AU-Takes place around Naruto Shippuden episode 235
(Sea in the Mist)
"You had to invite them didn't you" Yamato said to Naruto creepily
"They were heading in this direction anyway" Naruto said as he was with three familiar cloud ninja Samui, Karui, and Omoi and Shizuka as this was her way back
"Apologize" Samui said to Karui as her teammate abused and beat Naruto to a bloody pulp, she had low G-cup breasts, curvy and slightly athletic body, and a bubbly ass
"Still can't believe this guy saved his village" Karui said as she beat him to a bloody pulp
"Believe it he beat me in less than a minute" Shizuka said to Karui, she had E-cup breasts, athletic body, and round firm ass
"He just got cooler" Samui said as she was impressed as she did a little research on him during her stay and did a little checking on some facts and learned he was very accomplished as a shinobi
"Ship" Guy said as another ship was passing by
"Oh no Karui behave" Samui said as she recognized the person on the other ship
"Naruto behave that's the Mizukage" Yamato said to him
Naruto looked at the Mizukage and was really attracted to her spikey auburn hair, the woman had large E-cup breasts, curvy body, and large bubbly ass
"Hello" Mei said as she looked at the men on board and was not impressed as one had creepy eyes, one was timid, and one had VERY large eyebrows which she almost mistook for caterpillars and then her eyes landed on a blonde with spikey blonde hair "well hello handsome" she said with a smile looking at Naruto
"Sup, gorgeous" Naruto said to her knowing her game as he knew way to many flirty women in the leaf one who drank his blood coming to mind
"Oh brother" Yamato said shaking his head
"Well aren't you just charming" Mei said as she approached him liking what she was seeing
"Well it's definitely a pleasure to welcome you aboard our vessel" Naruto said as he bowed
"And what is your name" Mei asked very interested
"Naruto Uzumaki" Naruto said politely as he kissed her hand
"Ooh I like this one" Mei said with a giggle as she liked polite men
Shizuka gave her a glare as she secretly wanted him and Samui unconsciously let one out
"When the heck did you get so smooth?" Yamato asked
"I don't travel with the two biggest perverts without picking up some tricks and knowing granny Tsunade kinda makes one see a woman's appeal and how to show proper respect" Naruto said to him
"Mind giving me pointers?" Yamato asked him actually wanting some advice
"With that creepy face of yours, nothing can help you my wood user friend" Naruto said as he got another creepy glare
"I don't like that weather" Guy said looking at the stormy sky
"It's as creepy as your caterpillar eyebrows" Shizuka said getting some laughs from the others
(1 hour later)
"This is fucking ridiculous!" Naruto said as the storm was crazy
"You're telling me!" Shizuka said as the wind was loud
Samui was trying to host the sails but even with her chakra attaching her to the ship she was blown over the deck into the water
"I got her" Naruto said jumping after her
"Naruto" Shizuka said as she jumped after him
'We can't lose the jinchuriki' Mei thought following after wanting to make sure Naruto made it back
"I got you" Naruto said as he grabbed Samui and saw Mei and Shizuka followed behind "what the hell is this" he asked as a blue whirlwind swirled around them
"It looks like chakra" Mei said as it was too bright to be anything else
(?)
"This'll be a problem" Hagoromo said as he looked at Naruto and the three women 'I'll need to replace them with perfect and exact copies' he said as he made perfect doubles appear and sent them back in place of the originals 'they may be able to handle what's happening where they're going' he thought as he made four sphere like devices appear
The first went to Naruto and opened up and a small drone like bot shaped like a X came out (looks like N'Baro Atksteel X376) and the drone bound to his chest and the hexagon pieces wrapped around Naruto making and armor of black and orange and the chest piece glowed gold
The second went to Shizuka and another small drone appeared(looks like Chomp link) and bonded to Shizuka's chest and the hexagon pieces wrapped around her making her suit violet and black and the chest piece was bright purple
The third went to Samui and the drone (Blast link) went to her chest and bonded to her the hexagon pieces wrapping around her the armor was icy blue, sliver, and her chest piece was white
The fourth went to Mei and the drone(Prism link) went to her chest and bonded to her the hexagon pieces wrapping around her the armor being navy blue, auburn, and the chest piece was blood red
'Be safe my son' Hagoromo thought as he let them go to their destination but chose the location and gave them some necessities they'd need
(few hours later)
"What the hell are we wearing" Naruto asked as he looked at what they were all wearing as they all sat in a large apartment "and why are you so young" he looking at Mei as he, Shizuka, and Samui were the same age and looked the same but Mei was younger
"No idea but I am not complaining also there is a letter for you" Mei said as she saw one on the counter
"'Dear Naruto and company you are in a different world I apologise in advance as this was a random occurrence as the universes experience moments where a bridge opens between them like a black hole and unlucky for you all you were there and there is no way back and if it'll make you feel better I left exact replicants in your place'" Naruto said reading off the letter "PS I have given you all documents to be able to survive in this world and things you need to know and also given you all knowledge to this universe's language sign Hagoromo Otsutsuki, The Sage of The Six Paths" he said surprising them all
(few days later)
After a brief period of anger and sadness of not being able to go home and getting to know their new world and got to know their bodies as the suits they had were incredible and they felt a rush of energy similar to chakra somehow able to generate more on their own but quickly learned to control it as it was unmistakably exactly like chakra
They all settled making their lives and deciding to go to school to learn
Naruto was wearing black pants, a gold shirt with his chest piece symbol, and an leather jacket modeled after his sage coat but the red was orange
Shizuka wore a black shirt with a purple over shirt with a small symbol for near her neck, a violet skirt, and black leggings
Samui wore a tight white tank top, small icy blue hoodie, and silver ripped up jeans
Mei was wearing a small leather jacket similar to Naruto's but her's said 'fifth Mizukage' and was navy blue, an auburn crop top, blood red skirt, and fishnet stockings
They had managed to get the same classes together and easily got work done when they worked together but the most exciting things were there after school activities as they became heroes fighting crime as they wanted to do good with their powers
Naruto took the name 'Maelstrom X' Mei took 'Volcano Mei' Samui 'Samui Blizzard' and Shizuka took 'Shizuka Storm'
"I swear how can people not know it's us" Mei said as no one made the connection to them
"No idea you guys get followed again" Naruto asked them as they had all been followed by black and red robots, men in white and green, and even a robot that was white and green
"Yeah we need to interrogate someone soon" Samui said as they let it go the first few times but now it was getting annoying
"I still can't believe what we can all do" Shizuka said as they all had powers relating to their elements
"I think we do great work" Naruto said as he saw a news paper about them as Copper Canyons protectors
(?)
