Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing some reactions of other characters to the fight between Naruto and the drones, along with seeing Naruto testing out the rest of his aliens. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
'So, they've returned.' Thought Professor Ozpin, the Headmaster of Beacon Academy, as he looked at his Scroll.
Ozpin is a middle-aged man with tousled silver hair and thin brown eyes. He has a light complexion and sharp facial features. Interestingly, Ozpin has black eyebrows. He wears shaded glass spectacles and a small, purple, cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck. His outfit mainly consists of an unzipped black suit over a dark green, buttoned vest and green shirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants. With him always carrying around his weapon/can, The Long Memory.
Currently, Ozpin was watching a recording of the fight between the drones and the transformed Naruto. Since several of the people that were present there had recorded the whole thing, before posting the videos. With the Headmaster having been shocked to see an alien on Remnant again. But he soon began thinking of how this could affect things going forward. Knowing that if aliens were returning to Remnant, then things just became even more complicated.
'If one alien is already here, then there's a chance that more will follow. And the last time aliens were here…' Thought Ozpin while gripping his Scroll and armrest tightly to suppress the shudder going through his body.
Still remembering the last alien that was on Remnant, ten years ago. One that even Salem had grown to fear for just how…Ozpin wasn't even sure if there was a word to accurately describe such a being. The closest he could think of is pure and simply…evil. Evil in its purest form.
Shaking his head, Ozpin reassured himself, knowing that the alien in question was long since dead. But it didn't mean there were others that could be just like him.
'But it seems there's now one that's trying to help.' Ozpin thought, looking at the transformed Naruto, curious of who and what this alien was; having never seen one like it before.
Though even if it was trying to help, he still needed to be cautious, since one can never be too careful when dealing with unknown aliens.
"Glynda, would you mind coming up to my office." Said Ozpin as he called the Combat Instructor of Beacon Academy, Glynda Goodwitch, before waiting a few moments for her to arrive, which wasn't long.
Glynda is a middle-aged woman, while still looking rather youthful, with very light-blonde hair tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down the right side of her face. Her eyes are bright green with thin ovular glasses over them. She has dangling teal earrings that match the hanging pendant on her collar. She was wearing a white long-sleeved, pleated top that has a wide keyhole neckline and gauntlet cuffs that flare in pleats at the wrist. Her lower body is covered by a black high-waisted pencil skirt with bronze buttons and black fading into brown stockings. Black boots with bronze heels and a cape that is purple inside and black on the outside. The cut of the cape is stylized to end in flames and arrows, with a row of diamond-shaped bronze beads on the back. Above this line of beads appears an emblem of a tiara that is her personal symbol. While her weapon is a riding crop called The Disciplinarian, which she usually keeps collapsed and attached to the top of her boot.
"You needed to see me, Headmaster?" Questioned Goodwitch after entering the office, with Ozpin wordlessly handing her his Scroll to show her the video.
Looking at it, Glynda's eyes widened slightly at the sight of the drones and the alien fighting them, before looking back at the Headmaster.
"They've come back." Glynda stated, having been made aware of the existence of aliens, as well as Salem, after joining Ozpin's group.
"It would seem that way. Though for what purpose, I haven't the faintest idea. Nor why they're coming back to Remnant now, of all times. All that I can say, is that this will certainly change things in the coming years." Ozpin said, with the woman nodding in agreement, knowing that Salem and her followers were one thing, but aliens were something else entirely.
"What're your plans to deal with this?" Goodwitch asked, since if aliens are showing up again, then it could provide Salem another advantage if she's able to get some to join her side.
"Unfortunately, all we can do is watch and wait to see what happens. But that doesn't mean we won't be doing anything, which is why I called you up here. Given with how hard you've been working with the last school year, I believe it's only fitting that you take a long vacation to rest and relax yourself Glynda. And should you happen to come across any of these aliens while on vacation, then I'm sure it's just a coincidence." Said Ozpin, wanting Glynda to be on the lookout for any aliens, while under the pretense of being on vacation to avoid drawing Salem's attention to him investigating the matter.
Plus, Ozpin would admit that it may also do her some good to get away for a while, and learn to relax some more.
"Hmm, I suppose it would be." Glynda replied with a nod, before turning to leave to get ready for her "vacation", but stopped when Ozpin spoke again.
"One other thing, I heard from Qrow that Taiyang and his daughters were going on a road trip with Jiraiya and his godchildren for the summer. And they were apparently supposed to have been camping near the location of the attack that just happened. Should you encounter them, ask if they saw anything, while informing Taiyang and Jiraiya to be careful." Ozpin added, with Goodwitch scowling in annoyance at the mention of Jiraiya.
"Fine, but if that pervert so much as tries anything…" Said Goodwitch trailing off, as while she may respect Jiraiya's abilities, his more perverted tendencies made him come up rather short.
"Of course." Said Ozpin with a nod, knowing that Jiraiya had a reputation, which wasn't helped by him being a self-proclaimed "super pervert".
He just had to hope that nothing too big happens in the future, knowing he didn't even more problems to deal with besides Salem.
*With Qrow*
Meanwhile, within a bar in the Kingdom of Mistral was another of Ozpin's allies, Qrow Branwen.
Qrow has graying black, spiky hair, with the bangs hanging over his forehead, faded red eyes, and slight stubble along his jawline. Along with a red, tattered cloak, he wears a gray dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants and black dress shoes. He also wears a ring on his right index finger, two other rings on his right ring finger and a necklace with a crooked cross-shaped pendant.
Like with Ozpin, Qrow was looking at his Scroll, watching the fight between the drones and the transformed Naruto.
'Never thought I'd see aliens back on Remnant, after what happened the last time.' Thought Qrow as he watched the video with a frown, knowing that Ozpin has likely already seen the video and is planning to do something to find out more.
And while Qrow was worried, given the attack seemed to be close to where Taiyang, Jiraiya, and the kids would be camping right now, he knew the two would keep the kids out of it. Knowing they wouldn't want to get them involved in anything related to aliens or Salem for their own safety.
'That, and knowing what Kushina would do to them if she found they got her kids involved in anything dangerous.' Qrow thought with a smirk.
Which is also another reason he wasn't going to go check on them, he'd already been on the receiving end of Kushina's wrath before and Qrow enjoyed keeping his body in one piece.
Before the Branwen frowned, knowing if he and Ozpin have already seen this, then others would have as well. Namely Salem and her followers, and even his twin sister, Raven Branwen, would have all seen the fight.
'And honestly, I have no idea which would be worse.' Thought Qrow, knowing both of them would try to use this to their advantage, Salem to get more followers and pawns to use, and Raven to strengthen the tribe.
Qrow couldn't help but sigh before ordering another drink, feeling like he won't be having many moments to relax in the coming days.
