Chapter 6: Invasion Part 2 – Heroes Assemble

Naruto was running away with a young boy no older than 6 in his arms. He and the other clones behind him were moving as many civilians to safety so they could fight without them getting caught in the crossfire. Those blasted alien Walkers had started to gather where he was and it was causing problems.

Naruto had shifted his priorities to evacuating the civilians while covering them from any fire from the Walkers that would dare aim for them. After the bridge had been safely secured Naruto had made it one if his top priorities to help the people move across the bridge and into the military's protection.

The young boy had been holding onto Naruto as if he were a life raft and looked like he was scared of what was happening with the alien attacks. The clone gently patted his back and told him it's going to be okay.

However Naruto saw that things weren't really okay. Despite his clones help in evacuating there were still some that got injured and needed to be checked at. It was times like these that he wished he had started training in medical jutsus so he could heal people like Tsunade did.

But he knew it was pointless having wishful thinking now as he blocked another laser shot aimed for him with an earth wall.

Once they made it across the bridge the boy gratefully thanked the blonde shinobi, as did the parents who were beside brought to their son by the other clones. The boy rushed to his mother who gave her son a hug. Naruto eyes showed both a mixture of happiness and a small hint of sadness. He was happy that the child would be alright and reunited with his family, but yet sad that he never got to have such an experience as that. True he had met both his parents one last time, but those moments had been short lived.

Naruto's inner thoughts were interrupted when someone had called out to him. He turned to his side to find the Sergeant that he had helped protect the bridge with. Despite the fact that Naruto was not from the military or any other official faction for that matter, the Sergeant gave him brief but crisp salute, as a show of appreciation and respect. Hey, Naruto had won the Sergeants eternal gratitude and thanks for not only saving his ass and those of his remaining men, but the bridge and assisting these civilians out as well. All those added together equaled respect in the Sergeant's book.

"First off, I just want to give you my sincere gratitude for your help. We probably wouldn't have been able to hold off those bastards off until reinforcements arrived." He spoke in a voice spoken with gratitude.

Naruto just waved off his thanks. "No thanks are necessary. I just did what I felt was right."

The Sergeant grinned, "Well me and my men say thanks all the same." His expression turned more serious, grabbing Naruto's attention. "I know you're not officially inclined to help us but we could really use the extra hand."

"What do you need?"

"Well as of now we got both some good and bad news."

"The good news? Naruto inquired.

"Backup is finally on their way here, and should be here within approximately 10 minutes. They'll be bringing in extra men, as well as a good supply of food and medical equipment for the injured and hungry." Naruto gave a small sigh of relief there. These people wouldn't have been able to hold off for that much longer. The fact that it had taken longer for the military to respond spoke volumes of the current situation of the invasion as of now.

"And the bad?" When the Sergeant's expression visibly turned more grim, Naruto immediately knew that it wasn't news that he would have liked.

"Another wave of Aliens are approaching the city from space. By the speed of their trajectory, they're anticipated time of arrival is around half an hour." Naruto gave a low curse under his breathe at the news. Half an hour was barely enough time to regroup with the reinforcements coming, not to mention fortifying their defenses and making sure that the civilians were safe.

Naruto felt a presence beckon him in his mind, which Naruto immediately recognized as Kurama. Quickly entering his mindscape, Naruto faced the giant fox. "If you haven't noticed Kurama, I'm a little occupied at the moment. Unless you have anything helpful to say, I can't talk right now."

Kurama gave a loud huff. "Keep your panties in a wad there Barbie; what I have to say may greatly help you with your little dilemma."

Naruto's eyes widened slightly, now giving the fox his full attention, ignoring the fox's jab. "Well you have my attention. I'm all ears."

"You probably forgot since you haven't had the chance to use it yet but don't you have a Ninjutsu technique for this sort of situation? I'll give you a hint. It was used on your village during that Sora incident"

Naruto took a moment to ponder Kurama's words before his eyes lit up in recognition. "Thanks for the tip Kurama, forgot all about that technique. I owe you one."

"Hehehe, I know you do." Naruto didn't know why but somehow he was already regretting what he had said. He knew that whatever Kurama asked wouldn't involve killing an innocent person, since he had been very clear on his stance with the killing policy. He pushed those thoughts to the back of his mind, exiting his mindscape.

"Sergeant" Naruto suddenly spoke grabbing the soldier's attention. Time in his mindscape moved in a much different fashion, making it so only split seconds passed by outside his mindscape.

"I have a way of protecting the city from anymore attack from the aliens." After seeing exactly what this man could do, the Sergeant was willing to listen to his suggestion.

