Hey guys and girls.
Well things have been going well and strong for our hero. Naruto has been spotted by Shigure and has shown her his secret. But with everything now beginning to change around him, how will he cope with the fact that his memories are slowly coming back to him?
Let's find out right?
Enjoy.
Disclaimers: I own nothing.
Chapter 4: The Past I Ran From.
The school life was very much one Naruto expected. Thanks to the module shoved into his brain along with the V.I. chip, he already knew these things. But with his status as Archangel was what he lived for.
As Archangel he could use his powers to help people. To protect them. But sitting behind a desk all day was something he didn't enjoy. But he chose to suck it up and just do it. At least he made friends with Ichika and his band of missfits. He was thankful to Tabane for doing this for him while at the same time wondering if she did this to undermine his abilities.
Throwing himself on the bed and looking up at the ceiling he let a sigh escape his lips. But just as he was about to get ready for a shower and sleep for the night his phone buzzed. Looking at it his eyes widened to find it was Tabane. The only times she called was when idiots of the world were busy doing stupid shit that would result in innocent lives being killed.
Picking up the phone he went to the window to ensure he wasn't being taped.
"Tabane-chan." said Naruto as he leaned against the window finding no one around.
"Naru-chanie. We've got a problem." said Tabane with Naruto getting a tick mark on his head at what she called him.
He really didn't like the way she called him that but he would deal with it and do as he was instructed.
"What's the problem?" asked Naruto.
"Turns out a very expensive company have been doing some under the table experiments. They have been creating an Amplification Core used to amplify an I.S. Unit's energy output by a super amount." said Tabane.
"Understood. Where am I going?" asked Naruto.
"How's your German?" asked Tabane.
"Not that good." replied Naruto.
"Don't worry. You won't need it. It is in Germany however. And relax. The people you are going to be meeting is English." replied Tabane.
"Dress code?" asked Naruto.
"Suit and tie." she replied as the sounds of a chopper thundered on the roof.
Jumping out the window and using his thrusters that emerged out his back he flew to the top and made his way to the chopper. Getting in a soldier gave him a black tux.
"The plans have already been put in place Archangel! The school has been notified that you are going to be away from school for a while!" said the soldier with Naruto getting into the suit.
Once in the suit the chopper took off and flew half way around the world. But it didn't make it as it was shot down by anti-aircraft weapons by the beach of the man's home. Naruto jumped out with the people holding onto him. He shifted into his I.S. Unit and took off. Looking at his HUD he saw he had about 66% of power left. More than enough to get back.
Landing far away from the house highlighted on his HUD as a big blue dot on the house, he changed back and made his way to the door of the house where he was stopped by some guards.
"Name." said the one.
"Leon Luis." replied Naruto with the guard going over the list.
"Enjoy your night sir." said the guard as the other opened the door.
"You rigged that one did you." said Naruto.
"Of course I did. First gen shit is easy to hack." said Tabane.
"Now we need to find a way to get into the vault where the Amplifier is being kept." said Tabane.
"Copy that." said Naruto as he hung up with his eyes shifting to be an ice blue.
EMF mode activated. (A.N. EMF mode gives Naruto the abililty to see the electrical currents)
He saw the pusles of electricity through the entire house. He looked up he looked down, he even looked by the girls restroom just to be sure.
Accessing building layout and structure. Stand by.
Naruto watched as his field of view shifted to have his system hack the codes for the blueprints of the building he was in. And just when a minute went past, the blueprints were in his mind.
Blueprints aquired. Room located at far East wing turns out to not be part of original design.
"Tabane-chan. Are you seeing this on my HUD?" asked Naruto.
"Sure am Naru-chanie. Your V.I. set up a link of what you're seeing to my computor. Quite nifty. But move there and see what you can do." said Tabane.
Moving along casually not to draw suspicion he stopped at the place which was to be the entrance. Only thing that was different was that there was a picture before the door.
Increasing electrical frequency charge to 500 volts.
A single burst of electricity discarged off Naruto and everyone around him got a massive fright as the sounds of like a light going off echoed across the area. All cameras were disabled as well the secret door opened up before him. Walking into it he watched as the door closed to have the room completely dark.
Nightvision activated.
Naruto's eyes shifted to be a light green colour and he found that there was a console on the door before him. Placing his hand on the console, wires shot out his arm and embedded into the console.
Interfacing with console.
A small click was heard as the console turned to have the colour green signalling right of passage. The door opened and before him was a small blue orb in a see through cylinder. Small warm blue lights flickered to life as Naruto made his way to the Core.
He grabbed it and pulled it up. It looked like a regular core than anything. But there was a slight neon blue glow to it. That was when Tabane called on the connection they had.
