Young Justice: Shinobi Chapter 3
Welcome to Happy Harbor
Star City, July 17, 2010
It was late at night at the Star City docks, and there was a robbery at docks by a group of thugs. The leader of the group is Brick, a gang boss and one of Green Arrow's arch foes. Brick had bright orange skin, was about 7 feet tall, short white hair in a pony tail, and was wearing a fancy tailor suit.
During the heist, Brick's men were loading stolen cases from one truck to their own they parked next to it. The cases were full of new high tech weapons, like new laser pistols. As they were about load the first case into the truck, a trick arrow landed in between the thugs carrying the cases, and then it suddenly explodes, knocking them down. One of the guns that were in the case came out, and Brick picked it up. He aimed it at the where the arrow came from, and the one who shot was Roy Harper, AKA Speedy.
"You again!" Brick Explained. Speedy didn't reply and just kept glaring at him. "I'm starting to feel insulted that Green Arrow isn't messing up my operations personally anymore." Speedy scowled.
Brick then began firing at him, but Speedy leapt through the beams he was on with acrobatic skills. He then ran across a platform while avoiding getting shot, he then fired a direct hit with an explosive arrow at Brick's laser pistol, but he was unfazed by the explosion while it tore his suit.
"Do you know what I pay for a suit my size?!" he yelled at the young archer. He turned to his gang. "Kill him."
As they aimed their weapons at Speedy they were suddenly ambushed by Kid Flash, Robin and Aqua lad. Kid Flash knocked one guy down with his speed. Robin used batarangs to knock the other two guns out of their hands, then Aqualad knocked them down with his water bearer whips.
Brick then lifted a piece of the dock's concrete floor and tossed it at Speedy, but he ducked the fired another explosive arrow at him. It only done minimal damage to the brute, and he tossed another large rock at him. Aqualad stepped in and used his water bearer blade to slice in half. Speedy then fired another trick arrow, surrounding Brick in a thick cloud of smoke.
"The cave is perfect," Aqualad said turning to Speedy. "It has everything we need." Robin suddenly jumped behind them while Kid Flash ran up the wall and stopping in front of them.
"For covert missions, you know, spy stuff." Robin said.
"Wait until you see Shinobi, Superboy, and Miss Martian." Kid Flash said. "But I saw her first."
Brick then chucked another rock at them, but they evaded the attack except for Aqualad who used his water bearer mace to smash it into pieces. Speedy then launched three more explosive arrows at him with little success; Brick was too durable for the explosive arrows.
Brick chuckled. "Tell Arrow he shouldn't send little boys to do a man's job." Speedy then loaded his next arrow at him. Brick smirked, then held out his arms. "Go ahead."
Speedy then launched the arrow at Brick, and it managed to hit him. But unlike the other ones, this one didn't explode; instead, thick red foam began growing out of it in a fast rate. Brick was immobilized by the foam and couldn't break free.
"High density polyurethane foam," Kid Flash said after coming up to the archer. Then gave him thumbs up. "Nice."
Speedy didn't respond and was walking away without saying a word until Robin spoke. "So, Speedy, you in?" he asked.
"Pass." He said dryly, causing them to frown. "I'm done letting Arrow and the League telling me what to do. I don't need a babysitter or a clubhouse hangout with the other kids. Your Junior Justice League is a joke. Something to keep you busy and in your place." He then began to walk out, leaving the shocked young heroes. "I don't want any part of it."
July 18, 2010, Mount Justice
Recognized: Shinobi, B-06. The Zeta Tube computer said before Naruto came in through the teleporters.
Naruto was currently wearing civilian clothes consisting of an orange hoodie, black shirt underneath that can be seen through the torso, blue jeans, and black combat boots, around his neck was the same red scarf he wears in his hero uniform. Naruto was also carrying a backpack with him.
After he came to the League's universe, Naruto stayed at the tower of fate to live since he didn't have an identity in their world yet or had enough money to buy his own place, he decided to stay at the Tower of Fate to live and train during his time in the League's world. And since the the Tower of Fate was filled with knowledge of this new world, Naruto decided to stay there and learn about this new world until he was ready to live among everyone else. He'd learned a long time ago in his world that it's better be prepared than unprepared, especially coming to an unknown place.
Ever since the Cave opened by the League, Naruto decided to move in there to know his team better. Kent thought it was a good idea since Naruto needed to learn more about the world around him and needs to make of home of his own if he really can belong in this new world. Naruto brought his cloths, favorite cup ramen, weapons and his ninjustu scrolls from Kent's tower to the cave where he can do more training there.
During the past two weeks after the team was assembled, Naruto started to get to know his newest teammates more. He has trained with Robin before and they hit it off pretty well, he became one of Robin's best friends. He was impressed with Robin for his skills and at such a young age. Robin was also impressed with Naruto because he too learned how to fight at young age as well.
Then there is Kid Flash, Wally West, the two became really good friends too. Naruto saw himself in Wally back when he was back in his world and saw him as a younger brother. Sometimes he can get a little annoyed with his antics, especially how he flirts with girls like M'gann. Wally also has respect with Naruto, for his skills and his loyalty to his friends. Naruto is like a big brother to Wally.
As for Aqualad, the two were also good friends and Naruto came to respect him for maturity and his loyalty to his friends, he see's Aqualad potential to become their leader. Aqualad has high respect for Naruto, even though they just became friends during their mission at Cadmus they have great trust in each other.
