Chapter 2:The Battle With The Bat
The group of fighters turned and looked as the Dark Knight,of who was flanked by Red Tornado,Wonder Woman,and a girl none of the teenagers knew. The girl was like a teenage version of Wonder woman having the same smooth shoulder length black hair, fair skin, and blue eyes, wearing a pair of star earrings on her ears. She wore an all red skin tight sleeveless suit with gold stars going down the sides and also had a gold belt with a W on the buckle as well as knee high black boot and silver gauntlets on her arms with a golden lasso on the belt.
The team of Young Justice looked at each other,unconsciously taking a step back,bar Wally as Superboy and Aqualad left the increasingly heavy boy to stay in the front of them on his own. Batman narrowed his eyes,the gaze through his mask seemingly looking into the souls of those inside of the room."I said,"he growled as he stopped,his arms crossed over his chest,"What's going on in here!"
Wally laughed nervously as Batman's glare leveled down on him."Well you see...It's all that guy's fault!"He exclaimed,pointing towards Doctor Fate who still stood impassively as his cape continued to billow in a non existent wind."He somehow go in base,broke in my room with me in it,took Doctor Fate's Helmet,then he just,in sense,demolished us!"Batman's stare stayed on Wally a little longer as the Wonder Woman look alike shifted uncomfortably as Batman leveled the rest of the team with his signature glare.
Robin nodded quickly as Batman's stare finally landed on him."He's telling the truth!Robin's Honor!"Batman lingered on him before finally staring at the intruder of the room,the seemingly forgotten Doctor Strange.
"And who,"Batman spoke with authority,walking to the only slightly less opposing figure,"Is behind the Helmet Of Nabu this time?"Doctor Fate stared at him,his eyes,as they had been throughout the battle,impassive as he reached up,his hands grasping the helmet which occupied his head,before removing it with one strong pull. The outfit of Doctor Fate disappeared,being replaced by that of the blond haired young man who had put the helm on. The boy smirked,extending his hand to Batman.
"Uzumaki,Naruto,at your service."When Batman didn't shake the extended limb,The boy withdrew it,shrugging before waving behind the man,towards the robotic form of Red Tornado."Nice to see you again Tornado,I wish it were on better terms than...Erm...This... though."The robot nodded,the blackness from his non existing eye staring through Naruto.
"As do I,Naruto,but It is well to see you once again."Batman glanced over his shoulder,his gaze still cold as his met the black holes of Red Tornado.
"You know this boy,Red Tornado?"
"He is the Protege of Kent Nelson,I'm sure you know of him,he has been discussed in a few meetings with Kent,though you've never actually met him in person,unlike myself and Superman."Batman stared through Tornado,looking for any lie he knew would not exist before nodding to his fellow League member.
"I remember those meetings."With that,he turned back to Naruto,a frown in place."But I'm not sure if he should be allowed to keep the Helmet Of Nabu,after all,he seems to have no problem attacking fellow heroes,if he is an actual hero. How do we know he hasn't changed since his time with Kent?How do we even know he was a Hero while being trained by Kent?"Naruto's eyes narrowed in rage,though he made no move that would make Batman believe that he was indeed a villain.
"Then what do you suggest we do?"Wonder Woman questioned,stepping forward.
"...He will be tested."Batman spoke with narrowed eyes."He'll face me,and after wards,the members of the Leagues that are here will vote to choose if he should Keep The Helm...or just go back to the last place he was before coming here and destroying Wally's room."
"Yeah,What about that!What about my room!"Batman stared at him before turning,the three that had entered with following shortly behind as Batman called back to him.
"Either find a new one or fix this one!"
~Later That Evening~
Batman stared impassively across the Mount Justice arena at his opponent,Naruto,who glared at him for having Doctor Fate's Helm placed in a display case,protected by the members of the Justice League who were there and Young Justice,as well as Wonder Girl,Donna Troy. The boy wore a simple white,sleeveless,armored Shirt,black jeans,held up with the same Doctor Fate Belt/Buckle. Strapped around his biceps were black armbands of snakes coiling around each other. Wrapped up to the bottom of his elbows were white Ace bandages. His tennis shoes had been replaced with simple steel toed combat boots.
