Summary: The H.E.A.T team are on assignment and this time they're dealing with two Godzilla Juniors. It's nurture vs. nature gone crazy especially when a disgruntled artist and a hyperactive ninja (guess who) become parents to giant fire breathing lizards with demon chakra powering up their pipes.
Author's Note: I don't own Naruto or Godzilla the series. This takes place in an alternate universe since I don't know how much damage bouncing baby lizards the size of football fields can make. I've been researching all over the place to make sure this story is believable. My friend and I have also thought up a few running gags to make sure this chapter is both dynamic and funny.
Extra Announcement:I want to hear your opinions on a future prospect of this story. I've set up a poll to see which of the heat team might become Sasuke's sensei. Yes it's a surprise but remember this is an Alternate universe Storyline. Your vote will make a difference. (Please pardon the fact I sound like some politics voting commercial when you're reading this)

Nick glanced up and asked, "So, who wants to take him for an examination."
"I'm not going to touch him." Elsie retorted, "besides I've . . . Got some samples to go study!"
"Wait, wait, I'll come with you." Mendel cried.
"Cool," Randy cooed, "Can I poke him?"
". . . No . . ." Monique chided as she rolled the Ninja off of her, "He might become violent when he wakes up. So I'll carry him, besides, I feel filthy enough as it is anyway."
Kaiju Chaos Kyuubi Style
Chapter 6: Nightmare in a "HUG ME" Shirt
(Flashback: Orochimaru's Lab: Sasuke's having a nightmare)
I couldn't really quite get comfortable. With every squirming movement I made, I got myself jabbed in the opposite direction. Tubes with floating subjects in them lined the wall. If I remember the labels were Human Experiments 22, 23, and 24: Flying Gigan(1), Giant Silver Hydra(2), and Megalon(3). Those failed experiments went insane halfway through the transformation process. Yes I knew what Orochimaru had in mind, but my head was still in a drug induced fog. My vision got fuzzy and all the while I'm lying there strapped to a table face to face with the ugliest bug, ever. It was like someone took a fleshy vacuum cleaner and mated it to a grotesque oversized flea. The thing had to be the size of a horse drawn carriage, no double the size actually.
"How would you like to meet my newest specimen?" Orochimaru cooed, if he's going to coo like that again I am so going to shove my foot up his face, "Oh yes, this fire bug(4) just drifted up onto the beach before the sound village blew up due to mysterious circumstances."
Ha! If he knew I was using that village for target practice with my chidori training he'd think twice about taking all the hot water from the shower every morning.
"I had someone hack few files for me, from a team called the Humanist Enviromental Analysis Team though really I think their acronyms are just a whole load of phooey. Why should anyone be all goody two shoes in the name of science?"
I attempted a glare. I couldn't believe Orochimaru was actually carrying a conversation without talking about me like I was his own personal toy. Really Orochimaru being friendly goes right up there with Manda wearing lipstick and acting all motherly, that's just wrong. I looked back at the bug who waved it's antennae in my face, ugly thing. I looked back at kabuto getting his cutlery ready with the utmost care. What was this, a barbecue? I thought I made a deal to be a guinea pig not a hood ornament. I should've done the smart thing and fought my way out.
"Well Sasuke seeing as you're still awake we're going to proceed to cross your DNA with that of this little fire bug here since its affinity and yours goes side by side in the power hungry department."
"What?" I squeaked they were going to splice me up with that thing? I struggled against the straps but my brain couldn't make my muscles move. Darn, Kabuto was getting better with his drugs.
"Don't struggle Sasuke-kun it's not like I'm going to put the fire bug's body beneath your head." Orochimaru chuckled, pulling out a chain saw with utmost care as its glinting blades reflected in Orochimaru's golden snake like orbs, "I'm just going make sure you're never the same again. Don't worry! Oh and . . . Don't forget to scream my little Sasuke-Kun."
GYAHHHHHHHHHHHH
(Aleutian Islands, Clarity's Point of View)
"Are you sure he's this way Clarity?" Naruto asked; his cerulean eyes shining of fear, hope, and total energy. Either that caffeine boost hadn't left his system yet or the goal of 'get Sasuke' was really making him go haywire.
"Cool it Naruto," I quipped motioning him to chill, "I'm not in charge here remember? Besides you've got to keep a lid on your temper. Remember the last time you almost drown in your own mindscape?" I asked giving Naruto a good poke where the seal laid on his abs that held old Kyuubi in place. Naruto instinctively clutched his stomach.
Bad memories flashed in his narrowed eyes. Sakura put an arm around his shoulder and gave a good squeeze. Naruto squeezed Sakura back. I turned my attention to the flare of Chakra that was spiking like crazy in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I hoped that Sai and Yamato were all right.
"You sure you'll be okay Clarity?" Murray asked as he squeezed my shoulder for the umpteenth time.
"I am, you know I was built to last Murray," I quipped, forced a smile and swallowed a big hunk of worry coming back up the pipes, "The one I'm worried about is Sasuke. He doesn't quite seem like himself anymore."
(Aboard what is Left of the H.E.A.T. Seeker, 3rd Person Point of View)
A blast of flames erupted from the lab as Randy and Monique high tailed it. Sasuke's maniacal chuckling echoed throughout the premises. Nick was busy flipping through a now slime free, "bingo book" when the explosion happened. Elsie grabbed a chair to keep from slipping. Mendel clutched onto the shoulders of Elsie.
