Nation of Bialya Sept 4 00:18
On a cold summer night in a desert of unknown origin to her M'gann M'orzz of Mars froze with fright as she couldn't look away at the sight before her.
Moments ago the young Martian had woken up from a rather nasty headache. With no idea how she got here she realized that she was not on her native home world but the world she pinned for so long to visit, the planet earth.
But quarry on how she arrived on the planet was put on hold as she locked eyes with another soul who was wandering the desert. A young human looking boy with dark hair wearing a black shirt bearing a highly recognizable red sigil on his chest had jumped from out of the sky and landed with an earth shattering thump as he started to seethe at M'gann.
"W…wait." The young Martian said slowly "I've seen that symbol." Pointing at the young man's chest she asked. "Are you Superman?"
That triggered something in the young man's mind as he looked down angrily at his chest before ripping his shirt apart. Looking back at M'gann the boy let out another roar as he jumped back into the air with his hands held out intending on tackling her down.
But he never got a chance, just as M'gann leap out of the way someone had stopped the young man from advancing on her by landing right where she was once sitting. Like a flash of lighting another humanoid appeared out of nowhere stopping the dark haired boy in his tracks via a well-placed head butt.
The new comer was different from the first, he was covered in a golden light that radiated from his jacket, hair, and open toed boots. He had on some sort of black body suit that covered his whole body up to his knuckles, neck, and feet.
The boy who M'gann thought might hold some sort of connection to the last son of Krypton back peddled as he gripped his forehead with both hands.
The glowing boy did the same only making his cries more vocal. "Son of a bitch, that fucking hurt!" he screamed as he glided over towards M'gann while facing her attacker. The young Martian panned her head back and forth between the two boys in confusion.
With the dark haired one she saw him stumble while rubbing his forehead as he grunted and screamed out incoherently with pain. With the golden one she saw that after rocking his head he seemed to have shaken off the pain. "Ah hey green girl!"
M'gann turned towards her golden protector as he had addressed her. "Did that jerk leave a mark on my head band?" he used his thumb to point towards the metal plant that was secured on his head by a cloth wrapped around his forehead that fluttered in the wind. Also see him up closer the daughter of mars saw that the golden boy had cross shaped pulps with yellow orange iris and three black rectangles running down each of his cheeks.
"No…" she said slowly not taking her eyes off his headband that had a symbol of a spiral carved into it. "It doesn't seem to have sustained damage."
The golden boy dropped his frown and picked up a smile as he closed his eyes and laughed. "That's a relief."
"Raaaa!"
M'gann gasped as she saw that the dark haired boy had shaken off his injury as well as he tried to tackle the golden boy down. "Look out!" the Martian warned as she held out her hands and created a psychic barrier that pushed the dark haired boy back to the ground.
The golden boy didn't look towards his would be attacker but at M'gann "What was that?" he asked as he placed the space between his right thumb and index finder under his chin in inquire. "Some sort of gravity attack?"
"No it was telekinesis." M'gann didn't need her telepathy to know that answer flew over the golden boy's head; his blank stare said it all. "I mean I created an invisible force with my mind and used it to tackle that other boy…..oh no he's coming back!" the red haired girl pointed at the angry boy as he let out another outcry and charged at them again.
"I got it." The gold boy said calmly as he manifested a giant glowing clawed arm that expanded out of his glowing jacket and caught the angry boy around the waist. The angry young man tried to use his own strength to pry the giant hand open but before he could the giant arm flung the angry boy out of its grip and threw him into the distance.
"What was that guy's problem?" the golden boy asked as the giant arm shrunk and slung back into his coat. "It was like he was made out of anger and malice."
"I…I don't know." M'gann said as she marveled at the golden boys counter attack. "Are you one of Earth's heroes? Are you a member of my uncle J'onn's Justice League?"
"Uh no, I don't know anybody named J'onn and I'm not in any league. I'm not exactly from around here."
"And by here do you mean this planet?" M'gann asked knowing that if it looked human and had powers chances were it wasn't necessarily human.
The glowing boy looked a bit surprised as he touched his feet to the ground and scooped up a handful of sand. He let the grains trickled down his fist one by one. "I think so the natural energies in this world are like nothing like the ones back home." As he let all the sand fall out of his hand he wiped the rest off on his pants and said. "If you asked me a day ago if other worlds or aliens existed I would have said you'd been reading too many comic books."
"I kind of know what that's like I'm not from this planet ether." M'gann said not wanting to alarm the other alien in case they ran into any human's and he questioned why they didn't look like her. "I'm from the planet Mars."
"Is it like this place?" the golden boy as he looked out into the desert landscape that stretched out for miles on end.
"Not exactly you see the landscape of my entire planet is a harsh wasteland we Martians live in caves that rest under the surface." M'gann explained as she too looked at the desert in envy.
"So you're like a mole person or something?"
M'gann immediately narrowed her eyes and placed her hands at her hips "I'm not a mole person." She said sternly. "I'm a Martian!"
The golden boy smiled nervously back at her and scratched the back of his head. "S..sorry sometimes I kind of say things without thinking I didn't mean to call you that."
M'gann giggled and relaxed a bit. "It's all right you know I can show you for yourself."
"Show me what?" the boy asked as he screeched his left cheek.
"My home, oh this is so existing I don't think I've ever used my telepathy on a non-Martian before."
"Wait your what?" before even waiting for a proper response in her excitement M'gann placed her finger tips on the sides of her head as her eyes started to glow in a blue green shade.
"What….are…" the golden boy placed his hands on his head when he felt M'gaan's psychic touch trying to leak inside of his head. "This…..feels…..like…..Genjutsu!" the boy clapped his hands together and yelled out "Kai!"
The boy released the energy in his body to ripple causing M'gann's telepathic waves to bounce back at her. The Martian unexpecting the feedback fell backwards as she heard her own psychic eco come back to here.
"What did you just do to…." M'gann looked at her hands and started to panic as they began to transform.
Her once lime green skin tone started to turn pale white as her fingers went from four and a thumb to two long clawed digits. Curling up into a ball she tried her hardest to stop her transformation but sensed she couldn't as she felt her abdomen begin to narrow, as membranes began to connect under her upper arm, and thick protective skin harden on her lower ones. Feeling her teeth and gums exposed tasting the dry air she cried knowing her true form had been exposed the form she never wanted anyone outside of Mars to see.
Any second now that boy would ridicule her. He'd sneer look away in disgust or even attack her this was a nightmare her worst fears come to light.
M'gann always wanted to come to earth but to be something she couldn't back on Mars, she wanted to be a hero she wanted to be looked at in awe and wonder not it…..
"Oh crap I'm sorry!"
…..wait what?
Lifting her head she saw that the glowing boy wasn't scared, angry or disgusted he looked embarrassed.
He was facing away from her but with his hand covering the side of his face to possibly bloke his vison. M'gann recognized this pose after watching Earth television broadcasts. She knew this was the stance when another character walked in on someone naked.
"I didn't mean for you to transform. I panicked and defended myself because I thought you were trapping me in an illusion or something. I didn't know you were a mind walker."
Slowly getting off the ground M'gann wrapped her hands around her chest as she slowly approached the boy. "You're…you're not afraid of me?"
The boy looked confused as he slowly lowered his hand and looked back at M'gann. "Why would I be afraid of you?"
