Chapter 2
Westchester, Xavior's Manor, inside the war room of the Amazing X-men.
Sabretooth kept squeezing on Gambit's neck, "Listen to you! How you be putting Chere at risk like dat?" He was barely able to choke out, but he did not had to wait any longer because help arrive in the form of Magneto's son. "Stop it…both of you. Creed, put Gambit down. He's here because my father summoned him! The sins of the past are forgotten…for now!" Sabretooth did what he was told and let go of Gambit.
Gambit dusts himself off and look toward Magneto with a look that want answers, "I got de word from de grapevine dat you was looking f'r me. Good T'see you hung onta Creed, Magnus. Look likes he's still strong as an ox…and half as smart".
"Hah, couldn't said it better myself". Naruto said with an amuse look on his face.
"Oh, that's rich. Keep poking, Gumbo. I'm dying to poke back". Sabretooth said.
Magneto had enough of the spat between these two, "Leave him be, Creed. I have need of Gambit's skills. Kurt! To my side!" Niightcrawler waste no time and approaches him. "At your service".
"What I…what I have seen…there is one whose perspective may open my own eyes even further. I must speak with your mother, Nightcrawler. Find her her…whatever you can". Nightcrawler look at him with a serious look before speaking, "As you wish…though she will be quite surprised that you have send me". Magneto could not help but look worry, "This night is full of surprises. The rest of you…leave me be. I have much to think about". He turned and walks away, Rogue keeping up with him trying to comfort him. However Gambit is not in the mood and decides to pester him.
"Yeah? Den T'ink about dis as you turn away! I didn't come dis far T'be ignored, Magnus! You Say you need me? I want to know why! WHY AM I HERE?"
"Let it drop, Remy….Erik…Erik, please…" Rogue plea with her husband attention. But Magneto refused listening to his wife until she reaches out to him and turned him around so he can face her. "Erik, stop. Don't put me off cause some crazy man's throwing nonsense around. You promised me nothing would ever come between us again. Nothin! And I'm holdin ya to that promise, Erik…till the day we die". Gambit watches them with hint of envy in his eyes.
"Don't go chasin' some psycho vision. Not now. We're countin on you t' lead s against Apocalypse. Or do y'want your son growin up in his world?" As soon as she said the word 'son', Gambit's body shook and Sabretooth took a moment to tease him. "Son..?" Gambit said in whisper and shock. "What the matter, Cajun? They forget to invite you to the baby shower?" Sabretooth said with amusement in his voice.
Naruto looks toward Quicksilver, "It probably none of my business, but what his problem?" Quicksilver took a moment if he should tell him or not, however he did not had wait for an answer because Gambit walks up to them. "Who are you? One of Magnus's new recruits". He said while eyeing him carefully, Naruto did the same in return. "I am not one of these X-men; I'm offering my service for him so this little girl can live peace along with anyone else that is a victim to this Apocalypse fellow".
Gambit said nothing in return but instead chooses to ask him something in front, Quicksilver, Jenny, and Sabretooth are watching and making nothing will happen, well Quicksilver and Sabretooth are making sure nothing will happen. "What are you because you giving off this feeling of a certain guild I had not seen since I was a part of the thieve guild?"
"Hmph! so you a thief and for a moment I thought you could have been a shinobi. You are right to get this feeling, but tell me can you feel this?" Once he finishes saying that, he unleashes a wave of highly killing intent. Everyone in the room began to fall to their kneels except for himself, but for Gambit it was worse, he thoughts he is going to die and even see images of his head coming off. Naruto stops when he notices Jenny crying loudly and went to go comfort her.
"Dear god…what was that?" Magneto said to himself.
"It felt like…like Logan was here himself". Rogue commented.
"…I never felt like this before". Quicksilver said, "Ditto". Sabretooth agrees with him.
"This feeling felt like when I was in a mutant prison camp and saw my parents killed for giving birth to mutants like me and my sister. I never thought I would have to relive that moment again". Bishop said with tears in his eyes.
"What you felt is call KI which is short for 'Killing Intent' basically a trick that make an opponent fear them , sometime you project images in their mind of their death, only an assassin of the shinobi arts can pulled off KI, or if you a powerful being with incredible powers than it possible to do KI". He said remembering some villains he fought in his pasts that weren't shinobi by origin.
"Le blanc…y' really are an assassin..?" Gambit choked out while trying to calm himself down.
"Yes I am, that will teach you to mess with me". Naruto said. "But seriously what the deal between you and the woman, I'm asking because if you going to do a mission for Magneto, and the way you acting toward him over a woman that not your will affect the mission".
"It is none of your business". Gambit replies back, Rogue watches with a worry look. She may not love him like she used to, but she still has feelings for him and does not wishes to see him get hurt or worse.