As for Superboy, to the clone, Naruto was like a brother to him. The two get along really well, and out of all his teammates, Naruto is in fact the only one Superboy listens to. He learns from Naruto, and Naruto helps Superboy becomes more social and hang out with their new team. To Superboy, Naruto is his first friend and his best friend.
Then there is the other newest member of the team, Miss Martian. The two became really good friends. The two have a lot of common, since they are both new on Earth; even though M'gann comes from another planet while Naruto comes from another dimension. Something Naruto likes to do around M'gann is to tease her about her crush on Superboy, he finds it funny. It was pretty obvious to everyone, expect for Kid Flash and Superboy himself, that the she has a huge crush on the clone. To Naruto, M'gann is like the younger sister he never had.
"I have to say, I am going to like this." Naruto said. "Very roomy here." He observed all round and the place was very big and probably covers up the whole mountain.
"Shinobi!" Miss Martian greeted as she floated over and hugged him. Superboy walked by with a small smile.
Miss Martian was currently wearing a red skirt, white blouse, and a red jacket over it. As a Martian, her skin is was still green. Superboy was wearing black T-shirt with the crest of the house of El on it, a pair of jeans, a brown jacket and black combat boots.
"Oh, Miss Martian, Superboy, morning. " Naruto greeted back with his own smile. "Do you know where the others are?"
"Are right here." Wally said heading their way with Robin and Aqualad after walking out of the Zeta Tubes.
Robin was wearing black pants, a black hoodie, a green shirt, black sneakers, and a pair of black sunglasses to hide his identity from anyone who didn't know who he was.
Wally wore a long-sleeved yellow shirt, short brown sleeve jacket, a pair of jeans, and red sneakers.
Kaldur wore a blue long-sleeved jacket that is zipped up, black pants, and unlike the others wearing no shoes. Since Kaldur is an Atlantean, he doesn't have a secret identity due to his webbed hands and feet.
Wally walked up gave Naruto a high-five. "Yo, Naruto, my man, how you've been."
"I've been good." Naruto said. "Oh yeah, a little bat told me that you guys ran into Speedy last night. How did it go? Did he want in?" The three looked down.
Aqualad shook his head. "No, he said he didn't want in."
"Yeah," Wally said in depressed tone, then quickly perked right back up. "Anyways, sensors show that Tornado is heading our way right now. He might have our first mission for us."
Naruto set down his bag and put his hands behind his back. "Well, only one way to find out."
They all then walked out through the front entrance while M'gann just flew out. After they made it outside, they see Red Tornado came down to the ground slowly through a crimson colored tornado from the lower half of his body.
"Red Tornado!" Wally greeted with a wave.
"Greetings." The android replied. "Is there a reason why you intercepted me at the cave?"
"We hoped you have a mission for us." Aqualad said.
"Mission assignments are Batman's priority." Red Tornado said.
"But it's been over a week," Robin complained. "and nothing-"
Naruto put a hand on his shoulder. "Easy, Boy Wonder, over a week or not, it's too early to cause trouble."
"You will be tested soon enough," Red Tornado said. "For the time being, simply enjoy each others company."
Aqualad stepped up. "This team is not a social club."
"No," Red Tornado agreed before he continued. "but I am told social interaction is an important team building exercise. Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourselves with the cave." He then proceeded to the Cave.
"Keep busy!" Wally hissed.
"Does he think we're falling for this?" Robin said.
"Oh! I'll find out!" M'gann said. she narrowed he eyes towards the retreating android, trying to use he telepathy, but changed to disappointed expression. "I-I'm Sorry, I forgot, he's a machine, inorganic. I can't read his mind."
"Nice try though," Wally said as he steppe closer to her. "So, know what I'm think right now?" Naruto rolled his eyes while Robin elbowed the speedster.
"We all know what you're thinking right now." Robin said.
"So now, we tour the clubhouse." Aqualad said.
"I for one think it's a good idea." Naruto said getting their attention. "Our team is still new, and we all need to know each other better if we want our team to succeed in missions. And we should know our headquarters better."
"Well, Superboy and I live here." M'gann said. "We can play tour guides." They all turned to Superboy.
"Don't look at me." He said.
"We won't." Wally said then looked back at M'gann with flirtatious eyes. "A private tour sound much more fun."
"She never said private." Robin hissed.
"Team building, we'll all go." Aqualad said.
"Then I say, let the tour begin." Naruto said cheerfully while putting his hand behind his back as they began heading back inside.
"This would be the front door and one the other side would be the back door." M'gann said as she led them around the Cave. "Down this way is the kitchen and bathrooms, right here is the living room, the bedrooms are over there, the gym is down the hall that way, that hallway probably leads to the holographic room, but I'm not sure. The Cave is actually the entire mountain."
"It was hollowed out and reinforced by Green Lantern and Superman in the early days of the League." Kid Flash explained as they entered the Cave's secondary hall, half-filled with an underground freshwater pool.
"I've got a question, if this place is practically invisible to the public eye, why did the League abandoned it?" Naruto asked.
"The Cave's location was compromised." Aqualad said.
"So they traded it for a tourist trap? Yeah, that makes sense." Superboy said sarcastically.
"If villains know about the Cave, then we must be in constant alert." M'gann said.
"The bad guys know we know they know about this place." Robin said taking the Martian's hand. "They never think to look here."
M'gann looked confused. Naruto then stepped up. "I think he means we're hiding in plain sight. True, the bad guys know about this place, but they don't know that the League is using it again for us. They don't expect a thing."
