Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Transformers: Prime, but wouldn't it be awesome if I did.

What's up guys, I know it's been a long time since I posted/updated anything and I know alot of you have been wanting a new chapter of Naruto: The Duelist of the Tailed-Beasts. I just kinda lost my drive on it, but I promise I'll find it again and eventually (hopefully soon) update it and finish the story. I have some really good ideas (in my opinion) for both of my stories.
Please forgive me if this story isn't up to snuff, I'm a bit out of practice in writing but I just need time to get back into the swing of things and get back my mojo.

So without further ado: ENJOY!

Chapter 1: Something Big and Awesome
_

It had always been fun for Naruto to take walks outside and in nature, even if he was a technology genius at the young age of twelve and loved to stay inside and work on electronics it was always nice to just go out for a walk and just see where his feet took him. He and his mom had just moved into a new house in Jasper, Nevada- the middle of freakin' nowhere- for his mom's job as an airforce pilot. She had been transferred to work under a man named WIlliam Fowler, a slightly overweight african-american man that had worked as an army ranger and now ran a new and secret department of the gov. Naruto didn't know what the department did considering it was a SECRET section of the gov., but he knew that his mom worked as a chauffeur for him; even if he thought it wasn't a very prestigious job for an Ace-Pilot like his mom she had told him that it was a very well paying job for a simple and easy one. So because of that he was able to accept her having a job, even if he thought it was a job she was overqualified for, plus it also allowed him to spend more time with the most important person in the world to him: his mother.

Anyways as he was walking along a trail in a deep canyon that Jasper was known for (along with it's multitude of mesas), he was geared up in some plain jeans, brown hiking boots, a jacket, and his backpack with some snacks, water, and his laptop that he took with him everywhere. He was walking along trying to find a good place to take a break when he felt a pull inside of him calling him to follow its call. He looked down and saw that his hands were glowing a bright blue, he pulled out his phone and looked at it and that his eyes were glowing blue as well- with the power that had ran in his family for over a hundred generation- Energon! He decided that he would let this feeling guide him to whatever it is that was calling to him, letting it pull and guide him to whatever wanted him to find it and maybe help it if need be.

He didn't know how long or far he walked all he knew was that he was going to let this feeling guide him. Letting the feeling pull and guide him he just walked and made sure that once the feeling had finished with him he could find his way back. Eventually he came to the bottom of the canyon and saw a giant metal tomb if he had to guess. It was huge easily bigger than any house that was in Jasper. It looked like it had overlapping pieces of metal in sharp designs and it all centered around one symbol. It looked like a neutral face that was made up of bars and lines, it looked humanoid in a way but Naruto knew better. He had seen that symbol for as long as he could remember, this and another one that in contrast was sharp and menacing whereas this one seemed to be the symbol of a stoic protector. It was one of the symbols that had been passed down for generations in his family, and had to do with the origins of the abilities that his family had with energon.

He looked up at the giant tomb and he could tell that this was where the pulling sensation that he was feeling was coming from. He couldn't tell what it wanted with him, but he had a feeling that he would soon find out. He walked up to the giant tomb and reached out and placed his hand on it and waited for something to happen. At first nothing did… and then still nothing happened. After five minutes of standing there with his hand on the tomb Naruto decided to take a step back and think, as soon as he had gotten there the pull had lessened and gave him back full command of his body. And with this the energon in his body had calmed and gone back into its slumber until called upon by its wielder. So with that thought wouldn't it be possible that he needed the energon active to open the tomb.

So that is exactly what he did, he called upon the massive reservoir of raw energy within him. And with that he started to glow blue with the power, not just his hands and eyes this time, no his entire body was enveloped in a blue flame like aura that radiated about half a foot off of him.

With the power that had run in his family's bloodline for generation Naruto walked back up to the tomb and placed his hand on it, this time there was a much different reaction. The sharp metal plates started to retract into themselves starting at where his hand had been and retracting into the walls of the tomb making a giant doorway for. The opening into the tomb was about fifteen feet tall obviously meant for something much larger than Naruto or any possible human current or ancient could possibly be. When the doorway had finished opening Naruto walked inside the dark cavern like tomb to see why he was pulled to this place. As soon as he walked in he saw it, the reason that he had been called to this tomb that was obviously millions of years old and yet millennium more advanced than anything that had been or could be made on earth. It was a giant metal figure that was humanoid in appearance and was colored primarily blue, it had giant jets on its back and sharp small wings below that. Its face was a yellowish-orange color and he it just had an overall appearance as if it was built ready to take on anything. (For a better idea of what it looks like look up either Nominus Prime, or look at the profile picture for this story). The metal giant was lying on a giant metal slab that was raised about ten feet off the ground, and Naruto being the 5' even twelve year old that he was, he kinda couldn't reach -_- . But being the total badass that he was and a very active twelve year old along with being a technological genius he could climb up to the top of the metal platform where the metal giant was. With that Naruto took a few steps back to get a running start and then took off. As soon as he was about six inches from the platform he jumped and grabbed onto the metal plates, he was lucky that the metal plates that made up the entire tomb weren't bladed and only had sharp shapes. Naruto looked down and saw that he had jumped up about two and a half feet (a new personal best) and with that he started to climb up the platform. It took him about fifteen minutes to reach the top and at the seven minute mark his arms were starting to burn and shake, so the last eight minutes weren't very pleasant. After he reached the top Naruto just flopped onto the ground and laid on his back panting and trying to rid of the jelly feeling in his arms.

