READ THIS BEFORE GOING ON:Do not send me anymore messages questioning about why Deadpool is in the story, why X- men is in it, why Marvel, about Naruto killing or ANY other stupid questions when I've ALREADY placed the ANSWERS in a previous CHAPTER! I'm being serious, fucking read the beginning when it says True Mortal In Bold Letters or go find another fucking story because I don't sit, and write my ass off for you people to criticize something I've ALREADY Explained!
You don't want Naruto to kill? Go find a fucking nother story. Don't won't Marvel in? Too damn bad, you don't have a fucking choice in the matter. I don't care if you people send me messages asking good questiones, About the Pairing, the guns, the motorcycles, the stances, the missions, anything I haven't actually explained enough, hell even his civilian even though I've already gotten fifteen of those in the past twenty four hours!
But if you ask me about the X-men, Deadpool, Kingpin, when I've already explained them? Alright, I'm going to say this shit one time, I'm not fucking Comic dumb. I know the separations between Marvel, Dc, Amalgam, all of the comics, I know the lines in the sand, I know the crossovers, I know the fights, I know that their were certain characters, I know there were that many of that character, Don't ask me about any of that!
Don't ask me about Naruto's looks, his personality, why he kills, why I'm not fucking rushing the relationships, about Marvel, about the games and series and movies and references I insert, Don't ask me about them! I won't pay attention to you! Now, I'm going to write this chapter now, for the people who appreciate the story up to the point where it is.
IF YOU DIDN'T READ THAT GO BACK AND READ IT!
P.S, Why Weapon X?:When I started this story I gave Naruto Martial arts skills and Swordsman skills to balance out his long ranged but the way I've used him so far, he's been almost like a passerby of Deadshot and Bullseye with a little Deathstroke thrown in for good measures. To level this out and bring Naruto to where he doesn't seem to rely so heavily on his long ranged skills anymore, I decided to allow Naruto one Mutant Ability.
The ability will NOT involve Wolverine's claws, Adamantium, anything actually related to weapon X. Naruto's ability must be an ability that can be used up close, and though it does not have to have the ability to be used from range it can. The power must be a physical one. Why am I saying this like you can vote, I don't know, you get no say in this whatsoever unless I end this chapter without naming the power(I want it to be Gambit's).
Chapter 11:Problem X
Naruto growled as he glared at the men in front of him."What the fuck are you talking about?" He questioned, his tone filled with rage as one of the men smirked watching Naruto struggle at the bonds that kept Naruto from slaughtering them.
"Ouch! Such a sharp tongue! We might need to do something about that later, but no problems. What I'm talking about is, we're looking to make the perfect soldier, even more so than the so cold super soldier Captain America. But we need someone who's gun smart, sword smart, martial arts smart... And you ended up being our volunteer, and we just couldn't turn you down after Deadpool told us of you 'Epic' battles." The man responded, a smirk on his face that reminded Naruto of Desmond before he picked up a folder, flipping throughout it."You see this?" The man questioned as Naruto spat at him, forcing the man to smirk.
"Of course you do. These are your files from Cadmus, we had to cut a lot of deals to get them. But it's worth it because, at this very moment, our computers are working to select the single perfect close combat mutant power for you before we... gently force you to combine with it... giving that you survive."
"Yeah? Well fuck you, I decline!" Naruto snarled at the man before he spat once again, this time hitting the man in the face with a smirk. The man growled before delivering a solid punch to Naruto's jaw, the latter never allowing his smirk to slip.
"You don't have a choice!" The man growled before straightening his Doctor's coat as a woman entered the room, carry a folder."Is that it?" The man questioned as the woman nodded, handing him the folder before hurrying from the room. The man opened the folder with a smirk, which quickly slipped from his face.
"Something wrong Doc?" Naruto questioned upon seeing an enraged look forcing itself onto his face. The doctor let out a scream before throwing the folders against the wall of the room they sat in.
"It says that you aren't compatible with any existing mutant DNA! That's impossible!" The man called as he slammed his fist into a wooden table as Naruto smirked, cracking his neck twice before turning his attention back to the enraged man.