"Mr. Jason Naught, explain to me how we can have 4 turbo energy signatures and 4 ultralink signatures and yet CANNOT TRACE THEM WHATSOEVER!" a scrawny old man said as he coughed looking at a well dressed man
"I don't know sir, I can't find a way to trace these so called heroes, I've tried all I can" Naught said
"Well find out, Miles Dredd must have Turbo Energy!" Dredd said before the signal cut off as Jason gulped in fear
(?)
"How is this possible, how'd we miss 4 ultralinks and 4 takonians?" Ferris said to them
"No idea sir I don't even know how this is possible I mean Jim was the last of his people right?" Jefferson said to him
"Yeah" Ferris said as he didn't mention Max as the teen hadn't shown signs of turbo energy and the people that they were searching for their energies didn't match Jim's and theirs were different colors from the blue Jim had
"What I'd like to know is how it is that they have different colors. I mean turbo energy has only ever shown as blue but they have purple, icy blue, blood red and gold and their energies are somewhat higher than Jim's at least a little bit" Berto said as he was interested in that
"Until we find them all we have is unanswered questions. Let's try and find them before something bad happens" Ferris said as they were cautious concerning the ultralinks due to field experience and their constant battle with them
(next day with Naruto)
"Hi Naruto Uzumaki" Naruto said as he introduced himself to the new kid
"Max McGrath" Max said to Naruto as they shook hands
'Whoa' they thought as they felt a jolt
"Static shock to it's finest right?" Naruto said trying to hide the energy surge 'that guys like us...but he's no ninja' he thought as the way Max carried himself was not the way a ninja carried themselves 'what is he' he thought to himself keeping a closer eye on Max
'Do all you humans make turbo energy or is it just the ones I hang around?' a voice said in Naruto's mind
'Oh zip it, X, something's different about him' Naruto thought as they all found out their chest pieces detached showing a drone that were self aware and conscious
(few hours later)
"Oh shit" Naruto said as he was laughing as Butch had just had his ass handed to him by Max who took off and he followed after 'let's see what you got Max' he said as he tossed Mei his keys as he ran after them
"Have fun" Mei said as she like the rest of the girls were checking out Naruto's ass
(with Naruto)
'Shit he's building energy' Naruto thought as he was running across rooftops following Max seeing him leak out energy and applying it to the bike and his physical abilities unconsciously
'If the kid keeps going he'll cause an explosion if he's not careful' X said as he was reading Max's turbo energy signature as they were rising the more he used it
'He has no idea his vitals are spiking' Naruto thought as Max was shocked this was happening to him "ok you dickless wonders runoff" he said looking at the bullies Butch, Jake and Dean that were running away as he went inside and saw Max 'X' he thought as he got his armor on
"He's about to cause a turbo explosion, get ready to absorb it" X said to Naruto
Max screamed as he unleashed turbo energy everywhere but it flew into Naruto's hands stopping the explosion
'He's strong and unstable' Naruto thought to himself
"Without a ultralink to control his turbo energy he'll keep doing that" X said as he detached from Naruto and hovered over the unconscious Max
"Freeze, get away from him" Forge said as he surrounded Naruto and X with other N-Tek agents
"Do you have a hospital he can go to, that explosion really took a lot out of him" Naruto asked as X relinked to him
"Yeah and you're coming with us" Forge said to him
"Okay" Naruto said to him
'Really?' X asked him
'He's not the enemy, besides maybe we can get some answers' Naruto thought to him as he was tired of being followed
"How did you manage to contain his turbo energy?" Forge asked him curiously as his men picked up Max
"I have the ability to absorb it, thankfully I was around otherwise bye-bye building" Naruto said as he smiled behind his mask "this keeps happening this guy is gonna die" he said seriously
"How are you sure?" Forge asked wondering how he knew that
"Because it nearly happened to me and my friends when we were first getting used to our little buddies" Naruto said looking at X
"Who are you?" Forge asked as they got on a ship
"Sorry that is none of your business" Naruto said as he had X send a message to the others so they don't over react when he got home late "hey bud" he said as Max woke up mid flight
"Uncle Ferris" Max said as he then looked at Naruto "hey you're Maelstrom X" he said as Kirby told him about the hero
"Hey Max" Forge said as they landed
"Where am I uncle Ferris?" Max asked as he got up and exited the plane
"Welcome to N-Tek" Forge said as he began showing Max around
'Better follow' Naruto thought as he saw a lot of guns readied to be aimed to him by a lot of soldiers
'Yo check the hologram looks like Max' X said to Naruto
"Dad" Max said looking at the hologram as he has only ever seen just a few pictures of the man
'Well that explains that' Naruto thought as there was certainly a lot of resemblance between the two
"So c'mon there's something I'd like to show you" Forge said as they went to a room
'This room ain't like the rest' X said as it seemed more like a containment room and he could swear he saw unactivated ultralinks
"What is it?" Max asked as they looked at a sphere inside a containment unit
"Broken, it's the last thing your father was working on… before he passed" Forge said sadly as the day was still fresh in his mind
As they passed the sphere it glowed blue for a moment
'Naruto don't enter that room only one door' X said to Naruto as the room Forge lead them to seemed like a containment cell
"So what's happening to me?" Max asked him
"You're generating turbo energy or Tachyon Unlimited Radiant Bio Optimized energy. Your father was exposed to it and apparently passed it to you" Forge said as they entered the room not noticing Naruto wasn't inside
"What is this place?" Max asked curiously
"The turbo chamber, it'll keep your power levels under control" Forge said to him as he walked away Max not noticing he was leaving
As Max entered the center of the room, the bridges to it deactivated
"So what, I'm your prisoner now?" Max asked a little annoyed
"This is the only way to keep you and those around you safe" Forge said as he nodded to Berto to start the chamber
Pieces of the room extended towards Max before they began glowing just as Max's turbo energy began to flow into them
"Where's the other guy" Berto asked curiously
"Let him out idiots" Naruto said knowing this wouldn't work "this'll never work" he said seriously
As Max began to get scared he began to generate even more turbo energy till he himself began glowing blue