"What did you have in mind?"

"I have a certain technique that will shield the city from further assaults, but there will be some drawbacks to this method." The Sergeant merely nodded, motioning for Naruto to continue.

"While the shield or more accurately 'barrier' will hold off their attacks, no one will be able to enter or leave once it's been activated; unless I drop the technique. I'll wait for backup to arrive before setting up the barrier, but I'm certain that it will halt the aliens' advances."

The Sergeant took a few moments to consider the Hokage's offer. It sounded like the benefits of this barrier would out way the cost if what Naruto's words were true.

"Alright, we'll go with that plan. Here's a communicator so I can signal you of when the backup arrives and is secured in the city. In the meantime, I'll rally up my men and inform them of the plan." The Sergeant knew that he was putting a lot of faith on this hero that probably went against some regulation, but right now that would have to be dismissed. Even with the reinforcements that would be arriving, there would be no guarantee that he and his men could survive another brutal assault. Screw regulations, there was just too many lives on the line to side with protocol. He'd just have to leave it up to chance that whatever barrier that the Hokage would place up would work.

In Gotham…

Barbara Gordon or better known as Batgirl, along with her younger fellow protégé Robin, both landed a flying sidekick straight into an alien's chest. The impact from both their combined power completely shattered the region where they hit, taking it out of commission for good.

Like the rest of the world, Gotham had been struck by the invasion as well. Unfortunately for the aliens, they had met some heavy resistant's' from the military, the cities powerful crime lords, gangs, mobsters, and other less important criminal upstarts. For the first time in Barbara's life she had worked alongside the very criminals whom she had dedicated her life to locking up. She and Tim had to, as by themselves they could never hope to fight off the invasion force without major assistants and firepower.

Batman had left hours before the invasion had begun, for a mission in Metropolis. Minutes after the invasion had started she had received a message from Batman stating that she and Tim were both to stay in Gotham and assist the civilians in any way they could, as he himself would not be returning yet. When Barbara had asked why he wouldn't be coming back to help, his only reply was that he was busy at the moment, before the connection was cut off. Typical Batman, always so sweet and charming as Bruce Wayne while having the emotional range of a teaspoon when assuming his role as the Dark Night.

Her attention was focused on a pair of civilians who were being fired upon by the oncoming aliens. Barbara turned to face time and spoke in voice both serious but slightly tinted with humor.

"You ready to be the rabbit?"

Tim gave an exasperated sigh. It was the nickname Barbara always used for him when he was the decoy. "As always."

With that said the two sped off to intercept the aliens. Tim shouted to them, grabbing their attention towards him and away from the running civilians. Immediately the aliens brought their sights on Tim, firing a collection of salvos from their energy weapons.

Using his superior acrobatic skills, Tim carefully began to dodge the beams, switching off from flips to skittering side to side to dodge. With their attention solely focused on Tim, Barbara silently crept above the small building behind the aliens. She grabbed two batarangs from her utility belt, taking careful aim before propelling them at the group of aliens.

Both batarangs glided through the air, making faint 'swooshing' sounds as they descended upon the aliens. Simultaneously, the batarangs slashed across all of the groups' heads before stabbing into the ground, where a current of electricity surged through the group's area, electrocuting them all in the process.

Their bodies jerked violently from the voltage, before eventually dropping to the floor. Once the batarangs ran out of power the electricity cut off, as the aliens' bodies began melting, much to Tim and Barbara's disgust. The two Batman protégés shared a high five, celebrating their victory.

However, their victory was short lived as a loud 'bang' could be heard from behind them. The distant sound of a gun echoed throughout the street. Looking to the origin of the shot, both sidekicks found a dead corpse of an alien drop from the building where the shot was most likely fired from. A top the building stood a young but muscular man who wore an all body black suit with what appeared to be a blue like design of wings that stretched across his chest area, extending down his forearms, and a mask covering his eyes with see through white slits in them.

"You forgot to check your back." the man placated Batman's protégés.

Both Tim and Barbara immediately recognized the man. He was both their friend and a previous Robin. "Dick!" They both simultaneously shouted.

"In the flesh." He spoke as he expertly jumped down from the building without harming himself. The two were about to greet him but their conversation was cut short by another wave of approaching aliens.

"We'll exchange greetings later. Right now we have to deal with them." His voice took a commanding tone that left no room for argument, so the two teens followed his lead.

A female feline figure scurried across the rooftops. Not far behind her was a group of alien soldiers chasing after the feline while firing away with their energy weapons. Selina's face darkened as an energy projectile zoomed past her head.

