Ok, I've decided to introduce a new and hopefully completely original double soul from yours truly. I am also borrowing some characters from Gammatron, who has allowed me to use them throughout my story. The characters I will be using in this chapter are from his Naruto/Megaman crossover. Namely his version of Naruto and Sasuke, his original netnavis, Kyuubi and Shinobi, and his version of Lan and Megaman. Enjoy.


Training Part I

"Hey, Lan, Megaman, get off your damn asses and come with me to the teleporter," Max said as he walked past one of the many living rooms spread throughout the base.

"Why do you need us," Lan asked, who was currently enjoying a bowl of curry that was larger than his head. He reluctantly put it down to follow Megaman to go to the teleporter.

"It's time you got in some training," Max answered as they went into the room the teleporter was located in.

"Training for what," Megaman asked.

"For Blade Soul."

"What soul," Lan asked.

"Blade Soul. Don't tell me you already forgot about the soul chip that Blademan gave two weeks ago."

"Oh. Blade Soul. Now it makes sense," Megaman said, stepping onto the teleporter. "So, we're going for some one on one training with Blademan?"

"Sorta."

"Whatta ya mean, 'sorta'?"

"Well, I asked some friends to help as well. Blade Soul will also enable you to use skills other than swords and various weaponry dealing in blades. It also allows you the skills of a full-fledged shinobi."

"English please," Lan said.

"He means ninja," Megaman said as they began to fade out as the teleport sequence began.

"Oh. Ok."

"So, who are we meeting," Lan asked as they arrived at the front door of Blademan's mansion.

"I believe you're meeting us," a voice said from behind them. They turned around to see a boy around thirteen wearing a blue lab coat with black shirt and jeans. On his coat was what looked like a headband with a swirl with a small line going up at an angle on side and a what looked like a spike on the bottom of the swirl on the opposite side. Beside him was a netnavi that looked like Megaman, but was wearing a spiked helmet without a back to it, revealing black spiked hair. His eyes were an onyx color and he was wearing gloves with blade-like spikes on the rings of the gloves, but the main parts were wrapped in bandages. His boots didn't have rings, but instead had shurikens in place. His symbol, which looked like a fan of some sort with a strange looking shuriken over that was on the sides of his helmet and his torso as well.

"Hey, I thought we were supposed to leave our brother at home," a voice said to their right. "So why is he here?" They turned once again to see a blonde headed boy with two bangs over his forehead with orange highlights throughout standing there. He was wearing a long orange and blue coat with a what looked like a crimson fox on the back with nine-tails rather than one. He was wearing an orange and blue shirt with a swirl of red in an orange circle with kunai over it. He wore orange and blue running shoes and what looked an orange colored headband, bearing the same mark as the first boy's pocket, around his waist like a belt. Beside him was a netnavi wearing an orange jumpsuit, crimson stripes down his sides that ended at his orange boots and orange gloves, all of which had two spike on each, giving him the appearance that he had claws. He was wearing an orange visor that let his blonde hair and fox ears stick out and he had bright blue eyes. He also had nine blonde tails and on his face was what looked like six whisker-shaped scars. His navimark was the same as the symbol on the blonde haired boy's shirt.

"Yeah, about that," Max said, rubbing the back of his head, a sheepish expression on his face. "This isn't your brother. Well, not exactly. He's from a different zone."

"Damn it Max," the black haired boy said. "Why don't you and J quit playing with that power?"

"Come on, Sasuke. No one's been hurt by it."

"Yet."

"Hey, sorry to interrupt, but how about some introduction," Lan said. "They know me…..sorta…..but I don't know them."

"Right. Apologies," the black haired boy said. "I am Sasuke Uchiha Hikari. This is my netnavi, Shinobi," he said, indicating the netnavi standing beside him.

"A pleasure," Shinobi said.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki Hikari," the blonde headed kid said. "This is my navi, Kyuubi," he said, pointing to the nine-tailed netnavi beside him.

"How's it goin'," Kyuubi said.