*With Raven*
In the western part of Anima, Raven herself was watching the fight between the transformed Naruto and the drones.
Raven had pale skin, long jet black hair tied by a red bandanna and loosely done up in a ponytail with the ends resembling curved black feathers, along with dark crimson eyes, while still possessing a youthful appearance with slight age lines. Her attire consisted of a shallow cut black and red dress with black shorts underneath, with series of beaded necklaces and a belt that wraps around her waist and carries her weapon's sheath. Attached also is a long black object that is either fur or feathers, with a red and white bandana material like hanging from behind her. Her forearms bear red armored gauntlets that protrude outwards and solid black gloves. She wore black mid-thigh high leggings and black heels with red soles.
'Aliens, should've figured they'd return eventually.' Raven thought, not surprised to see aliens returning to Remnant, having doubted they'd stay gone for long.
Only being surprised that it's been over ten years since they were last here.
'Aside from the ones no one can see or find.' Thought Raven, aware that there were aliens hiding on Remnant, having made it her business to be in the know after having learned of their existence; especially if they could help strengthen her tribe.
Now it seemed that more may be showing up. Ones that didn't care about hiding or not being seen, and Raven knew it'd only be a matter of time before more start appearing and changing things.
Looking at the video again, Raven frowned when she caught sight of something that made her pause it.
'No, no, no, they're both idiots. But even they wouldn't…' Raven thought while zooming in on what she saw, before pinching the bridge of her nose when she saw they were several red rose petals being left behind by a fast moving red blur, along with just barely seeing a familiar blonde girl.
"Of all the…" Muttered Raven, not believing Jiraiya and Taiyang actually let hers and Summer's daughters get involved with aliens.
And from what little she's heard from keeping an eye on them, then Kushina's children are also with them right now on some road trip.
'If they wanted to die that badly, there are less painful ways to go.' Raven thought while shaking her head, knowing how protective Kushina was of her children and how dangerous she can be if they're hurt or threatened.
Looking back at her Scroll, Raven contemplated what she should do with this new information and how to prepare for the changes coming.
*Haven Academy*
Meanwhile, within Haven Academy, Headmaster Leonardo Lionheart watched the fight with a panicked expression on his face.
Lionheart was a middle-aged man with a mane of tan/gray hair and a beard. He had a tanned complexion with brown eyebrows and dark brown eyes. While having a lions tail the same color as his hair and beard as his Faunus trait. He wore a brown greatcoat with a matching mantle, which had cross emblems on each side. He also wore a white dress shirt under his coat, a western necktie and carried a pocket watch with a lion head on it as an emblem. Lionheart also wore dark brown slacks and dress shoes.
'Aliens?! They're back! Why have they come back?!' Thought Lionheart, not believing aliens had returned to Remnant, having hoped they'd never return again.
It was bad enough that they still had Salem to deal with, but now it seemed like they may also have to deal with aliens as well.
'I need to speak with Ozpin! Find out what he's planning to do to deal with these aliens!' Lionheart thought, not wanting to have to fight another battle against an enemy they have even less information about.
*Atlas Academy*
Within the floating city of Atlas was Atlas Academy, with the Headmaster being James Ironwood. Who was also the General of the Atlesian Military.
Ironwood's hair was black, with some gray areas, while his eyebrows were solid black. He had a strip of silver metal above his right eyebrow, a neurotransmitter that helped him operate the robotic parts of his body. He wore a white overcoat, with a gray undercoat, black sweater, a red necktie, and a white glove on his right hand to hide his robotic arm. His suit pants shared the same color as his overcoat and were tucked into silver boots accented in gray.
The general watched the fight with a frown on his face, worried to see that aliens may be coming to Remnant again. Ever since he learned the existence of aliens, along with Salem, he'd been doing everything he could to improve Atlas's strength and defenses in the event they ever came back. Unfortunately, while he could make defenses against the Grimm, aliens were another story. Given how it was impossible for them to even get to space, with how Dust becomes useless once in orbit.
Plus, the last time an alien was here, Ironwood was honestly terrified that nothing they did would be able to stop him from destroying all of Remnant.
'We were just lucky to have a Plumber like him around, to put that monster down for good.' Ironwood thought, thankful for the one who took that alien down, even at the cost of his own life.
Now it seemed like aliens may be returning. For what reason, Ironwood couldn't be sure, but he'd do his best to make sure that Atlas and the rest of Remnant were ready and prepared.
*Shade Academy*
In his office at Shade Academy, was Headmaster Theodore.
Theodore is described as "putting everything out there," having worked hard to get his body into peak physical condition and wanting to show it off. He has dark, close cut hair, which is almost shaved off, and a checkered vest shows off his wiry frame thin but with sharp lines of muscle like he had been chiseled from stone. He was wearing an ankle length, grey-blue cape likened to the color of a storm sky which is clasped onto his shoulders with a silver chain, a silver belt with a round buckle, matching boots, and bright white slacks with deep side pockets. Theodore also wears red gloves which are decorated in Dust crystals, his weapon of choice.
Theodore couldn't help but tap his foot in worry, while watching the fight between the drones and the ice alien. Having already been worried enough about Salem's inevitable arrival, now he had to worry about aliens showing up as well.
'Bad enough, I have to train my students to eventually fight against a Magic-using Grimm Queen, now I have to prepare them to deal with aliens. How do you even deal with something that no one even believes exist?' Thought Theodore, not wanting any of his students to have to be trained to fight a war they know nothing about, or fighting enemies they don't even know exist or are real.
He also knew that Ironwood and Ozpin had both likely seen this as well, and are no doubt already planning something.
'Ozpin is probably trying to play it cautious and gather information, while James is most likely thinking of bigger weapons to make to use against them.' Theodore thought while letting out a sigh and rubbing his temples, hating how his fellow Headmasters tended to make rather reckless choices.
While he prefers to put the safety of his students above everything else. If that means upping their training to the point it may look dangerous, then so be it. He'd prefer them training until they drop, rather than being killed when the fight eventually comes to them.
*Land of Darkness*
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Look how they run around trying to escape! But they can't! The chaos, the destruction, the death, they'll never be able to get away!" A scorpion Faunus shouted before laughing madly.
The Faunus was a pale man with gold eyes and a brown ponytail braided to resemble a scorpion's tail. He wears a white sleeveless jacket with leather belts strapped to it, along with white pants. His jacket is left open, exposing his bare chest, which is crisscrossed with prominent scars. His arms are covered with cream colored bandages and leather vambraces. He also wears leather boots covering his entire shin with knee guards. On each earlobe is a silver, ring-shaped earring, and near the top of his left ear is another matching earring. While emerging from his lower back was a scorpion tail with a stinger at the end.
This is Tyrian Callows, a known serial killer who was believed to be dead by authorities.