"So it seems I'm not perfect for your little project. Too bad, so sad... Now let me go!" Naruto ordered as the man shook his head, an insane look coming into his eyes as he stared up a Naruto, a feeling of dread washing over said Young man as the Doctor walked forwards with a sickening sweet smile.
"Let you go? I can't do that..." The Doctor spoke, his eyes widening and closing as his voice took on and insane cracking sound."Do you know how much money we've put into you, even without having you! All the deals I've had to cut, just to observe you! I promised my bosses that you would be a better weapon that even Weapon X himself! And now this! No... If a DNA won't match with you... I'll make one match!" The doctor spoke insanely as Naruto snarled.
"I just met you and I can tell you're off your rocker." The Doctor laughed insanely as he shrugged.
"Oh wells!" The Doctor walked over to where a small microphone sat before pressing a small red button, speaking into the item."Renee? Bring me Deadpool, I need someone to help me... escort our guest to our examination room." With that, he released the button, standing up with a gleeful laugh."I may not be killed for failure yet!"
~Artemis & Roy~
"Wait, are you positive?" Roy questioned Artemis as they stood within Naruto's bar."You sure he didn't just get up, go out, get a mission and do it? Because he did that to me one tim-"
"Roy!" Artemis cut in angrily."When I woke up, he was gone and so were the sheets he was sleeping in, his weapons, armor, everything else was still where I put it!"
"Then there's No way that Naruto left on his own. I want to say Cadmus did this, but they aren't this brave yet. Not after Naruto tore their main base down not so long ago..."
"Then who would've wanted to take him?"
"Someone who wants his abilities? Someone who wants to study him? Someone who wants to... Experiment on him? The possibilities are endless and unless we figure out where he is, and soon... A lot of them could come true."
"Then we'll need help."
"Yeah, maybe so, But I don't trust anyone with this, especially not heroes."
"Yeah?" Artemis questioned as she glared at Roy,"Well it's too late for that, I've already called for help."
"What are you-" Roy's sentence was cut off as the door to Naruto's bar opening before a red headed blue eyed sixteen year old girl walked in, Roy groaning in annoyance."You called in Babs? The Batgirl? As in, Batman's sidekick!"
"It's either her or Batman himself." Artemis ground out to Roy who backed away, his hands held up to show his surrender. Swinging around to the red headed girl, Artemis motioned for he to follow into the manager's office, Roy sighing as he was left behind.
Walking to the bar, Roy spoke to the Bartender,"One beer... I'm going to need it..."
~Naruto~
Naruto struggled as he sat in a tank, strapped down in nothing more than a pair of boxers as multiple needles pierced his skin, screams of pain escaping him and entering the tank. Deadpool whistled as he watched the scene before looking to seemingly nothing.
"What? You expect me to do something? Hey look little kid, I'm all for saving the guy and getting the women but- Oh- OH! You put that finger down you little brat! Where's your mother, because I have half the mind to-"
"Deadpool!" One of the scientists called in annoyance as he stood to his feet before walking forwards, placing his hand on the Merc With The Mouth's shoulder."Deadpool... What are you doing in this room?"
"Oh, well the author needed a fan favorite who wasn't being experimented on and so Deadpool-"
"You know what... Nevermind." The Doctor cut him off with a wave of his hand before Deadpool reached out, placing his hand on the Doctor's shoulder as he had begun to walk away from him.
"The readers have to know Doc, at the beginning of this Chapter True Mortal said that Naruto wouldn't be getting Wolverine's adamantium or anything so... What's with all the sticky needles?" Deadpool questioned as the Doctor raised his eyebrow at him.
"Right... We're further investigating into the compatibility of Project Taskmaster-X as we only preformed small tests before. With this, we'll easily be able to come up with at least one Mutant ability that is even remotely compatible with him. Afterwards, we'll get to work on making the artificial mutant ability inside Taskmaster." Deadpool stared at the man, strangely, for a moment before shrugging.