BWOOOOOOSSSSHHHHH
BOOM
"Whoa what's going on?" Nick snapped snapping the book shut. Randy and Monique burst through the doors.
"Our flying ninja just so happens to be our mystery mutation." Monique panted, her lungs burned with the effort to breathe.
"Hey Jefe as much fun as it is be reading," Randy joked forcing a chuckle, "What're we going to-"
BOOM
". . . Do . . ."
Nick flipped through the pages of the book. Unknown graphs flitted before his eyes. The questions of Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and Ninjutsu ran through his mind. Again he snapped the book shut. Nick motioned to call his team to huddle together.
BOOM
. . . It was too loud to say "listen up" anyway.
"Okay our mutant ninja is not just a mutation," Nick murmured, "He goes by the name Sasuke Uchiha and he's a rogue ninja who betrayed his village two or three years ago to join someone named Orochimaru."
"Orochimaru is a high class criminal known for human experiments." Monique interjected, "He's one of them?" All eyes fell to Monique, her nervous glance betrayed herself. Luckily Nick just continued on not noticing Monique knew more than she let on.
"Well whatever he is we need to capture him alive." Nick stated, "It's not going to be any different than last time though I'm surprised he's able to do this much damage under the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (5)."
"What do you expect us to do," Elsie snapped, "ground him to his room and take away his sword?"
"Ah . . . I-I have a . . . Idea," Mendel breathed with a sigh not believing what he was saying; "The lab may be damaged but maybe if we were able to detain him. Maybe we could find a solution to his insomniac hallucinations."
(Aleutian Islands, Clarity's Point of View)
"Urgh, Sasuke, where could you be hiding?" I snapped under my breath. Sai and Yamato looked at me like I grew an extra head or something.
"What a troublesome drag," Shikamaru scoffed, "You know Clarity when you don't have your coffee, your little talent dealing with places and people tends to be touch and go half the time."
"Well he's out there!" I pointed and suddenly felt like such an idiot. I might as well say I'm Nar-nar and I like pretty giraffes.
"Yeah but you already told us that for the bazillion time already!" Naruto whined as he ran along on the water like a sugar hyped mental patient. "Good grief you're the only blood hound we got! Couldn't you be I don't know part pointer or something?"
WA-BAM
SPLISH-SPLISH-SPLISH
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled before boxing his ears, making him bounce across the water, "Cannit!"
I couldn't help but be amazed. Something Naruto said in his crazed state made sense; bloodhound. I couldn't tell where Sasuke was. His chakra signal was moving. What was he on a boat or something? Common sense suddenly jolted my foggy brain. Of course, no wonder Naruto's last statement made sense. I know I'm no super-sniffer but I had a good idea who is.
"Oh Jira, Shogi sweetie," I crooned, sounding like such a mom, "Your Papa and I want to ask something of you."
(Meanwhile aboard the Heat Seeker 3rd Person Point of View)
"Monique, Randy Hold him down!" Nick ordered, his hands pressed firmly on the ninja's shoulders. Monique and Randy each grabbed an arm and tugged him onto the table. Sasuke thrashed and kicked. Mendel kept dodging a flying foot to the face while trying to gather samples. Elsie had a pair of tweezers handy to trying to get a black scale out from under his cuticle. No such luck.
"Any . . . way to . . . hold him . . ." Elsie began.
WHAMMO
Monique flipped Sasuke with a flick of her wrist and slammed his torso to the table. He mewled out his pain and frustration as tears rolled unconsciously down a sticky face. Eyes squeezed shut, Sasuke cracked one eye open. Unfamiliar faces started blurring into view. He growled and glared.
"Who the hells are you!" He sneered.
CRACK
Monique tugged his arm further backward almost breaking his shoulder out of its socket. Sasuke lurched back but Monique held firm.
". . . Ow," He monotonly spoke showing no outward signs of pain but inside his nerves were screaming! Monique let up a little but not enough for Sasuke's lips to stop twitching in agony.
"Monique, Monique that's enough!" Nick shouted, "You can let go now he's just a kid not a monster."
"You may think he's just a kid," Monique hissed, "but I know aboutthis boy. One of these days your trusting naïveté will spell disaster."
Entertaining Footnotes: This is just a refresher or just a few clues and hints for those that may be unfamiliar with either Naruto or Godzilla: the Series. I also included a few hints on how Clarity ended becoming familiar with the Ninja World.
(1) Flying Gigan-I wanted to find at least three of the ugliest mutations from the Godzilla series and have them float in tanks as bizarre Human cross mutation experiments. This one was in the intro to Godzilla the series. If you google up the image you will find an ugly thing that looks like a rootabega crossed with a slimy two headed one mouthed pterodactyl. Ugliness at its best I mean worse guaranteed.
(2) Giant Silver Hydra- In Episode 123: Shafted, a giant creature of mutated silver was running around excreting liquid silver boogers that spread, oxidized and turned people into silver statues. It is an absolutely hideous thing when you see it. That's all I can say without giving out any spoilers.
(3) Megalon- Alas another ugly beauty of a mutation found in the intro. It's like you crossed a goblin with a giant humanoid worm.
(4) Fire Bug-This guy was found in an oil well by the HEAT Team and it almost blew up their lab due to mysterious circumstances. It likes natural fossil feuls, fire and taking leisurely walks along the beach where it can attack any oil well in the Gulf of New Mexico, USA.
(5) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder-This is a disorder where anyone who suffers any trauma will relive that trauma via really bad memories that come up as hallucinations. Kind of like virtual reality gone insane.