"He's going critical" Berto said in worry
Suddenly the sphere they passed burst into the room before exploding in front of Max making hexagonal pieces float all over the place
"Steel? That's not possible" Forge said in total surprise
"X let's go" Naruto said to him as they ran out
The turbo energy powered ninja and his ultralink looked at Max who had a ultralink on his chest shaped like a 'M' and now clad in armor like there's but was white and blue
"Whoa, what the heck?" Max said looking at himself
"Let's go human" Steel said as he made Max's body move forward and knocked the door down
"Yo" Naruto said catching up to him seeing him knock out guards
"What's happening?" Max asked anyone who would answer
"Your link is taking control of your body so the two of you can escape, move" X said as Naruto moved Max to blast a guard
"Follow us" Naruto said as they stole some bikes
"Stop them" Forge said as they took out the solid holographic bridge but that didn't stop them
(Few minutes later)
"Forgot about the turbo touch" Naruto said as he was usually in control of that but he needed to keep up with Max
"Oh boy, greenhorns" X said as Max and Steel drove there's off the cliff but the bikes parachute system saved them
"Ok listen guys you need to...what the hell are you doing?" Naruto asked as Steel made Max move like an idiot
"Running a complete diagnostic of core matrix functionality" Steel said as he ran a systems diagnostics
"You have memory core damage bud" X said coming out of Naruto's chest
Steel yelped as Max grabbed him "Listen here robot mc space pants, Maxwell McGrath is nobody's puppet… what're you doing?" he said angrily and stopped midway as Steel was shaking and random errors showed up on his face
"I'm not doing anything, your energy output is overriding my turbo dampeners!" Steel said
"Throw him dude" Naruto said as to much of their energy was a bad thing
Max threw Steel at a boulder and watched it explode
"Way to go kid, you just discovered how to do the turbo-rang" Naruto said as he threw X like that once
"Turbo-rang?" Max asked curiously
"You threw him like a boomerang but Turbo-rang is what we call the move" X said as he hated it
"I certainly don't like it" Steel said dizzily as he dropped to the ground with a swirl icon where his eye goes
"Join the club, dude" X said as it still sucked in his opinion
"So am I like you?" Max asked seeing the similarities in their suits
"Not exactly but yeah" Naruto said as they had the same power
"I wonder what else I can do, us, we?" Max said wondering what he and Steel could do
"My technological acumen combined with your turbo powers, probably a great deal" Steel said as he got back up
"Let's do it Go...Turbo?" Max said as he and Steel just unleashed energy
"Really?" Naruto and X asked incredulously
"I thought it'd be cool, you know like a catchphrase or something" Max said
"Wanna give it a try X" Naruto asked getting a shrug
"Go Turbo!" Naruto and X said as they linked
Max and Steel yelped as they got knocked over by their energy wave and saw they were different and saw Naruto was a bit bigger with muscles but was roughly around the same size
"Cool what you call this strength mode?" Max asked
"Better than what he calls it" Naruto said as X called it a bunch of numbers and letters basically a serial number
"Uh dude, your feet are on fire!" Max said
Naruto looked below him and saw a fire 'we didn't do that' he thought as he didn't have any modes that did fire and he didn't use elemental chakra as he had been learning each from the girls
"Did you do that?" X asked Max and Steel
"No" The two said at the same time
"It… was… ME!" A large creature made of fire said on top of a cliff edge
"Fire monster?" Naruto asked with a smirk as he was actually excited as claws came out his hands
"Come with me or meet your ends!" the fire monster said
"You know I'm not really having a good day today so no thanks" Max said as he backed up
"Do you have any modes?" X asked Steel as he linked up to Max
"Scanning for modes" Steel said to him
"Hurry" Naruto said as he began fighting the guy
"Go Turbo strength" Max said as Steel showed him a mode
"Protocol X795, you're welcome" Steel said happily
"Okay, Turbo Strength mode it is" Max said to him
"Let's pummel this guy" Naruto said to him happily
"You are ultralinked?!" the fire monster said looking at their chest pieces
"Yep" Naruto said as he and Max ran up to him and sucker punched the guy
"Hands!" X and Steel said as both their hosts were on fire
"Guess close combat doesn't exactly go good against a thing made of fire" Naruto said as they may have been insulated but their armor could only take so much "Max go long" he said tossing the fire monster to Max
Max reeled back a punch before smashing his fist in the monster's face sending him flying past Naruto
"Andddd it's gone" Naruto said as he saw a jet coming
"Ow, ow, hot hot hot" Max said as he patted his hands
"Get in" Forge said to them
"Between him and the fire guy I'd take him" X said as they all entered the jet
"Uncle Ferris what was that" Max asked him
"A giant fire monster" Forge said simply
'He's being purposely vague' Naruto thought to X having a similar thought
'Lets try and find out why cause Naruto I know nothing about myself as well' X said to Naruto as he knew nothing about where he came from
"Steel suppress his turbo signature" Forge said in a commanding tone
"That's how the Fire Elementor tracked him isn't it?" Steel asked him
"And others will follow" Forge said worried
"Suppressing now" Steel said as he linked back up with Max
"2 I want you to come to N-Tek for training and 3 nobody tells your mother" Forge said
"She'll kill us if she finds out" both Max and Forge said at the same time
"What about you two?" Forge asked still needing information but didn't want to give Max the wrong impression
"Give us the night to think it over with the others" Naruto said as the others had as much right to this as they did
"I can respect that, okay" Forge said
(few minutes later)
'Oh c'mon he's my neighbor?' Naruto thought as they were dropped off on the roof of his building as he had the top floor and Max moved into the empty one below
'Huh small world' X said to him as Ferris left
"Well since he's gone" Naruto said undoing his helmet
"Naruto" Max said in surprise
"Yeah hey man" Naruto said as they fist bumped
"Why didn't you tell him?" Max asked curiously
"I just met him, no offense but I don't know if I can trust him so soon" Naruto said to him "mind keeping this quiet for now?" he asked him not wanting Forge to know who he was
"Sure man not my secret to tell" Max said as he often respected people's privacy
(few minutes later)
"They want something from us Naruto that it is clean and straight they were prepared for Max way before he got there they know something" Mei said as being a kage allowed her to see that as she dealt with it constantly