"It's a waste of life and serves no purpose. Whoever is responsible for this, is merely causing death and destruction for no purpose." A man retorted, not sharing Tyrian's amusement at the seemingly senseless destruction.
He was a tall and muscular middle-aged man. He was also unusually large and broad, looking to be able to tower over other people. He had short brown hair, a beard, and hazel eyes. His hairy arms had some large scars running up them, a result of using Dust infusions. He wore a two-tone olive green coat over a black 3/4 sleeve shirt, and a large belt. His pants were black, with a pouch strapped to each pants leg, and his boots are brown with white fronts. Some of his scars near the edges of his sleeves are visible.
This is Hazel Rainart, an associate and ally of Tyrian, if only reluctantly since they served the same Master.
"I know! That's what makes it even better, no desire, no reason but to cause destruction! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tyrian laughed, making Hazel frown before turning to their Master, Salem.
Salem is a woman with deathly pale skin, dark purple veins lining her face and arms, a black diamond-shaped marking in the center of her forehead, with glowing crimson eyes and jet black sclerae in her eyes. With her hair being a bleached, pale white color, styled into a larger bun with six offshoots wrapped together that also suspends several obsidian-colored ornaments.
Her attire consisted of a very long, short-sleeved black robe that obscures her feet and partially drags across the ground, with its distinctive feature being a curved high collar with dark red trim bordering the outer edge of a narrow window exposing her bust in a vertical ellipsis resembling an eye, and completed with a long shawl emblazoned with three interconnected, maroon-colored vertical elliptic sigils resembling a trio of overseeing eyes above a series of maroon-colored diamond emblems. She also wears a ring resembling a beetle on her right middle finger, which have long fingernails with jet-black nail polish.
"Your Grace, what should we do about these aliens?" Questioned Hazel, as they watched the fight through some Seer Grimm, wondering what she'll do with the reappearance of aliens and their technology.
Salem remained silent as she watched the fight, keeping her hands folded on her lap as a means to hide their shaking. Given that she recognized those drones and knew they only served one being, and even if they're dead the sight of them still brought up memories she preferred to forget.
'But if they've appeared again, does that mean they have a new master? Are they connected to him? Are they picking up where he left off? And what's their purpose for being here?' Thought Salem, having no idea what to do.
"Nothing. So far, it seems like only a single alien has appeared on Remnant, giving no reason for us to get involved. If they wish to fight each other and cause destruction, let them. It will only serve to further our own goals with the more people panic and attract the Grimm. But should either of you encounter this alien or more of these drones while out on missions…kill it and destroy them, then bring what's left back for study." Salem said, wanting the aliens and drones remains to see how they can further her plans or perhaps make her Grimm even more powerful.
*Patch*
Back on Patch, Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto and Tamago's mother, was also watching the video of the fight.
Kushina was a woman well-known for her beauty, as despite having two children she still looked to be in her late twenties-early thirties. With fair skin, a slender and curvaceous body, bright violet eyes, and her most eye-catching feature being her long bright red hair that went down to her thighs and shoulder-length strands that framed both sides of her face and a black clip that parts her hair to the left. With Kushina having begun wearing more regular clothing since giving birth, now wearing a white high-collared, sleeveless blouse under a green long, loose-fitting dress with a wristband on her left wrist and pale purple sandals.
Kushina watched the fight in worry and anger, the latter being directed at the drones that she's all too familiar with, along with who controlled them.
'I hope you're burning in whatever hell you ended up in.' Kushina thought vindictively, hating the being that commanded those drones, along with whoever dared use them now.
Before she looked at the alien in confusion, wondering what a Necrofriggian was doing on Remnant, recognizing what alien it was and knew they usually preferred keeping to themselves. So, she found it strange that one was now on Remnant, even more so that it was fighting the drones.
Though what really worried the woman was that from looking at the fight, she knew it wasn't far from where the kids along with Jiraiya and Taiyang were camping.
'Please, please, please let them be alright.' Thought Kushina, mentally praying that Naruto, Tamago, Ruby, and Yang didn't get caught up in the fight or were hurt.
Not wanting to see any of them get hurt or worse, the redhead refusing to think of anything happening to them nor wanting to lose anyone else she cares about.
'And I swear if those two let anything happen to them, I will nail their asses to the fucking wall and grind what's left into dust to scatter over their graves!' Kushina swore, knowing she'll make Jiraiya and Taiyang suffer if they let anything happen to her babies.
That's not even counting what she'll do if she learns that pervert tried corrupting them, either.
*With the group*
Meanwhile, Jiraiya and Taiyang both felt a cold shiver go through their bodies, glancing at each other nervously as they just knew it was likely Kushina was threatening them. Both of them having learned from experience to know when she was.
"Okay, this seems like a good enough spot to practice in." Jiraiya said, stopping the RV in a clearing in the forest with plenty of space and a lake.
"Awesome! The watch has recharged and I'm ready to see what the rest of these guys can do!" Said Naruto while running out of the Rust Bucket, the girls following close behind all of them eager to see what he'll transform into next.
"Oh, oh, oh, transform into that ice alien or should we call him…Insectachill!" Yang said, making Naruto, Tamago, and Ruby look at her dryly.
"We're not calling him that, besides my aliens I get to decide their names. And I wanna try a new one, though for the ice one, how about…Big Chill." Naruto said, before pressing the watches button as the dial popped up.
"Oooh, how about this guy!" Ruby said, looking at a silhouette of an alien with something sticking out of the top of their head.
"Hmm, why not." Said Naruto, nodding in agreement, before slamming the dial back down and was enveloped in a green flash.
Feeling the watch sinking into his wrist and his veins bulge, Naruto felt his two middle fingers merge together, with claws growing from his fingers as well as webbing between them. A strange feeling then came from his mouth before his jaws expanded along with his teeth growing much bigger and into sharpened points. Finally, he felt something emerge from his forehead and hung from his head.
Once the light the faded, the group saw Naruto had transformed into a tall humanoid fish-like alien, with his body being mostly grey-light green, he had four-fingered webbed hands along with his feet now only having two toes with claws like his hands. Dark green fins on his arms, and the back of his neck, a matching colored lure emerging from his forehead like an anglerfish, a large jaw and mouth filled with razor sharp teeth, and blank blue eyes. While having what looked like a black loincloth with green triangular lines.
"Woah, talk about a monster-sized catch." Yang said while looking Naruto over.
"It's not hard to guess that this alien belongs in the water." Said Tamago, seeing it was an aquatic alien.
"Yeah, he must be pretty-" Naruto said, hearing his voice had a deep, raspy tone, only to start gagging and fell to his hands and knees, much to the others worry.
"You alright kid?" Jiraiya asked while looking his godson over to see if something happened.