"Because….I look like this!" she stretched out her arms to express her current state.
The boy looked at every inch of her his face turning a bit red as he looked away again as he still looked embarrassed. "My whole life people looked at me with anger and fear because I was different in the inside. I know it's not the same but I'd be just like those jerks who judged me before they got to know the real me if I looked at you any different."
"You don't think I look like a monster?"
The boy looked M'gann straight in the eyes his face holding a solemn expression. "I've seen and fought real monsters; a nice girl like you doesn't even come close to one." He broke out of the seriousness as he looked nervous again. "Ah you are a girl right?"
M'gann couldn't help but giggle again which in turn made her ah radical appearance more comical then it was. "What can't you tell?".
"Oh well it's just maybe you should put some clothes back on." He said looking away. "You're kind of naked."
M'gann immediately covered herself again and let out a small telepathic epp as she felt the power to shape shift return to her as she morphed to her green humanoid form complete with a black body suit and blue cape with cowl.
"So before you thought I was trying to place an illusion on you?"
Looking back at her the boy said. "Hey again sorry about that it's just before you gave out the same vibe like someone who was about to use a Genjutsu attack on me would I used a counter attack that should have just washed it out. I guess on you it bounced back and shorted out your transformation technique."
"I suppose it did." M'gann looked a bit confused. "You don't seem all that surprised at my abilities have you seen something like them before?"
"Yeah" the boy shrugged. "Back on my world we can transform too like Granny Tsunade she doesn't like looking like an old woman so she uses a transformation to make herself look a lot younger."
Whatever fears and turmoil M'gann had moments ago were replaced with excitement as her eyes lit up. "Are you saying that you're a shapeshifter too?"
The boy smiled as he placed his hands into a hand sign. In a puff of smoke the boy dissapeared and in his place was an exact duplicate of M'gann. "So how do I look?" he said giving a small twirl to show everything had changed.
"That's amazing!" the Martian said in delight. "Did you change all the way down to the genetic level or is it some sort of illusion that looks like me?"
M'gann's double stopped twirling as he scratched the top of his head while looking up in the sky. "Well it's not like I copied your blood and guts. So yeah it's like I used my chakra to form a shell around myself that looks like you." with a simple poof the boy turned back into himself. "It's called the Transformation Jutsu."
"That's still cool who knew that on my first trip to Earth I'd meet another alien with an ability similar to mine."
The boy scrunched his face a little and tilted his head to the side. "It's not an ability it's more like a technique." He paused as it looked like something clicked in his mind. "Earth, is that the name of this planet?" he asked.
"Yes but the funny thing is…" M'gann paused as she felt her head ache a little. "I have no idea how I came here."
"That's kind of like what happened to me." The boy said as he nodded along. "I was in another dimension about to seal away a deadly and powerful criminal from my home word when whoosh all of a sudden I found my self standing in some sort of bug temple not too far from here."
M'gann massaged her temples a bit and then pinched the bridge of her nose. "I don't think that was how I got here at least I don't think so I just woke up on that ridge before I tripped down her and ran into that…angry earthling."
"Well maybe if we look around we might find something that'll jog your memory and you can help me look for that creep Zetsu while we're at it."
"Zetsu?" M'gann asked.
"Yeah that's the name of the criminal I was talking about I was holding onto him when I whooshed here I think he might be some were close. I can't really sense him for some reason but maybe your mind powers can."
M'gann thought for a second before she levitated herself into the air. "Well if he's as dangerous as you say then yes of course I'll help."
The boy looked up and smiled as he to floated up towards her. "Great I didn't introduce myself before. My name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." Instead of a hand shake the glowing boy made a fist and held it out towards M'gann.
Having seen this sort of greeting before from her time watching Earth T.V. shows she held out her fist as well and connected it with Naruto's "It's nice to meet you Naruto I am M'gann M'orzz."
On the top of a way word cliff a young man a million miles away from home looked down at the barren valley below. Wearing his trademark orange and black jacket that was ripped open over a chain mail under shirt Naruto Uzumaki squinted his eyes at a small little cabin that sat in the heart of the valley.
Closing his eyes he tried to hold still expanding his ability to gather the strange planet's natural energies in order to increase his own powers. "I can't sense anything." he said to himself opening his eyes. "Ether nobody's home or there are people in there and they don't have any charka…because they're probably aliens."
Taking a couple steps back Naruto ran forward and jumped off the edge of the bluff and aimed his landing on the top of the small shake.
Docking on top of the structure without creating an impact or so much as a shift in vibrations thanks to the chakra pumping thought his feet creating a bumper Naruto crouched down in front of a hole on the roof and looked through it.
He saw two occupants in the room a boy and a girl around his age. The girl wore mask that covered her face except for her mouth and nose and had long blond hair that she tied in a ponytail She was wearing a selfless top that didn't cover her midriff that bore the symbol of an arrow on her chest. She also stylized a pair of combat pants and boots all syncing in harmony with the rest of her outfit in the same color, a dark forest green.
But because the boy was standing right under Naruto he couldn't really see his face but could make out that the boy had spiky red hair that stuck out of a black body suit that covered his whole body except for the top of his head.
But while Naruto was looking down at the boy in black he didn't see a projectile heading right up to him with intent of striking him in the throat. But while his eyes were busy Naruto's instincts were paying full attention allowing him to catch the flying object before it slit his neck.
Looking in his hand he saw that he caught an arrow, a strange arrow that didn't have an arrow head but some sort of black cylinder attached to it.
"Who are you!" the girl demanded at the ninja as she had another arrow pulled back on a bow that matched with her outfit.
The red headed boy spun around and looked up at Naruto showing that his outfit didn't cover his eyes and mouth like the girls, he also had a red lightning bolt symbol on his chest and a pair of red goggles resting on his forehead. "Wow you really do know how to use that thing." The boy said to the girl.
"Hey I asked you a question, whiskers!" the girl with a serious look on her face shouted pulling her bowstring even further back. "Or do you want me to repeat myself."
Naruto just looked back and forth between the two dwellers in the shack as he leaded his head letting out a sigh. "Ah man I was kind of hoping you'd look more interesting but you guys look completely normal."
That statement just made the archer more confused than angry as she lowered her bow. "Excuse me?"
"Come you guys are aliens you should look weirder, hell Grandpa Six Paths had horns and purple skin and he was only half alien!"
The girl shook her head in disbelief and turned towards the red haired boy. "Do you have any idea what he's talking about?"
The red head thought for a second before his eyes widened in realization. "Are….are you an alien?" he asked Naruto.
"I guess." The ninja shrugged. "Well to the people of this world I am."
"Cool." The boy looked back at the girl. "He's just like Superman or J'onn J'onzz."
The girl looked back at the boy skeptically. "Not necessary." She looked back at Naruto and nodded at him "What planet are you from?" the girl asked.
"…..I don't know." Naruto said lowly and slung his head.
"You don't know?" the red haired boy asked with his arms crossed.
"Yeah I don't know ok." Naruto raised his head and scratched the side of his cheek with the archer girl's arrow. "I never really paid attention in geography class, or math class, or in a lot of other classes. So I never got around learning that much about the countries next to mine let alone if my people even named our world."