Being shot down with those energy weapons was not at the top of her list of things to do. She had seen first-hand just what would happen to you if you got hit by those projectiles. The feline woman expertly brought out her whip, as she jumped off the building. While in midair Selina lashed her whip around the poles of the nearby balcony. Once secured tightly around the pole she flung her body upward, flipping gracefully onto the balcony.

She quickly leaned against the wall, waiting for the group of aliens to pass her by. After a few moments they unknowingly moved past her hiding place. She exhaled a breath of air that she had unknowingly held.

Before she could take a moment to ponder what she was to do next, cracks chipped on the ground next to her. Moments later a giant flower slowly sprouted upward from the crack. Selina already took a gander as to who was in the flower petal, given her past experiences with it or the person who used it to be precise. The petals bloomed, revealing Poison Ivy, also known as Pamela Isly.

"Hello there Selina. It's a pleasure to meet you again, despite the fact that our last meeting was not under preferable circumstances." Ivy was the first to speak.

"Can't entirely say that the feelings are mutual, but hello to you to. Now what exactly do you want with me? This can't be a social call, especially with the whole invasion going on." Selina replied, wanting to get to the bottom of this surprise visit.

Pamela gave Selina a reassuring smile. "There is no need to worry. I have come on peaceful terms this time. This actually concerns the attack from these aliens."

Selina's brow arched, her curiosity was now peaked. "And what exactly did you have in mind?"

"I propose that we join forces against these aliens, at least until the invasion has ended. I know that are last alliance did not end so well, but I promise that I shall not harm you in any way."

"And how do I know that you speak the truth. Or for that matter why do you want us to fight against the aliens in the first place. I was under the impression that you despised humanity. Why not just let the aliens kill them for you?"

During Selina's talks with Naruto he had mentioned in passing that he was helping change Pamela as well, but she wanted to judge Ivy herself to see if she truly wanted to change. Apart of her didn't actually believe it could be done, but this was the Hokage she was talking about here so maybe she would change for the better.

"Because despite what I did in the past I'm actually trying to change. I figured it was time for a different outlook to life; see what it feels like to be the hero for once in my life. Besides right now the men are all fighting against these aliens so they'll be of better use to keep alive in case more invade Gotham".

Selina folded her arms in a contemplating posture, thinking over Pamela's offer. From Catwoman's reaction, Pamela had assumed that the feline woman would have refused her offer. Not exactly surprising since she had tried to kill the woman before after she had betrayed both her and Harley. But to the former eco terrorist's surprise, Selina held her hand out with a small feline grin etched across her face.

"You have yourself a deal. The Hokage told me about your attempts to change, but I must admit that I was a bit skeptical. It's also why I had to question you for myself, to see if you truly wished to change." Even though Selina saw slight hesitance in Pamela's speech, she noticed the determination she held in both her voice and eyes.

For a moment, Pamela just stared at Selina's extended hand, contemplating whether to accept the gesture. This was her first step towards a new life, one she still had second thoughts about, but she was willing to make that leap; at least this time.

Pamela shook Selina's hand firmly, officially sealing their temporary alliance. She just hoped that taking the Hokage's advice was the right one. Oh well, time to find out.

The sounds of gun fire wailed, seemingly close to the two females' location. Both looked to each other, silently in agreement, before they both ran off to the source of the gun fire.

Back in San Francisco…

Naruto was currently West near the borders of the city, carefully flowing through a long complicated series of hand signs. One slip up in the jutsu and the whole plan would go to hell. Naruto had sent three other shadow clones to the other sections of the city; North, South, and East.

Simultaneously the four Naruto's waved through the hand signs. In order for this justu to work properly, Naruto need to know the layout of the city which he had already mapped out in his time there. In perfect synchronization, all Narutos' finished the required hand seals, slamming both their palms into the ground.

"Kekkaimon Gofūjutsu: Hachimon Heijō! (Barrier Gate Five Seals Technique: Castle Closing Eight Gates)" They all shouted together. Pillars arose from the ground, shooting off an unknown energy that flashed across the sky. The beams of energy moved together to form a huge cubic perimeter around the entire city.

"Urrgh, so many damn hand seals." Naruto mumbled as he rubbed his stiff hands. Naruto keyed the communicator that the Sergeant had given him.

"Yo Sarge, the barrier was successfully put up." Buzzing sounds made it through the communicator before the Sergeant's voice spoke through.

