Yep, it's another Ask Naru-Crew Fanfic!

"Okay…so how do we work this thing, anyway?" Naruto questioned as the unlikely trio of heroes stood in front of the massive Egg Carrier.
"Not to worry. When Dr. Eggman upgraded me into my Omega Form, he took a precaution to upload all of the necessary knowledge of how to pilot the Egg Carrier into my thought processer. Leave the navigating to me," Omega Sasuke said.
"Heh, Guess Dr. Egghead is good for something other than constantly beating after all!" Sonic snickered.
"Alright…I guess those 'Authoress Deletess' guys will give us the first riddle when we board this metal bird, right?" Naruto shrugged. "Let's get going, then."
O. Sasuke gave a simple nod, and opened up a part of his arm. With a few button presses, a beam came out of the Egg Carrier and landed on the trio, teleporting them onto the main deck of the ship.
"I'll go and get the ship started. In the meantime, we've gotten some more letters to read. Perhaps the fans will have things to help us on our quest," O. Sasuke said, pressing a few more buttons on his arm to make a large screen drop down from the ceiling before walking away.
"Alright, let's take a look," Sonic said as the first letter appeared on the screen.
Greetings, Naruto and Company. If your reading this, you have probably woken from the drug induced stupor I noticed everyone falling into and are wondering what is going on. If you have found Omega Sasuke who I think has a record function, you probably have a better idea what is happening then me. Frankly, this stuff is weird.
Oh, on that note, we have been kidnapped by some crazies.
Of course, my inhuman constitution let me stay up and about, albeit with the motor function of a soggy stick. Linkin Parts put up a good fight before I was hauled away, but ultimately they were only robotic musicians and got trounced hard. But if you happen to find the wreckage where ever it might be laying around you might be glad to know I left some goodies inside just in case.
For Sonic, a little something I picked up from my wanderings called a Buso Renkin. Its a tricky little thing, a form of alchemy weapon with a well thought name of Secret Trail. Given it takes the form of a short sword and your experiences with the Black Knight, I feel you should be comfortable with it. With just a thought, it will let you slip into a sub-dimension and avoid enemy attacks, or even appear to teleport.
For Naruto, I feel simplicity is best this time, and I have no idea what might be laying around after the party. Given your... straight-forward nature, I felt that a Powerfist I got off a Terminator would serve you well. If you don't know what that is, its a big metal glove that really, really hurts things when you punch them with it.
Finally, For Omega Sasuke, I pulled the spec's from some of Robotnik's Metal Sonics and came up with Improved Mecha-Sharingan upgrade. Not quite up to par with the whole freaky eyes you get with killing your closest friend, but I feel you should be able to get all sorts of uses out of them.
Good luck.
Off-hand, hurry up and save us. At least before Kyuubi wakes up. Have you ever seen her after a bender? I would prefer to, you know, still have a universe to live in if someone pisses her off.
With much regards,
Nocturne no Kitsune, Lord of the Last Nocturne.
P.S.
Seriously, hurry up and save us. Prison Grey is not my color.
"Those things should come in handy…but we'll have to tell O. Sasuke to wait until we check out the pile back inside the mansion," Naruto groaned.
"No need, I've already got them," Sonic said, holding said items in his arms.
"…And just where were you keeping those?" Naruto deadpanned, slipping the Powerfist into his pouch.
"The same place I always keep the Chaos Emeralds," Sonic replied, putting the Buso Renkin Emblem on his chest.
O. Sasuke teleported into the room, startling both Sonic and Naruto. "This upgrade chip to the Mecha-Sharingan should prove quite useful…though, it'll take some time for it to become fully intergraded into my neural system." With that, he vanished to the next room.
"…How did he do that?" Naruto asked.
"I've learned that, when it comes to robots, it's best just to not ask questions," Sonic said.
"Fine. Next letter!" Naruto said.
Hi Naruto and Sonic. :) I'm am... well~ just call me Foxxy. I feel sorry for you. I hope you find your friends again. Any I give you a dog that can find any MALE by giving her a piece a clothing or something of said MALE. (.."_"..)
Peace Out Naruto and Sonic
Love yours truely,
W-O-N-S
P.S. Figure out what W-O-N-S mean.
After the letter was finished, Naruto and Sonic waited for the dog to make an appearance.
…But the dog never showed up.
"Huh. I guess A.D decided to use the Master P.C to keep the dog from existing," Sonic said.
"…So a dog that can find anyone that's Male is bad, but a teleporting sword and Powerfist are a-okay?" Naruto scoffed. He shook his head. "Whatever. I think this is the last letter."
Hi Sonic, hi Naruto,Hi Omega Sasuke. I have a gift it is a live bomb hope you like it.
From: Mr. Whatever.
With that, a cartoon-like bomb appeared next to Sonic.
…And the fuse was already lit.
The Blue Blur blew it out before it could explode, though.
