Naruto: Rise of the Ultimate Ninja

*Instruments*

Naruto was falling down to South Island before he used his Telekinesis to land down as he looks around in shock and disbelief.

He then notices a bunch of Badniks kidnapping Animals, making him frown seriously before he begins to destroy them and then runs ahead.

Yesterday's rules are simply loose today

The best goal is to break them

Naruto is running across the Zones of South Island before he stopped and was face to face with Eggman Nega, who was fuming at the sight of him. Naruto smirks and does a Spin Dash and charged at him.

Later, Naruto has the six Chaos Emeralds as they vanished and large flowers appeared on South Island. He grins as he turns to the Tornado.

If I don't keep running

There's no other meaning

The scene changes to show Naruto landing the Tornado on West Side Island as Tails comes flying towards him but he sneezes as he changed between his fox form and human form before taking on his fox form.

An explosion is heard, making Tails jump up as they turned and saw Eggman Nega laughing evilly before he flies away.

It's a punk philosophy

Naruto grins at Tails as he gave him thumbs up, making him nod happily and the two raced forward across the Zones.

Biorhythm is...a two-time rhythm

The scene changes to show Naruto inside the Death Egg as he battled against Robo Naruto before destroying him. The Death Egg shook and Naruto heard something behind him. He looks bafk him and saw the Death Egg Robot getting ready to stomp him.

The scenery instantly becomes countless lines

The wind envelops me

Naruto grins as the Chaos Emeralds appeared around him before he absorbed them and transformed into Super Naruto.

He grins up at the Death Egg Robot before he charged at him and out of the Death Egg as it exploded. He winks and gives a thumbs up to the viewers.

INSIDE OUTSIDE attack

Surpass everything altogether

I won't let anyone

Or anything get ahead of me

The scene change to show Naruto running across a green field. Something caught his attention as he stops and looks up, seeing a planet chained to a mountain. He runs up to the mountain till he was at the top.

He Spin Dash down the mountain before he jumped off the ramp and landed on the chain as he ran on it, heading towards the planet.

INSIDE OUTSIDE, GO! SONIC!

Everything altogether, YES! SONIC!

"Watch out" and "Have a nice" are similar

That's right – both are by the skin of your teeth

Blaze is riding on a boat, looking at the horizon with a soft smile present on her face.

At the Stardust Speedway Zone on Little Planet, the Masked Boy watches on as Naruto and Metal Naruto were racing on a track. Amy Rose is seen crying for head at the end of the track, while Eggman Nega chases after them with a laser beam on his Egg Mobile.

Naruto soon got in front of Metal Naruto as he reached his hand out to Amy.

Throw boredom away

And start running

The Death Egg is seen falling from the sky and landing on Angel Island, causing it to fall the ocean.

The Guardian of the Island, Knuckles, see's it falling. He runs over to where the Death Egg landed to investigate.

S-O-N-I-C, GO!

The scene changes to show Naruto giving a mighty roar as his body started to glow in a rainbow color.

GO, GO, GO, GO, LET'S GO!

A silhouette of Naruto's new transformation is seen, with his back turned to the readers, a rainbow aura covering his being. The camera zooms in on his back as he looks over his shoulder, showing his now purple eye.

Ultimate 10: Naruto and Knuckles! Birth of the Hyper Form!

Chapter Cover: Naruto and Knuckles stood side to side on a cliff looking at the readers with grins on their faces, with Angel Island in the background. (Based on Sonic & Knuckles startup screen)

Music: Mushroom Hill (Act 1) [Sonic & Knuckles]

After watching the Death Egg fall down somewhere else, and the platform they were on landing elsewhere as well, Naruto and the humanized Tails were falling through the trees, screaming before landing on a giant mushroom.

They looked at each other before the mushroom bounced them into another mushroom as they screamed in surprise. The mushroom bounced them in the air before they landed on the ground.

"Oh man! That was crazy!" Naruto cheered.

Tails laughed as he clapped his hands. "No kidding! It was kind of scary at first but when we bounced on those mushrooms it was fun!" He looks around the new location they were in.

A forest that's filled to the brim with giant mushrooms.

"Wow~" Naruto said in awe as he looks at the giant mushrooms. He walks ahead of the path with Tails flying ahead of him as he jumped on one of the mushrooms. "I never seen so many large mushrooms before."

"Yeah!" Tails agreed as he bounced off the mushroom. "This must be some sort of Mushroom Valley or something."

"More like Mushroom Hill to me." Naruto stated.

"That name actually fits!" Tails said happily as Naruto chuckled sheepishly.

If he was completely honest with himself, the name of this place just suddenly popped into his head. Ever since coming here, he's been knowing the names of the location of the Island. Like each time he enters a new place, he would automatically know it's name.

He noticed they were walking to a cliff. He looks down curiously before his eyes widen.

"Hold up!" Naruto grabbed a surprised Tails by his twintails, stopping him from walking and pulled him down with him.

"What is it?" Tails asked.

"Shh." Naruto hushed him. He points down to the cliff.

They looked down and saw Knuckles looking around. He runs ahead before he jumps on a switch that closed a door. He nods to himself and runs off somewhere.

"What was that about?" Tails asked.

"I don't know. But it seems that ol' Knucklehead is hiding something." A fox-like smirk appears on Naruto's face. "Let's check it out! It's probably something embarrassing!"

The duo jumped off the cliff, with Naruto landing on the switch. The door opened up once more and the two entered. Their eyes widened at what they saw.

"Is that a Giant Ring?" Tails asked.

"I think so…" Naruto trailed off, an eyebrow raised in confusion. "But why is it flashing in multiple colors? Matter of fact, why is it even here? We got all the Chaos Emeralds."

"Let's check it out." Tails said.

The two jumped inside the Giant Ring as it disappeared.

?

Music: Hidden Palace Zone [Sonic & Knuckles]

You know how you enter a Giant Ring and it automatically takes you to a Secret Zone?

Well that flashy Giant Ring didn't take our heroes to the Secret Zone. Instead, in the flash of an orange light, they found themselves standing in front of an Emerald Shrine.

"Huh?!" Naruto and Tails asked as they looked around, before something caught Tails' attention.

"Hey look!"

Naruto looks to Tails and saw him pointing at something before he looks up also and his jaw dropped in comical shock.

"What the hell?! Is that a giant Chaos Emerald?!"

There above their heads is giant green Chaos Emerald. Around the large emerald were empty pedestals.

"Amazing! This must be the Master Emerald Knuckles was talking about." Tails said in awe.

"I think you're right Tails…" Naruto muttered, staring at the emerald in a daze.

"Where are we? Is this a Secret Zone?" Tails asked.

"No…" Naruto said as images of Sonic entering this place flashed in his head. "This place is…" He felt the Chaos Emeralds leave his person, much to his and Tails' surprise.

They watched as the emeralds began to circle in place before they split off. The emeralds landed on the empty pedestals in a flash of orange light.

"What? What just happened to the emeralds?" Tails asked eyes widened.

When the Chaos Emeralds landed on the pedestals, they grew larger and were completely colorless.

"They evolved…" Naruto said in a trance as more images of Sonic in this place flashed in his head. An excited smile soon appears on his face. "The Chaos Emeralds evolved and became...Super Emeralds!"

"Super Emeralds?! So cool~!" Tails' eyes shined like stars as he looks at the newly evolved emeralds. "It must've been the Master Emerald that triggered their evolution! But looking at them now, it looks like the Super Emeralds needs to have power."

"Then let's power them up!" Naruto grins as he does his signature hand sign. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Six clones appears and the original grabs Tails. "Alright guys! Let's do it to it!"

"Yes sir!" Everyone, including Tails, saluted. They all jumped on each individual Super Emeralds and they vanished in a flash of light.

Minutes later, small white stars started to gather to each of the Super Emeralds. As they touched them, each emerald begins to light up in their original colors.

The Master Emerald itself begins to glow, unknowingly triggering an awesome transformation between Naruto, Tails and Knuckles.

Mushroom Hill Zone

Music: Mushroom Hill Zone (Act 1) [Sonic & Knuckles]

Naruto and Tails exited the Giant Ring and were running out through the mushroom filled forest.

"Awesome!" Naruto cheered as he did a small victory jump. "We did it!"

"Yeah! We charged up all of the Super Emeralds!" Tails cheered also. "We're the Ultimate Team!"

"Damn straight little dude!" Naruto said in excitement.

They entered a cave and Naruto jumped from wall to wall, to reach the higher level and doing a spin dash to destroy a Badnik, while Tails flew behind him to catch up, exiting the cave.

The two were now jumping on the giant mushrooms as they reached a higher platform before jumping on a yellow spring, sending them flying through the air. Once they saw they were going to a slope they got into their spin ball. They rolled down the slope, going through a loop, and got launched in the air.

Once they landed, they continued to run ahead. They saw a pole up ahead as they grabbed it and spun around in place before going back the same way, this time going to a lower level.

They grabbed a bunch of Rings and jumped out of the way to avoid the spikes. They went through a loop again and entered an area that was filled with tall trees.

Naruto noticed a shadow was looming over them. He looks up and his eyes widened as he saw something was thrown at them. His eyes widened as he saw it was three golden axes.

"HOLY SHIT!" Naruto yells as he stops running and held his hands out, grabbing the axes with his telekinesis.

"Whoa!" Tails jumped in surprise at seeing the axes. "Where did those come from?!"

"Him." Naruto said as he pointed in the air. They saw the Super Badnik, Hei Hou, floating down towards them holding an axe. "Oh great. A Badnik with an axe to grind." Hei Hou swung his axe at Naruto, only for him to roll out of the way. "Hey watch where you're swinging that thing Tin Man!"

Hei Hou then launched a chunk of woods at Naruto.

"Cause you know what they say right?" Naruto asked as he spin dashed through the woods and got around Hei Hou. "What goes around…" His hands was covered in a cyan aura. "Comes around!"

He sent a wave of telekinesis that cut Hei Hou in half and explode upon impact.

"Yeah! You sure showed him who's boss Naruto!" Tails cheered.

"Please. Please hold your applause." Naruto said, waving his hand up and down. He runs ahead with Tails following after him. "I feel like this getting easier and easier by the minute! We are in the zone today Tails. Now let's just hope nothing stops-"

Music: Knuckles' Theme [Sonic & Knuckles]

Naruto stops talking as he and Tails saw something blocking their way. They also heard chuckling coming from the blocked wall. The two immediately knew who it was behind the chuckling.

"Knuckles! Come out here so I can blow you away personally for being a jackass!" Naruto called out.

"The only ones who are gonna get blown away are you two clowns!" Knuckles' voice was heard. "Literally."

The Duo heard a 'clicking' sound and felt the wind blowing underneath them.

"Huh?" Tails asked. His eyes widened as he felt the wind getting stronger and stronger making him grip the ground along with Naruto, who only had an annoyed expression.

"Oh great."

The wind got so strong they lost their grips and were blown upwards. Tails' was screaming comically while Naruto just remained neutral. Once they were high enough, the wind suddenly died down and two fell on their feet.

Music: Mushroom Hill Zone (Act 2) [Sonic & Knuckles]

"What the hell?" Naruto asked, taking a look around.

They were still in Mushroom Hill, but something was different. All of the leafs were orange and the mushrooms were blue.

"Orange leaves?" Tails asked. "It's Fall? But that's impossible. We're in the beginning of summer!"

"This has Eggman written all over it." Naruto said as he looked at the falling leaves. He walks forward making Tails follow after him.

"It does make sense." Tails said, looking thoughtful. "He must've made a machine to control the seasons. But why?"

"Who knows." Naruto shrugs. "Probably just to mess with us. Still all the same, we're gonna find it and destroy it. Come on!"

The two instantly ran off, going down a slope and a loop, and were sent flying into the air. They destroyed a few Badnik that spotted them and gathered some Rings. They jumped on a mushroom and landed on a platform, which had a box of Gold Rings

"Cool!" Naruto spin jumps it, collecting the Rings. The two fell down and landed on a large vine as they grind it.

"Yahoo!" Tails cheered.

"Yeah!" Naruto shouted happily.

The two jumped off the large vine and landed on a mushroom platform. They quickly jumped off it once they felt it shake and it fell.

They entered a mini cave where they saw a bunch of Gold Rings in circular motion. They gathered the Rings and exited the cave. They quickly noticed the season has once again changed.

"The season changed!?" Tails asked as he looked back at the cave they exited.

"Which season is this?" Naruto asked curiously. Everything looked grey and the mushrooms were green.

"When we first came here, it was summer." Tails explained. "The season we just left was autumn, so this must be winter."

"Winter?" Naruto released a breath and he could see it. "Something tells me we might be getting close to Eggman's machine. I can feel it."

Tails' fox ears twitched. "Right. In fact, we're so close, I can hear it!" His ears twitched again.

"I think I hear it too." Naruto said in a surprised tone.

"Wow! Guess great minds think a lot, huh?" Tails smiled.

"No, I mean I really hear it. Listen." Naruto told him.

They were quiet as they listened and sure enough they did hear something. It was an engine running.

"Eggman's Machine!" Naruto and Tails said at the same time.

They both ran off, going through a loop, before heading down a slope. They jumped on a platform and destroyed the Badniks that was there. The two jumped on a yellow spring as they soared across the sky.

They did a spin dash and landed back on the ground, they got trapped on some vines from the ground.

"What the-!?" Naruto was about to swear before he saw two Butterdroids coming to them. He grabs the using his ESP and smashed them.

He grabs Tails hand and ran forwards to get out the sticky vine. They got out and continued on to their destination.

They were getting closer now. They could hear the machine and it was coming from above them. They looked up and saw something which made Naruto raise a brow.

"What is that?"

"That's a pendulum." Tails replied.

"Pendulum? What's it for?" Naruto asked.

"Looks like our way of going up." Tails said, looking up and seeing there's upper level where the machine is located.

"Meh, let's take the easy way up."

