Legacy 3
This was easier, but I couldn't perfect the meeting of Ru, and his new tenant. I had problem visualizing their meeting. Once you are done reading please review. Reward the Writer
His heart beat against his chest as he precariously kept his balance on the steal beam. He felt cold sweat drip down his forehead, and he took in deep breaths. He looked down at the pool below, and was reminded of how close he had come to dying. He assessed the damage, and injuries he had. His suit was useless, and Poison Ivy knew how to fight super suits. She might have had experience with the suit. Ru examined himself physically, and found nothing wrong beside the bruises, but that wasn't what worried him. It was the poison floating through his system that worried him. The toxin that had paralyzed him. It could have caused him some serious internal injuries.
"I got it covered," said a familia voice within his mind, "I told you, he would be pissed off if you died."
Ru rubbed his head, and tried to tell himself that his near death experience had created an alternate persona to help him cope, but he knew that the voice he was hearing was simply too real. The rush of energy hasn't been his own, it could only have belonged to the voice. His day's necklace.
Ru left the warehouse with some struggle, the energy he once had fading away. He didn't have the energy to chase after Poison Ivy, and headed for the hotel he had reserved his room in. His body became heavy, and he wasn't foolish enough to travel through the rooftops. He instead walked a brisk pace through Gotham's alley. His suit regained some function after a while, and went into a safe mode so it wouldn't cause him any accidental injuries. He felt stupid when he remembered that he had a AI car. He called for it, and continued walking.
His car intercepted him through one of the alleys as he was leaning against a building's wall to catch his breath. He got into it, and let it drive him to the hotel. He cleaned his injuries with a first aid spray, and changed into a nicer looking set of clothes instead of the damaged nano suit. He arrived at the hotel, and forced a blank expression on.
He parked in the parking lot him, and briskly walked toward the hotel. His legs were hurting when he reach the hotel. He hid his pain, and register at the front desk. Luckily it was a guy who was there, it would have taken longer had it been a woman. They would usually try to slow the progress, so that they could flirt.
Ru dropped on the bed when he reached his room. He would clean properly after a good day sleep. It was morning, and that apparently meant he was nocturnal.
His eyes opened hours later. He returned to his car, and got his forgotten luggages. He showered, and changed into new sets of clothes. He took a seat on the balcony of his hotel. The view wasn't that great, but he sat, and reviewed what had happened to him.
He wasn't a super powered crime fighter, but he did use technology to an extent. His suit, he had gotten dependent on its abilities, and it had costed him. He replayed the battle in his mind, and found himself pathetic.
He was a well trained fighter. He knew many martial arts, but none of that mattered when he faced off against Poison Ivy. Her poison paralyzed him, and she shut down his suit without much effort. The fighters of Gotham fought dirty, and he was lucky to still be alive. He was lucky Poison Ivy didn't finish him off when she had the chance. She didn't find a rookie worth working with.
Ruben chuckled as he realized how inexperience he was against Super Villains, but if there was one redeeming quality about him, it was that he never fell for the same thing twice. He learned quickly from mistakes, and adapted. It was his way of survival. He was Uzumaki Ruben, and everything was Possible for him. He wouldn't lose so easily again, he would not lose again period. He had thought himself on equal ground against Super Villains, but he had been too cocky.
"I'm not surprised," said the familiar voice in his head again.
Ruben was slightly startled by the voice in his head, but he quickly relaxed. He calmed himself, and decided to find out who was the voice. He asked, "So who are you?"
The voice replied with a chuckle. "Very blunt, but if you must know my name, my name is Kurama."
Ruben grabbed his necklace, his father's necklace. It was glowing again, but it soon stopped glowing just as he noticed.
"Done," said Kurama with glee in its voice.
"What's done?" questioned Ru quickly. He took off his necklace to check if anything had happened to it.
"I'm inside your soul now. You, and I are going to have so much fun!" replied Kurama with a wild laugh.
Ruben grabbed his heart, but shook his head. He wasn't exactly sure where his soul was, but instead took his whole body as the container of his soul. He could actually feel Kurama inside him, he could almost see a giant fox inside him, the images just flashing before his eyes. "How?" He questioned. How did the voice get inside him. His father's necklace couldn't have been cursed, but then again Kurama had saved his life. It might not be a curse.
"I just moved from the necklace to you," replied Kurama'd voice. He sounded as if he was getting tired of Ruben's disbelieving tone.
"Was my dad a magician?" questioned Ruben. Was his father a wizard of some kind?
Kurama's laugh echoed in his head. Ruben could feel Kurama rolling with laughter in his mind.
"No," replied Kurama seriously. "If I had to describe Naruto, I would say he was an undefeated fighter... I think he would be the Superman of this world, but no weakness, and unlimited powers. Wind, gravity, fire, lightning, wood, ice,earth, lava, he had all of those element under his control like puppies, need I go on?"
Ruben rubbed his head as he imagined someone like Superman with all those power. He paused on his thoughts as he registered what Kurama basically said. "Of this world?"
"I'm surprised that didn't fly over your head," said Kurama sounding actually very surprised. "You must take after your grandfather. I hate that bastard."
"What?" asked Ruben as he tried to understand was wrong with Kurama. First he praised his father, then he was sounding sour as he spoke about his grandfather.
"It's a long story," replied Kurama. He growled out his next words, "I hate Minato Namikaze, even if Naruto, and I are friends. There's a limit to things I can forgive, but I'll always dislike that man, in fact I would die, and smack him around in the after life if I could, but that's impossible."
