Well, you ask for more and here it is!

This chapter follows The Time Warp Arch, an 8 issue crossover arch with Ninja High School. So I will be skipping around quite a bit unless they include the main cast of the fic, Naruto and the Diggers. Their may be several flashes to... humorous scenes, but that will be it. SO, if you want to read the full story, you can go to , it has all of the GD comics up to issue 200 for FREE. The GD issues involved in this arc are 32-35. The other half of the story is in issues 54-57 of Ninja High School, those I don't have a handy link to catch up with but if you guys wanna find them badly enough I know you can, after all the internet has EVEYTHING. :P

So, on with the chapter

Naruto grinned as he watched Brianna setting up the target dummies for him at the far end of Sub level 20, aka 'The Pit of Boom!', where all the highly destructive weapons that Brianna developed were tested before she used them in the field. 'After all, with some of the gear she packs she'd want a nice out of the way test facility...and kilometer of bedrock should insulate anyone from the fall out of just about anything that she can cook up. But really, I'm more interested in watching her ass wiggle, oh yeah...'

Naruto's lecherous eyes watched as Brianna finished her setup and turned back to her boyfriend. Smirking at the look on his face Brianna slowly made her way towards Naruto, looping her arms around his neck when she reached him. "We can play later Naru, right now I need to see what you can do so there's no more surprises. After the last fight we had where I would have been barbequed if you hadn't saved me, I think it's time you at least tell one of us what you can do, ok?" Brianna used her puppy dog eyes just like Gina had told her, knowing that Naruto would give in quickly under the attack.

Naruto sighed and rested his forehead against Brianna's, knowing that he wouldn't get out of this without paying the toll. "Ok, you win, I'll show you some of the things I can do. BUT! None of the really destructive stuff, I don't wanna have a crater in the the suburbs of Atlanta ." Brianna giggled as she held Naruto closer.

"Oh come on, you can't be that powerful! This place is able to withstand anything just below a nuke, you won't even scratch the walls Naru!" Naruto smirked as he locked eyes with his girlfriend in his arms. That day, Brianna learned a VERY important lesson that she would never forget.

Never assume that Naruto can't do something than throw it in his face as a challenge.

Chapter 8

Gina sighed as she put away the rest of the groceries with the help of a Naruto-clone. Sliding up behind her helper Gina jumped on his back, surprising him and making them both fall to the floor. The clone had managed to twist around enough so that Gina was straddling Naruto as she grinned at him.

"Now that the chores are done, how about we..." Gina trailed off as she leaned forward and captured the clone's lips, more than happy that each was a perfect copy of the original, personality and all.

Naruto-2 put his arms around Gina as she ground herself against her pinned playmate for the afternoon. When Brianna had won the coin toss to be with the real Naruto all day, Gina's saddened look was all it took for Naruto to provided a clone to... distract her from the loss. Just as Gina pulled away with a satisfied smile she saw Naruto-2 look to the outside window quizzically. "Gina, not that I didn't enjoy that but, I think something's wrong... there's something moving down below."

Gina grinned saucily and pushed back a little, hitting something hard and giggled. "Oh yeah, I'd say something below me is moving alright."

Before the Naruto clone could correct her on what he had meant, both of them felt the house violent shake for several moments, multiple kitchen items flying around and finally dropping on the pair. Gina's eyes widened in shock as she pulled herself up and accessed the complex systems from a wall terminal, trying to track down what happened. "The tectonic sensors pinpointed that disturbance, it came from... sub level 20, I should have known! Come on, we're gonna go and give Brianna A PIECE OF MY MIND!

Brianna cautiously opened her eyes and peeked around the rigid body of Naruto that was blocking her sight. The devastation in front of her nearly made her scream. A moment later she did and pointed at Naruto accusingly. "AHHHHH! What did you do!?" The once pristine weapon test site was now doing it's best impression of a crater... and doing a mighty fine job I might add. The previously mirror finished walls were cracked and broken, the ceiling looked like it would collapse at any moment and reveal the bedrock above their heads and the floor... well, the floor was just plain gone. Ten feet in front of Naruto there was a very large, very deep pit and any trace of the target dummies that were supposed to be there had been obliterated.

Just as Brianna stood up the elevator behind her opened and Gina came out, Naruto-2 saw the devastation in front of him and slapped a hand over his eyes saying, "Oh come on man, it hasn't even been a day since the last time you blew something up!" The main Naruto dropped to his knees and took a deep breath, causing him to cough softly as he rasped out, "Well, she did challenge me to break the place, so I didn't want to disappoint her."

Both Gina and Brianna immediately stopped what they were doing and homed in on Naruto, noticing that he hadn't escaped the blast unscathed. Numerous slashes and cuts covered his face and exposed arms, his clothes hanging from his body in tatters. Gina's hands trembled as she reached forward to touch him but instead she gasped as she watched the cuts slowly start to heal themselves. Naruto grinned painfully as he looked at the concerned girls in front of him.