The girl looked a little bit guilty at making the shinobi remember his less then stellar academic record only to realize she was getting side tracked from her first question. Re-aiming her bow at Naruto she shouted. "Don't try and distract me who are you, alien boy!"
Naruto twirled the arrow in his hands and said. "You know if you want to know who someone is you should introduce yourself first."
The girl just narrowed her eyes but the red haired boy tried to interject by gently lowering her bow. "Hey let's try to keep it civil here. Ok introductions I'm Kid Flash and this isssssss." He leaned forward towards the girl while gently nudging her lightly with his elbow.
The girl actually smiled and laughed at the red head as she lowered her weapon. "Call me Artemis."
"Artemis huh that's cool goes with the whole archer theme you got going on. I kind of had my money on your name being Arrowette." Kid Flash said with a grin.
Artemis just smiled and poked him lightly in the shoulder. "Well I guess you just lost a bet then, hero boy." She then looked back at Naruto and nodded towards him. "And you are?"
Naruto didn't answer as his face puffed up as he tried to laugh out loud.
Artemis blushed lightly as she lightly moved Kid Flash away from herself and took a step forward. "What are you grinning about?"
Naruto tried to calm himself down by letting out a few giggles. "Artemis and Kid Flash" he snickered while pointing at each person. "You guys might look normal but you have weird names!"
"Oh yeah then what's your name then if it's soooo normal." Artemis asked half sarcastically.
"I'm Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki."
Kid Flash leaned back over to Artemis and whispered in her ear. "And he thinks our names are weird. What kind of name is Nar-u-to?"
Artemis looked at Kid Flash and replied. "It's Japanese I think Naruto is a kind of cured fish paste or something."
Kid Flash took a step back and stroked his chin a little bit. "An alien with a Japanese name, that's not the most outrageous thing I've heard I mean it's a big universe statistical it's possible that some galactic cultures would be close to or the same as others." And then like a light bulb went off in his head the red head smiled slyly as he looked back up towards said alien. "Wait so you were named after a fish paste."
Naruto didn't seem bothered or miffed at Kid's remark he just shrugged. "Technically my parents named me after character in a book but the author was eating a bowl of ramen when he came up with the name. But whatever if I'm going to be named after a food at least it's a tasty one. I think the universe would really be out to get me if it named me Sprouts." The ninja ended his statement by sticking his tongue out and making a gagging sound.
That actually got Artemis to laugh lightly again as she softened up. "What about Turnip?"
Kid Flash and Naruto laughed louder than Artemis as Kid suggested one. "Wait, wait how about...do you hear that!?"
The laugher died down as Naruto started looking around hearing a whistling noise coming from somewhere in the sky. Shielding is eyes the ninja saw some sort of barrel shaped projectile heading straight for him and the two aliens still inside the shanty.
Thinking on his feet Naruto channeled his chakra into the arrow still in his hand and applied it with some wind flavor. Aiming the arrow like a spear Naruto threw the weapon as hard as he could as it pierced the sky and intercepted the projectile.
Unfortunately when the second the arrow collided with the unknown projectile it created an explosion that took Naruto by surprise as the backdraft blew him off the roof.
After looking up from the hole in the roof to see what happened Kid Flash quickly grabbed Artemis by the arm and ran out of the shack to get better cover in case of a repeat attack.
Sometimes the world felt like it was standing still at least through the eyes of a speedster it did. To Kid Flash this was no exception.
Since the day he recreated the experiment that gave the Flash is powers Kid started to see the world in a standstill and used it to his advantage.
Like right now for instance. Kid Flash was able to grab Artemis by the hand as he made his way through the curtain door of the cabin all in the span of half a second, once outside he was already formulating a plan.
Step one save Naruto the Alien before he fell off the roof, step two get Artemis, himself and Naruto to a safe distance from whatever shoot that missile and finally step three come up with a strategy to stop whatever it was shooting at them, while figuring out why the heck he was in the middle of no were in the first place all in the span of ten seconds.
Yeah it really pays being the fastest…the second fastest wait he forgot about Jay ok third fas…no wait there was that charity race Uncle Barry and Superman had a few years ago…ok fourth yes fourth it paid to be the fourth fastest man alive!
At least that's what was supposed to be true once Kid Flash was outside the world stopped as he moved like he was in slow motion. Turning his head in hopes to catch or intersect Naruto in order to save the alien from a nasty fall he saw that Naruto was already on the ground running towards him at the same speed!
No faster as Naruto got closer Kid Flash saw a golden aura blanket the orange clad space man as he grabbed and lifted Kid up in the air and placed him on his shoulders in a fireman's carry. The speedster was helpless in his demand to be put down as he realized his words must be traveling slower to Naruto as he watched Naruto place his arm around Artemis' waist and pull her in close.
Naruto then jumped into the air as the aura around him died and the world started to speed up again as both Naruto and Kid slowed down enough for it to catch up, just in time too as another missile was shot at their coordinate's causing an explosion of the shanty as they were in midair.
Naruto landed on top of a ridge as he lifted Kid off his shoulders with one arm while gently releasing Artemis with his other.
Kid Flash didn't like the look of things not from whatever it was that tried to kill them but more on the way Artemis was looking back at Naruto with wonder in her eyes.
"What happened to your eyes?" Artemis asked Naruto. "Your pupils changed shape and your iris are a different color!"
When Naruto turned his head to look down the cliff Kid Flash saw that the alien's once blue eyes and circle shaped pupils changed into a pair of golden colored eyes with plus sign shaped pupils if anything he looked more like an extraterrestrial then before.
"It's nothing." Naruto said waving Artemis off as he didn't stop looking down. "I'm just getting serious, but can you two tell me what those things are."
Kid Flash looked down the cliff to see a military Humvee with a mounted machine gun rolling it's way over the cabin they were just in followed by two tanks all looking like some sort of malevolent convoy.
Trying to get the element of surprise Artemis pulled out an arrow and aimed her bow at the Humvee, only to get stopped by Kid. "Sorry Beautiful but they got bigger arrows all you'd be doing is giving away our position."
"Hey, what are those things?" Naruto asked again while still wanting to know what he was facing.
"There're called tanks vehicle designed not only to carry soldiers but also equipped with weapons that can do serous damage to us fragile speedsters." He added the last part in the get a read on how Naruto would react not knowing if the aliens speed was enhanced or standard in his species.
Instead of looking worried or confused Naruto just looked a bit disappointed. "So they're people in those things huh I guess I'll just do this the hard way."
"Do what the ha…" before Kid could finish asking his question he saw that Naruto had clapped his hands together engulfing himself in a golden light. A second latter it died down to revel that Naruto was wearing a completely different outfit, a black body suit with a golden glowing jacket and pair of shoes and headband to go with it.
Holding out his hands the sleeves of Naruto's jacket shot out and grew transforming into a pair of giant clawed hands that starched out down below until the colossal hand paws grabbed one of the tanks in the convoy trying to break it apart like a candy bar.
Kid Flash lowered the red googles he wore on his forehead and placed them over his eyes as he zoomed in seeing the soldiers escaping the tank just as the machine was completely ripped apart and set on fire.
"Keep smashing those tanks glow worm I'll take care of the soldiers!" Kid Flash yelled as he kicked it into high gear and ran down the side of the cliff.