"Can't…breathe…need…w-water…" Said Naruto, while gasping from his inability to breathe before he began crawling towards the lake, managing to throw himself into it, with the others running over to the edge.
Not a moment later, Naruto came jumping out, showing his legs and loincloth had merged together to form a tail, giving him a merman-esque appearance.
"Oh yeah, that's much better!" Naruto said, feeling better in the water before he began swimming around.
"Okay, so this alien can't stay on land for too long, better make sure we always have water around in case you transform into him." Said Ruby, getting nods from the others, given how dangerous it could be if Naruto transformed into this alien and there was no water around.
"Yeah, but now let's see what this guy can do!" Said Naruto, before jumping into the air and backflipping into the water.
Swimming through the water, Naruto looked around while seeing how fast he was going, along with not feeling the need to go up for air no matter how long he's underwater.
"Okay, so far this guy seems pretty good for being stealthy in the water. I wonder how strong he is." Naruto said before swimming straight towards a rock and slamming his fist into it, grinning when the rock shattered into pieces.
"Nice, I'm gonna guess and say most of the aliens I can turn into will be really strong." Stated Naruto before he resumed swimming around, this time also catching some fish as he did so.
"So, he can swim fast, is really strong, doesn't need air, and can probably survive even deeper water than this. Hmmmm." Naruto said, trying to think if the alien can do anything else before raising a hand to his large jaws and suddenly got an idea.
Looking around, Naruto soon saw a large rock, big enough for him to test his theory before swimming right towards it.
"I really hope this works." Naruto muttered, knowing if it didn't then he's going to be feeling a lot of pain.
Once he was close to the rock, Naruto didn't hesitate to open his mouth wide open before feeling it open even wider as his jaw became unhinged. With the transformed Uzumaki then biting down right on the rock, amazed when he bit right through the rock, shattering it.
"Oh man! I bet I could rip through metal with this guy!" Said Naruto before he saw the dial began flashing red and beeping, making him swim up to the surface.
The others being surprised when Naruto emerged from the water and landing on the ground, just as the watch timed out and he transformed back to normal.
"That was awesome! And check out what I caught for lunch!" Naruto said, grinning as he held up the fish he caught.
"Nice going kid, I'll be sure to have you catch some more whenever we're near water." Said Jiraiya before he and Taiyang took the fish to prepare and store them for later.
"You were under there a long time, are you alright?" Tamago asked, wondering if he was fine staying under the water that long, even as that alien.
"I'm fine, better even. While Ripjaws doesn't have any crazy abilities like Fasttrack or Big Chill, he's still an awesome alien!" Replied Naruto, already knowing what he was going to name Ripjaws after seeing how strong his bite was.
"Ripjaws? Is that what you're naming him?" Questioned Ruby, curious about the name.
"Yep, since I tested how strong my mouth was and bit right through a giant rock like it was bread. I could probably even rip apart stuff that's even stronger than that, as well." Naruto said, much to their amazement before Yang grinned.
"Okay, with a power like that, Ripjaws is a pretty cool name. And you'll definitely be able to show your bite is way worse than your bark." Stated Yang with a smirk, with the whiskered blonde nodding in agreement.
"Oh yeah, did you think of a name for that other alien you transformed into, the one that can control electricity?" Tamago asked, wondering if he's also thought of a name for the first alien he transformed into.
"I actually haven't thought of a name for him yet, since I didn't really get a chance to see what else he could do besides control electricity. So, I'm gonna see what else he can do before thinking of a name." Replied Naruto while looking at the watch, with the girls nodding at this since there may have been abilities, they didn't see him do yet.
They then waited for the watch to recharge, having learned from the previous recharges that it seemed to take about five minutes. Which soon passed as the watch turned green again and was ready for use.
"Well, guess there's no better time to see what else he can do than now." Naruto stated, pressing the button and turning the dial until he saw the electric alien before slamming it back down and transforming into him.
"So, what else do you think this guy can do besides create electricity?" Said Yang as she looked Naruto over, with the transformed Uzumaki creating small bolts of electricity from his hands.
"No clue, maybe it's more how I use the power than figuring out what he can do." Said Naruto, guessing that he just manipulated electricity anyway he could think of.
Shooting some electric bolts at the trees, before he tried moving his tail and antennae seeing that they could stretch a good amount of distance before pausing when he felt something strange.
"Is something wrong, Naruto?" Ruby asked upon seeing the expression on his face along with how he was moving his antennae.
"I'm…not really sure. I just suddenly feel something in the air, like I can…smell something through my antennae." Naruto replied, getting confused looks from the others before seeing him start moving.
Naruto went towards the Rust Bucket as he felt that the sensation was coming from inside before he immediately looked at the radio and grinned. Then to the surprise of the others, he stabbed his antennae into the radio and began absorbing the electricity from it.
"Oh come on, kid! Don't go breaking the radio, I need that!" Jiraiya said in annoyance at the damage that was done to the radio before they were surprised again when Naruto suddenly jumped out high into the air.
"Sorry, but oh man, what a rush that was!" Said Naruto, feeling even stronger after absorbing the energy from the radio before feeling the energy start building up inside him,
Throwing his hands forward towards a tree, Naruto unleashed a large electrical blast that shot straight through the tree, destroying it, with the others looking on in amazement at how powerful the blast was.
"Woah, you can absorb energy and turn it into power. And I think what you were "smelling" may have been something like radio waves." Tamago said, realizing what else he could do as this alien, making Naruto grin as he looked at himself while Ruby immediately rushed into the Rust Bucket before coming back out.
"Try absorbing these!" Ruby said excitedly before throwing several Dust Crystals at Naruto, making Jiraiya and Taiyang's eyes widened before going to grab them.
Only for Naruto's tail and antennae to grab the crystals first and start absorbing them, with Naruto's grin growing at the energy he absorbed from the Dust.
"That was…WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Naruto said before shooting blasts of electricity from his hands towards the ground, sending him flying up into the air, with the others looking up in shock at his sudden flight.
The transformed Uzumaki kept releasing streams of electricity from his hands as he flew around the air, before flying right back towards the ground. Once he was close enough to the ground, Naruto slammed his fists down, unleashing a large wave of lightning while destroying multiple trees in front of him. Standing up with electricity bouncing off his body, Naruto grinned at the others.
"That was even better than the radio! If I can absorb energy from technology and even Dust, imagine what else I can absorb! Feedback rocks!" Said Feedback, liking what this alien can do.
"Feedback…that sounds like an awesome name!" Yang said with a grin, with Ruby and Tamago nodding in agreement given how he can absorb energy and then shoot it out as electricity.
"Well just try not to absorb the energy from the Rust Bucket, I'd prefer not having to recharge it every time you use this guy." Said Jiraiya, not wanting Feedback to drain his RV of all its energy.