"S'ok, few hours from now these'll be gone. And don't worry, I'll fix the place back up, good as new. Sorry about the..." Naruto's voice trailed off when he felt both girls holding him close. It was Brianna that finally broke the silence.

"We don't care about that as long as your ok. What happened anyways?"

Naruto chuckled as he held his girls closer and watched as pieces of the ceiling slowly fell to the ground front of him as they finally surrendered to gravities pull and massive amount of damage they sustained. "I used a technique called Fūton: Atsugai(Pressure Damage). It makes a windstorm of razor sharp blades that can slice through just about anything. That was what you saw for a moment Brianna before I realized that it was too big and it would have hit you."

Brianna squeezed Naruto a little tighter and a muffled, "Dummy, I didn't want you to hurt yourself! Don't you ever do that again!" rose from his chest where Brianna had buried her face.

Naruto grinned as he kissed the top of Brianna's head and held both girls close. "Ok, just don't try and say I can't accomplish something like that again, I make a habit of upsetting anyone that tried to put a limit on me before and I seriously doubt I'll stop now."

As both girls helped Naruto to his feet, Brianna had a sudden thought. Turning to Naruto, she asked the question both girls were thinking. "Wait, was that your most powerful attack?"

Naruto laughed heartily as he leaned on both girls shoulders as he shook his head. "My most powerful attack? Nah, that's not even in the top three!"

The aborted 'abilities test' where both Gina and Brianna learned just how powerful Naruto was happened just a few days after they had returned from their adventure in Chronospace. Everyone had been working non stop since then to get ready for their expedition to space to help Stripe and then drag him back to Earth. Gina was in the middle of tinkering with a badly damaged hyperdrive, Brianna was working on the spaceship's hull and Naruto... Naruto was doing the hardest thing of all of them.

Keeping Brittany occupied.

It had started with a simple game of keep the tuna away from Brittany to try and cheer her up, of course in her current high strung state it had rapidly escalated into a no holds barred battle royal that continued on for the entire day, Naruto's godly stamina letting him continue fighting and Brittany's love and her obsession over her Chicken of the Sea kept her pushing past her limits all day long.

Ever since then both Gina and Brianna agreed, Naruto was in charge of keeping Brittany occupied. So, he did this the best way he knew how.

Training. Lots and lots of grueling training.

Brianna was on her hands and knees, drinking in huge gulps of air as she tried to catch her breath again. Naruto stood above her impassively and gave her a moment to collect herself while he critiqued the fight they had just finished.

"You've got great speed and strength Cheets, but you have forgotten the most deadly thing of all that you possess." Naruto crouched down, raised his finger and softly poked Brittany's forehead.

"This, this is the most deadly weapon you have. Now I know your not a super genius in multiple fields like Gina, but your damn smart when it comes to fighting. I've seen flashes of brilliance when we've fought, the times you've gone and done something off the wall to try and beat me. What I'm saying is use that to your advantage." Naruto offered his hand to Brittany and hauled her to her feet. "Now...how about we go see how things are progressing?"

At Brittany's tired nod Naruto grinned and spun and crouched down, holding his arms out in a classic piggy back pose. Naruto glanced back at Brittany and gave her a cheeky grin. "Wanna ride? You look a little winded."

Gina was making progress on the engine that she had managed to recover from El Dorado, but it was slow going. 'No surprise there, it's old, shot to hell and I don't want to ruin the only drive I have to work from by trying to start it up.'

Just as she was about to return to her work a sound from the hallway caused the genius to look at the door and smile softly. Naruto was regaling Brittany with one of his childhood stories and Brittany couldn't stop laughing her head off. 'Heh, if Naruto wasn't here I bet Brit would be trying her best to help out, trying to make herself not think about the situation. Guess he's good for the entire family, not just me and Brianna.'

Naruto grinned cheerily at Gina as he set his cargo down on her own feet and ran forward, grabbing Gina in a hug and greeting her with a kiss

"Hey Kirei, we wanted to have a look and see how things were going." Just as Gina was about to let the pair know where she was at with her project Brianna burst into the room, grinning like a loon as she latched onto Naruto's arm.

"It's finished! The hull is ready to go, come and see what I made all by my lonesome!" Naruto shrugged his shoulders at Brittany and Gina and all three of them followed the happy youngest sister to viewer on the wall and looked at the ship. Naruto cocked his eyebrow as he pointed at the craft on the screen, a niggling memory in the back of his mind.

"It looks good Hime... but hang on, I've seen that design before... now I remember! That's one of the ships from the Last Starfighter, the movie you had me watch with you last night!" Brianna giggled as she held onto Naruto's arm and nodded her head. Just as she was about to say something the viewer changed as a call came in and everyone was suddenly looked at the smiling face of Penny.

