"Naruto, open up," shouted a female voice.

Naruto, now 12 years old, lived in his own apartment after switching with his genjutsu self. He woke up to see that he accidentally smacked his ugly purplish pink clock onto the floor, making a huge mess. Stretching tiredly, he smiled as he remembered last night.

"Flashback"

Naruto came back from his training with the newly formed Team 7. Kakash Hatake, his silverish white hair teacher, was late to meet them on the bridge, AGAIN. Sakura Haruno, a girl with pink hair, was fawning over Sasuke Uchiha, a boy with bluish black hair. Both were his teammates and oblivious to his real strengths and smarts. "Yo," said Kakashi.

"You're late," shouted Sakura and a reluctant Naruto.

"Ah… you see, there was this old lady who needed help with her groceries. As a gentleman, I went and helped her," said Kakashi.

"Liar," shouted Sakura and Naruto.

"Let's start training," said Kakashi.

Back to twelve hours, Naruto went into his apartment and undid the genjutsu. No one knew that Naruto had a laptop, a lot of scrolls, books, a comfy sofa, a table, etc. All in all, his apartment was huge and comfortable. He walked over to his laptop, turned it on, and logged into his AIM account. Checking to see if his sister was on, he clicked Moonbeam on his buddy list.

Naruto lay back on his chair and wrote a comment or two with his friends and siblings. It was sure going to be a great day when Serena came to Konoha.

"End Flashback"

"Naruto," shouted Sakura as she barged into Naruto's bedroom.

"Ah! Sakura! I'm changing," said Naruto as he ran into the bathroom, half clothed.

Sasuke leaned on the living room wall. Sakura blushed a little bit and headed out to fawn over Sasuke again. As usual, Sasuke made his 'hn' sound and ignored Sakura's constant jabbering. Naruto, five minutes later, came out of the bathroom and into the living room. "Sorry guys. My alarm clock broke," said a sheepish Naruto.

"Don't let it happen again. Let's go before we are late for the chunin exams," said Sakura as Team 7 went to the Academy to register.

- In Jump City, USA -

"Stop! Thief," said a random bystander.

"Titans, go," shouted a boy's voice.

Serena, 12 years old, looked up from her pizza to see five people, mostly her age, jump down the pizza parlor and go straight for the bad guy. The five were the Teen Titans: Robin, a black haired boy with a mask on his face, Starfire, a red haired girl who was an alien that took refuge on Earth, Beastboy, a green skin boy who could change into any animal, Raven, a mysterious girl who can do magic, and Cyborg, a half-man half-machine who kicks butt. Serena walked over to the end of the pizza place and saw that the bystander and the thief were two shadow demons. Cursing her luck of getting away from them, she jumped down the same way the Titans did and followed the two shadow demons and the Titans. This is bad. If I'm late to Konoha, Naruto is going to get my fight, thought a complaining Serena.

- Where the Titans are -

"You're not going anywhere," said Raven as she blocked the path of the two people.

"You're not Selene," said the thief.

"And you're no bystander," said Cyborg as he pointed at the so-call bystander.

"Who is Selene," asked a serious Robin.

"I'm not telling you anything," said the two as they changed into two demons in front of their eyes.

The Titans moved slowly backwards and looked at each other. They were wondering who Selene was. Starfire shot green fire bolts towards the two. It hit dead center, but as the smoke cleared, the demons were still standing. The demons yawned at the Titans attempt and started to run towards the five. Suddenly, a flash of lightning went in front of the demons. "Did you do that Raven," asked Beastboy.

"No," said the stoic Raven.

"Ah, Selene has joined the fight," said the first demon.

The Titans turned around and saw Serena. She was glowing silver and looking at the demons. On her pretty face, she had a smirk that should have been a smile. "If it isn't the two shadow demons from Shishio. Tell me, is he planning on destroying you when you fail," asked a smirking Serena.

"Get out of the way. We're the Titans, and we can handle this," said Robin, but was ignored.

"Yah," shouted the demons as they race towards Serena.

Serena took on her fighting stance and waited for the right moment. The Titans had wide eyes when Serena punched one in the gut and the other with a kick. She moved up, down, left, and right. Dodging an on attack, she created a small fireball and threw it at the shadow demon. The other one jumped up and hit Serena in the back of the head. Robin and Starfire were ready to help, but Serena got up and went at them, this time with a sword. The Titans stood still and watched amazed by how Serena moved to kick the demons' butts. With a huge ice blizzard, the demons were frozen in place. Serena, maneuvering to land, had one of her klutz attack and landed on Robin, head on his chest. "Dude! That was awesome," said Beastboy.

"Um… Sorry," said Serena as she got off of Robin.

"That's fine. We have some questions for you," said Robin as he got up.

