Kim Possible won the poll, it'll stay up until the day after Shinobi's next update to let any who read only one story know what won, then the Shinobi poll will be up for a rotation.
The Shinobi poll will be if Naruto should get a devil fruit. Choices will be yes. or No Jutsu is enough plus no time to train.
If you or someone you know is still looking for a PS5, I just found one in Walmart IN THE STORE, and then when getting Gotham Knights to scratch that DC itch until Suicide Squad comes out at GameStop (Due to everywhere else day 1 stuff is a nightmare to get if you don't get there at 7-9 AM as no one works where the game section is at) they told me they also had some in stock. So some are getting in stores now.
Beta: Chaos-PSD, and ANUBIS the god king.
Chapter LXIV: The Inhuman Condition.
Last Time.
"However, this does give our young friend the singular opportunity to be an ambassador between our two worlds. A son of Attilan, raised as a human, would have much to teach us all if we are willing to learn." Thor spoke before Black Bolt walked to Dante, hand raised for a shake.
"Well… As long as I can come home for long weekends, then sure." Dante shook his hand before Thor walked over to shake Black Bolt's hand.
"Inhumans raised as humans living amongst us. It's all too much for me. But if Black Bolt agrees, then so say we all." Gorgon said having the others mirror the statement.
"A thank you, Son of Asgard, from one regent… I mean, from one friend to another." Medusa said to Thor as Lockjaw barked.
Later, Attilan.
"Releasing the Terrigen by itself would have aroused suspicion. But by staging a crash with contaminated Terrigen, the Royal Family accepted the birth of a new Inhuman as only a happy coincidence." Seeker said to a person wearing a hooded cloak, eyes glowing red.
"Experiments in creating new Inhumans do not interest me."
"But, master, my experiment was a success. Now I can recreate it on a much larger scale, and I can build you the device you crave."
"Then continue with your plans, Seeker. Black Bolt's days are numbered. He will fall." The man said before looking up revealing he's Ultron. "Then so will the Avengers."
Now.
Avenger Tower.
In the training room, classical music played as Black Widow danced around holding her shock batons. She turns to throw one at a training bot before running over. She grabbed her weapon while flipping over the robot then kicked another bot while stabbing a third. She attacked several more before hearing Shinobi Yell. "Nat!" He walked in without asking before groaning. "How the hell do you stand this noise?"
"Says the guy who thinks Country is music."
"The shit you think is country is just some washed-up pop singer singing pop music in a Southern accent. The older stuff is better."
"You just want to stay on Rogue's good side."
Naruto ignored his lover's quip before speaking. "Came to tell you Iron Man wants us for a meeting."
"My workout was done anyway." She said before they walked outside, him putting his hand on her ass.
They walked to the meeting room where Thor was explaining to the others about the Terrigen Mist. "Inhumans. Secretive superhuman people. Keepers of the Terrigen Mist."
"Terrigen Mist has no effect on humans. And yet somehow it turned a human kid into, 'Inferno'." Cap said arms crossed as Falcon looked over.
"Maybe the kid wasn't human? What if Inferno was really an Inhuman and didn't know it?"
"If Inferno was Inhuman, how'd he wind up in upstate New York?" Iron Man asked, looking at the holo-screen of the fight. "It doesn't make any sense."
"Well, the Inhumans have a ship… Maybe a parent got their child out?" Naruto asked as he leaned on the table. "Or an Inhuman escaped and met someone."
"Living a normal human existence, then in a random moment, it's taken away from you forever. Changed into something else." Widow explained as Hulk snorted.
"Welcome to my world."
"You know what else is weird? We make all friends with Black Bolt and the Inhumans but since Inferno went to live with them, we haven't heard a thing." Hawkeye said before Lockjaw appeared on the table. "And right on cue."
Lockjaw barked before laying down on the table. "Lockjaw? What happened?" Hulk asked, grabbing onto the dog. Only for Lockjaw to glow. "Uh-oh."
Attilan.
The group appeared on the streets of Attilan as Naruto looked around. "Oh. Since I can't ask the dog, does anybody know where he teleported us to?" Hawkeye asked, having Thor nod.
