I make no claim to either, I am merely playing in their sandboxes.

"What happened?" Naruto asked, shaking his head.
"I'm not entirely certain." Kurama admitted from inside the seal.
"I think I might know…" Kushina said from behind him and everyone turned to look at her. "I remember hearing of an ability used by the Rabbit Goddess before she was defeated by the Sage of the Six Paths, the ability to turn the moon red and transform those ensnared by its light into white warriors…"
"The Zetsu." Minato realized and Kushina nodded.
"The moon was turning red and I could feel strange chakra trying to invade my body through my eyes and then… then I was just here."
"We need to stop it." Naruto stated. "Kurama, are you affected by it?"
Kurama sniffed and Naruto nodded. "Good, then we simply go Gigantic on him."
"Madara has the powers my father had and more beside." Kurama pointed out. "I do not think our merged self will be enough, especially since I sensed that he has power equal to the Juubi inside him. We will need… more…"
"Hey!" Minato shouted as he pointed up. "What about that? Do you know how to use it?"
Naruto followed his father's finger, his gaze travelling up the two strange pillars to where they joined…
"Ho… Lee… Shit…" He finally managed. "Kurama?"
The Kyuubi craned his neck, his eyes travelling up the pillars. "…why didn't I realize what those pillars were before?"
"If we're doing this, we need to do it fast." Naruto stated as he rose into the air. "Dad, can you open Kurama's cage for me? We'll need him free for this."
Minato opened his mouth to protest, then sagged. "Dammit. Saving the world and all that… alright. I'll try to open it, but given how it's changed… how did you do that?"
Kushina stepped away from the now-open gate, a smirk on her face. "Who taught you the Uzumaki Sealing Style again?"
"Alright, let's do this!" Kurama exclaimed as he exited the prison that had held himfor over a decade and leapt onto the giant leg, scrambling up it.
"I see four places." Naruto called down. "Kurama, you go in the chest. I've got the head. Mom, Dad, the pauldrons…"
"We're coming!" Kushing shouted back as she wrapped one chain around her husband, picking him up, then used the others to begin pulling herself up the colossus.
"If this is like what Kurama and I do on the other suit, we'll have our minds merge, but afterwards, we won't have access to any of our own thoughts, so I won't remember your ascension to Hokage or your wedding and you won't remember my discovery of the armor." Naruto explained as he positioned himself over the depression in the forehead-metal of the giant helmet. "Just… just try to relax and go with the flow, we're only getting one chance at this!"
"Heh, this will be fun!" Kurama barked with laughter before he vanished into the hole between the chest-plates, a hole that closed up behind him. Naruto leaned back and felt himself sinking into the metal with a sensation not unlike floating in a comfortably warmed bath. Kurama's mind reached out to him and he grabbed it, then he felt two more presences join him, flowing around him and warming him with their love even as they fused into him, all of them becoming something far greater…
Something never seen before.
Something that exceeded their expectations.

Before them, a small being almost glowing with power landed on a stone statue, facing away from GUYVER.
"I have created a new world!" he shouted, even though there was only one who was paying attention to him. "Are there any who would still oppose me?"
The opportunity was too good to pass up and GUYVER responded.

Madara spun round and GUYVER looked at him, then activated the Mega Smasher array that adorned his brow in place of the beam weapon that the smaller versions mounted. The thirteen hexagonal lenses glowed, then unleashed their energy sequentially, sending blast after blast to annihilate the small man and the statue that he was standing on.
"You dare strike at me?" Madara screamed as he rematerialized. "Feel my power!"
Purple chakra formed around the resurrected Shinobi, lifting him into the air as it began to form into armor, then the very air around Madara seemed to ripple and twist as he summoned the Juubi into existance, the cyclopean monster forming inside the armor, is sole eye glaring out through the right eyehole even as its ten tails lashed behind it.
"Feel the power of the Ten-tails!" Madara's amplified voice shouted as the Susanoo-enhanced Biju stood upright, chakra-swords forming in its hands. "You cannot stop me! You. Will. DIE!"
NNNN_._._._NN_._._._OOOOOO_._
NNNN_._._._NN_._._._OOOOOOO_