Once he touched down back in the valley Kid ran around the broken tank knocking out every solider that ran away from the wreckage.
Just as he punched the last straggler stuck on one of the ragged pieces of scrap he saw the other tank aiming its cannon right at him. Before he could perform any advance evasive maneuvers he saw one of Naruto's giant glowing hands making a fist and squishing the tank before it could even fire a shell. Not letting up once Naruto lifted the hand Kid ran under the squashed vessel and took out ever solider that tried to escape through the tap door hatch.
Once he got clear he saw the last remaining member of the convoy, the Humvee driving away from him and the valley as it was probably heading back to home base or something. Just as Kid was about to intersect it the giant truck was struck by an explosion making it flip in the air and land on the roof.
Turning back to where Naruto and Artemis were Kid Flash zoomed his googles in to see that the lovely archer had just fired an arrow at the Humvee while Naruto was standing right behind her with his real arms around Artemis' as they were gazing deeply into each other's eyes…..again.
Three seconds later Kid was back on top of the ledge standing right next to the two blonds.
"Hey it's nice to see you two getting along." Kid said sarcastically running right between them, breaking their close contact from each another. But even that didn't really stop Naruto and Artemis from smiling at one another.
"He's not so bad once you get use to him." Artemis replied as she folded her bow and equipped back onto her quiver.
"And she's really good with that bow." Naruto said back. "She just needed a little more fire power."
"I have a feeling you have all the fire power I'll ever need." Artemis winked.
Kid said nothing he just placed his googles back on top of his head as he ran behind Artemis and picked her up carrying the archer in his arms.
"What are you….." before Artemis could voice her complaints Kid cut her off vocally.
"We have to keep moving there might be more tanks out there and you can't keep up with us on foot." Before waiting for a reply Kid took off in the opposite direction that the tanks came from was he ran alongside the cliffs until they slowly dipped down and touched back at normal elevation.
Not to his surprise Naruto managed to catch up with them as he ran alongside Kid Flash and Artemis.
"Good thinking Kid Flash." Naruto yelled over the sound of their speeds. "Hey now that we got a minute have any of you seen a black blobby guy with yellow eyes and really sharp teeth any were around here?"
Sailing over the desert landscape M'gann and Naruto flew together at a proportional pace. M'gann with her telepathy was levitating in the air like a kite in the wind. Naruto still donning his glowing coat was surfing on top of a flat black disk that was perfect in circumference.
"Damn it I still can't sense him." Naruto swore while he was multitasking by observing the area with his eyes and trying to get a reading on Zetsu's chakra. "He's the only other thing on this plant that uses charka besides me this shouldn't be that hard unless…." Naruto panned over towards M'gann in hopes that his new friend would egg him on to continue.
But alas the semi amnesiac girl was letting her head sail a little too high among the clouds so to speak as she was more focused at marveling the sights rather then helping Naruto find his enemy telepathically.
"Ahhhhh M'gann?"
The Martian native expression turned from excitement to embarrassment as she saw the inquisitive look Naruto was giving her. "Oh I'm sorry I was just…..Well I still can't believe I'm on Earth!" she shouted enthusiastically.
"I wanted to come here for so long….." she paused momentary while looking down as they passed a few dried out trees. "Even if it's not exactly like the T.V. signals that I've seen from my home world."
"Really what kind of shows do they have here…..wait a second we're getting off track." Naruto stopped the black disk he was riding on in midair. M'gann saw that he stopped and flew over towards him. "I know how I ended up here someone or something ether used a Teleportation Justu or a Summoning Array to bring me to this world but we should find out how you got here."
M'gann nodded as she pointed over were a few barren trees were clinging to live in the harsh environment. The two of them flew over towards the trees as M'gann entering a lotus meditation position while still levitating.
"I'm going to concentrate to reconnect my memories." The Martian closed her eyes as she muttered out loud. "Concentrate….remember." she suddenly opened her eyes revealing them to be glowing in white light.
"Wow I wonder if that happens to me when I go into Sage Mode?" Naruto said out loud as he sat down on his black disk and patiently waited for his new companion to regain her lost memories.
After about a minute Naruto's patience ran dry as he could sit still any longer. So he leaned forward and tried to get M'gann's attention. "Hey are you fixed get, M'gaan?" the shinobi waved his hands in front of the meditating young woman. Still Unresponsive to his whining Naruto shifted his feet so he was squatting down on the black disk as he tilted the flying object to get in closer towards M'gann.
Naruto's face was only an inch apart from the Martians as he took the time to examine the girl up close noticing the freckles on her cheeks, the controlled breath going in and out from her nostrils, how soft her lips looked. Hastily Naruto used the hand he was waving in front of M'gann eyes and reluctantly tried to keep himself from caressing her face…because that would be creepy, really creepy.
"I remember know!" M'gann cried out in joy catching Naruto by surprise and causing him to fall off his disk and on the ground. "I'm on a team!" she continued to gush out not really noticing why Naruto was on the ground but floated over to him and help the ninja on his feet.
Taking his hand to get him back up her hand snaked up Naruto's arm as she tighten her grip on Naruto. "I have friends and that Earthling who attacked us earlier that was Superboy who might be…." She trailed off as the ninja noticed that the green girl's cheeks blushed a little as she realized what she was saying was out loud. "I need to find him…I mean them!"
M'gann suddenly let go of Naruto's arm as she started to look guilty. "But you also need my help finding this Zetsu criminal."
"That's not your responsibility M'gann, Zetsu's my problem." Placing his hand on her shoulder he looked her in the eye and said. "I get how important finding your friends is so you go search for them. If anything you should warn them about Zetsu he can bend his body to cover a person and control them. So you should avoid touching him and stick to long range attacks or mind techniques."
M'gann bowed slightly in gratitude. "Thank you Naruto I will but see the thing is my teammates…. I haven't really." M'gann looked worried as she nervously looked over to the side. "They don't know about me, what I really look like…"
"…..And in case I run into any of them you don't want me to mention it."
M'gann held her hands together and pleaded. "Please" she whispered lowly.
Naruto silently held out his hand and formed it into a fist like he did when he introduced himself. "M'gann two things you should know about me is that I don't run away from anything and I never go back on my word. I promise I won't tell anyone your secret."
The resolve in Naruto's eyes plus the empathic aura of confidence and sincerity radiating off of him convinced M'gann of his resolve. "Thank you, Naruto." And just like before M'gann bumped her fist again.
"No problem, but if you run into your boyfriend first tell him the next time he goes all crazy like he did last time I'm kicking his ass all the way to the this planet's moon…..if this planet has a moon."
"S…superboy isn't my boyfriend!" M'gann yelled defensively.
"Oh" Naruto put on an obnoxious smile "Then why are you blushing." He said in an almost singalong voice.
M'gann said nothing as she placed her hood over her head in embarrassment and started to fly into sky.
Naruto continued to chuckle before he put his serious face back on. "I hope M'gann and her friends don't run into Zetsu before I do." The shinobi got back up and pressed on his truth seeking ball that was still shaped like a disk as he continued to comb the desert solo.
On another part of the dessert Naruto, Kid Flash, and Artemis were racing across the land trying to get a bit of distance away from the remains of the convoy that attacked them from before.