Feedback merely grinned before the dial began flashing red and beeping as he transformed back into Naruto.
"Feedback has to be your coolest alien yet! Being able to absorb energy and turn it into electricity, using it to fly, unleash attacks, oooh imagine if you used it to supercharge weapons!" Ruby said in excitement of all the things Naruto could do as Feedback.
"I know, he's definitely a cool alien. And I still have six more to try out." Replied Naruto with a grin eager to see what his remaining aliens can do.
After waiting for the watch to recharge, Naruto began cycling through the remaining aliens, with Tamago, Yang and Ruby each crowding around, wanting to see what will be next.
"Since Ruby got to choose Ripjaws and then I chose Feedback, do either of you want to pick the next alien?" Naruto asked while looking at Tamago and Yang, wanting to see if they wanted to suggest one of the aliens.
"Yang can choose next." Offered Tamago, unable to decide which alien to choose since all of them looked really cool and interesting.
"The big guy! The one with claws on his hands, turn into that one!" Yang said eagerly, wanting to see what that alien was like, with Naruto nodding and turning the dial to that alien.
"Okay, let's see what he can do!" Said Naruto before slamming the dial down as he was enveloped in a green light.
Once again feeling the watch sink into his wrist and his veins bulge, Naruto felt his body begin growing taller and more muscular. Along with feeling fur growing all over his body, with large claws emerging from the back of his hands, while letting out a roar once the transformation was complete.
When the light faded, everyone saw what alien Naruto had transformed into, seeing he was now about nine feet tall. He resembled an orange and white bipedal tiger with one black claw coming out of each wrist and no tail. He is also muscular and has blue eyes and black stripes on his shoulders, head, legs, and upper body as well as a white jaw, neck, chest, stomach, hands, and feet.
"Yes! This guy looks so cool! I wonder what he can do!" Yang said while looking the alien over, before backing away when he suddenly rounded on her.
"You wanna know what Rath can do, Yang Xiao Long, then Rath will show ya!" Said Rath before tackling a tree and ripping it out of the ground, much to everyone's shock and amazement at his strength.
Before Yang soon grinned in excitement and charged towards Rath and slammed her fist into his face, knocking him back.
"Yang?! Why did you do that?!" Ruby said in disbelief at what her sister just did.
"Oh don't be like that, sis! There's no way I'm passing up the chance to see how strong he really-woah!" Said Yang, only to be surprised when Rath got up faster than she expected and before grabbing her by her vest.
"Lemme tell ya somthin' Yang Xiao Long! You wanna fight Rath while Rath is showing off, then be prepared for a Serious Butt-Kicking!" Rath said before throwing Yang at a tree, sending her crashing through it.
"Yang!" Said Taiyang in worry, despite knowing how strong his daughter was, but was relieved when Yang got up with a grin on her face and her hair now resembling fire.
"That's what I'm talking about! Let's see what you got big guy!" Yang said while activating Ember Celica.
"Rath will show you what he's got, Rath will show you everything he's got and make you like it!" Shouted Rath before charging Yang, with the blonde girl doing the same.
The two meeting in the middle and slamming their fists into each other's faces, knocking each other back, only to get up a moment later and charge each other again. With Yang managing to duck under another punch from Rath, before delivering an uppercut to his chin. But was surprised when Rath wrapped his arms around her, lifting her up and turning her upside down.
"Polaris Piledriver!" Rath said, lifting Yang up and piledriving her into the ground, making Yang grunt as her Aura flared around her before feeling her Semblance kick in.
Cocking her gauntlets, Yang punched Rath repeatedly in the stomach, making the alien growl in annoyance as he was pushed back by the shots. With Yang taking the chance to get back up and jump towards Rath, slamming her fist right into his face, knocking him back further. Only to gag when Rath moved and slammed his arm into her neck.
"Antarian Arm Bar!" Said Rath as he rushed forward before throwing his arm towards Yang and launching her right through a tree before he went climbed on top of the Rust Bucket.
"From the top rope, it's a major body slam!" Rath said, jumping off the RV towards Yang, who's eyes widened at the sight and quickly fired her gauntlets again to propel herself out of the way, leading the alien to slam into the ground.
"Here's an elbow drop for you!" Said Yang, climbing up a tree before jumping down and slamming her elbow down on Rath's head when he got back up, only for Rath to grab her immediately afterwards.
"And here's an Ophiuchus Face-plant back at ya!" Retorted Rath, slamming Yang face first into the ground.
"Yeah! How do ya like Rath now, Yang Xiao Long?!" Rath said, throwing his arms up, while Yang got up from the ground panting slightly but still grinning.
"Don't think this over yet, I'm gonna make…the…most…" Yang said only to trail off when she noticed something on Rath's hand.
"What?! What you gonna say to Rath?! You wanna go, cause Rath can go all day!" Said Rath, but stopped when he saw Yang's eyes turning bright red and looking at his hand.
Looking down, Rath's eyes widened when he saw that he had a few strands of golden blonde hair in his hand.
"…Rath admits errors were just made." Rath stated before Yang shouted in rage and launched in herself at Rath, smashing her fist into his head, sending him flying back through several trees.
"Lemme tell ya somthin' Rath! Nobody touches my hair and gets away with it!" Yelled Yang before rushing towards Rath to beat him unconscious.
Only to be stopped when Tamago got in front of her and grabbed the blonde brawlers shoulder, with Yang being surrounded by a flash of white light as she felt her Aura and Semblance be sealed away.
"I hate it when you do that." Yang muttered, falling to her hands and knees at feeling her strength leave her, along with now feeling the effect of her fight, while Tamago panted slightly.
"S-sorry Yang, but I-I had to stop you." Tamago replied, feeling tired from using her Semblance.
Her Semblance was known as Whiteout, which allowed her to seal away a person's Aura and Semblance, but only by making physical contact with them and consciously wanting to seal them away. She's also limited to only using it on a single person and only lasting a few minutes at best. Though it also depends on how strong the person is compared to her, as the stronger they are the more tired she feels.
"Are you alright, Yang?" Taiyang asked while going up to his daughter.
"I'm fine, just tired since Rath hits really hard, especially when I can feel them. But I'm still mad at him for touching my hair." Replied Yang, glaring at where she sent Rath, before they all saw a flash of red light as Naruto soon emerged rubbing his head.
"Ugh, what just happened?" Naruto asked, feeling sore all over while having a hard time remembering his transformation.
"Don't you remember? You transformed into Rath and then you and Yang started fighting, but then you pulled out some of her hair and she sent you flying." Said Ruby, making Naruto's eyes widen.
"Um, first off, Rath? And second, I did what?!" Said Naruto, knowing how big of a mistake it is to mess with Yang's hair.
