Chapter 3
(At the Rising Tide, lunch time the next day)
Naruto and Will were serving a few people some food and drinks, with some help from Nebula (who was using a holo watch provided by Tony) while some kids were petting Cosmo, who was eagerly wagging his tail at the affection he was getting.
"Ok kids, your ice cream is ready" Will said with a smile, as she brought out some sundies.
"Thanks Miss Guardian" the kids said together, while giving her wide grins.
Will smiled, and gave them their ice cream as they heard the doorbell go off.
"Welcome, how may I - oh damn it" Naruto said, seeing it was some Italian guys in suits.
"Great. Now that Cottonmouth is locked up, we have the mob bugging us" Will said sounding bored, as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Look, before you idiots start you do realize who we are right?" Nebula said, with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, we are well aware. We are also capable of suing if you try anything, space bitch" one of the goons said, with a savage grin as he cracked his knuckles.
Naruto chuckled at this. "Well, at least your boss trained you to think a bit, before you start throwing punches" he said while leaning against the counter.
"Doesn't mean shit though. So you have two choices: you leave now or Nebula here shows you what a space bitch can do to idiots like you" Will said.
"And risk the kids getting hurt?" a goon said with a smirk.
Cosmo started to growl, as his hair stood up and he made a dozen knives from the kitchen float in front of him, aimed at the goons.
"Uh boss, you didn't mention a psychic dog" one of the goons said, with his eyes wide in fear.
Nebula grabbed one of them, and snapped his arm with a fluid move.
Cosmo barked loudly, and a wave of psychic power was sent at the other two goons, sending them out the window, shattering the glass and onto a police car that was just driving past outside.
"Well, that was sad" Will said flatly, as the cops got out of there car, and arrested the mob goons along with the one Nebula dragged outside and threw to them.
"That was so cool," one of the kids said with wide eyes.
"Thanks Mr Dog, for protecting us" said one of the kids, while patting Cosmo on the head who closed his eyes in joy, with his tail giving a small wag at the affection.
"You think I could do what you did in the future, when I get older?" a young girl asked Nebula, while looking up at her in awe.
She gave a small shrug, saying "I don't see why not." She then kneeled down, as she added "But if you do, make sure that you learn it for the right reasons and to help those that need help, ok?"
"Ok Miss," the kid said while nodding her head.
Nebula gave her a smile as she patted the girls shoulder, before she stood back up and walked off to clean the unoccupied tables.
Naruto walked over to her, and said "Good to see you adjusting to life on earth Nebula. And it was very nice of you to say what you did to that little girl."
Nebula just shrugged her shoulders, saying "Thanks, as it was a bit difficult at first getting used to this planet, but I think it's an okay place. And I just wanted her to use what she might learn in the future to be for the right reasons, instead of turning out how I started at first," as she finished with a frown.
Naruto placed a hand on her shoulder in comfort, as she'd explained to Naruto and Will about what her adoptive father Thanos had done to her and her sister Gamora, and this made the two of them very angry that such a man would do something to two young girls. They'd both vowed that if they ever saw Thanos, they were going to make him pay a thousand fold.
Nebula gave him a nod of thanks, before they and Will continued working until it was time to close up.
Once they'd closed up, and had something to eat themselves, they then went out on patrol to see what New York had to offer them that night.
"We should try and find those ninjas Tony heard about," Will said as she and Naruto flew, while Nebula jumped the rooftops with Cosmo flying thanks to his telekinesis.
"Where do you think we should start looking? Cause I don't think we're just gonna find them?" Naruto asked her.
"We could ask Murdock, see if he's heard anything," Nebula said with a shrug.
"Good idea. That guy screams ninja," Naruto said with a nod.
"*I will lead the way, I can feel where his mind is*" Cosmo said as he flew off in the direction he sensed Matt's mind, while the others followed him.
When they found him, they saw him chained up on a rooftop talking to another man who wore a black jacket and shirt along with brown pants.
Cosmo read his mind, and whimpered slightly.
"What's wrong buddy?" Naruto asked, as they floated above them.
"*This man is dangerous,*" Cosmo said worriedly.
"How dangerous we talkin?" Nebula asked, as she reached for her stun batons.
Cosmos' eyes glowed, as he showed them the man's past, and his thoughts.
"Oh my god" Will said, as her hands went to her mouth in shock.
"This man is very dangerous. He thinks he has nothing left to lose, and that makes him very dangerous," Nebula said with narrowed eyes.
"What's he doing to Matt?" Naruto asked Cosmo, as he cautiously watched the two of them.
"*He wants to prove a point, that he's too weak to finish the job*" Cosmo said.
Naruto then said "Come on, let's go and help Matt" before he flew over to the two of them, with the girls and Cosmo following.
When they got close enough, Matt and the other guy looked in their direction.
"Who the hell are you guys?" the guy wearing the jacket asked, as he stood up from sitting on a pile of bricks.
"Seriously? What, have you been living under a rock or something?" Will asked him with a raised eyebrow.
"Or something Red," the man said with a growl.
"Who are you, and why are you doing this to our friend?" Naruto asked him.
"My name's none of your damn business, and the same for why I'm talking to Red over there" he said, while nodding over to Matt's chained up form.