After he finally stopped panting and his arms weren't as bad as they were he sat up and got to his feet to look at the giant up close and in detail. He had to admit he already knew that the giant was a marvel of science and technology but this thing up close and being able to look at it in detail just… WHOA, that's all whoa. The locking mechanisms on the giant suggested that it could change its shape but also allow it to stand up to some unbelievably strong hits while in its humanoid form and still be limber and able to dodge hits quickly and then change its form in an instant to whatever its other form could be. The very idea of what the giant could do was staggering especially if someone that didn't have good intentions got their hands on it and took advantage of the technology the robot had at its disposal just by existing, never mind if it was operational. He had heard some mutterings on some online platforms that there was a group known as M.E.C.H. out there stealing advanced technology for their own ends whatever they may be, and Naruto had a feeling that they weren't good.

Anyway the robot looked to be in semi decent condition just without any life inside of it like its tomb, bodily design, and the weapons on it suggested. With that Naruto walked over to its head and started to look for an access point so that he could plug in his laptop into it and see what had happened to it. He eventually found an access point into its head and after finally prying it open with a stray piece of metal that was on the same platform the robot was he looked inside and tried to find a plugin. It wasn't hard to find multiple points into its memory core but they all looked weird and probably wouldn't connect with his computer. He decided to try something that he had only heard in legends that his ancestors were said to be able to do and his mom was able to do to a smaller extent- create solid constructs out of the energon in his body. His ancestors were said to wield glowing blue weapons that could cut through almost anything, his mom could do it as well but she mostly focused on using the ability to save money on buying knives for cooking and pots and pans. And the occasional multitude of chains whenever Naruto did something really stupid, and he tried to get away from his mother's horrible unbelievably painful punishments.

So Naruto crawled into the robots head and studied the access point inside its head, after finally thinking that he had a decent idea of the shape of the access point he called upon his energon. He focused on the shape inside of his head of the shape of the access point and a cord to connect it to his computer. He didn't know how long he sat there but it felt like a while, all he did was focus… focus on the shape of the access point and then he felt it. A weight in his hands that he could feel was made up of the energon inside of him, he felt it get a little bit heavier and longer until eventually it stopped. Naruto opened his eyes and looked down into his hands and saw a glowing blue cord with the correct shape to fit into the robot's access point and a USB connector on the other end. He couldn't believe it he had done it, he had created an energon construct at the age of twelve when it had taken his mother being sixteen for her to be able to do it and she was hailed as a prodigy within their family!

He continued to look at the construct until he finally remembered the reason he created the construct in the first place came crashing back to him. He took the end that could plug into the robot and pushed it into the access point and felt it slide right into place and stay in there snugly, he then took the end that could connect into his computer's USB port and plugged that in. He flipped open his computer and looked at the image on the screen that had come up as soon as he opened it, it started playing images in rapid succession. Naruto could make out most of them and it seemed as if the robot used to be extremely important, but then he saw something that ruined the image of this robot being an honorable and benevolent ruler: he saw that the reason he was the leader of his race was because of a thing that they kept referring to as The Matrix but then Naruto saw an image where it showed that the robot had forged the matrix himself for selfish reasons. To gain power, prestige, and oppress the lower class system of his planet. He lied to the people of his planet giving them false hope about them having a leader who was chosen by their ancient leaders and was a wise and fair leader. He took all the beliefs that the people of his planet put in him and completely shattered them and their hope.

It was then Naruto decided that he would rebuild this robot, but he would not restore the spark of life that had once been inside of it. He may not be god, but in this case it would be best if the life that had once been inside of it was not brought back. Naruto knew though that the body could and would be needed to be brought back into working condition but the mind must be left in the void of the afterlife. So with that decided he got up and started get to work seeing what needed to be replaced and repaired, it was time to get to work!

Hey everyone hope you liked the chapter, it's my first one in a while but I've got a good feeling about this one. I'm gonna try and keep up to date on it and not go into writers block like I did with my Naruto x Yugioh story.

I hope that you enjoyed the chapter and look forward to the next one!

Peace!
