This is the second chapter, hope you enjoy.
Chapter 2: Heroes among us!
Wally West in all his life, never felt so tired. Every bone, every muscle, every fibre of his being was screaming in pain at his fatigue. He guessed that's what he got when he pushed his body past its limits. He wondered if he was in heaven. He certainly didn't feel like it. He opened his eyes and could see that he was in a medical ward and then he began to panic. Where was he? Was the world safe?
"I see that you're awake." Naruto walked in holding a food tray with a metal bowl covering it.
"Naruto, you're here, thank god is the world safe? Did we win?" Wally asked in a mad panic.
"Slow down kid, this is the first time that I met you even if Flash never shuts up about you." Naruto set down the tray next to him.
"What are you talking about Naruto?" Wally stopped then it dawned on him. Naruto really didn't know who he was but then he remembered that he had a technique that allowed him to know if he was telling the truth or now.
"You can use one of your techniques, you called it the Human Path." Naruto's eyes narrowed at his words before he sighed.
"Listen eat your meal first then we can start talking." Lifting up the metal bowel, Wally was disappointed to only see a single bean.
"A bean? This is a bean." Wally stressed the world 'bean'.
"Yes it's a senzu. Now eat." Wally took the bean from the dish, putting it in his mouth and immediately noticed the hard texture. He continued crunching on it and he felt good. More than good, he felt great and full. Kicking his legs over the side of the gurney, he jumped on the tip of his toes.
"That's one hell of a bean, I feel amazing." Wally said, jumping on his speed.
"Calm down, Kid, first I have to read your mind. Now I haven't done this since…" Naruto paused and looked away distantly.
"Naruto?"
"Let's just get started. I need you to stay calm and don't panic, if you feel a tugging sensation, stay calm."
Wally calmed down sitting on the gurney before feeling Naruto's hand on his head. Then he began to see his life from start to finish then everything went black.
"Hey, kid wake up." Wally blinked his eyes open feeling tired again.
"What just happened?"
"Oh I read your mind and pulled your soul out of your body."
"What?!"
"Don't worry, I put it back. Your soul's fine, I think." Wally was not reassured by him, if anything it was the opposite.
"Well seeing future me has been quite the trip, I think I know how you got here." Naruto stood there contemplatively. "The chrysalis energy that struck you when you ran to prevent it from blowing up the earth, you somehow absorbed that energy into your cells essentially supercharging and evolving it. Now at that time what you wanted to go faster to try and catch up to the Flash and Impulse. I believe you began to exceed their top speed, you went past the speed of light and you broke through the light barrier so to speak and entered…"
"Time." Wally finished, realising what he had done.
"When you time-travelled, you essentially entered another world or another universe so you don't have to worry about fading away."
Wally sighed glad that he wasn't going to die anytime soon.
"Wait but if that's true then shouldn't we try to not change anything otherwise it would cause a butterfly effect."
"Pfft, that's the reason why I'm here to change the world for the better."
"But what about my life, what about Artemis I can't go back to my parents or to my world." Wally was beginning to freak out, he was in a new world, his soul was taken out of his body and now he can't get back.
"Stay calm, look there is a possibility that when you time-travelled, this world can branch out into your world. So I'm going to give you some advice: Accept, adapt and move forward."
Wally could only nod at his words, remembering it from his training.
"I'm going to leave a clone behind to show you the grand tour of my base, if you look at anything shiny or sharp, I'd advise you not to touch it but there is a possibility that you will do it and your untimely death will occur while my clone will be there to catch it on camera and upload on YouTube."
Wally with permission to touch anything in the base now had a seed of fear ingrained to him to not touch anything at all.
"I'll be back in a flash." Wally couldn't stop the sigh that left him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Maelstrom express, please keep your arms and legs to yourself while we do the tour of Ground Zero." The clone said brightly and Wally could feel the foreboding well up in his stomach.
On a planet far away…
"Right Hiraishin Kunai on a planet with a blue sun." He looked at his surroundings and couldn't help but note that it was filled with strange wildlife. Not to mention the blue sun high in the sky. Naruto sent a rock spire upwards and cut a stone slab from a nearby boulder hopped on top before entering sage mode, feeling the natural energy that flowed on this planet. He could sense something familiar about this place before a particular energy signature was coming towards him and fast. Before he had time to move away, a figure slammed into him hard and he rocketed away into a nearby mountain. He flipped over and his foot touched the mountain face before exploding as he flew towards the figure. The figure tensed before crossing his arms to block the rasengan as his boots dug into the ground. The attack dissipated and Naruto got a better view of the person in front of him. He wore black combat boots that were fairly worn, pants that had seen better days, and a shirt with a symbol on it that he couldn't make out and he had black hair that was slightly spiked and eyes that were a remarkable shade of blue. He looked to be about 15 years old give or take.
"What's the matter, Naruto, you taking it easy on me today?" The figure spoke out.
