AUTHOR NOTE: I'd like to give a very special thanks to my friend and fellow writer "digisovereign" for helping me get the idea for this story in the first place with his (saddly now removed) story "Psycho Naruto" and for being my co-author for this fanfic as well as to "rot anschauen drache kaiser" for the idea of Sasuke's VERY SPECIAL ROLE later in the fanfic!
Note: I'm making Naruto strong, but NOT godly! The Psychos dmitted he had enough potential to be one of the most powerful individuals in the Power Rangers universe and trained him to the bone endlessly for the amount of equivalent to twenty lifetimes, as stated in the Prologue!
Something that never made sense to me is that even if they never fought before, anyone who becomes a power rnger instantly knows ho to fight like an expert.
Also, there's a poll on my profile on which story I should focuse on more between "Dark Dove, Bright Fox" and "Ninja Art: Dimension Cross & Galaxy Lost", check it out and vote.
After a few hours of wandering around aimlessly searching for the command bridge (and more than a few fist-fights along the way, seemed anything ranger-related had more than half the goons on this ship ticked off) Naruto was, putting it lightly, pissed as all hell.
"Ugh...all I want is to find Scorpius and see if he'll let me join his forces, is that too much?" the green-and-black armored blond grumbled sourly.
"You don't say? Well I'll be happy to show you around then." A feminine voice told him from one of the corridors he'd just passed, causing Naruto to whip around and turn to see who had spoken.
As it turned out it was a girl that didn't look much older than he was. She was dressed in a black form-fitting suit that had sections of hard black exoskeletal armor at various places on her body, including her forearms, shoulders, over her breasts, and around one side of the back of her areas in a few places on her suit revealed flesh underneath, including a portion on her upper chest, across her midriff, and even moreso around her thighs. she had a human face and ears, with most of her head covered by a black insect head design bearing purple segmented eyes and two antennae.
Naruto couldn't help but stare, not only was she was beautiful, she gave off a aura of power and authority to match.
She turned to him and her lips twitched slightly, seeing him standing there and, though she couldn't be absolutely sure with his helmet on, looking at her. "Like what you see?"
Naruto was glad he had his Psycho armor and helmet on or he was sure a full-body blush would have been visible, embarrassed he'd been caught staring. Like what he saw? How the hell couldn't he? How couldn't any straight guy in the galaxy for that matter? All he could do was nod dumbly at her question.
She smirked proudly and swaggered towards him with an obvious sway to her hips. Naruto gulped, PLEASE don't let her be a tease!
"So you're the new guy huh? Name's Trakeena...stick with me and I'll be sure you're...treated well around here." She said, her brown eyes gleaming as she enjoyed seeing the newbie squirm in response to her teasing.
Naruto had to push back the urge to faint. Hot damn! Did she honestly have to put it like that?
"Uh...while I'd love to get to know you, I'm out to make a good first impression with Scorpius..." he swallowed, feeling like he had every frog and toad in all the hystory of Myōbokuzan in his throat all at once. "Well, for the sake of getting introductions out of the way, I'm the Psycho Green Ranger."
Trakeena grinned broadly at that "True...my father isn't one to take disappointment and failure lightly...after all, like you said. Business first."
Naruto's eyes bulged. Her WHAT? Aw hell! PLEASE let this meeting he was having with Trakeena right now be a normal thing with the new guys around here!
Looking amused, Trakeena allowed herself to indulge into the devious smirk that graced her face and she walked while swaying her hips. Naruto knew what she was doing, it was as if she was saying "look but don't touch", but what she was doing made him want to do exactly that. Aw damn it worse than even the Uchihas deserved to be! She WAS a tease! And he had the sinking feeling he'd just become the sheep that wandered into the lion's den with her.
Trakeena looked back at him and grinned as she saw her actions had the desired effect, the poor newbie's legs were visibly
"Well come on, I'll introduce you to daddy, and don't worry if you don't know what to call him since it's your first day, Dad or Pops will do."