Naruto grabs Tails and flies up, going through a tunnel and got out of it, prompting Naruto to stop using his ESP on them. The two continued to follow the path before their eyes widen as they saw the very device they were looking for.

"Boo-yah!" Naruto and Tails said happily. They both spin jumps the weather machine and destroyed it, making the season return to summer once again. Before they could celebrate, they felt and heard the ground rumbling below them.

Music: Boss [Sonic & Knuckles]

"Ohohohoho!" Dr. Nega came out of the ground, his Egg Mobile now heavily armored and with jets on it. "Surprise!"

"Dr. Nega!" Tails glared.

"Not that surprised." Naruto said. He does a Homing-Attack on the Egg Mobile.

"How dare you do that to my Jet Mobile!" Dr. Nega flew backwards, prompting Naruto and Tails to chase after him.

"Trying to run away? I won't let you Dr. Neggy!" Naruto smirks as he does a Spin Attack on the Jet Mobile.

"Stop that!" The Jet Mobile boosted backwards again. But that only cause the Duo to run faster after him.

Tails saw something up ahead and it made his eyes widen frantically. "Incoming Naruto!"

Naruto looks at the path before his eyes widen as well. He saw spiked ball hurdles ahead of them. "Whoa!" The two quickly jumped the hurdles while also ducking them.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Dr. Nega laughed at them. "Try and get me as you avoid them!"

"So that's his game huh? He's trying to use the hurdles to get us." Naruto thought to himself. He smirks to himself. "Well two can play that game! Grab on Tails!" He reached his hand out to Tails who instantly grabbed it. He used his ESP to fly in the air, just above the Jet Mobile.

"What!? That's cheating!" Dr. Nega exclaimed.

"Again, you have no room to talk about cheating! I told you that back at Stardust Speedway." Naruto said as a smirk appears on his face. "Besides we want to get a better view of the fireworks."

Dr. Nega raised a brow while Tails tilt his head to the side in confusion. "What fireworks?" The mad scientist asked. Naruto grins evilly at him, which made the scientist nervous all of sudden. He began to sniff something in the air.

"What's that smell?" If he didn't know any better, he would say it smells like a piece of paper was burning. So then what was making that whistling sound that sounds like a dynamite...coming from underneath his…

The mustache on Dr. Nega's face dropped as his face went comically pale. "Oh no."

"Oh yes."

BOOM!

Music End

A large explosion came from underneath the Jet Mobile, which in turn made multiple explosions around it as Dr. Nega screams comically. The Jet Mobile then crashed into a tree, while Naruto and Tails were running on the ground as they entered said tree through a hole and exited.

"Yeah! That was awesome!" Tails said happily. He turns to Naruto, who jumped on a capsule that held the captured Animals, releasing them from their prison as they ran off. "When did you put your tag bombs on Dr. Eggman?"

"Simple little buddy." Naruto said in a cocky manner as he rubbed his finger under his nose. "When I used my ESP to carry us, I also took and placed them underneath him when he wasn't paying attention."

A Flicky landed on Naruto's shoulder and chirps happily at them, making him turn to it slightly while Tails giggled in amusement. The three then heard something coming from the sky, which scared the Flicky as it flew away.

"What the hell?" Naruto asked in surprise. A large shadow looms over them, making them up and saw a flying battleship, with a Badnik piloting it. He groans as he hung his head. "Oh come on. He's got another one of those airships?"

Their eyes widened as they heard Dr. Nega's laughter. They looked up and saw him in his regular Egg Mobile flying above them.

"How do you like my Flying Battery, boys?" Nega asked as he enters the airship through a secret hatch door as it closed behind him.

"Oh no you don't." Naruto said as he and Tails quickly flew after him, before the airship gets further up to the clouds. Naruto honestly looked impressed at the Flying Battery. "Sheesh, first the Wing Fortress and now this? Well it is slightly bigger, but I'll give it a five out of ten."

Tails narrowed his eyes in thought as he examined the aircraft. "Hey, doesn't this warship seem familiar?"

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.

"Don't you remember when Angel Island was set on fire and we were being chased by a warship that dropped bombs on us?" Tails asked back.

"...Now that you mention it..." Naruto looks down for a moment before memories of that event crossed his mind. He was right. When they running across the jungle, they were being chased by an airship. But then that airship just left after they went through some trees...where Eggman suddenly appeared.

A blank look appeared on Naruto's face as he looks at the Flying Battery. It looked exactly like the same warship that bombed them despite the color change from it being green and now metallic gray. Then again, the jungle was covered in flames which changed the color of the environment and the warship which made it look green.

There's no doubt about it.

The Flying Battery is that very same warship that drop the bombs on them.

Naruto and Tails landed on the foothold of the warship, the blank look still present on Naruto's face.

"Tails."

"Yeah?"

"I'm going to enjoy destroying this airship." Naruto said, a dangerous glint in his eye as a savage grin appears on his face and he chuckled darkly which made his little partner to sweat drop nervously. "Let's go!"

Music: Flying Battery Zone (Act 1) [Sonic & Knuckles]

Naruto and Tails did a spin charge before spin dashing their way inside the Flying Battery. Once they did, they were immediately assaulted by a bunch of Badniks that were waiting for them, though Naruto put an end to them quickly.

As they continued their way throughout the gigantic blimp, they noticed a bunch of capsules were around. But whenever they jumped on them, the capsules didn't have any Animal inside. In fact half were used as springs while the other half released some Badniks as though they were a trap.

They also had to avoid some flame jets which nearly cooked Naruto's butt for a brief moment. The flame jets also acted as well which they learned when they stood on it for some time which put a lot of pressure on it. They even acted as hidden switches.

After going through that, they found themselves outside the Flying Battery where they had to avoid large propeller wings and the missiles that were sent their way.

But Naruto used those missiles as an advantage as he grabbed them using his ESP made an entrance back inside the Flying Battery. They went threw a bunch of rotating gates which Naruto and Tails used to go down a level or across a large gap.

They went back outside, this time below the giant flying fortress. They jumped across many platforms before going through the rotating machines once more. They landed on a foothold and spin dashed upwards, heading back inside before going through a loop and used a red spring to jump on a platform.

However, Naruto used his chakra to jump off the platform and land on the wall, running up it, with Tails flying in front of him. When they made it up top, they saw another capsule...by itself.

The two looked at each other with raise brows. Okay, something was not right with this. Even though this blimp is full of those fake/empty capsules, just seeing one by itself...all alone...with no other dangerous hazards near it, just told them that something was off with this one.

Naruto made a Shadow Clone appear next to him.

"Check that capsule out." Naruto ordered the clone.

"Got it."

The two watched as Clone Naruto walked up to the capsule, examining it. Clone Naruto even kicked it a bunch of times, a suspicious expression on his face. He looks up at the switch on top before jumps and landed on it.

Music: Sub-Boss [Sonic & Knuckles]

The moment he landed, two huge ball-and-chain arms came out from its sides, shocking the clone and the onlookers. Naruto and Tails even saw the capsule had eyes and was glaring up at Clone Naruto.

"What the hell?!" Clone Naruto shouted in surprise. He heard chain moving behind him and looks up to see the huge ball heading to him. "Ah crap."

The clone got destroyed by the huge ball but at the same the capsule...no Gapsule damaged itself, which Tails quickly noticed.

"Somehow I knew that was gonna happen." Naruto said, crossing his arms. "But I didn't think this thing was going to be a sub boss."

"It looks like we can't damage it head on." Tails told him. "Which means we have to make it…"

The eyes of the capsule looked their way before its eyes flashed. It raised its ball and slams it their way with Tails jumping away with a scream while Naruto casually avoided it with his hands behind his back. The ball retreated back to where it belong

"Attack itself?" Naruto asked. Tails nodded his head. "Pfft. This'll be over in a second." He jumps on top of the switch, the capsule's eyes locked on him. He saw the ball on the right getting ready to hit him. He smirks as he dashed upwards, making the ball hit the switch.

He held his hand out and used his ESP to hold the spiked ball in place. He smirks as he forced the ball up and hit the switch multiple times, making Gapsule's eyes pop out in comical pain.

"HAHAHA! Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!" Naruto laughed along with Tails.

A large vein appeared on Gapsule's as it glared at Naruto comically with tears swelling in its eyes. It used it's right side to try and get hit at Naruto...which is what he wanted.

The moment Naruto saw the ball heading towards, he 'stepped' to the side while releasing his hold on the other ball, causing both of them to slam into Gapsule, making its eyes go wide in shock.

Music Ends

Mini explosions erupted from Gapsule as the ball and chain arms fell off it. Before it exploded into pieces. Naruto and Tails were then surprised when they saw Animals escape the capsule.

"Huh. Who knew there were Animals inside." Naruto said as he landed next to Tails.

"Well, it was a capsule...and a Super Badnik." Tails pointed out as Naruto shrugs.

"In any case, let's find Dr. Moustache and try to blow this airship out of the sky." Naruto said.

Music: Flying Battery Zone (Act 2) [Sonic & Knuckles]

The duo went off once again to find Dr. Nega in this aircraft. They went up the wall and find the going up the rotating machines before spin dashing up on the ceiling and landed on the floor. They saw some mouse Badniks and destroyed them.

They jumped on some hangers which brought them downwards before they jumped and spin dashed across the way. They avoided many hazards that were in their way, which included spikes on the floor and walls.

Since there was so many passageways inside this blimp, Naruto decided which way would get them closer to Dr. Nega, with Tails following him. The only reason why Naruto knows where he's going because he seen flashes of Sonic running through this place and right now he's just going along with it.

They found some rotating drills going down and used the screws as an elevator. When they reached the bottom, they quickly left to avoid getting squished like a bug. They avoided some flame jets and along with the chained metal platforms that has spikes on their bottoms.

They destroyed the Badniks in their way and avoided more hazards. They then got another drill, this one taking them upwards. They got off and did a spin dash while also touching a dash pad, making them go faster as they went through the rotating machines and landed on the foothold on top of it. They ran ahead and saw Dr. Nega standing in front of a computer.

"Found ya Doc!" Naruto grins as he does a Homing Attack only for Negative to grin as he pushed a button and a barrier appeared. It ricochet Naruto back on the floor.

"Again with this barrier?" Naruto asked raising a brow and a smirk present on his face. "Come on Doc, I expected you to learn your lesson from last time you did this."

"Oh but I did." Dr. Nega pushed a button and a barrier appeared behind them, blocking the entrance which they came from.

"He blocked us!" Tails exclaimed.

"So how are you going to do this barrier thing this time?" Naruto asked, casually leaning on the barrier in front of Nega. He heard noises coming from above him, making him and Tails look up in confusion.

"Oh no~!" They said at the same time as their eyes widened. They gave out screams before diving out of the way as a laser fired at them, shaking the whole fortress.

"Hey! Watch where you're pointing that thing!" Naruto exclaims as he turns to glare at Dr. Nega. His eyes widen as the laser cannon moved along the roof to where he and Tails are at.

"I am…I'm pointing at you!" Dr. Nega laughed as he continued to push the button that fired the laser. The two split into as the cannon fired once again.

It was then Tails noticed the other barrier that blocked their entrance had moved a little closer than were it was before. He looks up at the laser cannon that was following Naruto. Once it fired and the Flying Battery shook again, the barrier got closer.

"Naruto! The barrier over here is moving closer to us!" Tails told Naruto, much to his disbelief. "If this keeps up we won't have any room to avoid the laser.

"Say what?!"

Dr. Nega laughed once again victoriously. "That's right Tails! And since you can't attack my laser eye directly, you both are doomed to be vaporized!"

Naruto and Tails ran around in random directions, avoiding the laser cannon as it tried to follow their movements. Once it was fully charged and was ready to fire, Naruto took out a kunai and threw it at the laser cannon, making electricity dance around it. It fired once more, this time with different results.

The laser cannon didn't stop and because of it, the whole warship kept shaking until loud explosions was heard. The explosion damaged the computer in front of Dr. Nega, much to his comical shock while the laser cannon exploded as well ceasing it to fire anymore laser.

"WAH! I'm outta here!" Dr. Nega cried out as he ran off just as the barriers went off.

"Hey! Get back here!" Naruto and Tails chased after him. They stopped as the Flying Battery continued to rumble and break apart.

"Whoa! We better get out of here quick!" Tails exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Naruto agreed

The two started their escape as they avoided many objects that fell to them. They also had to avoid getting crushed due to the ship literally falling apart on them. Once they finally escaped they were out in the open, still on the foothold.

"That was close." Tails said as Naruto smiled a little bit.

"At least we took down the Flying Battery." Naruto looks around the area. "We're out in the open and there's sign of Eggman. Now...where the hell is he?"

"HERE!"

Music: Boss [Sonic & Knuckles]

Naruto and Tails looked up and screamed before moving out of the way as something latched on the foothold. They looked up and their eyes widened.

Dr. Nega is in a lanky-armed machine that has spikes covering both arms. He glares comically at the two of them, fire coming out of his mouth. "AND YOU BRATS OWE ME A NEW AIRCRAFT! Charge Hang Mobile!" He charged at them while his machine spun around in place before hiding below them.

"Heads up!" Naruto and Tails quickly flew over to the other side of the foothold before Dr. Nega could get back up.

But then Naruto screamed in comical pain as his butt got caught by a flamethrower which made him fall and caused Tails to cry out in shock. He grabbed his adoptive brother by the foot and quickly landed.

"WAAAHHH!" Naruto shot up and frantically patted his burning butt as he ran back and forth. "My butt is on fire! My butt is on fire! Help!"

"Bwah!" Tails quickly went to the rescue as he too patted Naruto's butt.

Dr. Nega, who moved his mobile out in the open, watched the comical scene as he laughed and pointed at Naruto. In fact, he was laughing so much he fell back in his chair, shaking his legs wildly.

After a couple of seconds, the fire dies down making Naruto and Tails sigh in relief. They both glared at Dr. Nega, who continued to laugh and not pay attention to them. They glanced at each other before Naruto turned away and teleports in front of the mobile

However, both of his fists were covered in violet and purple pulsating spheres.