Suddenly, the man felt another presence behind him and a kunai to his neck. When he looked behind him, he saw another Naruto there.
"See here's the thing, Daredevil here is our friend and you are obviously not a friend of his. So you have two choices: talk or I ask again, but not as nicely" the Naruto clone said with a glare.
"You think I don't know how to handle torture blondie?" the man asked him.
"*No, but I bet you can't defend from my attacks*" the man heard in his head, as Cosmo's eyes glowed.
"Telepath," the man growled out with narrowed eyes.
"Yup, so either you tell us or Cosmo here does" Will said while crossing her arms over her chest.
"You better tell us, or Cosmo here might make you think you're a 5 year old" Nebula said.
"Fine. I'm someone that does what you heroes are too weak to do, I cut off the cancer of this city. I'm the surgeon, and you heroes are just a placebo" the man said.
"So you kill everyone you don't agree with?" Naruto asked with a glare.
"*No, he's only killed criminals so far. But he's almost hurt innocents that have gotten in the way,*" Cosmo said.
"Let's just knock him out. and send him to Fury. I bet they could pick him up somewhere" Will said with a slight shrug.
Nebula nodded her head in agreement, while adding "And I bet that Fury would have a few missions or something that are perfect for this guy."
Suddenly, the man dropped something from his jacket, and a bright flash went off.
"Shit!" Naruto yelled, as they were all blinded while holding their hands up to their faces.
Soon the flash was gone, and so was the man.
"He's either very good, or very lucky," Nebula said with a scowl.
"I'll say, the guy killed my clone," Naruto said, as he got the memories back from his clone.
Will had walked over to Matt, and saw that he was a little beat up and still alive, just unconscious.
Suddenly, a building across the street exploded.
"Damn it," Naruto growled, as he saw several bikers on the floor who were dead outside the burning building.
"Let's get Matt to his apartment," Will said.
Naruto nodded in agreement, as they all took off.
`0o0o0o0`
(Hours later, at Matt's apartment)
Naruto and the others were inside Matt's apartment, waiting for him to wake up while he rested on his couch.
Suddenly, Naruto's phone went off and when he pulled out his phone, he saw it was Tony.
"Hello?" Naruto said, answering his phone.
"What the hell happened out there?!" Tony yelled out.
"Some psycho attacked Daredevil, and blew up some building" Will said, as Naruto put the phone on speaker, so that the others could talk with Tony too.
"That building was a biker bar," Tony told them.
"Let me guess; all casualties were of gang members?" Nebula asked with a frown.
"Yes, now who was this guy?" Tony asked.
"We never got a name from him, but he's skilled," Naruto said.
"His name is the Punisher," Matt said as he woke up, and carefully sat up on his couch. "He thinks all criminals are rabid dogs, and don't deserve any mercy. He's already killed over a hundred criminals, from mob men to gang members" he said with a frown.
"Great, this guy has an actual name?" Tony asked with a sigh.
"*Frank Castle*" Cosmo said.
"I'm gonna assume from the silence, that Cosmo just said something. Remember people, I can't hear him over the phone" Tony said with a sigh.
"He said that his name was Frank Castle Tony," Naruto said.
"Okay, I've just typed the name in now. And now I'm pulling up his record" Tony told them.
"Well, what's this guy's story?" Will asked him.
"According to what I've found about our Mr Frank Castle, his family was killed in an incident involving the mob, but it was never proven" Tony said.
"What about any military training?" Naruto asked.
"Apparently, Frank was quite the marine, before something happened on one of his missions that caused him to leave," Tony said to them.
"Thanks Tony," Naruto said before he hung up.
"So, an ex marine with nothing to lose is waging a one man war against every criminal from New York" Will said with a small frown.
"I say let him do what he wants, nobody cares about the mob anyway" Nebula said.
"But if we do, then innocent people might get caught in the crossfire" Matt said.
"Then we save them, and not the mob. I'm not wasting my time saving scum" Nebula said with a scowl.
Matt gave a nod, as he found that okay.
"Look, let's put a pin in this for now. We wanted your help with something Matt" Naruto said, as he sat down while the girls leaned against the walls.
"Lawyer trouble? I thought you had Jennifer helping you with all your legal trouble" Matt asked.
"No, nothing like that. We've heard about ninjas causing trouble in the area, and we want to take care of it so nobody dies" Naruto said.
"The Hand," Matt said.
"The who now?" Will asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Does this involve turtles?" Nebula asked.
Will snorted at this. "That was the Foot Nebula, and this isn't a cartoon. I think we need to stop you from watching cartoons, if you're going to take some of what you watch too seriously," Will told her.
"I was kidding Will," Nebula said with a smile.
"*You know how to joke?*" Cosmo asked curiously.
"Good effort," Naruto said with a smile at Nebula, who gave a smile back.
"Anyway, the Hand is a group of ninjas that actually worked with Fisk, before he was arrested" Matt said.
"What are their motives, and how many people are part of this group?" Naruto asked him.
"I have no idea. All I know is that they are ruthless and will do whatever it takes to win" Matt said with a frown, as he leaned forward slightly.
"If you had an aura reading, I could track them," Naruto said.