"Whatever you say Doc, I'm going to see if any of the readers have Chimichangas. HEY KID- Nope, OLD LAD- Okay that's a dude, better leave him alone, OLD MA-... And that's a lady... Man I'm bad at this! Huh? What's that, you have Chimichangas? Then lead the way... And remember that I get them all! You get none!" With that, Deadpool skipped merrily away, leaving the Doctor to sigh as he placed his head in his hands in despair.
Suddenly, Weapon X's new project, Naruto, began thrashing wildly in the tank he was strapped in, the needles withdrawing themselves from his skin. As the last of the dangerous items left his skin, Naruto's head bowed down, his body showing every sign of unconsciousness. Standing up, a woman 'Doctor' walked over to the one who had been speaking with Deadpool, handing him multiple sheets of paper."We were only able to find one power that was even remotely DNA compatible with the subject.
The Doctor took the sheets of paper, flipping through them and finding multiple mutant abilities as well as plans to inject the powers marked with small red 'X' Marks before coming to the final page. This page held one single Name and Power, followed by a giant green check mark. Smiling insanely, the Doctor walked, well seemingly more so, Skipped, to the tank that held Naruto. Tapping on the glass and getting no response from the unconscious master mercenary, the man spoke.
"It seems there's hope for you yet Taskmaster-X!"
~Artemis & Roy~
Roy sighed as he watched Artemis flip through Naruto's, admittedly massive, collection maps."Artemis, we aren't going to find Naruto by flipping through his maps!" Roy called as Artemis swirled on her heels, glaring at him.
"Oh yeah? Well I don't see you coming up with a plan!" The blonde haired girl shot back at him, punctuating each word with a jab to the red headed boy's chest, all of which sent him stumbling backwards into the wall behind him. Growling, Roy knocked her hand away, his eyes glaring straight back into hers.
"That's because I don't have a plan! Why? Because we don't know where Naruto is! Is he in Cadmus? Unlikely, Cadmus doesn't have the chops to do this right now. The League Of Shadows? They may hold grudges on those that interfere but their grudges leave you lying where you stand, we would've found him by now if that had been the case. The Justice League? No, because you would've been either taken in with him or notified! So that leaves the question, who has the chops to do this, and why?" Roy questioned Artemis before the door to the office opened, Barbara entering.
"Sorry if I'm interrupting anything, but I found a clue. Lately Cadmus has been very suspicious, and Batman recently came into the knowledge on why. They were in deals with someone, and that someone payed them a hefty amount of money for a single folder, the folder that held all of Cadmus' information on 'Project:Taskmaster'. The only problem is, our source won't even give out to whom the folder was given to. Our best bet is to find a Cadmus base and search through their operations, see if we can find any clues."
Roy looked to the other red head within the room, taking a swig of his long forgotten, now hot, beer."And just why are you helping us?" The young man questioned Barbara,"Why are you sitting there and helping us without alerting Batman and the League?"
"I just am okay?" Barbara snapped as Roy narrowed his eyes.
"No, it's not okay. I don't trust anyone from the League or anyone associated with them, that means you too. Now, I want to know, just why the hell a hero is sitting in a room with two mercenaries, trying to help them find another mercenary, for seemingly no specific reason!" Roy demanded with a growl.
"He saved my life!" Barbara snapped back at Roy, slamming he index finger into his chest."He saved my life like he saved Artemis', and now I have the chance to slightly return the favor here and now, and I'm not going to ignore it and let something happen to him!"
"Woah, woah, woah, Slightly Return The Favor?" Roy questioned with a frown."What the hell does that mean? You either return the favor or you don't!" Roy exclaimed, Barbara snarling at the red headed young man.
"Saving me the way he did... It's a favor I can never fully return." With that, the red headed girl spun on her heels, placing her hands on Naruto's desk as she stared down at his collection of maps, Artemis placing a hand on her friend's back. Roy frowned, looking away from the two before nodding his head, a sigh escaping his lips.
"Okay... How do we proceed to finding a Cadmus base then? They've gone underground since Naruto's awakening. It might even be impossible for us to do without Naruto." At the red head's sentence, Barbara smiled, swirling around as she picked up one of Naruto's specific map, unraveling it and showing it to the two others within the room.
