Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter and I've gotta say, Season 7...it's simply great. It's got me already creating the plot for season 6 and 7. Also I've paid a commissioner to create something for Mecha-Kurama, I won't go into details but it will be something specifically for the machine. As well as perhaps new designs for Naruto in the future seasons.
Chapter 3: The Beginning of the Legendary Defenders Part 3
The group just stares in shock at the giant blue lion with a done line barrier.
"Is this it? Is this the Voltron?" Pidge asked as he wasn't sure what to make of it yet did some reason Naruto didn't think so.
"This is what's been causing all this crazy energy out here." Keith told the others just as he and the others approach it with Naruto walking behind them all.
"Does anyone else get the feeling this is staring at them?" Lance said, causing Naruto to look at him now wondering if he too is having head problems which Shiro showed a look of a train of thought before he flat out says "no".
"Yeah. The eyes are totally following me." His words fell flat as no one really wanted to listen to his troubles just before Keith runs up to the force field and touches it with no reaction.
"I wonder how we get through this." He said, not knowing how to get through it's barrier.
"Maybe you just have to knock." Spoke the one who thought he was a ladies just as he literally knocks on the force field like a door, and luck would have it, it actually reacts by dissipating and igniting the area around them in blue as they seemed to be amazed unlike Naruto who saw flashes of a machine covered in darkness yet what he could see was a sheathed katana that floated directly in front of the shadowed monster. In the end he came back to reality just as everyone except Hunk said...
"Woah..."
"Uh, did everyone just see that?" Lance asked, not believing what he saw like everyone else.
"Voltron is a robot! Voltron is a huge, huge, awesome robot!" When Naruto heard that, he just showed surprise at the shadowed giant being Voltron tho he wasn't sure.
"And this thing is only one part of it! I wonder where the rest of them are." When he heard that part, his eyes widen all the way at finding out there are other parts before he looks back up at the giant mech.
"This is what they're looking for."
"Incredible."
Spoke Shiro than Keith as they too were amazed by what they saw before the Blue Lion suddenly lowers its head and opens its mouth, terrifying Hunk and Pidge, unlike Naruto who took a step back. Lance hesitates for a but in the end he gleefully enters the machine she he takes a seat in the cockpit once at the head. By the time each one emerged, Naruto was by himself as he stares at the mouth with an unsure feeling yet, in the end, he enters to find Lance at the seat with everyone next to hole while hologram and glowing controls being seen.
"OK guys, I-I feel the need to point out, just so that we're all, y'know, aware. We are in some kind of futuristic alien cat head right now." Spoke Hunk who realized the most of how the hell they ended up in this thing.
"Whoa, did you guys just hear that—" Naruto just stops listening to him as he looks around, feeling quite uncomfortable for some reason as if he shouldn't be in this giant thing yet, in the end, he has no choice but to stay at the Blue Lion suddenly stands up, causing Naruto to stumble a lot just as the lion and roars, gaining a small scream form both Hunk and Pidge scream.
"OK. Got it. Now let's try this." Lance said just as Naruto starts to walk towards them.
"Uh Lance, shouldn't we—" He couldn't even finish after pressing the controls and causing the beats to smash out of the cavern which it proceeds to take off flying, doing somersaults and wild turns in the air, all the while currently having his back against the door was a terrified Naruto.
"LANCE!" Naruto shouted herald fell to death esrs due too everyone holding onto Lance's seat with both Hunk and Pidge screaming in his ears.
"YOU ARE. THE WORST. PILOT. EVER!" Keith shouts at Lance, trying to hold on for dear life just like the others while Naruto was in the back, being hit by the force of the gravity which he couldn't stand up or move from where he was laying.
"Isn't this awesome?!" Lance asked, showing a smile as it started to slow down which a shoe was thrown into the back of Lance's head, gaining an "ow" which he turns to find Naruto sitting at the back door with anger.
"YOU COULDN'T HAVE WAITED AFTER I HAD SOMETHING TO HOLD ON?!" Naruto shouted with great annoyance at Lance who starts to sweat just as Hunk spoke with a very depressed tone.
"Make it stop! Make it stop!" The big man said, trying not to vomit all over the controls.