"You said his father worked there right and he knew Steel so they must've know things about these guys" Shizuka said referring to their links
"They gave you and him vague answers and responses they don't trust you or Max" Samui said as that was how it was for all ninja as the higher ups didn't think those lower than them needed to know that information
"Or maybe it's not me or Max he doesn't trust" Naruto said as he glanced at X and the other links
"What? Is there something on my faceplate?" X asked curiously
"We need to know more" Shizuka said as it was that simple
"That means working with them. They may be keeping secrets but they have the tech and the expertise and knowledge to help us" Samui said to them
"We need to be careful and find out more keep your friends close and your enemies closer" Mei said to them as that was how it was back home
"But how do we know who are our friends is the real question" Naruto said as there was still an unidentifiable player
"I say we go for it, we need the help and it'd be nice for X, Storm, Volcano and Blizzard to have another ultralink to call a friend" Shizuka said as she was looking at the upside
"As long as he doesn't hit on us or annoy my processors off, I'm cool" Blizzard said as she left Samui's chest
"Likewise" Volcano said leaving Mei's
"Our bot X won't let him, right honey?" Storm said as she left Shizuka's and leaned against X
'Lucky' all the human women thought as they got their man
"Alright, after school we go with Max and Steel to N-Tek" Naruto said to them "wear your work clothes" he said knowing they'd get the memo
"So we're working with them, they just can't know anything about us" Volcano said as it seemed pretty cut and dry
"Just until I can know they can be trusted" Naruto said as he didn't trust someone so easily
"Well, buddy, you gotta trust somebody in this world otherwise how are we gonna work with them" X said
"True, but I'm just trusting my gut, now let's get some sleep, don't forget we still have school" Naruto said as they all groaned
(next day)
"Dude no judgement but why is your phone pink and looking like it got trashed" Naruto asked
"It's not mine, it's this girl Sydney's I accidentally grabbed it and shorted it out when those guys were chasing me, oh what am I gonna do?" Max asked sounding depressed
"Give it here, let me see it" Steel said as he poked a hand out of his backpack
"You put him in your backpack?" Naruto said being glad nobody was noticing
"Well where else am I gonna put him?" Max asked
"Your chest" Naruto said to him
"Eh, after that making me move like a fool incident I'm kinda not trusting him" Max said simply getting a cough from Steel
"He did that outside of you" Naruto said as he pointed that out
"You mean he can do that whenever, besides what if he just pops out of my chest in the middle of class?" Max said incredulously
"You gotta trust me more Max" Steel said "Also here" he said as he handed the phone back to him
"Also nice hoodie man seriously very incognito" Naruto said as he looked at Max's hoodie
"You have it" Max said pointing to his shirt
"Yeah like so many people" Naruto said as his symbol was on his shirt and black and pointed to the many men and women who were wearing it "plus people might put 2 and 2 together when you do show up what's your name gonna be" he asked curiously
"Max/Steel" Max and Steel said at the same time
"Ok, Max Steel" Naruto said with a chuckle
"See you later, gotta give Sydney her phone back" Max said as he walked away
"Don't blow it what they say about blondes is true" Naruto said referring to blondes being hot and hot tempered/stubborn and sometimes crazy
Max laughed as he walked away
(couple hours later)
"Suit up" Naruto said as they were a block away from the location Forge gave Max
"Why here?" Max asked curiously
"One this block has no security or cameras and two we won't draw as much attention it is literally across the damn street from school we have a damn light show every time we transform" Naruto said as he wanted Max to be careful
"True, so where's your friends?" Max asked just as the three girls showed up "the girls you live with are linked wow and we all live under the same building" Max said laughing a little
"Small world, huh." Storm said with a chuckle
"Alright everyone you know what to do" Naruto said
"Go Turbo" they all yelled
"Hey question, when we start fighting crime does that make me your partner or sidekick?" Max asked
"Partner" Naruto said with a smirk as sidekick sounded like crap and then they all left for the location of the entrance
Max pointed at a wall and some kind of pod was revealed that opened up for them
"Yeah, first try" Steel said as he congratulated Max
"Looks like a rollercoaster" Mei said as she knew that this wouldn't be fun
"So how does it WORK!" Max said as when they entered it closed and dropped down very fast
"I'm gonna kill Forge" Naruto said angrily
(Few minutes later in N-Tek HQ)
"Oh remind me never to go on that thing with a full stomach" Max said as he held his stomach as he got out of the pod
"Not cool" Samui said as she felt nauseous
"Really wish I brought my sword" Shizuka said as she got up
"You can use the elements, what do you need a sword for?" Max asked as his stomach finally settled
"I feel naked without it, and not in a fun way" Shizuka said as she winked at Naruto then realized he couldn't see it due to her mask making her feel like an idiot
"Ready to get started? Oh and meet one of our top agents Kat Ryan and our tech genius Romberto Martinez" Forge said
"Call me Berto" Berto said to them
"If I knew you had beautiful women here, I'd have stopped by more often" Naruto said as he looked at Kat who blushed
"Smooth" Kat said with a chuckle, she had DD-cup breast, and an athletic body and ass
"So are we going into the ring I'll take this one on" Mei said wanting to burn Forge for the rollercoaster ride
"I'm very curious to see what you all can do" Berto asked as this was gonna be exciting
"Then I hope you have a lot of robots for us to practice on" Naruto said as he stepped into the ring and went into his turbo strength mode
"Why is his smaller than ours Steel" Max asked curiously
"Somehow I doubt that's true kid" Shizuka said with a laugh
"I don't get it" Steel said to her "but it could be it is made so it works with his flexibility" he said to Max
"I doubt… that's a good one" Kat said laughing at Shizuka's remark
"Wow he certainly is setting records 20 seconds" Berto said as Naruto stopped 8 of his robots
"Dibs" Mei said as she got in the ring "Go Turbo Stealth" she said as she went invisible and a fog enveloped around her
"How many turbo modes do you people have?" Berto asked in scientific curiosity as the others came closer wondering themselves
"Enough" the other three said to them
"Yo boss check it out that mist is melting the bots" Berto said as the robots turned to molten slag
