The quintet of young super teens sighed as they all looked at the total damage to the area.
"Well, on the Brightside no one got hurt." Naruto commented as he crossed his arms, and looked at the passed out Gordanian.
"Yeah, but what about that thing?" Victor said pointing towards the alien beast. "Can't just be left layin there."
Everyone looked at each other, before watching Naruto walk over towards a pile of rubble. He started scrounge around for a bit, leaving the others to talk. Especially with the new arrival on the scene. Beast Boy was the first to recognize him, and be at awe as he met with him.
"So, dude, aren't you Robin?" Beast Boy questioned with star-eyed smile.
"Good eye, but I must be slacking, didn't know so many others were in my city." Robin stated as he overlooked the group. "I'll have to talk to the Mayor, as well as The Governor about the occurrences here today."
"No biggy." Victor shrugged. "We're just trying to help out, we saw blondie over there and his girlfriend having trouble."
"Not my girlfriend, and I'm not fully blonde, I have a few strands of red hair in my banes!" Naruto interjected at the end as he grabbed something from the ground.
"So, what's in your hand?" Beast Boy asked as he watched Naruto spin it around. "A ring?"
"No, senbon." Naruto told Beast Boy as he continued to twirl it around as he walked over to the Gordanian.
"Sen-what now?" Beast Boy stuttered confused as he watched Naruto stand over the monstrous alien.
Everyone watched as the blonde kicked at him for a minute, the being's eyes fluttered as he took a hard kick to the knee. When his eyes opened, he saw Naruto standing there in front of him, spinning the needle around more in his right hand. "Well, well, seems as though that kick didn't knock you fully out."
"Damnable brats, when my Lord gets here, he'll kill you all for touching his elite hunter." The being grumbled as he tries to stand up, only to receive a hard push from Naruto's foot.
"No, I don't think we'll be hearing from anyone, besides when did you ever have time to-you've been awake most of this haven't you?" Naruto realized as he spoke, before he just looked at Robin. "Guess I misjudged the kick after all."
"That's right, I've been very much awake, in fact I pressed my little locator button. The Gordanian's finest slaver ship will arrive in three hours, and your world will be doomed!" The Gordanian screamed as he began to laugh manically.
"Oh, crap dude…" Beast Boy shuttered as he looked at everyone.
The Golden Fox Boy!
Chapter Four: Alien Invasion?! Part two: Before the storm.
"So, three hours eh?" Naruto questioned as they all stood around the once again knocked out alien, this time it sported a nice fancy large lump across the top of its dome.
Complementary service of one mad, stressed, Cyborg. The said man, now without his overcoat was walking back, and forth in the alleyway the group chose to think in. The worse part of all, the alien girl Naruto saved, kissed Robin and ran off.
Warning them to just stay away from her, fan-frigging-tastic.
"So, let me see the rundown of this, Robin is currently hunting for that girl that smashed faces with him. We're currently in this alleyway we can contemplate on what may be our last day…nay I say last three hours alive, meanwhile Naruto is asleep like a baby in the corner of the alley!" Beast Boy complained as he paced back and forth as well, trying to keep from hyperventilating.
"Well, two hours, and five minutes." Victor commented as he leaned against the alleyway. "Should've just stayed home like gram told me too…but I just needed to walk for some fresh air."
"I just…should've, gah I don't know, not been anywhere near Jump City. I mean I was passing through when I saw you all fighting against that monster, and now we're in some deep mud without an extra pair of clothes." Beast Boy continued as he grasped his head.
"Will cut it out, trying to focus." Naruto suddenly interjected as he opened his eyes, before all the injuries he had sustained began to steam.
"Focus, focus on what?! Are you saying that you got a plan B?!" Beast Boy yelled as both he and Victor looked at Naruto.
"Yep, plan B-down, eh?" Naruto quipped as they looked at him with fiery rage in their eyes, not really accepting the joke.
"Not funny right now dude, aren't you scared that you'll die?" The blonde pursed his lips at Beast Boy's questioned, rubbing his chin, before shrugging and shaking his head.
"Na, I'm all good Dattebayo, besides worrying about death is overrated." Naruto hopped as he yawned. "Besides, I was concentrating on recovering my energy."
"You mean restoring?" Cyborg questioned while trying to correct Naruto.
"Same thing." Naruto retorted with purse lips as he pouted slightly as he looked at the sky above them.
"See something?" Beast Boy asked as he watched Naruto narrow his eyes.
"Nah, just a few lightning bugs, California sure has bright green lightning bugs." Naruto commented as he crossed his arms, and began walking towards the wall of the alleyway.
"Dude exit is that…way…are you serious right now?!" Beast Boy roared as he watched Naruto walk up the wall as if he would be walking normally on a sidewalk.