"You know…you remind me of myself when I was a kid". Naruto said. Gambit doubts what he is saying, but, he decides to keep quiet and let him continue speaking. "I can see it in your red eyes that you doubt what I am saying. I'm going to tell you a story about myself and I want you to listen. When I was twelve years old I was in love with a pink hair girl, Sakura Haruno. I was so love in with her that I couldn't think, eat, and sleep at night without her invading my very thoughts. I was so blindly in love with her that I failed to notice another girl who actually loves me, but I learned when I was sixteen years old that she is in love with me. But I like I said I was love with Sakura, however, she did not love me at the time. Instead she is in loves with a guy name Sasuke Uchiha, elite of the Uchiha's clan, and refuses to see anyone outside Sasuke. I tried talking to her and took every risk to gain her attention, but in return I made her angry and violent toward me, however, I never gave up because that is how bad I wanted her as my girlfriend. And doing those times of me trying to gain her attention, my secret admiral, Hinata Hyuga, heiress of the Hyuga's clan, was watching me and falling love with me more because of my never gave up attitude. You see I was fear and hated by my own people because my Father, who was the leader of my village, sealed a fox demon inside of me. But before he did that demon have killed a lot of people, and people fear and hatred does not go away in a day. And that why I found myself liking Sakura a lot because when she was little she was alone just like me. She uses to be bullied just like I was. And one day she met a girl named Ino Yamanaka, and she starts to change but not for the better. However, I getting off the topic a little; what I meant to say is that she did not starts taking notices in me until Sasuke ran away from the village and became a rogue ninja and enemy of Konoha. Yeah I was the second prize and you know what? I did not care because I was so craving for her attention and not paying attention to Hinata, who was trying her best to get my attention but she was too shy to approach me let alone form a complete sentence around me. Then I went on a three years training by the time I was thirteen years old with my sensei Jiraiya, a legendary ninja from our village; I saw many things and met many interesting people from our trip. The reason for the trip was for me to get stronger against a group that is targeting people like me for world domination. But during the whole trip and trainings and I could not stop thinking about Sakura and my promise I made to her when I thirteen, the promise that I bring back Sasuke. I was such a fool in keeping that promise, but like I said I was blinded by love. Jiraiya sensed I was trouble by Sakura and my love for her, so he sat me down and told me about his life and you know what I learned?"
"What? What did you learned?" Gambit asked.
"I learned that history is a bitch and repeat itself whenever it can. When Jiraiya was thirteen years old he was a lot like me in every way but having a demon sealed inside of him, but he was a huge pervert for his age. He too was in love with a girl, Tsunade Senju, heiress of the Senju's clan that help formed our village. He tried everything he could to gets her attention, but she did not loves him, but when they got older she fell in love another person, forsaking Jiraiya feelings. Unknown to Jiraiya, she fell in love with him when they were in their 50's and before he was murdered by one of his former students; but that a story for another time. When I was return back to my village, Sakura starts to cling to more, but I was no longer excited by it because I remember what Jiraiya told me about his past and women. It wasn't until I went through another training that I came to realize that I no longer love her, and as for Hinata, she actually confesses her love for me; However, I did not love her because my only concern was saving the world from Sasuke and his Immortal Grandfather, Madara Uchiha. I came to realize that Madara would do whatever he could to hurt me and that by targeting anyone who is close to me, and Hinata is one of those people who I kept close as a friend. Even Sakura tried lying to me about loving her but thank to my new abilities, I can sense emotions, evil intention, and feelings. She was lying not only to me but herself and I sense that and told her, she was still in loves with Sasuke although he wishes revenge on our village for the mistreatment his clan when through and the order his big brother went through in killing them because they were going to cause a coup. The sad part is that Sasuke's clan was innocent, that it was Madara who cause trouble in our village, he also the reason why my father had to seal away the demon in me because he unsealed it from my mother, which the process was killing her. Yes, in case you didn't noticed, I grew up alone in a village that fear and hate me because I am different, so different that I was mend to be the hero that keep the demon at bay from escaping. Back on the subject of what I'm saying, I was no longer the person seeking attention through love, I had a purpose and that purpose was to save the world from a tyrant from a mad man and his grandson. It took me a few years but I manage to save the world except Madara send me away with his last breath, and now I'm here, trapped on this world almost similar to my world. I have seen first-hand what this mad man, Apocalypse, has done. What that phrase you said he called it, Erik, 'Survival of the Fittest'. What an interesting phrase he called it but it also goes to show you how much of a coward he really is. He is just like Madara, wanting to take over and terminate anyone who could pose a threat. And stand before you and say to myself, 'How in the hell did you guys allow this to happen?' And you know what I see as my answer, fighting among each other over stupid things when you could be working together. Look mister, I get how you fear about this woman, trust me I get it, but you have to let her go because she already spoken for and have a kid".