"Chaos Nightmare!"

Music Ends

Naruto punched Nega's mobile, using both of his fists, causing it to explode off of its spiked clamps. Dr. Nega screamed as his mobile spun around and disappeared from sight becoming a star.

"Laugh at that fatass!" Naruto shouted, a large vein hovering above his head. He took a deep breath and released it before flying back to Tails, who jumped on a capsule and released the Animals.

"You all better?" Tails asked

"Yes. Yes I am." Naruto nodded, he held his hand out. "Shall we?"

"Let's."

Naruto and Tails ran forward along the foothold. They entered a room before they did a spin dash at a door. But by doing so, they both began to descend to the ground.

"AAAAHHHHHHH!" The two screamed as they held each other. They went through a bunch of clouds, not paying attention to the fact that the color of the sky began to change from sunny to mid-day.

Music: Sandopolis Zone (Act 1) [Sonic & Knuckles]

They looked down to see where they were landing but only saw darkness. They landed in something soft and it sunk them to it. They did a spin jump out of wherever they landed in and sat on the ground.

Naruto spat out whatever was in his mouth while Tails shook his head and tilt his head to the side, making sand come out of his ears.

"Not the kind of landing I was expecting." Naruto said, spitting more stuff out of his mouth. He looks down saw there was sand everywhere, making him stand up in surprise. "Sand?! Whoa! Where is this? A beach or something?"

"No." Tails said, wiping the sand off his clothes. He got a good look around the sandy area, he could see palm trees and some pyramids in the distance. "I think we're in a desert!"

"A desert?!" Naruto asked in shock but groans. "Aw man! We're seriously in a desert? This is the first time I've been to a desert! I hope that we're aren't already."

"Don't worry Naruto." Tails smiled. "I'm sure we'll find a way out of here. All we gotta do is follow the path."

Naruto's eyes went flat from what Tails just said. He turns to look at him. "...what path?" He asked in a deadpan tone.

Tails blinks a couple of times as he saw the look his best friend gave him. He looks around again. "Well...um…" He sweat drops. That's right. They're in a desert. People get lost in a desert. He laughs sheepishly as he turns to Naruto. "Yeah. Good point."

Thanks to their enhanced hearing, the duo started to hear something from behind them. They looked back and saw Badniks heading towards them. They blinked at them before turning to each other and smiled at each other.

"Found it!" They said at the same time before smirking at the Badniks, which made them sweat drop fearfully. They destroyed the Badniks by spin jumping them before running off towards their destination.

As they journey across the shifty desert sands, the duo encountered many dangerous pits of quicksand. There were times when the duo had to use the sand-falls which allowed them move go upwards or made them follow the path. They even had to go through a loop twice before it made them go upwards a path.

They had to move some blocks out of their path and use them to travel. They even bungee jump down long ravines to progress further into their destination.

Once they went down one last ravine, the duo jumped off the wall and flips down into the center of sand-fall.

"Whoo!" Naruto wiped the sweat off his head while Tails used his twintails to fan himself. "I can't believe we finally made it through this Sandopolis."

"I'll say. We haven't even found a single Oasis out here." Tails said.

"Yeah. Now let's try and find a way out of this-" Naruto stops talking as he felt the ground below them shake. "Oh what now?!" He asked in shock.

"I don't know!" Tails exclaimed. He looks behind Naruto and his eyes widen in awe. "Look!"

Naruto turns back and his eyes widen while his jaw dropped in shock. A pyramid was rising out of the ground. This was just crazy! Not only is he having his first adventure going through a desert of a places but now he's actually about to going to explore a pyramid?!

How awesome is that?

While true, he never heard of pyramids before, basically because they don't even exist in his world and learned about them through Tails. In fact while he and Tails were always together, Tails would often teach many things he never heard of before, like Little Planet for example.

It just goes to show how big Naruto's world truly is and is all the more reason for him to want explore it.

Then again, South Island, West Side Island and Angel Island, along with Little Planet were from the Hedgehogs' world, that he knew for sure. But over time during his adventures, Naruto felt like he was experiencing what Sonic experienced when he traveled through those places...if those visions he keeps having mean anything to him.

It also made him wonder something...if the three islands and Little Planet are in this world now, then what about the other places from the Hedgehogs' world? Could they also be here as well?

Naruto shook his head. What the hell was he thinking at a time like this? He looks up just as the pyramid reached the top.

"Cool~" He said in awe. "So this what a pyramid looks like. The old man is going to flip when I tell him about this."

"Hey look Naruto. There's a door." Tails said, pointing at the door. He jumped and hid behind Naruto, who narrowed his eyes, as the door opened by itself.

They saw something emerge from inside the pyramid and was in front of them. And much to their confusion and surprise, it was large rock.

"Eh?" Before either of them could say anything else, legs began to appear from under the rock. "Eh?" Arms then appeared, and a second after, a head took form. "EHHHH?!"

"WAHH!" Tails screamed as he wailed his arms around. "It's a rock monster!"

"Rock monster? No problem!" Naruto said as he jumped and did a Homing Attack on the rock monster's head making it slid backwards as it's parts got destroyed. "See Tails? That thing is just...too...easy…?"

Naruto saw the rock monster reforms itself again and was now glaring at the two boys. The ultimate ninja sweat drops from that. "Ok. Really didn't know it could do that."

The rock monster, the Guardian, jumps at the duo making them jump back in surprise. Naruto runs forwards and attacks the Guardian again with a Spin Jump, only to get caught by its large hands and thrown away, earning a scream from him.

"Naruto!" Tails yelled watching Naruto about to fall into the quicksand. He sighed in relief when he used his ESP to float. He heard the ground tremble, making him jump in the air slightly. He stiffly looks behind him and saw the Guardian standing behind him.

"Um...hi?" Tails waved his hand nervously at the Guardian. He runs away from the only to stop as he was near the edge of the foothold, with quicksand below him. He turns to the Guardian and saw it was jumping towards him and he began to get nervous.

What could he do? If a spin attack won't hurt the Guardian then what will? How could he beat if it'll just reform again?

The fox genius looks at the quicksand pit before turning back to the Guardian. An idea formed in his head, a smirks forms on his face.

"Hey you giant rock! Is that really all you got?" Tails made goofy faces at the Rock Golem.

"..." The Guardian jumps once again with Tails running out of the way as the the Guardian landed. The Rock Golem turns to Tails only for the fox boy to Spin Attack it.

By doing so, the Guardian's body got sent into the quicksand. Surprisingly, the Guardian actually exploded while it sunk into the quicksand. Tails and Naruto, who landed next to him, watched on in surprise as the Guardian disappeared into the quicksand.

"Way to go Tails!" Naruto smirks at his little partner-in-crime as he pats his back, earning a laugh from him. "I knew you had it in you!"

"Aw shucks. It was nothing." Tails rubbed his head sheepishly.

The two heard something opening. They turned around and saw the door to the pyramid opened up. They walked towards it and stared into the pitch black darkness of the pyramid.

"Um, Naruto?"

"Yeah Tails?"

"I got a bad feeling about this."

"...me too bud."

The two glanced at each other nervously before they nodded, turning back to the inside of the pyramid. They walked inside it, with Tails holding Naruto's pants for comfort, just as the door closed behind them.

Music: Sandopolis Zone (Act 2) [Sonic & Knuckles]

Now inside the dark pyramid, the duo continued on their path to now try and find their way out of it.

"What's up with this place? Are all pyramids this dark and spooky?" Naruto asked as he and Tails went under a platform that was moving up and down. "Where the hell is a light switch when you...oh wait a second." He saw chain hanging from a ceiling. He jumps and hangs from it causing the lights to switch on. "Much better!"

"Cool!" Tails said, looking around the lighted pyramid. "If we see more of those chains, we should pull on them just in case it gets dark."

"You bet." Naruto dropped to the ground and the two of them continued on their way, jumping across the large pit sand with Tails hanging.

"Say, why do you think there are light switches in here?" Tails asked.

"Huh?" Naruto tilt his head to the side. "What do you mean? Don't all pyramids have light switches?"

"No. Well, sort of." Tails answered as he released the switch. "In pyramids, most switches are well hidden and are used for deadly traps. Plus, pyramids use torches as means for light since they were made a million years ago."

Naruto had a surprise look on his face. "Whoa really? So then why does this pyramid have light switches? You think Dr. Nega had something to do with it?"

"I don't think so. Not even Dr. Nega would installed light switches in here. Maybe the people who once lived on the island installed them." Tails thought, placing a hand under his chin. "But why though?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes in thought. He don't know why but he gets the feeling the light switches were put in to keep something away as it only appears in the dark. And for the first time since the start of his adventures, whatever it is these people were trying to keep away, Naruto definitely doesn't want to know what it is.

Naruto also noticed the room lit up again. He looks up in confusion and saw Tails hanging on the chain again.

"Um, it was starting to get dark again." Tails said sheepishly with a hint of nervousness.

"Damn, so the light switches have a time limit." Naruto snapped his fingers. "Well let's hurry up and get out of here. This place is giving me the creeps."

"Me too." Tails said, letting go of the chain.

The two ran off, jumping on a spring which launched them up a level as they flew past more footholds before they landed on a path.

They saw a loop ahead and they grinned at each other. They did a spin dash as they went around it twice before they were sent upwards, only to hit a red spring as it launched them downwards.

They then landed on a capsule, much to their surprise to actually find one this early. They expected to see Animals come out of the pyramid... but instead they saw these white floating orb things fly out of the capsule and vanished.

That made Naruto and Tails to blink in confusion. They turn to each other. "What was that?" They asked at the same time before they shrugged their shoulders.

Naruto was going to turn forward but stopped when something caught his attention. It looked like a black movable switch. His eyes widened as he had a vision of Sonic being in here and pushed it before leaving the room

"Something wrong?" Tails asked, noticing Naruto in a trance before he shook his head.

"Nope. Not at all." Naruto used his ESP and had the black switch covered in cyan aura, which got Tails' attention. He moved it forward just as they heard a door opening.

The ultimate ninja quickly grabbed Tails' hand and ran past the closing door. Naruto continued to run before his feet slipped on some sand and they were riding down a sand slope.

"WHOAAAAA!" The two screamed in excitement as they rode down the slope.

"Yahoo!" Naruto puts his hands up in the air.

"This is awesome!" Tails yelled. They landed on another slope which took them in the opposite direction. The fox boy also noticed that it was starting to get dark again as the lights got lower and dimmer. "Hey! The pyramid is gonna get dark again!"

The moment he said that, the lights went out, making the fox boy squeak in fear. Naruto grabs the frightened Tails and leaps off the slide, jumping off a platform and landed on the sandy stone floor.

"Hahaha! Now that's what I call a ride!" Naruto laughed. He turns to the scared Tails as he held his pants leg tightly and smirks in a teasing manner. "Scared of the dark Tails?"

"N-No way!" Tails cried out, releasing Naruto's leg and glared at him, though it looked like an adorable pout. "Hmph!" He turns away from him.

Naruto rolled his eyes playfully before turning forward and looked around in the dark. "Now where's that light switch?"

Tails still looked away from his best friend. He felt a tap on his shoulder, making him go stiff for a moment. "Stop it Naruto! That isn't funny."

Naruto blinks and looks to where he heard Tails' voice. "What's not funny?"

"You tapping my shoulder from behind me!" Tails exclaimed. He flinched as he felt the tap again. "Cut it out!"

"Uh, Tails. I'm right in front of you." Naruto stated.

Tails froze in place before his eyes widen in fear, trembling very weakly. "Well...i-if that's not you, then what is it?"

Naruto's eyes widened. He quickly raised his hand and chaos energy was gathered, emitting a light that drove away the darkness surrounding them. He lifted his hand, where Tails' voice was coming from.

And what he saw made him go chalk white.

"T...Tails…" Naruto said in a hushed whisper, but the fear in his voice was as clear as day. "Come close to me...and don't turn around."

Tails saw Naruto's expression and heard the obvious fear in his voice. He wanted to follow Naruto's orders but he couldn't do it. He also couldn't help but turn around. And what he saw sent chills of fear shooting down his body.

Floating in front of him, a few inches away from his face was what looked like a white sheet with horns. It black sharp eyes stared emotionlessly at Tails. It let out a high pitched giggle, scaring the fox boy silly as he instantly went behind Naruto.

"G...G...GHOST!"

"O-Okay. It's just one g-ghost after all." Naruto tries to smirk, trying to act tough in front of Tails. He definitely doesn't want to Tails know his fear of ghosts, despite his whole body shaking fearfully. "I can take him!"

The ghost let out another high pitched giggle as three more appeared next to it. Naruto and Tails went stiff staring at them with wide eyes. Their eyes widened further as they saw them grow three times their size, making them nearly as tall as Tails in his fox form.

"...Those what white orbs that were in the capsule earlier." Naruto said as he pointed at the Hyudoro. "I think we found them."

The high pitched giggle from the Hyudoro turned into terrifying growls as they charged at Naruto. "B-B-B-Back off jack!" He does a spin dash and charges at one of them. But just before he connected with them, they disappeared. Naruto uncurled, looking around for them. "Ha! Looks like I scared them off! You guys better run away from me!"

The ghosts then reappeared above and behind Naruto, making him sweat drop fearfully. "Okay. Plan B…RUN AWAY!"

The Leaf Genin spin dash to the ghost behind him, making it disappear, and uncurled himself as he grabbed Tails' hand. The Hyudoro blinked from the sudden action before they let out a loud growl as they chased after them.

"Dude! The hell is up with these guys!?" Naruto asked fearfully. Hearing a loud growl, he looks up and he let out a high pitched squeak as he saw the Hyudoro hovering above them. One of them charges at Naruto, making him kick it away as it disappeared. Another one popped out a second or two later.

"Shit! How do we get rid of them?"