"I'm not making it do anything. It's like it's on autopilot!" With that said, it suddenly took off towards the sky with its boosters, causing Hunk and Pidge to fall directly down towards Naruto who had a very unsure expression.
"Ah crap." He said just as he was slammed into by the two resulting in the teen losing consciousness.
SOMETIME LATER
The moment his eyes shot open, Naruto immediately sits up before he grabs his head.
"Ow...did I get hit by a truck?" He asked himself just as he heard a voice.
"I thank god, I thought I heard a crack though—ugh—UGHH!" Hearing that, he looks up to see Hunk vomiting I'm a corner while the others we're looking back at him.
"You've been out for a little bit." Pidge told Naruto who started getting up while rubbing the back of his head and he approached the other to stand next to them.
"What did I miss?" He asked just as Hunk met up with them from the corner.
"You know, flying through space, fighting aliens, going through wormholes, the usual." Hunk said, still feeling sick which Naruto wondered more what the hell happened while he was knocked out, more so since they seem to be heading towards some planet.
"I don't recognize any of these constellations. We must be a long, long way from Earth." Shiro daud whoje looking around at the stares from where he stood.
"The Lion seems to want to go to this planet. I think... I think it's going home." Lance said which Naruto's eyes widen all the way, knowing if Shiro didn't know where in space they were then it was true all the while the Blue Lion blasts towards the planet, entering its atmosphere, during that time they huddled closer together from the intense turbulence they received.
"Guys, personal space! Hunk, your breath is killing me." Lance said to the guy who just vomited.
"Um, is it just me or is anyone else having second thoughts about flying through a mysterious Wormhole? Why are we listening to a robotic lion anyway?" Hunk said, speaking the truth which Naruto agreed with.
"Yeaaah, I agree since I was knocked out and didn't get to actually vote." He said, yet they immediately received a retort.
"It got us away from that alien warship, didn't it?" Lance asked the two of them yet Keith was in disagreement.
"I don't know if you noticed, but we're in an alien warship." He told the one who was the pilot.
"Oh, are you scared?" Lance asked with a smile just before Naruto spoke up.
"I got knocked out because of your piloting!" He told Lance with annoyance just as they were stopped by Shiro.
"All right, knock it off! No one's happy to be in this situation, but we're here now. If we want to get through this, we've got to do it together." He told the five of them which Pidge spoke up.
"So, what do we do?" He asked, wondering what the plan is.
"First, we find out where we're headed. Lance?" He asked the pilot who looked unsure.
"I don't know. I'm sorry. The Lion's not talking to me anymore. ... Wait! Wait, wait, wait! Shh! Listen. I think I hear something." As he said that, they could all hear a high-pitched squeal like sound.
"I'm hearing it, too." Keith said just as Hunk spoke up in agreement.
"It's, uh—It's kind of a—a high-pitched squeal?" It was by than they all realized what it was as Lance let one loose, and it was just horrible as the smell stank up the entire room while they try hard not to have their noses disgust the smell.
"Come on, Lance!" Shiro, Keith, and Naruto shout just as the smell triggered another vomit but this time he doesn't it on Lance's pants, gaining a shout of "HUNK!".
"Guess I'm still a little sick!" He told the now eyebrow twitching pilot.
"There's a Castle up ahead." He said, wanting to change or clean his pants as fast as possible while they all see with amazement that the Blue Lion was approaching the Castle of Lions and the Castles reactivates just as the Lion lands in the courtyard. It was by than Naruto felt that familiar sensation again when they found the blue lion.
"Keep your guard up." Shiro said, alerting the entire group.
"Something wrong?" Pidge asked the one in charge who answers.
"My crew was captured by aliens once. I'm not going to let it happen again." He told the five while they made their way out and about on the castle grounds, it was by then that the Blue Lion stands up, startling everyone.
"Oh no! Oh no! I knew it was going to eat us! No!" Hunk shouted yet Naruto didn't understand why a mechanical machine would eat a flesh and blood human. In the end, they watched the Blue Lion roar, causing the doors of the castle to open. Seeing this, Hunk cowers behind Shiro until the doors finish opening.
"Oh, the door is open. Guess I was wrong about you." Hunk said, while they all began moving which they enter the eerie silenced area.
