Hello people! How are you all doing? Good I hope! Now, I here have my second try at Infinite Stratos x Naruto Crossover. I didn't like how my first one went, so I deleted it and wrote a new one with a whole new plot! You will see what I mean and the pairing will be the same CharlottexNaruto and if you want, I can add a 2nd girl, just give me a suggestion. Well, I hope you all enjoy this! Bye!
Infinite Stratos or IS for short, changed the world quite rapidly. The machine was so powerful that its use for war was banned and only limited to research and space usage. It also had the negative consequence of having girls being chosen over buys as children since only females could operate it. This caused a somewhat gender gap between the two. However there was another machine that was developed to not only combat the IS, but also surpass them. The machine was known as Knightmare Frames.
Knightmare Frames, a humanoid shape and are usually between four and five meters tall, about twice the height of an average main battle tank, giving them a significant height advantage, although not necessarily range advantage. In addition to the standard range of bipedal movement, Knightmare Frames are equipped with Land spinners, self-propelled roller skates attached to the ankles of the machines, which allow them to achieve high mobility and speeds on most terrain. Visual data is gathered through Fact sphere sensors, which have thermo graphic capability and an array of other data-collection functions which are collated in real-time. Fact spheres are commonly protected under a layer of armor which can be retracted to improve system sensitivity. Knightmare Frames are piloted from a cockpit set in the protruding 'hump back' in the unit. The cockpit is a self-contained control center which can be ejected in case of emergency. Although Knightmare heads seem to have no real function besides housing Fact sphere sensors, it seems they are required to pilot the Knightmare, as seen when a pilot ejects himself when his life in danger and the Knightmare's head is knocked off.
Knightmare Frames are typically armed with rocket-propelled anchors called Slash Harkens and a number of other weapons such as handheld rifles that can fire micro ordinance and even Chaos mines, cylindrical air burst grenades that spray deadly shrapnel over a small area. Knightmares are highly versatile and are easy to modify. The power source of the Knightmare is a closely kept secret and only the creator's of the Knightmare know about it and where it's located. The only thing people know about the power source is that it needs to be recharged through energy fillers that contain Sakuradite. The process of Sakuradite creation is also a closely kept secret and only the creators of the Knightmares know about it since the chemicals used in the process are rather unknown.
When the Knightmare Frames were first introduced, people scoffed it away. Saying that they were too big and bulky compared to the smaller and low profile IS. Because of that, the Knightmare Frames were ignored, that is until the Japanese military bought the first few and used it in combat. The Frames were by far, the most lethal weapon on the battlefield. They were faster tanks, carried more firepower and had superb armor. They were easily able to dodge enemy fire, be it tank or infantry and were able to adapt to almost any environment. It was a proven weapons, but those who still weren't impressed, were indeed impressed when it was revealed that the Knightmare's would come with their own shielding systems that would be capable of taking a direct nuclear blast. The U.N and many other Nations quickly moved to prevent such a machine from being used in war, but the damage was done. Nations like China, Russia Japan, Germany and many others had already bought many of the Knightmare Frames and had already began to integrate them into their military forces. As such, they failed to ban the use of Knightmares in war.
However, only one Nation creates Knightmares or rather the family that lives in that Nation and that Nation is Japan. Due to that reason, Japans economy skyrocketed since only they were able to create the vital components of the Frame. However the creators of these Frames were two people; Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. The two created these Frames and only they knew how to produce the Sakuradite and the power source. The only other person that knew how to create them was their son, Naruto Namikaze, the heir to the Namikaze-Uzumaki Industries, the wealthiest family in the world.
"For quite a few years the Knightmares have remained flightless. This has been an advantage that the IS has had over the Knightmares, however that all changes today. We have developed 2 new pieces of equipments. The first is the Float System, the Float System not only has the ability to give flight to Knightmares, but also has the ability to float large objects, meaning that the battleships of tomorrow will sail the skies rather than the seas. The second is the Energy Wing System that will allow Knightmare Frames the speed that is faster than today's fighter jets! No longer will Knightmares we flightless machines!" A tall blond man with ocean blue eyes spoke on a stage to the audience as they all looked at the screen behind him, showcasing both the Float System and Energy Wing System. The man himself was Minato Namikaze, one of the creators of Knightmares, husband of Kushina Uzumaki and father of Naruto Namikaze. The crowd applauded at his presentation and stood up as they took pictured of him and the two new systems. He walked off the stage was soon confronted by many buyers of the new system. It was going to be a long night and he was going to be late home again.
Home:
"Kaa-Chan, when will dad get back home?" A 6 years old blond boy asked his mother who smiled at him as she prepared dinner.
"Ah, does Naru-Chan miss his father?" She asked him. The boy in return nodded as he widened his violet eyes. Kushina squealed in happiness by her son's cute response and hugged him tightly.
"Don't worry, Naru-Chan! Daddy will be home soon, but in the mean time, why don't you play with mama?" She asked him. He smiled like fox and clapped his hands.
