Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or X-Men: Evolution.

A/N: OK sorry for the late update. Combination of being busy and... It's getting harder to sit down and write on this story. I think it's a combination that this story will end soon and I like the first 2 seasons over the last 2.

I just think the no one knows of mutants and them hiding their powers (More so then if they were known.) was more interesting.. Speaking of this being close to finishing, after the next update for this. (I'll be doing a triple to finish this season out.)

I'll be focusing on this story only. What I mean is I'll just work on this story only for season 4 until it's done. AFTER a update on my other stories to let everyone know I'll be focusing on one story for a couple of weeks.

ALSO, I put a poll for Naruto on Board about adding Viola, Olive, and/or Rebecca to the harem as I've been asked to do so, and reviews say to add at least one of them. so vote if you want one, two, all three, or none to join.

Chapter XXVIII: Under Lock And Key.

Last Time.

Xavier's School For The Gifted, Med Bay The Next Day.

Kage sat beside Rogue who was on a bed before hearing Scott talk to Charles outside the room. "He hasn't left her side all night, but taking on all those personalities has left her fragile. Her toughest trial still awaits her." Naruto sighed as he grabbed Rogue's hand. He saw her hand close around his before looking up to she her smile with tears in her eyes.

He wiped them away before kissing her and sat back down.

Outside.

"What does your vision tell you now, Destiny? Is Rogue back in the future?" Mystique asked as their limo stopped in front of the gate. "She is... but now a great darkness looms in the horizon." Destiny replied with a nod. "And it's shrouding you both." Mystique gained a serious look before speaking.

"What can you tell me about the darkness?" Destiny sighed before speaking. "An ancient mutant will rise to once again walk the Earth. Your faiths, both yours and Rogue's, are in his hands..." She said taking off her glasses and showed her scared grey eyes.

Now.

New York, One A.M. Worthington Estate.

Gambit stood at a window before making a smiley face on it. It dissolved before he knelt and picked a spray can out. He sprayed the air revealing lasers near the floor before taking out his collapsed staff. He placed another one onto it before putting a smaller staff one on each end with hooks on them.

He jumped on a dresser and had the hooks shoot to the walls in front of, and behind him. He held on to his staff and wrapped his legs around it as well before hitting a button. He pulled himself to the far wall before leaning down and dissolved the floor.

He fell to the bottom room and saw a part of a spider statue and a small table before picking it up. "See something you like?" Gambit turned to see Warren wearing only red pajama pants before throwing an energized card at his feet.

Boom!

The card exploded, allowing Gambit to dash outside and see a cloaked person waiting before giving him the statue. Warren flew towards them, only to stop as his mind was suddenly attacked and fell to the ground. Suddenly, the metal fence bent and flew up before creating a cage around the man who looked up, revealing Mesmero.

"Whoever you are, you've got courage." Magneato said as he floated down to the ground. "Not everyone would hypnotize one of my own to do their stealing for them." Mesmero tried to attack Magneto's mind, only for him to calmly walk over. "Don't bother, your psychic blasts won't work on me."

"Now release him." Magneto said, bending the poles to tangle and choke Mesmero. Gambit shook his head before Magneto grabbed the statue and floated up, bringing Mesmero with him.

Xavier's School For The Gifted 7 A.M.

A nude and sweaty Rachel fell onto Naruto and panted before kissing his chest. Naruto ran his fingers through her hair before she moved to rest her head under his chin. She traced a circle on his right bicep before speaking. "You know, I never thought I'd be this happy." Naruto looked down at her before speaking.

"Why is that?" He asked getting her to stop and sigh. "Look, Jean's not the first person I've... bonded with. In the beginning, I was just a force of energy that would attach to strong telepaths and unleash my power once theirs matured. I started to become sentience around the First Century, when I started to bond with them and..."

"I loved watching the destruction my powered caused once released. It was intoxicating, the fear and awe of the bystanders. The sight of everything around me burning. At the time, it was a cycle of thrills for me. Then around the early 1900's, I started to get bored of that."

"Eventually, I bonded with Jean, figuring that it would happen again, and then you came into her life. Once I saw you, I knew I found a kindred spirit, my love."

(Flashback.)

Xavier's School For The Gifted, Eleven Years Ago.

Logan, wearing Jeans, boots and a black shirt looked at the backyard after helping Charles, and Ororo get Jean's and Scott's room ready before hearing a scream. "AAAHHH!" A portal opened up several feet above the woods, and he saw a boy with blonde hair fall out and in the trees before hitting the ground.