"Hellooo?" Hunk said loudly, gaining an echo in the emptiness while everyone just stares at him, startled which he just shrugs just as they went back to business.
"From the size of the Lion, I expected these steps to be bigger." He said, not realizing this area wasn't for the lions just as a beam of light appears above them, gaining gasps just as a robotic voice was heard.
[Hold for identity scan.]
"What?" Pidge said with shock while Shiro wanted answers.
"Why are we here? What do you want with us?" He demands as a light scanned them all while Crystal torches begin to light up a path for them to walk through.
"This just gets weirder and weirder." Naruto commented as they move forward, during which more and more crystal torches ignite to lead them deeper inside the castle with Hunk repeating "Hello" until they finally make it inside some chamber.
"Where are we?" Lance asked the question that only one could answer.
"It's some kind of control room." Pidge said while Naruto approached some object in the center, slowly who moves his left hand to place on it just as the others were looking around and almost immediately blue lines appeared which he takes his hand away and turns just like the others towards two pods that held bodies.
"Are these guys... dead?" Hunk asked while hiding behind the control panel of sorts which almost immediately one of the sleep pods open, revealing a female who instantly awakens.
"Father!" As she shouted that, she falls forwards weakly which Lance immediately catches her in his arms.
"Hello." When Naruto heard that tone, he immediately facepalms.
"Not again." He, Hunk, and Pidge muttered at knowing what this was all the while the alien spoke.
"Who are you? Where am I?" She asked, looking around which Lance answers back.
"I'm Lance. And you're right here in my arms." He said, gaining her attention in a specific part as well as a certain smell.
"Your... ears..." When she said that, Lance could only respond with a "yeah".
"They're hideous. What's wrong with them and what's that horrible smell?" When he heard that, he showed surprise and embarrassment just before he was grabbed by one of his ears and placed in a restraining hold which amazes Naruto at how easily she restrained Lance, by the ears no less.
"Who are you? Where is King Alfor? What are you doing in my Castle?" She demanded with tie questions which the restrained gave onto s single answer.
"A giant blue lion brought us here! That's all we know!" He honestly told her which surprised her before turning towards them.
"How do you have the Blue Lion? What happened to its Paladin? What are you all doing here? Unless... How long has it been?" She said, stating many things which Shiro tried to call her down by talking to her.
"We don't know what you're talking about. Why don't you tell us who you are? Maybe we can help." He said to the female alien while Naruto looks at the second pod.
"I am Princess Allura of Planet Altea. I've got to find out where we are and how long we've been asleep." Her words furthered confused them as they watched her move past them to the console vid stops to show surprise it's been already activated before she looks at the six with confusion, yet those thoughts had to wait as she had more important things to while placing her hands on it; causing a screen to appear.
"Okay, that's how that works." Pidge said with great surprise at seeing her activate that with ease and in a matter of seconds the second sleep pod opens, revealing another alien who gas is at seeing Lance.
"E-Enemy combatants!" He said, going for a jump kick yet passes Lance who rushed out of the way as he watched him regain balance s d stand up.
"Quiznak! You're lucky I have a case of the old "Sleep Chamber Knees". Otherwise, I'd grab your head like this, wrap you up like so and—One, two, three—" As he said it, the man imitates his fighting moves and snaps his fingers.
"Sleepy time!" With that said, he and Lance get into an argument that causes the Princess to show annoyance.
"Ignoring them, did you find out what you wanted?" Naruto asked while he moved to her side to look at the screen.
"It can't be..." When Allura said that, her comrade turns toward her.
"What is it?" He asked the princess who answers.
"We've been asleep for 10,000 years!" When they heard that, the groups eyes just widen in clear shock as she recalls what happened before speaking again.
"Planet Altea and all of the planets in our solar system have been destroyed. Coran, Father is gone. Our entire civilization..." As she spoke, Naruto could see the clear anger in her face.
"Zarkon!" When she said that name, once again Naruto felt a resonance with the name just like Voltron.
"Zarkon...?" When Shiro said that, he looked confused which Allura continues to speak.
"He was the King of the Galra. A vile creature and enemy to all free people." She told the group with Naruto thinking about the ship that attacked them.