Tails watched the ghosts as they repeatedly tried to attack Naruto. When they first came in here, it was so dark they could barely see, and then they found…that's it!

"The light switch!" Tails exclaimed. "That's why there are switches in here, to keep the ghosts away!"

Naruto looked to Tails with wide eyes before he grins. He looks up ahead and his grin widened further as he found what he was looking for. He looks at the ghosts, and their eyes showed a hint of nervousness.

"Eat light bastards!"

Naruto grabbed hold on the handle bar and a sudden brightness filled the whole pyramid, making the two heroes close their eyes tightly as they heard an ear piercing screech come from the ghosts. Once their eyes adjusted to the light, they noticed the ghosts have disappeared.

The heroes sighed in relief.

"That was close. What were those things?" Tails asked.

"Don't know. Don't care." Naruto deadpanned, still holding onto the bar. "Let's just find a way out of this haunted pyramid!" He let of the handle and ran off at high speed.

"W-Wait for me!" Tails quickly followed after him.

The duo continued their way in the hopes of finding a way out of the haunted pyramid. While doing so, they kept finding more switches that leads to a door opening to a room. They also made very sure to be on the lookout for any light switch that comes their way, making sure to activate it and not let Hyudoro come out again.

They even tried to find a shortcut, only to run into sand flows which raises the ground level in a room, which in turn made them also get crushed.

The duo made it outside a room and saw a loop. They spin dashed through the loop twice before they went through the ground, landing on a sandslide.

They instantly jumped off of it and fell through a pit. They landed and a switch for the entrance to a lower level. They pushed it just enough for when there's space for them to enter at the same time.

The duo landed on the sandy floor and saw they were in a large room where there was light. Not torches mind you, but actual lights.

"YES! Full lights! We made it! We made it! We made it!" Naruto and Tails cheered as they danced happily.

"Now let's get outta here." Naruto said happily. He turns to exit but blinked in confusion. "Hey check it out."

A tall, stone sphinx stood in front of the exit. It is about seven times Naruto's height. It is clad in stone armor and has spikes on the front of its feet as well as on its torso. At the top, there is a green gem resembling an eye.

"What's up with the statue?" Tails asked.

"I don't know." Naruto shook his head and ran towards it. "C'mon. Help me move it." The young heroes went to the statue to try and move it, but due to its massive size it wouldn't budge.

"Come on. Move you stupid-!" Naruto punched it to try and destroy, only to hear a metallic sound. He looks at his fist then to the statue in confusion. "...rock?"

Tails stopped trying to move it when he heard the clank sound. He looks at Naruto then to the statue, a thoughtful look on his face. He used the back of his knuckle to knock on the statue, hearing more metallic "clank". He looks at Naruto over his shoulder.

"Naruto? I don't think this is a statue."

Before Naruto could say anything, the duo heard something from above them. They look up and saw the green gem glowing. But they also the "statue" starting to move as well.

Tails backed away from it in fright while Naruto looked surprise but still back away.

The statue slammed it hands to the ground where the duo were, making them leap backwards.

"It's a robot?!" Naruto asked.

Music: Boss [Sonic & Knuckles]

The statue then moved towards them, making them taking their fighting stance. The green gem on its head glowed before it fired a green laser at them.

Naruto does a spin dash and launched himself at the statue. The moment he landed a direct hit, he got the rings knocked out of him...along with a large comical bump on his head.

"Ouch." Naruto's eyes widen as he rolled out of the way from the large hand that was going to squish him like a bug. "YOWZA!" He jumps to avoid the laser.

Tails watched on as Naruto tried to figure out a way to stop the moving large statue. He looks behind him and saw a wall behind him. "At the rate this is going, we might get crushed!" He turns to the statue and sae the gem glowing again.

A light bulb appears above his head.

"Naruto! Attack the head!"

"Got it!" Naruto jumps on the hand of the statue and spin attacks it. The moment he did, the stone tiles receded and revealed Dr. Nega inside the golem.

Music Stop

Naruto blinked.

Dr. Nega blinked.

Naruto's eyes narrowed into a glare as a grin forms on his face. The mad scientist sweated in fear.

"Um...hello?"

"Goodbye."

Naruto spin dashed through the Egg Mobile and through to the parts connected to it.

"NO! MY PRECIOUS EGG GOLEM!" Dr. Nega wailed comically as he flew away. "Of all the rotten luck! I thought those ghosts would've taken care of them. And I spent forever trying to get them inside the capsule!"

Naruto and Tails chased after him and made it out of the room. They saw a capsule sitting there by its lonesome.

"There better not be ghosts in this one." Naruto said. He jumps on the capsule...and much to his and Tails' joy, the capsule had Animals! "Sweet!"

"Hooray!" Tails jumps in joy.

The Animals cheered around them before they left to escape the haunted pyramid.

"See you later guys." Naruto waved goodbye to them.

"Be careful everyone." Tails waved as well. He turns to Naruto. "Bought time for us to get too, right?"

"Oh you have no idea." Naruto said, jogging to a room with his sidekick behind.

Tails then smirks at him. "So you're scared of ghosts too huh?"

"No I wasn't!" Naruto exclaimed, glaring at Tails. He turns away with a huff. "I was just...caught by surprise by them."

"Sure you were." Tails said, not believing him in the slightest. He saw the look of fear on his face when he first saw them. He was as white as a ghost himself. And as they traveled through the pyramid, he heard him muttering "Keep the lights on" over and over again.

"Oh whatever Tails. You were scared t-AAAAAAHHHHHH!" The moment Naruto entered the room, he fell through a large hole.

"NARU-AAAH!" Tails screams also as he fell through the hole as well.

"Why does this always happen to us?!" Naruto shouted.

Land of Fire: Silene Town

Blaze sighed as she sat down on a roof and looks around the town she was in. She's been traveling throughout the Land of Fire for days now, though it feels like it's been almost weeks at most. Since then whenever she needed a break, she would always make a quick stop at a local town around the area.

She was also running out of food. The food themselves were gifts from local townspeople since she was a...foreigner to them and they wanted to make sure that she stayed healthy out there. There were even times when they would try to give her a weapon or two to make sure she defended herself from any bandits she might come across.

Though the truth is, during her journey she ran into some bandits, who were either trying to rob her, kidnap her, enslave her...or worst.

The Fire Princess immediately put an end to those disgusting vermin as she gave each of them severe burns that would take forever to heal properly. She doesn't regret her action one bit. After all, her father has taught her many things when it comes to outside world and when dealing with men like them.

"Do not hesitate against enemies that threaten you, your loved ones and others, my child. Make them regret it severely."

Is what he told her. And she did. She made sure to teach those bandits a good lesson when it comes to underestimating someone, especially a 12 year old princess who has the powers of flame.

She looks around Silene Town once again. This town is one of the most average town in the whole Land of Fire. There were shops, homes, stores, and along with a small gambling house.

But the one thing that makes this town special is the legend of an extremely rare flower that has special power.

From what she heard, this flower has the power to heal any sickness, rather it's known or unknown. Rumors also said that the flower can grant the user an incredible power the likes of which has never been seen before.

The town was once filled with dozens of these incredible flowers and the people used them to heal the sickness away from their loved ones.

But when word has spread about the flowers, many people both shinobi and civilians wanted to take the flowers and use them for their own selfish needs. The shinobi wanted to use the flower as a weapon to use against their enemies, while everyone else just wanted have the power that it held. And because of that, the flowers became extinct and were never seen from again.

Blaze sighs softly. "What am I doing? Thinking about some legend." She'll stay here for one more day, and after that it's back to her journey to the Leaf Village. She stood up and was about to jump off the roof but a noise caught her attention.

"WHERE IS SHE?! WHERE THE HELL DID THAT WOMAN GO!?"

Blaze blinked at the shouting and looks down. She sees a group of four men running around looking for someone, each one of them looking quite angry. One of them noticed her sitting on the roof.

"Hey kid, did you happen to see a woman around?"

"A woman?" Blaze asked.

"Yeah!" Another nodded. "She has light blond hair, brown eyes, a purple mark on her forehead and has a huge rack I've ever seen before!"

That last comment made Blaze's eyebrow twitch in annoyance.

"Yeah! That damn woman ran off on her debt! She owe us a lot a money which she never had to begin with!" The third one said, who held an empty briefcase, showing it to Blaze.

"She also came with a woman with short black hair and carried a pig!" The fourth man said.

Blaze had half lidded gaze on her face. Debt collectors huh? And from the sound of it, it looks like this woman owes them a lot of money, meaning she's a gambler. She sighs and shook her head.

"My apologies, but I have never seen such woman."

"Damn it! She probably left town already!" One of the men cursed.

"Split up and keep finding her! The Legendary Sucker can't hide forever!"

The group of men separated and ran off in different directions. Blaze raised an eyebrow at the bizarre title.

"Legendary...Sucker?" She asked in confusion. Was this woman so bad at gambler that she got her own title as result? The Sol Princess simply sighed and shook her head. "I know you're here. Come out of hiding."

…

…

...

"So you were able to sense us. That's not bad kid." A feminine voice spoke up.

Blaze gained a stoically expression. "Who are you-!?" She turns to the person who appeared behind her before she did a large spit take in shock.

There stood a fair-skinned slender woman of curvaceous frame with above-average height and noticeably large breasts. She has brown eyes and straight blonde hair that parts above her forehead. Her hair has shoulder-length bangs that frame her face and the rest reaches her lower-back.

She wore a grass-green haori. Underneath she wears a grey, kimono-style blouse with no sleeves, held closed by a broad, dark bluish-grey obi that matches her pants. Her blouse is closed quite low, revealing her sizeable cleavage. She wears open-toed, strappy black sandals with high heels. She has red nail polish on both her fingernails and toenails and uses a soft pink lipstick. She wore a necklace.

In Blaze's eyes, this woman was definitely beautiful, but she didn't care about that. No, she cared about the very large breasts this woman has, which the Princess become very jealous and angry as she hugged her own chest.

She watched as everytime the woman moved, her breasts would jiggle making her glare at them in slight envy.

"You know kid…" The woman's voice snapped Blaze out of her thoughts, getting her attention. "Only few people can sense someone like me. And I'm considered a pro at hiding my signature. So either I'm getting rusty or you're just that good."

"It's the latter." Blaze said in a stoic tone. She stood up and turns around to face the woman trying her hardest not to stare at the woman's chest in jealousy. "Now, who are you?"

The woman blinked in surprise. "You...never heard of me?"

"Am I suppose to?"

"...Good point." The woman shrugged uncaring.

"Lady Tsunade! There you are!"

Blaze and the woman, Tsunade, looked to the left and saw another woman land in front of them.

She is fair-skinned of average height and slender build with onyx eyes and jet-black hair; her hair is straight and shoulder-length with bangs that cover her ears and frame her face. She wears a long bluish-black kimono with white trimmings, held closed by a white obi, and open-toed sandals with low heels.

In her arms she held a pig. It is of a light pinkish colour, much like any other ordinary pig. It's cheeks blush in a darker shade of the same tint as her skin. She is wearing a pearl collar and a dark red jacket.

"Oh hey Shizune, Tonton." Tsunade said.

"Don't just say 'Hey'!" Shizune cried out comically before she shut her mouth with her hand. She looks down and saw no one was paying attention and the men weren't in the area. She turns to her master. "We've been looking everywhere for you Lady Tsunade! I can't believe you left us again!"

"Oink!" Tonton agreed.

"Oh relax, you two. We got out of there fine didn't we?" Tsunade asked, waving her hand up and down.

"Are you kidding me?! After you ran away, they chased us all through town! We had to hide in someone's bathroom!" Shizune exclaimed comically as she stomped her foot, with Tonton nodding in agreement.

Blaze watched the interaction between the two, three if you count the pig, with a small sweat drop running down her head. Is that Tsunade woman really the one those men were looking for? Just who exactly were they?

Shizune was about to go off again until she noticed Blaze staring at the two with a stoic expression. "Oh? Who's this?"

"Well, that's what I wanted to know until you showed up and interrupted her." Tsunade said, which made Shizune sputter comically. She turns and smiles slightly. "Anyway, name's Tsunade kid. The woman over there is my apprentice Shizune and the little pig is Tonton."

"H-Hello nice to meet you." Shizune said as he rubbed her head sheepishly. "And sorry about what you witnessed just now."

"Oink oink!" Tonton greeted.

"Well? Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" Tsunade asked.

"My name is Blaze." The Fire Princess replied.

"Blaze? That's a pretty unique name." Shizune commented.

"I'll say. Thanks for not ratting me out Blaze, guess I owe ya." Tsunade thanked her.

"Don't worry about it." Blaze said.

"Excuse me for asking, but are you new around here Blaze?" Shizune asked curiously. "You look like a foreigner."

It was true. Blaze gave off this feeling that she wasn't from around here or in any other Lands in the Shinobi World. It was also her appearance that told her that she was foreigner as she never seen clothes or footwear like that.

"You could say that." Blaze admitted. She doesn't know why but something in her heart told her to trust these women. "Right now, I'm trying to find this village in the Land of Fire."

That caught the two women's attention. Blaze noted that Tsunade had a cold look on her face as she turns away slightly while Shizune looked surprised.

"A village? You must mean the Hidden Leaf Village, right?" Blaze nodded. "Why you going there?"

"..." Blaze was silent as she looked to the side slightly, which got their attention more on her more.

"Oink?"

"Blaze?"

"There's someone in the village…" Blaze said as her cheeks turned red slightly. "Who I want to see again."

"...Oh ho!" Tsunade laughed a little. "I see. You're boyfriend is there right now, huh?"

Blaze did another spit take as she turns to Tsunade. "NO! He is not my boyfriend! He's just...I-I mean…" She turns away and played with her hair.

Seeing the cute reaction made Tsunade and Shizune laugh at her. Blaze turns around and glares at them in annoyance, her face still heated.

"Shouldn't you still be hiding? Those men are still after you." She told them.

