Naruto sat in a meditative pose right in front of the large waterfall of sage oil and attempted to gather Nature Charka to unlock Sage Mode. Pa and Ma, the head Sage Toad Summons, watched carefully, making sure that Naruto didn't absorb to much and turn into stone. Naruto eyes began to get orange markings around it and Naruto felt the senses of his body begin to expand. Naruto opened his eyes and smiled, however this was short lived as the Nine Tailed Fox, Kurama who lived inside of him, awoke from a nap to find a strange source of power flowing around him. Focusing on this power, Kurama found that it was so potent, that should he absorb it, he would have no problem breaking free of his prison. So, with that in mind, Kurama pulled on the power and as it flooded Naruto's body and was draw into Kurama, Naruto's body couldn't withstand it and overloaded in Sage Charka.
Pa looked Naruto with caution as Naruto's body stiffened and then suddenly turned into stone. The stone cracked and shattered into a million pieces in a instance, and in a explosion of charka and negative emotions, Kurama ripped himself free of the seal and his normally blood red-orange fur was highlight by yellow. Kurama looked at the toads and said in a deep voice "Thanks for the strange power, for that I will kill everything on this planet first, before I return here and wipe you pathetic insects of the face of the Earth." Pa looked at Ma with horror and said "What have we done?"
With Naruto
Naruto was surrounded by darkness. It stretched onward in every direction, no matter how far he walked, there was always darkness. Naruto sighed and said "What do I do now? I died I think. Maybe I did and now I'm stuck all alone in this endless void." A body less voice was heard yelling "You're not alone, just being judged." Naruto looked around as the darkness brightened and his surrounds became a giant white room.
There was nothing in the room expect for Naruto, A robed figure dressed in all white and a robed figure dressed in all black. Naruto looked at the two and said "Who are you guys?" The white figure spoke in the same voice that Naruto heard before, only now he could tell that it was female "I am Kami, God of your would. I am here with my brother, Death to judge you on you path to heaven or hell." Naruto seemed to deflate at these words and said "So, I really am dead huh? Well that sucks, I had so much to prove." Kami looked interested and Death smirked under his hood and said "What would you be able to prove? That you could die before you complete your destiny again. I don't think that will work for us, child of prophecy." Kami nodded and thought 'Smart, make him think that we don't believe in him and he will try to prove us wrong.'
Naruto glared at the two figured before him and said "I'm sorry that I couldn't stop the Kyubi from escaping, but to be fair, he is a force of nature that is said to have the strength of a god." Kami looked amused and Death looked angry at those words, but decided to let it slide for now. Kami looked at her brother and with some unseen facial gestures and said "Well since you failed to achieve your destiny, you will have to save this world from the evil that threats to ruin it. I hope that you are up to the challenge."
Naruto didn't get to respond before the whiteness and the Gods in front of him disappeared back into darkness and he collapsed into the void once more.
At Cadmus
Lex Luther was standing in the Project Kr containment room on sub-level fifty-four. His head scientist here at Cadmus, Dr. Desmond was trying to curry up favor in the pathetic leech like way that suited him. Lex looked at the clone of Superman and said to Desmond "You have been at work, I can see that based on the results of this cloning. It seems that with Human DNA filling in the holes in the Krypton DNA is working to our desired effect." Desmond nodded and replied "Yes, I am terribly sorry Mr. Luther, it seems that the instability of DNA of the people of Krypton is more suited to be used once they are mixed with Humans. I believe this is due to the planet they come from lacks a lot of the bare basics of Earth."
Luther nodded and exited the room, ignoring the disgusting pink interior of the room and walked into the elevator. Desmond followed after him and hit hit the correct buttons. Luther looked at Desmond and said "Well, it is hard to argue with results, but I asked you to complete a clone of Superman in 4 months and, so far at the 15 week mark, you've delivered you part of the bargain."
"Along with Project Kr, I have managed to nearly complete Project Blockbuster. I need some more test subjects, a mixture of humans and meta humans. I hope that within the next couple of weeks, I'll have cracked the code on that complex project."
Luther nodded and responded with "Hm, it seems that you've managed to get further along than anyone would have thought possible. I must say that I am deeply impressed with your ability to understand and complete such complex and rare problems. If this keeps up, there will be a spot on the Light with your name on it." DING!