"Let me give you a kiss that'll melt you away" Mei said to the final robot appearing as the mouth portion of her masked opened and she kissed it making it turn red hot melting immediately
"That girl's on fire, literally" Jefferson said to them as he ate a sandwich
"Ok lava girl I'm next" Samui said as she stepped into the ring "Go Turbo Flight" she said as she gained snowflake like wings, ice claws, and made it snow around her
"Her core temperature is low" Berto said as he was reading the temperature in the room and saw it was beginning to drop rapidly
"Your robots are dropping bro" Jefferson said as Samui was just touching them and the bots fell
"She's freezing the insides neutralizing them" Naruto said to them explaining what was happening
"Awesome" Max said thinking that was really cool
"Okay my turn" Shizuka said going in the ring high fiving Samui "Go Turbo, Lightning!" she said as she gained slicker armor and electricity began to appear around her before she made two whips made of lightning
"Whoa she's letting off a lot of juice" Berto said impressed
"We noticed" Kat said as her hair stood up
"Never affects me my hair always is like this" Naruto said as his hair wasn't affected
They watched as Shizuka pointed up and a cloud was made before pointing down causing lightning bolts to come out of the cloud and strike the robots
"And wow" Forge said as that was impressive
"Ok Max time for you to take the show" Naruto said as Max went in the ring
"Go Turbo, Strength" Max said loudly
One of the robots charged at him before he punched it causing his fist to go right through it
"Heads up Berto" Max said as he punched the bots head off sending it to Berto
Berto got pissed and sent in a legion of robots
Steel detached from Max, who then threw him slicing many of them in half and exploded
"Whoa" Forge said impressed
Berto growled as he sent out more and when one got a hold of Max he began spinning him around for a while then got looks from coworkers, he then chuckled sheepishly as he stopped making the robot toss Max up and through the holographic roof
"Steel, do something!" Max shouted feeling like he would hurl
"Got something new" Steel said as he showed him a new mode
"Go Turbo: Flight!" Max said as he changed to the new mode just in time to pull up before he slammed into the ground "Whoa, since when can we fly?!" he asked as he had some trouble controlling how fast he was going
"Don't know, but I like it" Steel said happy
"Looks like he has your mode maybe I do to let's try X" Naruto said happily "Go Turbo Flight" he shouted as he looked to have the same suit but had sharp claws and bat like wings on the back
"Well guess our modes aren't special" Samui said as she pouted slightly
"Hey don't think like that" Naruto said to her "hey Max I think you're good" he said as Max was basically hot dogging it
"Huh, oomph" Max said as he looked at them before going right into a wall "Ow" he said as he fell to the ground
"Dude your phone" Shizuka said as he was getting a call
"Oh hello" Max said as he picked up
Everyone felt awkward as they heard him talk
"That was Sidney she just asked me on a date" Max said nervously
"Go for it dude" Naruto said high fiving him and saw his phone fry "here Berto can you fix our phones" he said as they all hated when that happened
"Sure, we really gotta look into that whole turbo energy affecting electronics thing" Berto said as he looked at his robots
"Thanks now Max no just no no damn suits" Naruto said as he saw Steel to show him a catalog
"That's what I told him" Max said pointing at Steel
"Yeah it's your first date" Naruto said to him
'He knows how to date but not when a girl is into him' the turbo energy women thought feeling happy and angry at the same time at that
"Want a wing man?" Naruto said then realized something "not the one attached to your chest" he said looking at Steel
"Don't you need a date?" Max said immediately pushed aside by the three women Naruto lived with
"This'll be messy" Berto said as the women began to fight
"Thank God I don't have women troubles" Jefferson said finishing off his sandwich getting a dry look from Kat as she was interested in him for a while but it passed
(Naruto's place)
"I should go" Mei, Shizuka, and Samui said firmly
"Why don't we all just go?" Naruto asked curiously
The girls deflated a little but decided they'd take what they could get
'Yo you guys online' Steel asked as all the Ultralinks linked up to the same frequency and they could all talk and had private channels set up with one another
'We're here' everyone thought
'Hey Max remember don't talk think' Naruto said as Max talked when Steel talked to him mentally
'Got it' Max said mentally as he didn't want to seem creepy or awkward in public
(30 minutes later)
'Steel if you are gonna talk to Max make it private' X said as Steel was on the open line
'My bad' Steel said 'How's your guy's date going?' he said switching to the Ultralink channel
'Better than how they thought it was gonna go with him taking all three of them' X said as he thought there would be more violence between the three women wanting Naruto
'Well I for one am getting bored' Steel said as this was boring
'Don't go looking for trouble, it may just come to you' X said as he knew from experience as his host had a lot of trouble come his way
"This night is going so perfect" Mei said dreamingly
"Well if you all ever wanna go on another date, just ask" Naruto said to them
'I'm gonna abuse that' the women thought as Naruto was dense and knowing they could ask him out was a huge plus
"What the hell?" Naruto said as he looked at his water seeing it shift and felt a shake from the ground 'please tell me that was normal' he asked X
'No way too isolated' X said as something was happening underground
Next thing they heard people running and screaming in the streets as a trail of fire and a trail of cracked pavement was heading for the building
Naruto sent the girls a look and everyone split 'girls you take care of civilians while me and Max take care of this' he thought as they all agreed
"Naruto c'mon" Max said as he got in his Uncle's car
Naruto got in as Forge put the metal to the pedal and the fire and earth elementors chased them
"Who's this?" Forge asked Max
"Not important where's Steel?" Naruto asked him as he would've gone turbo already
"I kinda put him in the bathroom" Max said laughing nervously
"Dude I might just kill you" Naruto said to him
"Try it and you deal with me" Max's mom Molly said
'Mom's always scary' Naruto thought as he remembered when Shikamaru complained about his
'I totally understand Max' X said as Steel was like an annoying younger brother
'Hey' Steel said feeling offended as he tried to catch up to them
"Want me to toss you?" Naruto asked him
"Do it" Max said
"Maxwell McGrath don't you dare" Molly said to him in a motherly tone