"Meh, I wouldn't worry about them." Tsunade said back. "Even if they did try to catch me, they'll just be sent to the hospital."

Blaze raised a brow at that. But then she sighed and shook her head. She didn't have time to deal with this. "If you say so. I wish you three the best of luck then."

"Whoa! Whoa! Hold on a sec!" Tsunade exclaimed. "You leaving already?"

"Yes. It's been so long since I've seen him and...I miss him dearly. It's very important to me that I see him again." The Princess said which surprised Tsunade and Shizune at the sincere tone in her voice.

"You must really care about him." Shizune said.

Blaze nods and a small smile forms on her face as she thought about the young Naruto smiling happily at her.

"Hmph!" Tsunade smirks. "Alright then kid, as thanks for not ratting, I have decided to show you the right way to the Leaf Village."

"Really?" Blaze and Shizune asked at the same time.

"Of course!" Tsunade said happily. "After all, it's important for a young maiden to meet her one true love."

"He's not my-!"

"Aha! There you are!"

The three females and pig looks down from the roof and saw one of the men glaring at Tsunade comically. He looks down.

"Hey guys! I found her! She's up here!" The moment he said those words, the group of men appeared and surrounded them, though this time, there were more of them.

Blaze and Tsunade remained unfazed by this but Shizune and Tonton looked comically scared and nervous.

"Oh no! We've been caught!" Shizune called out.

"Alright Miss Legendary Sucker! You have a debt to pay!" The Leader of the group said.

"Hey hey guys. Let's all just calm down before things get outta a hand." Tsunade said in a carefree tone.

A large vein appeared over the Leader's head. "Things already got outta hand when you tricked us with that fake money you had on you!"

"Oh that? That's all just in the past, can't you just let it go?"

"It happened 15 minutes ago!" The group of men yelled comically with large heads, blowing the woman's hair back.

"Um, Blaze?" Shizune whispered in Blaze's ear, getting her attention. "We better step back."

Blaze didn't comment but listened to her regardless.

"Enough of this crap! Teach her a lesson boys!" The Leader ordered as they surrounded Tsunade. He grinned in a comical evil manner as he cracked his knuckles. "NOW! GET THAT HAG!"

Shizune and Tonton paled in fear at what the Leader said. "Oh no…" She turns to Tsunade and sweated when she saw her head down. She grabbed Blaze's hand, using her free hand while she still held onto Tonton. "RUN AWAY!"

"Wha…?" Before Blaze could ask, Shizune instantly ran away while still holding onto her.

The men gave battle cries as they charged at Tsunade, who remained where she was. She looked up as veins were pulsing all over her face.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!"

Hearing the loud explosion made Blaze turn back in shock. Her jaw instantly dropped in a comical manner as she saw the building they were on was completely destroyed. She heard the cries of the men falling from the sky and noted that they landed in the lake not too far from the town.

"Oh why? Oh why? Oh why? Oh why did they have to call her the H word?!" Shizune cried out in complete fear, still running and holding onto Blaze, ignoring the comical looks on the townspeople's faces. "Anyone who calls her that will suffer her wrath!"

"Oink!" Tonton cried out in agreement.

Blaze still looked at the destroyed building in complete shock. Did that woman Tsunade actually do that?! She couldn't believe such raw power the woman had in her person.

"Wait...Tsunade introduced Shizune as her apprentice." Blaze thought as she remembered their introduction. "Does that mean...these two are shinobi?"

If that's true then Tsunade must be a very powerful shinobi with such incredible power. Yet she's here in this town gambling and running off on her debts.

"...It would be best if I keep my money out of her sight." Blaze deadpans. She hoped this will be a short journey with these two women...along with the pig.

Angel Island: Lava Reef Zone

Music: Boss Theme (Sonic & Knuckles)

"Let's see you try and avoid me now Naruto!" Dr. Nega laughed evilly, watching as Naruto and Tails were jumping on rocks to them from falling into the lava.

"This is a dirty trick Nega!" Naruto exclaimed.

Naruto and Tails were facing against Dr. Nega's Hot Mobile. They were avoiding the Hot Mobile and keep themselves from falling into the lava.

"Damn it!" Naruto cursed as Dr. Nega laughed again, vanishing into the lava. "At the rate this is going, we're gonna be here all day!" He glares comically at the small spiky balls in the lava. "And those landmines Nega keeps on launching at us is doing little damage to him!"

"What do we do?" Tails asked.

Naruto could sense Nega was getting ready to come out again on the other side. He looks at the landmines and an idea forms in his head. Using his ESP, he gathered up the landmines together and held them above his head.

"Gotta time this just right." He muttered to himself. He saw a ripple in the lava. "Wait for it…"

"Here I-!"

"Chaos Control!" All of time stopped when those words were said. Naruto could see the Hot Mobile out in the open. Naruto grins as he sent the mines at the exposed Mobile. He snaps his finger as time returns to normal.

And a large explosion erupted from the Hot Mobile as the landmines exploded on it.

"This isn't the end!" Dr. Nega exclaimed as the Hot Mobile sunk into the lava.

Music End

The duo watched as the lava suddenly began to cool down and get hardened.

"Huh. That's weird." Tails commented.

"You know what's not weird? Me kicking Knuckles' moronic ass for that earlier stunt." Naruto said flatly.

*Flashback*

Music: Lava Reef Zone (Act 2) [Sonic & Knuckles]

"What the hell is up with this underground cavern?!" Naruto asked in comical anger. "When is this going to end?!"

As the duo traveled through the Lava Reef, by falling from the Sandopolis, they've been traveling non-stop throughout the boiling hot network of mines, trying to escape it before they die because of the heat. While doing so, they came across a pair of bullet shooting tentacles, which they immediately destroyed and a giant metal hand near the end of the mine. At first, they were confused about the hand and wondered what it was even doing here.

After the lava cooled down and hardened, they continued onwards and were now in a massive crystal cavern filled with dangerous obstacles.

...only to end up getting lost.

Right now, the duo were resting on a platform. Naruto sighs tiredly as he wiped the sweat off his brow. "We need to get out of here. Now!"

"Yeah!" Tails agreed as he used his twintails to fan himself. He sighs tiredly as well. They've been traveling in this cavern for a while now and it's like getting lost in a maze. He lied down and looks up a dazed look on his face. "And we're still not close enough to find the Death Egg."

"Hm." Naruto nods, lying down as well, looking up at the cavern. "I wonder where that thing could...have...landed…?" Something caught his attention. He narrowed his eyes in confusion as he saw a...a face? He sat up, his eyes still on the face. "Say Tails?"

"Hm?" Tails hums, signaling he heard him.

"Am I going crazy? Or do I see a face sticking out from above the cavern?" Naruto asked, making sure he wasn't the only one to see the face.

Tails blinked in confusion before he sits up and looks around. "What face?"

Naruto grabbed Tails by his head and made him turn to where he was facing. Tails narrowed his eyes as he got a closer look. "That is a face!" His eyes widened for a split second before he turns to his older brother figure. "Say...didn't the Death Egg land on top of a volcano?"

That made Naruto's eyes to slowly widen in shock. He looks at the face and narrowed his eyes closer to look at the face. Now that he saw it looked an awful lot like Dr. Nega.

"YES! We found it!" Naruto cheered as he jumped in joy. "We actually found the Death Egg!"

"YAY!" Tails jumped in joy.

"Follow that Death Egg!"

So, with newfound energy in their system, the duo traveled to where the Death Egg was at. They could see they were getting closer and closer to it as they jumped off the grumbling platforms. Yes! They were almost there! Just a little closer! They jumped on the steps before they saw a large boulder in their path.

"You guys aren't going any further than that!" A voice said behind the boulder.

"Knuckles-WAHHH!?" Naruto screams as the boulder fell off the steps and he got caught in it.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" Tails jumped in comical shock as he turns and ran away...only to get caught by the boulder as well.

The boulder rolled for a couple of seconds before it dropped due to a crumbling platform.

*Flashback End*

After that event, the Death Egg activated itself and it got extremely hot in the area they were at. Then Dr. Nega showed up and launched missiles at them, destroying the platforms they were on and that's how they got into the situation they were in with the Hot Mobile.

"Alright, let's get outta of here and beat the shit outta of Knuckles." Naruto said as he cracked his knuckles, cominal veins popping out of his face, the more he kept thinking about the boulder. "Something's telling me he's up ahead."

"Right!"

The duo ran across the cool hardened lava and onto the next area. They now found themselves in secret chamber.

"Wow...where are we now?" Tails asked

"It's like we're in some...Hidden Palace." Naruto said.

Music: Hidden Palace Zone [Sonic & Knuckles]

"It's funny. It feels like we've been here before." Tails said, looking around the chamber.

"I think we have been here before." Naruto stated. "Let's take a closer look."

"Okay." Tails nodded.

They sped forwards across the Zone. So far, they haven't seen any Badniks, meaning that this was definitely a hidden chamber that not even Dr. Nega knows about. They only dangerous hazards were the spikes.

Naruto suddenly stopped as he sensed something nearby. Tails seeing this stopped as well and looked at Naruto, seeing him staring up at something.

"What are you looking at?" Tails asked, looking at something. "Do you see something?"

"I think so…" Naruto said as he got covered in a cyan aura. "Stay here real quick, I'll be right back." He flew upwards, leaving Tails behind, who only looked confused.

Once he made it, he saw there was higher level in this zone...and there was something there. It was glowing white ball of light being surrounded by...a rainbow aura.

"No way…" Naruto whispered as he looked at the Light Speed Shoes before looking back at the ball of light. He instantly flew towards it and landed in front of it. He walks past the rainbow aura as it erupted and the ball of light entered Naruto's being as faint sparkles are seen around him.

He suddenly had a vision of Sonic and Shadow finding these lights as well and once they absorbed them, they attacked their enemies so fast, he couldn't see them.

"This is the Ancient Light. With this power, you'll be able to perform the Light Speed Attack."

Naruto looks at his body. He could feel the power of this Ancient Light flowing through him. "Awesome!" He jumps off the higher level and dived down to Tails, landing in front of him which also startled him. "I'm back!"

"I'll say. What were you doing up there?" Tails asked curiously, which made Naruto chuckle.

"I'll tell ya later." Naruto said.

"Aw, now I really wanna know." Tails pouted.

"Again, I'll tell ya later." Naruto repeated, walking in front of Tails.

They entered a room with the only thing was a big, glowing, crimson marble orb, with a small ring-shaped structure around it.

"What's this thing?" Naruto asked curiously, touching the orb.

"It must do something if it's the only thing in this world." Tails said. He jumps on the orb to sit on it, but by doing so the orb began to emit a pillar of light that made the young fox boy disappear.

"TAILS!?" Naruto yelled in surprise. The weird glowing orb thing just teleported his buddy somewhere else! "Hang on buddy, I'm coming!" He jumps on the pillar and he found himself going upwards and into another area. He steps off the orb and looks around for him. "Tails! Where are you?"

"I'm here!"

Naruto turns to Tails and saw him looking up at something. He walks up to Tails and turns to what he was looking at, only for his eyes to widen in surprise.

"What?! Oh no!" The Death Egg is beginning to fly out of the volcano.

"The Death Egg is starting to fly off! We gotta hurry!" Tails said in a rush.

"Right! Let's go!"

Naruto and Tails followed the path to where the Death Egg was at. As they did, they entered a room and noticed a mural on the wall. The mural depicted of a giant man with a mustache and large arms, holding the Master Emerald, while the other showed a blue hedgehog surrounded by a yellow aura.

"Is that...Sonic?"

"Naruto!"

"Wha-?" Naruto got punched back, making him let go of Tails. "Again!?" He glares at ahead and saw Knuckles glaring at the two as he bumps his fists together.

"Since Eggman hasn't taken care of you clowns yet, and seeing how you haven't left, it looks like I'm gonna have to care of you thieves myself." Knuckles said.

"Okay, you know what? I've had it!" Naruto exclaimed, standing up. "We aren't the bad guys here! Eggman has been using you the whole entire time, to distract you so that he can take the Master Emerald from under your nose!"

"Like I would listen to the words of a ninja!" Knuckles shot back, making Naruto look surprise. "Yeah, I know who you are Mr. 'Future Hokage of the Village Leaves' or whatever it's called. It's obvious you're here to take the Master Emerald for your village! What does Hokage even mean?"

"Oh for the love of-no you know what? I'm not even gonna explain it to you!" Naruto exclaimed. "I'm just gonna do what I should've done since you punched me!"

"And what's that?" Knuckles asked. He got his answer when Naruto spin dashed into his stomach, knocking him back.

"That!"

Battle Music: Knuckles' Theme [Sonic & Knuckles]

"Oh...it's on!" Knuckles roared as he charged at Naruto, who charged in as well and roared.

"Bring it on Chuckles!"

Their fists clashed with each other before Naruto went in for a roundhouse kick. Knuckles dodged the kick and went in for the punch but Naruto back away. The red haired youth wasn't finished yet as he sent a bunch of fast jabs at Naruto, who continued to back away from him.

Naruto jumps backwards to avoid another fast jab. He then flips and does an axe kick to Knuckles, who caught it and grabbed Naruto to spin him around. He then threw him against the wall but he flips and got covered by a cyan aura.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Six clones of Naruto appeared and surrounded Knuckles, who could only gape in comical shock.

"What the hell?!" Knuckles yelled. Since when can ninjas make clones of themselves?! Eggman never told him about this!

"Get him!" The real Naruto ordered as the clones gave battle cries and charged at the shell shocked Knuckles, who immediately snapped out of it.

Knuckles punched a Naruto in the face, only for it to disappear in a cloud of smoke. "A fake!" So that's it. While the clone felt real, it could only take one hit and it'll disappear.

A Naruto clone attempts to punch Knuckles across the face, only for him to dodge it, only to get hit by another clone's Homing Attack as he got pushed back.

The rest of the clones attempts to attack Knuckles by dog piling him. The guardian however grins as he punched the ground, sending a shockwave that blew the clones away and made them disappear.