Naruto froze, panic etched onto his face as he twitched at the thought "Er...I'd rather not go there...this guy's gotta be powerful in on way or another if he's got this much of the bad, the ugly and the suicide-rather-than-look-at-'em types under his command. I'd rather not give the guy a reason to put a price on my head or kill me himself..."
"Hmm...true...the kids would never know what their dad looked like if that happened." Trakeena said playfully, cupping her chin in an intellectual manner.
"STOP THAT!" Naruto shouted, panic at the idea of what this Scorpius guy would do to him if he found out his daughter had said that causing his heart to pound in his ears. What was with this girl? What did she stand to gain by keeping up this tease-routine? Shouldn't she be taking him to her father?
Trakeena held a hand to her mouth and snickered, this was too easy. Best of all was that he couldn't retort except by begging her to stop as long as they were aboard the Scorpion Stinger! Poor sap! She found teasing him to get him so bent out of shape was actually quite fun. She pushed making this guy squirm aside for now, going into an all-business mode and motioned for him to follow her. He wanted to meet her father and join the ranks of their forces, after all.
Naruto was more than glad that Trakeena was no longer teasing him, and what's more, she was actually leading him to where he was trying to get to.
"Father...there's someone here that wants to offer his services to our forces." Trakeena said, entering the command bridge once they'd gotten there.
"Very well, have them step forward." A deep, amonst gurgling voice said, Naruto guessed it was Scorpius.
"Psycho Green...Father. Father this is the Psycho Green Ranger." Trakeena said, giving a third-party ntroduction to the two as Naruto stepped up as Trakeena moved off to the side and Naruto caught his first sight of Scorpius.
He resembled a large arachnid with tentacles instead of legs, which made him look more like a sea creature than a bug in Naruto's opinion and a thin layer of clear goo slime covered Scorpius's body.
The blond Psycho ranger ranger did a double-take between Scorpius and Trakeena. That was her father? Well at least she had her mother's good looks, that was for certain. But he REALLY didn't want to think of a woman and the king of creepy-crawlies going at it at night.
"Surprised? Most new recruits are, so don't worry about it." Trakeena said, her and her father having gotten use to the surprise of when the people found out they were father and daughter years ago.
"If you'll allow me to join your forces' ranks, I believe I can be of use to you, especially if you have a power ranger problem, the Psycho Rangers were made to remove that as a factor. I have more than enough power to deal with them."
Scorpius mulled that over. An anti-ranger ranger would be useful but this would require a feild test to show that it wasn't just talk.
"Very well, if what you say is true, then I will require proof. Overpower the defenders of Terra Venture and you shall be allowed to join my forces, if what you say of your power is true, then the better you do, the higher your ranking. One of those who are loyal to me shall go with you and observe your skill level and when you return, we'll use a memory projector to see if your words are true."
"A trial by fire, eh?" Naruto said with his helmet concealing the border psychotic grin on his face "Now you're speaking my language...BRING IT ON!"
A few moments later, Naruto was teleported to the Residential Dome of Terra Venture. Naruto would have rather gone to the Forest Dome seeing as the place reminded him a little bit of Konoha, but since he was there on business, he really had no say in the matter. Based off his memories of his village (though he was unaware the Psycho Rangers had tampered with his memories) Naruto could honestly say he didn't give enough of a damn about the people in Konoha to rival the size of a roach's crap, but he DID love the village itself and how rather than dominate the environment for the sake of their convenience, the village was made to benefit most by hormonically existing with the land around them.
Naruto looked to the one who was assighned to observe how well he did and shook his head in annoyance. It was Scorpius's main general, Furio. Given the choice, Naruto would have rather it been Trakeena seeing as he was somewhat knew her rather than someone who was a total stranger to him. However, Scopius may have been bad, but he was still a dad. He doted on Trakeena and therefore he refused to allow her to be involved in his evil deeds, and he wouldn't allow her to even set foot on or even watch a recording of what was going on at a battlefeild.