Kid Flash who was still carrying Artemis in his arms slowed down and set his passenger down. Naruto stopped as well letting the speedster catch his breath.
"Sorry, I'm running on empty." Kid apologized while he had his hands on his knees. Getting up he unlocked a storage unit on his wrist only to find it empty. "I must have been out here for at least twenty four hours otherwise my cupboard wouldn't be empty.
Looking at his hands Naruto debated on rather or not to try and transfer his charka over to the red head. But without a chakra network to transfer to the shinobi thought it be safer if he didn't at least until he understood his new alien friends better. "I know how you feel before I got transported to your planet I spent the last day and a half fighting in a war."
Both Artemis and Kid's eyes widened at that revelation. "Wow seriously?" Artemis asked.
"Yeah." Naruto nodded his face void of humor. "Truth be told if I didn't die and got brought back to life a couple of hours ago I wouldn't have gotten a second wind or even my new power up." He said looking down at his Six Path Mode.
Both Earthlings stared blankly at Naruto before staring blankly at each other until they both looked back to Naruto. "You died!" they both screamed in unison.
"Yeah, but I got over it." Naruto immediately perked his head up as he looked up and gasped. "Look out!" extending his arms the ninja created two chakra arms that grabbed Kid Flash on the left and Artemis on the right and pushed them away as a falling object landed on top of Naruto.
Artemis rolled to the ground and saw that once the dust cleared that the orange alien was holding up the fallen object by the boots, because the projectile was actually a teenage boy, a shirtless teenage boy with muscles.
The archer shock her head just in time to see Naruto throw the boy a ways from himself.
"Who is that?" Kid Flash asked as he zipped over to Artemis checking to see if she was all right.
"I don't know but he looks pissed off at Naruto for some reason."
It was at that moment the shirtless teenager who was growling at Naruto charged forward intending to take him out. Not backing down Naruto charged forward as well as the two opponents caught each other in a standstill with their hands interlocking with one another, using their proportionate strengths to overpower the other.
"Dude what did you do to get tall dark and snarling to get so angry with you?" Kid asked cupping his hands together to yell over towards the confronted ninja.
"I didn't do anything!" Naruto yelled while finding his opponent to be matching his chakra enhanced strength. "Maybe he just doesn't like aliens!"
Artemis nodded Kid to get his attention. "Come on Mr. Good guy we have to help him."
Kid Flash nodded as he ran over towards the dueling juggernauts and started to assault the shirtless monster with a series of rapid punches to his back and ribs. After a few seconds which amounted to at least a hundred punches Kid Flash immediately stopped and started shaking his hands like a cat trying to shake off water.
"Man, that stings!" Naruto's opponent broke his glaring contest with the ninja and started to give Kid the stink eye when he paned his head over towards the fly buzzing behind him. "Ahhhhh take that." Kid said weakly.
"Hey handsome!" a voice called out getting all three boys to look over towards the left to see Artemis aiming an arrow right at the shirtless wonder. "Say cheese!" the emerald girl let the arrow sore in the wind letting it collide right into the angry half naked teen's face. The arrow exploded when it made contact as it had been a smoke screen projectile.
Kid pivoted back not wanting to get covered in the dust only able to make out the sounds of grunting and psychical forced blows through the smoke.
A few seconds later the dust settled showing that Naruto had managed to end the stalemate somehow by placing his opponent in a headlock.
"Quick Naruto give him a wet willie!" Kid suggested getting a you got to be kidding me look from Artemis.
"What's a wet willie?" Naruto asked while he struggled to keep his grip on his opponent.
"It's were you lick your pinky finger and stick it in his ear." Artemis explained while rubbing the bridge of her nose.
"That's gross I'm not sticking my fingers in his dirty ear!" Looking down on the dark haired boy Naruto smiled wickedly. "Besides I have a better Idea."
Naruto quickly let go of the arm on the outer hold of the shirtless boy's head and raised it to the sky while he called out his attack. "Sage Art!" a glowing blue sphere materialized in the palm of his hand before it started to have black tribal looking marks speared all over the orb.
"Magnet Release Rasengan!" Naruto rammed his attack on top of the dark haired boys head. But before his Justu was completed the shirtless wonder managed to shift his stance lifting Naruto up in the air right as he jumped into the sky with Naruto still holding his head.
Naruto broke away his hold and landed back on the ground right next to Kid Flash and Artemis. All three of them watched the wild boy yell out in anguish as he fell back down to the ground just as the same tribal marks from Naruto's attack spread over the left side of his face, chest, and arm making the last appendage just hang with no force behind it like it was asleep.
"What did you do to him?" Kid asked marveling at the fact that their attacker seemed to still be coming at them.
"I hit him with a sealing Justu. He shook me off before I could complete it but it'll at least slow him down." Naruto explained.
"Wait Jutsu like Ninjustsu?" Artemis asked with a raised eye brow.
"Oh you know about Ninjustsu then I guess this part won't be hard to explain I'm a ninja."
"Ok stop time out." Kid held out his hands like a T as he walked in front of Naruto. "Are you telling me that you're an alien ninja with superpowers?"
Naruto didn't really know what to say so he just shrugged. "Yeah but I don't really have powers their techniques."
"….That's pretty cool." Artemis stated breaking the silence just as an artillery shell landed right next to the three heroes and exploded.
Naruto managed to manifest a giant fox head made of the same glowing light as his jacket that protected himself, Artemis, and Kid Flash from the blast. But their half-naked attacker ended up getting the worst of the blast as he screamed out in pain.
Looking behind them the trio saw another onslaught of tanks slowly approaching them in the distance.
"I got an idea!" Naruto dissolved the fox head and created a long clawed hand that shot of his arm and wrapped it's self around the dark haired young man. Getting a good grip he then threw the boy over his head and over to where the tanks were.
Naruto watched on as his opponent got right up and started focusing all of his attention on the tanks ripping the barrels off of one getting shot at by the other and flying clear across the sky only to get back up super leap and attack the other.
"Amazing even with one arm basically tied around his back that guy's unstoppable." Naruto was impressed at the boy and his ferocity.
"Yeah but who's side is he on?" Artemis asked watching the boy treating the hostile solider with no remorse as he started throwing around the ordinary pilots of the tanks.
"I don't know but do you want to stick around and find out?" Kid asked his face showing that he wanted to high tail it out of the hostile area.
"I kind of do." That stamen alone earned him another series of look of bewilderment form both Artemis and Kid Flash. "What? I want to fight him for real to see who's stronger!"
"Ok let's put it to a vote." Kid said sounding atheistically sarcastic. "Who wants to stay and watch round two of Naruto and the crazy half naked guy wrestler each other?"
Surprisingly Artemis was the first one to raise her hand to that proposal getting a shocked reaction from the red head speedster. "All I heard was wresting and half naked."
Naruto suddenly scrunched up his face in disgust when he got what Artemis was getting at. "On second thought let's get out of here."
Not being told twice Kid Flash quickly grabbed Artemis and held her in his arms before talking off in a random direction following the same speed Naruto followed in pursuit.
As Naruto and Kid ran together down a dune, the speedster inadvertently tripped causing him and Artemis to tumble. Only after one roll on the ground they were both immediately caught by two giant glowing beast hands curtesy of Naruto who flashed them a smile and a thumb's up.