However, after punching the last clone, the real Naruto appeared within the smoke and punched Knuckles across the face before kicking him away.

"That all you got Chuckles?!" Naruto asked, running after him.

"I'm just getting started Fishcakes!" Knuckles roared, charging at Naruto.

"Stop calling me Fishcakes bastard!" Naruto punched Knuckles' stomach.

"Then stop calling me Chuckles asshole!" Knuckles gave a right hook to Naruto's face.

"Moron!"

"Idiot!"

"Jackass!"

"Loser!"

Nearby Tails watched the two fight with a sweat drop running down his face. What turned into a serious fight earlier suddenly turned comical as the two were in a cloud of dirt and calling each other names, they were also rolling around on the ground.

The two suddenly did a spin dash at each other and got knocked back. Naruto then grabbed Knuckles using his ESP and threw him into a pillar.

"Um…"

Naruto and Knuckles suddenly gave out battle cries as they charged at each other, their fists pulled back. Once they were close enough, they punched each other at the same time on their cheeks, making them fly back away from each other.

Naruto stood up from his spot and glared at Knuckles, who stood up as well and glared right back.

Before they could say or do anything however, an explosion shook the room they were in.

"Whoa! What's going on?!" Tails asked.

"I don't know!" Naruto said.

Music: Boss Theme [Sonic & Knuckles]

An alarmed look came on Knuckles' face. "No! The Master Emerald!" He ran past Naruto and left them in the room.

"Come on!" Naruto told Tails as he followed Knuckles, with his best friend following after him.

Knuckles ran into the entrance of the shrine and skids to a stop as a shocked look appeared on his face.

"EGGMAN?! What do you think you're doing?!"

Naruto and Tails entered soon after and saw both the Super Emeralds and Master Emerald. They looked up and saw Dr. Nega in his Egg Mobile holding the Master Emerald.

"I'm here to claim my prize of course!" Dr. Nega said happily. "And I couldn't have done without you distracting those two brats from me! So thank you very much, you gullible fool!"

Knuckles was now beyond angry. So those two were telling the truth after all! Nega was only using him so that he keep them busy while he went after his Master Emerald! And he fell right into that bastard's slimy little hands!

"PUT THAT BACK NOW!" Knuckles roared out as he grabs hold of the Master Emerald.

"Bah! I don't have time for this!" Dr. Nega pushed a button and two mechanical lines came out. They went towards Knuckles and they electrocuted him.

"Knuckles!" Naruto and Tails called out as the Guardian fell off the Master Emerald. They ran towards him, not paying to the fact that Eggman launched two mini missiles at them.

"So long boys!"

Music End

The missiles hit the floor beneath them, making a hole large enough for three of them to fall into at same time. before they landed on the floor.

Naruto stood up and shook his head, glaring upwards. "Damn it! He got the Master Emerald!"

Tails looks up worriedly "Oh man. With its power, Eggman will be able to launch the Death Egg!"

"And without the Master Emerald, this whole island will stay down to the service and won't be able to fly." Knuckles added in, punching the ground in frustration. "Shit! I can't believe I got myself tricked like that! I...I should've listened to you guys…and because of me..." He bowed his head in shame. "The Master Emerald is…"

Naruto and Tails looked at Knuckles sadly. They honestly couldn't blame him. After all, from what they've been hearing, Knuckles takes his job as a guardian very seriously and will do whatever it takes to protect the Master Emerald. And from the looks of it, this looks like it's the first time since the Master Emerald was taken under his watch.

"So that's it? You gonna give up? Just like that?" Naruto asked, bringing attention to himself. "Eggman may have the Master Emerald now, but that doesn't mean he's won. We're going to get back that emerald and stop him from taking over our planet!"

Naruto walks up to the kneeling Knuckles and held his hand towards him, making him look up at him in confusion.

"But we can't do it without your help. So are you gonna stay here and wallow in self pity for failing, or are you gonna fight and take back your emerald?"

Knuckles stares at the offered hand then to Naruto. He closed his eyes and smirks to himself. The ninja's right. He can't just stay here because he failed his duty. He's the guardian of the Master Emerald! His job is to protect the Master Emerald at all costs, no matter what. And that's exactly what he's planning to do!

"I think the answer is obvious." Knuckles opens his eyes and grabs the offered hand, making Naruto grin at him as he helped pull him up.

"So how do we get out of here?" Tails asked.

Knuckles walks up to a wall and looks over his shoulder at them. "Follow me." He punched the wall to make a large hole and enters the room with Naruto and Tails following him.

They watched as Knuckles jumps into another one of those glowing orbs and got sent upwards. Naruto jumps in a second later with Tails jumping in after them.

?

The trio appeared out of the orb and landed on the ground. Naruto and Tails looked around in amazement.

"Awesome! Where is this place?" Tails asked in awe.

"We're...in Sky Sanctuary." Knuckles said in exhaustion.

Music: Sky Sanctuary [Sonic & Knuckles]

Naruto and Tails stared off into the great Sky Sanctuary. There were a whole collection of ancient ruins surrounding the sky and somehow they were floating.

"Cool~" Naruto said. "This place seems more like a Sky Palace, but yeah, Sanctuary sounds better. Hm?" He heard something loud and was coming from nearby. He and the others turns to the sound and saw something moving in the clouds. His eyes widened when he saw what it was.

"It's the Death Egg!" Tails exclaimed. Seeing it rise up from the clouds was not a good sign, even more so when they saw red dots flying out of it and heading towards them. "We have to hurry before it gets further to the edge of space, otherwise we won't make it!"

"Hang on!" Knuckles ran ahead and jumped across a large gap. He steps on a switch, which made a bridge appear.

Naruto and Tails crossed the bridge and ran past the exhausted Knuckles, which made them stop and turn to him.

"What are you doing? Come on Knuckles!" Naruto said.

"Don't worry about me! Just hurry up and stop Eggman!" Knuckles told them. "Now go before it's too late!"

Naruto stared at Knuckles for a moment before he nodded his head and ran forward, with Tails following, though he looked back at Knuckles.

"Do you think he's alright?" Tails asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. He can take care of himself." Naruto said, a smirk very similar to Sonic's appearing on his face. "He is Knuckles after all."

Tails wasn't sure if it was the sun or not, but he could've sworn he saw a blue hedgehog overlapping Naruto. The blue hedgehog looked back at him and gave him a thumbs up and wink.

"Now let's take care of Eggman once and for all." Naruto and the blue hedgehog said at the same time. That made the fox boy blink his eyes and shake his head, seeing the hedgehog was gone and only Naruto remained. "R-Right!"

Weird. Very weird indeed.

And so, the duo traveled far into the Sanctuary. As they did they encountered large bounceable clouds, which made Tails laugh a little when he saw Naruto was startled by them. They ran into a new type of Badniks called Eggrobos, as they saw one chasing some Animals before they destroyed it.

They seem to be the only type of Badnik in the Sanctuary, which honestly made sense because they came from the Death Egg.

It was actually difficult as the duo had to jump from platform to platform while at the same making sure not to fall off the ruins. It also didn't help with that some of the ruins were also getting destroyed in the process. They climb further and further to the Zone as they destroyed many Eggrobos that got in their way.

They continued on before seeing the Death Egg in all its glory.

"Look! It's the Death Egg! We're almost there!" Tails said happily. He looks ahead and his smile grew. "And another one of those teleportation orbs!"

"Sweet! Time to end this Eggman!" Naruto grins as he and Tails went to the orb only to skid to a stop as they saw ball coming in and destory the orb. "What the hell!?"

Naruto looks up at the ball wore deadpan expression as he stared at a...checkered ball. "You gotta be kidding me." He looks up and saw Egg Mobile H floating there, he couldn't see who it was because of the sun's light reflecting off of the glass. "Seriously Nega? Didn't you use this thing in our first battle back on South Island?"

Egg Mobile H suddenly swing it's ball at them, but together using a spin attack, they knocked the Egg Mobile H back and destroyed the chain that held the ball making it fall off of the Sanctuary.

"That all you got?" Naruto asked as he and Tails took a fighting stance. Instead of answering, seven ball pods came out and circling around the Egg Mobile.

"Those things again?" Tails asked.

"Looks like Egghead forgot what happened last time he fought using those things." Naruto said as he and Tails grins at each other. "Let's help remind him."

They charged at the Flying Eggman as it charged to them as well. Tails destroyed the seven ball pods, while Naruto did a mid air spin dash, sending it crashing to the ground, making it explode.

"Eggman!" Naruto called out in shock. He honestly expected Eggman to get out of there before it was...too...late? "What?" He asked in confusion as something metallic step out of the destroyed Egg Mobile.

The heroes' eyes widen in shock at what stood before them. "...Metal Naruto?" Naruto asked with his brows furrowed.

Now getting a closer look, this robot wasn't Metal Naruto. In fact, it looked like a fusion between Robo Naruto and Metal Naruto, being closer to the former in size but more like the latter in terms of appearance, such as longer legs and arms, along with the spiky quills of his hair."

"Nope. That is so not Metal." Naruto said.

Tails backed up slightly, looking little fearful at this robotic Naruto. "This guy look a little tough, don'tcha think Naruto?"

Naruto scoffed. "Heh! Are you kidding? He doesn't look all that…" He and Tails quickly jumped out of the way as the new robot Naruto did a spin dash at them and took a stance. "Tough…"

The robot Naruto then dashed backwards towards them, making the heroes move out of the way again. Naruto took this chance and used the Homing Attack, knocking the new Metal Naruto back slightly but it hardly did anything.

"Sheesh! This guy looks like Robo Naruto but with Metal's abilities. I wonder what I should call this one?" Naruto looked thoughtful but then rolled out of the way when the new look alike turned into a Spin Ball and bounced all over the place.

"Is now really the best time to be asking that?!" Tails asked frantically as he flew away from the spinning buzzsaw of death.

"Of course! Since this guy is different from the other two robot me, we have to call him something to differentiate between them." Naruto said before he jumps to avoid the spin dash of death from his evil counterpart. "I got it! Let's call him Mecha Naruto!"

"Great! Now do something about Mecha Naruto!" Tails exclaimed. He turns to the Death Egg, seeing it continue to fly up. "The Death Egg is starting to get away!"

"Right!" Naruto dodged Mecha Naruto while crossing his fingers. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Multiple Naruto clones surrounded Mecha Naruto. The clones charged at the Badnik as it remained where it was. Once they got close enough, Mecha Naruto did a spin attack as it bounced and spun around the clones, destroying them in the process.

Just as it got out of its spin attack, while in mid-air, Mecha Naruto got hit by multiple pillars that sent it flying off the island, taking the pillars with it. Tails looked surprise before he saw Naruto fly down and landed next to him. He also looked disappointed.

"Man...that was way past too easy." Naruto sighed in a slight disappointment before he shrugs. "Ah well. Come on Tails!"

"Ok!"

Naruto and Tails ran to the tallest tower that was close to the Death Egg. They ran up the corkscrew ramp before noticing that the ramp was crumbling beneath them', making Tails fly next to Naruto instead of being behind him. Once they made it to the top, they leap off the tower and went on board the Death Egg.

"Yes! We made it!" Tails cheered.

"We getting close to the edge of space. Let's hurry up inside." Naruto told Tails as they both nodded and went to find a way inside the Death Egg. "Why do I get the strangest feeling that we're gonna get lost in there?"

Land of Fire

With Blaze and Co.

Right now, Blaze and her companions were walking down the road, with Tsunade taking the lead of course. It's been an hour or two since they left town. As they traveled together, Shizune began to hold a conversation with Blaze, wanting to know more about her while Blaze herself only answered in short sentences.

The Princess of the Sol Kingdom had to admit, these two women were nice traveling companions despite the two's constant arguing about Tsunade's gambling problem and her increase in debt. She found herself having a nice chat with Shizune with Tsunade throwing her two cents in during the conversation.

But there were times when Blaze would twitch in annoyance as she watched Tsunade's breasts keep bouncing every time she either walks or cross her arms underneath them. Whenever that happens, she would always put her hands to where her chest was. Like honestly!

"What on earth did she eat to get a chest that big?!" Blaze asked herself in anger and jealousy.

Shizune herself was quite curious about Blaze. It's not everyday that a foreigner would come to the Shinobi Nations. It also made her all the more curious to know where she came from and what's it like. So she asked her some stuff and was surprised to learn that her home is in fact another continent much like the Shinobi Nations and that continent has a kingdom ruled by a royal family.

But what made this continent special was that it had no shinobi. At all!

This world is suppose to be filled with shinobi. After all, there are islands around the Shinobi Nations that have their own shinobi as well. To hear that there is a continent out there that doesn't have shinobi made Shizune want to go there someday and learn more about it.

Plus, from what Blaze told her, there are also smaller islands around the continent that weren't even on their map!

Tsunade herself had been listening on the conversation the two were having about Blaze's home. She won't lie, she's now curious as well. To learn that there's a continent without shinobi makes her want to go out and find it. She wonders if the place has any decent gambling places. She also wanted to know what their currency is...after all this is an unknown continent so of course they should have their own currency right?

Not only that, there's also something...different about Blaze. It's not just because she's a foreigner, it's just she feels different from ordinary people. People who have and use chakra.

"Hey! We're here!" Shizune's voice called out interrupting Tsunade from her thoughts.

They were now standing in a cross road split into two paths. They looked back and forth between the left path and the right path.

"Well...it looks like this is it." Shizune said, a little sadly. "The way to the Leaf Village is to the left. Though it might take a couple more days for you to get there."

"Oink…" Tonton said sadly.

"Where will you three be going?" Blaze asked curiously.

"To wherever the wind takes us of course!" Tsunade said happily.

"Of course…" Blaze sighed and shook her head, not knowing she wore a small smile on her face. "Well, it's been pleasure to meet you, Tsunade, Shizune and Tonton. May you have a safe travel." That made the two women and pig smile at Blaze and nod their heads.