"You don't know how it is I—" "You cannot help what the heart want, and right now she does not loves you because I can sense it. The only feeling she has for you is concern and worry for your well-being, you need to move on, and believe me I know it hard but you be happy; and plus I sensed that you already have somebody else but you cannot let go of your first love". Naruto said.
"!" Gambit said nothing but the look of surprise is on his face. "Have you forgotten what I just said, I know I had a lot to say, but you couldn't have forgotten that I can sense things about people, now did you?" He asks Gambit.
"…Fine…Erik I wait around a little bit longer, if that ok with you?" Gambit said with head down and his back turned, and Rogue looking at him with worries in her eyes. "Yes…Remy". He replies back but his mind is still on what Naruto said about his life.
"Father?" Quicksilver call out to him because he senses his father's distress. "Pietro…gather the rest of X-men in a few days, Kurt, continue the search for your mother and tell her to contact me because I'm going to need her help in finding someone who can tell me the truth about Bishop and a reality where Charles Xavier existed and this nightmare didn't".
"It will be done". Nightcrawler finished saying and then teleported away.
"I understand father, however, what you are going to do instead?" Quicksilver asked.
"I will be accompanying Gambit and his X-ternal on a mission before meeting with Colossus, Shadowcat, and my students about a rescues mission of great importance. By then I will have Bishop and Naruto with me on that mission". Magneto said.
"And who will go with you to Gambit's hideout in New York City?" Quicksilver asked. However, his answer came from another person that is not his father. "I will go with him".
"You! No that a risk we cannot take, especially if my father is the leader of the resistance". Quicksilver said glaring at Naruto.
"Look this getting old with this whole no trust thing, sooner or later you going to have to trust me, and right now is the time to place your trust in me. Beside I have this feeling that I'm needed on the first mission". Naruto said matching Quicksilver's glare with his own.
"Enough! And he is right; we need all the help we can get if we want to put a stop to this madness of a war!" Magneto said raising his voice. Quicksilver wanted to protest, but Magneto looks toward him with a glare, Quicksilver back down…for now. "This will be a chance for me to see his skills in action if we run into danger. If it turned out we can't trust him, and he turned out to be a spy, than he will be dealt with by me. Right now we need all the help we can get. Our only allies are ourselves and The High Human Council and their Sentinels, and Apocalypse have many soldiers in his court. If we ever to escape this nightmare than we need to be united!"
Rogue, Gambit, Quicksilver, Bishop, and even Jenny put their heads down knowing he speaks the truth, this argument between each other won't send Apocalypse and his forces away. They know if they keep arguing among each other and not work together than Apocalypse deserved to be ruler of the world. Magneto looked toward Gambit before speaking, "Gambit, where is your hideout located at so I can discuss X-ternal's mission?"
"You remember when a group of mutants' tribe tried living in the sewer tunnels to escape the wrath of Apocalypse when he took over New York City? Gambit said.
"Yes…I remember they were called the Morlocks, and memory serves me their leader was a woman named Callisto. I believe the same Callisto who left the Morlocks and went into hiding when Apocalypse's forces started capturing them for experiment, do not tell me that you and your X-ternal is hiding out in the Morlocks' tunnels!" Magneto asked.
Gambit did not answer, but instead he smiles as his answer to Magneto. Rogue grew a look of worry on her face, "Remy, that is the dumbest idea of location! You stand out like a man with honey in his hands!"
"Or Apocalypse is the type of a person with an ego not to look in the same place twice. I mean his forces had captured all of these Morlocks, right? So I guess nobody would think of looking back at these tunnels, especially if each location is in the sewer". Naruto said throwing in his two cents.
"Exactly, Erik, whenever you ready we can head back to my den. Dere a tunnel in the basement of this manor, we can use that to get back at my den. For now only Lila is there, the rest of X-ternal are out stealing supply from one of Apocalypse's men; so we will have some private chats before we fill the others in on what this mission is". Gambit said while heading toward the direction where he came from. "Then let us be off, Naruto joined me with this mission first and that we head back here and picked up Bishop". Magneto said while following after Gambit but not before giving Rogue a kiss.
"Now you be a good girl while I'm gone, I'll be back before you know it". Naruto said, patting Jenny on the head. "You promise?" She asked.
"Crossed my heart and hope to die, yeah I be back". He hugged her and walk after Gambit and Magneto.
ELSEWHERE WITH APOCALYPSE
"Do you know why you are here, soldier?"