"Too late" Max said as Naruto tossed him
"Oh fuck it Forge you suck" Naruto said as Max linked with Steel
"Go Turbo Flight" they said as they flew off making a U turn before changing to strength mode and standing in front of Earth Elementor
"Our old friend is back dude" Naruto said to him as Fire Elementor showed up
"Oh great, which one do you want?" Max asked as they stood back to back between the Elementors
"Dibs on fire give me your hand" Naruto said as he swung Max at Earth to do more damage
"Round 2, abomination. I will remove the stench of your treachery here and now!" Fire said as he charged
'Treachery?' Naruto and X thought in confusion
Fire roared as he lunged at them but Naruto rolled onto his back and kicked Fire off making the elementor fall onto his back
Naruto shook his feet feeling the burn
"Hand to hand don't really goes well with this guy, remember" X said as Fire's heated body makes it challenging to go physical on him without getting burned
"Then maybe we switch to ranged attacks" Naruto said as X ejected from his chest and made a demon wind shuriken out of his body
'This is gonna suck' X thought as with Naruto's strength in strength mode was insane
Naruto threw him at Fire making an explosion of golden turbo energy and causing Fire's well fire to go out
Fire began gasping for air as he backed up… towards Steel
Steel screamed as Fire fell onto him
"I gotcha bud" X said as Naruto picked up Fire allowing him to pick up Steel
Earth Elementor then slammed his fist on the ground causing Naruto to sink into the road until his head was all that was shown as he was holding an unconscious Max before picking up Fire and tunneled away
'I swear this wasn't funny when Kakashi did it' Naruto thought as this situation reminded him of when Kakashi would use his headhunter jutsu
"He took Max" Steel said tiredly before he passed out
"You need to learn to lock him in turbo modes dude" Naruto said as he freed himself
"How's about less criticism and more trying to figure out where granite breath went to" Steel said still feisty after being beat
(few hours later)
"What do you mean he's on a time limit?" Naruto asked Forge as they were in a tank outside of THI
"Max only has 8 hours before he goes critical and Steel has 8 hours before he deactivates… permanently" Forge said to him
'Well that sucks' everyone linked there thought as that sounded terrible
"Actually Maxwell isn't in any danger of going critical" Steel said
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked
"I'm reading Max's turbo energy levels and they're quite low, unfortunately so are mine" Steel said
"He's being drained Steel be careful" Naruto said as Max being low on energy after the fight they had didn't make sense
Steel screamed making them flinch "Sorry it's just that this access duct is also some kind of sewage line" he said
"My bad los siento" Berto said to him
"Why am I here alone again" Steel asked him
"A he's your partner and B-Z we're back up if shit hits the fan" X said to him
"I think that's what I'm covered in" Steel said in disgust wondering if he could vomit
(Few minutes later)
"Steel what's happening?" Forge asked him
"I've linked with Max but there's a scary guy in red and black attacking us!" Steel said over the comms
A few moments later they looked up to hear screaming as they saw Max falling down to them
Naruto went into Flight mode and caught him
"I don't wanna go to school" Max said sounding like he was barely conscious
"We're not dude it's like 3 in the morning we're skipping" Naruto said as he chuckled
"He has Steel" Max said as he saw his mom and uncle come to him
"Who does?" Molly asked him wondering if Max gathered any info
"Dredd, Miles Dredd" Max said to them
"That's impossible, Dredd died 16 years ago, I was there" Forge said with certainty
"He knew all about N-Tek, about you, about turbo energy and… he said he was behind what happened to dad" Max said looking at his mother who looked away sadly
"Uh guys" Naruto said seeing something that need all their attention
"Now what" Forge said looking at Naruto who pointed up
They looked up to see the top of THI tower opening up and some machine came out
"Forget with being subtle, Kat scramble the troops" Forge said ordering commands
The machine on top of the tower began glowing red before sending out tendrils of energy into the city
"It's taking energy" Samui said to them "why isn't taking us" she said referring to the more turbo powered people
"Because our tech is N-Tek issue the ultra link powered device seems to only affect people using THI devices, that's what attracting the tendrils, Dredd must've been planning this for years" Berto said to her
"Thank God I didn't buy their crap" Naruto said as he was also glad Berto worked on some of their gear like phones and watches
"So Dredd's gonna squeeze the life out of every last person in Copper Canyon, just to get his next turbo energy fix" Forge said
"With Steel making it all possible" Berto said
"We gotta stop him but me and Naruto can't fly or we'll get hit by those beams" Samui said to them
"Then we go through the front door" Naruto said as that was the only option
Jets and tanks full of N-Tek agents began to come around the tower as they and Naruto and the others burst into the tower
They all fired or smashed the defense turrets that popped up
"This'll be fun" Shizuka said as Storm came out and combined with her sword and became a large purple sword
"Lets go!" Mei said making a mist that would melt the metals the robots had and not hurt people
"Cover us, me and Max are gonna go for Steel" Naruto said
"On it" Samui said neutrally "Go Turbo Flight" she said as she froze the doors and made it snow inside
Naruto and Max hopped on the robots and went through the doors
"If only you were here to see him Jim" Molly said as she watched her son charge with Naruto "Forge who is he" he asked him as she and him saw him transform
"Naruto Uzumaki and the weird thing is he's human but his cells act like a Takonian" Forge said as he 'acquired' Naruto's dna
'How's that possible' Molly thought as she knew people could let out a small trace of turbo energy but to the level and effectiveness of a Takonian seemed impossible
(with Naruto)
"Can I get you two anything maybe you'd like to use the executive washroom" Naught said to them facetiously
"Does everyone that works here have a screw loose or something?" Max asked Naruto and Naught
"Oh no, I assure you I'm of sound and body like you, better even" Naught said as he began transforming into a mostly machine cyborg person "We don't call it Trans Human Industries for nothing" he said as he jumped over to them
"You wanna?" Naruto asked him
Naught threw a punch at Max who stopped it before noticing his arm was beginning to fritz "Oh no" he said before a small explosion sent him falling down a elevator