"Yeah, we noticed. Are you positive that this thing will deflect their shots off?" The Sergeant questioned, wanting to make sure that the barrier was secure and he had not misplaced his faith in trusting the Hokage.

"Yes, I'm positive it will hold." Naruto spoke in a reassuring tone. He could understand the Sergeant's question as he was putting the fate of himself, his men, and all the civilians in the city on a stranger's shoulders.

Naruto had his clones stay near the pillars to make sure it still held enough power to hold the barrier without dissipating.

"Well it looks like the barriers gonna get its first test run cause we got another wave coming in now." The Sergeant broke out as Naruto could make out a large squadron of Alien air crafts flying towards the city. The aliens grouped together before firing off a salvo of energy beams. The beams were met with resistance from the barrier Naruto had put up, and was thankfully able to repel the beams off without much trouble.

The Sergeant let out a heavy sigh of relief as the barrier the Hokage had placed up had successfully halted off the alien's attack. He keyed the mike to speak to the Hokage again.

"It looks like the trial test passed with flying colors."

"Was there ever any doubt?" Naruto replied smugly. The Sergeant snorted, muttering something about a smartass under his breath.

Naruto chuckled to himself, glad that the technique was a success. With the barrier up, the Sergeant and his men could use the time to reinforce their defenses and continue to assist the civilians.

Now that the immediate danger was taken care of, Naruto let his mind wander for a few moments to think of his next objective. He idly wondered how things were going down with the shadow clone he sent out back before the invasion had begun. By now it should've reached its destination.

Suddenly a rush of pain inflicted his mind. Naruto clutched his head in pain as he screamed. The headache was almost as bad as the time he woke up in the forest per his arrival to this world.

"Kit! That same person from six months ago is trying to contact us again!"The Kyuubi's voice boomed loudly in Naruto's head, increasing the intensity of the headache.

"JESUS H-CHRIST KURAMA! Do you have to speak so loud in my head?!" Naruto yelled back with twice the volume that Kurama spoke with, causing the Kyuubi to sweat drop slightly.

"You realize that you're speaking even louder than I did right?"

"Urrgh, whatever what did the guy want this time?" Naruto replied trying to ignore the ringing in his ears.

"Most of the message was still unintelligibly, as if something was blocking the signal. Thankfully this time I was prepared, so I was able to track down the signals location."

"Finally, maybe now we can get some much needed answers. It could even explain the reason for the invasion." Kurama hummed in agreement, wanting to get to the bottom of this to.

Naruto keyed his communicator again. "Hey Sarge, I have a scheduled appointment elsewhere. You think you and your men can hold the fort while I'm gone?"

"What do you mean you're leaving?!" the Sergeants voice blared into the communicator.

"I may have found a way to end this invasion. Make sure to take care of the city while I'm gone. I'll leave my clones to tend to the barrier."

Long silence met the channel before the Sergeant eventually replied. "…If you think you've found a way to end this, then go find what you're looking for. But you better make sure that you get the job done right you here?"

"You got it, but only because you asked so nicely." Naruto gave a fox like smirk when he heard the Sergeant call him a smartass.

"Hey watch your back out there."

"Aww you do care." Naruto playfully replied, before speaking in a more serious tone. "Will do" he disconnected the communication.

Naruto held up a single hand seal, making a shadow clone appear next to him. "Look after this pillar, until I say otherwise."

The clone saluted, shouting a 'Hai Boss!' Naruto temporarily lowered a small section of the barrier for him to pass through, taking off full speed towards the location of the signal Kurama had locked on.

Gotham…

All-out war seemed to rage across the corrupt city as both the city's heroes and criminals fought against the invasion of aliens. It was an endless fire of bullets against the endless fire of lasers. Barbara, Tim, and Dick worked together to take down a Walker who was actively firing at buildings and fleeing crowds of people.

Fighting against the foot soldiers wasn't too difficult for the group of heroes, as long as they fought together, but the Walker was a different story. The damn things armor had been a pain in the ass to bypass through.

None of the equipment that they had was made to be used for lethal force, except with the possible use of their grenades. For the most part, all they could do was keep avoiding the continuous salvo of energy beams, being fired upon them.

Dick growled lowly in agitation with their predicament. "Dammit, sure wish that Batman had left an extra Batplane." The Batplane was one of the only vehicles in their arsenal of weapons that Batman had that probably had enough firepower to damage this Walker, but Bruce had taken it with him when he left for Metropolis.

Batgirl used her grappling hook to evade another beam of energy, swinging across the street behind an upturned car. In her haste to escape the energy beam, Barbara had missed the leaking gas coming from the car.