"Ah," she said. "That does make sense. By the way, Shinobi, when you came here, you had a backpack with you. What's it for?" she asked getting the team to look at the ninja.
"It had all of my stuff." Naruto replied before scratching the back of his head looking a little sheepish. "Guess I forgot to tell you guys sooner, but today I'm moving into the Cave. Is there a room that I can stay in?"
"We don't mind having you here and we've got plenty of spare rooms." M'gann said with a smile on her face. "You're more than welcome to stay here." That got Naruto smiling too. Superboy smiled a bit too, until he smelled something in the air.
"I smell smoke." Superboy said.
M'gann's gasped with widened eyes. "My cookies!" She then flew right to the kitchen, where smoke was drifting out of the oven. She used her telekinesis to open the oven doors and take the tray out and rested it on the counter. On it were a dozen burned blackened cookies. "I was trying to make Granny Jones recipe from episode 17 of… ah, heh, never mind. Sorry that they're ruined"
Naruto raised an eyebrow at first but decided to ignore it whatever it was. He has his own secrets he wants to hide, and she has hers. "It was nice of you to make them, and I'm sure they would've tasted great."
"Yeah, I mean, he doesn't seem to mind." Robin said referring to Wally who was actually eating the burned cookies, much to everyone's amazement.
"What? I have a serious metabolism." Wally shrugged.
"I'll make more." M'gann offered.
"It was still sweet of you to make any." Kaldur said.
"Thank you, Aqualad." She said.
"We're off duty, my name is Kaldur'ahm." He said smiling. "Actually, my friends call me Kaldur."
"I'm Wally." He said before leaning on the counter staring at the Martian. "I already trust you with my secret identity."
"Man, where's your off switch?" Naruto said to the speedster, causing the others to laugh except for Wally who just glared at him. "Anyways, most of you know my name; Naruto Uzumaki, but Naruto will do."
"Also, don't bother with Robin." Naruto gestured to the Boy Wonder. "Batman keeps him from telling anyone revealing his name."
"Well, my name isn't a secret, it's Megan Morse. Well, my real name is really M'gann M'orzz, but I'm trying out Megan while doing the whole being-on Earth thing and all." She said.
Superboy turned and left with a blank expression on his face, feeling jealous that he doesn't have a real name just yet, but he honestly didn't cared that much and just shrugged it off. M'gann looked at him with sorrowful look.
"Don't worry Superboy," M'gann gently said using telepathy, catching the clone by surprise, "We'll find you a Earth name someday."
"Get out of my head!" Superboy yelled at the Martian. They all turned to M'gann and she returned their expressions in confusion.
"What's wrong? Everyone on Mars communicates telepathically." She said to them mentally, causing the others shifting uncomfortably hearing her voice in their minds.
"M'gann, stop!" Kaldur said. "Things are different on Earth. Here, your powers are an extreme invasion of privacy."
"And Superboy has a bad experience with telepathy when Cadmus' psychic G-Gnomes tried to take control of his mind." Naruto added.
"Oh, I'm sorry." M'gann said sincerely. "I didn't know."
"Just stay out!" Superboy said before he stormed out
"I will, I'm sorry." she replied still little depressed, then perked up after she got an idea. "Hello Megan! I know what we can do. Meet me at the hanger. Also, we should get Superboy too, we shouldn't leave him alone in here."
"I'll go look for him." Naruto said before leaving the room. As he walking down the room to find Superboy, he decided to talk to his his tailed beast now that M'gann is not in his head anymore. "Yo, Kurama, you awake."
Kurama yawned. "I was napping until now, kit. What's seems to be the problem this time?"
"The problem is that M'gann was in my mind and could've seen my memories or your presence in here. Why didn't you block her out?"
"For one reason, I was asleep." Naruto rolled his eyes. "Second was because I forgot she was a telepath like Martian Manhunter, I'd figure you didn't need my mental shielding."
"Now I need it more often now. There is a good chance that she might be able to sense your mind too If she goes into mine again. This my chance to be part of a new team with new friends, and I don't want to blow it because of our little secret about your identity."
"I see your point. Especially since demons like myself aren't exactly welcomed in this dimension." Kurama nodded. "But I'm just telling you, kit, it will only be a matter of time before I am discovered. Your new teammates aren't idiots, plus you're now living under the same roof with a telepath right now, they'll figure it out eventually. It might be best to tell them when you have the chance."
"Kurama, I get what you're trying to tell me, but I feel that I should only tell them when the time is right and when I feel that they're ready."
He walked into the Superboy's room and found him there. "Hey Superboy, M'gann wants to show us something at the hanger, something fun. Want to join in?"
Superboy actually smiled a bit to him and shrugged. "Sure, I don't see why not." He then proceed to walk with Naruto. Superboy can really relax around Naruto, he was the one to get him on the right path and accepted him as regular person. To the Kryptonian clone, Naruto was his first friend and they get along pretty well.
They all walked down to the garage and they see a red oval shaped craft with black lining. "It's my Martian bioship." M'gann said excitingly.
"Cute. Not aerodynamic, but cute." Wally said. Naruto didn't admit this often during his time on Earth, but he could agree with the speedster. M'gann's ship did not look that impressive.
"It's at rest, silly. I'll wake it." M'gann said before the ship suddenly changed form like the metal changed into liquid. The ship then gained large wings, making it more like an impressive ship.