"Hey Brianna, I see your keeping your man on a tight lease, good job girl. Just called to let you know that the missile engines you needed are in, you should get them in about a week."

As Brianna continued her conversation with Penny Naruto looked back when he heard Gina growling. As Naruto's eyes met Gina's she growled in frustration. "I can't believe she did that, I already have engines that'll work in space! And their better than the ones that she could have purchased!"

Naruto closed his eyes and was about to chuckle when he heard Penny finish off her conversation with,

"So, it came to 250 grand, I'll bill your boyfriend just like you said I could." Naruto's head whipped back around and he looked at Brianna with a wide eyed look of shock. Brianna chuckled weakly as she let his arm go and slowly started to back away.

"Heheheh... um, you weren't supposed to hear that part yet. Thanks for nothing Penny!" Penny flashed a V at the Diggers and ended the call. Naruto turned towards the slowly retreating Brianna and walked towards her, his hands held out in front of him.

"Hime, you just lost me a quarter of a million, for something we don't even need? Time for you to take your punishment, my most fiendish of all my techniques!" Brianna's eyes widened as she quickly backed up but she hit a wall. Naruto lunged forward and held her by the sides as he announced his attack.

"Unmei no kusuguri kōgeki!" (Tickle Attack of Doom)

Meanwhile in the Chronoverse

This universe of multiple timelines had seen several special visitors over the last few years. A canine genius bent on ensuring his time line occurred. A group of young adventurers that stumbled upon the Bermuda triangle access point by accident. And most recently a strange ship created by Professor Azland was carrying Mita Celande, time traveler extraordinaire and her assistant, May.

May sighed, her only though was if they would be able to get back to movie night. 'This always happens right when we get to the good part too! Though, if that's the problem I think I can see why we're here.'

May looked in front of the advanced time machine that they were riding at the mass of floating chaotic energy that hung silently in their path. "What the heck is it?"

Mita's hands were flying over the controls as she analyzed the situation and turned to her helper. "Well, I'm still trying to determine exactly what it is, but I do know it is getting bigger. If it keeps growing at the same pace it has been then it could tear apart time and space!"

May looked at the large sphere of chaotic energy and gulped. "So, something pretty bad then."

Mita let out a bark of laughter as she continued to analyze the phenomenon in front of them. "An understatement if I ever heard one... Well, according to these readings the anti gravity engines on this craft should be able to stop it... if it's not too big that is."

Just as Mita was about to reach over and use her engines on the rift a voice called out and said,

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Mita stopped herself just before she could activate her engines and look towards where the voice came from. A futuristic fighter craft appeared, piloted by a... dog?

Mita blinked several times, not quite trusting her eyes as the mysterious dog continued on. "I am Doctor Alfred Steiner Peachbody and this is my... friend, Benji. We have been analyzing this time warp for some time now and you are trying to do what I think you are, you'll cause more harm than good."

Mita slowly lowered her had from the controls as she listened to Dr. Peachbody, wanting to know what exactly his intentions were. "My name is Mita Celande and this is my assistant May, what can you tell us about this time warp? Will you help us close it?"

Dr Peachbody kept an evil smirk off of his face and continued on with his prepared tale. "Of course I will assist you in closing this time warp, it threatens the entire time stream and it must be stopped! I have traced it's origins to a location in the early 21st century, we can collapse the time warp by shutting down the device causing it! I will stay here and monitor the anomaly if you and your assistance can transport yourselves to the following temporal coordinates."

Mita began to input the provided temporal coordinates to warp both her and May to the new location. May cracked her knuckles in anticipation of stopping the bad guys that were making her miss movie night, a lone thought accompanying said anticipation. 'Next stop, Atlanta Georgia! This'll teach you to mess with my movie night evil doers!'

Gina smirked as she watched Naruto 'punish' her younger sister. Brianna was screaming out in laughter as Naruto continued to tickle her into submission. After she had tried to kick him away, several clones appeared and held Brianna down as Naruto used her inability to move to fully deliver the attack. Brianna continued to scream bloody murder as she tried to get free, but the clones held tight while the original went in for the kill. "Now Hime, do you promise to double check if we already have things you want to buy, I can't have you wasting my money."

Brianna sucked in a deep breath between her laughter and yelled, "YES! NOW STOP TICKLING ME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! I'M GONNA PEE MY PANTS IF YOU KEEP THIS UP!" Naruto grinned as he stood up and dispelled his clones. Brianna relaxed immediately and put an arm over her eyes as her giggling slowly died down. As she looked out from her arm and rolled away from her boyfriend in a huff of anger. "I'm not talking to you right now, go away Naruto!" Naruto grinned at the others and knelt down and whispered something in Brianna's ear. When he finished the previously sulking girl sat up and looked at Naruto intently. "Seriously? You mean it?"

Brittany smiled at the cute scene in front of her, Gina on the other hand put her hands on her hips and looked at her boyfriend with a deadpan expression. "And what exactly did you just give her, hmm?"