"Buddy, I haven't even met you till today." He dodged a sweep kick.
"Already playing mind games, typical." The teen sent a superfast punch that Naruto blocked with his head though he had to supress a wince.
"Alright, you want a fight then I'll give you a fight." He elbowed the teen in the jaw that knocked his head back then threw a straight punch connecting to his midsection that made him double over. He sent a roundhouse kick that was blocked by the teen's arm which rattled under the force. Naruto back-flipped away from the haymaker, only for him to cover the distance with a fist cocked-back only to be caught by his opponent's hand, seeing that he was about to do the same, he reinforced his hand with chakra catching his fist.
"Seems were in a deadlock." Naruto smirked. The teen only seemed to smile.
"You shouldn't have gotten into one with me." His eyes glowed red. Naruto could only stared shock before drop kicking him in the jaw, the heat vision tearing through the trees and into the sky.
"Shooting lasers out of your eyes, not good for me." Naruto head-butted him that didn't leave any effect. The teen sucked in some air and Naruto realised if this guy had any powers like Superman then he should try to avoid or at least counter it. He rolled to the side where the freeze breath covered a boulder.
"Also not good for me." Seeing him turn towards he clapped his hands together, electricity dancing between his fingers.
"Raiton: Jibashi." A wave of electricity shot out from his hands and towards the mysterious Kryptonian. Little did he know Naruto would get one of the biggest shocks of his life. (No pun intended).
"Fuuton: Daitoppa." Electricity met wind and both Jutsu cancelled each other out.
"The fuck?" Naruto could only shout incredulously. He was about to continue when someone else appeared in front of him. It was him but a little older and like the Kryptonian also looking like he went through a hurricane.
"Oh so it's like that." Naruto realised before holding out his fist, the clone only smirked before bumping fists with him. He disappeared in a plume of smoke before Naruto clutched his head from the surge of information.
"Alright then, Conner let's go." Conner could only sigh in relief, tension leaving him. He grabbed onto Naruto's shoulder before they blinked away.
At the hideout…
"And here, we have the R&R room and that concludes the tour. Any questions?" The clone seeing Wally about to open his mouth interrupted him. "Good, now if you'll excuse me, I have to go." He disappeared in a puff of smoke only for Naruto and Conner to appear before him.
"Conner!" The speedster's eyes widened, he didn't think that he was supposed to exist yet.
"Hey." Conner raised his hand indifferent.
"What's that supposed to be!?" Wally shouted in indignation.
"Alright settle down. Now I'm going to explain Conner and what we're doing."
One lengthy conversation later…
"So that's the plan?" Wally was currently munching on a Granola bar.
"That's the plan."
"So how are we going to blend in, we're not exactly different to our other selves here." Conner spoke up.
"I'm going to apply some seals on both of you that will alter your visual appearances. This may tickle." Taking out a brush and some ink, he got to work which didn't take too long. Wally now had flaming orange hair and light blue eyes, his face didn't sport any freckles and it was more angular, his skin had an olive tone to it. Conner's hair was white and his eyes were the colour of topaz, his face and jaw were more defined and his skin was tan.
"There, now there's one more thing we have to do." He looked at both of them with an evil grin.
"I'm afraid to ask but what is it?" Wally felt fear creep into him and Conner gained a determined glint in his eyes.
"Training." Wally paled.
Ground Zero, Unknown
October 23, 12:00 EDT, 2009
"Alright boys, give me one more lap then you can hit the showers." Naruto commanded to the two heavily sweating teens who only confirmed their response by a groan. Two months of intense training starting from five and it had been seven hours followed by an intense hour of fast education. Wally thought he had gone through Naruto's training but the response he got was less than enthusiastic. Naruto laughed at Wally for a full minute before commenting, "Please."
The moment that they stepped foot into the training room, it was the moment that they knew they stepped into hell. He first started off with a relatively long session of stretching and then the training began. Naruto knew that he was training super-powered beings so he made them wear special suits that would help test them. He engraved seals such as weight, resistance and gravity seals.
He started them off with sets of push ups, sit ups and a thirty-minute sprint that felt longer, if they slowed down then he gave them incentive to keep their pace through the rubber balls of DOOM! After they were done with that, he had them run an obstacle course that had traps that would have made Home Alone look tame. Naruto also taught the both of them parkour helping them get from Point A to Point B in the fastest way possible.
Naruto had them practice and improve their powers after that with the encouragement that he could use their powers on him. Wally would be able to run at the speeds of Mach 2 and Conner's powers were reduced to only his Kryptonian physiology so no flight or heat vision.
The last exercise was a simple sparring session/martial arts lesson. Needless to say, they both got their asses handed to them when Naruto stated that he wouldn't hold back and boy did he mean it.
"Hit the showers boys," Naruto was sipping juice on his lawn chair with his feet in a kiddie pool.
"They're progressing at an incredible pace for them, in a few years I believe they will be able to outmatch the Flash and Superman." Kurama observed.