"As the protege of Batman, we get in very, very easily Roy. I know Naruto likes to plan ahead before a mission and that's exactly what we're going to have to do here because they have this particular building under guard, 24/7, and has at least fifty guards guarding the building on the outside. We have no idea how many are guarding the inside. Now, this is where we're going to have to enter here before we zip line to their blind spot, right about here..."
~Naruto~
Naruto groaned, his vision blurry as five men escorted him with chained hands and feet, one of those men being Deadpool. Said Merc With the Mouth looked into the air, staring at seemingly nothing before he spoke."This is so boring! Can't we speed this along! You know, get to a badass battle or something? The reader's didn't tune in just to read about-" Growling, Weapon X's captive lurched forwards, wrapping his chains around Deadpool's neck, pulling with all of his weight to choke the life out of the other merc."T-That's... ah... More like... I-t." Deadpool choked out as his comrades tried pulling Naruto off of him, their prisoner pulling even harder with his chains.
"Die you mother fucker, DIE! Just lay there and DIE!" Naruto growled, his blurry vision trying to make out Deadpools Choking form. Deadpool grabbed Naruto's chain before sending him flying over his shoulder. Withdrawing his gun from its holster, Deadpool pointed it at Naruto's head before turning his attention back to nothing in the air.
"Now my most loyal readers should I so kindly, A) Shoot my friend Taskmaster? B) Follow after the guards an-" Deadpool's rambling sentence was cut short as Naruto shot from the ground, once again wrapping his chains around Deadpool's neck before forcing him to the ground, banging his head against the hard concrete pavement.
"Who the fuck are you talking to!" Naruto called as he slammed a groaning Deadpool's head into the concrete multiple times, Deadpool's comrades once again trying to drag the enraged master mercenary from the Merc With The Mouth."There's no one there! And you don't have any fans besides all the little five to ten year old kids who think you're Spiderman!" Naruto snarled before Deadpool kicked Naruto away, slamming the butt of his gun into Naruto's face as the guards around them secured him.
Spinning around, Deadpool looked back into nothing before speaking."Is that true? Are none of you actually my- HEY YOU, YEAH YOU LITTLE KID! PUT THAT ACTION FIGURE DOWN! NO, NO YOU PUT IT DOWN, NOW! HEY LADY, MAKE YOUR KID PUT THAT ACTION- NO I AM NOT SIDERMAN YOU LITTLE BASTARD! CONTROL YOUR SON LADY! AND YOU! YEAH YOU YOU FOURTY YEAR OLD VIRGIN, PUT THE SPIDERMAN COMIC DOWN! NO I WILL NOT SIGN IT BECAUSE I'M NOT SPIDERMAN! YOU KNOW WHAT, FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU TOO LITTLE SPIDER BAS-"
"DEADPOOL!" One of the guards called to the merc who swung around, smiling behind his mask as he continued to spin for a moment before finally stopping.
"Yes?" Deadpool questioned. Growling, the transferring guard motioned for Deadpool to follow him and their comrades as they dragged an even blurrier eyed Naruto across the cold hard ground before bringing him to a cage door. Opening it, one of the guards injected a syringe into his neck, Naruto's vision returning before he was roughly thrown into the grungy cell. Landing with a grunt, Naruto looked at his hand and feet, now unchained as the door to the cell was closed and locked from the outside.
Picking himself up, Naruto examined the room around him, immediately finding another form inside the cell, his cellmate. It was a girl with long brown air, with brown-ish eyes. She wore a skin tight, black and grey leather suit with no sleeves and yellow linings. She wore what seemed like metal, lock clasped bracelets on her arms and metal clasped shoes, which if he looked close enough, he could see slits in the toes of.
The girl glared at Naruto as he rubbed his wrists, sitting on his bed as the girl's eyes stayed trained on him, her glare heated."Any reason you're glaring at me?" Naruto questioned the girl who did nothing but shook her head."Well can you stop? If I have to be stuck in a room with someone against my will, I'd rather it be a pleasant stay." The girl continued to glare ahead at the young man."Alright... I'm Taskmaster." Naruto spoke, hoping to at least get her to talk, though she just continued to glare as Naruto sighed, laying down on the springy bed he sat on."Forget it..."