"Same to you kid." Tsunade said, placing a hand on her hip as comical teasing look appeared on her face. "Good luck in finding your boyfriend~"

"We'll be rooting for you!" Shizune giggled at the massive blush on Blaze's face.

"Oink! Oink!" Tonton added in happily.

"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" Blaze yelled in embarrassment as she stomps her foot down and turned away, arms crossed and a cute pout on her face. "Goodbye!"

Fire erupted from Blaze's feet, shocking Shizune and Tonton while Tsunade looked surprised and interested. They watched as Blaze took off very fast, leaving behind a trail of fire.

Shizune and Tonton's jaw dropped at the display of power and speed as they stared at the trailer of fire. "W-W-W-What just happened?!"

"Oink! Oink!"

Tsunade placed a hand under her chin as she looked towards the trail of fire. It looks like their new friend is more than just a foreigner. She has a power based on fire. "Blaze, huh?" She smirks in amusement. So that's why her parents gave her that unique name. "I have a funny feeling we'll be seeing that kid again real soon."

"Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked.

"It's nothing." Tsunade said as she walks forward to their path. She also wants to meet the person who won Blaze's heart and wondered what the guy was doing right now.

Meanwhile

The Death Egg

Music: Death Egg Zone (Act 2) [Sonic & Knuckles]

"Achoo!" Naruto sneezed.

"Bless you." Tails chirps.

"Thanks." Naruto said as he looks up thoughtfully. "I wonder who was talking about me?"

Naruto and Tails were now running across a platform as with the Earth seen in the background. Earlier they were traveling inside the Death Egg, going past the dangerous obstacles and traps that were in their way. And by dangerous I mean they had to go through rocket launchers, antigravity chambers, electrical hazards, ring shooters, and some very mean Badniks.

After defeating the sub-boss Red Eye, the duo were now running outside the Death Egg, where they could see their planet.

"Get ready Tails! We're getting close to Dr. Nega!" Naruto told him.

"You got it!" Tails exclaimed.

Naruto and Tails had determined expressions on their faces as they ran faster and faster, going past the Badniks that charged at them, destroying them in the process and releasing the Animals.

They saw a high speed elevator in front of them. They entered the elevator and found themselves moving at top speed. They got out of the elevator and walk out only to see a Badnik floating above them, which made them scream in surprise.

It looked like a miniaturized Death Egg only it was the shape of a floating ball that has eyes and a bumper around them.

"Hahaha!" Dr. Nega's voice laughed out loud, making the duo look back to see him behind the elevator. "Welcome to the new and improved Death Egg boys! I've been waiting for you both to show up, especially since I knew my Mecha Naruto wouldn't be able to stop you! Even though I had hoped he did." He deadpans at the end.

"Huh. So his name was really Mecha Naruto." Naruto and Tails thought as they glanced at each other.

"Ah well! Like they always say, "If you want something done right, you do it yourself."! Have fun with my Death Ball!" Dr. Nega said.

The duo looks up to the Death Ball as they heard something drop. They saw a small buggy-like object that has three spikes attached to it and was heading towards them. They watched as the buggy moved towards them while the Death Ball was above them moving side to side while it had its bumper aimed at them to protect them.

Naruto had a look of boredom on his face as though he wasn't at all worried about the Badnik while Tails looked a little nervous. "...May I finish this quickly?" He asked Tails as he crossed his arms while also tapping his foot.

"Be my guest." Tails bowed.

Naruto gains a feral grin. "Chaos Control!"

As Naruto teleports away, Tails crossed his arms and smirks as the Death Ball had multiple dents and scorch marks appear before it crashed on the floor. Naruto teleports back next to Tails and clapped his hands as the Death Ball exploded.

The explosion resulted in the elevator that they came out of to explode, revealing Dr. Nega, who had a dumbfounded expression on his face. He sweated when Tails glared at him while Naruto had a cheeky grin on his face as he wagged his finger back and forth at him.

"Um...RUN AWAY!" Dr. Nega gave up as he ran off.

"No you don't!"

Naruto and Tails quickly chased after him. Eventually, as they went further outside, getting closer to the escaping scientist, Dr. Nega quickly jumped into a hatchway that closed behind him, making the duo stop.

"What the?" They heard something collapsing behind them and looks back to the ground was grumbling away. They quickly ran to the more stable ground on the right.

"Dude what was that?" Tails asked. "That big...thing?"

"Looks like the final boss!" Naruto exclaimed.

They heard something coming from behind them, making them go stiff, as they turns around to see whatever it was behind them and what they saw made their eyes go wide in shock and disbelief.

Battle Music: Final Boss [Sonic the Hedgehog 3]

There before them is a massive battle mech. The mech resembles the Death Egg Robot, only this robot is much bigger and it has a closer resemblance to the Eggrobo back in the Sanctuary.

"That's...a pretty big robot." Naruto sweated a little bit while Tails hid behind his leg.

"That's right!" Dr. Nega laughed in excitement. "Say hello and goodbye to the Great Eggman Robo!"

Two groups of three massive fingers came out of hiding and were locked on them as they went to where the duo were. Naruto's eyes widened as he grabs Tails and moved out of the fingers way as they crashed down at them. The fingers moved and went to where they were.

"It looks like we'll have to take out those fingers." Tails said.

"Right! You take one group, I'll take the other!" Naruto nodded as he runs forward, getting the left "hand's" attention. "Let's do it to it!"

"You got it!" Tails looked at the right "hand" and saw it was getting ready to hit him. He did a spin charge just as the "hand' slammed into him, only for the middle finger to be destroyed.

Once he was in the middle between both fingers, he did a Spin Dash that ricochet him between the fingers, destroying them both. He turns to Naruto and saw he had ripped the three fingers off the "hand".

"Is that all you got?!" Naruto threw one of the fingers at the Great Eggman Robo's face, making it bounce off of it.

"I'm just getting started!" Dr. Nega exclaimed.

The Great Eggman Robo drops below the platform but then reappeared on the left side of the platform. The mech slowly walks towards them, making the duo run back to avoid getting hit by the flames that shot out from the nose.

"We'll have to find it's weakness!" Tails exclaimed. "What do we do Naruto?"

Naruto looks at the battle mech before he narrowed his eyes at the nose. "The nose! We have to attack the nose!" He runs back to the mech and does a Homing Attack on it. By doing so however, the chest opened up to reveal the Master Emerald in all its glory.

"The Master Emerald!" The duo said at the same time. From the looks of it, the Master Emerald seems to be inside a laser weapon as it seems to be charging. "Uh oh!"

Naruto and Tails jumps up comically as the laser fired, grazing Tails' twintails slightly and burning off Naruto's pants a little bit. Once the laser died down, the duo fell back and continued on just as the chest closed.

"So that's it." Tails said, blowing on his tails slightly as he shook them. "Dr. Eggman must be using the Master Emerald to power that thing."

"Then I guess we better get it out of there." Naruto grins as he and Tails avoided the flamethrower. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Five clones popped out of existence as they grinned at the Great Eggman Robo. "Alright guys! Get ready to attack together!" The real Naruto ordered.

"Right!" The clones and Tails said at the same time as they each did a spin charge.

Naruto grins at them before turning back to the still charging mech as he took out two gold rings. He does a homing attack on the nose again, opening the chest. "Now!"

The clones and Tails did the spin dash together on the exposed chest, landing a devastating attack on the mech as the laser stops charging. Once the clones vanished, Tails flew back as he noticed the glowing golden lights in Naruto's hands.

"Do it Naruto!" The Fox Boy said happily.

"You got it! Super Chaos Spear!" Naruto continued to grin as he unleashed a more larger and powerful green colored version of his Chaos Spear. The attacked landed a direct hit at the weapon which resulted in the mech to explode. "Yeah! Bye bye Lame O Robo!"

Naruto and Tails watched as the Great Eggman Robo drops down into deep space, it's explosion still being heard. Not to their surprise, the duo saw the escaped Dr. Nega, in his Egg Mobile which held the Master Emerald on the end of its grabbing device.

"No way! I can't believe this!" Dr. Nega exclaimed in shock.

"Believe it, Doc! Now hand over that Emerald." Naruto demanded.

"I don't think so!" Dr. Nega flies off to the ahead of them, just as the platform began to crumble again.

"Whoa!" The heroes quickly ran after Dr. Nega. Once they got close enough, Naruto did the Shadow Clone Jutsu and three clones appeared. Naruto, Tails and the clones each did a homing attack at Dr. Nega.

"You're finished Nega!" Naruto exclaimed. He jumps in the air and does one last homing attack. The result were expected as the Egg Mobile exploded, making it drop the Master Emerald, while the platform stopped crumbling.

"NOOOO!" Dr. Nega cried out as he flew away.

Music Ends

"Yeah! We did it!" Naruto and Tails did a mini victory dance and finished it with back-to-back pose.

Before they could celebrate further, the whole Death Egg went up in a massive explosion, which made them jump in surprise as they looked at the massive space station.

"Oh no!" Tails cried out. "The Great Eggman Robo crashed into the Death Egg's power source and now it's starting to explode!"

"Damn!" Naruto grit his teeth as the explosions kept getting stronger and stronger. He turns to one of his clones...well the only clone that didn't dispel itself. "Get Tails and send him back to the planet! I'm gonna get the Master Emerald!"

"No problem!" Clone Naruto nodded as he grabbed Tails.

"Huh?!" The Tech Wizard asked in surprise. He turns to the real Naruto with widened eyes. "Naruto! No!" He reached his hand to his best friend, who gave him a thumbs up and wink, but then vanished.

"See you later bud!" Naruto told him. He turns to the Master Emerald and picks it up. "As for-WHAT?!" He screamed in comical shock as the explosion rocked the platform. He turns to the Death Egg and his eyes widen as he saw a shockwave heading his way. "Oh...shit..."

Naruto quickly leaps off the platform to try and fly away. Sadly, he still got blown away by the shockwave, which separated him from the Master Emerald. "Waaaaah!" He spun around comically before he used his ESP to stop, only for him to be upside down. He returned to his normal position.

"Well that's just great." The Ultimate Ninja deadpans. Meh, at least he made it away from the Death Egg.

Speaking of...he turns to the now destroyed space station and saw the destroyed pieces of it, floating around it. He smirks at his accomplishment, rubbing his fist across his nose.

"Let's see you make another one of those now Egghead." Naruto said before he face palms. "Aw man! The Master Emerald!" He looks around for it and saw it right ahead of him. He smiles. "There you are." He flies to the Emerald before he heard something behind him. He looks back in confusion before he quickly moved out of the way as something blue went past him and headed towards the Master Emerald in breakneck speed. He already knew who it was.

"Of course, he would be back." Naruto deadpans. He watched as the blue ship went through an asteroid field. A challenging grin appear on his face. "So that's your game huh? Okay. Let's play." He closed his eyes.

Meanwhile

Angel Island: Hidden Palace

A recovering Knuckles sighs as he looked at the empty spot of the Master Emerald. He looks up in the sky, a somewhat worried look on his face.

A couple of minutes passed when he heard the Death Egg's loud explosion and saw it up in space. He'll never say it out loud, but he really hoped those guys were doing okay up there and made it out safely. He also hoped Dr. Nega died inside the Death Egg, if not then he's going to enjoy pounding his face in of he sees him.

Knuckles sighs once again before his shot open. "I feel some strange energy." He turns around and saw a flash of green light, making him cover his eyes. He uncovers them and saw Naruto and Tails. "Huh? You made it out!" He noticed the Master Emerald wasn't there. "Where's the Master Emerald?"

"It's still in space! Naruto went to go get it!" Tails answered as he looks up in the sky with a worried expression, not paying attention to the confused expression on Knuckles' face.

"...what?" The guardian turns to Naruto in confusion.

"I'm a clone dude." The clone replied. He was to dispel himself but stopped himself as he and the others saw something glowing. They turned towards the source of the glowing and saw it was the Super Emeralds as they continued to glow brighter and brighter.

"Hey! What's going on with the Super Emeralds?" Tails asked in confusion and slight surprise. He turns to Knuckles and saw the serious look on his face, along with Clone Naruto.

"It's happening." Knuckles said.

"What's happening?" Tails asked.

"Tails, do you remember when we first collected the Chaos Emeralds and I told you what happened onboard the Death Egg?" Clone Naruto asked instead of answering.

"Yeah. You told me that you transformed into Super Naruto and beat the Death Egg Robot." Tails replied, scratching his cheek. "But what does that have to do with what's happening now?"

"Think about it for a second." Knuckles replied this time, getting both Tails and the Clone's attention. "If seven Chaos Emeralds can cause a super transformation, what do you think happens if someone use seven of the Super Emeralds?"

Tails blink but then widened his eyes in surprise before he smiles in excitement. "You mean...Naruto, the real Naruto, is going to transform into his super form?!"

"Transform? Yup. Super? Not so much." Clone Naruto answered, smiling happily.

"Huh?" Tails tilt his head.

"Remember, the Super Emeralds are enhanced forms of the Chaos Emeralds." Knuckles reminded him. "With them, you can achieve a transformation that's way powerful than a regular super form."

"A form that's powerful than Super Naruto?" Tails gasped in awe as his pupils turned into stars. He had no idea that there would be a form that's stronger and more powerful than Super Naruto if someone were to use the Super Emeralds. That's so awesome!

"Yup! So the Boss won't be going Super!" Clone Naruto said as he closed his eyes and got ready to dispel. "No...he's going…"

Naruto grins as he felt the clone he left Tails with dispel itself which made him snap his eyes open, revealing them to purple. "HYPER!" He gave out a battle yell as a white aura erupted from him, forming into a pillar, which also seems to be flashing in a rainbow like multi-color.

The pillar that covered Naruto then vanished, revealing his new form: Hyper Naruto!