Once Naruto ran down the dune all three teens looked up just as two flying objects passed over them. "What are those things birds?" Naruto asked as he placed his real hand over his forehead to clear his vision.
"They look like drones!" Kid alerted as the two planes doubled backed and locked their sights on the trio.
"What's a dro…." But Naruto didn't get a chance to finish asking as the unmanned air crafts unleashed a rain of bullets upon the land.
Naruto jumped into the air avoiding the rain carrying his two new companions out of harm's way as well. Before plummeting back down to the ground the ninja channeled chakra to his legs creating two giant beast legs that reached all the way down to the earth bellow.
Standing on top of Naruto's open pawed glowing arm Artemis loaded an arrow and aimed for one of the aircrafts just they started to double back only to faint the last second making her miss her mark.
"Did you two just hear a girl talking in your heads?" Artemis asked panicking as she looked like was just possessed by a ghost.
"No but for the past few hours I've been hearing this faint whispering in my head every time I gather the natural energy on this planet. Like someone's trying to send me a message in my mind." Naruto admitted not talking his eyes off the drones. "It keeps saying over and over again seek the hand that pushes the dark back. Does that help?"
"Dude…" Kid sighed "You keep getting weirder and weirder every time you say or do anything."
Naruto scratched the back of his head and laughed nervously. "Yeah I actually get that a lot back in my world."
The sounds of an explosion got the ninja the archer and the speedster to look over to see that the two previous drones had flown into each other destroying both.
Naruto released his chakra legs down and slowly set Artemis and Kid to the ground as a strange girl with green skin, red hair wearing a black bodysuit with a blue cape and cowl descended towards them from the sky.
"Naruto!" M'gann called out as she touched the ground. "What are you doing here I thought you went off in the opposite direction."
"Wait I thought you didn't know who J'onn was?" Wally folded his arms as he started to grow a little suspicious. "By the way the new look don't really scream Manhunter."
"I don't understand Naruto I saw you just an hour ago how could you already forget me." M'gann began to wonder if whatever robbed her of her memories affect her fellow extraterrestrial friend.
"That can't be he's been with us for at least the past hour." Artemis stated to look at the new green girl cautiously.
"I guess you must have run into the real Naruto or another shadow clone."
"Shadow clone?" M'gann asked tilting her head in confusion.
"Yeah see when I got teleported or summoned to this world the real Naruto made copies of himself to roam the desert to see where we were while he took a look around the bug temple he landed in."
"Bug temple, what bug temple?" Kid Flash asked.
"It was a temple…and it had pictures of bugs decorated around it I don't think there's much else I can say to explain it. The real Naruto thought there might have been a sealing array somewhere in the cave."
Artemis threw her two cents in "I thought you said it was a temple."
"It was a temple inside of a cave that was decorated with bug pictures and carvings. But yeah whatever I still don't know who the green girl is." The shadow clone pointed directly at said emerald lady.
"I'm M'gann, M'gann M'orzz. J'onn J'onzz is my uncle and I know who the two of you are as well." She first pointed over towards Kid Flash. "You're Kid Flash, Wally." She then pointed over towards the archer. "And you're Artemis."
"Wait a minute Martian Manhunter is your uncle?" Kid asked still wrapping his head around everything. "Is that how you name."
Artemis smirked a little. "Your name's really Wally?" That caused the speedster to moan a little in disappointment at his real identity being reviled so easily.
But Naruto had on a sly smile as well "You shouldn't make fun of other people's names, Arty."
Artemis didn't lose the smirk on her face. "I'm sorry did you say something fish paste."
Naruto shrugged. "At least I'm delicious."
"Well you'll have to give me a taste to see for myself." The archer said almost sultry.
"It's ok were teammates….." M'gann began explaining to Wally momentarily pausing to give Naruto and Artemis a weird look having no idea what they were talking about. "…friends. I made you cookies." M'gann explained excitingly.
"Oh so you know her too?" Artemis asked Wally but not in the jealous your wife runs into a girl who you use to date but you just say it was just one dinner and it didn't mean anything way , but more of her stating a fact.
Kid Flash on the other hand was disappointed at the way Artemis asked if he knew M'gann so in a passive aggrieve solution he tried to make the archer jealous.
In a blink of an eye he was behind M'gann and had his arm around her shoulder. "Yeah I know her she makes me cookies all the time, soft moist delicious cookies that melt in your mouth the second you take a bite right out of it."
"Cookies aren't ice cream they don't melt in your mouth." Naruto said as he turned his head around towards Artemis. "Do homemade cookies melt?"
"I'm the wrong person to ask." Artemis deflected. "I wasn't really raised in a home that was into baking."
"You're lucky I wasn't raised in any kind of home." Naruto smiled back sadly which Artemis didn't miss.
M'gann sighed out loud as she politely shifted Wally's arm off her shoulders. "You both lost your memories too, well most of them." Kid's weird flirting was something that hadn't changed even if it was for a different reason.
Looking behind her the Martian could see a few tanks following a trail of black smoke. She was about to ask her fellow amnesiac friends to follower her only to hear Artemis yell out. "What do you mean you're leaving?!"
Turning around M'gann saw that Naruto had been in the middle of walking away while probably saying some sort of goodbye to Artemis.
"Wait a second Naruto!" M'gann flew past Kid Flash and then Artemis in order to land in front of the ninja. "Where are you going?"
"I mostly just hung around those two because of their memory loss." Naruto used his thumb to point behind himself over towards the two masked heroes. "If you can help regain their memories I should get back to what I was doing before I ran into them."
"Really?" Artemis said walking up to Naruto. "That was the only reason you stuck around?"
Scratching the back of his head nervously Naruto got real interested in his shoes as he had a hard time looking Artemis in the eyes. "Well you know not the only reason but still."
"You're trying to find that creature Zetsu aren't you?" M'gann asked.
"What's a Zetsu?" Kid looked back and forth between the Martian and the other alien. "Is that the black blobby monster you were asking if we saw?"
Naruto nodded at Kid Flash and then faced M'gann. "What do you know about him?"
"Not a lot the other you said that he is a dangerous criminal who has the power to cover himself on a living person and control their every action. And that you were about seal him away before he could hurt anyone else, but right when you were about to something brought you and most likely him here."
Naruto nodded confirming what his double said to be the truth. "Then you know that I can't stop looking. I don't want this world to have to clean up my mistake."
"Yes but that's what we do, me and the rest of the team." M'gann explained just as Artemis and Kid Flash walked over and stood by each side of the Martian. "We're heroes who stop dangerous criminals all the time from hurting innocent people. As soon as we find the rest of our friends we can help you look for Zetsu."
"I don't know" Naruto thought for a moment while he saw the looks of confidence coming from Wally, encouragement from Artemis, and look of trust from M'gann. "Alright I'll help you guys out first chances are Zetsu might have already had a run in with the other Naruto's and if not then we can probably all try to find him together."
M'gann smiled as she looked back at her teammates. "Then lets get moving I can fill you all in on a few things while we look for Robin and Superboy." The Martian took the lead as she walked ahead of the others as Artemis walked along ahead of Kid and Naruto.
"Robin's here too huh I wonder if any other sidekicks are a part of…." Wally paused as his head clicked that M'gann mentioned a name that he wasn't familiar with. . "Wait Super what now?" he asked no one in particular but got a repose from Naruto.
