Chapter XI: A Knight Of Shadows.

Last time.

Later, Ship.

"Well Crap." Naruto said seeing Harley hitting Nails off the boat. Batman shot a hook down, and grabbed her as Static, and Naruto jumped off. Static attacked Harley having her jumped around dodging his attacks. He eventually shocked the boat to hit her. Ivy got in the blimp, and started flying in the air, until Allie shot it with her nails. Naruto shot an arrow up, flashed besides Ivy, and flashed beside Batman.

Allie tried to attack the women but Static stopped her. "No Allie.. You'll be like them, and spend the rest of your life running from people like them.." He said looking back to the heroes. "And me." He finished as Allie sighed, and stopped. "Why did you bother coming after me?" She asked as Naruto puts a seal on Ivy. Static puts a finger on her nose.

"Least I could do for a girl from my hood." He said disappearing in a flash of light. "Where did he go?" She asked as the heroes pulled up the women. "Kid's got style." Batman said with a smirk. Naruto looked at his watch before cursing at the time. '6:45.' "I've got to go." He said before disappearing in a tornado of leaves.

6:55, Barbara's Apartment.

Barbara, in a black dress looked at her watch again. "I swear Bruce you're becoming a bad influence." She thought before seeing Naruto run down in a black suit, dark red button shirt, and red pin stripped tie. "Sorry I'm late.. Some late work with Bruce." She smiled, and straightens his tie. "That's alright... It's just you're usually early."

She grabbed his hand before walking inside. "I've got the food ready, and dad called saying he'll be a little late from traffic." She replied as they set the table with chicken, and rice. Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang, and Barbara let James in. "Hello sir." Naruto greeted as James shook his hand. "You're Naruto right?"

Naruto nodded, before James glanced at Barbara. "I thought your friend Kara's boyfriend was named Naruto?" He said as Barbara stiffened at that. "Crap.. I forgot I told dad about Naruto before getting with him." She thought before Naruto chuckled. "That's my brother Arashi.. He likes mixing us up to get me in trouble." Sitting down, they made small talk, until Barbara went to get desert.

"So.. Where do you work at exactly?" James asked as Naruto nodded. "I'm currently working for Bruce Wayne as his assistant." Nodding James puts his hands on the table. "Good, good... Now let me make one thing clear." Naruto raised an eyebrow as James picked up his gun. "You hurt her.. And I'll make sure you get put in the worst prison I can think of." Naruto smiled nervously as he nodded.

"Don't worry sir.. I wouldn't think of doing anything that'll hurt her." He replied as Barbara came back with chocolate cake. "I'm so glad you're getting along." She said putting a piece on Naruto's plate not noticing her dad mouth to Naruto. "I'll hold you on that." James looked to Barbara as she sat down.

"How are you holding up in college?" Barbara smiled as she rubbed the back of her head. "Some classes are a little harder to manage time wise.. They just gave me a lot of classes." She replied taking a bite of her cake. "But I am doing well in them.. Like I said it's just they're at different times so I have to get used to that."

"I'm sure you'll get used to them Barbara." Naruto said smiling as she smiled back. "Are you in college Naruto?" James asked staring at him. "I went to community college early on.. But Mr. Wayne keeps me busy so I'll need to work around that." Nodding James continued. "What do your parents do?"

Naruto smiled sadly. "My birth parents died shortly after I was born, and my godfather is an Author, and my godmother's a Doctor." James nodded at that. "I'm sorry to hear about your parents.. If I don't mind asking this, but how did they die?" Naruto sighed before explaining. "They were killed.. They did catch the guy when I was fifteen." He explained before taking a drink and they continued making small talk. "So.. Where did you two meet?" James asked as Barbara glanced at Naruto.

"We met shortly after I started working with Mr. Wayne.. Barbara was visiting for a school project, and we hit it off after that." Naruto explained as James nodded. "Ok.. Any plans for the future?" Naruto thought for a moment before explaining. "I was hoping to go into politics.. Maybe become a Governor."