His form is quite similar to Super Naruto, but with notable obvious differences. One of which has his hair turned into a silverish blue, almost platinum color, with some added quills to his hair. Once again, the red stripes were gone and the three small tufts were there, just not in the same color as they were back when he was Super. His eyes had gotten sharper and more narrowed, to show that things were getting serious now. He also had a rainbow like aura around his whole body.

Hyper Naruto looks at his hands, seeing the markings were now multi-colored, and clenched it into a fist. An awe look come on his face. Awesome! Is this really the power of the hyper form!? He feels...ULTRA stronger than before when he was Super Naruto.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome! There's no other words to describe other than just awesome! Everything about this was awesome! Is this what Sonic felt like when he first transformed into his Hyper form? How...awesome!

He looks ahead and could see the blue ship despite how far away it was. He can also sense the Master Emerald inside it. A grin appears on his face.

"Time to party Eggman."

Battle Music: The Doomsday Zone [Sonic & Knuckles]

Hyper Naruto instantly took of flying towards the blue ship in super...no...in hypersonic speed! As he went through the asteroid field, he avoided every single asteroid that were in his way or he would just destroy them using his fist.

He saw he was getting close to the ship, only for it to fire missiles at him. Hyper Naruto wasn't even worried as he held his hand out used his newly advanced ESP to create a large white shield of energy. He caught the missiles and the asteroids that were in his radius. He then launched them at them at the ship, only to see that they didn't do much damage.

"That thing's heavily armored." Hyper Naruto observed as he got closer to the ship. "But everything has a weakness, including this thing."

While doing so, the ship fired homing missiles at him. He knocked one away, making it hit an asteroid before he flew away from the other two. He looks back at the missiles before charging at the ship, landing on it. He saw the face of the ship turn to him, which made Hyper Naruto grin as he pulled a middle finger out at it. He flies off the ship when he felt the two missiles get close, just as they explode on it.

Hyper Naruto flew in front of the ship, flying backwards with his arms crossed and a smirk present on his face. "And I think I found it."

The ship fired more homing missiles at him, prompting Hyper Naruto to turn and fly normally. He flies around the asteroid field as the missiles chased him around. He used the asteroids as a way to destroy two of them, leaving only four missiles at him. He turns back to the missiles and turns to face the ship, flying directly at it with a grin present on his face.

"Let's see you handle this." Hyper Naruto said, looking back at the missiles one last time. Good. They were getting closer to him. He looks back at the ship and wagged his finger before teleporting away.

The four missiles landed a direct hit on the face, making multiple explosions be heard. The damage done to the ship, caused it to fall down as it caught fire. The ship stayed for a moment before it exploded, which resulted in a purple shockwave erupting from it.

Music End

Hyper Naruto looks to where the ship erupted from before he began to look around for the Master Emerald. He closed his eyes and concentrated on sensing the Emerald, only to find it behind him. "Aha!" He turns and saw the Master Emerald floating in space. He flies to the Emerald and floated in front of it. "Okay, time to take you back to Knuckles."

"I don't think so!"

Before he could grab it, a giant robot with a jetpack suddenly appeared from below him, surprising Hyper Naruto slightly. It looked exactly like the Death Egg Robot in design but with a more streamlined appearance and features similar to the EggRobo.

The robot smacked the still surprised Hyper Naruto away, making him land flatly on an asteroid. Hyper Naruto just had a flat expression on his face as he got off the asteroid and glared at the giant robot as it grabbed the Master Emerald.

"I'm not finished yet Naruto!" Dr. Nega declared as the robot turns to him. "All I gotta do is keep you away as you run out of energy! Farewell!" The robot turns around and flies off.

Hyper Naruto took a deep breath and released it into a big sigh. Okay, this is starting to get stupid. But the man doesn't give up, so he can at least respect that about him. Just a teeny tiny bit.

Looking up at the escaping robot, Hyper Naruto saw he left some bombs that were heading his way. He shook his head and grins as he did a spin charge. While he did so, small flashing multicolored balls were gathering up and entering his being, to show he was charging up for a special attack. Once he finished gathering up the energy he needed, he stops spin charging, showing he was surrounded by small balls.

"Ready...GO!"

Music: Invincibility [Sonic & Knuckles]

In a flash of white light, Hyper Naruto charged head on the retreating robot, not paying attention to the incredible damage he caused to the asteroid field as multiple asteroids got destroyed by a shockwave that he caused.

He flashed past the homing bombs as they got destroyed which resulted in an explosion that Dr. Nega's attention. He looks behind him and the robot's eyes widened comically as he saw a multicolored torpedo speeding towards him, while also destroying the asteroids that were in its way.

"No! No! Please no!" Dr. Nega pleaded to himself as he tried to fly faster. "I should've won this time! ME! Not that annoying ninja brat!"

Sadly for Dr. Nega, he felt his robot shake before it stopped flying. He looks and saw Hyper Naruto floating in front of him, while holding the Master Emerald in his hand. He was also smirking at him.

"Game over Doc." Hyper Naruto said as he looked down at the giant hole that he went through at the robot. He watched as the robot began fall down.

"IMPOSSIBLE! NOOOOOOOO!" Dr. Nega screamed as the robot began to erupt in small explosions before it blew up entirely.

Music: Sky Sanctuary Zone [Sonic & Knuckles]

Hyper Naruto watched on in satisfaction as the robot exploded. He looks up at the Master Emerald before he cheered in excitement.

"Alright! That was AWESOME!" He said happily as he flies down to the planet in hyper speed.

Once he made it to see the clear blue sky, he slow down his flight and was smoothly flying through the air, a giddy grin on his face.

"This. Was. The greatest. Adventure. EVER!" Hyper Naruto shouted happily. "Oh man, now I can't wait to tell the others about this! They are seriously gonna flip!"

"NARUTO! OVER HERE!"

Hyper Naruto smile grew wider as he looks down and saw a happy Tails, still in his human form, flying the Tornado, looking up at him and waving his hand. "Tails!" He flies down to the wing of the Tornado, landing on it while at the same time reverting back to his regular form.

"You did it Naruto! You won!" Tails said happily. "That was so cool on what you did!"

"Of course little buddy!" Naruto grins cockily. "As if old Egghead would be able to beat me!" He tossed the Master Emerald to the back of the Tornado, which was caught by a handle. "Now let's head back to Angel Island. We got a delivery to make!"

"Roger!" Tails said happily.

Seeing said island up ahead, the Tornado headed towards Angel Island full speed. Once they got close enough, Tails piloted the plane down, just above the jungle trees. Naruto meanwhile looked around for any sign of Knuckles and caught the sight of red spiky dreadlocks waiting in a clearing. He used his ESP to get the Master Emerald from the handle.

"HEY! KNUCKLES!" Naruto called out which made the guardian jump in surprise. He looks up and his eyes widen. "Here's your present!" He gave the Master Emerald to Knuckles, which he caught by his hands.

Knuckles examined the Master Emerald and sighed in relief, seeing that it wasn't damaged or anything. He sat the emerald down as the whole island began to float, earning its namesake once again. "Thank goodness."

Special Ending: Sonic Boom (Ending Version)

*Instruments*

"Knuckles!" Knuckles looked up and saw Naruto and Tails waving at him. "Let's have a rematch later on! You and me, no holding back at all!"

"Haha! See you later Knuckles! Stay safe okay!" Tails added his two cents in.

"And next time, don't be a jackass!" Naruto added in also.

"Just get off my island, you stupid ninja!" Knuckles yelled comically as he raised a fist at Naruto, not knowing he was waving it. He watched as they flew off, but they still kept waving at him. He snorts at them before he closed his eyes and crossed his arms, a smirk present on his face. "Heh. That guy's one palooka that keeps you running. Still…"

A soft smile appeared on his face. "I have this funny feeling that I haven't seen the last of them." He continued to watch them leave but for a brief moment, he saw a blue hedgehog appear in Naruto's place.

"Huh?" Knuckles blinks in confusion before shaking his head, seeing the blue hedgehog was gone. He placed a hand on his heart and felt it was beating faster than normal. "What the heck?"

What was that? That blue hedgehog...why did it feel...familiar to him for some reason? And why did it feel like he met it before, along with Tails?

If you're strong, you can fly.

You can reach the other side

Of the rainbow

"Hey Naruto." Tails called out, getting his attention. "What was it like? Becoming Hyper Naruto?"

Naruto blinks and looks up thoughtfully. He then grins happily as he put his arms behind his head. "It was awesome! I was definitely way stronger than Super Naruto, I'll tell you that."

"Aw man. I wish I could've joined you." Tails pouted as his fox ears leaned down. "I would've enjoyed being Super and Hyper Tails."

It's all right, take a chance
Cause there is no circumstance
That you can't handle
When you use your mind

"Aw, don't worry bud. I'm sure you'll be able to turn Super in the future." Naruto said. He saw some Flickies in the sky singing happy song, making him wave at them as they waved back. "But Hyper? We'll have to wait a couple more years for that."

Tails still pouted. "O~Kay…" He said before he smiles happily at Naruto. "But man, we had a blast of an adventure didn't we?"

"Yeah. We sure did." Naruto said as he thought back on his first adventure on the South Island.

Memories of his meeting with Dr. Eggman Nega and collecting the six emeralds on the island while saving the Animals flashed through his mind. The next memories are him heading towards West Side Island, meeting Tails and forming a brotherly bond with him, collecting the seven emeralds together and fighting the Death Egg Robot as Super Naruto.

Mr. Bad's
Got it good
But this ain't his neighborhood
He's taking over, no, no

Naruto smiles as he remembers his adventure on Little Planet and meeting Amy along with his new rival Metal Naruto. Now, he has made some new memories of his journey across the Angel Island and meeting Knuckles.

It's amazing. To think that him going on all these adventures to these mysterious and unknown places from Sonic's World, he has made a whole lot of new friends, made some enemies, with Eggman being his arch-nemesis, along with the boy in the mask, and even gained new powers. While he was sad he couldn't find Blaze anywhere, he was still happy as he made new memories of his journeys.

With Eggman Nega finally defeated, he can now head on back home. After all, everyone is waiting for him.

Time is now
He can't hide
Find the power deep inside
And make it happen

"So what now Naruto?" Tails asked curiously, before looking down to see dolphins jumping out of the water.

"We're going home now Tails." Naruto grins.

Tails looked surprise before he smiled in excitement. "You mean…!?''

"Yup! Get ready kid!" Naruto said as he turns to Tails, giving him a thumbs up. "Because we're going to the Hidden Leaf Village!"

Naruto is seen running across the Green Hill as he destroyed every Badnik that was in his way while also collecting any Rings he see. He now appears in the Labyrinth Zone as he jumps from platform and platform but fell into the water comically.

Naruto is now on the beach of West Side Island. Tails appears as he waved at him but then kept sneezing as he turns into his fox form, making Naruto laugh. The Ultimate Ninja is in the Death Egg as he transforms into Super Naruto, charging at the Death Egg Robot.

Now on Little Planet, Metal Naruto has captured Amy, with her crying out to Naruto, as they flew away. Naruto ran after him as he sped through time and space on the various Zones.

Naruto and Knuckles are fighting each other in the Hidden Palace, with Tails looking on comically while facepalming. Naruto is out in space as he transforms into Hyper Naruto, glaring out at the readers as he took a stance.

*Instruments*

The seven Chaos Emeralds appear circling around in space. The Time Stones appear next as they circled above the Chaos Emeralds. The Master Emerald appears next as the Chaos Emeralds gathered around it. In a flash of light, they transformed into the Super Emeralds.

Make your move

That's what life is all about
It's your adventure

Naruto is fighting against the Masked Boy as he tried to punch and kick him, only for them to get blocked or avoided. The Masked Boy then kicked Naruto in the stomach, making him slide back as he put his hand on it. Naruto glares at the Masked Boy before he charged at him with a battle cry, the Masked Boy doing the same.

Through the dark
To the light
It's a supersonic flight
Gotta keep it goin'

Various Animals are seen playing in a field of flowers as they cheered happily. The Flickies looked down at the field and danced in the air. The field of flowers resembled Naruto's grinning face.

Blaze is seen walking along a path. She narrowed her eyes as she saw yet another town, which seems to raided by Bandits, judging from the rising smoke. She immediately dashed off to the small town, her fists erupting in flames, getting ready for the battle ahead.

Amy is seen driving her red car down a huge road, only for it to break down. She yells out angrily at this as she got out of it. She then summons a giant yellow hammer and slams it down on the hood. Doing this caused her car to start back as she cheers and got back in it. She drove again, heading towards her destination...to where Naruto is.

Knuckles is lying down on top of the Master Emerald, a relaxed smile present on his face. He opens his eyes and looks up at the clouds before closing them once again.

Naruto and Tails are still flying across the sea. They looked at each other with smiles on their faces. Tails saw something as he pointed at it, making Naruto turn back. He could see a continent straight ahead which made smile happily.

He was almost home. They were almost home.

Hidden Leaf Village

On Hokage Mountain, the Masked Boy is seen on top of the Fourth's head, looking down at the village.

"Is there a reason why you're here?" He spoke to a figure in a red coat that appeared behind him.

"Hey now. Is that any way to talk to your elders?" The figure spoke in a man's voice.

"You? My elder? Please." The Masked Boy said as he turned to the red coat figure. "Now what is it?"

"Just thought I dropped by to tell you that we found a new recruit." The man said.

"Oh yeah? Which one is this?" The Masked Boy asked. The man walked up to him and whispered in his masked covered ear. He stepped away as the Masked Boy looked down. "...I see."

"Y'know, I'm planning to go to the other side of that place to see what his other is like." The man said as a portal appeared behind him. "Wanna come with?"

The Masked Boy looked at the man before looking up at the sky to see the Tornado flying towards the village. "Whatever…" He turns and enters the portal with the man following after him.

Author's Note: Phew! This has been the longest, action packed, chapter ever! But at least I got it finished! The next chapter is going to be short compared to the others as it's a continuation of this chapter. Hope you guys enjoyed the little sneak peak of the scene at the end.