"I'm not running away, besides, we're in this deeper than ever now. This is no longer about that alien girl, Starfire, right? This about the people of this city, I came from across the US to help, and along the way I did so in other places. If you want to take a stand with me, you'll find me, if not you'll be cowering somewhere." Naruto quietly stated as he stopped walking.
"Dude…" Beast Boy murmured.
"So, hold up, you saying we chicken?" Victor questioned.
"No, I'm saying there is no quit. You do, or you die." Naruto told them as he continued to walk up the building.
"Stop firing at me!" Robin screamed as he took cover behind a car.
"Do not follow me, they'll only want me, get it!" Starfire screamed as she hurled another bolt of energy at Robin.
"You can't fight them by yourself, we'll help you, but you need to calm down!" Robin yelled as he dodged out of the cover, throwing birdarangs at the bolts, making them blow up.
"I don't need your help, helping me is to die!" Starfire screamed.
"You honestly think they'll just leave, I may not be a xeno-expert, but I doubt they'll just leave. You know that don't you, so just calm down." Robin calmly said as he hid behind cover.
"I'm their true prize, once they have me, they'll leave." Starfire stated as she looked around for The Boy Wonder.
"No, they won't! Don't you get it, they'll just enslave humans too, why did you even run away from them then if you knew you'd be putting people in danger!" Robin angrily yelled as he revealed himself.
"I just wanted freedom." Starfire sighed as she dropped her stance, before lowering her head. "I'm a princess from my planet, that's why I'm their prize."
"Okay first, stop, stop referring yourself as a prize. Second, they aren't going to stop." Robin said as he approached her.
"Why do you care?" Starfire inquired.
"Just trying to be nice." Robin answered quickly, without missing a beat.
"No, you won't even last a second against their Slave Army." Starfire sadly spoke as she turned to face the other way.
"Seriously, so that's it? You run away then, we're being nice enough to offer you a chance to redeem yourself in attacking others." Starfire glared at him as he told her off.
"The closest thing to nice in my language is weak…that's why you won't last." Starfire sighed. "If it means anything, I'm truly sorry for bringing your people into this."
"Then stand with us, it's better than standing alone. Your strong, very strong in fact, why not have strength with others?" Robin offered his hand as he smiled, successfully trying to defuse the situation of her running away.
"I…" Starfire stammered trying to find her words, before sighing. "I guess I have no choice."
Robin smiled as she grasped his hand, before wincing at the grip slightly. That's when he heard someone walking towards them, it was Naruto who was had his hands in his parka's pockets. The blonde looked at the two, before looking around.
"Hey…" Naruto said as he looked around, before smiling. "So, I guess you're going to fight as well."
"Affirmative." Robin said as he looked at Naruto smile. "One hour left right?"
"Yeah…oh, and…" Naruto tried to remember the girls name.
"Starfire in your language." The girl commented as she crossed her arms.
"You sure you want to go another round or two with these guys?" Naruto questioned as his tail started to wag slightly.
"The question is, are you?" Starfire inquired as he looked at him. "I gave you a food fight, and Villas gave you a thrashing."
"What doesn't kill me, just makes me stronger Star." Naruto commented as his smile brightened. "I don't know the word quit."
"Hmph, so you sure you want this fight?" Robin questioned.
"Of course, I am Dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed as he smiled brightly.
"What's your story?" Robin questioned
The blonde reached behind him grabbing his scabbard, and soon held his scabbard in front of them, inside of it was his sword. "I'm from Japan's Fuji Mountain actually, I was raised by an old hermit there, and he passed along his knowledge onto me. One of his hopes for me was to never back down from what I believe, and I believe I'm going to kick some ass Dattebayo!"
The blonde had a brighter smile as he spoke, before spinning the scabbard around, and putting back in the grooves on his parka. Starfire, and Robin nodded as they walked over towards him.
Naruto stood on a building as he looked at the moon, he had his eyes closed as he the others were looking at each other. They had managed to scrounge up another teen, Raven, a girl in a purple robe. The blonde opened his eyes before turning around, and looked everyone.
"So…this is a little awkward to ask, but does anyone have any family?" Naruto questioned.
"No." The girl, Raven, said.
"Grandparents." Victor said as he crossed his arms.
"Family in Europe, just that I just went to strike my own." Beast Boy spoke as he sighed. "Biggest mistake I think…"
"Classified." Robin commented.
"Oh, I can already tell you're a party pooper." Naruto quipped as he crossed his arms chuckling.
"So…um, what's your name?" The girl in purple inquired.
"Uzumaki Naruto, The Fox Boy." Naruto commented as he leaned against the end of the chimney on the building.
"I'm Raven…nice to meet you all." The girl timidly spoke as he looked at everyone.
"Nice to meet you too." Starfire solemnly spoke as she fidgeted slightly, looking up in the sky.
Naruto looked at her, before frowning. "Not far?"
"No, at least thirty ijns." Starfire commented. "Minutes in your language."
The blonde sighed as he slowly smiled. "Fight them like you fought me, and we'll be fine. Don't hold anything back Dattebayo. Have my back, and I'll have yours."