"Oh, nothing really! I just said I'd follow up on something that Brianna wanted me to do for her, that's all!" Naruto put his hand behind his head and laughed nervously, hoping that Gina didn't call him on his bluff.

Gina stared at Naruto for a few more moments then let out a sigh. "Ugh, alright, only cause I have so much work to do I'll let it slide, this time... but next time your going to tell me exactly what your doing for her, you got it?"

Naruto grinned and nodded when he suddenly looked above with a contemplative expression. "Gina, were we expecting company?"

Gina sat down at the nearest terminal and pulled up some security footage and nodded. "Yep, looks like Ryan is here, he wanted to talk to me about something, he never did say what it was about..." Gina trailed off as she heard Naruto begin to chuckle evilly. Standing up, Gina walked forward and flicked Naruto between the eyes, causing the shinobi to cry out in shock.

"OW! Kirei, what was that for?" Naruto leaned back as Gina thrust her finger in his face and laid down the law.

"Naruto, you can't keep scaring the crap out of him! Seriously, the last time I saw him, Ryan was jumping at every shadow and stray noise, sure it was funny at first but enough is enough!" Naruto sighed and folded his arms over his chest, a pout appearing on his face.

"Fine, I'll leave him alone... for now. He does something stupid, he goes right back on the scare tactics regimen. I'll let the guys know that it's time to pop." Raising his hand, Naruto made the sign to relay his thoughts to his active clones. All of the girls were looking at Naruto with expressions of confusion.

"Wait, guys? You were using clones to scare Ryan? For how long? More importantly, how many clones did you use?" Gina crossed her arms under her bust and gave Naruto a expectant look. Naruto chuckled nervously and was about to bolt when suddenly a bright light appeared above everyone and they all heard,

"HIYAAAAA!" As Naruto, Gina and Brianna were surprised enough to not move a muscle, Brittany knew it was up to her. Crouching down, Brittany opened a floor locker up that just happened to be right below the falling girl. Suddenly her yell switched to, "AHHHHHHH!" as she fell through the floor. Brittany grinned and slammed the locker door shut, standing as she wiped her hands of imaginary dust.

"Wow, I never though those things would be so handy!" Brittany grinned at the stupefied expressions of her housemates and giggled. An another person dropped from the vortex in the ceiling, nearly falling on her face but Naruto was there to hold her up, wanting to get some answers before someone decided to through this uninvited visitor in a locker as well. The woman smiled gratefully at Naruto before she pulled out a small handheld device. "Thank you for the help young man. I apologize for the intrusion, as well as my... enthusiastic assistant. My name is Mita Celande and my assistant's name is May, we have come here on a very important mission, we must shut down your warp field generator Gina Diggers, the fate of the Universe is at stake!"

Gina looked at the put her hands on her hips, an exasperated look on her face. "Really? And just where did this information come from? Because I can assure you that my warp field generator is completely safe."

Mita pushed a button on the device in her hand and a holographic image appeared, showing the Diggers team a sight they were well acquainted with, the Chronoverse. "I can use the systems of my time craft to show you the problem. As you can see there is a massive time warp that has formed in the Chronoverse, it's origin point has been traced to this laboratory by a new associate of mine. We need to shut it down before it is too late!"

Just as Mita mentioned her associate, the image showed another craft slowly approaching the time warp. Gina sighed and slapped a hand over her face. "Oh God, not him again! That damn mutt! Is that the associate you mentioned? Cause I seriously doubt he's trying to save the universe, I mean his buddy is pointing a pretty big gun at that time warp!"

Mita paled as she watched events unfold in front of her, Benji had risen up from his seat and was aiming a very large gun at the disturbance, just as Gina had said. "But.. but that's some kind of a disruptor! I don't understand why he use something like that, a blast from that would disrupt the time stream! May and I would be stranded here!"

Benji smiled widely and fired the weapon, one bright flash of energy later the signal cut off. Mita dropped her hand to her side and shook her head slowly. "I.. I don't understand, why did he do that?"

"Why? Because the mutt wants to cut me off from my own limited method of traversing time! He's using you to do his dirty work!" Gina walked over to her terminal and pulled up the systems she had to monitor the warp field device. "Brit, I think you may want to let our guest out of the locker, we've got bigger fish to fry at this point!"

Brittany knelt down, opened the locker and looked inside. "Ummm... we've got a problem. I think she decided to make her own way out."

Everyone leaned over and looked inside the locker and saw that someone had punched their way through the metal plating to the lower floors. Gina paled as she looked at Mita's surprised face. "We have to stop her! Otherwise none of us will be able to prevent the mutt from altering time as we know it!"

Just as Gina turned to look at her sisters and Naruto, Gina notice both Brittany and Naruto were missing. A loud slam as the locker door closed and the sound of running feet clued them all into where the two had disappeared. Brianna was deploying her armor and pointed at the two scientists. "You two see if you can figure out what we can do to stop him, the three of us will stop May!"