Luther and Desmond walked out of the elevator and lobby onto the steps of Cadmus. Luther watched as his car pulled up and said "Until next time-" He was interrupted by a large crash right next to his car. Luther nearly ran down the steps and approached the crater with caution. Desmond peered over the edge and said "Sir, it seems to be a mid teenage boy. He has spiky blond hair, and is wearing a black and orange jumpsuit. How should we proceed?" Luther looked at his watched and then at his car and said "Take him into the building and store him next to our cloning chamber, as I want you to study his body and DNA to see what type of person can survive making a crater that big and still be breathing. Heal and experiment on him, that is all."
With That Luther shook Desmond's hand, who said "Let's see what makes you tick."
July 4th, 2015
The three young heroes were deep into Cadmus, and were already regretting it. They had come to investigate, but had somehow got caught up in a full battle. There were countless creatures down here that were constantly attacking them. Ever since they had met the Guardian down here, and something controlled his decision to not call the League, but to instead attack them. Robin looked at Kid Flash saying "We need to find a computer, that will allow us to throw them off of our trail." Kid Flash nodded and burst off into the unknown level. He returned in a couple of seconds and said "There isn't one around here, but there is an elevator that we can use." Robin looked at Kid Flash and Aqua Lad, who nodded and said "Let's get to it." They rushed to the elevator and Robin quickly hacked it and Kid Flash looked as the numbers went down, not up.
"Dude, out is up." Kid Flash screamed, but Robin replied "Yeah, but Project Kr is down on Sub level Fifty-Four." Aqua Lad sighed and shook his head, but agreed that they needed to find something that would justify their being here. The elevator opened and they rushed through the hall and came to a split. A figure came out of the right side and the trio rush to the left side and came to a room.
They entered and the door locked behind them. Inside was a pod the held a blacked hair teen and said "Kr". Robin walked to the console and began to filter through the data from it and said "This is a clone of Superman. He was cloned and grown in as little as 16 weeks. Not just that, but the Genomorphs are force feeding him information and the suit that he is wearing allows him to collect solar rays at all times."
Kid Flash looked at the pod and said "Guys, we can't just let them keep Superman's son as a slave." Aqua Lad agreed and said "Yes, free him." Robin nodded and began to type on his wrist keyboard. The pod hissed and opened up, and almost immediately, the person in the pod burst forward and decked Aqua Lad in the face. Aqua Lad jumped to his feet and caught a kick to the chest, and Robin attempted to hit him with a gas bomb, but was batted backwards.
Kid Flash rushed forward and launched a series of punches, that the teen from the pod had no chance of dodging and was stopped when his hands were grabbed and he was quickly and effortlessly knocked unconscious. The saved teen stomped on the downed Robin's head and got put in a master lock by Aqua Lad, who then electrocute him. The teen roared in pain, and did a reverse head butt and knocked Aqua Lad out. The teen look at the trio and the door opened and Desmond walked in and said "Good Job, Weapon Kr. I find your brutal ways to be the best way to get result. Now get back to your pod on sub level forty-two."
Sub Level Forty Two
Desmond watched as the trio of sidekicks awoke with a start as the cloning process began, and caused them immense pain. The trio looked at Desmond who smiled and said "I find that cloning humans to be much easier than anything else. So, I'll clone you, then dispose of you, and your roles that perform will your mentors can easily be replaced with my clones that are filled with my programming." Robin groaned and said "I am so whelmed right now."
Desmond left and the trio watched as the tanks in front of them began to fill with their DNA. "Hey, look at this, I've got some guests, I would offer you something, but I'm all tied up." Aqua Lad looked at Kid Flash and said "Now is not the time for jokes, we need to find a way out of here." Kid Flash frowned and said "That wasn't me."
"You're right, that wasn't you. It was me, the guy who is in a pod about 13 feet to your right." said the same voice as before. The trio looked at the pod that the voice mentioned and saw a pod similar to the one, Project Kr, was in. Inside was blonde teen with bandages wrapped all around him, who like them was restrained. "This is extremely uncomfortable and I would love all of you, I you could perhaps, I don't know, free me." Kid Flash scoffed and said "Yeah, let me get on that, right I after I find a way to free myself." "Well aren't you the greatest mind known to mankind."