"I remember now... I was his prisoner." His words confused as well as shocked Allura.
"He's still alive? Impossible!" She said yet Naruto places a hand on his chin and looks at the pod.
"You said 10,000 years passed yet yoI look pretty young about our age. Who's to say Zarkon did something like that as well?" Hearing that, Allura just turns to look at him in shock before she looks down now contemplating his words while Naruto was trying to think about that feeling as if theirs something deep in the back of his mind he can't dig into, as if it's blocked by an unbreakable wall.
"I can't explain it, but it's true. He's searching for a super weapon called Voltron." Shiro's words only bring discomfort to Allura.
"He's searching for it because he knows it's the only thing that can defeat him, and that's exactly why we must find it before he does." She told the group with determination.
30 MINUTES LATER
In the time that has passed, she has eaten the odd goo food or moved from her spot but pressed on the controls console.
"Princess, you must eat. It's been 10,000 years!" Coran said yet she simply refuses, not in the mood to eat.
"Man, 10,000 years? That's like one thousand plus ten." Lance said, not doing his math right.
"That's times ten." With his correction, he only earned an insult by being called a "dropout".
"I haven't eaten since breakfast and I'm starving." Hunk said while Pidge told him about how he's continued to throw up.
"Hmm... Good point." With that said, he begins eating the food goo, continuing to eat although disgusted which Naruto just stares at him in disbelief while Shiro spoke.
"I can't believe your civilization created such advanced technology 10,000 years ago. It must have been an incredible place." His words only sparked agreement form Coran.
"Yes, it was... but now it is gone and we're the last Alteans alive." His words only caused the Princess to mourns as CORAN comforts her. It was by than they all hear a squeak from Allura's sleep pod and and becomes happy to find four Altean Mice.
"Looks like we're not the last, after all." She said with a smile on her face at seeing the four creatures, one happy, one shy, another chilled, last one looks plain evil. It was by than that the castles alarms started to blare to life.
"A Galra battleship has set its tracker to us!" Coran told them all while looking at the hologramscreen.
"How did they find us?!" Allura said with shock at the enemy was coming for them which immediately sparked a reply.
"I'm not sure, but I bet it's Keith's fault." Hearing that, Keith turns towards Lance with great annoyance.
"Say whatever you've got to say to make yourself feel better... after getting us stuck on the other side of a Wormhole!" He said while turning towards him, gaining the attraction of Lance who got in his face.
"I'LL STICK YOU IN A WORMHOLE!" He threatened yet immediately Naruto got between them.
"Guys, maybe we—" He was cut off by Keith turning towards Naruto with anger.
"No one asked you to get involved!" Keith said with anger that caused Naruto too take a few steps back.
"S-Sorry..." As he said it, he looks away uncomfortably as he could look Keith in his eyes which furthered his anger, seeing this whole thing caused Pidge to look annoyed.
"Hey, what's your problem with him? He was only trying to stop you two from fighting!" Hearing the glasses wearing one say that, Keith turns to face him with his anger turning to annoyance.
"None of your business!" He told Pidge who glared at Keith yet it was stopped by Shiro stepping in the center.
"Stow it, cadets! This is no time to place blame, it's time to work as a team. How long before they arrive?" Shiro asked while making a definite mental note to talk to Keith after they take care of their situation.
"At their speed? Oh, well, uh, carry the two... I'd say probably a couple of days?" Coran told the man just as Allura spoke up.
"Good. Let them come! By the time they get here, Voltron will be reformed, and together, we will destroy Zarkon's empire!" She told them all just as as Hunk burps before apologizing.
"Princess, there are five of these Lions. How are we going to find the rest?" He asked her which they make their way to the bridge where Allura stands in the center with a Crystal above her.
"King Alfor connected the Lions to Allura's life force. She alone is the key to the Lions' whereabouts." Coran said with a bee of explanation just as she activates the computer, opening up a hologrammap of the entire universe.
"Whoa!" They all said in sheer amazement at what they were all seeing.
"These are... coordinates. The Black Lion looks like it's in the same location as the Blue Lion." Pidge said with confusion, gaining an answer from Coran.