The bio ship then levitated up; turned around and a door morphed from the back and opened an entrance for them. M'gann began walking towards the ship while the others stood there. She turned to them. "Well, are you coming?" she asked.
Uncertain at first, but Naruto and the others complied and enter inside the ship. They all soon made their way to cockpit of the ship and everyone made took a seat in the chairs the ship made for them before it strapped them in. M'gann sat on a chair on a different seat acting as the captains chair, where she'll pilot ship from.
"Red Tornado, please open the bay doors." M'gann said to communicate to the android, which he complied and open the doors.
The ship then flew out of the doors and M'gann began piloting the ship through the air at high speed.
"This is incredible!" Robin exclaimed peering at the ocean.
"She sure is." Wally said staring at M'gann dreamingly. Naruto rolled his eyes again from his antics while M'gann looked at him. "I mean, the ship, like all ships is a she." Wally countered nervously.
Naruto turned to Wally with a sly smile. "Real smooth, man, real smooth." He said sarcastically.
"Fast on his feet, not so much with his mouth." Robin said to the Martian.
"Dudes!" Wally said.
As they others were talking, Kaldur decided to talk with Superboy after his outburst with M'gann back at the cave.
"I don't need to have psychic powers to guess what you are thinking right now." the Atlantean said. "You overreacted and you're not sure how to apologize. Just say you're sorry." However the clone didn't reply.
M'gann just looked at him sadly, Naruto noticed this and decided to ease off the pressure on her. "He'll come around. He just has a hard time expressing himself to people."
"He doesn't seem to like me that much." she replied.
"You guys do realize that he has super-hearing, right?" Wally reminds them. Superboy didn't look at them, but the Martian and ninja were a little embarrassed.
"Hey, how about showing us a little Martian shape shifting?" Robin asked the Martian, trying to change topic. Mg'ann stood up after everyone turned to her direction. Then she changed into a female version of Robin. The twirled around and changed into a female version of Kid Flash.
"Is it wrong that I think I'm hot?" Wally asked while having a goofy grin on his face. Naruto just rolled his eyes and shook his head. He was now seeing how his former teammates felt when he acted like an idiot.
"Impressive," Robin said while clapping. "but you're not exactly going to fool anyone with those."
"Mimicking boys is a lot harder." M'gann admitted sheepishly. Then suddenly a cloud of smoke appeared in the room, after the smoke cleared Red Tornado suddenly appeared standing in same spot Naruto was in, much to everyone's shock.
"Greetings, Team." he said in his synthesized voice.
"Red Tornado?" Superboy said in awe.
"But how?" Wally asked. "You stayed behind at the cave. How did you-"
"Gotcha." Then suddenly another puff of smoke appeared covering the android and revealed Naruto in his place with a big mischievous grin on his face. "Had you fooled, didn't I?"
"Whoa, Naruto?" Wally said in surprise. "You can shape shift too?"
"Well, not exactly. It's called my transformation jutsu, by concentrating my chakra, it allows me to mirror the image and voice of the person I choose." Naruto explained.
"Hold on. Chakra? What's that?" M'gann asked.
"To put it simply, it's the source of my powers." Naruto answered. "Chakra is the combination of both physical and spiritual energy that exists in every single living being on the planet, such as people, animals and plants. I have the ability to manipulate my chakra and use them for my ninja art abilities."
"I can tell, Naruto's technique allowed him to mimic the clothing of the person he chose," Aqualad said to M'gann. "but what about you?"
"My cloths are organic, just like the ship, they respond to my mental commands." She said.
"As long as they are the only ones." Superboy huffed. M'gann looked down. Wally then looked at her having a sad expression on her face.
"Don't mind him, Cadmus's telepathic lab rats left a bad taste in his brain." She nodded. Wally then turned to Naruto. "Say, Naruto, what else can you do with that chakra stuff?"
Naruto then turned with a sly smile. "Believe me, you'll find out." Wally groaned.
"Oh man, I hate it when he says stuff like that." He then turned to M'gann. "What about you, Ms. M, can you do that ghosting through walls thing like Martian Manhunter can?"
"Density shifting? No, it's very a advanced technique." She responded.
"Flash can vibrate his molecules to phase through walls." Robin said then points at Wally. "When he tries it; bloody nose." He said with a chuckle.
"Dude!" Wally hissed, not wanting to be embarrassed in front of a pretty girl.
"Here's something I can do." M'gann said. Around them, the ship seemed to fade way completely, along with them. "Camouflage mode." She said.
"Red Tornado to Miss Martian." A sudden robotic voice called over a communicator in the ceiling. "An emergency alarm has been triggered at the Happy Harbor Power Plant. I suggest you investigate covertly. I am sending you the coordinates now."
"Received." M'gann said in a new serious tone. "Adjusting trajectory."
Robin sighed. "Tornado's just keeping us busy again."
"It's not like we have anything better to do." Superboy said after remaining silent for a while.
"Besides, a small fire is what led us to find Superboy." Naruto pointed out. "Might as well as see what caused this small emergency."
"I think I know why." Wally said gesturing to his right. They all turned and all see a tornado heading their way.
M'gann tried to avoid it, but the current pulled them into the funnel of the tornado. They were spinning around in the twister and seemed to be no end to it. Luckily, M'gann was able to pilot the ship out of the twister before getting any serious damage. She then gently landed the ship into the parking lot, and they stepped right out watching the workers evacuating from the building.
"Remind me, are tornados common in Rhode Island?" Naruto asked.
