with the natives to see what could be used from the earth kingdom’s natural flora for their purposes to replace the supplies that should otherwise have been coming from home. She tested them...

In the end, she finally had the chance to realize that the punishment was a copout. It was a way for her to be punished without truly being punished. For all the love she held for her fellow water benders, nothing equalled the love she had for her own life. It was why she had regretted her decision to allow Natsu be taken on that very day. Sure, causing a scene against so many earthbenders would have brought an unhealthy level of risk to her life, but there had been nothing stopp...

FIVE YEARS (DAYS) BEFORE THE SECOND GREAT SHINOBI WORLD WAR

The old man sighed. He looked at the person across from him and he sighed again. Old man, he thought with a chuckle. He’d begun referring to himself as that out of a sense of irony. He was still in his thirties and had decades in front of him to live but the young Kushina Uzumaki had taken one look at him and christened him ‘old man’. It had made him chuckle at the time but now the term w...

Chapter 8.3- Doom Days

Another roar and it tore apart the shadowy mass that seemed to have held it in place for a moment, no longer keen to be so constrained. It was on the move again,, and this time there was little to be done to distract it. The creature was smart, very smart. Krum’s spells had been the ones to hurt it so it was Krum it chased.

Even if it moved slower than earlier- a product of Delacour’s magic, no doubt-, it did not matter because it was not to be stopped. Diggory’s creatures did li...

Chapter 8.2- Doom Days

 She was barely able to track it as it covered the space between her friend’s wan and his target in less time than it would have taken her to blink. The lighting bolt hit the Hellhound and forced it backwards, sending it skidding backwards at last a dozen feet. Just as her vision returned to normal, the smoke cleared up and the beast stood on all fours, shaking its head like it was clearing fogginess from its brain. That was the only effect it had from taking one of the most powerful s...

“She did. Probably out of some misguided sense of filial loyalty. Water-benders one and all” I said in reply.

“How many did we capture?” He asked.

“Close to a dozen?” I replied, not completely certain.

“How many men?”

“Three” This, I knew for sure.

“We all know how things work in the Fire Nation. The Women are useful prisoners. They will birth a new generation of water benders loyal to the fire nation. The men, however? They’re collat...

“But that is because our bodies are different. The other animal clans can teach you to gather natural en ergo with their methods simply by staying still and not moving, but for us we will have to change your body as it presently exists to allow you have access to our form of Sage Mode” he said.

“What do you mean by that? Change my body?”

“Think of it more like a metamorphosis. What we propose doing for you, we have done for one other in recent memory. The process is simp...

“No no. Idiot, knead your chakra like this not like that” Jinpei said and then proceeded to do exactly what I’d just been doing with a few extra steps.

“My way is more efficient” I instantly refuted his suggestion. With my eyes I could see the best path to achieving what he wanted done, but for some reason he had no trust in it.

“Your way does not work. You need the steps to make it work, idiot” He said, showing me the technique again.

“No. I...

“So what are we going to do about our healing friend and her lover?” Toji asked as he swaggered up to stand next to me as we watched the boats be loaded for our journey. For reasons beyond my understanding, Azula had deemed it necessary to make the journey here, but had still not waited for my army to prepare itself to leave for her to make her own exit. She’d left on an impressive Galley that flew the Insignia of the Fire Nation, except that instead of red, the flame was ...

In the end, therapy was one of the few things I found myself looking forward to on a daily basis.

“So what do things look like now., Shorirama?” She asked as I floated in the water and stared up at the sky above us. She was one of the few whales whiling to come to the surface. It was probably because she was one of the smaller of her kind. Boss said she was still older than me by a fair margin, but had slipped that the two of us were somewhat close in age. I guess th...

Izanagi, my mind wasted no time in supplying an explanation as I stared at the living breathing visage of a man I’d just watched die. That was really jarring, I told myself. To have watched the life fade from his body, certain that it had happened and to have it just unmade from reality. Casting a genjutsu on reality itself as I’d heard the fanbase describe it as in my first life certainly didn’t do justice to how absolutely broken the jutsu was.

“How is Granduncle?” I asked,...