Dick was quick to pick up on this. His eyes widened in horror when the Walker moved to fire at her location again. "Batgirl move!"

Barbara soon saw the gas leakage, now knowing that she had made a grave mistake. As quick as she could, Barbara moved away from the car, in hopes of outrunning the soon to come explosion.

She appeared to be too late as the Walker seemed to have another charge ready to fire again. Before the Walker could fire however, large vines had sprouted from the ground, quickly ensnaring the Walker. The wines managed to constrict the Walker's movements, making it tip over and fall. Upon falling on the ground, the Walker's beam went off point blank into the ground, resulting in a large explosion.

The Bat-family took a few moments to register the fact that Barbara had been saved from possible death and the now destroyed Walker. Once the debris began to clear, the heroes found the remaining wreckage of the now destroyed Walker, but that wasn't what grabbed their attention. It was who had destroyed the Walker. Beside the wreckage stood both Catwoman and Poison Ivy.

Pamela had beckoned her vines back into the ground, as they both casually walked toward Batman's protégés.

'What are these two doing together? Last time I heard, Catwoman had betrayed Ivy, so what's up?' Dick thought, trying to make heads or tails of the situation.

"Well, I can't say that I'm entirely overjoyed to see you two again." Barbara broke out, still a bit bitter with her and Ivy's last encounter. Understandable as Ivy had nearly killed both her and Tim.

Pamela squelched the urge to flinch at Batgirls harsh comment, but decided to set that aside for now.

"Me and miss Kyle here are in a temporary alliance, at least until the invasion is over and dealt with." Ivy said with her arms crossed.

"And…"Selina pressed for Ivy to continue.

Pamela sighed to herself. "…And I'm…trying out this…Hero thing for once." The Bat-family suddenly looked at Pamela as if she had grown a second head. Catwoman was understandable as she had often played both roles of the hero and villain before, but for Ivy to say that she was going to go hero; they couldn't believe it.

"That's a load of bull. Why the sudden change of heart?" Dick questioned, still remembering the time Pamela cheated her way out of Arkum and created a fake family and new vine monsters to try and kill them.

"Yeah, there's no way that would happen." Tim added.

Pamela's mood was beginning to sour. 'Urrgh, perhaps doing this was a bad idea after all.' Her attention shifted to Selina who gave her an encouraging gesture.

Ivy sighed once more. One more try wouldn't hurt. "Despite your obvious disbelief in the fact that you believe I can't do something good for once, I actually can. Though I must admit that this is new change for myself, I'm willing to give it a try, at least once.

The Bat-family were about to retort once again but their discussion was interrupted by another incoming Walker. In the heat of their discussion, they all had temporarily forgotten that they were currently in an invasion.

"No time to continue this discussion. We'll just have to accept their help this time but keep a close eye on them for any deception." Dick spoke to both Tim and Barbara, both whom were not too keen with the idea of working with Pamela, but they would have to for now.

Unbeknown to the group, a certain clone of a blonde ninja watched their discussion from the shadows. "Boss will want to know about this. It may not be quite perfect, but it's definitely a start." The clone spoke to itself before poofing away.

XxX

Memories of the events in Gotham rushed back to the original Naruto, who was currently speeding towards the location of the signal. A small smile played across his face. It looked like Pamela and Selina were making small progress. Perhaps some good could come from the invasion after all.

His feet crunched against the snow covered ground hard. He had been running for a few hours now. Unfortunately for him, the signal had been quite a ways away so he was forced to use his Chakra Mode to increase his speed, otherwise the trip could have taken the better part of the day.

"We're getting close now. I can sense a lot of activity coming from the location." Kurama's voice boomed.

Naruto nodded his head. "Yeah I sense it to. Looks like a number of them have high level chakra to. Well, we'll know soon enough, we should be there in a few minutes.

XxX

When Naruto finally arrived at his destination, he had witnessed quite a spectacle. There seemed to be an all-out battle going on between a collection of heroes and the invading aliens. Naruto took this time to observe the heroes, as he had never seen so many of them in one area before.

Off to a side of the mountains stood Batman who stood next to what Naruto assumed was his downed plane that had a missing wing. Batman looked to be calmly observing the rest of the heroes take on the force of alien ships with his calculating eyes. Though, he did have to move out of the way of a stray alien aircraft ship that had been destroyed, or else be crushed under its wreckage.