Logan dashed to where the boy fell and saw he looked to be almost ten with whisker marks on his cheeks. "Hey kid you alright?" Logan asked as the boy got up. "Anatahadare? Sasuke wa doko ni arimasu ka? Doko Sakura-chan de, Kakashi-sensei? (Who are you? Where's Sasuke? Where are Sakura-chan, and teacher Kakashi?)"

He asked in Japanese before Logan knelt and put a hand on his shoulders.

(A/N: Using Google Translate, if that's not right let me know/tell me of a better translater I can use.)

"Watashi wa Logan. Watashi wa anata no yūjin ga doko ni iru ka wakarimasen. Soshite, anata ga jōriku shimashita New York City. (I'm Logan. I don't know where your friends are. And you've landed in New York City." Logan replied back in Japanese as the boy looked confused. "Watashi wa sono mura no koto o kiita koto ga arimasen. (I've never heard of that village before.)

"Kokuren de sore ga doko ni aru no? (Where in the nations is that?)" The boy asked before Charles wheeled over.

Later, after Logan helped Naruto explain about his home, Charles looked down and spoke up. "I can help you learn of this new World Naruto, if you'll let me." Naruto shrugged as a ten year old Scott, and Jean walked into the study. Naruto looked at the red-haired girl and gave her a smile. And she, with a slight blush on her cheeks, smiled back at him.

No one noticed her eyes glow orange for a second as she walked over.

(Flashback End.)

"I thought I saw Jean's eyes change color that day. It seems so long ago. A couple of months later, I was able to summon a toad who told me not even a day went by for them since I went missing." (1.) Naruto said while watching Rachel get dressed in a pair of jean short shorts and a black tank top.

Naruto got up in boxers and put on blue jeans. As he reached for his shirt, he stopped just as a baseball went through his window and caught it just as it was about to hit his face. Walking to his balcony, he saw the other students, minus Rogue, playing baseball in the back yard.

"Sorry!" Bobby said with ice covering his bat before Naruto added chakra to his arm and threw the ball having it hit the fence behind home base. Naruto turned, only to stop as he saw Angel fly over before picking up a burnt orange shirt and jumped over to the X-Men.

Mt. Arrows, Magneto's Hideout.

Magneto, without his helmet, walked into a room where Mastermind was standing in front of Mesmero, who's tied to a chair. "Mastermind, what have you been able to find out?" He asked as Mastermind looked to him. "The Spider Stone. There's a second half. It resides in London's District Museum."

"Together, they form a key." Mastermind said holding the Spider Stone. "A key to what?" Erik asked having Mastermind sigh. "I don't know. His mental powers are formidable. I need more time." Erik leaned down to Mesmero as he gripped his shoulder. "Time's up." He said using his powers to spin the chair.

Mastermind grabbed Mesmero by the head and saw him in a cave using the staff and keys to open a door showing another with a spider on it. "The relic will help unleash the most powerful Mutant the World has ever seen; En Sabah Nur, you will know him as, Apocalypse."

Later, after they left, Mesmero disappeared with the statue having Erik growl. "We're going to London."

Xavier's School For The Gifted, Cerebro.

Naruto stood with Rachel, Scott, and Emma looking at a picture of Mesmero as Warren explained that he used Gambit to steal an artifact from his house before Magneto took him away. Beast typed on the computer showing the three keys he had Jean and the others steal before explaining that they were used as a key.

"Then there's a good chance that artifact is another key." Naruto said crossing his arms as Beast brought up the other half with 'London' under it. "The other half is in a London Museum."

Later, Med Bay.

A clone of Naruto leaned against the wall after hearing Kurt teleport into Rogue's room. "Time for dinner." Rogue groaned awake as she looked to Kurt. "Kurt!" She yelled as Kurt held a tray with enchiladas on it. "Spicy enchiladas with Kitty's special sauce on them."

"It's not enough my head hurts, you want me to toss my stomach too?" She asked laying back down. "Where's Naruto, or Logan?" Kurt sat beside her before speaking. "Logan is with Storm tracking our mother, and Naruto is on a mission to London. So Kitty and I are your caretakers."