Naruto sighed and watched as Furio blasted energy bolts from his sword and sent civilians running in a panic. More than once Naruto had to deflect Furio's attacks to keep anyone fron getting killed.
"What are you doing?"
"Live bait works better than dead bait...we'er here to draw out who protects this place. And the dead make for poor messangers." Naruto
Furio grunted, he got the point. He laothed it, but he understood what this Rhycho ranger meant.
Soon enough, the panic caught attention as Leo arrived, and upon seeing the pair causing the havoc, pulled out his Transmorpher and activated the wrist-mounted device that featured a dial set to one of the five Ranger colors, in this case as Leo triggered his ranger powers, red.
"Go Galactic!"
Naruto's eyes gleamed as the guy was suddenly envolped in red light and once it faded, he was wearing a red suit with white gloves and boots and a white torso that had a horizontal black zigzag pattern on it and a red helmet that completely covered his head and had a black, one-way visor where his eyes were.
A ranger!
Naruto twitched with excitement. A ranger...an actual ranger! This was perfect! His coming-of-age as the Green Psycho Ranger! Yes! He loved it! And the leader of the team took if the...well...he supposed the word 'tradition' fit, the red rangers were still the ones calling the shots with these goodie-goodie power rangers. Not to mention if his memories were right, the Power Rangers were allies with Sasuke...he could be the Uchiha's location out of this guy and go butcher the damn prick! Overpower the defenders of Terra Venture, eh? Scorpius knew just how to kill two birds with one stone: prove himself by shattering the rangers and giving them a reason to flee if they survived that trial, not to mention let Sasuke know his allies were useless. Naruto liked working for the bug already.
No way was he letting this pass him by!
"Red Ranger?" Furio snarled, raising his sword and rushing forward to do battle with Leo. However, he was stopped as his head was pushed into the ground. Naruto was the culprit, sitting on Furio's back. The general pulled his head out of the dirt, and glared, "What the hell was that for?"
Naruto slammed Furio's head back into the ground and smashed his fist into his Superior's face with the force of a sledge hammer, knocking him out cold before he turned to Leo. "Hello there, Red Ranger. I'm Psycho Green, and I'll be the one to kick your ass." Naruto said with a smirk under his helmet. The next second, Leo was plowed head-first through a tree and skidded in the dirt afterwards, part of his helmet broken and blood oozing from a wound in his hairline. What the? He hadn't even seen the guy move at all! One second this guy was standing next to Furio, then the next, he'd vanished with a low humming sound and had appeared behind him in a flash of yellow light! The Psycho slammed his foot into Leo's head quickly then vanished with another low hum, appearing in front of him. He swung his foot upwards, knocking Leo back, then vanished before appearing at the right above him where he slammed his fist into Leo's jaw. Vanishing once more, Naruto appeared at his left and flipped as he brought his foot down on Leo in an ax kick… However, what was truly frightening to the red ranger was that all of this happened within a fraction of a second as he suddenly landed on the ground and Naruto appeared in front of him.
Naruto gave a soft chuckle "Get your ass up ranger. My fun is far from over."
Leo stood up shaking all over from the punishment he'd taken, his helmet completely destroyed and his face bloody from the warp-velocity assault.
Naruto smiled under his helmet as Leo rose from the ground. "So you stand! Good, good. Let's see what you've got, Red Ranger!" Naruto said as he beckoned his opponent. Leo glared and dashed forward. He drew the red Quasar Saber and instantly went for a downward slash, but Naruto easily blocked it with his open palm. "Christ kid. You're gonna have to try harder if you want to even scratch me," Naruto uttered. "So this is the extent of the abilities of the ones chosen to wield the legendary Quasar Sabers? Ha!Over 3,000 years awaiting the chosen ones of legend and this is all that those "chosen ones" can do? I'd gotten a harder fight from a Sting winger!"