"Yes!" He answered and so for the next few minutes or so, Naruto and his mother played around the house, well, more like a mansion.
"I'm home!" Minato said as he entered through the front door and he was tackled by a blond blur.
"Come on Naruto, at least let your father take off his shows before entering." Kushina said as she walked scooped him up in her arms.
"But Kaa-Channnn!" Naruto squirmed in her arms. Minato smiled at the scene before him. His wife and son were his world.
"It's ok Kushina, now come on Naruto, I am sure you are hungry!" Minato said as he got up and headed for the string to the living dining room to get something to eat with Naruto following after him after he released himself from his mother's arms. Kushina just sighed. He might have his father's look, but had her's personality. Dinner was as usual, Naruto asking more questions with his mouth full. Night soon fell and Naruto was all out of energy and soon went to sleep. Kushina and Minato however were talking about something.
"Are you sure that this is the right move?" Minato asked his wife as she nodded.
"Yes. Minato, she is one of my best friends and she is dying. I cannot allow her daughter to be taken away by her bastard of father. Besides, she herself requested that we take care of her daughter." Kushina said is response. Minato nodded in understanding.
"When is she coming over then?" Minato asked.
"She is only sending her daughter tomorrow. She doesn't want that man to know her location and it will be safer if her daughter came here. I'll pick her up tomorrow from the airport." Kushina answered.
"You think Naruto will be ok with this?" Minato asked. Kushina smiled in response.
"Don't worry; I am sure that she and Naruto would be great friends and maybe even more." Kushina said with a giggle. Minato sighed, his wife was going to play matchmaker...
"Well, I guess we should get some sleep then. It's going to be a busy day tomorrow." Minato said as he got up and headed of you bed with Kushina following him.
The Next Day:
The next day was quite busy for Minato as he had to work through the whole day since he was in many meetings with buyers of the new flight technology for Knightmare Frames. He wasn't complaining since it was the Knightmares that got him and his wife so rich. Many Nations rushed to buy them and now over 10,000 Knightmares were in use world-wide with many more in production. Knightmares were so effective that many Nation that bought them began to replace their tanks and support vehicles since the Knightmares could easily fill in those roles. There were also these special Knightmares. Costume made and given to the top aces of the countries that bought them. Japans military top ace also had one issued to him by the military. They even had a Knightmare academy for those who wanted to part of the Knightmare unites in the military. Back home, Naruto was boarded to death.
"I wonder when Kaa-Chan will get back home." He though. He was so boarded that he started to draw Knightmares on a piece of paper. Let it be known that Naruto loved Knightmares and couldn't wait till he was old enough to work on them. Soon, the door bell ringed and just like that he got up and ran for the door. Seeing his mom enter he noticed someone about his age hiding behind his mothers. Stopping, he blinked his eyes. He wondered who it was.
"Kaa-Chan, who's that?" He asked as he tried to look at the person, but they just moved even further back. Kushina smiled.
"Naru-Chan, this is Charlotte. She is the daughter of my friend and she will be living with us from now on." Kushina said as she moved aside to let Naruto have the view of Charlotte. Naruto looked at the shy girl and took in her features. She had blond hair and blue eye. Her skin was creamy white.
"Wow...you're pretty." Naruto said as he blushed a bit. His remark caused the girl to blush. Kushina just giggled in her hand.
"Now why don't you show her around Naruto? Also, she doesn't know much Japanese so try your best to teach her and explain her ok?" Kushina said as Naruto nodded with a big grin.
"Sure! Come on now! I'll show you around and then we can play!" Naruto said as he took Charlotte's hand and before she could even say anything Naruto dragged her away. Kushina smiled at her son's enthusiasm. Charlotte could easily be mistaken as Naruto's sister because of her blond hair and purple eyes. Her smile turned into a frown. Charlotte's arrival here was kept a secret and when her bastard of a father tried to bring her in, he wouldn't where she was. It would be easy since that bastard had never had seen his own daughter before so saying that Charlotte was Naruto's sister would be an easy way to throw him off if he ever did try to find her. Kushina really hated Charlotte's father. That man has the nerves to abandon his own child because of his company. Hell that man even tried to make a move on her! Minato almost killed that bastard and because of that mans attempt, he ended all business regarding Knightmares Frames with France. Needless to say, the French military was quite pissed since their Knightmares shipments were recalled. France was one of the few European Nations that did not have Knightmares and to make it worse, all its neighbors; U.K, Germany, Spain and others had Knightmares! This really scared the French since most of their military might was rendered obsolete because of the Knightmares. Seeing that there was no way that they would get Knightmares, France opted to throw everything in IS research.
That was one of the reasons why France was a top IS researcher and producer. French and Japanese relationships really did hit the all time low with the French hating the fact that Japan refused to sell Knightmares to them. Japan didn't really care since there were many other Nations willing to buy Knightmares with the top buyers being Germans, Russians and the Chinese. The Americans had a few, but they opted to invest more in IS research like their French counter-parts.