"Are you ready?"Batman called over to the,more than likely,enraged boy. The boy's head snapped his gaze away from Doctor Fate's Helm back to him as he smirked.
"As ready as I'll ever be Batman."The man nodded before rushing forwards as Naruto jumped to the side,narrowly dodging a steel gloved punch. Kicking up,Naruto kicked Batman in the gut before rolling over his back,sweeping at the costumed heroes feet,only for him to jump high in the air,coming down with his feet crashing into Naruto's face,sending him skidding across the ground. Batman once again rushed forward,spinning and kicking out to meet Naruto's abdomen,only for the blond to jump away,clasping his hands together,and,with much effort,forcing a Red Ankh Cross to appear. The cross towered above the two,though not to the extent of Doctor Fate's,before it quickly flew forwards,sending Batman back as it wedged him between the concrete wall of the arena and the cross itself.
With his hands glowing with a pink energy,Naruto flew into the air,firing multiple 'X' shaped energy bolts at the wedged man,watching with satisfaction as they connected with their mark,smoke covering the area where Batman had been wedged to. His smirk,however,turned to a frown as said man emerged from the smoke quickly,with nothing but a few scratches and a torn suit. Flying forward to meet the man,Naruto's arm glowed brightly with an orange color which,at the same time,seemed to glow and surround Batman before exploding,sending The Hero flying towards his opponent. Naruto flew high into the air,flipping with his leg connecting with Batman's chest,sending him to the ground with a cry of,"Uzumaki Barrage!"
Batman grunted in pain as he connected with the hard surface before picking himself up and swiping Naruto's recently ground feet out from under him. Jumping into the air,the man landed on Naruto's chest,causing him to grit his teeth in pain,before flipping off of him and removing three Bata-Rangs from his Utility belt. He quickly flung them as The whisker marked boy stood back up,and watched as they met their mark,send Naruto falling backwards against one of the round concrete walls of the arena. Naruto grunted,his vision blurry as he shook his head,before finally clearing his head,only for the bottom of Batman's boot to slam into his face.
The blue eyed young man spit out blood as he landed on the ground before rolling away as Batman descended upon the spot that he had just occupied. Kipping up,Naruto grunted in pain as Batman kicked him in the abdomen before grabbing his hair and ramming his face into his knee. Naruto staggered backwards,holding his face as Batman rushed forwards,only to find he was playing possum as Naruto blasted him with a purple energy blast.
As Batman fell,Naruto's foot connected with his skull before the blond preformed the same act as Batman,jumping into the air before crashing down onto his opponent's chest and flipping off. Batman bit back a scream of pain as he felt the strain underneath the heavy boots that the boy wore before slowly finding his footing and removing three smoke bombs from his utility belt and throwing them in front of Naruto. The boy coughed as five bata-rangs escaped the smoke,each making the mark before Batman flew high above it,coming down and smashing his fist into Naruto's face as he crashed into the ground.
Naruto panted,in obvious pain before he lifted his hands,three Ankh crosses appearing in front of him before surrounding Batman and smashing into the Concrete wall. The members of Young Justice winced as they heard the explosion and Batman's short shout of pain before returning their attention to the battle. Batman was now knelt on one knee,panting as Naruto stumbled to his feet,his teeth gritting with pain. The boy,despite his pain,rushed forward as Batman started to stand up,preforming a perfect dropkick,only to have Batman catch his feet and send him colliding with the ground.
Naruto yelped in pain as his knee skidded across the sound with a loud popping noise before kipping up once again,albeit with pain as his now hurt knee tried to buckle underneath the stress of the weight. Batman walked,slowly,towards the panting boy before spinning and kick Naruto,sending him back to the ground,before grabbing him by the front of his shirt,lifting him up face to face."Give up."
Naruto shook his head,kicking Batman in the gut before pushing him backwards and onto the ground."Never."And with that,Naruto ran,slowly with his knee,towards Batman before,once again,performing a picture perfect drop kick,to which he landed this time,sending Batman crashing into the concrete. Lifting his left hand,a red shield covered Batman as the same spiraling wind from his earlier battle formed in his right hand,before he rushed forward,shattering the holder and connecting with Batman's abdomen and making an impression in the concrete.