Leo readied his sword took a stance. Scoffing, Naruto narrowed his eyes on Leo's stance, noting he didn't actually HAVE much of a stance.
"You were never trained to actually use a sword, were you?" He questioned of the red ranger flatly, knowing if that were the case Leo's sword style was practically nonexistent. After all, all he'd know how to do was to swing the damn thing having less to no training with one. Ah well...not that it mattered, couldn't hit what you couldn't catch, and there wasn't a way for this guy to keep up with Hiraishin no jutsu-level speed.
Vanishing and reappering again, Naruto's foot flashed up, catching Leo in the jaw. The ranger's head snapped backwards before a blow to his body had him crashing backwards. Naruto had a very displeased look on his face under his helmet as his fist shot out, slamming against Leo's cheek. Leo cried out painfully as his head nearly twisted all the way around.
Naruto followed up a second later with a brutal open palm strike to the chest. Leo was once again sent rocketing away from the Green Psycho Ranger, blood flowing freely from his mouth. This blood was caused by both the vicious punch to his jaw and the horrendously strong blow to the chest, both of which he suffered from Naruto. Said evil ranger was in front of Leo, boredom running across his covered features. "You really are weak, you know that? When I was given this mission, I expected you to be good sport. Yet now, it seems you aren't fun at all. Just...boring, I hope the others aren't this dull when I hunt them down and waste them." Naruto said as he looked upon the injured ranger.
Feeling outraged that this guy was going to kill his friends, Leo stood tall and leveled the the Lion Quasar Saber at his enemy before Naruto went for a left jab. Leo tilted his head just enough for the strike to only nick his cheek. He winced as he felt the power behind the blow. Immediately forgetting this, Leo brought his sword back to stab the evil green ranger. Naruto moved only a tad, enough to dodge the stab and attacked immediately afterwards, grabbing Leo's wrist and throwing him up into the air. The red ranger quickly righted himself, just in time to suffer a crushing ax kick to his shoulder. The leader of the Galaxy Power Rangers cried out as he was forcibly sent back to the ground. The impact was bone-rattling.
Naruto landed a good bit away from his punching bag, a smirk plastered across his visage. "How pathetic..."
Yawning, Naruto pulled Psycho Red's old sword, the Psycho Saber, out of Hammer Space and walked up to Leo. Cold steel pressed against the back of his neck and Naruto raised it, aiming to decapitate this poor excuse of a power ranger. Honestly, the Phychos had told him these guys were...somewhat tough...considering everything the last ranger team to face the Psycho Rangers had to come up with to beat them. His coming-of-age was a disappointment. So he'd off the second-rate bum that had gotten his hopes up for nothing as payment.
Just as he was about to lop off Leo's head, Naruto suddenly froze and grabbed Leo's skull yanking him to be right in front of him while also scanning him mind and learning everything about him as four beams of energy struck the red ranger's body.
Maya, Kendrix, Damon and Kai, each of them already morphed, ran up to where they were and were horror struck to see the wicked-looking, fun house mockery of a green ranger had used Leo as a shield.
"Leo!" Kendrix shouted then turned on Naruto "What did you do to him?"
"Nothining" Naruto shrugged "If you ask me, your blasters did more damage to this bozo then I did...then again, I just used bare-bones hand-to-hand, you guys used lasers...so I guess that's to be expected...hope you put up a better fight than he did." Naruto said, shoving Leo at the rest of Lost Galaxy Rangers.
Outraged, Maya, Kendrix, and Kai rushed to help Leo up as Damon engaged Naruto.
Naruto snickered and planted the Psycho Saber into the ground before rushing past Damon and lashing out, sending both Kendrix and Maya flying then ducked under Kai and kicked upward sending the blue ranger flying up, nearly slamming into the dome roof. Naruto then jumped up into the air, grabbing Kai by his throat. As they came down Naruto plunged his fist into the blue ranger's face driving him deep into the ground as they landed.