"Ok. So why do you have the same last name as me and my brother," Lan asked.

"In this zone, these guys are your adopted brothers," Max said.

"Wait, you said you and your brother," Shinobi said. "Who's your brother?"

"That would be me," Megaman said. "I'm his netnavi and brother, known as Hub when I was still alive."

Shinobi and Kyuubi exchanged glances with each other. He knows about Megaman being his brother in that zone, they were both thinking.

"So, where is Blademan," Lan asked.

"I think he's training," Naruto said. At that time they heard a loud explosion followed by what sounded like a thirteen year old girl screaming. "And if I were to guess, I'd say Uncle Kakashi either used One Thousand Years of Death on Blademan or that was Uncle Kakashi getting his ass kicked. Those two just don't seem to give up. They can never accept a tie." He was interrupted by yet another scream, this one being slightly higher pitched. "You might as well come in and get comfortable. Those two will be at it a while."

"I'm sorry that you came this way only to have to wait another day," Blademan said, who was currently trying to sit down without hurting his bum, which had apparently been hit multiple times with a large kunai. "But unfortunately, Kakashi and I got a little carried away in what had started out as a friendly sparring match."

"He hit you with One Thousand Years of Death, didn't he," Naruto asked.

"…….Maybe……."

"I know how you feel," Naruto said, shuddering at the memory of him being hit by one Kakashi's signature moves.

"Hey, will we get to meet this Kakashi Hatake," Megaman asked.

"Perhaps some time later. He's already gone," Blademan said. "For now, I'll arrange rooms for all of you since you will all be here for a while for training. One to two weeks at most."

"That long," asked Lan between mouthfuls of curry. "Why so long?"

"Well, you don't expect becoming a shinobi to be easy do you? It takes practice. Normally it takes years to get at the level that I have achieved. But since you have Blade Soul, we can cut that time by a very large percent."

"Oh. Then why are these four here?"

"I asked them to come to teach you about the basics of chakra and chakra control," Max said.

"You know, Neji and Hinata probably would have been a better choice than us," Kyuubi said.

"Yeah, but I still owe Neji twenty bucks and Hinata….well, Hinata can be really shy sometimes."

"Ok, point taken. But why not ask some other people like Sakura. She's pretty good at chakra control. Better than Naruto and Sasuke."

"That's the other reason. I was hoping I could persuade you to join the team. And your brother."

Everyone looked at Max for a second, surprised at his second reason for asking the four to come. "But why? From what you've told us about your team, you got it covered."

"Because one to two weeks isn't long enough for training. This way, you can train with Megaman and Lan. Or, this Lan and Megaman."

"Yeah but-" Shinobi began.

"Jen's cousin visits often," Max said, a sly tone to his voice.

"Sa-Sarah visits….often?"

"That's right. And she still remembers you. She asks about how you're doing almost every time she visits."

Shinobi gulped, trying to force down a blush that was beginning to appear on his face. "Re-really? Well, I don't see a problem with joining your team. But it is temporary, right?"

"Yeah. Temporary."

"Ok. I say we join after this one or two weeks of training is over." He looked around the group, waiting for everyone else's answer.

"You're only going for Sarah, aren't you," Naruto asked. "Someone's a little love sick."

"Shut up." But his blush that he had failed to hide showed how he really felt.

"Whatever. I'll join, believe it. What you Kyuubi," Naruto said.

Kyuubi nodded. "Sure. Sounds fun."

"I'll join too," Sasuke said. "Can we call our brother and his Megaman to let them know?"

"Yeah. Ask him to come as well for training," Max said. "The more the merrier, right?"


Again, thank you to Gammatron for allowing me use of your characters. But that was the longest intro for any character I have ever done to date. What's in store for Lan and Megaman for training? BTW, can someone give me a way to tell the two Lans and the Megamans apart? Cause otherwise, I'm going to reverse Lan's name, which is just too weird and I'm going to give the other Megaman a rearranged name and so far, all I've got is Megan. Please, I beg you, help me. Please review.