"Naru-chanie. You're gonna have to interface with it. That way I can use the data sent from you to shut it down." said Tabane.
"You can do that?" asked Naruto.
"Yes. But you must activate Micheal's Hand. The Core will have to be in you to do the interface. I've placed a small area inside you where you can install modules for your conveniant. Use that." said Tabane as Naruto activated Micheal's Hand.
Once in Micheal's Hand he brought the Core close to him and watched as his side opened with cables shoot out and connecting to the Core and then have the core shoot into the compartment. Naruto's eyes flashed as if they were grids on a circuit board.
Foreign Core detected. Identification awaiting from Core.
Core identified: Amplification Core. Serial Number 400021982. Preparing to interface. Warning. Suit integrity will be shut down accordingly while interfacing is underway. I.S. Core will be kept online for internal I.S. components.
"Acknowledged." said Naruto.
Preparing to interface. Shutting down I.S. systems to compensate energy load accordingly.
Naruto's eyes slowly closed as one by one his systems were brought down to compensate the energy from the Core.
But as he was slowly being turned off, one of the guards informed the host that someone had gotten into the vault where the Core was being housed.
The host told the guy that he has something in mind for him. As no person could get in unless they had an I.S. Unit. Or a V.I. in their heads, which seemed impossible.
It didn't take long as the interfacing was successful and Naruto's systems came back online with Naruto finding a new system installed on his HUD. His default energy pool that showed his energy in his Core was blue, but this one was shown in a purple colour which rested on the right while his default energy pool rested on his left.
Amplification Core interface successful. Can use energy shields and weapons in amplified states. Cleared to proceed.
Naruto deactivated his HUD to only have small windows in his view and made his way out. But he felt that this was too easy. But then again, Tabane did everything she could to hide his steps. The first door opened and Naruto stepped through just as the sounds of something being powered up was heard.
A brillaint jolt of electricity shot through his systems as his HUD began to blur with him dropping to the floor.
Warning. EMP Burst detected. I.S. systems impaired. Unable to switch to core functions. Warning. EMP Burst detected. I.S. systems impaired. Unable to switch to core functions.
He heard static in his ear as he felt his heart begin to slow down and so did his breathing. He rekoned the static was because Tabane was trying to get hold of him, but it was too late. The EMP shot through his I.S. systems and had totally crippled him. He was left defensless. And without his I.S. systems online, his heart would give way very soon. You could say the I.S. systems was like a life support machine for Naruto.
"I guess we should've expected this. But then again, we were messing with stuff that would get the attention of Tabane. Who knew she would send in this guy. But let's really see who you are." said a man as he brough a face ID to Naruto's own face.
"By Kami. It's Naruto Uzumaki? The son of Kushina and Minato? Looks like their failure of a son isn't so much of one. Let's give them a call of a surprise we have for them." said the man as two guards dragged Naruto away.
Warning. Life support systems failing. Unable to switch to core functions. Estimated time til death: 23 hours 14 minutes 12 seconds.
So this was it? Was Naruto to be tortured until his life ticked away? This was not funny. He just had to hold on until either the I.S. systems came back online when the EMP burst wore off or wait for help to arrive. If he knew Tabane, she'd already have contacted someone helpful.
With Chifuyu.
Finally getting everything sorted out and the new set of notes ready for tomorrow's lesson, Chifuyu was winding down for bed. But fate again proved otherwise as her phone buzzed.
Cursing how that stupid thing always stopped her to get some sleep she went to answer it. She saw it was Tabane. Picking it up she spoke with arrogance that her friend would come clean about Naruto. Or so that was what she thought.
"So, you're phoning because you admit it was you who did that to Naruto?" she said.
"Chi-chan. You have to help Naru-chanie." said Tabane in a worried voice.
Chifuyu had never heard Tabane speak like that. She was usually all cheery that go on her nerves so much but for her to act like this really meant something.
"What happened?" asked Chifuyu.
"He was sent to do a covert operation and it went South. Look, round up everyone you can who can fight and get them to go to Germany. I'll explain on the way." said Tabane hanging up.
For Tabane to act in such a manner really meant that she was worried about something important. And she had only seen her act this once and that was around her younger sister. She mentioned Naruto but what could be wrong? So she round up everyone being Ichika, Charlotte, Shigure, Rin, Cecilia, Houki, sayo just in case Naruto needed medical treatment and lastly, Laura. They had to help Tabane with what ever her problem was. And as she knew. For Tabane to act like this was not to be taken lightly.
And scene.
So the mission Naruto has been sent on has gone South. Can his friends get there in time before his internal injuries get to him first? Or will they come to understand the real reason why Naruto came to I.S. Academy.
Chapter 5: The Pain Of The Past.