"... X-23." The girl finally spoke, Naruto's head turning to her with a raised eyebrow at her voice.
"You don't talk a lot do you?" Naruto questioned the girl who shook her head a negative."Well... Anything else you want to say?" Naruto asked as X-23 opened her mouth to speak.
~Artemis, Barbara & Roy~
Artemis and Barbara sat, crowded around Naruto's desk, dressed as (Costumed) Artemis and Batgirl respectively, waiting for Roy to return from changing into his Red Arrow gear. Almost immediately, the wooden door to Naruto's office was opened as Roy walked in, dressed to complete the mission, a frown placed onto his face."Change of plans." Roy spoke, as Artemis and Batgirl spun around, glaring at him.
"What are you talking about?" Batgirl growled as she grabbed Red Arrow by the front of his shirt, yanking him down to be eye level with her. Red Arrow sat silent for a long while, the tension in the room growing heavier with each moment as Artemis stepped forwards, poking Red Arrow in his chest sharply.
"What do you mean Change of plans Roy?" Artemis snarled before Red Arrow removed Batgirls hand from her rage filled grip on his shirt, walking back to the wooden door.
"I got us backup." Red Arrow spoke as he reached out of the door way, his hand grabbing two people's shoulders before he brought them into the room with him and the two girls, revealing their figures to be that of, Bullseye and a brand new Red Hood.
"Artemis, Batgirl, this is Bullseye, Naruto's mercenary mentor, caretaker and father figure from Cadmus. And this is The new Red Hood, Jason Todd, a kid Batman found stealing the Batmobiles tires. He ran and Batman gave chase, probably to try to get him off the streets. Naruto found him and hid him from Batman."
"Wait, when did this happen?" Batgirl questioned, indicating to the new Red Hood before Bullseye spoke.
"Contrary to what you may believe, not all projects of Cadmus are kept hidden. I was allowed to take him out on occasion. He got away from me one time and saved Jason, I guess young mercenaries can estimate who their greatest allies and enemies can be."
"Did Roy tell you two the plan?" Artemis questioned the two new mercenary arrivals, both of which who nodded quickly.
"We do." The Red Hood answered as Artemis nodded, motioning for everyone to follow her as she left the room, and soon the bar as well.
'This... Should be interesting...' Roy though to himself as he observed the small recon team that they had gathered...
~Naruto~
Naruto sighed as he finished listening to X-23, or as she had asked to be called, Laura."That's rough. I know a guy like you, calls himself Superboy... I don't very well like him but coming from the same project force, in essence, as sick as it makes me, we're... brothers..." At this, Naruto's nose scrunched up before he glanced over to his cellmate.
"I can't stay here. Tomorrow they experiment on me, they've already told me while they were dragging me here, there's nothing I can do to stop that. But after that, I'm going to find a way out of here. Just like I did back at Cadmus... But I can't do it alone, too many guards, one too many Deadpools, and no weapons or armor to go along with... You told me that they've let you out of here before, to assassinate, you know the halls right?"
"Yes." Laura answered Naruto who nodded.
"Then I have to ask, will you assist me in making my escape? Make no mistake, if the time calls for it, if you accept this, I won't leave you behind." Laura looked away for a moment, staring at the white blank wall before nodding.
"I will." Naruto smiled, if only slightly, before the small square window on their metal door opened, Deadpool jamming his head into it."Oh dear lord..."
"Hey Tasky, Wolvy- Girl! I just wanted to stop by and ask what's up and- OW!" Deadpool exclaimed as he went to back up."Ow- OW! SHIT! MY HEAD'S STUCK! MY HEAD, IS STUCK! HELP! DOC! WOLVERINE! JUSTICE LEAGUE! SPIDERMAN! READERS! ANYBOD- HEY! TAKY YOU BETTER SIT BACK DOWN- NO DON'T DO THAT, SOMEBODY CALL MY FANGIRLS- NOOOOOOOOO-"