"Boy she said a Superboy was a part of your team…you don't think?"
Wally stared vacantly back at Naruto who mirrored the speedster's expression before they both replied "Nah." While shaking their heads in doubt.
The sun had set completely once again in the Bialya dessert as the temperature dropped dramatically from boiling hot to breezy cool. But for one unfortunate soul even with the change in climate the landscape was still too harsh for his physiology.
Kαλδυρ'αμ or known to his friends on the surface world as simply Kaldur weary opened his eyes as he heard the sound of metal clinging over and over again in some sort of melody. He felt the dry sting of his parched throat radiate in harmony with the pain he felt all over the rest of his body.
As the young Atlantean looked straight up in the starry sky he noticed something even stranger then walking up in the last place he should have been on the surface world, the stars were moving. Or more specially something was moving his body and he was just watching the stars going past himself. Gradually he turned his head over to the side to see some one walk alongside his moving body.
It was another teenager with spiky yellow hair wearing an orange and black jacket over a worn out chainmail undershirt. On top of his chainmail he had some sort of golden median around his neck that clanged against the under armor every time he took a step.
As he walked the stranger didn't stop turning his head in every direction, looking very vigilante as he walked parallel with Kaldur'ahm as if he was expecting an attack.
"Where…where am I?" Kaldur harshly gasped out nearly chocking on his own words.
"Oh finally I was hoping you'd wake up soon I've been dousing you with water every ten minutes to try and get you to come around!" The yellow haired stranger shouted atheistically as he held out his hand.
Kaldur watch on in awe as the orange clad teen managed to somehow materialize a sphere of water in his hands. "I….do not understand…are you a sorcerer?"
The boy held the ball of water close to Kaldur's face offering him to drink it. While the dried out Atlantean slowly drank the other teen answered his question.
"Sorcerer, like a magician? I didn't think guys like that were real only in stories."
As Kaldur swallowed the last of the water orb all in one huge gulp he panted letting the liquid circulate through him. "Something is different that did not taste like fresh or salt water."
"Yeah, sorry about that." The orange kid said as he crossed his arms and closed his eyes. "The water was made from my chakra so it's not as potent as the real deal. But it should be enough to sustain you for a little while longer."
"Thank you for your kindness. I cannot seem to recall how I am out here on the surface world or for what purpose. But if I continued to inhabit this desert tundra without getting rehydrated I fear I would not be able to survive that much longer."
The boy nodded and started walking again somehow causing the stretcher that Aqualad was floating on to walk along with him again. "Before you said that you were not a mage, but yet you were able to create a ball of water in a land with such dry air how is that possible."
"Oh that was just a Ninjutsu I know I'm not magic just a ninja!"
Kaldur stared back at the stranger in silence before saying. "I was not aware ninja's wore such colorful clothing."
"Really?" the stranger said. "I just ware whatever I want and orange is my favorite color so a lot of my mission clothes are like this."
Even though Kaldur thought the boy's statement wasn't very tactical he laid silently not wanting to contradict someone who apparently was recuing him.
Slowly lifting his head up Aqualad saw that the stretcher he was on was actually some sort of black disk that was levitating him in the air while it followed his savior along. "Something is very wrong here. Why am a wearing a uniform with a darker shade then usual?" Kaldur'ahm said having seen what he was wearing.
"I don't know?" the stranger said honestly while shrugging. "I thought with those sword handles sticking out of your back and that weird symbol on your belt you might be a ninja on this planet, but I'm guessing you're not otherwise you wouldn't have call my Water Release Rasengan a magic trick."
Laying his head back down Aqualad said. "You are correct my friend I am not a ninja I am…..wait a moment did you say on this planet."
"Oh yeah I guess I forgot to mention it I'm from another planet." He orange ninja alien pulled out a fist and pointed it closer to Kaldur. "I'm Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki."
Kaldur'ahm looked back in silence again before slowly raising his own fist. "I am Kaldur'ahm of Atlantis, it is good to meet you Naruto Uzumaki" with a quick fist bump Aqualad set his arm back down beside himself.
"You should take a rest in a few more minutes I'll dose you with water again to cool you off." Naruto said as his head continued to roam. "I'll get you to a doctor or a medic the second we get to a village."
"Thank you my friend." Kaldur said his graduate while slowly closing his eyes. "If we come across a village I can use a communication device alert to alert King Orin of my condition and location." Just as Kaldur'ahm was about to let sleep take over him in order to recover faster he immediately reopened his eyes as a revelation came to him.
"Naruto something has come to my attention that I would like to address."
"Okay sure, What do you want to talk about K…..Kal…Kaldurama…"
Aqualad sighed. "You may just call me Kaldur if it's easier for you."
"Oh thanks Kaldur! Ah what was your question?"
"It seems that in my wearily state that my mind automatically had me speaking in my native tongue, Atlantean."
"Okay so you were talking in your home language what's the big deal." Naruto shrugged.
"The deal is if what you say is true that you are from a different world how exactly have you been able to not only understand me but speak back to me in Atlantean."
Naruto responded instantly by letting out a giddy laughter as he held up the golden medallion around his neck. "Wow that uncle in the fancy suit was right I didn't even notice!"
"Notice what."
Naruto let the medallion go as it dangled back on his neck and continued to cling. "Well it started when I was looking around this bug temple."
"I think I see something up ahead, come on!" standing on top of a small hill Kid Flash was the first to make it over towards the area M'gann could sense Robin's location. With his red goggles over his eyes Kid zoomed in to see one of his fellow teen heroes taking on a squad of Bialyan soldiers by himself.
A moment later Artemis, M'gann, and Naruto made it over towards the speedster watching the Boy Wonder taking on the armed men.
"Enough open fire!" one of the solders commanded as the rest of his squad aimed their rifles on the masked hero.
Putting his goggles back on his forehead Wally decided to take led. "Ok we can't sit here waiting around we have to help…where's Naruto?"
Artemis and M'gann looked around noticing that their ninja friend was nowhere to be found. Until the sound of a high pitched scream got all three of them to look back down where Robin was, seeing that one of the soldiers in the firing squad had somehow ended up neck deep in the earth while the other soldiers pointed their rifles on the ground.
On the ground Robin the Boy Wonder stopped preforming back flips evasive back flips when he saw that the soldiers stopped shooting at him and started shooting around where one solider was planted on the ground.
Due to the fact that Baliyan wasn't offered as a second language course at Gotham Academy Robin didn't know exactly what the terrified soldiers were yelling but if he had to guess he's say it was something along the lines of "Kill it! Kill it!"
Not one to miss a golden opportunity Robin threw another barrage of customized batarangs that were shaped like red disk shurikens at the soldiers while he shouted out playfully. "Try walking without rhythm that way you won't attract the worm!"
Unfortunately the soldiers' immediately stopped firing at the ground and aimed their rifles at Robin once again. The Boy Wonder's batarang managed to throw the aim off of two soldiers but not the one who was standing right in front of Robin with a line of fire.
But right as Robin was going to do another back flip to avoid the bullets the world slowed down as the rounds met the halfway point to their intended target, something unexpected happened.
A teenage boy with spiky blond hair wearing an orange and black outfit bursted out of the earth like it was liquid and stood right in the path of the oncoming projectiles with two shinning silver colored objects twirling in his hands.