"Any back up plans?" Naruto nodded again. "Yes.. I took a few writing classes so maybe an Author or a Teacher." Barbara smiled as they finished with desert. Suddenly James phone went off, and he answered it. "Hello.. Ok I'll be there soon." He said with a sigh before turning to Naruto, and Barbara. "Sorry.. They need me down at the precinct. It was nice meeting you Naruto and thanks for the meal you two. Have a good night." He said getting up, grabbing his jacket, and left.

"I think that went well." Barbara said as Naruto nodded. "Yeah.. Better then I thought it would be." He said getting up, and taking the plates to the kitchen.

A Few Weeks Later, Dakota. Virgil, And Allie at A Laboratory.

Allie had wires hooked up to her as she concentrated. After a moment, her hair, and skin turned to normal. "I did it! I can control it at will now." She said as the Doctor an Asian man took the device off her, and her parents hugged her. "Dr. Chen says my treatments are going so well I'll lose the ability completely." Virgil hopped off the table he was on, and smiled.

"You're giving hope to a lot of bang babies Allie." She smiled at him. "Yeah.. I was lucky to get in this program, and it's all being paid for by Wayne Industries." Suddenly Naruto in his suit walked in with another man with short black hair, in a black suit, white undershirt, and black tie. "Mr. Wayne hello." Allie greeted as Virgil stared wide-eyed at Naruto.

"How's our patient?" Bruce asked walking over to Allie who smiled. "I'm doing great, this is my friend Virgil Hawkins." She greeted introducing Virgil. "Nice to meet you.. This is my assistant Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto smiled as he shook Virgil's hand. "Hello nice to meet you." Soon all three of them walked outside. "It's nice of you to pick up the tab for all of this." Virgil said as they walked down to the exit.

"I hear she had a tough time with her condition, but I think she's earned some trust.." Bruce said before Alfred wearing a hat came up. "Sir.. The car is ready." Bruce nodded before turning to the shocked teen. "And she's not the only one." He finished, as he, and Naruto walked out as Virgil smiled.

Now.

Camelot, 542 A.D. (1.)

An army was attacking as a woman with black hair in a white dress, in a purple cape, and a beaded belt was sitting on a horse clutching a necklace. A young blonde-haired boy on another horse came up. "When will I get my kingdom mother?" He asked as the woman looked to the castle. "Soon my son.. Soon." She replied letting the necklace go.

Inside two knights was guarding a door as the army tried to break it down. Suddenly another knight with a helmet came running up. "The King needs you on the South gate." He said as the two knights looked confused. "But we're guarding the gate." One said as the third knight nodded. "I'll handle it." The first two shrugged, and ran to the south gate.

The knight took off his helmet, and showed a young man with long dark red hair, and black eyebrows. He walked up to the gate, and pushed the beam off, letting the army, and the woman in. "Morgaine my love.." He greeted the woman who walked over to him Leaning down for a kiss, Morgaine bit the knight, who fell down as his left cheek, and neck turned blue.

"Morgaine why?" He asked as the woman left. "The love.. or my son Mordred Camelot new King." The knight coughed as everything but him turned red, and slowed down. "Art thou satisfied villain?" Looking up, the knight saw an elderly man in white robes, and a beard walk up to him. "By thy treachery.. Camelot falls this day." The knight looked up to him.

"You wouldn't understand Merlin.. You were not a man.. And never felt the sweetness of a woman's kiss." He said to Merlin who looked around. "A vipers kiss Jason Blood.. From a demon in human form." He said down to the now identified Jason. "All my great dream.. Gone in the name of thy tainted love." He said as Jason coughed again. "And I'm paying for it with my life.. Is that not enough?"

Jason asked as Merlin shook his head. "Nay.. Such swift mercy is not for the likes of thee." Black smoke came up behind him as Jason screamed with a light coming off his body. "Thou are cursed Jason Blood.. Until the day this monstrous deed is atoned for." Merlin said before pointing down at Jason. "To mark thy eternal shame.. I bind thy soul with one from the pit." Merlin continued as Jason grabbed his head.