A woman with angel like wings glided across the sky, avoiding energy beams from the alien aircraft fighters. The woman had copper-red hair and wore a black mask that had the look of a predatory bird. Her face was hidden by the mask but there was no doubt that she was attractive. Her body was also well toned and looked to have hidden strength as she didn't have a single trace of fat anywhere on her. The upper part of her costume was in the same style but was light yellow cream in color which held her more than ample bust and hugged her frame very well. She had a green belt with metallic buckle, a set of murky green skin tight pants of some material he could not identify, with red boots and a red style lower portion. Add that to the wicked looking mace she had with her and held on with a strap of leather like material on the wrist. Lastly she had a pair of grey colored wings on her back that gave her an angel like look that reminded Naruto of Konan.

She expertly dodged another beam as she moved in on a nearby aircraft like a hawk hunting its prey. With a war cry she powered her mace to full power, bashing away at the wing of the ship, effectively taking it down.

Around her were several other heroes who together fought against the alien forces. An unknown muscular green colored being turned intangible so the energy beams would faze through him and hit its allies' ships, destroying them in the process. The alien like being wore a long high collared blue cape that reached as far as the backside of its legs. Its red eyes remained as unemotional as its face, and red straps crossed his chest in an 'X' shape design.

Superman was also there, alternating through either shooting down the ships with his heat vision or flying straight into the ships, taking advantage of his vulnerability.

Nearby the Man of Steel was a dark colored man who wore what appeared to be an all-black jumpsuit with the symbol of his ring on his chest that showed a somewhat muscular form. He was also wearing green boots and arm guards and had a lower triangle reaching down and connecting to the symbol on his chest. Although, Naruto didn't know if the boots and armguards were real or just painted with the suit. His eyes were glowing green with energy and had the look of a soldier who's ready for battle. The ring on the man's hand glowed with power as he fired his own source of energy beams at the oncoming aircraft fighters.

The woman who resembled a hawk tried to shake off a persistent ship that followed her every move, while it continued to shoot energy beams at her. Eventually the alien ship's beam had hit its mark, making the woman shout in pain as she fell on the cliff side.

The alien ship swerved prepared to swerve back around to finish off the downed hawk. Seemingly from nowhere, another woman flew to her side, in an act to protect the fallen woman.

She was a long haired woman with wavy raven black hair that looked silky and well groomed; she had deep blue eyes, red lips and a well formed and flawless face. It was as if she was either blessed by the gods in this world, if there were any, with great beauty and no doubt her family would be gifted with such as well. She was definitely the kind of woman Naruto's Godfather and sensei would have loved to research about. Her body was well sculpted and had no signs of fat anywhere that did not need it. Her bust was very well formed and was around the same size as Hinata. The getup she had on was comprised of a pair of silver bracers, a pair of star shaped earrings, a type of sleeveless and strapless top that was made from red with some sort of marks in gold in the middle and the "wings" that were on the area of her well-formed bust. On the waist was a golden metal belt, and the lower part made from blue material that looked metallic with stars on it. There was a golden lasso on her hip and she wore half calf boots with silver metal. Naruto found himself entranced a bit by her beauty.

"Allow me" The woman spoke with confidence. She brought her wrist bands out in front her, deflecting multiple beams of energy from the alien ship. Obviously the wrist bands were made out of some impressive material to have so easily deflected the energy beams. The beams casually reflected off the wrist bands, directly hitting its shooter.

The alien ship exploded in a shower of sparks, but the remaining wreckage hurtled down at the two women. Seeing the destroyed wreckage descending down on the two women, Green Lantern used his ring's power to surround them in a protective barrier that blocked the wreckage from possibly harming them.

By now nearly all the alien aircraft fighters had been successfully destroyed, though Naruto spotted one last incoming ship swooping in for a last surprise attack. It overcharged its weapon, firing a high powered energy beam at the surprised heroes.

Before the beam could hit its target however, a yellow blur sped by the heroes. Lantern momentarily mistook it for the Flash but once he refocused his glowing eyes, he found that it was an entirely different person.

With a swift movement, the energy beam was split in half, with both split beams shot off course and hitting the side of a snowy mountain. Before the ship could prepare another salvo of energy beams, the figure slashed his sword across the air, propelling a translucent wisp of energy at the incoming alien ship. The unknown energy hit the wing of the ship, damaging it in the process and sending it spiraling out of control into the mountain side.

The katana Naruto held had a glistening silver blade with a sharpened tint of black surrounding its blade edge. The guard's appearance held two Rinnegan eyes that were divided by a yin-yang design and the hilt had a cool blue colored theme with white diamonds etched along its exterior. Naruto's sword had finally achieved its sentience mid-way through his training. It had taken a few months for the sword to adjust itself and accept Kurama's chakra. It turned out that the katana took a female persona and she had quickly grown attached to Naruto. After much contemplation Naruto had given her the name of Megami no ikari (Goddess's Wrath), which suited her personality.

