General Zoah was looking over Nick City. “This city well feel the power of the Fire Nation.” He said. He control 450 Swordsmen, 300 pikemen, and 240 of the new soldiers, he even had 9 cannons. “Order the cannons to prepare fire.” He ordered. The cannons soon were pointed at the city. The artillery men helped load the guns. The infantry waited their order. The general ordered “Fire!” the cannons soon fired on the city. General Zoah was Azula's best generals, at the age of 19 he's is one of the Fire Nation's youngest and brillant generals.

Emperor Plankton was sitting on his throne as an Imperial Halberdier ran in “Sir, the city in under attack! What should we do!?” Plankton then jumped up, “What! The rest of the army is out! Attack the invaders at all cost!” he ordered. Soon 225 halberdiers and 180 musketeers were running to the area as the city was getting bombarded. The civilians and the popular nicktoons were running around trying to take cover.

As the men was all there the officer ordered the halberdiers to line up in front of the musketeers to protect them. General Zoah looked at the line up, “order some of the cannons to fire on the enemy formation, break their will to fight!” the 9 cannons fired on the enemy troops. The troops ranks were breaking up, “stick together men!” yelled the officer, loose formation!” he ordered the troops spread out their ranks. “That’s a mistake. Swordsmen prepare to charge!” he yelled.

The sword infantry got into their formation, they waited for the charge. Zoah nodded, the officer leading them pulled out his sword and yelled “Charge!” the infantry all yelled as they ran towards the troops. The halberdiers were ordered to engage the enemy the musketeers were order to fire but to stop once the halberdiers engage the swordsmen. The musketeers raised their rifles to take aim, the swordsmen was closing in as the musketeers opened fire, the bullets hit the first ranks of the troops they where hit in many places. Soon the halberdiers made a wall of their pole arms as they clashed into the swordsmen. The unlucky were impaled by the sharp halberd.

The lucky made it through as they slashed at the halberdiers either cutting their necks or even slicing their heads off. Zoah watched as the infantry fought the way they were suppose too. He notices that the musketeers were doing nothing. “Order all cannons to fire on the gunmen’s.” he said. the cannons fired on the musketeers. Everywhere bodies flew as the musketeers were losing hope, the cannons soon made the land a barren battleground the dead laid as the cannons still blew away. The remanding musketeers started to rout.

The officer yelled “get back into battle cowards!” then a routing musketeer yelled “Screw this, I’m not going to die like this!” he threw down his weapon and ran into the city. The officer then yelled “you’re supposed to be the fearless…” he was cut off when a cannon blast blew in front of him blowing him back while taking his legs, He was soon dead.

Zoah smiled as he notices that the troops were beginning to rout. The remaining halberdiers were going to stay and fight. The 450 swordsmen were a little too much for the 225 halberdiers. The last 23 halberdiers ran for there lives as the swordsmen charged to them. Zoah smiled “now, let’s get the city.” He said as he ordered the rest of the troops to charge into the city.

Cartlon was out for a moment. As he got up he was on a dirt road, trees were on each side of the roads, birds were chirping. Cartlon got up; his vision was still recovering from the travel. He had a better looked at the road, it looked like a road for station wagons, it was about the size of a modern road but its looks aren’t design for modern day cars.

“Were I’m I?” he thought to himself. He soon remembers about the map. He gets out his map. He looks at where he might be at. He saw that the Pangaea he was on was the size of the United States in Real World. He then looked for a dirt road anywhere, so far there was a dirt road but it wasn’t even labeled and its environment was in the forest. He realizes that his hands aren’t real anymore, they were animated. His anime hands were shown in this world. “Weird” he thought, he continued looking on the map. “I’m I even on the right continent?” he wondered. He puts the map down to see the road. He then got out his compass. The needle pointed north, Cartlon then looked for the map. He sawed the direction legend, if he goes north he will hit a town or a city, if he goes south then he will hit a ocean that is labeled: Toonabbean Sea.