“Enough Potter” Mcgonagall hissed harshly, and while that brought some clarity to me it did nothing to stop the laughter. I’d fucked up. I’d completely and utterly fucked up. Now I was going to pay for it. I could see all the hints I’d ignored now that I knew what was coming. I hadn’t found dragons in the forest because there had been none in the first place. When Firenze said the creature of fire was in the forest, I hadn’t asked any other questions- thinking he was talking abo...

She stared at all of them. From one to the other, her eyes went as she tried to place them all in categories. Nine Generals. Nine Generals had been placed under her command for this siege, and she would never admit it out loud, but she found herself just a bit lost. She could probably defeat all nine of them in Agni Kai. Maybe even at the same time but she had nothing on them when it came to military expertise. Still, she had to fake it here. The strength of the ro...

“So Ba Sing Se, huh?” Toji asked as we rode next to each other. Toph was to my other side, having a uniquely terrible time. I’d told her she couldn’t just walk the distance because it would slow us down and being on a horse meant she had no way of ‘seeing’ her surroundings. It was a unique weakness that I was doing my best to eliminate.

“Indeed. The big one. The one we’ve all been waiting for.” I said.

“So how are we getting there? I know most of this lot have...

The next day, the eleven of us were in the classroom before 8 had even come close. The last to walk in had been Kirishima, and even he had arrived a whole fifteen minutes before the bell went off. It was a tense atmosphere. Especially since the other seats that had belonged to the others remained open. I had some idea of what was going to happen in the end thanks to the conversation we had with Inasa the night before. He said his class were being trained as Class 1B but we’d al...

Chapter 7.5- Doom Days

The Beast landed with a thud that echoed through the arena. Echoed because every screaming mouth had shut itself with its arrival. The hellhound was many things at the same time. Majestic, great, fucking dangerous. Perhaps the last one was most important. It landed and took two steps forward to orient itself before it growled. The audience remained silent. Dead silent.

So did the four of us. I wondered if this was what it felt like to be frozen in fear. When the creature looked at us, ...

“Princess Azula” I greeted on bent knees. Because what else could I have done? Sung was an asshole for springing this up on me the way he did. Like it was an afterthought. The presence of a Princess was not something that one mentioned as a lesser matter. The Royal Family were not forgiving off insults, and from what I knew of the Princess from canon, she was not the most stable of individuals. Even for a daughter of Agni, her sanity left a lot to be desired. But in the en...

He woke up to darkness. That was strange. When had he fallen asleep? Even more confusing, when had his bed become so wet? Or so soft even? He slept on a futon, he knew. His eyes snapped wide open as he realised what he had been doing before waking up. His byakugan came to life in the space between seconds and said eyes rolled to the back of his head as he blanked out.

“Stop screaming, Gaki” He heard come from around him and his mouth shut itself instantly. He was i...

“Thank you, Midoriya-san” He said, whirling around to pick up the thin piece of plastic and affix it to his shirt.

“Drop the honorific” I said again.

“Of course, of course. I’m sorry” He said the words quickly.

“Now let’s see about getting you a room” I said to move us along. The system would already have assigned him a room in the building if any of the staff were around to prompt it to do that. Without that, we could just give him any room and have h...

“Nothing much. Vour friend is stupid, and Vou are weak. Vhat else is there to say about British vizards?” He asked with a scoff through his thick accent. I stared him down, contemplating replying but just thought better of it. We were going to be facing a guaranteed wizardkiller as ‘Profitable Beasts and Where to Hunt them’ described our opponent so there was no need in speaking to someone who could be dead by the end of the day. I briefly contemplated deciding to hasten his journey t...

I caught the scroll in mid air while my heart beat rapidly. Had my plan worked? It seemed like it had. But there was always a chance that something had been added in to make it a pyrrhic victory. I practically tore open the scroll’s seal to read the words within. My eyes scanned through at a rapid pace. By the order of his royal bla blah blah…in recognition of…blah blah blah….commends your…charges you to….confers upon you the rank of General of the Fire Nation, and grants the comm...

Chapter 26.4- One Thousand Hands

Pathetic, I internally scoffed as I sunk into the wave and forced the water to contain me in a ball to shield me from the impact as the wave crashed against the ground and the Jinchuriki by extension. All the force did little to move the beast, even as it abstained from bracing itself or otherwise even acknowledging the wave as a threat. That was fine. That was only the first half of the jutsu after all.

My fingers contorted between the horse and ram seals twice as I felt the second ju...