"I'm not sure they are." Kaldur replied before turning to face his team. He noticed they're missing someone. "Where's Robin?" They looked around but there was no sign of him, except for his mischievous laugh that looked it came from inside the building.
"But he was just here?" M'gann said.
"Believe us, he does that a lot." Wally replied before they all rushed inside the power plant.
Inside the building, Robin was knocked into a wall by a gust of wind. The wind came from a robot, or someone in a armored mech-suit. Said suit was red with black highlights, about ten feet tall, with oversized hands and a brown, ragged scarf wrapped around it's neck and lower jaw, and large, blue cables were attached to it's arms, and ended at a large, backpack-like device on it's back.
The others then entered the building, and saw their newest adversary. Superboy came over and helped Robin up.
"Whose you're new friend?" Superboy asked.
"Didn't catch his name, but he plays kind of rough." Robin replied.
"My apologizes," said the armored villain in a synthesized voice. "You may address me as Mister Twister."
Superboy then charged at the villain, but Twister created two tornados that stopped him in his tracks. Then the tornados blew the clone right into a wall. The others made their attack next against Twister. Wally rushed with speed and attempted to jump kick him, but Twister easily stopped him with his wind manipulation to stop him in mid air and send him flying outside.
Naruto used his transformation jutsu to switch to his Shinobi outfit and began his attack. He threw a Hirashin kunai at the villain, but it was redirected by wind and got stuck on the ceiling.
"Okay, not what I was going for, but-" Naruto said before he quickly teleported to where his kunai. "I think this could work."
Kaldur and M'gann tried to attack Twister next, but just like before, he sent flying right into the wall. "I was prepared to be challenged by a superhero, I was not prepared, however, to face children." Twister mocked.
"We're not children!" Robin said before throwing explosive disks at the armored villain, but Twister used small tornados to redirect the blast away before the disks detonate.
"Objectively you are." Twister said as he easily flicked one of the explosive disks before it detonated.
"And tell us, we're you prepared for this?" Naruto asked before piercing him with his two kunai blades, however they barely sank deep. "Okay, that is some high quality battle armor."
"You'd managed to get the drop on me before my sensors found you; impressive." Twister said to the ninja. Then he grabbed him off his back and threw him near the others. "But your little toys cannot hurt me."
"Maybe that didn't hurt you, but maybe this will!" Naruto said as he did a hand-sign, causing the explosive tags on Twister's back and Twister to recoiled from the explosion. Robin then threw more explosive disks at him before being blown aside before the explosion, just like before.
They then attacked Twister again, but with little success. When Miss Martian used her telekinesis on a machine and surrounded him in a cloud of smoke, Superboy jumped in for an attack, but was blown back by a blast of wind right into the Martian. Kaldur and Robin then charged at the armored villain next, but he stopped them with small tornados he manipulated.
It was Naruto's turn next. First he made six shadow clones to surround Twister, before they jumped in and attack. Twister didn't have enough time to use his wind abilities, so instead, he knocked them away with his armors enhanced strength.
"Your little duplicates are no match for me, boy." Twister said.
"They weren't suppose to be, they were just the distraction. Superboy, fastball!" Naruto yelled as he held out his hand. Superboy grabbed it and threw at Mister Twister. Twister saw this and sent a gust of wind at Naruto but the ninja took out chakra blades, channel his chakra to them, and and spun him. The wind spun him faster so he drilled through the wind and right at Twister like a missile.
"What?!" Twister said as Naruto managed to stab and tackled Twister out of the power plant. Twister skidded on the ground and Naruto landed on top of him with his chakra blades still in the armored villain. Before Naruto could do anything else, Twister grabbed him and got back up with eyes glowing.
"You are different. You've proven yourself a greater challenge than the others." Twister said angrily. "No matter, you and your friends are still no match for me." He then tossed Naruto aside and causing him to skid on the ground.
Naruto was trying to get up; he looked to see Mister Twister in front of him, getting ready to kill him with a armored punch. Before he did, Wally rushed in high speed and helped Naruto up before Twister made his move. Wally then rushed up to the ninja after getting back up.
"You okay?" Wally asked the ninja. Naruto nodded.
"Other than my pride, nothing broken." Naruto replied.
"What did he do to our team?" Wally asked.
"Embarrassed them largely." Twister said before launching a large tornado at Wally. The latter got caught in the wind and was heading straight for a wall, until M'gann caught him in time with her telekinesis and gently lowered him down.
"I got you, Wally." She said.
"Thanks." He replied.
"You again?" Twister said. "I would have thought you children would learn your limitations by now."
He then turned around to see Naruto throw a kunai at him with some of his wind chakra flow in it. Twister, realizing the danger from his weapon, evaded the attack. Naruto smirked, and Hirashined to where the kunai was flying. Then used Beast Wave Palm at him, doing some little damage to him, but still seemed unfazed, then hovered up in the air to gain distance from the young heroes.
"Okay, I stand corrected; that is some real high quality battle armor." Naruto said after his attack failed.
"What do you want?" Kaldur shouted at the armored villain.
"Isn't it obvious?" Twister said. "I am waiting for a real hero. Be good little kids and bring out the Justice League. I'm sure they will put up much more of a fight."
Kaldur turned to M'gann. "Read his mind! Find to see he has a weakness."
"I-I though I wasn't suppose to do that!" she said.
"It's okay when it's the bad guys!" Robin said.