“Well my best chance is going north.” he said. “If I can reach a town then I’ll know where I’m at.” he added. He then put his hand bag on the ground, he opened it and got out a little hummer, he held it in his hands. He placed it on the ground. He backed away as he yelled “HUMMERUTO GORDO!!” then the tiny hummer blew in a normal size one. Cartlon simply open the trunk, he puts his stuff in. he then noticed his Hummer was also animated. He then got in the drivers seat. He starts it. “I hope they don’t mind me using this road.” he thought as he drove off.

After a couple of hours, he reach up to a gate it was pretty tall. It looked like it was made of the earth, or a lease thought this was even called earth here. He noticed that the gate was large too. He then saw a insignia on the top of the gate, it looked like a spiral leaf. Cartlon stop his vehicle and got out, he took out his map and looked at it. He soon found that he was at a place called “The Village of the Hidden Leaf.” he then got out. He made his Hummer returned to its tiny size. He puts it in his pocket.

Soon enough the doors opens, Cartlon noticed it “are they expecting me?” he thought as he walked in. when he walked in the gate. He passed some buildings and soon enough he begin singing:

The Road goes ever on and on

Down from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the road has gone,

And I must follow, if I can,

Pursuing it with eager feet,

Until it joins some larger way

Where many paths and errands meet.

And whither then? I cannot say.

As he finished singing the villagers there stared at him. “They act like they never seen a wizard before.” He thought. While walking he comes by to several stores, markets, and restaurants.

He walks by a flower shop, where at the corner of his eye he saw a girl with white skin and white hair with light blue eyes that was behind a cash resister. Cartlon notice that she has a pony tail with a long string of hair sticking out the left of her forehead. He saw what she was wearing her whole body seems to be taped and wearing on top of it was a blue-purple shirt with a skirt that seems to but cut from the sides.

“Easy, Cartlon you’re here on a mission, not on a chic hunt.” He thought as he looked back till he heard a female voice saying, “Can I help you?” Cartlon looked back meeting the eyes of the cute girl. “Oh…um…I’m just browsing around, looking at flowers.” He said noticing that on her waist there was a belt on the buckle where the same symbol that was on the gate, the spiral leaf.

“You look cute, are you new around here?” Said the girl. “Oh, Sorry.” He chuckled as he introduced him self. “I’m Cartlon the Grey. Wizard of the real world, but you can call me Wizard boy.” he said holding up his hand. “I’m Ino Yamanaka. So you’re a wizard, huh got any magic tricks?” She asks as the wizard smiled responding back to her, “Yeah I do, look back.” He said as Ino looked back seeing tiny rain clouds watering her plants and flowers. “Thanks.” Ino replied “Now I don’t have to worry about watering them now.” as she gave him a flower.

“This is to remember me handsome.” She went back inside. Cartlon looked at her responding. “It’s a pleasure meeting you.” As he started to walk off. “This place is better than I thought.” He says to himself as he put the flower in his leather bag.

He looked at his map again but stops to look around again. He then heard some body talking so he decided to see what it was. The sound lend him in an ally and in this ally was a boy with yellow spike hair and blue eyes, he was wearing a weird yellow jumpsuit with a large turtleneck collar. With him was another good-looking chic with pink hair and green eyes, she was wearing a red dress like kimono, with a blue pants for underneath. Cartlon straighten his hat as he walked towards them.

“This place is full of chic’s.” He thought as he got near enough to say, “Hey, there I need to know how I get to the CN City.” He said as they turned around and saw what they saw was a tall young wizard with grey hair and a pointy hat. The pink haired girl got a love struck for him very quick. “That’s where we are going, too.” Said the yellow haired kid. “I’m Cartlon, Wizard of the real world.” He said as he caught the pink haired girl staring at him with hearts in her eyes.