"Don't let them know that. If they find out you can do that, they will go after you and your loved ones" Matt said, turning his head to Naruto to give him a hard look.
Naruto sighed at this. "I guess the best we can do is trust you to call us if you encounter them" he said, looking at Matt.
Matt nodded at this, as he now owed Naruto twice now.
"Well, we may as well head home then. Stay out of trouble Batman" Nebula said, as she turned and headed for the window.
This made Will laugh. "Ha! He is like Batman!" she said as she laughed with Cosmo following her, and they both followed after Nebula.
"Well, if she's gonna compare me to a fictional hero, at least it's a cool one" Matt said, as he laid down with a small smile on his face.
"Maybe you can convince Karen to be your Robin," Naruto said as he left, dodging a thrown club from Matt who was not amused.
Naruto and Cosmo went through the window, and saw the girls on the fire escape. "Ready to head back?" he asked them, with the two girls giving a nod before they either flew or leapt off the fire escape.
As they flew, Naruto sensed something happening in an alleyway, which caused him to stop flying.
Will looked back at him, when she noticed he was no longer with them. "What's the matter Naruto?" she asked, as she flew back over with Cosmo and Nebula not far behind her.
"I sense something nearby," Naruto said, as he took off to go inspect the alleyway. The girls and Cosmo looked at each other with raised eyebrows, before following him.
When Naruto arrived in the alleyway, he saw a woman with long red hair and a black line about halfway going around her hair and a skintight yellow outfit, along with a big dog with a strange looking antenna on its head.
"Wow, and I thought Cosmo was unique" Naruto said, as he landed near them, which caused the dog to start growling at him, as it stood protectively in front of the girl.
Naruto smiled, and channeled some Sage Chakra in his body, to hopefully calm the dog down.
The dog suddenly perked up, before walking over to Naruto. He gave Naruto a few sniff's before giving him a lick on his face.
Naruto laughed at this, and patted the dog on the head as he looked at the woman. "I'm gonna guess you're not from around here?" he asked her.
The woman looked at Naruto and smiled, as she figured if her protector liked him he must be OK. "Would you believe the moon?" she asked him, hoping he wouldn't think she was crazy.
Naruto raised an eyebrow at this. "Let's talk," he said, as he led the two to a more safe place.
Will, Nebula and Cosmo had watched this from afar and were surprised when they saw the big dog, and where the woman had said they were from.
"Come on, let's follow them and see what this lady wants with Naruto," Will said as it seemed like too much of a coincidence to her, that this woman had turned up in this alley they were flying past.
`0o0o0o0`
(Naruto's condo, a while later)
Naruto had passed the woman a glass of water, and placed a large bowl of water on the floor for her dog. Will and Nebula were sitting on the couch in the living room, while Cosmo laid on the floor.
"So, what's your name?" Naruto asked the woman.
After taking a sip of water, she said "My name is Crystal and this is Lockjaw" while gesturing her hand towards the giant dog.
"Why have you come to Earth, more specifically New York?" Will asked her, as she leaned forward and rested her head on her interlocked hands.
Crystal sighed. "I wanted to see Earth, and hopefully find some allies for my people back home" she told her.
Nebula leaned forward a little, as she asked "Why? Is your home under attack or something?"
Crystal stood up from the chair, and walked off to look out the window with her arms crossed. "It's more like a civil war," she told them.
"Let me guess; there is someone that wants to rule and his way is through force" Naruto said with a frown.
"Yes. He wants to force our current leader out, but he is biding his time since our leaders ability is so strong," Crystal said.
"What about you? What ability do you have?" Naruto asked curiously.
Crystal turned around, and made water appear over her hand before freezing it then evaporated it by having flames appear on her hand.
"Three elements? That's pretty powerful if you trained hard enough" Will said, with an impressive look.
"I actually control all the elements," Crystal said with a grin.
"Great, she is pretty much Narissa but not a psycho" Will said, as she threw her hands up slightly.
"Who is this Narrisa?" Crystal asked, with a tilt of her head.
"Nobody you need to worry about. She was some power hungry hag, that killed her best friend to gain more power" Naruto said, with a small glare.
"I would never do something like that. Friends are more important than power" Crystal said, with Lockjaw barking as though in agreement.
"So, do all your people have powers on the moon?" Nebula asked her.
Crystal nodded, saying "Yes. Everyone has different powers and abilities, and no two have the same power or ability."
"Kind of like mutants here on Earth," Naruto said.
"Mutants?" Crystal asked with a raised eyebrow.
Naruto, Will and Nebula explained to her what mutants are and that some people fear them, wish to use them as weapons and that only a few see them as friends (minus those that hate humans).
Crystal was surprised that another kind of metahuman existed on Earth. "Wow. If our leader knew this, he may be more open to not trusting Earthlings," she said with a frown forming on her face.
Suddenly, they heard a crash down in the restaurant below them.
Cosmo and Lockjaw started to growl, hearing this.
"*Intruder*" Cosmo said.
"He can talk?" Crystal asked, surprised as she thought that Cosmo was a normal dog.
"Yeah, and he can also do a few other things too" Will said, as they all heard some voices.