Kendirx attacked at that moment with a flying kick, but the blond teen easily grabbed her by her ankle and spun on in the air and judo tossed the pink ranger from his shoulder and straight into the side of a nearby building and she inpacted it with enough force to where she was slammed through one wall then flew out of the building's other side.
Maya decided to attack at that moment but the Rsycho ranger deftly dodged and he slammed her to the ground and grabbed her wrists as he pulled black on her arms while twisting them as he pressed down on her back with his foot and there was a resounding cracking as he broke her wrists and dislocated both of her shoulders before releasing her.
Naruto whipped around, taking a stance as he did so, while Damon came at him, only for the blond to spin around him and push him to the ground with an open palm. Damon quickly got back to his feet and lunged at the Psycho ranger only for Naruto to slam his palm into Damon's chest and sending him flying back into kendrix as the pink ranger was getting back up.
Kai stood up on shaking legs but Naruto lashed out quickly, tossing several Kunai towards him. The blue ranger evaded them but failed to notice or regonize the explosive notes wrapped around the handles. "Boom." Naruto said darkly and the tags exploded, sending Kai flying away as he turned his back to the flames and stalked towards Damon and Kendrix. Naruto gave a dark chuckle as he jumped into the air and slammed his fist into the ground while releasing a massive amount of chakra from his first at the point of impact. He was a milli-second too slow but it still sent a shockwave rippling through the ground and creating a massive crater.
The Psycho Green Ranger stood with his back to the flames of the explosion where Kai had been Damon however groaned as he got back to his feet and stared at the form of Naruto in the center of the new crater around them.
'Wha...what the hell IS this guy?"
"What's with you guys? I thought this'd be tough, but you can't even scratch me!"
However, Naruto started to sway before falling to one side and disappearing in a plume of smoke. Thr ranger's eyes widened seeing this and looking to the sword that he had stuck in the ground and saw it also poof out of existence.
"What the?" the rangers questioned with disbelief. They suddenly heard mocking laughter and a slow applause, turning quickly he saw Naruto clapping his hands while sitting back building's rooftop, the real Psycho Saber resting across his legs.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu is an amusing little skill, it takes a person's energy and splits it evenly between the original and his copies. The Kage Bunshin also has the unique trait of sending all of its experiences back to the original as well, making it perfect for scouting and training… in essence I could train for a year by only training a day in real time by using a couple hundred of them…" Naruto explained before pushing off of the side of the cliff with his arms crossing.
"However, this is a waist of a powerful technique…making a physical clone with half of one's power should be much more useful than a one-shot that is dispelled with even the slightest damage… However, by allowing it half of my power, it obviously had more than enough power to weaken you all down for me…" Naruto mused to himself and the Lost Galaxy Ranger plainly stared at the blond with horror.
"No way...you mean..." Kendrix said.
"Bingo...I haven't even fought yet!" Naruto shouted, grabbing the Psycho Saber and leaping at the rangers, savoring as he sensed their shocked horror and despare. He walked over to the prone form of the nearest ranger, wich turned out to be Maya, and raised his weapon before bringing the sword down.
However, the resounding clash of metal striking metal rang out before the sword of the Psycho ranger could come into contact with her.
"Hm?" Naruto looked down and saw who was blocking his sword, a wide grin spreading across his face as he did "Well...little red riding hood's still got some bite!"
Leo glared as his Quasar Saber pressed against Naruto's Psycho Saber in a clash for dominance.
"I don't know or care how strong you are, what abilities you have, or even the fact that we all just became rangers two days ago...I'm not loosing anyone else! I lost my brother already and I refuse let anything happen to anyone else!"