"Look now.. See the face spawned by thy lust.. See the demon inside." He finished as Jason's started changing form.

Gotham, Present Day At Night.

Naruto, and Batman jumped down on a bookshop as paramedics took an elderly man away. Going inside, they looked around, seeing books everywhere. Naruto turned on his 'Detective vision, and looked around. "I've got two sets of footprints, one in high heels, and another that belongs to a kid." He said as Batman found a book with a torn page.

He was able to read the chapter's name. "The Philosophers Stone?" Naruto walked over before another voice spoke up. "It's a gem from the hills of Camelot." Looking, they saw a man with short red hair with a white streak, in a beige jacket, black shirt, and grey pants. "And the true source of Excalibur power." He finished as Batman puts the book down.

"Hello Jason.. I assume you're not here to browse?" He asked as Jason just stared. "I'm a friend of the owner." Jason replied as Naruto crossed his arms. "The elderly guy? Any idea who would attack him?" He asked as Jason raised an eyebrow. "He's only thirty-two years old." He said as the heroes eyes widened. "What?" Naruto asked dropping his arms. "Why is it I'm thinking this is similar to something else?" Naruto asked again as Jason, and Batman talked.

"I'm sure it's nothing probably just something I saw in a movie." He finished as Jason started explaining a woman named Morgaine La Fey back in King Arthur's time, and her son Mordred, and how she tried getting the philosophers stone so her son can rule Camelot, and failed, and she's still looking for it to this day. "Impossible." Batman said as Jason raised an eye-brow at him.

"You of all people should know better." After a moment Batman spoke up. "Why does she want the stone now?" Jason sighed before explaining. "To resurrect Camelot for her son."

England, At a Castle Museum Night.

"En guard." An old security guard turned around, and saw a blond-haired boy using a sword to destroy a suit of armor. "Young man what are you doing?" He asked as a females voice spoke up behind him. "What all boys do." Turning around, he saw a woman in a purple dress in a gold breastplate with a gem on it, and a mask. "Well he just destroyed a priceless suit of armor."

"Everything has a price." The woman said reaching up showing wrinkled arms. Putting them on the man's face, he suddenly screamed, and aged. The woman looked to her arms, and showed they're smooth. "Let's go Mordred." She said as Mordred followed after her. Walking to another room, they saw a stone chest at the end. "At long last.. Merlin's ark we'll have the stone, and Camelot."

Walking over, and opening it, they saw it was empty. "No.. Where would he have put it?" Morgaine asked as Mordred looked at the chest. "Maybe he didn't move it, but the archaeologist that found it did." Morgaine looked back to him. "Of course but where.." She stopped as the gem on her breastplate glowed. "Jason Blood doesn't he give up?" She looked to Mordred before speaking. "Lets leave a gift for him."

Later Batman, Jason, and Naruto walked in the room, and up to the chest, and found it empty. Jason puts his hand on the bottom, and his hand glowed yellow. "She was here.. But she doesn't have the stone." Batman raised an eyebrow at that. "How can you be sure?" Suddenly the doors slammed shut, and the weapons glowed yellow, and attacked. "Jason the doors!"

Naruto unsealed a small katana, to fend off the weapons. He suddenly heard Jason say a spell as the suits of armor started attacking. "What the hell?" He asked seeing a bright light, and saw Jason transform. He now has yellow skin, red-eyes, and clothes. "Etrigan." 'Etrigan' shot fire from his hands turning the suits in to ash. "I thought I felt something in Jason." Naruto heard Kurama inside his head.

"We're going to need help." Batman said as they went outside, and calls the others. Later, Wonder Woman, J'onn, and Flash came in the Javiline, and the others explained everything that went on. Red chakra surrounded Naruto before Kurama came out beside him. "You have a demon also?" Etrigan asked as Naruto explained. "Kind of.. He was put in me an hour after I was born."