May strode forward, her mission clear as she neared Lab 1, the location that Dr Peachbody had given her. Just as she was about to reach the entrance to the lab she was blocked by the same person that had tried to trap her in the locker earlier. "YOU AGAIN!"

"That's far enough little girl! You have no idea what you're doing!" Brittany stood tall as she stared down the girl in front of her, knowing that she could take her in a fair fight. Although the grenade that was thrown at her made Brittany rethink her position that the fight would be fair. May covered her face as the grenade exploded and when she looked up she saw that the obstacle before her was now gone. Quickly entering the lab, May saw her target in front of her. Rearing her hand back May was about to destroy it when a hand grabbed her wrist and stopped her dead in her tracks.

"Now now, let's talk about this, it's all been a big misunderstanding... WHOA!" Naruto dodged to his left as May used her free hand to pull out a beam saber, ignited it and took a quick slash at our favorite shinobi. With her other hand free, May pulled out a second saber and squared off against her newest obstacle. When May looked at the man before her she nearly face faulted at the amazed expression on his face.

"OH WOW! I WANT THOSE!" May growled out and dashed forward when she heard this, ready to attack the amazed man in front of her. As she neared her newest target May noticed something was off... her sabers, they felt different! Stopping in shock May looked at her hands and she was holding two metal tubes that were roughly the same size and weight of her sabers but they were absolutely worthless in a fight to her! May growled as she looked behind her and her jaw dropped, as two identical copies of the man that she had been ready to attack gave her foxy grins as they held her sabers in their hands!

"Triplets?! What the heck is going on here?" May was about to launch herself at the pair of men that stole her weapons when she felt a cold metal muzzle placed against the back of her head and heard the whine of a very powerful gun warming up.

"Please don't attack my boyfriend... He'd most likely find some way to not only completely defeat you but also destroy the lab at the same time."

All three Naruto's looked up in anger and yelled, "HEY!" causing Brianna to grin at her boyfriend.'s clones Said clones grumbled as they tossed the deactivated sabers to the original. Naruto deftly grabbed both hilts from the air and pocketed them both then folded his arms over his chest. Brianna backed away from May since she wasn't moving but kept her in her sights and Brittany finally reappeared, cutting off any possible chance of escape.

'This isn't good, I'm outnumbered and that BASTARD stole my sabers! I'm gonna kill him when I get my hands on him!' But before May could move another portal opened up and Dr. Peachbody appeared.

"MAY! We have to get out of here, they've captured Mita! I couldn't save her but I can still get you out!" To everyone else outside of the temporal event they saw the canine scientist appear for a brief instant then both he and May vanished.

Naruto tsk'ed loudly, berating himself for not being ready to pounce on the mutt when he showed his face. Reaching into his pockets though his look of annoyance changed to a look of glee. 'Sweet! New weapons to cause havoc... I mean, to learn how to use responsibly!' Turning back to the girls Naruto gestured back to the control room where they had left Mita and Gina.

"I've got a bad feeling about this. Both of you go and see what Gina and our guest are up to, I'll be watching from the shadows, just in case Time Mutt tries anything else. I'm not letting him catch me off guard again. Damned time travelers..." With a quick hand sign Naruto vanished from sight and the girls looked at each other, both wearing a concerned expression.

Brittany was the first to break the silence with the question both girls wanted answered. "Was it just me or did Naruto look really mad? I've never seen him like that before."

Gina was pulling in every reading that she could using her warp field platform so the two scientists could try and make heads or tails of the situation.

"Have we gotten those readings from Chronospace yet, Gina?" Gina nodded as she put the information on the monitor. Mita narrowed her eyes as she read through the information, worry bubbling up in her stomach at what was displayed. "Oh no, I recognize that pattern! It's from the time craft that I use, the engines have been activated!"

Gina hmm'ed softly as her sisters returned, both of them with concerned looks on their faces. Brianna sighed as she shouldered her cannon, looking at the two woman in front of her. "Sorry but she got away. Time Mutt warped in and took May before we had a chance to explain what was going on."

Gina pulled up images on her monitor, trying to get a good visual of the area. "Do you think May is taking off with your ride?"

Mita narrowed her eyes and shook her head. "No, May wouldn't leave me behind if she thought I was in danger. I have a feeling that Peachbody convinced her to give him access to the control systems. I'm convinced this whole fiasco was to get access to my time ship."

Gina and Mita rapidly began scanning the residual energy patterns in the complex, baffled at the fact that Peachbody had somehow managed to travel here from the Chronoverse. "It just doesn't make sense! I thought that the mutt cut us off with the disruption!" Gina was still pulling information from her warp platform when a sound of surprise left her lips. "Huh, that's weird. Mita, the time warp you were worried about? It's starting to shrink on it's own. And it looks like... yeah, there's something floating near it, I'll zoom in."