Jumping backwards a small bit,Naruto ran up Batman's chest,the steel toes of his boots connecting just under his chin before Naruto preformed multiple back flips to gain distance. As Batman gained his bearings,two Ankh crosses came down from the left and right sides of Batman,smooshing him in between them as Naruto watched in hopes of the battle ending. The battle hardened man,however,picked himself up and Glared across the desecrated battle field at his tougher than expected opponent.
Naruto panted with heavy breaths as he preformed as single hand sign,two Shadow Clones appearing beside him as they each drew a Kanjii,Spelling out Raging,Storm,Strike in Red,White,and orange before Batman was blasted backwards and into the wall by an unknown force as Naruto fell to one knee. The hardened Batman emerged from the smoke that the impact had made,three Bata-Rangs flying ahead of him and connecting with the three Narutos,two of which exploded into smoke upon impact.
Batman walked forwards,once again picking Naruto up by the front of his shirt before slamming him into the wall,rearing his arm back,and slamming his fist into Naruto's face."Face it kid..."Batman panted as Naruto looked at him through blurry vision."You've lost this battle...I've beat you."Naruto smirked,this seeming so familiar to him as his arm,unknown to Batman,began glowing green.
"That's right Dark Knight...You may have beat me in battle...But in wits,"The spoke as batman frowned,his eyes narrowed as Naruto's sparkled,"...In wits...I've defeated you!"With this,Naruto arm struck out,grasping Batman's head before watching as the green Energy completely surrounded him,the effect instantaneous as Batman immediately fell to the ground and losing grip on the boy as they both landed with loud 'Thuds'. As the watchers stared on,neither were able to fully struggle to their feet as Naruto made it to one foot and Batman to his knees.
Red Tornado floated down to the arena,his hand raised,signaling the end of the match,"This match has ended. Results :Naruto has won as he made it past his knees quicker than his competitor."With that,Red Tornado brought his arm down and watched as the two fighters helped each other to their feet before shaking hands,in a show of respect.
Tornado turned to the rest of those assembled,speaking loudly,"The debate on if Naruto shall become the new Doctor Fate begins Tomorrow,Please be present By Two O'Clock P.M. Thank you. Now,if you'll follow me,I'll lead you to your temporary room."The blond boy nodded tiredly as he slowly walked forwards,following Red Tornado.
~Naruto's Room~
Naruto sighed as he tossed in his bed and looked at the big red numbers on his clock which read 11:49 P.M. Sitting up,he picked his pants up,having discarded them as he only slept in his boxers,before withdrawing a picture of His Wizard Master,Kent Nelson,and a younger him,both of which had hands on the Helmet of Nabu. Naruto looked at the picture as he ran his thumbs over the helmet and Kent.'I won't lose your helmet.'Naruto thought to himself with detemination.'I won't.'
Suddenly,there was a knock at his door as the Green Martian Girl entered his room carrying a tray of Recently baked cookies."Hi."She smiled brightly at him."I brought you some cookies,as an apology for the fight earli-"She let out a surprised cry as she tripped and sent the cookies over Naruto,she herself falling on him before quickly jumping up."I'm so sorry,I just get so clumsy sometimes and-Hello Megan,I should've been paying attentio-"
Naruto cut her off with a laugh and wave of his hand as he picked up one of the cookies,placing the others back on the tray before quickly eating the cookie."It's good."He told her through a mouthful with a smile as she blushed and turned her head away from him. Naruto smiled again before speaking,"We never actually got to introduce ourselves. Naruto,Naruto Uzumaki."
"Megan Morse,Pleasure to meet you."Naruto nodded before taking her hand and kissing it.
"Pleasure's all mine."Megan's blush flared as she turned away.
"I-I'll L-leave y-ou al-lone now..."With that she turned invisible and his door slammed shut quickly. Naruto raised an eyebrow before laughing to himself while shaking his his head. Laying it on his pillow,he thought to himself.
'Maybe today wasn't a total waste after all...But tomorrow could very well be the worst of my life...'
Doctor Dark Fate:Don't even worry,just read the title again,don't get crazed on me anyone!Now,besides the more then likely boring fight,and the more then likely over done,"You Have to go through a test!"...How was it...?Oh and can anyone guess who the pink energy bolts were a tribute to?And till next time,Watch out for that spill!