M'gann nodded, then focused at Twister, eyes glowed, and tried to read his mind. Except for one problem. "Nothing, I'm getting nothing!" she said before slapping herself on the forehead and smiling. "Hello, Megan! Mr. Twister is Red Tornado in disguise!" Everyone stared at her surprised. "Think about it, he's inorganic, an android! And how many androids do you know that can generate tornados?"
"Red Tornado sent us here."
"After saying we'd tested soon enough," Robin barked. "This is his test! Something to keep us busy!"
"Speedy called it, we are a joke." Wally said.
Naruto had to think about it though, he's not sure that the League would do something like this just to test them before a mission. "Well Kurama, is this really Red Tornado? I know the Senjutsu training I learned during my time here gave me sensory ability, but I just can't tell. Is that really Red Tornado, or is he really an imposter."
"To tell you the truth, kid, I'm not sure myself." Kurama said. "True, your sage training has given you sensory ability, but it only works on the organic, as well does my ability to sense an enemies negative emotions. Red Tornado is a machine; this guy is one too probably. They don't any possess chakra or real emotions. I can't tell if that is the real Red Tornado or not."
"This game is so over." Wally said as he, Robin, and Kaldur were walking towards the android.
"We know who you are, and what you want!" Robin called out.
"So let's end this!" Kaldur said.
"Consider it ended." Twister said in a menacing tone. He then raised his hands in the air, generated two tornados and hurled them up to the sky, beginning to create a large storm cloud above them.
"An impressive show, but we will not indulge you, we will not engage!" Kaldur called out to the android, still believing that this fight is not real. Suddenly, lightning began to form from the clouds behind the villain, surprising the young heroes.
"Um, can Red Tornado do that?" Wally asked in confusion.
"You think I'm Tornado? Ironic." Twister said before launching a lightning blast at them. The bolt hit the ground, causing an explosion pushing them back.
Superboy got back up after getting hit by the blast, then jumped high right at Twister, but the android fired anther bolt of lightning at the Kyrptonian clone, causing him to fall back to the ground in pain. Then a wind-chakra flowed kunai flew in at Twister, but Twister used his wind abilities to slow down it's speed and stopping it. then Naruto Hirashined to the kunai, then drove it into Twister's armored shoulder. The armored villain then grabbed Naruto with his massive hand, shocked with him electricity, and threw him down to the others. Twister was then moving closer to them with hands crackling electricity, but before he was about to attack, the team then suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes. Little does he know, M'gann placed the bio ship in between them in camouflage mode, to make it looked like they disappeared.
"Fine then," Twister said before he hovered higher up in the air. "I won't deny that you children have power, but playing hide and seek with you will not help achieve my objectives. So stay concealed. If you confront me again, I will show, no, mercy." He said with electricity crackling in his hands before he flew off into the city.
"What happened?" Wally asked as he sat up.
"I put the Bioship between us." M'gann explained.
Superboy then got up on his feet and punched a large rock in anger. "And that's suppose to make it right?" he said walking up to the Martian. "You tricked us into believing Twister was Red Tornado!"
Naruto stepped in between them. "Calm down, Superboy. She didn't know; it was a rookie mistake."
"Well right now, we can't afford to make anymore mistakes." Robin said before pointing at the direction Twister went off to. "We have to stop him before he kills someone in the town."
"You are pretty inexperienced," Kid Flash said to her looking a bit ashamed. "Hit the showers, we'll take it from here."
"You heard him." Superboy growled. "Go back to the Cave and stay out of our way." Then he leapt high right into the direction to the town while Kid Flash and Robin followed while the former used his super speed to catch up faster.
Naruto turned to see M'gann on her knees and looking down with a heartbroken expression on her face. "I was just trying to be part of the team." She said while sounding like she was about to cry.
"To be honest, I'm not sure we really have a team." Kaldur said grimly. He turned to Naruto, the latter nodded before the Atlantean took off. Naruto turned to M'gann, who is still looking sad, before walking up to and tried to help her up on her feet.
"We are part of a team," Naruto said to the Martian. "but out team is still new and a team, no matter how new it is, always stick together fights by their teammates."
"What do we do now?" she asked him while looking at him.
"Simple," Naruto said. "We come with an actual plan, go back there, and help them."
"We'd only get be getting in their way." M'gann said looking away looking sad. Naruto sighed and looked at her.
"And you think heading home and leaving them behind to that mad man is a better idea?" Naruto questioned her. "Forget about what they said before, we've got to back!"
"You're right." M'gann said now out her depressed state and to a determined look. "We should call in Red Tornado; he's the only one whose close enough to help."
"We're calling in Red Tornado for help?" Naruto said with a slight anger and disbelief in his voice. "M'gann, that maniac is doing this to get someone in the League's to fight him. We'd only be giving him what he wants by calling in Tornado."
The Martian sighed. "I know, but it wouldn't hurt but to try and ask for help. Maybe he can help us beat him somehow." Naruto thought about it, then nodded to her. "Red Tornado, this is Ms. Martian, do you read me?"
A hologram screen of Red Tornado appeared on the windshield of the ship. "Affirmative, Miss Martian, what is it you wish to inform?"
"Right now, there is this guy, Mister Twister, he is wrecking the town, and the rest of our team went off to fight him." Naruto quickly explained. "He has the same powers as you do, including being unable to have his mind read."
"He is attacking innocent people and won't stop until he fights someone in the Justice League. We could really use your help." M'gann said.