Rogue sighed at that. "Go away!" Kurt put the tray on the nightstand before speaking. "Is that any way to talk to your little brother?" He grabbed a remote and had the mattress push up so Rogue was in a sitting position."We're not related." Kurt smirked at that. "Oh, that's just denial talking."

"Mystique may have given birth to you, but I'm adopted, remember?" Kurt shrugged as he stood. "Either way sis, we're in this together. I mean it Rogue, whatever you're going through, I'm here for you." He then teleported away with the notion of bringing back an anchovy pizza prepared by Kitty. Rogue sighed as a small smile crept onto her face.

Later; London England, X-Velocity.

Kage leaned back in the large helicopter with Jean, Phoenix, Emma, Cyclops, Beast, and Angel before standing as he saw London closing in. "Getting a drink." Naruto said over his shoulder before Charles spoke up. "Let our stowaway know we're here." Naruto walked in the storage area.

Naruto reached for a top cabinet and picked up a glass bottle of soda before opening the top. He reached down and opened the bottom cabinet to show Iceman eating chips. "Let's go, Bobby." Naruto said as Bobby sighed and stood. He took a couple of steps before Naruto stopped him by putting a hand on his shoulder.

Iceman looked to see Naruto hold the bottle up before taking it, blew on the top, frosting the entire bottle. "Thanks." Naruto said taking the bottle and walked to the front. "No problem."

Magneto, Museum.

Magneto and his Acolytes walked inside a museum after destroying the doors, "Fan out." he said while floating towards an elevator and went up several floors. He got out and saw Mesmero run around the corner before taking the elevator with him and chased Mesmero. They went into a room where Magneto captured Mesmero in the elevator just as he dropped the statue.

The statue floated up, and the other half flew to it having it glow brightly. A shockwave burst forth, sending Magneto crashing into the wall. The energy surrounding the stone began to take the form a giant green spider.

Outside, X-Velocity.

The X-Men landed on a parking garage before getting out and walked to the museum next to the building. Iceman covered himself in ice as they made it to the museum. "Should he really be here?" Emma asked holstering her batons. "We can use all the help we can get right now." Naruto said looking at the destroyed metal doors.

He pulled his collapsed bo-staff out, extended it, and spun it before resting it on his shoulder. Once inside, they split up, Naruto with Jean and Phoenix, Cyclops with Emma, Beast with Iceman, and Charles with Angel before Naruto saw Sabertooth on the floor below him before jumping down and hit him with his staff.

Sabertooth slid into Colossus before Pyro and Gambit ran out. "Well, we got us some X-Men." Gambit said holding two cards. Naruto cracked his neck as Jean and Phoenix floated down. "And we got us some insects to squash." Phoenix said before throwing fire at them.

As they fought, the others joined up to help fighting. The X-Men held the others off before a large green spider dashed through the room to the outside.

"Well shit, we're boned." Naruto said before Magento flew out. Acolytes, stop that spider!" They ran out as Charles wheeled up to them. "Erik, no! You don't know what-!" Charles stopped as Magneto flew past him, following after the spider. The X-Men ran out to Charles who spoke up.

"We need to protect that spider! It has answers we need!" The nodded before running after Magneato. Later, after trying to stop the spider, the X-Men and the Acolytes saw Magneto standing in front of the spider and touch it, having it disappear leaving only the statue left. "Erik, what have you done?"

Charles asked as Magneto panted. "I stopped the key." Charles shook his head at that. "No, it was to stop the second door from opening, Mesmero played you from the start. He wanted you to destroy it." Naruto looked back as they made a plan to find out where the spider was heading and to stop the third door from opening.

"I hope we can find it in time." He said looking at the sun rise.

To Be Continued.


A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.

Beta: Jebest4781 and Chaos-PSD.

1. Only thing I could think of for Naruto to go back if we can think of a way for it... Maybe as an Epilogue with him going over and I didn't want everyone to be 11 years older than Naruto and of course 'The Last'' is canon and I think it would go the way Toneri Ōtsutsuki destroying the World.

If you read this at the top, disregard it..

OK sorry for the late update. Combination of being busy and... It's getting harder to sit down and write on this story. I think it's a combination that this story will end soon and I like the first 2 seasons over the last 2.

I just think the no one knows of mutants and them hiding their powers (More so then if they were known.) was more interesting.. Speaking of this being close to finishing, after the next update for this. (I'll be doing a triple to finish this season out.)

Nothing else to say.

Talk To You Later,

Lone Wolf Out.