"Aye, Hawkeye. This appears to be the Inhuman homeland. Attilan." He said as Lockjaw growled before they saw robotic spiders walk down the building in front of them.
"Uh, hey, guys. The welcoming committee is here." Falcon said, bringing two flechettes from his arms. "And they don't look happy to see us." They all then start to attack the robots at that.
"So, this is what Attilan is like. It's not what I pictured. It's still nice though. Other than the killer robots." Hawkeye spoke as he fired an arrow.
"Avengers hit 'em up the middle!"
They continued attacking as the robots repaired themselves as more came to them.
"Huh? Is this really Inhuman tech? The design looks familiar." Iron Man asked as he scanned one of the bots.
"Who cares? Just keep smashing!"
"There are too many of them!" Widow yelled out using her stingers.
"We're gonna be overrun!"
"Captain America."
They turned to see Black Bolt Seeker behind them as Black Bolt destroyed a good portion of the robots. "His Royal Highness Black Bolt beckons you, Avengers, to retreat into the palace."
"You heard The Seeker. Fall back!"
They all then ran back to the palace as the door closed just in time before Naruto looked at Black Bolt. "OK, Black Bolt, tell us what's happening here… Without actually telling us what's happening here."
The Seeker then walked over to speak. "These robots, since taking over Attilan, they've hunted and captured Inhumans. Including the new citizen Inferno and nearly all of the royal family. Thus, Black Bolt sent Lockjaw for you. No one else is left to defend Attilan from the robots and their ruthless leader."
Crack!
Just then, Ultron bursts through the wall and hovers above. "Ultron!"
"The Avengers. Your presence here is unexpected. And ultimately insignificant." Ultron spoke as Iron Man raised his hands. "Ultron is back in one piece. Let's remedy that."
They all shot at him as several spider bots deflected them with their own. "Bravado in the face of certain annihilation. The Inhumans felt the same way. Before I conquered them." Hulk then pulled a piece of the floor up to attack only for Ultron to destroy it. "Such chaos and disorder. "Is there any question why you must be eliminated-!"
Ultron stopped as Falcon and Iron Man attacked him from above before firing a red laser from his mouth.
"Whoa! It feels like this every time we tangle with Ultron, but he's even more kick-butt than the last time." Falcon said before all but Thor who was at the ceiling disappeared via Lockjaw's ability.
They appeared in another room. "Just when the fight was getting good." Hulk snorted as they looked at the room.
"Hulk, you think all fights are good."
"What the hell is this place?" Naruto asked before the Seeker looked over.
"A secret lab built in the ancient catacombs beneath Attilan. It has served as a safe base of operations in our struggles against Ultron and his robots."
"Ultron doesn't do anything without a reason. So, what is it he wants with the Inhumans?" Iron Man asked as his face plate came up.
"Where's he going?"
Naruto turned to Widow to see Seeker walking to the back of the room as the others talked. They then follow to see him looking at a holo-screen. Nice setup you have here."
"Ultron seizing Attilan has slowed my research, but I have still managed a breakthrough. My experiments have revealed conclusively that Inferno was actually a latent Inhuman."
"And he didn't know? How is that possible?" Widow asked as Seeker brought up different screens.
"Humans and Inhumans must have lived together in the past. Their descendants possess Inhuman DNA. Descendants like Inferno. Who knows how many of my kind are living among humans and don't even know that they're one of us. Imagine if the Terrigen accident that created Inferno had been bigger…" Seeker trailed off as he picked up a large crystal.
"That is one big crystal of Terrigen Mist."
"This is only a prototype but a device like this could awaken a new generation of Inhumans with unimaginable powers."
"You can't just expose people to the Mist," Widow spoke up. "What if they don't want powers? You'd be making the decision for them."
"Yeah, but then again, we don't always get to choose our destiny," Naruto spoke before he and Widow were shot to the wall via red gel
"Seeker! What are you doing?"
"Exactly…" Ultron walked out of the shadow and stood beside Seeker.
"This is only a small-scale version of my Terrigen dispersal device." Seeker said, handing Ultron a device with the crystal in it.
"Terrigen dispersal?"
"You want to help The Seeker find more Inhumans?" Naruto asked, looking at the robot.