"But that's not good enough."
"Hahaha are you kidding? When you were their age, you could take on God-Class beings." Kurama laughed.
"Well I don't think they have to worry about facing any gods anytime soon." There was a pregnant pause before they both laughed loudly to themselves.
"Guys, I'm going to go out for a walk, you have a free day." There was a loud cheer as Naruto disappeared.
Salem, Massachusetts
Walking around the park with the sun high in the sky was Kent Nelson. He was a 105 year old man but from the way he walked he seemed to have a few decades left in him. He had dark grey hair that was bordering white and blue eyes. His outfit was a two piece black suit with a white dress shirt and black tie to go with his ensemble and black dress shoes as well. He walked along the road with a cane that had a curved golden top.
Feeling like taking a break he sat down on a bench next to a young blonde man in a black shirt, brown cargo pants and sandals. There was a comfortable silence as they both basked in the warm atmosphere. There were kids playing in the park, a family having a picnic and a couple enjoying the springtime of youth…wait.
"Lovely day isn't it?" Kent spoke aloud.
"Sure is." The blonde man responded.
"So what is someone like you doing in this place?"
"Don't know what you're talking about, old man." Kent burst out laughing at that, tears pricking in the corners of his eyes.
"I think we both know who the old man here is." The blonde man could only sigh.
"What can I say? Maybe it's genetics." The old man recovered from his laugh at that comment.
"I don't maybe I'm here for a good cause or maybe I want to cause a little chaos." Kent frowned at that if only slightly knowing that Doctor Fate wouldn't like this strange and powerful individual.
"Relax, I'm here to help and I was a little curious to see this world's sorcerer supreme. I'm Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said.
"Kent Nelson, and I'm afraid Doctor Fate's been retired for 64 years." He couldn't hear the Naruto muttering but he thought he caught on something such as 'every single universe' and 'First, strange now fate'.
"Well that's upsetting, the world needs a sorcerer supreme, Kent and I don't think Nabu would appreciate being stuck in the helmet for so long."
"How did you know his name was Nabu?"
"Wikipedia."
"I'm sorry." Kent thought he misheard that but it would be funny to him if it was true.
"Well I gotta leave, places to go, asses to kick. I enjoyed our talk, Mr Nelson." Naruto got up from his seat, heading towards the shadow of a tree.
"See you later, Mr Uzumaki." Naruto's form melted in the shadows as Kent got up and walked off with a jaunty tune.
Los Angeles, California
October 23, 15:45 EDT, 2009
"Team, there's bank heist in progress and they're hitting the Union bank. Time for your debut." Naruto called over their radio. "Hyperion, it's a hostage situation so I need you to get them out safely, you've got the speed so go take them out."
"On it." Wally was in a new outfit, the bottom half was black and where the boots and pants met was a red lightning bolt, the top half of the outfit was silver and had red accents, his gloves were red as well with the signature lightning bolt plastered on his chest. He had donned on a helmet with a visor.
"Time to go." Dashing inside the bank, time slowed down to a crawl for Hyperion. The hostages were all on their knees the robbers pointing their guns at their head. Some of women and children were crying including one man who almost looked ready to piss himself. Running up to them, he tossed the gun away before moving the arm and curling his hand into a fist towards the robber's cheek. He moved on to his next two targets. One robber was ready to hit a man with the back of his rifle and the other was completely wide open. He moved the rifleman's arm so they were positioned to hit the other robber in the jaw and he sped over to the last robber and just poked him in the cheek.
Time sped up again and all that Hyperion did occurred, a robber punched himself in the face, another hit a robber in the jaw with his rifle and the last one he couldn't help find funny as the last one flew back from his simple poke.
"What? What's going on?" The lone robber looked around.
"Hi dude." Hyperion sped in front of the robber and knocked him out with a solid punch. "Bye dude."
"Hostages are secure and robbers are neutralised." Hyperion reported. He heard an explosion go off on the side of the building before three Black Mustang raced out.
"Rao, you're up."
The Black Mustangs were racing on the street when they saw a black-clad figure ahead. Conner's outfit from the bottom half was red along with fingerless gloves that cut off at the elbow, from his stomach to lower chest was blue. The iconic S-shield was on his chest and his shoulders to neck were all black. The driver floored the gas thinking that he was going to run him over but he saw the Rao's symbol too late and before he knew it the car was flipped over with a kick. The bank robbers only groaned in pain as the other mustangs whizzed past. Rao's eyes glowed red before two concentrated beams of heat melted the back tires. With his super speed, he reached the last Mustang pulling the bumper up as the back tires tried accelerate forward.
"You have five seconds to leave the car before I turn it into a cube. Five, four." The robbers rushed out the car and were on their knees, hands up in surrender. "That was too easy."
"Good job, that took only four minutes. I'm impressed." Naruto congratulated them. "Head back to Ground Zero, I've got more missions for you."