"Yes.. Someone used me to attack his parents, and village." Kurama said as his tails waved a little. "So you've been after La Fey for centuries?" Diana asked steering focus back on topic. "Yes an endless game of cat, and mouse.. I won't rest until her soul rots in the pit." Flash leaned over to J'onn, and whispered. "And I thought Bats was creepy." Etrigan got in his face, and growled.

"How has she eluded you for so long?" Batman asked as Etrigan looked to him. "She has a gem that lets her know when I'm near." He said as Flash whispered again. "With that stench it wouldn't be hard." Etrigan grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up. "What was that?" He asked as Flash started sweating. "Nothing." Flash said grabbing Etrigan's hand.

"Maybe I could try." J'onn said before his eyes glowed. After a moment, he screamed, and collapsed. "J'onn!" Everyone went to him. "Let's get him inside." Naruto said picking him up, and carried him inside the Javelin. "I sense a 'genjutsu' on him kit.. That Morgaine must have done something when he tried to sense her." Kurama said walking near J'onn.

"Can you release it?" Naruto asked before seeing J'onn thrash a little. "Seems like Etrigan's already doing something." Suddenly J'onn woke up gasping for breath. "Hey thought we lost you buddy." Flash said as J'onn held his head. "So it was an illusion?" He said walking to the front of the Javelin. "What were you able to get from her?" Batman asked J'onn as he stared out the windshield. "She doesn't have the stone." He said as Diana sighed in relief.

"Thank Hera." She said before J'onn continued. "Before she ejected me from her mind I heard two words.. Archeologist.. And castle." Batman nodded before sitting in the pilot's seat. "It's a start." He started the jet as everyone sat down. "Keep an eye on the Martian." Etrigan said sitting beside Batman who flew the jet. "Leave it to us."

"He's been tainted.. That's what she does... She show you your hearts greatest desire, and dangles it in front of you like a carrot.. Until she gets what she wants." Batman glanced over to him. "Voice of experience?" He asked as Etrigan stayed quiet. "I've found out that there's two archeologist that are still alive.. Henry Moss, and Harvey Hickman." Naruto explained as he looked at a web site on his glasses.

"The magazine publisher?" Flash asked as Diana looked to him. "You read his magazines?" She asked as he rubbed his head. "I only read the articles." Naruto snorted before replying. "Sure that's what they all say."

Later, Henry Moss house.

An elderly Henry moss walked in to his living room when his dog barked. "What is it boy?" He asked before seeing his glass doors opened. "Going to a desk, he picked up a revolver. "I know you're here." He said before turning around, and saw Etrigan who knocked the gun out of his hands, and growled. Henry grabbed his chest, and collapsed. The dog kept barking until Etrigan growled at him causing the dog to run to the next room.

Batman, J'onn, and Naruto walked inside with J'onn kneeling in front of Henry. "What did you do?" Batman asked as J'onn puts his hand on Henry. "He's in shock.. But he'll be fine." concentrating J'onn read his mind. "But he doesn't have the stone." He finished as Etrigan hits a lamp. "Then maybe Hickman does." Naruto nodded before turning to Batman. "Let me know if you need help." He said before poofing away showing he was a clone.

Naruto, Wonder Woman, And Flash at Hickman's Mansion.

Naruto groaned as they landed. "Harvey doesn't have the stone.. Hickman should at least know where it is." He said as they saw people outside in costumes. "Must be his Halloween party." Flash commented before they went to the guard at the door. "Sorry world saving business." Flash said to the people as they walked past. "You on the list?" The guard asked as Wonder Woman shook her head.

"No we're here on Justice League business." The guard scoffed before crossing his arms. "Sure lady.. So are they." He said pointing to the crude hero costumes the people wore. "Right.." Flash said before the guard puts a hand on Diana's shoulder. "You don't want to do that." Naruto said before she lifted him up, and threw him to the woods on the other side. Soon other guards came out, and were about to attack.