"I care nothing for Inhumans. But I needed this device for my own purposes. Tricking The Seeker into designing it for me."
"What?"
"And betraying his own people was most simple." Ultron finished taking the crystal out and tossing it aside.
"But we had a deal! And without the crystal, the device will only-!"
Ultron shot Seeker, having him disappear. "Disappointing. The prototype merely phase-shifted The Seeker away. I'll have to increase its power. After I get rid of you.
A clone of Naruto then dropped down with a Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere and hit the wall, having Widow and the real Naruto fall back. "Huh. You're only delaying the inevitable."
The two looked to see a large bot grab Black Bolt and flee as Ultron flew in. "Ultron's got some new toys," Hawkeye said as he dropped down, drawing an arrow. "And lucky us, we get to break 'em."
They then continued to attack the bots as Lockjaw ran at Ultron and appeared behind him, bit his leg and shook him. "Bad dog." Ultron raised his hand to fire only for Lockjaw to disappear and appear above while Ultron hit his own foot.
Lockjaw then dropped down onto Ultron who shocked him before tossing the dog aside. "Lockjaw! Ultron, when I'm done with you, you're gonna need a mechanic!" Hulk yelled out as he was attacked by several spider bots.
"It is more efficient to destroy you with the rest of your pathetic species," Ultron spoke as he got up and tossed a bomb at Hulk's feet as he had a bot take Lockjaw away before turning to Black Bolt. "Your actions serve no purpose. I have your family and I have your city. And soon, I will have you." Black Bolt shot a beam at the robot having it do nothing. "Temper, temper."
He flew off having Black Bolt follow. "Black Bolt, wait! Falcon, Hawkeye, with me." Cap said as Naruto slid over to the bomb and sealed it in a scroll before hearing Cap over the comms. "Avengers, the comlink signal is weak but if you can hear me, use this transmission to trace my location and meet up with us. We're after Ultron. It looks like he's trying to escape out the bottom of Attilan."
"Bottom of Attilan? Seeker mentioned old tunnels. We can use them to make our way down." Widow spoke as they ran down the hall.
And stopped as the hall shook. They ran to meet up with the others to see Inferno and the Royal Family in spheres knocked out. They then started freeing them before Cap looked at Iron Man. "Tony, take Shinobi and Widow. Find Ultron and Black Bolt. The rest of us will get the Inhumans out then catch up."
"Inferno." Widow said as she stood by Inferno after freeing him. "You never should have been here. You should be home with your family." They then walked down the hall. "He never got a choice. He didn't ask to become Inferno. You didn't ask to become a Jinchūriki, I didn't ask to become the Black Widow."
"As I said, people don't always get to choose."
"But they should. No little kid should have been forced to be a KGB sleeper agent. And no little kid should be forced to be changed into an Inhuman."
"Terrigen, Chakra, or Gamma, ballerina or superhero. It doesn't matter. It's all on the outside. Doesn't change who you are on the inside." Naruto said as they continued.
They then dropped down onto a platform where Ultron had Black Bolt upside down in a device. "It's the Seeker's weapon. Only Ultron's built one bigger."
"Ultron, let Black Bolt go. It's us you want." Iron Man said as he stood.
"Don't flatter yourselves. I want to use Attilan as my base to completely wipe humanity off the face of the earth. And to use Black Bolt to power the weapon to do it." Ultron said turning the device on and having electricity cover Black Bolt. "If the pain gets too much, feel free to speak up, Your Highness. In fact, I'm counting on it.
They started to fight spider bots as the others joined in. "Uh, little help?" Iron Man said as Hawkeye dropped down.
"Iron Man asking for help? I'm gonna remember this day."
"Hold, Black Bolt! I will free you." Thor flew over only to get hit by Ultron.
"You will do no such thing."
"That weapon's gonna amplify his scream straight down into the Earth." Iron Man explained as the power got larger.
"No one could survive a blast of that magnitude."
"We have to get Black Bolt out of that thing before it fries him." Widow said before running to the controls and had Falcon fly over.
"Stop! Ultron's designed this with some kind of pain feedback loop. The more we mess with it the more it zaps Black Bolt."
"It's over, Avengers. The weapon cannot be stopped from firing." Ultron said before being tackled by Thor.