“I’m Naruto Uzumaki.” Said the yellowed haired boy. He looked over to the pink haired that had red cheeks. “Don’t be embarrassed.” Cartlon said as he took off his hat. “You can call me Wizard boy if you like my dear, now may I know your name?” He asks looking into her eyes. “I’m Sakura Haruno.” She said. “Now I heard that you guys are going to CN City too, is it not?” He asked Naruto. “Um…yeah that’s were the tournament is being held at, believe it.” He said trying not to get annoyed by Cartlon hitting on Sakura.

“What tournament?” Asked Cartlon. “It’s held on every five years to see who will be the greatest warrior in Toonatopia.” Answered Naruto. “Anybody won?” Cartlon asked. “Um…no.” Naruto answers as he pointed to the city. “But I’m going to win, believe it!” He said as Cartlon looked at his watch and said. “Should we get going?” He said as Naruto said. “Will get something to eat first, I’m starving.” “Naruto, you just ate a dozen bowls of ramen.” Sakura said as three started to walk to the ramen booth.

The group was eating at a noodle stand called: “Ichiraku Ramen Bar“. Cartlon was eating noodle soap; Sakura sat by Cartlon as Naruto was sitting by Sakura. Naruto was gulping up the soap as usually. “So how many miles is the trip to CN City from here?” asked Cartlon as Naruto said “we have to leave now because it kinds of takes us weeks to get there.” Cartlon almost choked on his soap. He wipes his mouth and asked “do you travel by car?” both Naruto and Sakura looked confused. “Car?” they asked, Cartlon then said “you mean you travel on foot?” Naruto nodded. “It’s like a warm up, for us.” Naruto smiled.

Cartlon was soon drinking the juice from the ramen. He took out the map and said “well if you go with me, we can leave in my Hummer.” he said. Naruto then asked while looking over the map “what’s a Hummer?” Cartlon smiled as he snapped his fingers, and then there was horn honking outside. They both got out seeing the grey Hummer. “What’s this?” Naruto asked. Cartlon then said “this is a Hummer.” he said, “it’s called a vehicle in my world and it’s quite the tool for getting around. Faster on foot.” he added. Naruto closed his eyes and thought about it, Sakura then said “let’s go!”

Soon enough the three drove off in the Hummer out to open road. Cartlon was driving as Sakura was sitting next to him; Naruto was sitting in the back with narrow eyes he looked at Cartlon. Cartlon notice him “What’s wrong, you’re always the cheerful type.” he said, Naruto didn’t answered. A couple of hours passed by, Cartlon was still wide awake, Sakura was still awake to but Naruto fell asleep in the back. Cartlon finally sawed that the road changes to dirt to asphalt. They reach a sign that said:

CN City - 1000 miles.

Cartlon signed as they drove in the direction of the sign. Cartlon noticed something on the road, there was two figures on the road, one was short it was a young boy, smaller than him, he had yellow like Naruto’s, he wore a red shirt that had black strips, he wore black pants, the figure next to him was taller, it was a tiger that was walking up right. He looked like a original tiger, except that he was walking up right like a human. Cartlon stopped the Hummer, he rolled down the windows. “hey! Do you need a ride.” the kid looked at him and said “we need to get a guy name Cartlon, did you see him around here.” Cartlon then said “well, he’s me.” he said as Calvin said “oh.” then they got in the ride. Soon enough Calvin, Hobbes and Naruto were sitting in the back.

“Hey.” said Calvin. “You guys want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?” then Calvin yelled “EHHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHH!!” Sakura then yelled “GUYS! GUYS! GUYS!” Calvin and Hobbes sat there while Naruto was between them. “you know what?” said Calvin, “I feel like singing, Hobbes.” Hobbes then said “Ready?” then they sang:

Calvin: Mock-

Hobbes: -Yeah!

Calvin: -ing!

Hobbes: Yeah!

Calvin: Bird!

Hobbes: Yeah!

Both: Mockingbird, did everyone have you heard, she going to buy me a mockingbird. And if that mocking bird don’t sing. She going to buy me a diamond ring.
Sakura was about to pull her kunai at them but decided not too. Cartlon was dancing to the beat, and soon enough Naruto join them. They sang the song during the rest of the trip.