GUYVER swung its left arm in a devastating punch that was blocked by the Madara, but which cracked his forearm armor. The damaged plate seemed to shimmer and reform, then Madara slashed down with his blades, only for them to be blocked by GUYVERS forearm blades. For a long moment, the two giants matched their strength, then Madawa disengaged in a whirl of blades and leapt back, using his tails for balance. A moment later, a dark-red chakra sphere began to form at the end of each tail, then Madara spun round, using the resulting whipping motion to hurl the ten Bijudamas at his adversary. Guyver reacted by summoning small singularities in its hands and projecting them forwards, each one negating one of the spheres.
"This cannot be!" Madara screamed, his enhanced voice echoing. "I am all-powerful!"
Madara lunged forwards, more chakra-bades materialising at the end of each tail and GUYVER responded by pulling open one chest-panel, revealing a collection of lenses each five times larger than the normal ones. Madara howled as he tried to attack, only for the torrent of pure power to blast him backwards, straight into the wreckage of what had once been his statue with half of his armor destroyed.
Madara erupted out of the cloud of debris, his armor already reforming as he used his tails to propel himself forwards, but GUYVER had sensed the gravitational distortions that showed his movement and was already moving out of his way, one giant fist swinging round in a roundhouse strike that buried itself in Madara's gut, smashing through the chakra plates as if they were nothing more than thin china.
"…glrk…"
Madara staggered back, then he glared at GUYVER and his single eye began to whirl.
"Tsukiyomi!"
GUYVER felt the waves of chakra try to penetrate into his mind, but his merged self combined with his chakra-infused plating and lenses stopped the attempt stone-dead.
"What are you?! How did you resist my Tsukiyoma?"
GUYVER considered answering, but even as he thought about it, Madara attacked again, all ten tails lashing forwards with chakra-swords blurring through the air. Rather than try to block, GUYVER used his gravity control to simply fly backwards, allowing the blades to slash uselessly at the air.
Madara stumbled and GUYVER took advantage of his momentary distraction to fire a single, relatively small blast…
…straight into the Rinne-Sharingan that was glaring through the eye-hole.
With a scream of agony, Madara released his form for an instant and glared at GUYVER through the fading body, his third eye fading into a milky white, then the armoured giant reformed, showing no sign of damage.
"Do you really believe that you can win?" Madara thundered and Guyver looked upwards.
YY_._._._YY_._EEEEEEE_._SSSSS SS

Madara followed GUYVER's gaze into the sky…
…and the moon which was returning to its normal hue due to the collapse of the Infinite Tsukiyomi.
"NOOOOOO!"
Madara spun back to face GUYVER, only to find himself grabbed around the throat. Before he could react, GUYVER accelerated upwards, spinning so that Madara was stretched out by the centrifugal force, erupting out of the atmosphere like a dolphin from the sea.
As Madara's form started to waver, GUYVER hurled him towards the sun, then opened both of his chest panels, energy pooling in the giant lenses before they erupted outwards, slamming into Madara and pushing him towards the sun at a fraction of the speed of light.
GUYVER watched the disintegrating form vanish into the distance, then he moved slightly to look at the smaller Guyvers that were accelerating upwards to join him.
#Naruto?#
GUYVER expelled the super-heated gas from his vents, then let himself descend back down to the Valley of the End, the smaller units orbiting him like planets around a star. As he touched down, his form wavered before vanishing, and a single figure dropped towards the ground, only to be caught in a bridal carry by the pale lavender Guyver.
"We need to get him to safety. I don't know what or how he did that, but it seems to have taken a toll on him."
The armored warriors flew away as below them, the assembled armies began to wake up from their induced trances.