"He's right." Widow said before running. "Shinobi with me!" They ran over to the hole and back to the lab. "It has to be around here somewhere." She said before seeing the crystal.
They ran back out and up to the device where she held the crystal at the reactor. "What are you gonna do with that Terrigen crystal?"
"Ultron was right. We can't stop the weapon from firing but neither can he."
"So, you're changing Ultron's death ray?"
"Back into a Terrigen dispersal device. For most of Earth, it'll be harmless."
"And for the people with any Inhuman DNA are gonna suddenly get powers. What about what you said? About destiny and choice?"
"Ultron means to destroy everyone on Earth. We're not giving people a choice, but we're giving them a chance." She said before pushing the crystal in.
Suddenly a large red beam shot down just as Thor pushed Ultron in its way destroying him.
Suddenly a mist covered the Earth for several minutes before dissipating as Attilan fell to a lake and landed on the water.
Later, Naruto without his mask stood in the woods with Widow looking at Attilan. "You did good."
"I helped save the world. I guess I did okay."
"'Cause of that Terrigen wave, a bunch of folks are gonna have new powers. Not all of them are gonna behave." Naruto replied, wrapping his arm around her.
"As long as they're still the same people inside, they'll find their way."
A Week Later.
Naruto wearing a black sleeveless shirt, jeans, and brown boots was walking into the bottom room reading about Spider-Man and Wolverine going to the Savage Land and was able to recruit a young man there for the team. "As well as his pet… Smilodon?!"
"No."
"Way!"
He looked up to see Cap walk in with Inferno in a red and black bodysuit and a young Pakistani woman with brown hair in a costume. She's wearing a modified blue and red burkini with a yellow lightning bolt across it, a long red scarf, blue boots, a blue domino mask, and a set of golden bangles on her left arm.
"Yes, way. This is Avengers Tower." Cap said as she pulled out a smartphone.
"Sup!"
They turned to Naruto at that. "Do you work here?" The woman asked as Naruto smiled.
"Yeah, I'm Shinobi."
"Sh-Shinobi?!"
Naruto nodded at her. "Yeah, nice to meet you…" He trailed off as she ran over and took off her domino mask. "Kamala? It's been a while."
"Yeah! I-I didn't know you were this young though."
"Perks of a secret identity." He winked at her, getting Kamala to blush. "So, what's your name?"
"Ms. Marvel!"
They then walked to the lab where they saw Iron Man sitting at a table in front of a circular device. "And here's Iron Man's lab."
"Cap, Iron Man is not moving," F.R.I.D.A.Y. spoke having Cap walk over to the sitting hero.
"Tony? Can you hear me?" He shook Iron Man only to get silence in response. "What's wrong? F.R.I.D.A.Y., override and open his armor. Hurry." Doing so, had his faceplate open to reveal Tony was sleeping. "Tony!"
"Ah!" Tony woke up and stared at Cap. "What are you doing?"
"We thought something was wrong."
"I was trying to sleep. What's the problem? I'll do it all…" Tony trailed off as a flash hit his eyes and looked to see the two new arrivals. "What are they doing here?"
"I thought I'd give them a Tower tour. To thank them for their help."
"This lab's got space. Way bigger than his old lab." Inferno said as he looked around as Ms. Marvel followed suit.
"But his old lab was closer to his bedroom. This one's all the way at the other end of everything."
"How do you know so much about the Tower?" Cap asked as Iron Man leaned on the table.
"Floor plans are on the Internet, except the basement. For some reason, no one knows what's in the Avengers Tower basement. You can tell us! What's in the basement? Is it a spaceship? Oh, I bet there's an Avengers tank."
"No, just storage," Naruto spoke from behind her as Iron Man glanced up.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y., remind me later to scrub all the floor plans off the Internet. After I fix this Phase Projector. And after I get some sleep." He sighed out
They then walked into another room to see Sam out of his costume helping Hawkeye work on a hologram system. "Falcon, Hawkeye. You remember Inferno. And this is Ms. Marv-"
"I got this, Cap." She stepped up at that and smiled. "Code name's Marvel. Ms. Marvel. Big fan. Big fan."