"Yes my lord"
"From your report, it stated that you saw Magneto and his rebel X-men recruited two new members. One of them is a mutant who can absorb energy and the other one is unknown being that cannot be read as a human or mutant, is this correct?"
"Yes my lord".
"Why did you felt the need to tell me personal, wasn't Unus your commanding officer who worked under my son Holocaust?"
"Yes my lord, Prelate Holocaust is my general…."
"So why didn't you go to him, but instead you approach me?"
"My lord, I felt the need that you need to know—" "Wrong, you wanted to advance in your position. Such zealous behavior I would recommend, however, at this moment I am not impressed!" Apocalypse interrupted him; he walks around the soldier until he stands right behind him.
"My lord I didn't think—" He never got the chance to finish because Apocalypse grabbed his neck with his massive hands. "No you did not think on what you doing, but your death will have some meaning because you let me know about this mysterious person and what he can do. However, your death will send out a warning not to disobey your commanding officers and report to me unless they tell you otherwise!"
"REX!" Right on call a man with a spiky Mohawk and a scar across his right cheek, walk in the room and kneel before his master.
"You summon me, my lord?" Rex asks him.
"I need you to look up any information regarding this mysterious young blond man along with the man with a tattoo of the letter M on his right side of his face; but not before cleaning this mess up". He walks out the interrogating room, not even sparing his personal assistance a pity look. "Yes my dark lord…." He said, while watching him leave his sight.
INSIDE THE MORLOCK TUNNELS AND NEARLY CLOSING IN ON THE X-TERNAL'S BASE OF OPERATION….
" Won't be longer till we reach my base, moi meis". Gambit said leading the way, Naruto following closely behind and Magneto walking at slow pace at the end of the line, his mind on the surrounding area. Gambit look back and send Magneto was troubled by his surroundings. "I know what you are thinking Erik, but dere was nothing you could do to protect them, nobody can".
"I know dammit, but I wish I could have been there, and then maybe I could of make a difference". Magneto said while picking up his pace.
"These Morlocks, are they still alive or what?" Naruto asked.
"Maybe or maybe not". Gambit answered.
"What that supposed to mean?" Naruto asked.
"It means there is a chance that they already dead, when mutants are captured by Apocalypse's forces they are directed to the pen, a holding cell inside Apocalypse's citadel, it is there where they meet their fate and be experimented on by a mutant who goes by the name the Dark Beast. He is the reason for the infinites, for they are made from the gene coding of mutant prisoners who was killed for his dark twisted experiment". Magneto explained.
"Tell me more about this Dark Beast; I'm judging he looks like what his name is stated". Naruto said with a serious look and tone.
"Before Apocalypse and his army took over America, the X-men and I did what we could to stop him, on one of our mission we got word of Apocalypse's forces took over Nebraska and that weird experiment was being conducting over there. Me, Wolverine, Gambit, Storm, Exodus, and Dazzler personally went there and broke free each prisoner we found. One of the prisoners told the location of a secret lab, we head over and saved who we can. It was there we met a mad scientist named Henry McCoy, who was at that time nickname the Beast. He is a twisted and sadistic genius who take pleasure in hurting his prisoners, back then he looked normal, however, I had heard he experimented on himself to look like some grey man-lion, whether this is true or not is yet to be seen by our eyes".
"Well we are here…." Gambit said as he opened up the locked door using the password for the door. "Only I, another fellow who work for me, and Lila knows the password, so we safe here". He reassured them, and the door opened leaving an echo sound in the surrounding area. Gambit extends out his hands, "After you".
Both Naruto and Magneto walked in with caution, and then follow by Gambit; however before he could close the door, another door opened. The door in front of the opening door opened up, and a beautiful raven hair woman walk through, her eyes locked with Gambit before cracking a smile.
"Oh you back, I was getting worried". She said.
"Hello Lila, my chere, how is things going?"
"Not so well Remy, it been awhile since I last heard from Bobby, Guido, and Jubilee. I think they may have been capture or worse". Lila said with a gloomy look across her face.
"Chere, have faith, they are X-ternal they will be back". He said while trying to stay positive.
"I know…and so was Synch, but he was caught and killed by one of the Prelate. We can't keep losing more of our people, and human survivors are getting restless since we on a delay of stealing the shipments of foods and meds, Remy what are we going to do if—"
"Lila…do not worry, if worse comes to worse I personally go out and steal the shipments myself. Right now I wish not to be disturb, I have two male guests to entertain". But before he could hears what she had to say he closed the door.
"Two male guests? I hope you not turning gay! It bad enough you cannot let go of your old flame and let me in your heart, I do not need this to be happening to me now!" She said with a not so happy tone, and then she turned around and closed the door behind her.