"Wait." An elderly man in a robe walked out, and walked around Diana, checking her out. Flash heard a growl, and turned to see Naruto with his eyes turning red, and took a step back. "How can I deny a goddess?" He asked kissing her hand, and took a confused Diana inside. "I'm with her." Flash said speeding inside as Naruto calmly walk passed the group with one guard putting a hand on his shoulder.

"If you don't want to lose that hand.." Naruto said glaring back his pupils now slits. "Then move it." The guard quickly removed his hand, and Naruto walked in.

With Batman and Etrigan.

"La Fey may not know Henry doesn't have the stone.. And we'll be waiting." Batman said staring thought the window and saw Henry. "I still don't trust that Martian." Etrigan said as Batman looked to him. "I trust J'onn with my life." Etrigan just stared at him before replying. "I'll be sure to leave flowers." Soon Morgaine, and Mordred came in the room, and 'Henry' turned to J'onn. They jumped down in the room, and attacked.

"Burn witch!" Etrigan yelled attacking Morgaine with fire, but she created a shield. "Still bitter my love?" She asked as Batman attacked but his was blocked also. "Mirea." Batman saw J'onn holding out his arms. "J'onn snap out of it!" He was hit by a blast, and hits Etrigan with both going through the wall. "Come, what we seek isn't here." Morgaine said as they flew away.

J'onn groaned until Etrigan attacked him accusing him of betraying them. "Wait.. Leave.. Him.. Alone." Batman said before falling to the floor. "Batman." J'onn exclaimed kneeling down beside him. "Confess Martian.. You let her get away on purpose." Etrigan said down to J'onn who stared at Batman. Later, J'onn took Batman to the Watchtower, and fixed him up.

Batman groaned as he woke up and saw bandages on his chest. "Careful.. You have a concussion, and two cracked ribs." J'onn said walking over. "I've been through worse." Batman said holding his ribs. "I'm sorry." J'onn said as Batman looked to him. "Why?" J'onn sighed, and started explaining. "I know it was fake.. But it felt so real.. And in my heart I wanted it to be real.. I would do anything to bring my loved ones back.. You wouldn't understand." Batman stared down at the floor as J'onn walked away.

Naruto, Flash, Wonder Woman.

Harvey was showing them around his mansion eventually coming to a statue of a woman. "And this is one of my most prized possessions.. A Greek.." Wonder Woman interrupted him. "A Roman copy." Harvey looked to her for a second. "What?" He asked before Flash answered. "Trust her.. She probably posed for the original." Harvey's eyes widened at that. "A model?"

Wonder Woman looked at Flash in surprise as they continued walking down the hall. "Where would I keep a stone of unlimited power?" Naruto thought as they passed a room with a pool. "Excuse me.. I think I found some evidence." Flash said speeding in to the room. "I should have seen that coming." Naruto said as he saw Diana flirt with Harvey to show her the stone.

"I.. I'm surprise she's that good at flirting." Naruto heard Kurama's say as he nodded. "Yeah.. I wonder where she learned that? I know it's been almost a year since she left, but I didn't think she would be that good at it." He replied before hearing Kurama growl. "Kit.. I feel that Morgaine woman." Naruto looked around before catching a glimpse of Morgaine in Harvey's room before the door closed shut.

"Damn." Naruto ran to the door, and heard fighting before hearing a crash in the poolroom. Running to it, he saw a giant worm going through the wall with Diana on the floor holding a small rectangle stone. "What the hell was that?" Naruto asked as Wonder Woman got up, and flew after the worm. "Morgaine turned Harvey in to that!"

Naruto ran through the hole with Flash, and saw people running to the doors but couldn't open them. "Follow my clones out!" Naruto yelled as he made several clones to help the people out. Suddenly, Naruto saw he was in Konoha again. "Really?" He asked before using Kurama's chakra to break the illusion, and cause Morgaine to scream in pain.

"What are you still doing here? Get the stone far away from here as you can!" Etrigan yelled out running through a window. "I'm not running from a fight!" Wonder Woman yelled back hitting the worm again. "He's right! Get the stone away from here!" Naruto yelled out shooting an arrow that exploded in a white substance on the worm.