"Oops" Max said with a shrug before he and Naruto kept going up to the lab and soon saw Steel
"Honey is that you?" Steel asked
"I don't swing that way little man" X said to him chuckling a little
"Guys" Steel said coming to his senses
"Good to see you too but can you be quiet so we can-" Max was saying not seeing someone walk up behind them
"Behind you!" Steel said as they turned and saw a very bulked up Miles Dredd
"Hello again, my friend and I see you brought me another ultralink and playmate, how kind of you" Dredd said as he looked at Naruto and X
'Shit' Naruto thought as he was pissed he didn't feel Dredd approach
"Let's have a little snack" Dredd said as he feasted on them absorbing from both of them
Naruto and X groaned as Naruto dropped to a knee
"Whoa, and I thought the boy's energy was delicious, golden turbo energy, never have I seen such a thing" Dredd said happily
"Doesn't feel too good getting a taste of our own medicine" X said as Naruto got up and glared at him
Dredd charged and backhanded Naruto against the wall giving Max a moment to grab Steel
Max blasted Dredd who only chuckled
"That was stupid" Steel said to him
"I can take your turbo energy, that's my whole thing! Haven't you morons been paying attention" Dredd said to them
"Go Turbo Strength!" Max and Naruto said as they changed modes
"Let's dance" Naruto said as he taunted Dredd
"Shame I only know the 2 steps. Step 1" Dredd said as he slammed his fists into their guts making them drop to the ground "Step 2" he said as he tossed them onto their backs
"Ok how about you see my moves" Naruto said as he grabbed Dredd and absorbed some of his Turbo energy
X hacked as his readings went all over the place
"Negative turbo energy doesn't taste too good does it" Dredd said chuckling
"You dick you filter it through your device" Naruto said as he could absorb turbo energy but it in turn became negative when it entered him
"Well duh, haven't you been paying attention" Dredd said as he absorbed more from Naruto
"Max take a shot" Naruto said to him
"Why don't I?" Dredd asked before he blasted the two through the roof sending them down to the streets below
Dredd chuckled evilly as he got on the roof before feeling something hit his back as he turned to see Molly and Forge firing at him while he didn't feel a thing "The good soldier and the merry widow, I'd love to stay and chat but I have things to do" he said as he jumped down towards Max and Naruto
"Dude we gotta fry this ass" Naruto said to Max
"Gotcha" Max said catching on to what he was saying
The two charged at him in flight mode but he did a backflip before grabbing them by their wings before tossing them through a van
"Damn, this guy is good" Naruto said shaking the rubble off of himself
"That's it." Max said as he charged at Dredd before going full power with his thruster and began taking the villain towards space
"Haven't you two idiots learned I can take all that you can give" Dredd said sounding like he was in bliss
"Then we'll just have to make more" Max said "Steel turn off the turbo dampener" he said
"Max!" Naruto said as he watched him take Dredd up and up while pouring turbo energy into the guy 'let's go back him up X' he said to X mentally as they flew up
"They're shining like a star! Turbo energy everywhere!" X said to him
"Max" Naruto said making it to him
"Too… much!" Dredd screamed as they began flooding him with turbo energy
"Oh and Dredd" Max said making the villain look at him "Jim McGrath sends his regards" he said as they glowed then blew up
Everyone looked up in tense anxiety as they waited for them to come down
"I got ya" Naruto said as Max was a little disoriented from the blast and they landed on the street
"Maelstrom X who is this is he a new member to your team" a reporter said
"Yes, and his name is Max Steel and he's a part of Team Turbo" Naruto said as the other girls showed up "we gotta go" he said as they all left
"Go Turbo Speed" Shizuka said as she ran as she and Storm looked for a mode so they could keep up with the others and she had enhanced wind powers with this mode
Mei just made a manhole cover rise and rode it as she could control the earthly elements in it as she had geokinesis in any of her forms as due to her chakra/turbo nature she could use the same powers as Earth and Fire combined but not so much with her mist but she can still use her water style and acid mist
(The next day)
"How's it feel being the boss" Naruto asked Molly as she was giving them all a tour
"Not bad, though I have my work cut out for me cleaning up their messes" Molly said as she had a literal mess with one scientist "so how are you so good with Turbo energy" she asked as the group was scattered as they were looking at different things
"Lot's of practice and training" Naruto said wondering why she and Forge kept on digging
"Sorry if we're seeming like we're trying to pry into your life it's just that we've never seen you before and I'm just being a worried mother" Molly said as she saw him and Max hang out often and saw he had a control like no other with Turbo energy
"It's fine and I'm sorry if I seem to be giving Forge the cold shoulder it's just that when someone keeps so many secrets from others needing answers I find them a little hard to trust" Naruto said as it strained the trust he had in others when people lied to him
Molly couldn't refute or defend that as she felt inner turmoil as she was doing the same thing as Forge and felt guilty "Forge may keep secrets but you can trust him as I trust him with mine and Max's lives" she said
"That I can understand, it'll be awkward but I'll try" Naruto said as he didn't like to openly trust someone who lied despite whatever reasons
"Just give him a chance, whatever secrets he knows it's just to keep everyone safe. Haven't you ever known someone like that?" Molly asked
"Many that's why I'm working with N-Tek in the first place" Naruto said as Forge came to him and offered him and the others a job to train Max which he told Max about immediately
"All I have to say is if you didn't trust him then you wouldn't have joined with N-Tek." Molly said
'Or I joined to keep a closer eye on them' Naruto said as he wasn't technically an N-TEK employee as he worked under Forge directly
"Look I know you don't trust people who have secrets but you need to trust someone because it can be very lonely when all you do is just depend on yourself to get by" Molly said speaking from experience
'Like all the secrets you keep from Max' Naruto thought as this woman had to have more secrets than working for N-TEK and he felt it went back to Max's dad
"I know it hurts to keep secrets from loved ones, but you just gotta, because you never know how they'll handle it." Molly said as she could read the look Naruto had in his eyes
Soon and alarm went off and the gates went down
"Oh crud" Molly said as she knew what that was