INSIDE GAMBIT'S DORMAIN
"Now let get to business…what did you need for me and my X-ternals?" Gambit asked.
"I won't lie to you Remy; this mission I'm trying to hire you and your team for is a dangerous one with high percentage against you". Magneto grimly said. Both Gambit and Naruto stay quiet just to hear what he had to say, Magneto continued, "I need X-ternals with Lila Cheney to head out to space across the galaxy to steal something called the M'Kraan crystal; in fact Lila is the key for getting you there".
Gambit folded arms together and took on a serious look, "how so?"
"Lila as you know was once a prisoner of Apocalypse's pen, but she treated well from the other because of the potential of having mutant powers similar to Blink". Magneto explained.
"Wait, are you sayin that she can teleport and create portal as far away like the moon?" Gambit asked.
"Yes, but it will do her no good if she don't know where to teleport at. I am aware that did not unlock her powers, but I know of a person who can help her with that". Magneto said.
"Oh but here comes a but, I know it". Naruto finally said after being quiet for so long.
"This person is spy that work for me inside Apocalypse's citadel as his librarian. The man we looking, his name is Peter Corbeau, a former astronaut for the United States and a long time spy for me. There is a machine mend for Lila and it purpose is to help Lila unlock her mutant abilities; it also can locate where in the galaxy is the Shi'ar empire, the same empire that have the M'Kraan crystal. This M'Kraan have the power to change this reality for better, a reality where Charles Xavier lives and Apocalypse did not take over America". Magneto explained.
"Hmm…fine we got deal Erik, but if any harm comes to Lila you a dead man, you hear me?" Gambit said.
Magneto looked at him instead of answering, and then before anyone else can say anything the door behind Magneto and Naruto starts to open. Naruto already on guard and Magneto quickly turned around when he felt a light on his back, positioning himself in a ready stance. But instead he met with a frighten teenage Chinese American girl, a huge muscular bald Caucasian man wearing a visor across his eyes, and a Brazilian dark-skinned young man with shoulder length hair.
"Where Remy, if you harm him in any way you'll deal with us, the X-ternal!" The Brazilian said while his hands start to glow a dark blackish yellowish color.
"Roberto…Remy not hurt and he standing right there". The Caucasian man said while pointing, while girl stared at the newcomer that is not Magneto.
"Who is he?" She said with a smile. The man now known as Roberto moved his charged hands toward Naruto. "Make a move and you are dead!"
"I highly doubt you got what it takes to kill me, but let test your luck". Naruto said not amused.
"Let not…Roberto, Guido, and Jubilee; meet Naruto, a shinobi that not from the fallen Japan, hell he's not from this world. He is Magneto's soldier for hire and is here with him because we got a mission to steal a crystal called M'Kraan. But here the catch, this crystal is across the galaxy in an empire called Shi' ar". Gambit explained, however, his teammates did not look convince and Jubilee kept staring at Naruto, blushing every now and then like a certain girl does back on Naruto's world; Naruto pay the girl no mind.
"You're joking, right?" Roberto said while thinking Gambit and Magneto is on something.
"Mon ami, you know I don't joke around, and not even the worse part". Gambit said.
"It not?" Guido said.
"Nope…apparently Lila is supposed to take us there with her hidden mutant powers similar to Blink's powers". Once he dropped that bombshell, everyone stood quiet even Jubilee pay attention to Gambit's words. It was at that moment when Lila shown up. "Remy, the humans are happy with their supply…what is going here and why is everyone quiet?"
" NO FUCKING WAY IS LILA DOING THAT!" Guido yelled.
"Wait hold up, I'm doing what?" Lila said, everyone taking their time to look at her, Gambit stepped up to her and took his hands in his, Guido growl not liking the relationship between Lila and Gambit. "Chere…Magneto wants all of us to go on a mission to steal a crystal called the M'Kraan. But this crystal is said to be across the galaxy at an empire called Shi'ar, however, to get there we need you to teleport us there".
"But Remy, I don't have any powers". Lila said while looking in his eyes and seeing the fear in them.
"Well Magneto believes you do and is the reason why Apocalypse had you capture when you were a young teenager". Gambit said with his head down. Lila let go of his hands and back slowly in fear.
"Lila…." Guido tried to approach her but Gambit did instead. "No…not the machine, I cannot go back to that". She said with tears in her eyes.
"Erik, forget it this won't work, we need another that doesn't involved my girlfriend". Gambit said while holding her tightly in comfort.
"I wished there was another way but there isn't…Ms. Cheney I understand your fear but this time you will not be alone, beside your boyfriend and teammates, Naruto and I will be there with you to sneak into Apocalypse's citadel. I can vouch for Naruto, he took out Unus and we all know that is not an easy task to do". Lila looked toward and noticed the serious look in his eyes, if she did not know better she would assume he was a young blond Magneto with whiskers like marks across his cheek. "Are you sure Apocalypse won't be there?"