"Good! Show me that fire and fight me with everything you've got before I snuff it out and crush your skull in after I force you to watch as I slaughter your friends!" Naruto laughed. He pushed chakra into his arm and pressed down with his sword. Two-day-old rookies...well that explained why they were so bad, at least. But Naruto had to admit, the red one had an admirable character to him. This was only his third day as a ranger and he was facing Naruto like this? Guy knew how to make a stand, the blond would give him that much at least.
"You've got backbone, Red. So that means you just stepped up to the front on the line with who I beat into the ground!" Naruto informed him. Lashing out with a kick, Naruto sent Leo tumbling before he stood only to block the Psycho Saber again. Narito's free hand formed a fist and smashed into Leo's stomach, a silent and pained gasp escaping him along with a small amount of spittle as his body bent over, Naruto's fist being the only thing keeping Leo upright. Naruto continued beating on the red ranger by slamming a vicious headbutt to Leo, sending Leo stumbling, before delivering a jaw-shattering upercut and then moved to quickly duck down and kick Leo's feet out from under him. Naruto then lashed out with a rising vertical slash that went from Leo's hip up to his shoulder, followed by a savage backhand that sent Leo three feet due to his weakened state. Leo pushed himself up again, using his Quasar Saber as a crutch and looked at the Psycho ranger.
Naruto swung his arm forward, causing a large ethereal hand made entirely of red chakra to extend from the limb and Naruto grabbed him with it. Leo sceamed in agony as the raw energy scorched him. The Green Psycho Ranger then swung his arm up and down in a wave-like motion, the chakra arm mimicing his movements and whipping upwards in an arc and then zooming back down, slamming Leo into the ground. Naruto had the chakra arm release Leo and reabsorbed the chakra into his body before walking up to the pain-shattered excuse of a ranger. Naruto looked at him to see Leo trying to push himself up, muttering about how he had to keep his friends safe.
"You are a determined, I'll abmit I admire that...but what good is that alone, you need to put everything you have into gaining experience and getting stronger. While it's vital to have a reason to fight, without devloping your skills, you can't improve and its harder to protect what you care about. Even in the face of certain death, you can't back down. You've got to get as strong and as skilled as you possibly can along with that kind of courage. If you really are ready to comit to that path then those are the things you need. Without strength you cannot protect anything, let alone yourself. Weapons like the Quasar Sabers can't make up for your weakness, it all depends on the one using them. Pity you learn that when you're about to die." Naruto said, raising his sword over his head and got ready to kill the red ranger. However, just as he was about to bring the blade down to end the red ranger, something strange happened.
A red moon appeared over Terra Venture, casting a red light with a cloudy atmosphere, giving the area a blood-red appearance while everything within the red moon's glow took on a grayscale, inverted color. Naruto couldn't care less about the landscape, what concerned him was that as that happened, the rangers he was facing off with had all vanished. As he looked around for them, Naruto say someone standing no more than five feet from him.
The person was male, had dark gray eyes, black hair that hung near his cheeks to frame his face and a long ponytail in the back of his hair but their most distinguishing characteristics were the long pronounced tear troughs under his eyes. His state of dress consisted of a blue V-collar T-shirt and blue pants with a body mesh under the T-shirt, and a white sash around his waist on the outside of the shirt much like a tunic. He also wore a necklace with three metal circles or rings on it.
"What the hell's going on and who are you?" the Psycho ranger demanded.
"Remember the truth." the person said.
"What?"
Then just as soon as it happened, everything faded back to normal, and Naruto saw the rangers were missing. Shaking with furry, Naruto let out a cry of rage and plunged the Psycho Saber into the ground all the way to the hilt.
"Well arn't you the lethal little greenhorn. Don't bother, they took off while you were spacing out."
Naruto jumped before whipping around to see Trakeena leaning against a building.
"You saw that?" the blond asked incredulously. Wasn't she suppose to stay off the battlefield according to Scorpus?
"I get restless stuck on the ship all the time, and someone needed to report to my father how you did. I'm pretty sure my father AND Furio won't be happy with you for attacking a superior the way you did."