"Look at your primitive synapses firing away in their little brain cage!" He said, giving an Altean compliment.
"Very observant. That's because the Black Lion is in the Castle." Her words were continued by Coran who spoke up.
"To keep the Black Lion out of Zarkon's hands, King Alfor locked it in the Castle. It can only be freed if the other four Lions are present." Coran said, marking down two so far they have.
"As you have found, the Lions choose their pilots. It is a mystical bond and cannot be forced. The Quintessence of the pilot is mirrored in his Lion. Together, they form something greater than science can explain." With those words, she sends the Black Lion hologram towards Shiro.
"The Black Lion is the decisive head of Voltron. It will take a pilot who is a born leader and in control at all times, someone whose men will follow without hesitation. That is why, Shiro, you will pilot the Black Lion." Once that was said, she than proceeds to moves the Green Lion's hologram towards Pidge.
"The Green Lion has an inquisitive personality and needs a pilot of intellect and daring. Pidge, you will pilot the Green Lion. The Blue Lion—" She was cut off by Lance speaking up.
"—Whope, hold up, let me guess: Takes the most handsome slash best pilot of the bunch?" Her words caused Allura, Naruto, and Pidge to look at him with annoyance before the Princess continues.
"The... Yellow Lion is caring and kind." As she spoke, the Princess sends the hologram Yellow Lion towards Hunk, it was by that time Naruto realized something which caused him to feel happy yet also sad.
"Its pilot is one who puts the needs of others above his own. His heart must be mighty. As the leg of Voltron, you will lift the team up and hold them together." Her words only caused Hunk to point at himself questionably.
"The Red Lion is temperamental and the most difficult to master. It's faster and more agile than the others, but also more unstable. Its pilot needs to be someone who relies more on instincts than skill alone. Keith, you will fly the Red Lion." Her words sparked outrage.
"What? This guy? Why not Naruto?!" He asked, causing Keith to glare at him which he returns, it was by than that Shiro had realized that Naruto was left out of it as their were only five lions and glances to see Naruto just standing their, watching in silence as he backed away from the main group with a sad smile on his face.
"Unfortunately, I cannot locate the Red Lion's coordinates yet. There must be something wrong with the Castle. After 10,000 years, it... might need some work." After saying that, Coran spoke up.
"Don't worry, we'll find it soon. They don't call me "The Coranic" for nothing. It's because it sounds like "mechanic." So... Coranic, mechanic. It's not—It doesn't sound... exactly like it. It's similar." His words only gained an annoyed look from Keith just as they watched and heard the hologram Lions roar and charge together, forming Voltron.
"Once all the Lions are united, you will form Voltron, the most powerful warrior ever known, the Defender of the Universe." Her words sparked amazement
"Awesome!" Lance said just before Hunk spoke up.
"Wait. Okay, we're going to be in there and flying Lions. Got that part. How do Lions turn into legs? Also, is this going to be a long trip? Because I have to pee. Do you people pee?" All his questions remained unanswered as Shiro spoke.
"You know we don't have much time. Pidge and I—" Shiro stops before he looks at Naruto who looked confused.
"Pidge and Naruto will go after the Green Lion. Lance, you take Hunk and get the yellow one. Keith and I will stay here. Keith, if you locate that Red Lion, go get it." Shiro said, shocking Naruto at hearing he has too go despite him not being very useful except for mechanical things.
"In the meantime, I'll get this Castle's defenses ready. They'll be sorely needed." The princess words were followed up by Coran's.
"I'll ready a pod a-and load in the coordinates so that you can reach the Green Lion." He said, causing Naruto to look down, in a matter of an hour they all took off towards their destinations as they entered space with Naruto sitting next to Pidge, the glasses wearing teen just glances to see Naruto having an uncomfortable look on his face most before they heard it.
[We can only keep the Wormholes that lead to the other Lions open for two of your Earth hours, so you'll have to be quick about your work. The good news is that according to my readings, both planets are relatively peaceful. So, if you do get stuck, they could be relaxing places to live out the rest of your lives. Enjoy the trip!]
When they heard that, both Naruto and Pidge went wide eyed.
"Wait—WHAT?!" The two shouted as they entered through the portal. Watching this entire thing was Shiro and Keith who stood in the courtyard.