"If I intervened, it would not be to help." The robot replied. "Still it is an odd coincident that this Twister shares my elemental abilities and my immunity to telepathy."
"What are you trying to tell us?" Naruto asked.
"I am giving you, as you humans say, hints to aid in creating a formulated plan to beat this Twister." Tornado said. "As a team, it is very important to formulate a strategy when dealing with the enemy. Strategy is the key in winning, and this is a fight you all have to finish." He said before signing off.
"Well that went well." Naruto said sarcastically.
"What do we do now?" M'gann asked.
"Take Tornado's advise; like he said, we need a plan to beat that blowhard Twister and fast." Naruto said with in a thinking pose.
M'gann thought for a moment before smiling and slapping her forehead again. "Hello Megan!"
"You've got a plan." he asked.
"Yeah, lets go help the others." M'gann said as she piloted the ship find Twister.
In the meantime the rest of the Team were busy fighting Mister Twister when he tried to attack the town. The evil android thought that by attacking a town filled with innocent civilians would draw the attention of a hero or someone from the Justice League. But instead he got, Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, and Superboy, all looking for a rematch. They managed to deal a few blows to the armored villain, but were still no match for him.
They are just taking turns trying to attack him with no real plan or teamwork. Every time they try and attack Twister, he manages to avoid their attacks and beat them away with his wind abilities.
After they got back up, Wally noticed Robin taking out his utility belt and strapped around him from his shoulder to opposite thigh. "You'd brought your utility belt with you?" the speedster asked.
"Never leave home without it." Robin said. "First thing Batman ever taught me."
"Yeah, right after 'never go to the bathroom without it'." Wally joked.
"Everyone, listen to me." M'gann said to the others using telepathy.
"What did we tell you?!" Superboy growled.
"I know!" she replied. "and I know I messed up but me and Naruto have a plan. For it to work, you guys have to trust me."
"And why should we give it a chance?" Superboy asked angrily.
"Because we wouldn't be coming back if we didn't have one, now would we?" Naruto said through the telepathic link. "Now just listen, this plan just might work in beating this creep."
They all remained silent while M'gann and Naruto discussed the Martian's plan in beating Mister Twister, who in meantime continued his attack on the town. Then suddenly coming to the town through flight was Red Tornado who landed right near where the four young heroes are.
"Hit the showers, boys." Red Tornado said as he landed. "I was hoping that you can handle this. Clearly, you cannot."
"But we got a plan now." Robin protested.
"The subject is not up for debate." Red Tornado said, clearly not taking 'no' for an answer. "Now stand aside, and let me handle this." The four did what he said and the teens walked away.
"Red Tornado. Out of all of the members of the League, I was looking forward to fight you the most." Twister said as he raised his arms up, ready for battle. "I was beginning to believe you'd never show up."
"I'm here now, I don't know who you are, Twister, but you're days of hurting others are over." Red Tornado replied. Then he raised his hand and generated a small tornado at him, but Twister was able to evade the attack. Then he countered with own tornado, but Red simply dispersed it.
"It appeared we are evenly matched." Red Tornado said. Then used a another Tornado to send rock dug from the ground and hurled them at Twister.
"No, Tornado, we are not!" Twister replied as he created a wall of air to scatter the large rock to pieces. Then fired a bolt of lightning at Red Tornado, who simply levitated and evading the attack until the lightning hit a boat, that was launched out of the water during the team's fight with him, and causing it to explode right in front of the robot. The explosion knocked the android down with a thud as sparks crackled from his body.
Twister stood over him, watched the robotic hero's defeated form. "Stay still android," he said, tiny computer wires came out of his fingertips and embedding themselves in Tornado's head. "The reprogramming won't take long."
Suddenly Red Tornado turned around, grabbed Twister's wires, and his face morph into a smiling M'gann. "Longer than you think."
"What? What is this?" Twister demanded after his surprised.
"Naruto, now!" M'gann said through the link. A kunai was thrown and landed right in front where Twister's standing. Then Naruto suddenly appeared out of thin air in a yellow flash and cutting the wires with the kunai in one hand while having a Rasengan in the other.
"It's called an ambush." The ninja said. "Rasengan!" He said after slamming the blue sphere in the villain's armored chest just before it exploded, sending him flying with a large dent in its chest. As Twister was about to hit the ground, Wally spun like a top, creating a tornado similar to the one used against Twister before, and hurled him to Superboy. The Kyrptonian then began punching the villain several times, before knocking him into the water. While sinking in the bay, Twister's chest was impaled with a metal sign by Aqualad before he was electrocuted by the Atlantean's sorcery. The attack resulted in an explosion that sent Twister out of the water. M'gann used her telekinesis on the villain to lift him up, and ripped it's arms and battery pack off. Finally, while Twister was still being held in the air, Robin threw his explosive disks at him.
The final attack sent Twister crashing into the ground. Twister barely got back up on it's knees before it's chest opened a frail old man in a yellow jumpsuit fell out.
"F-Foul," the man whined, as the teens surrounded him. "I c-call foul."
Naruto closed his eyes for a second after looking at the man. Then quickly came up to him and lifted him with one hand by his throat with a Rasengan charging in his other hand, much to everyone's shock.
"Sorry, pal, wrong answer." Naruto said coldly, as he was about to strike with his attack. "Any last words?"
"Dudes! He's gonna-" Wally said before Kaldur spoke.
"Naruto, stop!" he said. "It's over! Put him down!"