"He won't and if he is he'll be my problem not—" "Wrong, if he will be there he be both of our problem. I want to meet this guy and show him I don't like the fact on what he did to innocent people". He released a little bit of killing intent, Gambit once again felt it, not liking it at all except now he holds on Lila who is shaking in fear, and so is Jubilee. Guido and Roberto felt like they cannot breathe and move. And then the killing intent was gone like it never been there in first place.
"What the hell was that?" Jubilee said while finding her voice to speak again.
" I couldn't breathe or move". Roberto said holding his chest.
"Me either". Guido said agreeing with him and not faring any better.
"That was called killing intent. Only a skilled warrior or shinobi such as myself can perform that simple trick. Listen I don't know what you been through, Lila, but the longer we wait the more chance we give away in defeating this tyrant. From what I was told by red eyes over there, you guys are considered his teammates and he's a thief; so that mean you all thieves, right?"
"Yeah…" Lila said before anyone else can say anything.
"Then start acting like it, Magneto believed that this crystal can change reality and prevent this nightmare from ever happening, so here a simple choice for you; help Magneto and save every innocent out there including your owns or don't help and let Apocalypse win and lived under his reign, which is it?" Naruto said while folding his arms, everyone stood quiet. Each member of X-ternals is trying to figure out which is the right choice. Magneto walks up to Lila and kneels to her level, "Please, the fate of this world and everyone in it is counting on you. Apocalypse won't rest until he conquered each nation and then he turned his attention to toward you once again because of your gifts. We both know he wants to conquer other worlds and will your abilities he will get that unless we stop him now. I know you are scared, but you must man up and help our cause. You will not be alone on this mission because you will have not only myself and Naruto to help you in get in his citadel, but your teammates will be you with you every steps of the way, and plus Remy seems to have luck on his side on every mission he went on". He said that last part with a light chuckle, Remy could not help but smirked.
"…Fine…but if this is a trap we pulling out and leaving you two to die in there". She said with a serious look in her eyes, and even Gambit felt some chills from her words.
"Noted". Magneto said in response.
"Well my merry thieves let be out and do some robbin". Gambit said walking with Lila.
"So hey, my name is Jubilation Lee, but friends call me Jubilee". Jubilee said to Naruto while they both walk at the end of the group through the tunnels.
"Naruto Uzumaki, shinobi of the hidden leaf village, taken from my world and send here will no possible way of getting back. And believe me I tried everything to get back including reverse summoning myself".
"Reverse summoning?" Jubilee asked.
"I keep forgetting that no one on this world knows the shinobi arts, well maybe if we take out Apocalypse I'll introduce the arts of shinobi to this world".
"Can you teach anyone how to be a shinobi?" She asked him.
"I do wonder that myself because I saw first-hand how useful your skills are". Magneto added his two cents.
"It depends, how old are you, Jubilee?" Naruto asked.
"I'm fifteen, but what that have to do with anything?" She answered and asked him that question. Everyone in front listen in on them because they wanted to know the secret, Magneto thinking if they get the same training than he and his rebels will have a big advantage against Apocalypse and all his forces.
"I asked because if you were eighteen it becomes harder to unlock your chakra". Naruto said and noticed the confusing looks on everyone faces. "It is essential to even the most basic technique; it is the molding of the physical energy present in every cell of the body and the spiritual energy gained from exercise and experience. Once molded, it can be channeled through the chakra circulatory system, which is to chakra as the regular circulatory system is to blood, to any of the 361 chakra points in the body. Through various methods, the most common of which is hand seals, the chakra can then be manipulated to create an effect that would not be possible otherwise, such as walking on water, exhaling fire or creating illusions. For example take a look at this…." He did a T sign, energy circling around in the color blue, and then he created a shadow clone of himself. The clone looks around and waved at Magneto and X-ternals. Gambit and Lila both look like mouth were catching flies, Guido and Roberto were rubbing their eyes, and Jubilee stared intently toward the second Naruto before getting a dirty thought and blushing. As soon as the clone came it vanished in a small smoke cloud, However, Naruto was not done he walks up to a wall and actually walk on it using his feet. Nobody said nothing and stood quiet and waited till he was done and joined his place by Jubilee's side. "What you just saw was a shadow clone and walking on wall technique. The shadow clone is my favorite because I can create solid clones of myself, but that not the best part. My clones can learned anything and experience and when they vanish I learn what they learned, which is why that technique is good for recon or overpowering me opponents".
"Amazing, how many can you create?" Magneto asked.