Everyone looked at the monitor as a fuzzy image of May was displayed, her body floating in the void of Chronospace the time warp was located. Mita gasped at the image and said, "We have to get to her, she could be hurt!"

"Well, if it's a rescue party then we're the ones for the job!" Both Brianna and Brittany grinned as they stepped back from the two women. Gina looked around the lab with a surprised look as Brianna and Brittany got ready for the rescue.

"Wait, where's Naruto?" Brianna raised her finger to her lips and pointed above. Looking up all Gina could see were shadows and she instantly understood her sister's silent message.

After the rescue crew ported out Mita leaned closer to Gina. "You mean that blonde haired man from before, right? So where exactly did he go?"

Gina looked over at her current partner and smirked as she softly said. "Oh he's doing what he does best. Trust me, you'll see why if we have any other 'problems'."

"Oh, I can't believe my plan fooled you both so easily. Ladies,you make this so easy!" Gina and Mita both slowly looked up at the hovering time craft above their heads. Peachbody was leaning over the edge, a malicious grin on his face as he continued with his rant.

"I assumed that you would have sent either Brittany or Brianna, but to send both? And your young mystery man is nowhere to be found, too bad for the two of you!" Peachbody fell back into the time craft, closed his eyes and laughed evilly, his victory at hand. Peachbody's laughter cut off just as quickly when he felt the time craft wobble slightly, causing the canine to open his eyes and stare in shock at the new arrival. Peachbody felt his hackles rise as his gaze was met by the very angry glare of a crouching Naruto.

"Well well, look what I have here. My name is Uzumaki Naruto, you tried to kill my girlfriends... prepare to die."

Ryan sighed as he continued to ring the doorbell, knowing that Gina was home today. Over the last month Naruto had been keeping up a constant series of... events, to keep Ryan 'on his toes' as he put it. Finally the blonde haired man had delivered an ultimatum. "I'll stop harassing you if Gina will forgive you. So I suggest you work on your begging."

The door finally opened and Ryan was surprised to see a soaked Genn open the door with a towel around his waist. "Genn? Where's Gina?"

"That's what I would like to know! I was in the middle of a shower when I heard the doorbell, I thought someone would have answered it by now!" Walking back inside Ryan went to a wall terminal, finding that his guest account was still active he linked into the security cameras to see what was happening in the lab.

Moments later Ryan began tapping swiftly on the keypad and cursed softly. Looking beside him, Ryan grabbed Genn's shoulder and pulled him down the hall with him. "Do you have full access to the home security system? We need to get some weapons from the armory and I'm locked out."

Genn nodded in confusion as the pair entered the elevator, wondering what they were walking into.

Breakthrough

Naruto slowly rose to his feet, his anger so intense that his chakra began to form an aura around his body. Peachbody skittered back from the frightening foe and yelled for help. "Benji, ATTACK!"

Benji immediately leapt into motion, bringing down his massive hand to crush the smaller man before him. Naruto slid in closer to Benji, getting inside of his guard and pushed Benji's strike to the side. Naruto's arm then flashed upwards, an uppercut rocking Benji backwards. Just as Naruto was about to follow through with another strike he saw Peachbody jump on the side of the time craft and drop several sphere's from his mouth. Naruto rushed to the edge of the craft and growled as he saw the spheres transform into multiple monsters, monsters that immediately started to tear apart Gina's lab.

"NO! MY LAB!" Gina fell to her knees as she watched her years of hard work, her irreplaceable inventions and discoveries meet their untimely demise.

Gina watched Naruto leap from the time craft and charge into the rampaging monsters, doing his best to not damage any equipment as he desperately thought of a way to destroy them, but it was a hopeless effort. Each hit that he dodged a piece of equipment met it's fate and Naruto was purposely tryingnot to wreck the lab with his techniques, limiting what he could do.

When the battle was fully underway Peachbody and his attack boy disappeared from sight, causing Naruto to growl. 'Dammit! They got away again!" Turning his attention back to the creatures in font of him Naruto created a few clones to distract them while he went over his options. 'This is not good, if I use too much power I'll destroy them but the lab will be smashed, too little and they could kill everyone!' His decision made, Naruto looked behind him and gave an apologetic look to his girlfriend. "Sorry Kirei, I'll make it up to you later!"

Naruto turned back towards the fight and just as he was about to tear into the monsters he felt a blast of plasma race by him and impact one of the creatures, knocking it off balance. Looking over his shoulder Naruto was shocked to see Ryan holding a smoking blaster and hiding behind Gina and Mita was Genn in... a towel?

Ryan smirked as he raised the blaster again and aimed it at the cluster of rampaging monsters. "Hey, need a hand?"