"…Well. Good thing that the bomb didn't appear next to the engines or something like that," Sonic said.
"Maybe this 'Mr. Whatever' is part of the A.D," Naruto said, then shrugged and picked up the bomb, tucking it into his pouch. "Ah well, this bomb could still come in handy later."
After the last letter was read, the Egg Carrier finally began to lift off of the ground.
"Naruto and Sonic, I've managed to get the Egg Carrier airborne. Come to the control room so that we can get our first riddle," O. Sasuke's voice said over the intercom.
"Well, you heard the bot. Let's get this adventure started!" Sonic said, pounding a fist into his palm before running off. Naruto trailed right behind him.
"Good, you two are here. While I was installing the new upgrade to the M. Sharingan, I managed to find the first series of riddles stored within my neural system. I shall recite them now," O. Sasuke said. He cleared his pathways.
At last, you three have begun your quest
But it's yet to see if you will be blessed.
Our game begins, so prepare yourself
Or else your lives will be put on our shelf.
The friends with red eyes, in Serenia they be
At the mercy of a wizard in the middle of the sea.
In the Land of Ooo, a pinkette lies
To find her, help from a princess is wise.
These Riddles may seem to be a piece of cake
But for all you know, they could prove to be fake.
But make your choice, or you can say bye
Because all of your friends will surely die.
"And that's the riddle so far. I have a lot more stored, but I can't seem to access them at the moment," O. Sasuke said.
"We can worry about that later. At least we know where to start looking," Naruto said.
"Things will go a lot quicker if we split up. I call dibs on Ooo!" Sonic said. "I don't really like the sea all that much, since I can't swim."
"That's fine. I can walk on the water, so it'll be easier for me to find this…wizard person," Naruto scratched his head. "What's a wizard, anyway?"
"All you need to know is that some of the things that they can pull off would make them
rather exceptional ninjas if they were so inclined." O. Sasuke said. "Just don't underestimate them and you'll be fine."
"Got it! Is there any way for us to get to these places quickly?" Naruto asked.
"I've already set the coordinates even before you heard the 'riddles'. In fact, we should be happening upon the Sea of Serenia right about now. Take a look out the window."
Naruto and Sonic did so, and saw nothing but crystal blue sea beneath them.
"Awesome! You sure this is the place?" Naruto asked.
"Affirmative. Sadly, I don't know exactly where this so-called wizard is located in this sea. We could just float around until we find him, but that could take too much time…and you heard the last verse in that riddle."
"No need. I can find our friends all by myself. You two should just head to Ooo."
O. Sasuke got the closest thing to a smirk on his face. "I figured you'd say that. In that case, take this."
The robot handed Naruto a PDA like device that was all black.
"Once you find the others, press the middle button on this device. It'll send a signal letting me know that you're ready to be picked up. Plus, you can read any letters from it as well."
"Okay!" Naruto said, putting the device in his pocket. "Good luck, Sonic! I know that you can rescue Sakura-chan!"
"Heh, leave it to me!" Sonic said with a cocky grin on his face, giving Naruto thumbs up.
Naruto returned the gesture before leaping out of the window, feeling the air rush around him as he headed towards the water. At the last second, he focused the chakra to his feet, and landed in a crouch on top of the sea. He looked up to see the Egg Carrier warping through a type of black hole, vanishing from sight.
"I'm on my own, now," Naruto said to himself. He surveyed his surroundings…and saw nothing but more sea. He sighed.
"Well, guess I better start looking…" Afterwards, he used the hand-sign for his trademark move. "Kage Bunshin no Justu!"
Within seconds, Naruto called up seven more clones to help in the search. Without needing to be told what to do, the clones simply saluted Naruto and each shot off in a different direction. Naruto nodded in approval at this, and set off to the north.
A few minutes later…
"Hey, boss!" One of the Naruto clones said, approaching the real Naruto. "We found this weird looking island to the Northeast!"
"Good job!" Naruto praised, dispelling the clones. The knowledge of the one that found the island went into his own mind, and he quickly set off for it. With his speed, he was able to find it within a matter of seconds.
"Hmm? There's already a boat here?" Naruto said, finding a small red boat next to the shore. "Maybe whoever was in it can point me to this 'wizard' character."
After traveling a bit farther into the island, Naruto came upon a peculiar sight. On the floor, he saw a wounded owl…an owl that was wearing a blue vest and glasses.
"Hey! Are you alright?" Naruto said, gently picking up the strange bird.
"Hooooo…w-who are you…?" The owl asked in a high pitched voice, coughing a bit.
"Considering the state you're in, that's the last thing you should be asking," Naruto replied. "What happened to you, anyway?"
"T-the harpies…they came out of nowhere. They snatched both me *cough* and Graham out of our boat…they could be eating him as we speak…" The owl said in a sad tone.
"Not on my watch!" Naruto said with a scowl on his face. "I'll leave you here where it's safe for the time being, and rescue your friend for you! I'll come back for you, I promise!"