"You know kid, for just meeting you, I like ya." Victor stated as he began to smile. "I just hope you can back up your words."
"I carry three aces at all times, my club, my diamond, and my spade." Naruto commented as he pointed at his sword, forehead, and heart. "The Old Hermit I trained under taught me how to propel my powers temporarily above their limits."
"Well, that sounds, cool." Beast Boy commented as he looked at everyone.
"You scared?" Robin asked.
"Yeah…but, I'm not scared I won't make it, I'm scared that I'll fail." Beast Boy spoke as he held his head downwards, before looking up at the sky.
"Then use that fear, fear is a very good motivator." Robin commented. "Batman taught me that."
"Who is this man of bats?" Starfire inquired.
"My mentor, one of the greatest heroes in the world." Robin said as he frowned, and sighed. "I trained under him, but he was always had his way of thinking and I had mine."
"Dude, you broke away from Batman?" Beast Boy inquired. "Must've been something bad."
"It wasn't, we just disagreed on a lot, I occasionally talk to him here and there." Robin explained as he looked Naruto. "You still talk to your master?"
"My Master died when I was younger." Naruto answered. "However, me and him were like grandson and grandfather. He raised me from diapers, and taught me to fight."
"So, why fight?" Beast Boy inquired.
"Because man, look at us, the only normal looking one of us besides Robin is Raven. I got a tail, you're green, and Victor there is half human and half machine." Naruto pointed out.
"Yeah…" Victor said with a frown. "Don't like talking about it."
"I think we should, because dude you did awesome." Beast Boy said. "I think if we can rely anyone here it'll be you."
Victor smiled at that. "You sure string bean?"
"Yeah man, we got'cha, right Raven?" Beast Boy asked.
"Sure…" Raven said as she looked around, before sighing. "I'm sorry if I'm being weird."
"Girl, you're in a cavalcade of oddballs. We got an ex-wingman of a legendary hero, an alien princess, a weird fox boy trained from diapers by his own account to fight, me a Cyborg, and finally broccoli over here." Victor joked as he patted her back.
"Hey!" Beast Boy yelled in argument.
"Oh come on dude, besides you can transform to anything right?" Victor questioned.
"Not really, only natural animals, and Earth ones at that." Beast Boy rubbed the back of his head embarrassed.
"Oh cool, you can turn into a dragon, right?!" Naruto exclaimed.
"No… no fairy tale creatures either." Beast Boy hung his head even lower.
"Eh, but you transformed into a dinosaur earlier!" Naruto pointed out.
"Well, that's about as advance my powers go." Beast Boy chuckled at Naruto's reaction.
"Naruto doesn't fall too far behind." Starfire stated as she looked at him. "We've already battelled."
"Eh…truth be told, I don't know if I was going all out. I've never really, you know, fought to the death." Everyone looked at Naruto with a pail expression, and their eyes twitching.
"Dude…so all that battling was after fighting her, and your saying you haven't gone all out?" Beast Boy added.
"Yeah, I mean I ran out of energy, but that's because I've been going nonstop for two days straight ever since getting here from LA Dattebayo." Naruto commented as he rubbed the back of his head.
"So how old are you?" Robin inquired.
"Thirteen Winters!" Naruto loudly spoke as he pumped his chest out.
"Winters…I mean years." Naruto eyes went white for a moment at the question, and he fidgeted a little.
"Uh…I don't know." Naruto commented as he chuckled. "The old man never really told me exactly."
A loud explosion suddenly filled the air around, the teens all of them looked up as they saw large shadow pass over their building. The blonde turned around, and looked up, his mouth agape, and pointed at the ship. "Sugoi, it's big Dattebayo."
"Ah…crap." Beast Boy stated as they saw the ship hang over the city.
Robin, Raven, and Victor all stayed silent.
The ship turned about, and soon a loud buzz filled the air as the ship started to just hover, causing a large windstorm to kick up. Naruto gripped his palms hard, and focused on the ship's wide assortment of movement.
"Gorsoc…their ultimate slaver ship." Starfire muttered, she fidgeted slightly as she looked at the ship.
However, everyone watched as Naruto smirked as he saw several figures start to fly out from the ship. Following closely behind by an even louder screeching noise than the buzzing, before they all heard a voice over the entire.
"This is The Gordanian Slaver Ship Gorsoc, we're are here to retrieve very valuable property. If you wish to live, hand over the one known as Starfire by morning of this side of the planet. Failure will be met with are Particle Lance blowing you all away!"
Everyone fidgeted, and Robin looked at Starfire. "You forgot to mention the super weapon."
"Still wanna fight?" She retorted only to hear Naruto chuckling.
"Oi, oi!" The blonde yelled as he brought both hands to his side. "I'll give your something else Dattebayo!"
The group watched as the objects coming from the ship headed straight for them.
