Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter.
Chapter 25
AT THE NEW REPUBLIC UNDERGROUND HQ; ONE WEEK LATER
Currently Grif was dies king to kent soldiers of the new republic, telling then his and his comrades stories of how they fought the Meta but...
"Boooom, huge explosion; you wouldn't believe it, he just shook it off tho like it was nothing and he comes right at us." When he said that he only got a "whooooo" from the soldiers.
"He cuts our rocket launcher in half so Tucker goes in for the stab but nothing's working, that's when I knew what too do." When he said that, he didn't notice Naruto approaching him from behind.
"I throw myself on top of him, taking him completely by surprise but he has a strength of the men-no ten bears. This guys-" he was cut off by Naruto slaking his foot right in Grif's back, knocking him off the stage.
"You kidding me, you guy did shit against him; the only thing you did do was hook a warthogs cable on his suit then push the vehicle over the edge of the cliff." When he said that, one soldier began speaking.
"That is the most metal thing I've ever heard..." When he said that, Naruto just gives him a "WTF" look regardless of both are wearing a helmet.
"Anyways didn't you get kicked in nuts like seven times?" After asking that, Tex appears next to him.
"More like twenty-two times." Tex said to him but he heard a girl ask him a question.
"Is it true Naruto, did he really growl like some sort of monster hearing that he raises an eyebrow.
"And did he really have the strength of ten bears?" After asking him that, he just shakes his head and answers.
"He got shot in the throat on one of our missions and was not as strong as Tex." Naruto told them, which they began commenting on how hot it was... Thank god Tucker wasn't here.
Before anymore words could be said they heard the com turn on.
[Naruto, Grif, Caboose, and Simmons, report to my office immediately.]
"Well guys, looks like that's it for today so run along." Grif told the group gaining disappointing sounds.
"I like the bears." When he heard that he turns to left and stumbles a little at seeing Caboose standing next to him.
"How in gods name did you get to me so close?!" Naruto questioned Caboose who gave him an answer.
"Well I started walking and stopped next to you." Caboose answered causing him to sweat drop.
AT KIMBALL'S OFFICE
The entire group stood side by side, stealing with Kimball.
"If he's actually there then I suggest we take a small team and find Doyle." Naruto told Kimball who shakes her head.
"Doyle is currently located at a compound north of a nearby mountain range... We can't afford to send our best soldiers. To be honest when I heard about you guys I envisioned strong, daring, respectable soldiers..." She stopped there gaining a "buuuuuuut" from Grif.
"Well I was half right, while the rest of you... I found that you're something else entirely; turns out most of you are a bunch of-" she was cut off by the idiots.
"Cowards." Simmons said with Tucker continuing.
"Losers." Tucker said with Grif continuing.
"Idiots." Grif said and Caboose continues.
"Space men." Caboose said, giving an actually descent answer since they were space men.
"Misfits... You're odd balls that don't exactly fit in, which is why my men all look up to you and why moral has been at an all time high. Because they can't relate to you, because together we're an army of underdogs and outcasts, but as for right now I cannot authorize a mission of this scale unless you leave behind most of your well trained soldiers just in case of you were to be captured." Hearing that, Naruto just nods while answering.
"Freckles, Lopez, Lopez 2.0, and Donut; you guys stay here as help. I'll stay in contact with you guys as the missions continues and meets obstacles." Naruto told them as he began walking away.
BACK AT THE INTERROGATION ROOM
"Eheheheh, you're actually planning on leaving; what if I break out of here and warn then what you're trying to do?" Erik said to Naruto who had his helmet off as he sat on the chair.
"You won't be getting out of here since I'm keeping most of the smart ones here, besides you could always help out since by the looks of it you have lost a lot of-" he was cut off by Erik.
"Don't even go there mind reader; let me ask this, if Ultron was never involved you wouldn't even have got-" he was cut off by a serious Naruto.
"Yes I would..." Hearing that, Erik was now confused.
"Even if Ultron wasn't apart of this, even if it didn't have anything to do with us... I would still help since I'm bit the person I was back then." When he said that, his eyes immediately widen at hearing a voice.
(The Fourth Test, has now begun.)
Before Naruto's eyes, he appeared in a room which he remembers the room when he was himself as a child playing with Ultron.
(This test involves by only Truth yet it is consumed by Lies, what are the lies you told yourself?)
Hearing that, he looks at the ground.
"I don't exactly know how to answer this one." Naruto said while looking down at the floor.
(It is that fact why you never understood. You didn't have to do everything by yourself, you saw that you could have done everything by yourself.)
Hearing that, he looks down but then up again seeing his old team.
"I cannot lie... I just didn't want my friends to get involved with my old goal, yet by doing so I ended up hurting them more and in turn doing what I never wanted to happen in the first place. What actually mattered most to me wasn't my goals but the fact that I wouldn't loose anyone anymore once I've created peace." After he said that, he looks up seeing his he acted when he was a child and gave a small smile at seeing this.
(Very good, you have passed the fourth test but be prepared the last three will be the most difficult; especially the last one.)
Hearing that he blinked to find himself back in the room with a shocked Erik who was staring at the glowing cylinder in front of Naruto who grabs it with his left hand.
"WTF JUST HAPPENED?!" Erik yelled, not understanding what the hell just happened since Naruto kinda tuned everything out as well as the cylinder appearing in front of him.
"I have to go now, thanks for the chat." With that said, Erik was even more confused at the fact he just brushed off what just happened.