However with the introduction of Knightmares and the fact that they were allowed in war raised the tensions all across the world. Having a Knightmare battalion was like having a nuclear weapon and things really got heated up for a few years when Pakistan and China declared war on India as allies and used Knightmares in the ensuing war. India had suffered a crushing defeat since China was one of Pakistan's allies and had a bone to pick with India over a border dispute. India had lost the areas of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, and Meghalaya to China and lost Jammu and Kashmir, along with the rest of Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana and even Delhi were lost to Pakistan. The war lasted for only just 8 months and it truly demonstrated the worth of having Knightmares. Tanks were useless as they were slower and weaker than Knightmares. Planes were also rendered useless as Knightmares could also be equipped with a large array of anti-air weaponry. The Indian army suffered a heavy blow since they didn't invest in Knightmares. Both China and Pakistan did invest into Knightmares and had many great pilots taught to us them. The short war shook the world when they realized that the Knightmares caused the most damage to the Indian army. It didn't help that both China and Pakistan possessed Knightmares with anti-nuclear capabilities, so that any nuclear missile launched would be destroyed before it could even hit the desired targets. India's economy was
South Korea was also starting to turn its eyes to North Korea. North Korea did not have Knightmares and South Korea did, needless to say, North Korea was quite scared. Their nuclear weapons, if they even had any, were useless. They tried to reason with Japan to give them Knightmares, but it was useless. No one would care if North Korea was defeated since the people of the North suffered under the horrifying rule of the North's government. No one would come to North Koreas aid if it was attacked by the South and they knew it. The South Asian war as the world called it had proven that Knightmares were nothing to scoff at. The South Asian war crippled India's economy and India's National pride. It was even more embarrassing since the U.N had to step in and stop both China and Pakistan from advancing any further. Their National pride was even more damaged by the fact that Pakistan, their rival in almost everything had defeated them. India always boosted about their larger military and economy and when Pakistan finally won a war, they had lost much of that military might. It was no secret that China had bought many Knightmares and given them to Pakistan since there was no way that Pakistan's economy could by them, but after the war that all changed. Pakistan's economy now thrived and its military sector was rapidly growing and modernizing, it also helped that the old government was overthrown over a more open and liberal government that started to stamp out corruption.
North Korea feared that the same might happen to them and it didn't help knowing that South Korea was already a rich country and could easily afford Knightmares. The world's political landscape was changing quite rapidly. Pakistan was no set to become a great regional power and maybe a world power in due time, while China kept on growing. Russia was started to look towards Eastern Europe in hopes of reclaiming what was lost after the fall of the Soviet Union. North Korea and South Korea tensions were at an all time high. Hell even Germany began to eye its neighbor, mainly the French. The Middle East was a whole different can of worms. The Arab league and Israel shot each other death glares because of their past experience. America was starting to lose its statues as the world's police and it wouldn't be surprising to fine Nations disobeying or not even listen to the U.S. A few wars did break out between Nations. Taiwan was invaded by China and quickly overtaken by Knightmare forces of the Chinese military.
The U.N was starting to become less influential and began to lose its effectiveness and some members had already left the U.N, members like China, Russia, Pakistan, and many more. Japan surprisingly also left the U.N. The threat of nuclear weapons was starting to be replaced by the threat of Knightmares. Alliances were being formed, alliances such as the Greater Asian Alliance or the GAA for short consisted of Pakistan, China, South Korea, Japan. Some might say that the world was going to hell and a world war was on the horizon, but some said that these small wars would remain regional wars and with these alliances, the regions would remain stable and would thrive because of the open economy. At least IS weren't allowed to used in war or else things would be much worse. Some hated the Namikaze family and Japan for making Knightmares, and others loved them for making them whatever the case; the Namikaze family was a big target for many.
"I just hope nothing bad happens." Kushina though. She knew that Naruto would be dragged into all of this regardless of what the thought and because he would have to take over the company when he was old enough.
"I just hope that Charlotte will be there for him, hehehe." She thought as she giggled. What Charlotte and Naruto or even Minato didn't know was that Charlotte and Naruto's mother had talked about their two kids being betrothed to each other and had agreed to it. So in reality, both of them were engaged and no one other then Kushina and her friend knew it. She did plan to tell Minato soon however.
"I can't wait for the day till they give me cute grand babies to spoil!" She thought while giggling. What? She wanted grandbabies to spoil dammit! With that in mind, she headed off to the kitchen to make food for the two children, who would be hungry right about now judging by the laughter she could hear from a nearby room. Things were about to change, not just for Naruto, but for the world as well.
Well that's it for now people! I hope you like the Knightmares that I added to this world as a game changer and please no flame. I like criticism, but I don't like pointless criticism such as people ranting for no reason other than their personal dislike. Well, I'll be off then! Bye!