"Let's find her and end this. Once she's dead, the royal family will no longer be a problem" a female voice said.
"Royal family?" Naruto whispered to Crystal.
She gave him a sheepish look, as she said "Did I not mention that the leader is our King, and that he is my brother in law."
"That's an important piece of information Crystal," Will said, as she transformed into her guardian form.
"OK, here's the plan: me, Will and Nebula will go take care of this. Cosmo, Lockjaw if anyone but us comes back, attack them and protect Crystal" Naruto said.
Cosmo and Lockjaw nodded at this, as they both stood protectively in front of Crystal.
"You don't have to do this. I can just flee with Lockjaw," Crystal said.
"Nonsense, you're our friend. So sit tight" Will said with a smile, as the three of them went through the door that led downstairs to the restaurant.
Crystal smiled brightly as she didn't have a lot of friends, since everyone back home just treated her as royalty.
`0o0o0o0`
(Downstairs)
"Are you sure that the princess is here Locus?" a female asked the second female.
"Yes Auran. I know that she's here in this building, I just don't know where as I'd only tracked her to this location" was the reply from the second female Locus, who glared at the first now known to be named Auran.
"Well, that's helpful" said a man's voice sarcastically.
"You know how my ability works Pulsus, I can only track where she is" Locus said glaring at the revealed Pulsus. "For all I know, she used that stupid mutt of her's to go somewhere else."
"Well use your ability again, and see if she's still here or not" Auran demanded her.
Locus shot Auran a quick glare, and took a deep breath before she was launched back as though pushed by something and smashed into one of the tables.
"If you were going to do what I thought you were about to do, I'd much prefer not to have all the glass in my restaurant be broken," Naruto said as he lowered his hand after doing a small Almighty Push. Will and Nebula stood either side of him, with them both standing ready.
"Who are you?" Auran demanded from them.
"Well thats a stupid question, as we are who we are and we are who we were and we are who we'll always be," Naruto told her with a smirk as Will and Nebula giggled at Naruto's reply. (Free cookie to anyone that knows what TV series I got this from.)
"You dare mock us?" Pulsus asked with a glare, as he made electricity appear on his hands.
"Oh cool, I can do that too," Will told him, as she made a ball of electricity appear in one of her hands.
This took the three Inhumans by surprise, with Auran and Locus looking at Pulsus with Locus saying "I thought that no two Inhumans could have the same power or ability?" as she got up off the floor, and walked over to her allies.
Auran nodded, as she gave Will a hard glare while thinking "Who is this woman, and how does she have the same power as Pulsus?"
"I would watch who you glare at, especially when you invade their home. Legally, I can do whatever I want to subdue you. I could easily kill you, and go eat like nothing happened" Nebula growled out.
"Ha! I'd like to see you try, as I'm hard to kill" Auran said with a cocky grin.
Suddenly, Will appeared behind her in a flash in the middle of a kick, and struck her hard in the head sending her to the floor in a heap knocked out.
"I bet you can't do that sparky," Will said looking at Pulsus with a raised eyebrow.
"Who else wants to do something stupid, and get hurt?" Naruto asked with his arms crossed.
"We are looking for one of our people, she has no place among you down here" Locus said as she tried to reason with them.
"Yea, not happening. She told me all about the grab for power your boss is trying to pull," Naruto said with a glare.
"So you have two options: you leave now or you leave beaten to death. Oh, and chose quickly," Will said.
"Either way, you're leaving now" Nebula said, as she drew her stun batons in case they tried anything.
"I will not be disgraced by some trash!" Pulsus shouted out, as he made an electric ball appear in his hand.
Naruto suddenly slammed a Rasengan into his stomach, sending him through a wall.
Nebula then attacked the final one, as she jabbed her with her stun batons knocking her out from the electric shock.
"So, what do we do with them now?" Will asked, as she changed back to normal.
"We tie them up, and interrogate them," Naruto said.
Nebula gave a nod, while saying "And maybe find out how many are against the king."
"Well, hopefully we can find a way to meet this king, and tell him the situation" Naruto said, as the three of them each picked up the unconscious Inhuman they knocked out.
`0o0o0o0`
(Back upstairs)
"Y-you beat them?" Crystal asked, as they came back upstairs.
"Oh please, I get a better challenge trying to hide chocolate from Nebula" Naruto said with a smile, as Nebula punched him in the shoulder with a light blush, since she was quite partial to chocolate.
"What's chocolate?" Crystal asked curiously.
Naruto set down Pulsus on the floor with Will and Nebula doing the same with the other two, and walked over to a cupboard before he opened it and grabbed a bar of chocolate. He then walked over to Crystal, while opening it and broke some off before handing it to her.
"This is chocolate, and it's very delicious" he told her, before he went over to a drawer. He then opened it, and took out some sealing paper while handing some each to Will and Nebula before taking some for himself.
They then walked back to the unconscious Inhumans, and slapped the sealing papers on them. While they did this, Crystal took a bite of chocolate which caused her eyes widened in surprise, as she smiled and continued to eat it.
Suddenly, one of the Inhumans started to wake up, and looked around to see where she was.
"Ah, our first intruder is awake" Naruto said as he kneeled in front of her.