Diana slowly left through a hole in the ceiling. "Get the people out!"

Watchtower.

The League just put the stone in a vault. "There.. I'd like to see her get through this." Flash said locking the door. "Careful what you wish for." Etrigan said as Flash snorted. "Aren't you a ray of sunshine." Flash replied sarcastically before walking away. "As far as I see the world's safe so I'm going to take a soak." Diana looked to Etrigan with a sad look.

"He doesn't mean that." Etrigan looked to her with a board look. "What makes you think I care?" He asked walking off leaving the others to their thoughts. Later, Diana, Batman, and Naruto were putting boxes in the hanger as Etrigan watched from above. "Flash was right.. There's something unsettling about our friend.. When he stares it's like he's staring in to your soul." Diana said as the others turned to her.

"True.. But I'd rather have him with us, then against us." Batman said before the lights flickered off. "We're not alone." Etrigan said before the lights came on, and a group of demons came out. They attacked them with Naruto creating a bunch of clones, and forming another set of hand signs. "Katon: Karyū Endan. (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.)" Naruto shot out a stream of fire in the shape of a dragon at the group, but they walked threw it.

"Damn." Naruto started fighting them in taijutsu before Etrigan yelled out. "Flash! We need a maelstrom!" Flash turned around to him. "What?" Etrigan grabbed a demon, and threw him away. "A whirlwind." Nodding Flash ran in a circle around the group as Etrigan spoke a spell, and froze the group. "Faster!" The group broke up in to pieces, and Naruto got in front of Diana keeping the shards from hitting her.

"Everyone ok?" Batman asked as they walked up. ""Yes.. But where's J'onn?" Diana asked as Etrigan answered. "He's gone.. As is the stone. When they went up to the vault, they saw the stone was indeed gone. "You pathetic excuse for heroes." Etrigan said pacing. "It can't be." Diana said as Etrigan looked to her. "Oh really your Highness.. I've tracked that witch for centuries.. And yet you've ignored my warning."

SMACK!

Naruto winced as Diana slapped Etrigan. "The truth hurts doesn't it Princess?" Etrigan asked rubbing his cheek. Suddenly, Flash came speeding in. "The Javelin's gone, and J'onn's access codes are still punched in the hanger controls." He said as Etrigan looked to Diana. "Still don't believe me?" He asked as Naruto thought for a moment. "We couldn't take the stealth jet.. It'll take to long to catch up to him."

"Maybe we can still catch up.. Get a lock on the Javelin." He said to Etrigan who raised an eye-brow before opening a portal where J'onn was with Morgaine in a castle. They jumped through and kept J'onn from handing the stone over. Naruto closed his eyes for a moment before opening them showing red slitted eyes, and red chakra surrounding him. He helped the others fight Morgaine, until he heard a scream and saw Etrigan turn back in to Jason again.

J'onn walked up to Morgaine, and.. Crushed the stone. "You fool.. You could have had anything." Morgaine said as J'onn looked at her. "The price was too steep." He replied before Mordred looked up to Morgaine. "Have we lost mother?" Morgaine looked down before replying. "The battle.. But not the war." They disappeared in a flash of light.

Suddenly, the castle turned into London. Everyone went outside, and J'onn looked up to the sky. "My friends I'm sorry." Turning to him, he continued. "In trying to get my old family back.. I almost lost my new family.. Accept my humblest apology... And my resignation from the Justice League." J'onn finished before turning around.

"Wait." Jason said having J'onn stop. "The demon was wrong about you.. If only I had your strength back then.. I wouldn't be cursed to be alone for eternity." He finished before walking off. "Poor man.. I hope he finds peace. " J'onn said watching Jason disappear in the fog." Naruto walked up with Diana, and puts a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure this isn't the last we'll see of him.. We may just help him get rid of the curse." He finished before everyone went to the Javelin.