And once again the world sped up in fast forward in order to catch up as Robin saw that the teen in front of him move his arms around so fast all the masked hero could see was a black blur where his limbs where supposed to be. When the solider stopped firing his weapon so did the orange clad warrior stopped moving his arms as a cluster of bullets fell around the yellow haired boy's feet.
It was then another dark blur ran right past the same soliders, stripping them of their assault rifles even the ones who were attacked by Robin's batarangs.
In that moment of confusion the yellow haired teen leaped forward and took care of the rest. Using the silver objects in his hands the teen used them to swiftly slash across a defensive soldier's chest ripping the built proof jacket off the man.
With a swift round house kick the teen then ungauged another solider but having been prepared the Bialyan pulled out a combat knife that he used to strike at the teen. But it proved ineffective to the orange clad teen's weapons as he spun them around countering each strike off of himself self by using one of the silver weapons to slice the blade off the combat knife and the other to crash at the back of the soldier's neck knocking him out.
Coming across the last solider Robin ran over to get a closer look just in time to see the look of determination on the yellow haired teen as he calmly but quickly walked over to the last solider who pulled out his side arm, a black service pistol that he fired at the approaching teen.
Using one of the silver weapons to quickly deflect the bullets the boy instantly threw the other glittering sterling weapon at his attacker as it sailed straight across and into the barrel of the gun cutting through it and still have enough momentum to jab its self right into the solders bicep knocking him off his feet and to the ground.
Turning to his right side Robin saw another group of oncoming soldiers getting disarmed by the same dark blur as before right as it slowed down just in time to deliver haymakers to the enemies knocking them out. The blur turned out to be Kid Flash who was sporting a darker uniform then usual.
Getting a sense of danger lurking behind him Robin spun around with the intent on throwing some smoke bombs at the soldiers coming out behind him only for the two solders to get knock out backwards by an invisible force. Turning back around Robin saw a green skin girl floating in the sky having seconds ago becoming visible as she smiled and touched onto the ground.
One of the smarter of the soldiers knew when he was out matched and tried to high tall it out of there and back to the mobile H.Q. unit only to get stuck in the back by a bola that was hidden within an impact arrow.
With the entire brigade of Bialyan soldiers taken down Robin sighed in relief as he walked over towards Kid Flash with a high five. "Kid Flash!" he greet his fellow sidekick. "Man it's good to see a familiar face!"
"Hey Rob, memory loss?" Kid asked pretty sure his fellow hero was having the same troubles as the rest of them were.
"Six months! Let's hog tie these creeps and compare notes." Robin said as he pointed over towards all the knocked out soldiers.
"Sure but I think I should introduce you first." Kid pointed over towards the green skin girl first. "This is Miss Martian, Martian Manhunter's niece."
Kid then pointed over towards a blond haired girl wearing a green uniform. "The girl with the bow is the lovely emerald Artemis." Who playfully rolled her eyes at her introduction.
And then finally he pointed over towards the yellow haired boy wearing the orange and black outfit. "And that's Naruto he's…..not from around here."
Robin nodded as he waved at both Miss Martian and Artemis and then Naruto as he walked over last. "If she's related to J'onn I can take a wild guess where Miss M. is from but when you said that he was not from around here."
"I'm an alien too, like M'gann." Naruto said as he walked up to Robin and held out a fist bump and a smile.
The Boy Wonder returned the hand and facial gesture. "Wow that's pretty cool. But I got to ask what kind of knives did you use to take out those soldiers? A blade sharpened by a zero point laser with an electromagnetic generator in the handles that can bounce off on coming objects with metallic properties?"
Naruto looked back at Robin with his head tilted to the side. "Electro mango what?...No I just used this." He dropped into the acrobat's hands one of the weapons that he used against the soldiers. Wanting to know themselves what Naruto brought into battle Artemis and Kid Flash looked over from one side of Robin's shoulder while Miss Martian looked over the other. All four heroes looked down onto Robin's hand to see that the weapon Naruto used was...
"This is a spoon." Robin stated his face holding a deadpan expression as he couldn't stop looking at the utensil.
"Yeah I took it out of a box I found in one of those truck things that's parked nearby. I figured it would come in handy so I took it." Naruto shrugged.
"This is a spoon." Robin repeated saying each word a bit slower but also a bit louder. Looking up at Naruto Robin continued. "You deflected bullets, cut through Kevlar, and destroyed a gun with a spoon!"
Naruto looked back at Robin like he was the strange one. "Yeah you just saw me do all that…come on we're wasting time lets tie up these jerks and M'gann can tell you about how you got here and why you lost your memories." Naruto turned around and started walking away leaving four super hero teenagers to look back at him with their jaws practically on the ground, except for M'gann's case due to the fact that she was a shape shifter allowing her jaw to actually fall all the way down to the literal floor.
"I….I thought he was using some super sharp ninja knife." Kid Flash said shaking his head. "Or some kind of alien tech but this….I just think Naruto went up fifteen points in my book."
Rubbing one of her eyes Artemis replied. "Someone told me once that a weapon's strength or weakness depends on the user's ability to use it. A master with a pebble can still beat a novice with a knife."
"Wow I guess the principle of that proverb also applies to silverware. " M'gann whispered after picking her tongue up.
"….THIS IS A SPOON!" Robin cried out clutching said object in his hand and rocking it back and forth. "Kid Flash just who is this guy?" Robin asked as he watched Naruto begin to line up the soldiers upright.
"Oh that's just Naruto Uzumaki your everyday alien ninja from a planet he doesn't know the name to because he didn't pay attention in astronomy class."
Robin's shock and awe slowly got replaced with a smile of enthusiastic mischief. "I definitely can't wait to see the look on Batman's face when I introduce him to this guy."
Not too far away in the distance someone watched on as the four heroes walked over towards Naruto and began containing the Bialyan soldiers.
This someone had been an observer all his life in his infinite quest for knowledge. Not really choosing one side of conflict or the other, raising his hand if only the fabric of a reality was at stake.
This watcher was an older looking gentleman with giant gray eyebrows and a wrinkled face being a sign for his mid aged appearance as the rest of his body was clad in a dark blue body suit with a giant white emblem covering his entire torso.
This watcher sat upon a dark golden brown chair that stood as his throne for the kingdom of knowledge as it floated in midair. This watcher was not by any means a king as he was not a man, but a god a New God.
"Fascinating isn't it?" the New God said as he rested an elbow on his chair's armrest and propped his chin on his hand. "Less then twenty four hours on an alien planet and he's already managed to gain some sort of friendship with the locals, humph if it wasn't so cosmically possible I'd say the boy had some form of that equation somewhere in his head.

"But I don't understand Metron." The voice of a middle aged man said as the shadowy figure turned back and looked over the horizon. "Isn't this the reason you brought me here to convince him to find a way home and just leave Zetsu to the champions of this world."
Lifting his head Metron punched a few keys on his mighty chair as a holographic screen projected from the armrest. On the screen was a picture of the planet Earth as it dived and split into two identical planets. "No Lord Hokage I brought you here to try and convince Naruto Uzumaki that once he's dealt with Zetsu that he must stay here on this planet the fate of this Multiverse depends on him creating and stopping a new crisis.