"I don't like this smoke" Naruto said as they all backed away from it 'guys mask up' he thought as the ultralinks kept camouflage on despite their masks coming on
'We need to get Kirby and Sidney out' Max said to them as the people were basically turning into zombies
'We can't let this spread someone scratched someone and they turned we're dealing with zombie rules' Samui said as she watched a lot of tv
'We gotta find out where's it coming from' Naruto said to them
'It's being pumped through the vents so anywhere from the roof to the basement' Mei said as the gas was similar to her mist as they were both forms of gasses so she knew how it worked
'Shizuka Samui go to the roof while me and Max go down below' Naruto said as Mei stayed down with them
'Hey didn't mom just fire some crazy guy, think it could be him?' Max asked them as they remember some crazy guy do the basic 'you can't do this to me' speech
'Knowing our luck, yes' Naruto said as most scientists were a little crazy
'Just get the antidote I can't keep fighting these zombies like this they're piling up' Mei said as she hated a person turned these people into these things and that she was forced to hold back
(Few minutes later)
"Yo" Naruto said as he saw a scrawny man pressing buttons and sending gas up 'Samui Shizuka down here' he thought then telling Shizuka to stay back as lightning and unknown gasses didn't sound very safe
'Guys I gotta go these things got the others' Mei said as the need to hide was unnecessary
"Dude we're all that's left" Naruto said to Max as the man was ranting about his shitty science career
"Incoming!" X and Steel said as the guy began throwing vials at them
"Ok enough of this Steel X zap this guy" Naruto said to them glad they did as he asked as the scientist was on the floor mumbling about fishy
The man shook his head as he then looked over to see an orange plastic fish falling into a vat of chemicals "No, Fishy!" he said as he scrambled for his helmet and jumped in before putting it on
"Oh gross" Naruto said as the water below them was composed of many toxins and actual sewage
"Poor Tytus Octavious Xander, oh well, now to make a cure" X said as he turned around just as the green liquid from below shot up
"You hurt fishy" Xander said as he put angry emphasis on each word
"Please tell me he's joking" X asked as this was lunacy getting angry over a piece of plastic
"Look at what you've done to me I'm soiled" Xander said to them looking at his state as he was larger than before with a flaming mohawk of green flames behind his head and it was like he wasn't human anymore but just a large man armored like being of pure toxicity.
"Karma if you as me pal" Naruto said as the man got what he deserved after all the illegal work he's been doing and what he done today
Xander roared as he launched green sludge at them sending them flying against the wall and unleashed glowing toxic flame like claws from his hands
"Why do the bad guys always get the awesome shit?" X asked curiously
"We have some cool stuff in my opinion you can become weapons dude" Naruto said as X was able to make weapons around his body
"Yeah but so far nothing to match that, we can't risk taking many hits from that guy because his radiation levels are through the roof. He's like a walking Chernobyl" X said as he was getting to many readings
"I'm filthy… TOXIC!" Xander shouted
"Well nice to meet you, Toxzon" Max said mishearing him but Xander did seem to consider it for a moment
The newly named Toxzon roared as he charged at them slamming his fist down making them roll to dodge causing his hand to go right through the floor before pulling it out
"Geez" Naruto said wondering what was in the toxic pool below that made him so strong
"Naruto, we can't drag this on, I've done the math and the longer those people are left in their zombie like state the more likely chance it'll be permanent" X said to him
"Ok time to speed this up Max" Naruto said as they went into their Turbo Strength mode
Toxzon charged at them before they ducked under his punch to land a uppercut into his gut sending him into the air
"Slam Dunk!" X and Steel said as Naruto and Max jumped and slammed a double axe handle right at Toxzon sending him down onto the floor with a slam and knocking him out
Naruto and Max watched as Steel and X tried making an antigen and soon found out they were missing a key component
"Where would stinky face keep it?" Steel asked before everyone looked at Fishy
"Fishy?" they all said and when they approached him the fish's head came off like a flashdrive revealing the missing catalyst
They immediately tossed it into the cure wasting no time seeing the liquid turn blue
"Let's launch this thing" Naruto said as he was sure the girls were tired of the zombies
They all pressed a button and a blue gas began to go throughout the building curing everyone
'About time' the girls and their ultralinks said sounding tired
"Now to deal with- oh come on" Naruto said as they turned around and saw Toxzon was gone along with Fishy
"A problem for another day" X said as he was tired after today's events
(3 weeks later)
"You ok down there?" Naruto asked as Max was under a car robbers were using
"Yep" Max said to him a little embarrassed and sore
The two turned seeing the cops arrive
"And here's your stop" Max said as he put the car down
"Let's go" Naruto said to them as they were drawing in a crowd
"Go Turbo: Flight!" Naruto and Max said
"See you next time citizens" Max said as he flew away with Naruto
"You two are hotdogs" Shizuka said to them as she just watched from the sidelines
"Hey any publicity is good publicity" Naruto said as doing good and helping people was always the right thing
"Just try not to attract the wrong kind" Mei said as powerful people drew in all kinds of attention
(next day)
"Dude you need to work on lying" Naruto said as Max's excuses were pitiful
"Not everyone came from a world where they lied for a living" Max said as the others filled him in on their origins and he believed them as their crazy lives made it believable plus it made him feel a little better knowing a secret as he felt
Samui was running a bit behind as she had something else to do and was a little behind the others and when she made it to the door she saw Naught 'oh no' she thought needing to get to the others quickly
(earlier at ?)
'... We sure are glad he is here with our heroes' the news man said
"Yes, here and here and here, Max Steel and the Turbo team sure do get around" Naught said as he made a map of locations they appeared "Chart them together and you have one recurring point of origin, Copper Canyon High School" he said as a hologram of said school appeared
'My enemies are children' Dredd thought in a healing chamber pod receiving upgrades not wanting the same weaknesses as before in the next fight as he still wanted to feast upon them all