"Rath, the alien you turned into, that's what you named him or at least that's what he kept saying." Tamago said, making Naruto frown in confusion.
"I…don't really remember much, just the feeling of transforming and then feeling really angry and wanting to hit something. Everything else is just a blur." Naruto replied, getting frowns from the others.
"It's possible that when you transform you into certain aliens, the base personality of the alien species could be more dominant than your own. I guess Rath's personality was just more prevalent and made you act different." Said Jiraiya, with Taiyang nodding in agreement since that seemed the most likely, while Naruto glanced at the watch.
"I guess I'll need more training with Rath then to get better control. And uh, sorry about…your hair, Yang." Said Naruto, looking at his friend nervously, with Yang waving it off while feeling her Aura be unsealed.
"It's fine, especially if you weren't really in control. But don't think I won't kick Rath's as…butt next time he comes out." Yang replied while quickly correcting herself at remembering her father was here, with Naruto nodded slowly since he figured that's the best he'll get.
Once the watch recharged again, Naruto looked over the five aliens he had left to test out before looking at his sister.
"Wanna choose now sis?" Naruto asked, with Tamago looking over the different aliens humming in thought.
"How about this one, it looks pretty interesting." Said Tamago, pointing at the silhouette of an alien that looked like it had a big head or eyes.
"Yeah it's hard to tell what that one can do, but let's find out." Replied Naruto before slamming the dial down as he began transforming
Feeling the watch sink into his wrist again, Naruto was confused for a moment when he didn't feel his veins bulge like the other time, instead just feeling his body begin transforming. Starting with his hands that he felt becoming bigger along with his two middle fingers merging together. Followed by his head transforming and his eyes growing much larger and moving away. Finally Naruto felt himself getting smaller and smaller before stopping as the transformation was finished.
Once the transformation ended the group was confused when they didn't see Naruto anywhere in sight.
"Uh, Naruto? Did you turn into an invisible alien or something?" Ruby asked looking around for her friend
"Uh, guys, I'm down here." Said Naruto in a high-pitched voice, making everyone look down only to be shocked at what they saw
Naruto was a grey-skinned, frog-like, bipedal alien that is only four inches tall with large blue eyes, which have rectangular pupils and horizontal eyelids when he blinked. He wore a white jumpsuit with a thin vertical black stripe down the front, his eyes were yellowish-green, his forehead had a larger version of the jumpsuit's stripe, and the dial was on his back.
Everyone looked at the transformed and tiny Naruto in stunned silence for a few moments, before Yang threw her head back and laughed loudly, much to Naruto's annoyance.
"This isn't funny Yang! Look at me, I'm a damn shrimp!" Naruto said in annoyance that he was such a tiny alien.
"Then it's nothing new for you, isn't it?! After all, next to Ruby, you're the shortest one in our group, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Yang laughed loudly, unable to help herself.
"Hey!" Naruto and Ruby exclaimed while giving Yang annoyed glares at being called short, before Tamago picked up her shrunken brother.
"So, what do you think this little guy can do?" Tamago asked, with Yang's laughter soon dying down as they all thought about it.
"Well he's really small, so I guess he'd be good at getting into places and spying on people." Jiraiya said before he started giggling perversely at what he'd be able to do if he was that small, much to the girls annoyance while Taiyang sighed, knowing what Jiraiya was thinking.
"I'm not doing that you perverted idiot, and I'm not going to do it for you either! And that can't be everything there is to this guy." Naruto said before looking himself over and thought of what this alien could do, only for his eyes to widen before jumping out of his sisters hand.
Everyone watched as Naruto ran towards the Rust Bucket, jumping up the steps and disappearing inside.
"What're you doing in there?" Ruby asked, confused at Naruto's sudden action, only for them to hear what sounded like something was being worked on in there.
After a few moments, Naruto soon came back out, but what was surprising was that he was now on a tiny floating platform with railing around it and a small control panel.
"Woah, did you make that thing?" Yang asked in surprise, while Naruto flew around on the platform with a smirk.
"I didn't, but Grey Matter did." Grey Matter replied.
"Grey Matter? Wait…he's intelligent, that's what this alien can do." Tamago said, realizing what Grey Matters ability was, with the alien nodding in response.
"That's right, my intelligence is through the roof, to the point that I was able to make this with just a few spare parts around the Rust Bucket. Which will definitely help in getting around easier when I'm Grey Matter." Said Grey Matter, while hiding the Drone parts that Ruby took when Taiyang and Jiraiya weren't looking, with Ruby getting stars in her eyes.
"That is so cool! Just imagine everything you'd be able to build if you had access to even more parts! All the different weapons you could create, armor, even vehicles!" Ruby said in excitement at what Grey Matter could do.
"Yep, and speaking of weapons…" Grey Matter said before trailing off before smirking at Yang and flew over to her as he began firing small laser blasts at Yang, making the blonde girl yelp at the stinging sensation.
"OW! Hey! Stop that! OW! Quit it! I swear I'm gonna-" Said Yang as she tried running away as Grey Matter zapping her, while laughing madly.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Who's tiny now Yang, who's tiny now?! And consider this double revenge for beating me in our game yesterday!" Grey Matter said as he flew after Yang.
"Are you kidding me?! I thought this alien was supposed to be really smart, not a sore loser!" Yang said before letting out a loud yelp when Grey Matter shot her in her ass.
"I am! But that doesn't mean I can't be both, now dance my puppet, dance!" Said Grey Matter as he started shooting at Yang's feet making her jump around to avoid being hit.
Though soon the dial began beeping, making Grey Matter jump off his platform, transforming back into Naruto before he hit the ground.
"You realize I'm going to get you back for that." Yang stated while looking at him with narrowed eyes.
"I know, still worth it though." Naruto replied with a smirk.
"So you have four more aliens left. How're you going to decide which to transform into?" Ruby asked, eager to see what the last four aliens can do, with Naruto looking at the watch.
"Since there are four left, I figured we could each choose whichever one we want to see next." Said Naruto, making the girls nod wanting to see what the last four can do.
Once the watch recharged, Naruto cycled through the last four aliens to decide which one he'll transform into next.
"Hm, this one looks like it has wings too, but different than Big Chill's. Let's see how fast he is compared to him." Naruto said before slamming the dial down as he began transforming.
Feeling the watch sink into his wrist, Naruto felt another layer of skin forming over his body as his fingers merged together onto two longer ones on his hands, while feeling his feet get a similar shape to Big Chill's, along with growing a tail. With him then feeling something growing out from under his arms and sides, as well as a large object growing from his forehead, with the transformation soon being complete.
Once the transformation finished, the group saw what alien Naruto turned into this time, seeing he was a red, humanoid manta ray-like alien with blue eyes, black outlines on his face, yellow horns extending from his nose, gills underneath his arms, yellow patagia, and two black lightning bolt-like stripes coming down from his shoulders to the dial on his chest.