"I should—" Keith was cut off by Shiro's hand grabbing his shoulder, causing him to turn to face him.
"What's going on Keith, you've been acting harsh towards Naruto, aren't you guys frie—" He was cut off by Keith shoving his hand away.
"Sorry Shiro, but this doesn't involve you." With that said he starts walking away from the surprised man.
20 MINUTES LATER ON A JUNGLE PLANET
Currently moving in the jungle were Naruto and Pidge, the shortest leading the way while Naruto was just looking around in silence until they arrive at a river.
"Look!" Hearing that, he turns to see a boat with a lion head as a figure head carved into it, seeing this the blonde was surprised just before a moment later they realized "something" was standing next to them and they turn just as they met the gaze of a large sloth like creature that was taller then them. Almost immediately Pidge have a scream as he found himself being carried by Naruto who was shocked at the sloth like creature just staring at them.
"It's just a...whatever that thing is." As Pidge said it, the creature was approaching the boat just as he let him down.
"Is it some kind of Sloth?" He asked with wonder as they watched it motion for them to follow.
"I...think he wants us to get in his canoe." His words only sparked confusion with Naruto scratching his head.
"This day gets weirder and weirder. Giant mechanical beasts that form a giant intergalactic saving robot, an alien princess who's over 10,000 years old, and now this...well, at least this seems more normal." With that said, he follows the animal with Pidge just standing there in surprise before following. In minutes the sloth began pushing the boat while all around them were squeaking creatures and other things in dry land much to the enjoyment of Pidge who noticed that the cave they were about to enter had a lion carving on it.
"I wonder if Hunk and Lance are having as good a time as us." Hearing that, Naruto just shrugs.
"Who knows." As he said it, unknown to the two of them, something was closely following them from behind within the deep waters, as they continued to move, all of a sudden Pidge began too speak.
"I know the Princess said that this is supposed to be my Lion, but what if she's wrong? I mean, she's probably not wrong. She's a princess, but I'm not a pilot, your a pilot, even though... I've always wanted to be a pilot. I mean, I read all the fighter manuals, but never got to fly the simulator. But, hey, I can't be all that worse than Lance. But what if I get in there and it doesn't respond? What if I get in there and it's too big and my feet don't touch the pedals? What if there aren't even pedals?!" Hearing all those concerns, Naruto couldn't help but chuckle which gains his attention.
"You see, my mom always had a fondness of quotes whether it be ones she made or found. She always had one for a bad situation no matter what, or something to give encouragement. If you don't like your destiny, don't accept it. Instead, have the courage to change it the way you want it to be!" After saying that, he suddenly showed a sad expression that surprised Pidge before realizing what's wrong.
"I'm...sorry...about what happened to your mom." Hearing that, he just turns to look at his defection in the water.
"Faulty wiring and other factors caused the ship to crash yet as my mom would have it, she didn't give up...till the end she kept piloting that ship away from the cadets and other personal in the arena, all in exchange for her life." His words only caused Pidge to look down sadly.
"I...wanted to ask, why does Keith hate you?" Hearing that question, his eyes widen yet they return to normal.
"I...don't actually know. You see, after my mom died, for some reason everything started to change with Keith starting to act differently towards. Thats, all I know." When he said that, Pidge only showed confusion.
"Wait, but—" They were cut off as all of a sudden the boat was sent a couple of feet into the air with the three crashing into the water, mere seconds passed with Naruto shooting out of it as he grabs in the canoe to bring himself back on it.
"WTF WAS THAT?! Hey Pidge..." As he said it, his eyes widen and immediately looks over the boat at the water to see bubbles coming up, seeing this his eyes widen all the way just as he jumps into the water making a splash. As he enters the water, he could make out Pidge trying to break free of something yet knew something had him by the leg, dragging him lower and lower towards the darkness of the beneath. Seeing what he could, Naruto dived deeper into the water and grabbed Pidges arm, pulling him closer yet moves past him to grab his leg, finding "something" wrapped around his leg which he grabs it, and with great strength he rips it off, releasing a red substance in the water and with it, a screech could be heard echoing through the water.