Naruto grinned as he slid back, looking at the unexpected help. "Well, I guess I can accept it, just don't think I'm going to go soft on you, that's still in Gina's hands to decide." Naruto grinned as he pulled his newly acquired beam sabers out and activated them. 'Heh, never thought that those sword lessons from Kakashi-sensei and Ero-Sennin would come in handy!'

Both fighters were ready to leap into the fray when several hurtbot's suddenly appeared, kneeling before Gina. "User-1: Gina, Hurtbot's 1, 2, 3 and 6 reporting. A disturbance was detected in the main labs, are you alright?"

Gina's helpless look immediately turned incredulous. "But I took you all offline for scheduled OS maintenance! I was supposed to take all day!"

Hurtbot 1 rose to it's feet and walked towards his creator as he responded to the comment she made. "Affirmative, but we detected the alarm and immediately brought ourselves back online. Maintenance subroutines have only completed 13% of the assigned task. Your orders?"

Gina's incredulous look immediately turned to anger as she gave her orders. "Job-1, Priority-1! Protect me, Ryan Tabbot, the female next to me and the neutral behind me. Job-2, Priority-2! Help Naruto kick some monster ass! They trashed my lab and they were enjoying it! Make them hurt!"

Naruto looked over his shoulder at Ryan and grinned. "Well, looks like you get a break today kid, protect the girls while I go kick some ass and I'll lay off you, deal?"

Ryan nodded and slowly backed away from the monsters as Naruto and the hurt bots leaped back into the fray.

Meanwhile in the Chronoverse

Gina's Time car was racing towards the last location that they had detected May. After a small detour that is. "Brianna, do you really think it was a good idea to go and get takeout before we got here? And where are all the bubbles that we normally see here?"

Brianna nodded as she took a drink then responded. "Hey, I was hungry! And according to Naruto, you can't rescue someone on an empty stomach! As for the bubbles, there are none here, this section of the Chronoverse is for the near and far future."

Brittany nodded slowly as she ate her tuna filet. As both girls drew closer they had no idea that they were walking into a royal mess, all because May... well, May isn't the sharpest crayon in the box.

'It was their device that caused this problem! I may have not been able to stop Peachbody from taking Mita's time craft, but I can take yours and rescue Mita! She'll know what to do to fix this whole mess!'

Brianna stopped the car right in in front of the apparently unconscious girl and popped the canopy of the car. Just as Brianna was about to climb out and grab their quarry, May grabbed the bumper of the car and violently twisted her arms, sending both Diggers flying out. "HAH! Did you really think I would be captured so easily! I won't be tricked again, not like I was by your friend Peachbody! And thanks for not wearing seat belts!"

As Brianna and Brittany were recovering from the violent actions of their rescuee, May was firing up the Time car to make a quick stop. 'Next stop, Quagmire. I'm not taking any chances this time, I'm gonna get some backup!'

Ryan watched in awe as Naruto was fighting against the horde of monsters. Every time a creature took a swing at him the fighter would shift subtlety, his body just moving enough to not get hit. Not a single movement was wasted and the moment he saw an opening he viciously capitalized on it, wielding his newly acquired weapons as if he had been using them for years. 'And I tried to get him to fight me? Oh hell I am so glad he hasn't decided to try and kick my ass since the beach. That's it, whatever he tells me to do I'll do it, it's not worth it to piss him off!'

Naruto leapt over a massive fist, landed on the creatures shoulder, slicing it's head off with his new weaponry. Flipping off of the dead creature Naruto grasped his sabers tightly as he analyzed the situation. 'Ok, six down and only one left. It should be an easy... OH you have got to be kidding me!'

Naruto jumped to the side as he dodged the remains of a hurt bot that had been attacking the last monster. The two remaining hurt bots began firing but the last monster walked forward, not even bothered by the hail of weapons fire as armor plating began to form in response to the weapons fire. A massive fist rocketed forward and crush another hurtbot's head and Naruto knew that this was not going to be an easy fight. Looking behind him Naruto saw the way to the exit was finally clear. "Gina, Hurtbot 1, get everyone out! I'll take the last one out but I'll need you all out of the way, I don't want you caught in the middle of this!"

Gina looked at the destroyed husk of a lab, realizing it was a lost cause and no longer worried about any further damage. Gina nodded quickly as everyone ran for the exit as the remaining hurt bot covered their escape. Naruto grinned savagely, stowed his sabers and formed a cross with his hands. Two clones popped into existence and ran towards their foe, keeping him busy. Naruto closed his eyes and moments later they snapped open again, the familiar orange highlights and toad eyes showing his mastery of Sennin modo.

Naruto created two more clones and they immediately helped him gather, form and enhance his chakra, completing one of his deadliest techniques. Both clones on distraction duty immediately began making a series of hand signs and disappeared below the floor. The creature bellowed furiously and tried to run towards Naruto but when it failed to move an inch the creature looked down and noticed that two pairs of hands were reaching out of the floor and holding it in place.