Robin sighed and said "How about both of you just shut up and let me concentrate on escaping these bonds." Suddenly the door to their chamber was ripped off the hinges and in jumped Superboy. Aqua Lad looked at Superboy and asked "What are you here for? To fry us with Heat Vision or to free us?" Superboy squinted his eyes and focused on Aqua Lad before saying "Well, I don't have Heat Vision, so it looks like freeing you guys is my only option, I guess." Superboy jumped up to Aqua Lad's pod and ripped his steel cuffs that were bonding his arms and legs off. At the same time, Robin's cuffs released him on their own and he jumped down and muttered "Batman would have my head for taking so long to escape such a basic entrapment."
As Superboy unleashed Kid Flash, who stretched before saying "The whole League will have our heads for what happened here tonight. We've discovered a grave dark secret of Cadmus, that they are cloning people and creating weapons. Then, not only did we discover the bare surface of this secret, we found the gem of all gems, Superboy the son/clone of Superman." As Kid Flash finished his rant, the blonde teen in bandages off to the side coughed and asked "Where were we with the whole freeing everyone in the room not just the weird teens in the tights." Superboy moved before anyone could say anything else and punched through the glass of the blonde's pod. He pulled out the bandaged teen and set him on his feet. The teen groaned said "Thanks, next time feel free to be as gentle with me as you were with the others."
Nobody could stop Kid Flash from saying "Phrasing!" before Robin smacked him in the back of the head. Aqua Lad looked at the wrapped up teen and said "What is your name stranger?" The blonde blinked and said "You guys don't know who I am? I must say that this is a first, I was already pretty famous throughout the Elemental Nations before becoming the Toad Sage. I never expected to meet someone who didn't know me. So, My name is Naruto Uzumaki, Toad Sage of Konohagakure." Robin looked at Naruto and said "Well, sorry to say that we've never heard of you, but from the way that you were talking about us before being weird teens in tights, I would say that you don't know of us either." Kid Flash sped between them and said "You can compare notes together later, how about right now, we find a way to blow this shit hole and then grab some tacos."
Superboy looked at Aqua Lad and said "Why would I leave Cadmus, it is my home. They have taught me everything that I know from the Sun to animals." Aqua Lad blinked at that statement and said "You know the names, but have never seen them yourself. We can show you the sun." Kid Flash fazed in next to them and said "Well, I'm like 99 percent sure that it's nighttime, but we can show you the moon and Superman." Superboy looked at the young heroes and his fellow Cadmus prisoner, then said "Alright, I'm in."
The group nodded and then a ground shaking roar was hear as Professor Desmond commanded the Genomorph army into full battle mode to capture of kill the young heroes. Naruto pulled off his bandages to reveal that while he had black pants on that were made of some other worldly material, he was not however wearing a shirt, thus revealing his muscly chest and arms, that were absolutely littered in cuts and scars. Naruto turned to Superboy and asked "How durable are you? Does that strength extend to more than just your arms or is your entire body that strong?" Superboy raised an eyebrow and said "My entire body is as strong. I don't know what you have planned, but if it can get us out of here, I'll allow. Suppose it works, but I don't like it and it isn't to bad there will be no consequences, but if it's really bad, I will not punch you."
Naruto chuckled and said "That was oddly specific, but doable." Suddenly a burst of blue energy blazed into existence around Naruto who in one swift movement grabbed Superboy by the ankles and spun. As Naruto picked up speed, he began to aim and with one heave, threw Superboy right through the ceiling above him and into the floor right under the main lobby. "You are so getting punched" was the only words from above. The trio of sidekicks looked at Naruto, who said "Well, going up before jumping up through the hole in the floor and landed next to Superboy who glared at him. The rest of the gang joined them in a couple of minutes and Robin looked at Naruto and said "Man, you are pretty strong."
Naruto blushed and scratched the back of his head before someone said "Oh my goodness, how adorable are you little hatching's. Never the matter that I can not allow for any of you to reach the surface as you will undoubtedly report about all of this to the Justice League. I can't have no group of pint size sidekicks ruining all of my plans. I guess that this leave me with no choice, but to deal with the bunch of you upstarts, all by myself." Desmond looked at the group of future leaders and saw that they were all surrounding Naruto who finished whatever he was saying with "And then I throw a bucket of paint of him, before I sliced my pillow and slammed it over his body leaving him red and covered in feathers." The group burst out laughing and Desmond growled and yelled angrily "YOU BRATS, I'LL TEACH YOU A LESSON FOR TURNING YOUR BACK ON ME." Robin snickered and said "Bro, we hear speeches about how we're going to and I quote 'Meet Our End' like every four days. By the way, your fly is down." Desmond looked down and groaned and Kid Flash snickered, then said "Yeah, you'd kill us alright. Death by disgust, what if we're beating the shit out of you and your thing came out and brushed up against us. We would probably just die of embarrassment."