Naruto touched down with a soft thud as his feet slightly sunk into the thick snow. "Thanks for your assistance. I'll summon you again soon." He softly whispered to his sword.

The sword in his hand seemed to hum with a feeling of life, speaking in a respectful feminine tone. "My pleasure Naruto-sama, though I must admit that I'm disappointed to be returning so soon after my first appearance."

"Don't worry; you'll have plenty of opportunities to show yourself again." Without another word he sealed his sentient sword back into his personal storage scroll that he had made specifically for her.

XxX

The group of heroes soon began to gather near where Batman's plane had been set. Down the mountain side a red blurry figure sped up the mountain at speeds that even impressed Naruto, for he had slight difficulty tracking its movement. He suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia as it reminded him of Guy and Rock Lee's speed when they released their inner gates, moving at inhuman speeds that even more experienced eyes would have trouble keeping track of.

It stopped the moment it reached Batman's downed plane. The figure turned out to be the Flash, carrying the severed half of the wing for Batman's plane. Flash wore an all red flexible looking jumpsuit that had yellow colored lightning bolts strapped to the side of his head where his ears would be. This was complimented by a pair of shiny yellow, as well as another yellow themed bolt of lightning stenciled across the middle of his chest. His face currently wore a comical expression and he had an air of hyperactivity about him.

"Hey bats, I think you dropped this." He spoke with a tone full of humor. In that moment the group of heroes gathered, with Naruto slightly lagging in the back as he waited to see how this would play out.

Flashed eyes widened comically when he caught a glimpse of the beautiful raven haired woman who wore the American themed armor. "Whoa, where have you been all my life?" he asked playfully as he carelessly gave Batman the portion of his wing.

"Themyscira" The woman answered stoically, not understanding the underlining meaning of his question. Flash just looked at her dumbly with a 'huh?' as his only response.

"The home of the Amazons, I always thought it was merely a legend." Spoke Hawkgirl as she touched down on the ground alongside Green Lantern.

'Amazons?' Naruto mentally tasted the word. He had come across such a term during his time studying the Earth's history, but he couldn't remember its meaning.

'Amazons are the fabled tribe of only female warriors, whose origins are said to take place somewhere in Greece but that is unconfirmed. In a way I guess you could say they're like that Shizuka girl from Nadeshiko Village' Kurama informed.

'Wow can't believe you remembered something like that.' Naruto said with slight disbelief that the fox would remember such a small detail as his mind wandered to the memory of Shizuka. She had been a strong Kunoichi who fought like Tenten and Temari mixed together with how she used wind and weapons to fight. She definitely had Tentens aim that was for sure.

'I had to remember most of the information for us since if I recall, a certain blonde seems to have some sort of short memory loss; even with the help of a couple hundred clones.' Kurama replied, jabbing at Naruto's still blatant stupidity.

"Hey you can't put that against me. You know studying was never my strong suit" Naruto pouted at Kurama's insults towards his lack of intelligence.

'Trust me I know.' Kurama grinned at a now irritated Naruto. Naruto secretly promised himself that he would get back at Kurama for that in some way, but for now he listened to the Amazon finish her introduction.

"I assure you it's as real as the ground we stand on. I am Diana, princess of the Amazons." She introduced herself, attempting to make a good first impression on her first time outside in Man's world.

"Pinch me, I'm dreaming." Flash spoke with a dreamy expression. Superman who stood next to him, gave Flash a "gentle" elbow that brought a small amount of pain to the speedster.

Diana continued on with her explanation. "Themyscira is protected by the gods, but I could not idly stand by when the world was in danger." She spoke nothing but the truth as she was not one to let another innocent life suffer if she had anything to say about it. Besides, she may find the target she was sent to look for, fighting against the aliens.

The group of heroes suddenly remembered the other hero who had arrived at the last minute. Naruto saw that the attention was now pointed towards him and they were waiting for him to introduce himself. Most of the heroes here had already guessed who the blonde hero was and a certain bat had even met him, but for the sake of introductions, Naruto decided to officially introduce himself to the rest of the heroes.

"Many of you here may have already guessed who I am but for those of you who haven't heard of me yet, you can call me the Hokage." A collection of nods went by as he had confirmed their assumptions (except Diana).

"Well it was lucky that you all showed up when you did." Superman put it, showing his appreciation for their assistance.