"Why not?" questioned Ruben. He paused as he realized that Kurama was speaking about dying casually as if he could come back to life any time he wanted.
"BECAUSE THAT BASTARD SEALED HIS OWN SOUL INSIDE SHINIGAMI !" shouted Kurama. He growled, "But I do respect him. He at least let go of my half when he briefly escaped the Shinigami to visit his son."
"My grandfather did that just to see my father?" questioned Ruben very impressed. What kind of family did he have? His grandfather was able to escape a God, although briefly that was something unheard of.
"I could see that you are very smart, that's good because you are so far behind when it comes to chakra," said Kyuubi changing the subject.
"The energy I felt back then?" questioned Ruben softly as he remembered the rush of power.
"Bingo!" replied Kurama. "It is sad how ignorant you are of chakra, but you definitely have skill, but you also lack experience against real fighters, it was painful to watch your beat down."
"Shut up," growled out Ruben. He still didn't fully believe what Kurama was saying, but he would believe him on the account that he did save his life. "I need to find the people responsible for my mother's condition. I will take care of Poison Ivy later." He could worry about Kurama's presence another time, as long as it didn't hinder him, plus he didn't really know how to begin with the extraction of a soul.
"Maybe you could use a little help this time around," suggested Kurama.
"Find," replied Ruben to himself, and suited up, his suit repaired itself enough to work as a costume, but it would probably need his two uncle's touch to boost his physic again. He left the hotel under the cover of night.
He traversed across the tall buildings of Gotham, and searched for Joker. His first target. The others would follow soon after, but he needed to take out the biggest threat, and he suspected Joker to be the most dangerous of the five. He hoped with a surprise attack he would be able to get rid of the current biggest threat. Osborn would be last since the man had a cleaner police record than a nun.
"Not a bad plan," said Kurama with a impressed tone, "But I'll boost your abilities. I'll control the chakra in your limbs, eventually you'll get used to it, and be able to do it on your own as if you learned it yourself."
"Were you inside my dad also?" questioned Ruben, "Did he learn the same way?"
"Yes, and no," replied Kurama, "Your father, and I didn't see eye to eye until later in on. His father sealed me inside him when he was a baby to stop me. I was known as a demon back then."
"Should I be worried?" questioned Ruben, and continued searching for any low life that could provide info on Joker.
"Nah," replied Kurama nonchalantly, "And you are lucky that I'm letting you learn this way, otherwise it would take a life time, not to mention the terrible chakra control that you would have to perfect."
"I don't know what that is," replied Ruben, and he stopped on the edge of a building when he spotted shady looking thugs. He leaned over, and observed.
"Exactly my point," replied Kurama, and became silent to let Ruben focus on his stalking.
"I'm not stalking," growled out Ruben in his mind.
"I never said that," replied Kurama with an amused tone.
"You were thinking it. I was observing them for information," clarified Ruben feeling slightly annoyed, and then he realized that Kurama was always going to be present in every damn moment of his life if he didn't get removed.
"Relax, I can disconnect, and sleep whenever I want. I'm only helping out of boredom. I waited years for you to wake up, the least you can do is be grateful about it. Your dad fucking made me wait for you to grow up from the moment he realized your mom was going to be pregnant," said Kurama annoyed voice.
Ruben became silent as he realized that must have been in the necklace for sixteen years. He nodded, and tried not to feel bad about how he was treating his new tenant. His dad at least cared for him if he truly left Kurama to watch over him like a guardian angel.
He soon forgot about his guilt when he heard Joker's name mentioned by the thugs.
"Jackpot," said Kurama's voice.
Ruben followed them in the shadows, but he paused when he realized he wasn't the only one following them. On another rooftop across him was another figure following the thugs. The Dark Knight seem to realize the same, and they stood looking at each other for a moment. Batman darted out of sight quickly. Ruben became paranoid, and followed after the thugs in the shadows, and concealing himself further. He stopped when he found the Dark Knight blocking his path.
"What are you doing here Mr. Possible," growled out Batman. He didn't sound happy.
"I see you have heard of me," replied Ruben feeling slightly prideful that Batmam knew who he was.
"I make it my business to know of every active Hero, and Villains," replied Batman with a grim tone.
"I'm here after the organization," replied Ru. Hopefully Batman would make an ally, but that was a very slim chance, even slimmer than Poison Ivy because Batman didn't share territories, and was a lone wolf.
"Gotham is mine!" growled out Batman as if that was all that Ruben needed to understand.
"Not this time," replied Ru when he saw where the argument was heading. "They attacked Enerton, and that makes it my responsibility to end the threat."
Batman narrowed his eyes, and disappeared into the shadows. "Do not interfere with my work, if I lose Joker because of you I will be very angry."
"And he isn't now?" questioned Kurama's sarcastic voice.
Ruben remained silent, and watched the shadows. Batman was already gone, but he would have to be careful. He didn't really know how Batman would go through that threat, and he didn't want to find out. Batman was infamous throughout the world for solving mind boggling crimes. He was the peak of human achievement when it comes to physical prowess, and IQ. He was said to have even defeated Superman.
"Sounds like an uptight kind of guy," muttered Kurama. "Just what we needed."
Ruben continued after the thugs until they reached three cars. They got in, and drove. Ruben followed, but he couldn't keep up the pace without a fully functional super suit. He soon felt the familiar energy flow through his body, and he followed with an even greater speed. His breathing was smoother, his muscles didn't even feel the pressure that he was putting on them.
He soon reached the edge of Gotham. An abandon dock, and Joker was on a boat, at the center of the deck giving out orders.