Naruto just glared at the man, before finally let him go. The man sighed in deep relief, and looked up at Naruto with a relieved smile. But quickly changed to a horrified expression, when the ninja grew a smirk on his face and raising his Rasengan high.
"Naruto, no!" Kaldur called out with widened eyes before the ninja struck the man with his Rasengan, resulting in an explosion.
The others were in deep shock on what they saw. After the smoke cleared, Naruto stepped out, dusting himself off. Afterwards, Wally, Robin, and Superboy walked up to him all looking angry, while the former grabbed the ninja by his shirt.
"Naruto, are you insane?!" Wally yelled.
"I don't know how things are done back in your world, but here we don't execute our captives!" Robin growled. M'gann stepped in and separated Wally and Naruto.
"Guys, it's okay! Look!" She said point at the man after the cloud of dust vanished, revealing the remains of a robot. "That's why I couldn't read his mind. And I think Naruto knew he was a machine too"
"But how did you find out?" Wally asked Naruto. "I know beautiful here can read minds," pointing at M'gann. "but how did you knew?"
"Remember when I talked about chakra?" Naruto asked. The others nodded. "Well, I received training from my world that gives me the ability to sense it in people and other organic life, sort of a sensory ability. This guy was a machine, and machines don't have chakra for me to sense." He explained.
"I guess that makes sense." Wally said. He then walked up to the robot's remains and picked up one it's robot eyes. "Cool, souvenir."
Superboy and Kaldur walked up to the two, while the latter rested his hand on the Martian's shoulder. "We should have more faith in you two." The Atlantean said while Superboy just smiled at them and they smiled back.
"Yeah. And you sure knew how to end this mission with a bang, Naruto." Wally joked while resting his arm on the ninja's shoulder. "Get it? Bang!" Naruto just smacked him on the back of his head and stared at him dryly. "Ow!"
"Seriously, where's your off switch?" he said causing M'gann to giggle while the others to snicker a bit.
"Ignore him." Robin said. "I for one am glad that you two are on our side."
"Thanks, me too." M'gann replied. Naruto smiled in response.
Unknown Location
Unknown to the team they were being observed by the robots only functioning good eye by a man who looked exactly like the robot in the Mister Twister armor and a man with black and gray hair and in a lab coat.
"Now Brom, aren't you relieved I didn't let you wear the armor?" the man in the lab coat said.
"Extremely, Professor," Brom replied. "You're not upset that the armor has been defeated and captured?"
"No." the man known as T.O. Morrow replied. "I am convinced that our tracking program was operational, and that the real Red Tornado was somewhere in the area. Besides, you that science advances in fits and starts. Even failure can instructive… and I say we learned quite a lot today."
After Mister Twister was defeated, the team brought the remains of the robot and the armor back to the cave. The remains were laid out on a table being analyzed by Red Tornado.
"This is very disturbing." Red Tornado said after examining the robot and the armor. "Apparently whoever sent this have built the armor to my design and equipped with way to override my programing."
"It was clearly created and sent to sabotage or destroy you." Kaldur said.
"Agreed." The android replied.
"Is that why you wouldn't help us?" M'gann asked.
"No." Red Tornado said. "It was your battle. I do not believe it is my roll to solve your problems for you, nor is it your roll to solve mine."
"But if you're in danger," Naruto said. "Then-"
"Consider this matter closed." Red Tornado interrupted before walking down the hallway.
"Batman, Aquaman, and Flash, they would have jumped right in to fix things." Wally said while watching the android walking away.
"Guess if we're gonna have a babysitter, a heartless machine is exactly what we need." Robin said sarcastically.
"Dude!" Wally hissed. "Harsh!"
"And inaccurate." Red Tornado said turning to face the teens. "I do have a heart. Carbon-steel alloy. I also have excellent hearing."
"Right, sorry," Robin said a little embarrassed. "I'll try and be more accurate."
"And more respectful." Aqualad said.
"Speedy was so wrong." Wally said.
"Agreed. This team just might work out after all." Kaldur said as he and Robin followed Wally to the Zeta tubes, but Superboy turned to M'gann before he head to his room.
"About before..." he said to the Martian having trouble looking at her. "I'm sorry"
Hearing that made M'gann smile after watching him head to his room. Afterwards she head to her room too, but with a big smile on her face that won't go away. Naruto also saw that too and smiled both in relief and amusement. He had been dense when it comes to love, but he tell that the Martian is crushing on Conner big time.
"Well, Kurama, got off to a rough start, but this new team is going to work out after all, huh?" He said to Kurama.
Kurama smiled and chuckled a bit before he spoke. "Yeah. I must admit, maybe a little rough around the edges, but these kids, with you by their side, could become the next generations of the worlds greatest heroes."
Naruto smiled at that idea. "You know what, furball, I think I can agree with you on that. But big question is, who is going to lead us?"
The End
I am sorry that it took me so long to make this new chapter for my new story, and for that, I am sorry. I had a lot of things going on and didn't had enough time to finish it all in one day and I kept getting side tracked. But I promise you all that I will update my story's but it's going to take me time to do them all while trying to figure out new ideas for new stories.
I also wanted to say sorry for not updating after a long time. I was having trouble updating and loading new chapters in, but I promise things are different this time and I will update more now that I am out of school for the summer. I have also decided to do some revisions on this story, because I feel it was becoming too much like the story "Shinobi Rising", so I decieded to change it up a bit, such as a different pairing. I hope you still like it.
Please review and see you all again soon.