"I'm not telling you any -" Locus said, before Nebula slugged her in the head.
"You invaded my home, and threatened my friends. You're gonna talk, or I'm gonna send you home in a body bag," Nebula said with a glare.
Locus looked at Nebula, as she glared at her and started to panic. She tried to move, but she couldn't no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't even lift a finger.
"No use trying to move, as we've restricted your movements completely" Naruto told her, gesturing to the sealing paper on her and her allies bodies.
"I would talk, before she stops being nice," Will said as she crossed her arms.
"That's her being nice?!" Crystal thought, as she nibbled on some chocolate.
"Now, what are you here to do?" Naruto asked.
"W-we are here to bring Crystal back, so our leader has a bargaining chip against Black Bolt
"Hostage huh? How many men does your leader have?" Naruto asked her.
"He has close to a hundred trained soldiers," Locus said.
"Pfft, no wonder you need a hostage" Nebula said, clearly not impressed with whoever their leader is.
"How is your leader planning on taking out Black Bolt?" Naruto asked, while giving her a hard look.
"By threatening to kill Crystal. She's seen as a weakling by our leader, for being peace loving and being interested in Earth" Locus told them.
"Why would Earth interest you lot anyway? You live on the moon" Nebula said.
"A lot of our people hate having to hide," Crystal said with a frown. She then looked out the window, as she added "And our ancestors used to live on Earth generations ago, before they fled to the moon as humans back then feared us."
"You all stayed under the radar that long?" Will asked in surprise.
"Well, Wakanda did it too," Naruto said with a small shrug, not really surprised.
"I think a secret society on the moon has them beat," Will said looking at Naruto with a grin.
"Touché," Naruto said, giving her a grin back.
"When's your leader gonna start his attack on Black Bolt, and those that still follow him?" Nebula asked with a glare.
Locus seemed to shrink into herself from the glare, as she replied "The boss said that the attack would happen in a few hours. That's why he wanted Crystal now."
Crystal gained a worried look at hearing this. "I have to get back home to stop this!" she said in a panic.
"Not alone you're not," Will said.
Naruto nodded, saying "We're coming with you, as you're gonna need all the help you can get."
"How do we get there though?" Nebula asked.
"Lockjaw can take us there easily," Crystal said with a smile as she patted said dog on the side.
Lockjaw barked at this, ready to help.
"Good, now let's go crash this party" Will said with a grin.
"I'm thinking we should call in some help. There are only 6 of us, and we don't know what powers to expect" Naruto said.
"X-Men?" Will asked with a smile.
"X-Men" Naruto said, nodding in agreement.
"I'm calling Jennifer and the Fantastic 4 too," Nebula said, while getting out her phone.
"Sure, let's curb stomp these guys" Will said with a grin.
"Will, you and Crystal go with Lockjaw, go get Jennifer and the Fantastic 4. I'll go get the X-Men" Naruto said.
"*And us?*" Cosmo said with a tilt of his head.
"You and Nebula keep guard of the stooges here," Will said as her, Crystal and Lockjaw teleported away.
Naruto nodded, as he disappeared in a yellow flash.
`0o0o0o0`
(An hour later)
Naruto and his team were all assembled on the roof of The Rising Tide all getting ready to go.
"Now this is what I call a team," Will said with a big grin, looking at who was assembled: what was the Fantastic 4, She Hulk, Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Storm and a new face was among the X-Men too.
"Nice to see you're giving being part of a team a chance," Naruto said, to whom he recognized as X-23.
"Laura," the young woman said, looking at Naruto curiously which got Logan's attention.
"Keep it in your pants bub, or we are gonna talk" Logan said with a light glare at Naruto, who spluttered as the women there laughed, and the guys snorted at his predicament.
"Awwww, you're a protective father" Will said with a smile, finding this to be cute.
"Damn right I am, and proud of it" Logan said as he crossed his arms.
"I'm a adult. If I want him, I'll take him" Laura growled at Logan, while giving him a fierce glare.
"Ha! I like her," Jennifer said with a grin at Laura.
"Can we please focus?" Naruto groaned out, with his hand rubbing his forehead.
"What? I'm not good enough for you?" Laura asked, with an edge in her voice.
["Ha! You're screwed no matter what you say!"] Kurama said, as he laughed hard.
Naruto groaned at this, cause if he said yes Logan would want to hurt him, and if he said no Laura would probably do worse than him.
"Well? She's expecting an answer" Will said, with an evil grin on her face as she was enjoying seeing Naruto squirm.
"Quiet you," Naruto said to her with a hard look.
"*He finds her very attractive*" Cosmo said to everyone on the roof.
"Traitor," Naruto grumbled out.
"Good dog. I owe you a steak" Laura said, as she patted him on his head, as she looked at Naruto like he was her prey.
"Oh boy," Naruto thought, in both fear and a little excitement.
"Let's just do this. I'll just castrate whiskers later" Logan growled, as he gave Naruto a glare.
"Yes, what's the plan luv?" Rogue asked Naruto, while crossing her arms.
"We get there, take out these rebels and secure this king Black Bolt," Naruto said.
"Make sure Crystal is with you when you find him, otherwise he might see you as an enemy to his kingdom" Nebula said, as she stood next to the captive Inhumans.