"This guy definitely looks weird, hard to tell if he belongs in the sky or the water." Said Naruto with his voice being mix between a high and low-pitch, while looking himself over, not sure if he's a flyer or swimmer.
"Maybe…both?" Tamago suggested upon seeing he had gills along with his wings, thinking he could fly and swim.
"Well only one way to find out." Naruto replied before raising his arms up and flapping his wings as he shot off into the air.
"Woah! That's way faster than Big Chill was!" Said Yang in surprise and amazement at how fast Naruto was.
"Yeah, he may be like a flying version of Fasttrack!" Ruby said, also amazed, before they were further shocked at hearing a loud boom.
"Did he just…" Taiyang said in disbelief at what Naruto just did.
"The kid just went supersonic." Jiraiya stated, looking at Naruto with wide eyes that he just created a sonic boom with how fast he was flying.
Even more so with how he was effortlessly moving and turning in the air before he dived back down and into the lake only to burst out a moment later. Though the group was further shocked when Naruto fired blasts of blue energy out of his eyes and tail, hitting several trees and destroying them. With the transformed Uzumaki then landing effortlessly back on the ground with a grin on his face.
"That was awesome! I don't think I could have gone that fast as Fasttrack or have that much control with my speed! And I could even breathe underwater like Ripjaws, while firing those lasers!" Naruto said in amazement.
"No kidding, you could fly faster than any Airship on Remnant with this alien!" Tamago said, not believing all the abilities these aliens had and what they could do.
"You definitely took off like a jet…ray! Get it, jet ray?! With your speed and you look like a manta ray!" Yang said with a grin, making the twins and Ruby look at her dryly before Naruto began thinking it over.
"Huh…you know what, I like it. This guy is now Jetray!" Said Jetray, liking the name for this alien before the dial began beeping and flashing red as he transformed back into Naruto.
"You can have the next one, Rubes." Yang said once the watch recharged, with Tamago nodding in agreement.
"Yeah, you can choose the next alien." Added Tamago, making Ruby grin and rush up to Naruto to look at the remaining aliens.
"Hmmm, ooooh how about this one!" Ruby said, with Naruto stopping on an alien that he had a hard time figuring out what they looked like.
"Okay." Replied Naruto, slamming the dial down and began transforming.
With the transformation feeling strange as Naruto instead felt like his entire body was being covered in a suit, only he felt it changing his body into becoming more malleable and fluid-like. With it not taking long before the transformation was completed.
With the group seeing that the alien Naruto transformed into had a black exterior with green stripes that resemble circuitry all over him. While his front torso was white and the dial was on his chest.
"Uh…yeah, I'm completely lost on what kind of alien this is." Naruto stated, the circle on his head flashing as he spoke, along with sounding like he was talking through a speaker.
"Maybe he's like Grey Matter and he's…really smart." Said Tamago, just as confused.
"Well he looks like a giant blob, let's see if he can take a hit." Yang said walking up to Naruto and punched him, with her fist going right through him.
"Seriously?" Said Naruto, the circle turning into a half one to express his annoyance, before to everyone's surprise Naruto's body began transforming and seemingly merging with Yang.
"What the hell?!" Said Yang at seeing Naruto's alien body covering her before they were further shocked when he began shrinking down until he was covering just Ember Celica.
"What the hell?" Yang said again, watching with wide eyes as Ember Celica began transforming from just her gauntlets into larger and more powerful looking gauntlets that spread up to cover her forearms and as well as having large barrels at the end of each of them.
"Did he just…merge with your gauntlets?" Taiyang asked in surprise, with the blonde girl nodding slowly.
"I…think so, and it looks like he improved them." Replied Yang before aiming at a tree and throwing a punch at it.
With everyone being shocked when rather than a shot being fired at the tree, a green laser blast was fired instead, blasting straight through the tree along with several others behind it. Looking at her gauntlets again, Yang went up to another tree and punched it as hard as she could. With the tree being sent flying out of the ground, as they all looked on with wide eyes.
"…Really, really improved them." Yang muttered before jumping slightly when Naruto's head emerged from her left gauntlet.
"Not improved, but rather an Upgrade!" Said Upgrade as he removed himself from Ember Celica, which returned to normal.
"You can merge with technology and upgrade them to be even stronger." Said Tamago in shock and amazement, knowing how powerful such an alien could be.
Before Upgrade could respond, everyone winced when Ruby let out a loud squeal and tackled Upgrade while looking at him with stars in her eyes.
"This is my favorite alien! No question, it's so amazing! Attaching yourself to weapons and any technology while making them even stronger! Just imagine everything you could upgrade, imagine if you absorbed a lot of different weapons and then attached yourself to someone like a suit! And then they could use all those weapons at once!" Said Ruby, panting heavily while looking at Upgrade with wide, excited eyes, which made the transformed alien a little nervous.
"Um…ye-yeah s-sure Ruby, b-but c-could you please get o-off me?" Upgrade asked nervously, which only grew when Ruby started moving her hands all over him.
"I must find out how this alien works, is it a machine, organic, techno-organic! I have to know to see if I could replicate it!" Ruby said before she was grabbed by Yang, who pulled her away.
"Easy there little sister! You can feel Naruto up later, but give him some space alright!" Said Yang with a smirk, as the ravenette froze before blushing in embarrassment at realizing what she was doing.
"I-I-I'm-I'm s-s-s-s-so-so-sorry, N-Na-Naruto!" Ruby stuttered while pulling her hood up to hide her face, while Upgrade got up before hearing a familiar beeping as he transformed back into Naruto.
"I-it's f-fine R-Ruby. I-I know you're j-just really excited at wh-what Upgrade can do." Replied Naruto.
"Maybe hold off on using Upgrade for a while." Tamago muttered to her brother in annoyance, not wanting Ruby to have her hands all over him like that again.
"They are growing up so fast." Jiraiya said, while wiping a fake tear away at how Naruto already had girls all over him, while Taiyang was horrified at how his innocent, sweet, and far-too-young-to-date daughter was just on top of a boy and touching him like that.
Even if it's one he trusted and he was an alien at the time, it still horrified Taiyang that Ruby would be so eager to do that!
"S-so, who wants to choose the next alien?" Naruto asked once the watch recharged looking between his sister and Yang, who traded a look before Yang stepped back.
"You can go next Tamago, after all, you wanna save the best for last." Said Yang with a smirk, with the albino rolling her eyes before walking up to her brother as he pressed the button and cycles to the last two aliens.
"…This one looks kind of cool, let's see what he is." Tamago said while pointing to the alien that looked like it was floating, kind of like a ghost, with the whiskered blonde nodding in response before slamming the dial down as he began transforming.