Something inside of Desmond snapped and he yelled "That's it everyone dies, Humans, Aquatic Humans, Super Clones and Inter-dimensional Lifeforms." Kid Flash looked at Naruto and said "Bro, did you hear that, your from a different dimension. That is so cool, I can't wait to see how you compare to the people of our world." While Kid Flash was talking, Desmond pulled a vial full of blue liquid out of his lab coat and swallowed it. His body began to bulge in multiple areas and his skin ripped to reveal solid muscle. Naruto looked at the transforming scientist and said "So, we're just going to let this happen?" The team had no response as the scientist finished his transformation into the yelling blue creature. The twisted doctor had gone from a modest 5'10 to just over seven feet, his skin, the few pieces he had left, had a blue hue to it and all of his body was covered in rippling muscles. Aqua Lad looked at the monsterous figure in front of them and said to the group "I don't believe that he has tested this out on anyone before, maybe we can try to reason with him." Then to the doctor "Doctor, try and gain control of yourself, this isn't what you want."
His response was a kick to the face that sent him into a pillar. Naruto looked at the downed hero and said "I don't think that he is in control anymore, maybe it's time for me to take a shot at him." All he got was a groan and Naruto sprinted at untrackable speeds and landed a crushing punch to Desmond's face. Naruto smiled and watched as the scientist turned experiment flew through a wall. The smiled turned into a tearful frown as Naruto grabbed his arm and yelled "This hurts me more than it hurts." Kid Flash rolled his eyes and lowered his goggles before rushing forward with a barrage of punches that did nothing. For his troubles, he was promptly bitch smacked through another pillar. Robin looked at the broken pillars and formed a plan that was quickly scrambled by the elbow that knocked him across the temple. Superboy looked at his downed allies before launching a jump kick to Desmond's face.
Naruto made his signature hand sign in the same of a cross and said "Shadow Clone Justu." In a puff of smoke, an identical clone of Naruto was standing next to him. Naruto charged a rasengan and his clone grabbed his arm and spun, before releasing him aimed at the foe of the moment. Naruto yelled "TAKE THIS ! RASENGAN!" The attack hit and sent Desmond flying through the remaining 3 pillars on the left side. Robin jumped into action and said "Get him to the middle of the room. I'll do the rest." Naruto and Superboy nodded and together, they ran up to the downed form of Desmond and started to lay loose a beat down of epic proportions. Punches and kicks rained down on the transformed scientist with nearly no end in sight. Naruto grabbed the beat up experiment and throw him into the middle of the room.
Robin grabbed Aqua Lad's water pack and dumped the contents onto the floor covering the floor and Desmond in water. Robin with pin point accuracy hit the puddle of water with an electric-charged batarang hit the small pool of water and sent a pulse of painful electricity through Desmond's body. Desmond spasmed, before he awoke and once more began to roar in anger and pain. Robin clicked a button on his wrist mounted computer and an explosion went of on the last standing pillar. This caused the ceiling to tremble and within a mere few seconds the entire roof came down on his head. The teenage heroes scrambled out of the way and when all was said and done, the five of them were battered and bruised, but alive.
They all looked to Superboy who was staring into the nighttime sky. He face was full of awe and Kid Flash chuckled and said "I bet it looks a lot better in person, then some images that were forced into your head." Superboy, who had no response as he was still staring at the perfect full moon, could only nod. Naruto sniffed the air and said "Guys do you smell that?" The rest of the group checked for any smell that was out of place and came up with nothing. When they voiced this to Naruto, he grinned ear to ear and said "I smell the beginning of a beautiful friendship between the five of us." Superboy, who was standing next to Naruto said "Yeah, I think that we could be friends." Then without any warning, he lifted his arm and slugged Naruto in the face from the side and said "Yeah, this is going to be great. I will finally get to experience the world with my own eyes."