"Play nice with the king, got it" Johnny said with a thumbs up.
"How are we getting to the moon?" Storm asked.
Crystal stepped forward, and patted Lockjaw. "He can teleport us all there," she said.
"Your kidding right?" Scott asked with a raised eyebrow, finding it hard to believe.
"You met Cosmo, is this really that any more weird?" Naruto asked.
Scott shrugged his shoulders, as he said "Fair point."
Crystal looked at Lockjaw. "Ok boy, try to get us into the royal chamber ok?" she said, as she gave him a comforting stroke.
"There's a big piece of meat, if you get us there boy" Will said with a smile.
Lockjaw started panting in excitement, as his tail wagged as he barked and they all disappeared in a bright flash of light.
`0o0o0o0`
(Royal Chamber on the moon)
Black Bolt and Medusa were at the throne, watching as the royal chamber doors were forced open and his brother Maximus entered with his men, with some aiming guns at the two of them.
"Any last words brother?" Maximus asked sarcastically, with a smug grin.
A bright flash of light then suddenly appeared, and Naruto and his team appeared in the middle of the room.
"Knock knock!" the Thing said, as he slugged one of Maximus men hard.
"Room service!" the Human Torch said, as he burst into flames and flew up before throwing a fireball at a large group of Maximus men, which sent them all flying when the fireball hit the ground. All the other heroes then rushed Maximus men, and fought them either in small groups or by themselves.
Laura jumped at a big hulking soldier, and stabbed him in the neck with the blade in her foot, and stabbed another in the face with her claws on her hands.
"Damn Logan, you teach her restraint?" Will asked, as she zapped a few soldiers with her lightning, along with Storm who also used some wind to knock them over.
"Well, these guys are shooting to kill" She Hulk said, as she dodged a laser blast before she forcibly clapped her hands together, which threw some of the men back from the shockwave.
"Still not a good look Miss Logan," Mr Fantastic said to Laura, as he stretched around some soldiers and squeezed them, until they passed out.
Naruto saw Maximus trying to make his way to Black Bolt and Medusa, and he instantly was in front of him blocking his path.
"Not happening asshole" Naruto growled out.
"Out of my way, human" Maximus said in disgust.
"Sadly, I can't. Ya see, Crystal asked me and my friends to stop you, plus I'm not exactly a fan of family trying to kill family either" Naruto said, as he glared at Maximus
"My brother is weak. He would rather our people live in darkness, then take back the Earth from the people that forced us to leave it" Maximus said, as he glared at his brother over Naruto's shoulder.
"A real leader protects his people, not seek war" Naruto said with a nod to Black Bolt, as he looked back at him.
Black Bolt nodded in understanding at Naruto's words.
"Enough of this!" Maximus yelled, as he pulled a blaster from under his robes. But before he could do anything, he froze in place.
"I would appreciate you surrendering, so I don't have to tear your mind apart" Jean said, as she floated over.
"Men, kill them all!" Maximus yelled furiously.
"Too late bub, all your men are either dead or incapable of helping you" Wolverine said, as Maximus looked and saw that all of his men were defeated.
"It seems your plan has failed spectacularly" Medusa said, as she approached the frozen Maximus with a slight smirk on her lips.
Maximus growled, as he tried to get free but Black Bolt finally got up and approached with a glare.
"You would kill your own brother?" Maximus asked him.
Black Bolt glared, as he opened his mouth which made Medusa and Crystal flinch.
Naruto felt his instincts tell him to flee for a moment.
["Kid, get down now!"] Kurama yelled urgently.
"Everybody, get down!" Naruto yelled out to the others, as he dove to the ground.
Everyone did as instructed, as Black Bolt yelled and Maximus was sent flying into a wall, which made a splatter of blood and gore.
"Holy crap!" Johnny yelled in shock, seeing this.
Nightcrawler made a silent prayer for the now dead Maximus.
Black Bolt then looked at Naruto, and Will instantly appeared in front of him with a hard look in her eyes.
"Relax, no harm will come to you or your friends," Medusa said to Will, as Black Bolt nodded in agreement.
"That's a relief," Naruto said happily.
Black Bolt signed something at Naruto, with a small smile.
"Anyone catch that?" the Thing asked
"He said; you have a good woman since she was quick to defend you, when she thought I was going to attack you" Medusa said with a smile, as she agreed with her husband.
"Thanks, Black Bolt right?" Naruto asked, as everyone relaxed before they chatted amongst themselves.
Black Bolt nodded at Naruto, as he signed at Naruto again.
"He wishes to know why you are here to defend him," Medusa said.
"Like I said earlier, Crystal asked me to help and I got some friends of mine together to help. I'm just sorry that you were forced to kill your brother," Naruto said with a frown.
Black Bolt signed at Naruto once again, with a hard look on his face.
"He thanks you for your sympathy, but Maximus chose his fate and knew what breaking our laws meant," Medusa told him.
"Is Crystal going to be punished for bringing us here?" Will asked them, as she crossed her arms.
Black Bolt signed, as he shook his head.
"He says of course not. You are all considered friends of our people for coming to our defense," Medusa told them all with a smile on her face.