"When I was 12th years old I created in the thousands, now that I'm 20th years old I can do a million…what why are you looking at me in shock".
"Mon ami…do you how unstoppable you are?" Gambit said
"I have to agree that many of you can turn this war around". Guido added his two cents.
"Oh I get it now…yeah one would think that but these clones have one flaw, and that is with one good hit they vanished and I don't mean a slap". Once he said that everyone grew a sad look on their faces. "But I do know another technique with keeping my clones solid enough to take a hit but that drained me a lot faster than anything".
"What it called?" Jubilee asked while everyone waited for his answer as they walk much slower to hear his answer.
"Sage mode…when I'm using that technique I can create stronger clones that can take a hit but I can only create ten so far, any higher than ten will start to make me feel exhausted. However it takes a while for me to use that technique, but learning that technique allow me to track down a person with negative emotion or sense them, so all of you can relax there is no one here but us but I do sense negative feelings from you". He looked at Guido. "Maybe it your imagination". He replied back calmly, but on the inside he a nervous wreck. "Does he know I am one Apocalypse's spies? I going to have to be careful around him otherwise that bastard Gambit will know and I end up breaking Lila's heart. Lila…just what the hell do you see in that guy, can't you see I'm more of a man than he is!"
He noticed Naruto never stop looking at him, he was going to call him out but he spokes first before he got the chance to. "You have the look of a traitor but also a lover, strange; do you have a problem with somebody in your group?" Guido stopped walking, but Lila decided to stand up for him. "Hold on, I knew Guido for a long while before I was captured. He is no traitor, and I'll be happy if you don't accuse him or anyone else in my team again!"
"Noted…but don't say I didn't try to warn you". He gave Gambit a look before Jubilee decided to change the subject, Gambit didn't missed the look and look away in deep thought. "So…Are you an X-man or one of Colossus' wannabe X-men?"
"Either, I'm just a soldier for hire, what about you? always been a thief or was you once an X-man like Gambit?"
"Actually no… I was once a regular girl who watched her parents get killed because they were human and I was a mutant, I found by Gambit and Sunspot, and since the past three years I been trained as a thief by Gambit, I was trained in the art of fighting by Guido and Sunspot, and I was trained to be a bitch by Lila-"
"Bite me Jubi". Lila said while sticking out her tongue, Jubilee did the same.
Jubilee look back at Naruto and decided to be frontally, "Say when we get back from our important mission, do you want joined us? I can teach you how to be thief and we trade more stories about each other".
Naruto already aware of her crush toward him to him decided to let her down gently. "I'm sorry but my only goal is saving this world and getting back to my world and beside there is a huge age gap between you and I, and I don't feel right in going after a young girl such as you, but I don't mind us being friends".
"Why not? If it my age that not a problem because plenty of people goes after those who are younger or older. Gambit is dating Lila, and she only nineteen years old, and then there Storm who is a few years older than Quicksilver and they are a couple". She said not liking his answer and rejection.
"I have to agree with Jubi, and let not forget Magneto and Rogue, Rogue married him when she was in her early 20ish and you like what 50 or 48 years old. So I don't see what the problem are those types of laws and rules went out the window when Apocalypse took over America. And beside it not right to hurt a young woman heart catch my drift?" Lila said while earning a glare from Magneto for talking about him and Rogue, while Naruto was reminded of Tsunade and for reason Kurenai.
"Hey enough chit-chat we're here!" Gambit said as Naruto and the others stand before a lock door with a number pad console attach to the door. Magneto walks up ahead and started putting the password on the console. The door opened and they were greeted by a man in a white robe with long brown hair, this man is Peter Corbeau.
"Hello Erik". Peter said.
"Hello Peter, how much time we got left before he gets wind on what we are doing?" Magneto asked.
"Not much, he has been upset lately over some mysterious blond guy that may not be mutant taking down his soldiers like no normal human can. He been keeping guard on things around here, so I say we have thirty minutes or less". Peter said.
"If worse comes to worse, I will battle him again, and as for the mysterious blond…Peter, say hello to Naruto Uzumaki". Magneto said as he and everyone walk into Apocalypse's lair.
"You're the one who made the dark lord upset, there is a huge bounty on your head and there rumors going around that he is afraid of you. Are you sure you not a mutant?" Peter asked while he guides the group to one of Apocalypse's secret room.
"If you asking me if I was born with some powers than you are wrong, I'm normal…somewhat but I'm not from this world. I'm glad to hear I have a bounty on my head, back on my world my enemies did the same". Naruto said with a smirk on his lips.
"What is this place?" Sunspot asked.
"It looks like one of those things that have model of planets in the room except this have a lot of galaxy I never heard of…Kree empire, what that?" Guido asked.