"What's this thing do?" Inferno asked, looking at the hologram of the planet.
"It's our communications array," Naruto explained, crossing his arms. "You can see the others are off around the world but are ready to go on a moment's notice. Avengers are always on duty."
As they left, the hologram turned red before Sam and Hawkeye were shocked as they fell, the floor under them turned red as two arms in tattered white and dark gray clothing grabbed them and pulled them through the floor.
In the living room, the group sat on the couch as Cap was speaking. "Out there in the world, use your powers wisely. Keep good friends and trust in yourself."
"Um, Captain? Uh, Mr. America? I haven't gotten a selfie with you yet. Is there a chance I could?" Ms. Marvel asked as Naruto pulled his mask out to put it on to get in the picture.
"Sure."
"Which of you kids has been messing with the Tower systems?"
They looked to see Iron Man walking in. "I can't get a hold of Falcon or Hawkeye or anybody because somebody cut the communications."
"Communications? That wasn't us." Captain America spoke as Iron Man raised an eyebrow.
"Then who was it?"
They heard laughing before seeing a man in a costume phase out of the wall that turned red. His costume is white-tattered clothing with dark gray gloves and boots with a gas mask.
"Excuse the laughing. It's my way of announcing my presence. With authority."
"I don't think we've met," Cap said, pulling his shield up.
"Consider yourself lucky." Iron Man said, glancing over. "This is Ghost, an old enemy of mine. Thinks he's slick. But he's just a common, ordinary thief."
"While everyone's busy with Inhumans and bots, I made my move on Avengers Tower. That doesn't make me a common thief. That makes me a very uncommon thief. A visionary." Ghost explained as Iron Man brought his arm up to hit a button.
"Jamming signals ought to get you to stop talking."
Ghost just laughed before tossing small metal balls at them. "Take cover!"
Naruto pushed the new heroes out of the wall as the balls exploded before Ghost hit Iron Man in multiple places having his suit spark. "How wrong you are, Iron Man. I'm Inhuman now, with power you can't even dream of. Much more unpredictable." He glowed red before grabbing Iron Man's arm, having the suit glow. He then pushed /Tony out of the suit, having it fall. "And much more deadly."
He threw more balls at Tony's feet. "Embiggen!" Ms. Marvel's arms stretched over as her hands enlarged to cover Tony from the explosions
Naruto jumped up to punch Ghost as Inferno shot fire at him while Ms. Marvel hit him with her stretched-out arms. Ghost dropped more balls, having them take cover. Cap threw his shield at Ghost several times before he opened a hole in the wall having it go outside. "You didn't need that, did you? I already took out Falcon and Hawkeye."
"Inferno, slow him down!" Ms. Marvel grabbed Cap and Tony before running with Naruto as Inferno brought out a ring of fire. "I do not want to die in Avengers Tower. Or anywhere else, for that matter." She grew her other arm to break the doors before they ran out
And had Ghost phase in front of them. "You should run away. This isn't your fight."
"Is now!" Inferno shot fire around having Ghost groan. "You can't phase through the heat, can ya?"
"Walls are another story. Ghost appeared beside him and punched Inferno before Ms. Marvel threw a punch at him.
"Can you phase through this?" Ghost dodged the fist only to get hit with foam from a fire extinguisher.
"That'll cool him off," Naruto said as he and Cap held a fire extinguisher.
"Now what's the plan?" Tony asked as Cap looked over.
"First, try to lose Ghost." They ran inside a room where Tony started to type on a holo-keyboard. "Then we look for Falcon and Hawkeye, and some help."
"Can't send out a distress call," Tony said before Inferno looked over.
"Did you try a cell phone?"
"Oh, cell phone!" Ms. Marvel exclaimed, pulling her out.
Only for Tony to take it and show no signal. "It doesn't matter because Ghost is jamming every signal in the Tower."
"Why is he doing this? What's Ghost after?" Cap asked as an Aven-Jet appeared at the window as Ghost phased the roof and ceiling.
"I'm after something in the Tower. Something I can't get anywhere else. But first, ooh, I'm gonna have some fun. Have a nice flight." He said before dropping the jet.
They ran to the hall as the jet hit the tower.