This caused everyone to cheer, and raise their hands high in the air.
"So, what happens now then? And what do we do with the three on Earth that tried to kill Crystal?" Naruto asked them.
Black Bolt gained a thoughtful look, before he signed his answer.
"Black Bolt says that those three will be brought back here, where they will face justice for their crimes like the rest of Maximus' men," Medusa said with a hard glare. She then gave them a smile, as she added "He also says that if Crystal wishes to visit you, then that is fine. Since obviously, you're more than capable of protecting her."
"That's fine with me," Naruto said with a smile.
"I bet it is,'' Johnny said with a smirk.
"Shut up, flame head," Naruto said as he shot Johnny a glare.
"Let's head home, before Nebula gets worried" Will said
Naruto gave a nod, as he said "Yeah, and she might take it out on our prisoners."
"Or worse, your chocolate stash" Will said teasingly.
Naruto rolled his eyes, as they all left thanks to Lockjaw.

(A few days later)
Naruto and Cosmo were relaxing at their condo, while Will, Jennifer and Nebula took Crystal shopping at the mall.
Naruto and Cosmo were currently playing video games, and were actually enjoying themselves as they were playing Forza Horizon 4.
"I'm gonna beat ya Cosmo" Naruto said as he raced past Cosmo.
"*Not if I beat you first*" Cosmo replied.
Suddenly the door opened, and Will and the others saw Naruto and Cosmo playing.
"Well, it's not exactly what I expected when you said 'you were gonna play with Cosmo' today" Will said with a smile, as she put her shopping bags down.
"Hey girls, how did it go shopping with Crystal?" Naruto asked with a grin as he paused the game.
Jennifer shrugged her shoulders, as she said "It went okay. She was always asking questions about everything that we passed, and we sometimes had to stop her from doing something embarrassing."
"Well, the moon doesn't have what we have, so be patient with her," Naruto said as he gave her a smile.
"Well, anyway whiskers I took care of that incident with the Italians for you," Jennifer said, as she sat down on a couch with a smile.
"So, I'm off the hook then?" Naruto asked hopefully.
"Not exactly," Nebula said as she sat down too.
"Great, how much?" Naruto asked with a groan.
"Relax. I got you community service, and it's something you may like" Jennifer said.
"I'm listening," Naruto said as he leaned back.
"You're gonna go to an orphanage, and visit the kids there," Jennifer said.
"Yea, cause apparently me and you are popular with those kids, and they want to see us" Will said with a smile, as she leaned against a doorway.
Naruto shrugged his shoulders, saying "Okay that sounds cool. I could maybe even give them an autograph and have some pictures taken with them."
"Don't let his cool attitude fool you, he has a soft spot for kids" Will said with a grin at him.
"Damn straight I do. You know how I grew up," Naruto said to Will, who frowned at that.
"What do you mean Naruto?" Crystal asked him with a raised eyebrow, as Nebula looked over as she knew he'd had a rough childhood, but she didn't know how rough.
Naruto sighed at this. "My parents died the day I was born, and I grew up an orphan
The others frowned at this.
"*So what's the plan?*" Cosmo asked, as he looked up at them from the floor.
"Will, call a toy store and rent a truck. This orphanage is about to have a good day" Naruto said with a smile.
"I'm on it," she said as she headed for the phone
"Meanwhile, let's watch some TV," Nebula said, as she turned on the news.
They then saw a breaking news story "Nick Fury dead, and Captain America is on the run."
They all saw this, and their eyes widened in shock.
"There's no way Cap killed him," Will said.
Naruto gave a nod of agreement, as Steve didn't have it in him to kill the man that helped the world, even if Nick was a prick at times.
"Yea, I smell a rat" Jennifer said, as she didn't trust S.H.I.E.L.D, as they were always bugging her because of her abilities.
"What should we do?" Nebula asked, as even though she'd only met Nick and Cap once or twice she could tell they were both good men.
"We go find Cap. and get an explanation, that's what" Naruto said, as he stood up.
"You have him marked, don't you?" Will asked with a smile.
"Technically, his shield," Naruto said, as he gave her a smile back.
"So, who's going with?" Nebula asked, as she leaned forward.
"This requires stealth, so it's me, Will and Nebula," Naruto said.
"*And the rest of us?*" Cosmo asked curiously.
Naruto handed each of them a slip of paper. "You're all on standby, in case things get nuts. Hold on to these, and I can summon you guys to my location" he said.
They all gave a nod, and took the bits of paper as the girls put them in their pockets, while Cosmo put his through his collar.
"OK, let's do this. I have a feeling Steve needs backup" Naruto said as he, Will and Nebula disappeared in a yellow flash.
"Good luck fellas," Crystal said softly.
`0o0o0o0`
(With Steve, Natasha and Sam)
Steve was trying to get to Natasha, before the Winter Soldier could finish her, when Natasha disappeared in a yellow flash, out of the Winter Soldiers line of sight.
Both Steve and the Winter Soldier looked around for her, with Steve knowing Naruto was near and the WInter Soldier doing so in confusion.
"Up here Fullmetal," Naruto said from a rooftop, holding Natasha in his arms bridal style.