Lila froze in her track because she sees the one machine Apocalypse had her strap to when she was younger, Gambit put his arms around her, "Chere, do not worry we watching over you, he cannot hurt you this time I'll make sure of it". She kissed Gambit for his word of encouragement.
"Ms. Cheney I need you to sit in this chair, and imagine a flow of energy going through your body, there will be some discomfort but it is the only way". Peter said. Lila nodded and sat in the chair, while Peter places a helmet on her head. He starts the machine and shot of a pain spread across Lila's face, Gambit grew worry and stood by Lila's side beside Guido displeasure.
"Look alive people, I sensed a group of people heading our way, and they know we are here". Naruto said as he got in his fighting stance and everybody else did also.
"How many?" Magneto asked.
"Twenty". Naruto replies back.
The door at the far end of the room opened up and in came twenty red robed masked men with spears in their hands. "Madri!" Sunspot shouted.
"X-TERNALS, GUARD LILA, DON'T LET THEM ANYWHERE NEAR HER!"
Naruto looks at them and smirk, "Clones huh? Well two can play that game!" He created twenty clones of himself to match the Madri. The clones joined Magneto and the X-ternals in battle while the real Naruto rushed for one Madri heading in his direction.
The Madri soldier went to for a thrust with his spear, but Naruto evaded the thrust with a small spin to the right side of the Madri. The Madri found himself opened and tries to guard but Naruto proven to be quicker than him, Naruto went for a flurry of strike before he starts to disarm the Madri by breaking his arms with just his palms and not a fist. Madri dropped on his knees and screamed, but Naruto silence him with palm strike toward the head, the Madri's head snapped in a different direction, he died quickly. Some of the other Madri who saw that started to back away in fear, but Strong Guy is right behind them, he pounded them into the ground until her heard their bones break. Sunspot roasts most of them alive with his powers, and Gambit used his charged knives to cut through the Madri clones and blow them up on the inside. However it was Magneto that was doing the most damage to any of them, He picked up most of them and ripped the iron through their bloodstream out their organs and body. Each clones of Naruto kept assisting them and even did equal damage to the Madri clones. More clones kept coming from the entrance they came from but Jubilee and the real Naruto met them head on. Jubilee evades enough strikes from Madri like an actual kunoichi, which got Naruto to be impressed and reminded of Tenten except without the weapon. Jubilee strikes the Madri clones with her firework powers, which blinded most of them. She jumped out the way with such agile that none of the Madri knew Naruto took her place and when with a couple of hand signs and shoot out a wave of wind out of his hands, the Madri clones were taken from the ground and launch into the arm until blades of wind cut them in half, blood and damaged organs hit across the walls of the room. Magneto and the X-ternals stood there in shock after finishing their battle.
"Not even Storm could do what you just did, such powers. I knew I made the right call in hiring him". Magneto said.
"Whoa…Naruto, that was amazing, how you did that?" Jubilee asked.
"Oh that was just a jutsu like my clones". He dispelled his clones and got their knowledge of the battle. Just then Lila started glowing and her clothes started shedding until she was naked. A white portal appears behind her, and she somehow dragged herself and the X-ternals through the portal. Naruto tries to reach for Jubilee but she vanishes in the portal before it closed.
"What just happened!" Naruto asked.
"I believe they teleported with Lila to their destination, we should leave now because the Dark Lord is sure to heard of this commotion—" Peter Corbeau got interrupted by his worse fear.
"You are right to run away in fear flatscan! For the punishment is death for betraying me to my enemies…Magneto it been awhile since our last fight". Apocalypse walks into the room at the other side of the room. By his side are more Madri and a guy with a Mohawk and a brown cape. Magneto and company turned to face them.
"My lord it seems we do have a traitor and it was none other than Peter Corbeau". Rex said aiming for his rifle on his back.
"He is a weakling, and weaklings are known for betraying the strong". Apocalypse said.
"It seems we must put an end to this here and now, Apocalypse, I brought a friend along who you might have heard of". Apocalypse looks toward Naruto, and both their faces have a serious look across it. Unknown to everyone in the room, Peter steps back slowly and pressed the self-destruct button without anyone knowing.
"So you are the tyrant who thinks he is the big man around here, I am not impressed by your tyranny! All those innocent people and for what because you deem them unfit to live, what you give you the right!" Naruto said slowly walking up to Apocalypse.
"What right! I am the lord of this world it is my birthright to rule this—" He was interrupted by Naruto's speed, Naruto's right hand is glowing and holding some form of a blue sphere energy.
"For all you done, for all the innocents you took away, die you monster! RASENGAN!" Apocalypse have a look of fear as he watches the attack come closer to his metal chests.