Naruto laid in a puddle of his own blood and asked "Nobody wants to take me to a hospital huh? You guys are the greatest asshole friends a teenage ninja could ask for." Superboy was staring at the moon, when he saw a figure come into view. This one figure came closer and turned out to be Superman. Then all of sudden, the air was filled with the entire Justice League. Batman jumped down from a green hand provided by the Green Lantern and said "Explain." The trio of sidekicks began to retell their story from the beginning, leaving out who Superboy really was out of fear.. Superboy and Naruto added in when asked and finally Superman noticed that Superboy looked really familiar.
Moving in a direct line toward Superboy, He grabbed the torn part of Superboy's shirt and lifted it to reveal a Superman like shield. Superman gasped and Superboy frowned and his anger flared "YEAH THAT IS RIGHT, I AM SUPERMAN'S CLONE. DEAL WITH IT." Superman groaned and Superboy looked at him with disgust. A blur was seen and when it stopped in between the Super duo, it was revealed to be Naruto who was facing Superboy. He winked at the angry clone and spun on his heel and socked Superman right in the kisser, sending the man of steel flying. Naruto scoffed at the self proclaimed pillar of justice and said "while those who break the rules of the ninja world are trash, those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash. But in this case, you choose to abandon a person who could be your son, your no better that the criminal that you put away. You best get your sorry ass up and apologize or you can just leave."
Superman rose from the staggering blow and glared that Naruto was surprised Heat Vision didn't spring forward from his eyes. Superman snared and said "This isn't over. There will come a time when you need to rely on the S Shield, and when you need it most, it will not be able to help. Enjoy the time until then." With that, Superman grabbed Project Blockbuster and flew off angrily. Naruto chuckled and said "Some one has to pull that gigantic ass stick from this dude's ass." Batman smirked under his mask and said "Well, this situation still needs to be dealt with." The Flash nodded and said "Yeah, not only should you have called, but this will never happen again." Kid Flash shook his head and Aqua Man said "Stand down young heroes."
Aqua Lad, who was just hanging around said "Apologizes my Lord, but we well be doing this again. You wouldn't let us join you guys in the Justice League, then maybe we need to break free of the bonds that you have us on and set out on our own." Batman fixed a glare at him and said "What do you?" Superboy smirked and slung his arms over Robin and Kid Flash before saying "That means that the five of us, don't care what you think. Either get on board with us being a team or get out of the way." Batman smirked and said "I planned on you saying something like that and consider us on board."
1Week Later: At Mount Justice
Naruto, finally wearing a shirt that orange with purple tiger strips on the sides and the same ninja pants as before, watched as Robin, Aqua Lad, and Kid Flash came into the mountain through some type of teleporter. Naruto watched as Superboy came into the main hall to join the rest of them and the five of them all lined up in front of the 3 mentors, who were joined by Black Canary, Martian Manhunter and Red Tornado. Batman cleared his throat and said "The reason we've gathered the group of you guys here is to inform you that the six of you will be forming a team that will work in covet." The Flash nodded and said "The villains are getting smarter and thus we have to keep up with them. It's time for us to create a team that can slip behind the scenes and fight the good fight unseen."
Naruto nodded and Robin asked "Wait a minute, there is only five of us, but you said the six of us. So what gives?" Batman nodded to Martian Manhunter and he walked over to a console and hit a couple of buttons. The computer voice came to life and said "B-O-7, Miss Martian" and there was normal flash of white light and suddenly there was a girl. She was a girl with green skin, orange hair and freckles. She was wearing a white shirt that has a large red X going across the chest and red skirt and cape. Naruto looked at her hair and said "I like your hair" then slapped his hand over his mouth and blushed. Miss Martian also blushed and said "I like the colors of your shirt" and her shirt morphed from white and red to the reverse of Naruto's. With her shirt now, purple with an orange X, Naruto smiled. Aqua Lad looked at Robin and Kid Flash, smiled and then said "Speedy was wrong, today is the day."
I like where I am going with this story, not sure about you guys, but I am feeling that this story is going to be a big hit and maybe one day it will have 100's of everything, but for now I am more than happy with thought that there is people who will view my story. I know that some people may read it more than once, and that makes me stride to make these fast short chapters rather than those long stretchy chapters that would take at least 2 weeks to write. I hope that ever one likes my story so far. Don't be afraid to check out any of my other stories.
That's all for now, until next time. Also, if you have any suggestions or complaints, feel free to leave a review or PM me.