Naruto felt his body becoming extremely thin, to the point he felt like he was just a skeleton, before feeling his legs vanish and be replaced by a tail-like wisp. Before feeling cracks form across his body until one opened up on his head revealing a single eye as the transformation was finished.
The group looked at the alien Naruto had transformed into, seeing it was a phantom/ghost-like alien with a gaseous appearance and claw-like hands, and grey skin with black lines running all over him, along with a single pink eye with a black pupil. With the dial actually being underneath his skin and peeking out on his lower left chest.
"Uh, Naruto, are you alright?" Tamago asked while looking at her brother, who looked at himself.
"I feel…weird." Said Naruto, his voice coming out with a faint and whispery tone, feeling strange as this alien.
"Yeah, cause you're kind of uh…a ghost, like a Geist." Ruby said, seeing that Naruto's transformation resembled a Geist Grimm.
"One things for sure, I definitely don't see this guy being the life of the party!" Said Yang with a grin, only to stumble back when Naruto suddenly got in her face.
"Boo!" Naruto said before laughing as Yang stumbled back.
"I don't know Yang; do you feel alive now?" Said Naruto while floating down in front of her, making Tamago and Ruby frown at how he as acting.
"Okay, that's not funny Naruto, Yang was just making a joke." Tamago said, only to get slightly worried when Naruto turned towards her.
"Oh I know, so was I. No need to get freaked out over it sis. After all, I'm the one that does the freaking out." Naruto said before floating through her, making Tamago shiver at the sudden cold sensation before he saw how everyone was looking at him.
"Ah come on, what's the matter with you all? You're acting like you've seen a Ghost…freak!" Said Ghostfreak before laughing lowly before he began flying around.
"Is he like…Rath? Not really acting like himself?" Ruby asked nervously, with Yang and Tamago frowning as they watched Ghostfreak.
"I heard of Ectonurites and their reputation of being rather twisted, but this is a complete 180 to how Naruto normally is." Jiraiya muttered under his breath to Taiyang, for once not feigning ignorance.
"Yeah, while Naruto has always been rather mischievous, he was never cruel in his pranks." Taiyang replied, also concerned about this change, especially with his eldest daughter taking the brunt of it.
Before silently agreeing that for now, they won't do anything. But they will definitely keep a close eye on this transformation whenever Naruto uses it.
"He better be, cause he's just acting like a dick right now." Yang said in response to Ruby's question, not liking Ghostfreak's idea of a "joke".
"Let's just hope he turns back soon." Said Tamago, getting a bad feeling from Ghostfreak aside from his appearance.
Thankfully, it wasn't long before Ghostfreak turned back into Naruto, who shook his head and looked himself over.
"That was just…creepy." Naruto said, feeling creeped out from being Ghostfreak.
"And…sorry for that, I really didn't mean to do any of that stuff." Naruto said while looking at the girls apologetically, which they waved off.
"It's fine, it was just Ghostfreak messing with us, not you." Yang replied, not angry at her friend for what Ghostfreak did.
"Yeah, but do you think you could…limit using him?" Questioned Ruby, unable to deny that Ghostfreak made her nervous.
"No complaints here." Tamago added, also preferring if he limited using Ghostfreak.
"Yeah, I'll do my best." Said Naruto, not wanting to transform into Ghostfreak either, but also figured he may have to use him for certain situations as well, whether he liked it or not.
Waiting for the watch to recharge, Naruto activated it and went to the last alien there was before looking at Yang.
"Like you said Yang, saving the best for last." Naruto stated with a smirk before slamming the dial down and began transforming.
Naruto felt his body splitting apart and several objects growing out of it, that covered his entire body and his head. Before feeling six objects emerge from his back as he then ripped open the object covering his head, while feeling his legs split apart into five separate ones as the transformation was soon completed.
The group saw the alien Naruto transformed into was a humanoid plant with green skin, one blue eye in the middle of his face, two secondary eyes on his shoulders, five vine-like legs, four long fingers on his hands, flytrap-shaped flaps with teeth covering his head, and pods on his back, and the dial on his chest.
"Naruto, are you alright?" Jiraiya asked, since Florauna were usually savage in nature with little intelligence, outside of a few exceptions that were peaceful.
And after what happened with Rath and just recently with Ghostfreak, it was best to be safe rather than sorry.
"Yeah, but now I'm a plant. Just great." Said Naruto while hearing that his voice now sounded aged and gravelly, before looking himself over at what he turned into.
"Hey, you always had a green thumb, now the rest of you simply matches!" Yang said with a grin, making Naruto, Tamago and Ruby sigh.
"You're never going to stop, are you?" Tamago asked rhetorically, with the blonde brawler shaking her head.
"Nope! And if there are more aliens, then I'll probably be getting even more material!" Replied Yang.
"Let's just see what this guy can do." Naruto muttered while looking himself over before throwing his arm out, watching as it extended and wrapped around a tree before sharp thorns emerged and impaled the tree.
"Nice." Naruto said with a smile before he leapt into the air, putting his vine legs together like a drill as he began spinning around at high speeds, digging right into the ground much to everyone's amazement.
"Hey, you're a plant not a mole!" Yang said into the tunnel.
"Who're you talking to? Cause I'm over here." Naruto said as he suddenly emerged from a tree, while his entire body was the same color as the tree, surprising the group.
"Okay, so stretchy limbs, growing thorns, tunneling underground, merging with other plants, and camouflage." Said Ruby as she listed everything this alien can do.
"That's not all, let's see what these things can do." Said Naruto while grabbing the pods on his back and throwing them into the air, watching as some exploded after a few moments, others released clouds of smoke, and the remaining ones released more vines.
"And pods that can do all kinds of different things. You're like a walking, talking jungle monster." Tamago stated while looking at her brother.
"Jungle monster, huh. I think I prefer…Wildvine!" Said Wildvine as he extended his arms again before the dial began beeping as he turned back into Naruto.
"And that makes lucky number ten!" Yang said as Naruto's now tried out all his aliens to see what they can do and named them all.
"And that means we need to get going now. We still have a ferry to catch." Said Jiraiya while motioning them all to get back in the Rust Bucket, with the kid nodding as they went back to the RV.
Though the four smiled at each other, knowing that the road trip just got a lot more exciting.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see several reactions from different characters along with the last time an alien was on Remnant and the impact they left on several characters, if you haven't guessed it's Vilgax who was there last (and given how Classic Vilgax was basically the boogeyman of Ben 10, to the point he needed to build a drone army because no sentient beings would work for him he was so terrifying). Then we see Naruto testing out each of his ten aliens and seeing what their powers are, with some problems when he turns into Rath and Ghostfreak, especially the latter as we see some early influence of Zs'Skayr. Before ending with the group heading out to continue their road trip. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
Storm out