'Adventure-starved, eh? Well all the more power to you then seeing as you're willing to force-feed yourself to the lion for the sake of having some fun. Still, your dad's NOT gonna like this...' Naruto thought, he swore that sounded fimilar to him, but thinking about it made his head hurt for some reason.
"Eh...The purpose of the Psycho Rangers was to bury the Goodie-Goodie Rainbow Whimps, it's my job to beat those guy into the ground along with anyone who tries stealing my prey," Naruto told her with a shrug "If Scorpius doesn't like it, I'll just go solo and beat him to giving those rangers a whooping."
Trakeena laughed at what the blond called their enemies. Goodie-Goodie Rainbow Whimps? That sounded like the title of some incredibly lame super-sentai show. She had to admit, it made the rangers look less formidable, which was always a good thing with crushing an enemy. If they seemed intimidating, it was harder to want to fight them rather than run away.
"Well if that's the way its gotta be done then that's how you've gotta do it, I suppose. But if that's the case, why'd you stop before you finished the red ranger?"
Naruto shrugged "No idea what happened, just that it was weird." he then proceeded to explain the event he'd been caught in that had given the rangers time to escape.
Trakeena put her hands on her hips and looked at him "You're right...that IS weird..."
Naruto nodded"So while we're waiting for Furio to wake up, what do you want to do?"
"Saw a diner close by, up for it?"
Naruto shrugged "Well don't see why not only so long as its because of there being time to burn and isn't a date..."
Trakeena nodded, her father would be watching the projected memories after all, if he saw anything beyong the beating the rangers got, the guy was toast. Parents...what were you gonna do?
Scorpus wasn't pleased that Furio had nothing to report unpon hearing Furio had been knocked out. But Trakeena had taken it upon herself to strap herself into the memory progector and showed the way Naruto had basically chewed up and spat out the rangers, Scorpus was impressed. There was, howerver, something else on his mind.
"Trakeena...what were you doing on a battlefield?" he asked.
"Scorpus, it's my fault, I took her there with me to show the rangers what I'd do to them if so much as look in Trakeena's general direction with hostility." Naruto said, covering her being there to spar Trakeena her father's wrath.
"WHAT? HOW DARE YOU TAKE MY DAU...!" Before the giant arachnid could continue, Trakeena quickly stepped in front of Naruto with her arms spread wide at her sides in a defensive manner as though to shield the blond from her father. And knowing her father's anger, that was exactly what she was doing.
"Daddy...if he did all that to the rangers just to warn them to stay away from me, isn't that a good thing?" Trakeena asked, returning the favor.
Scorpus calmed down and thought that over.
"True..." he mumbled then spoke up more loudly, "Very well...Psycho Green! From this point forth, you're to be Trakeena's personal bodyguard and obey orders solely from her."
"WHAT!" Naruto shouted.
"Is there a problem?" Scorpus asked with his many eyes narrowing dangerously.
"N-No sir, not at all! I'm just surprised that you're giving me such insurmountably important task when I haven't been here for even a full two days. Bit overwhelmed." Naruto said quickly with his hands raised in front of him in a placating manner.
His answer was accepted and Trakeena, seeing her role in this done, walked out of the command bridge, her new bodyguard at her heels. To anyone watching, it would simply be seen as the Psycho Green Ranger getting jump on his new position, when in actuality, his intent was to give the princess he was now charged with safeguarding a piece of his mind.
"You did that on purpose!" he whispered angerly at her through clenched teeth.
Trakeena turned back to him with a smirk at his accusation.
"So? Better than being destroyed right? Now come along pet."
Trakeena turned on her heel and left the gobsmacked Psycho ranger in her wake.
'Did she just call me her...?' Naruto thought and sighed, hunching over and hanging his head with a look of resignation and doom covered by his helmet. He had the feeling this was the start of things getting really complicated for him.
He had NO IDEA how true that was...