The green skinned being that could turn intangible brought everyone's attention towards himself. "No, not luck. I telepathically summoned them here." He spoke in a clear but monotone voice.

"So you're the one who tried to contact me all those months ago?" Naruto questioned, finally finding out who was responsible for the visions he had.

"Yes I am. I'm sorry to have troubled you but it was imperative that you all know what was going on. I had no chose but to contact each of you since this threat is too much for just one hero to handle alone."

Flash chose that moment to put his two cents in. "You know I'm normally quick on the uptake, but would something please tell me what the heck is going on here?"

The rest of the group turned to the green being for the answer as they to wished to know as well. The being had come to introduce himself as J'onn J'onzz, began to tell his story of his people and of the aliens that had invaded Earth.

It turns out that about 1,000 years before today's current events, J'onn's people were Martians who once lived a very peaceful and prosperous life on Mars. There society was so peaceful that they felt no use for any form of weapons whatsoever. This later become a great disadvantage for their species when the very same aliens who were now attacking Earth, had invaded Mars.

As J'onn said even after fighting the invading aliens, they never found out their reasoning for attacking his people only that they were determined to conquer them, and nearly succeeded in the process. The battle for Mars raged on for centuries. Countless died under the reign of the aliens, but the Martians quickly began to learn the ways of war. The Martians fought valiantly, but in the end the aliens were a parasitic type of species who fed on their psychic energy.

Their forces strength only increased after they had absorbed the Martian's ability to shape shift, while the Martian's forces kept depleting. All hope seemed to be lost, but in a last ditch effort, the Martian planned one last final desperate assault. With the creation of a powerful nerve gas, they were able to set it off inside the alien's main strong hold, effectively paralyzing them all. But unfortunately, the Martian's victory had not come without devastating loss. All but J'onn was left of his once peaceful race; the last of the Martians.

In the end he locked them all up in their citadel, keeping them constantly in a state of suspended animation. He continued to watch over them for over 5 centuries, but one fateful day while J'onn slept in a hibernation cycle an astronaut from Earth had accidently set the hostile aliens free.

"Wait a minute. Those astronauts never said anything about finding life on Mars." Flash spoke in a confused manner.

Green Lantern snorted, crossing his arms. "Some pencil pushy in Washington probably decided to classify it as classified information."

Naruto on the other hand disagreed with that choice of thinking. "I don't think that's entirely accurate. Something seems wrong about this whole situation." Naruto decided to voice his thoughts, once again gaining the attention of the group of heroes.

Superman asked the question that was on everyone's mind. "What do you mean by that Hokage?"

Naruto took a moment to ponder the question, carefully thinking of how to respond. "Well…" He began slowly. "It just seems strange that the astronauts never reported back any sightings of these clearly hostile aliens. We would have at least been prepared better for the invasion otherwise. They must have already made their move the moment they were reawakened...Wait J'onn didn't you mention that the aliens took your people's ability to shape shift?"

The Martian nodded in response, already thinking where the Hokage was going with this. "Then it may be possible that the aliens could have taken the form of the group of astronauts so as to successfully infiltrate our world without our knowing of it." Naruto finished.

"With all the Martians gone, the invaders had nothing left to feed upon, so they set their sights on Earth. I only narrowly escaped to warn others of the coming danger. While I was being held against my will, the invaders sent advanced agents to disable Earth's defenses."

Batman decided to put in his say as well, remembering the events of six months prior. "It would explain the mysterious destruction of Wayne techs Deep Space Global Satellite Networks; as well as the recent push for the disarmament of all our nuclear weapons. All of it was to cripple our defenses, so as to make it that much easier to take over."

Green Lantern's eyes glowed green with anger. "If they think we're just gonna stand by and take this, then they gotta another thing coming!"

A horrified look crossed Superman's face. "But… If that's true, then Senator Carter is one of them… and I unwittingly helped them lower our guard." The realization of his mistake struck the Man of Steel hard as he felt this situation to be painfully similar to the Darkseid incident where he had been manipulated against humanity.

Naruto could see the guilt washing over Superman and decided to intervene as they would need him to be in top form. "Don't let this get to you Superman. If anything thing, you should use this as that much more of a motivation to stop them before it's too late."

"It may already be too late." J'onn spoke in a grave tone, facing towards the sky in another direction. The heroes turned to where he was looking and off in the distance they could see dark clouds forming. Lightning boomed across the cloud, giving off an ominous feeling. All the gathered heroes could not help but fear for the Earth's future as the clouds began to spread across the sky.