They fell several stories before Inferno used his fire powers to fly as Naruto landed on the floor as Kamala grabbed the others and stretched up to the floor Naruto was on. "If Ghost thinks he's taken us out, it gives us a chance to find Falcon and Hawkeye. They walked down the hall with the two new heroes getting sidetracked by Thor's room before Ghost attacked them and took Inferno.
After coming up with a plan, they went to the bottom floor to see Ghost flying above a ball of energy with the others inside. "I could un-faze them now, but in their current positions… Well, let's just say it'd get a bit messy. But while you were running around, I got what I came for." Ghost said holding up a flash drive.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y."
"The most advanced computer AI system ever. With all the secrets of Tony Stark, the Avengers, and the world, and it's mine. Now comes the fun."
Ghost floated down and touched the floor, shaking the building.
"Uh, New York's not supposed to have earthquakes. Right?" Marvel asked as Ghost looked up.
"I'm phasing the ground underneath the Tower, making it like quicksand. I just got a better idea. I'll be watching all of you get buried alive." He let the others go and phased through the ceiling.
They ran up the stairs after trying to stop the building from sinking before Cap asked Inferno to use his powers like a rocket engine to keep them above ground as Naruto flashed the others up to Tony's lab.
"I may not have my armor, but I've still got my best weapon."
"Your mind, right?" Ms. Marvel asked as he went to the device from earlier.
"But barring that, I can use my Phase Projector. I'll try to match the Ghost's frequency and reverse his phase polarity. Keep that ceiling from crushing me, please."
They all kept debris off of Tony while he worked.
"I can't find the right frequency. Give me a few more seconds! Got it!" He went to a breaker box as Cap opened it and fired at it.
The building glowed as it started to rise before going down to see that Inferno caught Ghost. Later, after taking pictures with them, Naruto bid the two goodbye before hearing Kurama. "Think her powers work on her chest and ass?"
"Of course, you'd go there."
"Like you weren't thinking the same thing."
Next Day Tri-Carrier.
Shinobi appeared on top of the carrier to see his new team with Spider-Man and Cho out of his suit with Ka-Zar as well as Dagger. She ran to him to explain Cloak was stuck in the turbines as he saw Taskmaster with Goblin and Vulture flying to the other carrier as it started to split. "I'll get Cloak, Spider-Man, go after Taskmaster." Doing so, Naruto looked at the blades before looking at Venom. "Can you slow them down?"
Nodding Venom shot black tendrils to slow the blades as Naruto dropped down, turned, and threw a tri-pronged kunai before falling and appearing with Cloak. "OK, if you're up for it, let's get the villains," Naruto said before seeing Beetle, Doc Ock, and Scorpion before attacking them.
Later, Spider-Man was explaining that Goblin escaped with the Siege Perilous as Naruto looked at his old and new team before Fury spoke up. "There's not enough room here for both your teams so I figured you can use a place of your own." Fury then brought a hologram of a skyscraper building by the water with a base around it. "The Triskelion, S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters."
"Then Teams… Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy." Naruto said, turning to the teams.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.
Beta: Chaos-PSD and ANUBIS the god-king
The next few Chs will be the multiverse arc. NOW, Naruto will be doing his own thing so if there are any other worlds you would like to see Naruto go to feel free to send them via a PM or in a review. Not sure how many Chs it'll be but each Ch will be 10k no matter what so the updates might be slightly slow.
Kim Possible won the poll, it'll stay up until the day after Shinobi's next update to let any who read only one story know what won, then the Shinobi poll will be up for a rotation.
The Shinobi poll will be if Naruto should get a devil fruit. Choices will be yes. or No Jutsu is enough plus no time to train.
If you or someone you know is still looking for a PS5, I just found one in Walmart IN THE STORE, and then when getting Gotham Knights to scratch that DC itch until Suicide Squad comes out at GameStop (Due to everywhere else day 1 stuff is a nightmare to get if you don't get there at 7-9 AM as no one works where the game section is at) they told me they also had some in stock. So some are getting in stores now.
To those that celebrate it, I hope you have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
Next to be updated will be The Maelstrom Jedi.
Nothing else to say.
Talk To You Later,
Lone Wolf Out.🐺