"Hooooo…o-okay. Be careful, Mr…"
"The name's Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto put the owl down gently before running to the other side of the island.
He soon came upon another sight…one much more dangerous looking. A middle aged (yet very well-built) man wearing a red shirt and blue pants and cap with a feather, was caught in the middle of some rather ugly looking blue women with wings and talons. And they were naked.
"I think he looks too old and tough!" One of the Harpies said. "I prefer my meals to be young and tender!"
"Well, at least this one's fresh!" Another Harpy said.
The man was slowly reaching for something on his person, but Naruto didn't really notice.
"Hey! Back off, ya ugly hags!" Naruto shouted before running into the clearing, much to the surprise of the man and the Harpies.
"And who the heck are you?-!" One of the Harpies said.
"Who cares? He looks like a much more desirable meal than that old man!" Another one said, licking her fangs hungrily.
"He's MINE!" With that, one of the Harpies streamed towards Naruto, talons poised to grab him by the throat.
"Look out!" The man shouted. But Naruto paid him no heed, waiting until just the right moment…
At the last second, Naruto dodged the grasp of the Harpy and delivered a powerful kick to the back of her head, sending her crashing to the ground. Everybody else watched this with surprise, speechless.
"What on earth…?" The man said.
"Grr…how dare you do that to our sister!" The remaining harpies shrieked. They shot towards Naruto at impressive speed.
"Let me even up the odds a bit!" Naruto declared. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Another two copies of Naruto appeared right next to him, then shot of towards two of the Harpies, catching them with a kick and punch to the face respectively.
The man couldn't believe his eyes. A youth who looked no older than his son Alexander was single-handedly defeating the vicious Harpies…and with his bare hands to boot! Not to mention that he somehow made two more of him come to his aid! Was he a wizard…? But how could a Wizard be so powerful in both spell and body?
Naruto's clones had dispatched of the two Harpies with no problems, leaving only the oldest Harpy left. Said Harpy was shaking pretty badly…in fear. How could a mere human get the better of them all by himself?
"C…curse you, boy!" The Harpy shouted. "If…if I'm going down…"
She quickly whipped towards the man and shot towards him, fangs glistening in the sunlight. "Then I'll take him with me as my last meal!"
The man was caught completely off guard, and could only brace himself…
But he received yet another shock when the youth appeared in front of him out of nowhere!
Not saying a word, Naruto connected with a savage kick that broke the fangs of the Harpy as the blow knocked her back quite a bit…right towards one of the clones, who kicked her into the air.
The real Naruto rushed forward, using his clone's hands as a springboard so that he was launched into the air, spinning all the while. When he got up to where the Harpy was, he finished her off with a powerful Axe Kick. "Naruto Uzumaki Barrage!"
He landed onto the ground gracefully as the defeated Harpy crashed into a heap behind him, eyes blank and white. "Heh, that was too easy!" He turned towards the shocked man, flashing a smile. "You alright, gramps?"
"I…I'm fine, but…how did you manage to do all of those things? You took down creatures as powerful as those Harpies single-handedly with no weapons at all! And you called upon more of you to help you! Are you a wizard?" The man asked.
"Wizard? No, but I am looking for one," Naruto replied. "I have a hunch that this Wizard is holding some of my friends captive, so I need to find him and take him down!"
"You mean that my family is not the only thing that Mordack has kidnapped?" The man said.
"You know the Wizard's name? That must mean you know where he is!" Naruto cheered.
The man shook his head. "Sadly, no. I had landed on this island along with my friend, Cedric, in hopes of finding the wizard, Mordack. That fiend has kidnapped both my family and my castle, and I've been on a journey to rescue them. But we ran afoul of those Harpies…I just hope that Cedric is okay."
"Cedric wouldn't happen to be an owl, would he?" Naruto questioned.
"That's right! How did you know?"
"I ran into him on the way here. He's beat up pretty bad, but still alive. You must be the person he was talking about…Graham, right?"
"Yes, I am King Graham of Daventry," The man said. "If Cedric is still well, I must find some way to heal his wounds…"
"I'll help you. After all, it sounds like we may have the same destination in mind. No sense in just going on our separate ways when we're both going to the same place," Naruto replied.
Graham nodded in agreement. "That sounds like a good idea. Thank you for your help."
"Don't mention it. My name's Naruto by the way," The Ninja replied. "Now, let's go pick up Cedric and give this Mordack a beatdown!"
And with that, Naruto and Graham (after the latter quickly picked up a fish hook from the ground) went onwards towards their destination…Mordack's castle, where their friends and loved ones would be waiting.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Sorry for anyone who sent any letters today, but by the time I may have noticed them, I was halfway done with this chapter. I'll add them in the next chapter, though.
And on that note, I think I'm the first to use characters from the King's Quest series in a fanfic on this sight. Huzzah! Feel free to ask Graham and Cedric any questions as well!
Catch you Next Continue!