"Heh, another use of the screwed up Fuin that made me disappear! Ninpo: Dankai-tekina gurando - kuratchi !(Ninja Art: Phased Ground - Clutch!)" Naruto reared his arm back and let the Rasenshuriken he had been holding fly. The creature tried to move but it was too late, the projectile hit and the room went white.

Meanwhile, outside of the lab

Ryan was clutching the blaster he had acquired and looked back at Gina. "Hey, was it really a good idea to leave your boyfriend in there with a monster hellbent on killing us all?" Gina looked at Ryan and began giggling loudly, which of course made everyone look at her as if she had gone insane.

"Ryan, you have no idea what he can do. I'm more afraid for the monster than I am Naruto." Moments after Gina said this a massive explosion threw everyone to the ground. Gina felt her guts twist in anguish before realizing it had already been too late to save her lab. 'Well... at least he took out the bastards that destroyed it.'

Moments later the lab door fell to the floor with a clang and Naruto walked out, wiping dust from his clothes as he looked at Gina. "Sorry Kirei, the lab was already trashed and it was the easiest way to stop it."

Just as Gina was about to respond, other time portal opened up. "Look, it's Brianna and Brittany!" Gina's eyes widened as the car careened towards her, realizing that something had to be wrong. But before she could be hit a pair of warm, strong and very familiar arms whisked Gina away from the danger. Both Gina and Naruto watched as the car crashed into the ground and two people who were definitely not Brianna or Brittany jumped out, pulling out several weapons and training them on everyone. Naruto groaned as May appeared, realizing that she had done something stupid... AGAIN.

Naruto put Gina down and walked towards the recent arrivals slowly. Raising his hands up he made his cross hand sign once again and a cloud of smoke obscured him from sight. Before anyone could move all of the new arrivals had several clones surrounding each of them each holding a pair of kunai and angry glares on their faces. "Now, before we all try and kill each other, I have something to say. I'm tired. I'm hungry. I've been tricked twice today and my girlfriend almost got killed, AGAIN. This time by her own car that you apparently stole from her sisters. Now, unless you all want to suffer agonizing defeat and possible death since I'm in a REALLY BAD MOOD, lower your weapons and we'll talk this over. DEAL?" As Naruto finished his tirade the eyes of all of his clones slowly shifted to red as he subconsciously tapped some of Kurama's chakra he had hoarded away.

May and her backup, a massive man carrying an assault rifle and a blonde haired girl decked out in power armor each looked at each other, the clones that were glaring at them all and lowered their weapons. Naruto smirked and thought, 'HAH! And Baa-chan said my 'Aggressive Negotiations' would never work!'

"Good choice! Now, what the hell did you do with Cheets and Brianna!" Everyone looked at May, the young woman gulping nervously as one thought went through her head.

'Ah crap. This is not going the way I planned it!'

Meanwhile, in the Chronoverse

"So, Brianna... how was it the first time with Naruto?" Brittany smirked at the look of extreme satisfaction on Brianna's face.

"Three words for you sis... Clones and Stamina. I'll let your imagination fill in the details."

Back in the lab

Naruto sighed after he listened to May's explanation of how she got the time machine. "So, let me get this straight. You went and turned on your rescuers, got your friends Arnie and Asrial here and decided to come back here and rescue Mita, who we had 'captured'. Does that sound about right?"

"Yeah! Now hand her over you bastard!" Naruto sighed as he rubbed the bridge of his nose in irritation.

'Kakashi-sensei...was I really this bad when I was younger? From the bottom of my heart I'm sorry that I was such as pain in the ass.' Naruto looked over at Mita and motioned to her very confused assistant.

"Here, you deal with this, I got more important things to worry about like rescuing the girls." As Mita explained the situation to the new arrivals, Naruto made his way towards Gina who was trying to see if anything had survived the synthoid rampage.

"Any luck Kirei?" At her worried glance Naruto sighed, already knowing the answer. Moments later another time portal opened, causing Gina to groan.

"What the heck is this, the new cosmic Grand Central Station? How many more uninvited guests are going to drop in?"

In another era...

Peachbody grinned evilly as he entered the final calculations into the systems of his stolen time craft. "Excellent, with this time craft at my disposal and all my enemies in one spot the end game is finally approaching. Add in the power of this alien artifact and I will control all of time!"

Said alien artifact was actually the Sphinx, an apparent power amplifier left on earth for some unknown purpose. With a touch of a single control Peachbody began his plan to scatter his enemies through time.

Back in the present

Three limp bodies fell through the portal at Mita's feet, causing her to yell in shock. "Professor ! Ichi-kun, Akaru! What happened?"

Azland slowly stood and shook his head to clear it and focused on the woman in front of him. "Mita? Oh no... Mita! You all have to get away, Peachbody is going to..."

But it was too late as a final time vortex opened, much larger than any of the others, pulling everyone in different directions and flinging them through time.