"Ask away," said Serena as she pushed the two icicles together, effectively destroying the demons.

"Who are you," asked Robin.

"Yes, friend. Where did you come from? What's your favorite color? May we be friends," asked Starfire quickly.

"Uh… My name is Serena, sometimes called Selene. I come from Japan. My favorite COLORS are gold, silver, sky blue, crystal, black, and other dark colors/pale colors. And yes," said Serena.

"How joyous! Come to the Titans Tower with us," said Starfire.

"Titans Tower," asked Serena as Starfire dragged her, with the others in tow.

- In Konoha -

"Listen up! My name is Ibiki. I'll be your first protractor. The first exam is written exam. There are 10 questions. The last question will be given to you 15 minutes before the exam is finished. You have 10 points. If you cheat, you'll lose 2 points. If you were caught cheating for the fifth time you'll be thrown out of the exam, including your other team members," said Ibiki as he looked around.

Many people squirmed on the test. Naruto could feel Sakura and Sasuke glaring at his back if he failed. Naruto smirked and tried to calm down. Next to him was Hinata Hyuuga, a blue hair girl whose personality was shy. Naruto looked around and saw Shikamaru Nara, a lazy boy, Negi Hyuuga, the last year's rookie of the Academy, Rock Lee, the last year's dead last like him, Shino Aburame, the bug lover, Kiba Inuzuka, the dog lover with his dog Akamaru on his head, Choji Akimichi, the food loving boy, Gaara of the Desert, a demon vessel for Shukaku, Kankuro, the puppet lover, Temari, the fan lover, Tenten, the weapon lover, and Ino Yamanaka, the mind user. He saw all of them using different tactics to cheat, but not get caught.

- 2 hours later -

Only 26 teams passed the first exam. Anko, the second protractor, led everyone to the Forest of Death. The objection to this exam is to get two scrolls: a heaven scroll and an earth scroll. This called for a huge amount of teamwork. Naruto looked around again and sensed something wrong with the grass ninja who stuck his tongue out like a snake and that Kabuto guy from before the exam ever started. Good thing no one noticed him getting the entire rookie nins, the sand siblings, and Gai Maito's team info cards. He figured it must be Orochimaru that his mom warned him about.

"Naruto! Let's go," said Sakura.

"Coming," said Naruto as he walked towards his team in front of their gate.

- In Nekomi (I have no idea what city/town Weib Kreuz is in… please tell me!) -

"Hey Omi," said a guy's voice.

"Hello Yoji," said Omi.

Omi, 12 years old, has just gotten off with his friend, Nagi, otherwise known as Prodigy. The team of Schwartz and Weib didn't have a clue that Nagi and Omi were friends and were Serena's fiancés. In truth, they were happy being friends to each other and boyfriends to their childhood friend, Serena. It was a shock that Serena would marry four guys, but it didn't matter at all. Omi wondered about his teammates: Aya, a red haired guy who didn't know that Omi knew his real name was Ran, Yoji, a dirty blonde haired guy who was a pervert, and Ken, a brown haired guy who coached a soccer team. "What are you doing," asked Yoji.

"Online things," said Omi.

"You are getting way attach to your computer," said Ken.

"Hn. It means that he is more up to date than any of you," said Aya (I'll call him that for now until later on in the story.)

"I saw a chat room up. Who were talking to," asked Ken.

"Some of my friends," said Omi.

"Don't get too attached to them," said Aya.

But I already have, Aya, thought Omi as he sat down for breakfast and headed off to school.

­- In another part of Nekomi –

"Nagi, time to wake up for school," said a German accent voice.

"I'm all ready awake, Schuldich," said Nagi.

Nagi, 12 years old, was recently talking to Omi about Serena and their mission. No one, not even the all-seeing Crawford, knew that Nagi was just an act to get them to trust him. Nagi wondered towards his teammates: Brad Crawford, an all-seeing guy who looks into the future, Schuldich, a German red hair guy who can look into people's minds and control them, and Farfarello, a craze Irish guy who will kill to make God cry and didn't know that he knew his real name was Jei. Shaking his head, he went downstairs, ate breakfast, walked out to school, and talked to Omi on the way.

Those guys would be so surprise to see me with him, thought Omi/Nagi.

- Skipping to night -

"So the kitties have come out to play," said Schuldich.

"F off, Schuldich," said Yoji.

'Time to get this show on the road, Nagi,' said Omi telepathically.

'I agree. Good thing we learned Occulmancy and Legimency back in the Elemental Country,' said Nagi.

The two boys stared at each other. Both groups went up against each other, as blood spilt. Crawford fought Aya, Schuldich fought Yoji, Ken fought Farfarello, and Omi fought Nagi. The only thing is that Omi and Nagi put genjutsu on them to look like they were bleeding when they fought.

