August 21 Gaden Hospital…
Doctor in a ward; commander, the Lieutenant is requesting for you.
Lara; tell him I'm not going.
Doctor; alright.
After the doctor left...
Lara, sitting down next to a hospital bed; why, TELL ME WHY! YOU WHERE NEVER LIKE THIS BEFORE, 3 YEARS AGO ALL YOU DID WAS TOY WITH ME FOR YOUR OWN SATISFACTION! THEN OUT OF NOWHERE YOU ASKED ME OUT. That was just a year ago now, I thought I could get back at you for all those times you teased me, I wanted you to hate me so much you'd leave me and never look back. But then, you do this, why?
Lara; I hate you.
I HATE YOU!
Lara began hitting his chest with her fist, then stopped. She then began to sob.
August 23rd 9:15, Tomodachi residence
The smell of sweat filled the home gym, the sound of boxing echoed through the room as Jake's fist broke deeper and deeper, into a block of steel, the sound then stopped.
Tom while holding a dumbbell; NOW!
K then attacked Jake with a Jab to the neck, Jake while blindfolded dodged it and attacked K with multiple Jabs but K swatted all of them with one hand, then C came from the back holding a knife in an attempt to pierce his back, but just as the edge touched him, he reacted by swiftly moving right, then as C was trying to re-adjust Jake swiftly attacked him with a strike on the neck causing C to fall. Then K kicked Jake in the face, then the side of the head causing him to go on defense but then K then kicked Jake's leg multiple times till finally his knee hit the ground. Then K took a few steps back then ran and leaped toward Jake in an attempt to punch him again, but then Jake grabbed his fist, then his arm and slammed K to the ground twice before pushing him aside.
Tom; Alright, that's enough.
Jake then took off his blindfold and sat down.
Tom; Impressive. I actually thought they'd beat you this time around.
K trying to stand up; Ouch, guess we're getting a little cocky seeing how you've been training for 3 days straight master.
Tom; you also missed two school days so far.
Jake; It's fine, I'm sure I can spin something up tomorrow.
Tom; I can't believe you're going to school in august anyway
Jake; it's an extracurricular course my dad insisted I'd take.
Tom; that sucks.
Jake; I know.
Tom; anyway, so how do you feel now?
Jake; my head is clearer but I just feel mad for no reason.
Tom; I see, I feel a little off as well. I wonder how brother is doing right now?
Jake; He's fine. I'm more worried about us right now. These terrorist bastards might know our location, or worse, they may be already here.
Tom; I see.
10:20 Gaden palace
Kurotsuchi, who was sitting at her littered office desk; I believe that is none of your concern right now.
Darui; OK, now getting on to the next matter, we hear there might be rumors that Yuzawa may still be alive, at least barely.
Kurotsuchi; excuse me?
Darui; yes, one of my spies extracted some information from a few interesting individuals who we believe may be in league with the terrorists. And after collecting some information, we were able to determine that this information may not be total crap.
Kurotsuchi; And have you told Jeremiah about this?
Darui sitting at the other side of the desk with a sinister smile; …
Kurotsuchi; I'll take that as a no.
Darui; I believe the leader has better things to do then waste his time on baseless rumors after all, for all we know this may just be a coordinated scheme to throw us off.
Kurotsuchi; I think I understand.
Darui; now may I ask again, why haven't you moved your office to the Takaito like the rest of us? I mean it's about time you did.
Kurotsuchi then thought for a few seconds, then said, "I'll keep that in mind".
Darui; so, does that mean you don't hate me anymore?
Kurotsuchi; get out of my office.
Darui; all right, will do.
Outside the office Akimichi was standing right outside the door listing in with a look of concern on his face.
Naomi; is there something going on?
Akimichi; oh, it's nothing you need to be concerned about Uzumaki chan.
Naomi; please, call me Naomi.
Akimichi; alright, now may I ask, what are you doing here?
Naomi; I was just passing by to the princess's room to collect something, I was told it was important to the leader at this time.
Akimichi; alright carry on then.
Naomi; right.
Naomi then went on her way.
Akimichi; *sigh* that was close.
Darui from behind him; Exactly what was close, Konoha?
In a dim underground cell...
Jake in chains and bleeding from the mouth; *How long have I been here, I can't move, my body won't budge. When will he come back, will he come back? *
Jake then felt a heavy, spiked chain tear into his skin.
Jake; *He's back. I can't move my mouth, my jaw must be broken, never mind, it's over there, right in front of me*
Jake's head then fell to the ground.
Jake looking at the sun; It's hot, so hot.
He said this as he laid down on the scorching sands of an arid desert, with no water nor food he laid there under the burning sun.
Jake; *My head is going blank, my throat hurts, and my stomach feels like it's consuming itself, what's that up there? Oh, I see, Vultures*
Jake then closed his eyes and passed.
Jake suddenly opened his eyes, and found himself gasping for air,
Jake; *Am I in water? My powers aren't working, and oh no*
Jake then looked around him and saw he was surrounded by sharks
Jake; *I godda move, no my movement is attracting them. Ouch one just bit me! Wait, now they're all biting me! It hurts. it hurts. It hurts. it hurts. It hurts. it hurts. It hurts. it hurts.

The sharks then scattered leaving nothing but shreds of cloth, and blood traces behind. Jake then opened his eyes, and found himself in ancient Europe.
Jake; *Why am I tied to a pole? And why is there wood all around me... oh no* Hey people I'm not a witch!
?; Thou lies shall not save thou now.
They then set the wood on fire.
I screamed and screamed, over and over, as my body was engulfed, it was worse than anything I had ever felt before I felt my skin become crisp, by blood boiling and my brain shutting down, I then looked in a distance and the last thing I saw, was Con's face smiling at me from the crowd. I then woke up, and I was still in the gym. I don't remember when I went to sleep, C and K where sleeping right beside me, the sun was just starting to rise. I then looked back and then I remembered, I had gone through all that before, in an instant. That was when we fought Con 3 years ago, I haven't gotten over it since.
Jake, just arriving at school a few hours later; *Let's get this over with*
