Yamato comes back a few minutes later "ok, I've located them. But it's gonna be tricky. There is a thousand of assassins, I can take out about 500 before my chakra will be used up. So you'll have to take the rest out Roxy"
"Got it, but what about Midna?"
Yamato makes a shadow clone "my clone will be watching over her"
"Ok, Midna I want you to stay here with him"
"Please come back sis"
"I will I promise" she said looking over at Yamato "let's go"
Yamato nods and goes out to the battlefield. The assassins notice him and charge him. He sends out a flood of sharp wood and pierces the first wave of assassins.
Roxy comes up behind Yamato and stands next to him with her daggers in hand.
"Just remember to fight them with all you got. I'm sending out a very big jutsu, and I'll have to fall back because I won't have enough chakra."
Yamato then charges forward yelling "wood style: deep forest emergence stage 5!" A giant forest came out and engulfed half of the assassins killing them. He then falls back and yells "on you now!"
Roxy starts to attack the assassins killing them quickly.
At the time, Soji comes back and goes to Yamato with his eyes showing he is haunted by seeing his village in ashes "w-what happened?"
"I'll explain later, go help Roxy fend off those assassins."
Soji nods and sprints towards them
Roxy had anger and hate in her eyes "WHERE'S MY MOTHER AND SISTER!! TELL ME NOW!!" She yelled killing 4 assassins at lightning speed.
Soji sees her fighting and something in him stirs and it's the nine tails and it's laughing. "You don't know by how much you are superior to her. One day, you shall fight, and it was already a prophecy that you would. It just depends on when you do" the nine tails leaves and Soji remembers when he first met her. He shakes his head as he is disorientated. He joins the fight cutting down assassins just as fast as Roxy and starts to go into a invincible mode. He has these moments when he is just simply invincible and he uses it now to help kill the assassins with Roxy.
Roxy looks over at him "didn't think you would make it" she said killing another assassin.
Soji grins at her "I never miss an opportunity to help friends. My memory is coming back slowly though it won't be easy"
Roxy smiles and cuts down another assassin "TELL ME WHERE MY MOTHER AND SISTER ARE YOU ASSHOLES!!" She yelled.
Soji teleports behind the assassins using a ice style to spear them from behind.
Roxy grabs an assassin by his shirt "where are they!!"
The assassins points at the building "Soji stay here, I'll get my mother and sister" she said killing the assassin and runs towards the building.
Soji nods and feels something powerful near by. "Hurry though! Something big is coming!"
Roxy doesn't hear him and keeps running and slows down and walks into the building and her eyes widen in horror.
Soji runs towards her yelling "what's wrong?"
Roxy backs up as she looks at her dead mother and sister and a hooded figure standing over there bodies.
Soji stares at them in horror and then says "who are you! What do you want?!" He also felt nervous because this was the source of the unknown power.
The figure removes his hood and the Boss was standing there with a wicked grin.
Soji knew something was off when he saw her boss dead the first time. "Y-your dead!" Soji said alarmed
"That's what you thought, isn't it lil Roxy"
Roxy's eyes starts glowing red "I killed you once I can kill you again!" She yelled running at her boss faster than light its self but the boss grabs her arm and her eyes widen.
Soji watches it happen in slow motion. He couldn't believe how fast that dagger went into Roxy's body. Nor it's accuracy, right into her heart.
Roxy fell down and started gasping.
Soji ran to her side and said "Roxy! Don't worry, I'll get you to Yamato. He can help you with this!" He teleports her to Yamato, and faces her boss. "You remind me of someone who wouldn't die no matter what was sent at him. Just tell me, are you madara Uchiha?"
"I don't know what your talking about kid, and I'm not looking to fight you, only Roxy" he said then disappears.
Soji grins and teleports him back "your still marked asshole. Stop running away from your battles. You need to fight them, not run away like a coward"
The boss at the speed of light stabs him in the shoulder "I'm not fighting a kid who can't keep up" he then teleports some place far away.
Soji laughs and pulls the dagger out "you don't know how fast I am, do you" he appears in front of the boss at lightning speed. Faster than Roxy could hope to achieve. He walks up to him and gives him his dagger back, then backs up a few steps and pulls out his dagger "parry with me. Show me your skill and I'll show you mine"
The boss eyes widen and then tries to stab him again.
Soji block ma it just as fast, grins and says "that's all you got? Ok. My turn." Soji throws his dagger at the boss, clipping his ear, then he teleports to it, throws it again at him, clipping his leg, and he does this a few more times till he is on the ground, his left leg immobilized "so that good enough?" Soji laughs at the man
The boss tries to stand up but can't.
Soji laughs and says "don't underestimate your opponent based off there looks" Soji walks up to the boss and slices one of his eyes.
The boss winces a bit "why protect her when she has been lying to you"
Soji shakes his head "I could care less if she is lying to me. She still has my trust. And I'm protecting her from you. Asshole." With that, Soji uses a jutsu that grounds the soul to the body, making it so it can't be reanimated in anyway "any last words?"
"Go to hell"
"Gladly" Soji then strikes him in his heart, killing him instantly, he pulls out his sword, and falls down unconscious. He used up to much energy doing that speed and he needs to rest.
Roxy stands up and teleports to Soji and falls to the ground and slowly crawls over to him and draws a healing symbol and puts her hands on his chest and her hands starts to glow brightly.
Soji wakes up and see Roxy healing him and he panicked "Roxy, why are you doing this? And did Yamato heal you?"
"I refused and came for you"
Soji looks alarmed "then let me heal you. You don't have much longer" Soji pushes her on her back and starts to heal her with the nine tails power. Within seconds her chest is sealed and healed.
"Why did you help me? I wanted to be withmy mother and sister " she said sitting up and looking at the ground.
"Because I didn't want you to die Roxy" he replied
"But I wanted to" she said grabbing her dagger and aims it at her heart.
Soji grabs her dagger saying "live on for them, don't kill yourself because of them."
Roxy looks at Soji with tears in her eyes
Soji looks her in the eyes "just trust me"
Roxy can't hold the tears back and they stream down her cheeks
Soji brushes them off saying "look, everything will be ok. Your boss is dead. This time for good. And I'm here. Everything will be ok, just trust me"
Roxy starts crying.
Soji hugs her "it's going to be ok Roxy, it will"
Roxy hugs him back and cries on his shoulder.
Soji just pats her shoulder and says "just let it all out"
After a few more minutes Roxy stops hugging him and wipes her tears away.
Soji grabs her shoulder and looks at her "your ok, right?"
Roxy looks at him "y-yes I-I'll be fine..... But now I have to tell Midna" she said looking away.
"Don't worry. I'll tell her. All you need to do is be there to show her that your alive. You remember your promise to her, right?"
"Yes I do, and no I need to tell her..."