Naruto wasted no time as he swam up grabbing Pidge and with all his strength he hurried to the top with Pidge next to him, his right arm held around his neck as he made his way to the boat, helping Pidge on it while he was still coughing out water with his glasses falling off and into the boat just as Naruto was about to enter but stopped completely, what he saw made him forget completely about what was below them.
While this was happening, Pidge was still having trouble breathing but his main focus shifted towards Naruto who was on the edge of the boat, just staring at him with confusion that turns to shock as he blushes.
"What?" Pidge asked with confusion which Naruto clarifies on what he said.
"Y-Your glasses, without them...y-you...you look just li—" He stopped at seeing Pidge immediately grow shock as he searches for the glasses and when he finds them he places them on without another second but that shocked and worried expression proved what he thought.
"H-HOLY—YOUR A GIRL?! THE GIRL FROM THE PICTURE!" As he shouted that, Pidge immediately showed shock at her secret being found out just as realization dawned on Naruto as he grabs his head.
"OMG, YOU'VE SEEN ME NAKED?!" Naruto shouted at realizing that one time back at the Galaxy Garrison when Pidge went to deliver his homework he left at his desk during the exact same time he had started to change. When he said that, almost immediately her face grew bright red at having tried hard not to think about what she saw but that vanished as her eyes widen the same time Naruto felt it.
"Wha..." As he said it, he was feeling something having grabbed his leg and his eyes widen all the way as he turns just as many the tentacles shot out of the water to wrap around Naruto who had no time to react as he was abruptly pulled into the water, causing a big splash as the struggling Naruto was being dragged deeper and deeper.
"NARUTO!" Pidge screamed as she made her way to the side of the boat to see many bubbles rising just before coming up from he water was the corpse of the sloth they were with, having been torn apart with much of its skin ripped off, resulting in Pidge covering her mouth in horror. As this was happening, Naruto was being dragged deeper and deeper in the darkness without a way out, his vision fading with the lack of air as he was being wrapped completely by tentacles.
"Am I...really going too...die...well...it doesn't matter, they don't need me anyways...no one does...I'm just...a waste of space." As those words traveled through his head, he felt utter hopelessness as his eyes closed but when it did, he heard it...a voice...singing.
(Natsuhiboshi, Why are you so red.
Because, I had a sad dream last night. My eyes are red from the tears I've shed. Swollen as I cried.)
"Huh..."
(Natsuhiboshi, why've you lost your way? I'm searching for a child whose gone afar. He can't be found, though I've searched all day. My sad dreams come once more.)
"That song...why is it so familiar..."
As he heard the singing, the darkness began to fade to show a slender, but feminine build woman with fair skin, violet eyes, beautiful red hair that reached her waist. She was in a hospital as she had just given birth to a child in her arms, singing to the child that slept in her arms, wrapped in blankets.
"Mom..."
It was with that thought that Naruto's eyes shot open to show sadness and anger as he began to struggle greatly in the seconds that had passed when he was first grabbed by the tentacles, as he did so he felt something bubbling up from within him.
"I. WILL. NOT. DIE!" As Naruto thought that, his body unleashed a crimson aura that started to push back the tentacles and unconsciously extended his right hand as a light could be seen and with it, words could be heard from within Naruto's mind as he didn't recognize them.
(I WILL NOT DIE, UNTIL I ACHIEVE IT!)
With those words in his mind, from his right hand appears a rusted out katana that suddenly changed as the rusted oozed off of it to reveal a crimson blade. With it, his own appearance changed. Back up on the boat as this was happening, Pidge just sat in the center of the boat, her arms wrapped around her legs with fear and despair on her face on not knowing what to do, that was until an explosion happened where a geyser of water was made much to Pidges shock as she watched someone land on the boat and the one she saw caused her eyes too widen all the way.
"Damn, only a few more seconds and I qwould have been, wait...what did I just do—Pidge, are you ok?" Spoke the alive Naruto who was staring at Pidge with confusion at seeing her shock. What he didn't even realize was that he had tentacles on him but they were slashed off from the actual body while others ripped off, but what gained her attention was that Naruto's has markings in his face followed by his right ear was now pointed. Not only that, his eyes seemed bluer with them also being slit.