"My hero," Natasha said with a grin, as she leaned up to give him a slight kiss.
"Thank me when this is over Nat," Naruto said.
"Oh, I'm sure that she already has plans on how to 'thank ya' for saving her," Will said cheekily.
"Flirt later, fight now" Nebula said, as she pointed out some soldiers approaching in a van.
"Oh boy, leftovers," Will said as she took flight, and grabbed Nebula to go take care of them.
Naruto saw that Steve was fighting the Winter Soldier, and was actually having trouble. "This guy is good," Naruto said.
"You don't know the half of it," Natasha told him. She quickly told him everything she knew about the guy, and how she'd met the Winter Soldier a few years ago on one of her assignments, and how he bested her.
"He beat you? Wow," Naruto said, as he healed Natasha of her wounds with some healing jutsu.
"Yea thanks," Natasha said. as she felt great after he healed her. "Now let's go help Steve," she said with a determined look, as she wanted to get some payback on the Winter Soldier.
Naruto nodded, as he picked her up again and jumped down to the streets below, where the fight was happening.
The Winter Soldier had Steve's shield, and was attacking with it when Naruto appeared in front of him, and slammed a Rasengan into the shield, which actually sent everyone flying as the attack made an explosive shockwave.
"Note to self: don't do that again" Naruto groaned, as he pulled himself up from the ground.
"Agreed," Natasha said, as she got up from hitting the side of a car.
The Winter Soldier got up, and his mask was destroyed as he stared at them.
"Bucky?" Steve asked in shocked surprise, with his eyes wide open.
"Who is Bucky?" the Winter Soldier asked, before charging at Steve.
Suddenly, Will and Nebula appeared in front of him and blocked his way.
"Sorry, roads closed" Will said, before she blasted him with some lightning, which threw him back a bit.
The Winter Soldier struggled as he got up, as Will's lightning actually messed with his mechanical arm as it was glitching about.
Suddenly, a group of cars arrived and a bunch more soldiers showed up.
"Great, as if this party wasn't already crowded," Nebula said sarcastically, as she pulled out her stun batons and put them together before twirling it over her head, then held it in front of her ready to fight.
"Let's get this party started then," Naruto said as he pulled out a kunai.
"And me without a proper party outfit on," Natasha quipped as she got into a stance.
Suddenly, Naruto caught something on a flashing TV. It was barely visible for a second, but he saw a white flag with the symbol of Konoha on it.
"What the hell? The only one who knows that symbol, besides me and Will is…. that clever bastard" Naruto thought, as he instantly held up his hands in surrender.
"What the fuck Naruto?!" Will yelled, as her and Nebula glared at him while Natasha gave him a quirked eyebrow.
"Trust me Will," Naruto said as the soldiers approached the group and cuffed them before putting them in a van.
`0o0o0o0`
(Inside the van)
Naruto and the others were all in a van with some soldiers that had helmets on.
"Hey asshole, I need to go to the bathroom" Will said to a soldier, with a glare towards him.
One of the soldiers pulled a gun, but before he could do anything the other soldier attacked him, knocking him out.
"Thanks for the save?" Nebula said, feeling confused as the soldier took their helmet off.
"Maria, what are you doing here?" Natasha asked her.
"She's here to take us to Fury," Naruto said with a smirk
"Hang on, ain't he dead though?" WIll asked in confusion.
Naruto then explained why he surrendered to HYDRA.
"Clever," Will said with a smirk, impressed with Fury for having a way to get a message to Naruto.
"So Steve, you wanna explain what the hell is going on and how the hell you knew the Winter Soldier's name?" Naruto asked him.
One explanation later, and Naruto and Will had a headache coming on.
"Oh that's just great, HYDRA has been under your nose the whole time. No wonder the bosses in charge were so scared of my powers," Will said to Maria with a scowl.
"Their plan is insane," Nebula said with a frown, as just killing everyone who is or could be a threat was practically genocide.
"Why the hell didn't you call me, or any of the other Avengers?" Naruto asked Steve with a frown.
"I didn't want SHIELD going after you guys, if they caught wind of me asking you for help" Steve told him.
Naruto sighed at this. "I get that. But still, you can trust me Steve." he said
"Ditto, Star Man" Will said, along with Nebula who nodded in agreement.
Steve gave them a nod, as the van stopped.
"Follow me," Maria said as she led them to an abandoned dam.
`0o0o0o0`
(An hour later)
Naruto and his friends finally got all the information they needed from Fury, and made a plan on what they were gonna do.
"So, not only are we gonna trash their helicarriers, we are gonna tell everyone their secrets?" Naruto asked Steve, just to make sure he understood everything.
Steve nodded, confirming this was the plan
"Well, you will have an easy time getting everything put online, with me there one eye" Will said with a smile at Nick.
"And me, Steve and Sam can take care of the helicarriers," Naruto said, getting nods from Steve and Sam.
"What about HYDRA? It's not like there just gonna let you all do what you want" Fury asked.
"That's why we have some friends on standby," Nebula said, with confidence in her voice.
"And Barnes?" Fury asked with his eyebrow raised.
"I actually have the perfect answer for our brainwashed friend," Naruto said, as he thought of a certain dog friend of his that could be a great help.