- In Domino City -

'Will we find what we are looking for,' asked Yugi to Yami.

'I don't know. It is quite dull for the past two days after our little chat with Serena and the others,' said Yami.

"Hey, Yugi," said a boy's voice.

Yugi, 13 years old, looked up to see his friends in the city: Joey, a blonde hair boy, Tristan, a brown hair boy, and Tea, a brown hair girl. He came to Domino in hopes of finding the millennium items, but it was futile. The person he was living with, Mr. Moto, said not to give up. In school, he bumped into Tea, Joey, and Tristan. He was looking for the office. Of course, the three friends helped him out and found out that he had all his classes with him. "What's new," asked Yugi.

"A new boy is arriving today," said Tea.

"What's his name," asked Joey.

"His name is…" started Tea, but was interrupted by the teacher.

"Settle down class. Today, we have a new student. Please welcome Ryou," said the teacher, Mr. Johnson.

A boy with white hair stepped into the room. Yugi looked at him and saw that he had a split personality. He also saw a millennium item around his neck. Yugi raised his hand slowly as the teacher pointed that Ryou would be sitting next to Yugi. Ryou walked and sat down next to Yugi. After the bell rang, Yugi went towards Ryou. "Hello. My name is Yugi," said Yugi.

"Hello. You already know mine," said Ryou.

This is starting to become a great friendship, thought Yugi.

- In the mid-afternoon -

"Do you play duel monsters," asked Ryou.

"Yeah we do," said Tristan.

'I have a funny feeling about Ryou,' said Yugi.

'His millennium ring is acting up. He's not the Ryou you know,' said Yami.

"Excellent. Let's play a game," said Ryou.

"All right," said everyone.

"But first, let me show you this: the millennium ring," said Ryou as darkness enveloped the room.

"What's going on," asked Joey.

"This is a shadow game, and your soul is mine," said Ryou as he trapped the souls of Yugi, Joey, Tea, and Tristan.

"I finally get the millennium puzzle," said Bakura, who came out as darkness went around the room.

"Not so fast Bakura," said Yugi as the millennium puzzle glowed to let Yami out.

"The soul to the millennium puzzle," said Bakura.

"You want my puzzle, you have to play ME to get it," said Yami as he shuffled his deck and placed it on the table.

"Fine," said Bakura.

"Let's duel," said the two.

- In Hohenheim -

"Brother, where are we going now," asked a boy's voice.

"To the Alchemy Academy in Central," said another boy's voice.

Ed, age 14, and Al, age 13, were heartbroken when the caretaker died. They did the unthinkable: human transmutation. Al's soul was transmuted into an armor body while Ed had automail parts for an arm and leg. The Moon gang was shock to hear the news when everyone talked on the computer. They were saddened at the news but a little bit angry too. The twins, Heero, Kenshin, Yusuke, and Jaden's mother warned them not to do human transmutation. She said that it had high consequences. Winry, a neighbor of the boys, worked on Ed's automail parts. They felt ashamed, but it was all in the past. "Why are we going there," asked Al.

"To complete the part of poverty towns," said Ed.

"But it doesn't have to do with any of this," said Al.

"It does, Al. When we go there, we are going to try to become state alchemists," said Ed.

"I understand brother. I wish we didn't burn all of her things," said Al.

"I know Al. I know," said Ed.

­- In the train to Central –

"Brother, someone is looking at me," said Al.

"Don't worry Al. She just doesn't see a guy wearing an armor, right kid," asked Ed.

The little girl nodded her head and smiled brightly. Ed smiled back as Al laughed a little to ease up the tension. All was going smoothly until bandits hit the train. The girl and her mother looked up frightened. Al and Ed looked at each other and slowly got up. The man held a gun at them, but they jumped and kicked the two men unconscious. Ed and Al devised a plan to help the people. Al would go into the carts and help while Ed took the top of the train. Everything went smoothly. "Damn, you're good," said a man.

"Thanks," said Ed.

"My name is Maes Hughes. Nice to meet you kid," said Hughes.

"Ed Elric," said Ed.

"And I'm Al," said Al as he came in with his armor self.

"Well, we can rest easy now," said Hughes.

The train pulled into the stop and came the person Ed and Al wanted to see: Roy Mustang. Roy Mustang, a guy with black hair, walked calmly towards the train. The person who had tried to assassinate the commander went wild. Roy looked at him, snapped his fingers, and fired out flames from his palm to toast the man. He turned and looked at Ed and Al. "Good to see you all alive," said Roy.

"You knew about this," shouted Ed.

"Brother," said Al.

"Come on," said Roy as he walked away, followed by everyone in the military.
