Recruitment Arc Prelude- He's the Strongest!

(Sorry in advance to Juggernaut fans)

"We need to get out of here pronto!" Logan barked from the door as he was keeping watch while the injured got loaded up safely.

"What's the situation?" a familiar voice rang in Logan's ears.

"Nothing too new has changed, telepathy is down, and this rock is currently going down. I'm pretty sure you can put two and two together, can't ya, half pint."

"It's him, do you really think so?"

"Come on kid have you ever known that guy to break a promise." Logan offered a small smile before changing his demeanour "Hurry up and help the others with loading these guys onto the blackbird. Boy Scout is unconscious and the same with his brother make sure there still restrained."

"Right!" Jubilee nodded and despite the current situation couldn't help but keep a smile off of her face.

With the addition of Jubilee, everyone was loaded up onto the ship a lot faster.

Onboard Kurt and Emma were prepping the jet for take-off.

"Emma! Can you do one more sweep to make sure no one else is here?" Hank called out as he had just strapped in after he applied a tourniquet to Havoc who had his arm broken from fighting Kurt and Emma.

"Telepathy is down," Emma Frost shouted back as she flipped the final couple of switches to engage the engines. "Last time I checked several escape pods were launched and all of our people are in here." 'Even though with telepath being cut that normally means he's here.' Emma thought as a familiar face flashed through her mind.

"Everyone strap in it's gonna be a rough one!" Kurt shouted as he fixed his headphones over his pointed ears.

"You heard the elf and the blonde," Logan shouted as he strapped his seatbelt. While Logan knew his healing factor would protect him from a crash landing it wouldn't help anyone if he was flung into his students, with his adamantium skeleton he knew it could cause some damage.

The jet engines began to ignite pushing toward the hangar bay. The two pilots glanced at each other Kurt pushed the throttle to maximum causing the thrusters to spew orange and blue flames blasting out of Asteroid-M.

Earth- Upper atmosphere

The X-Jet jet could be seen rocketing out of the asteroid's main landing bay.

With the humanoid rocket, he got the alert, cancelled his thrust and allowed gravity to take hold of him briefly before rocketing over towards N'Azzari.

"They hit the afterburners so good luck boss," Sam whispered as he passed by the Prince who was still focusing on the Asteroid.

'Pah! Like I need luck for this thing.'

The Prince of Wakanda cancelled his power holding the giant space rock at bay. N'Azzari began focusing on crafting a typhoon of space in his palm, a near-perfect blue orb created from spatial eddies, before fusing wind into the mix to recreate a turquoise version of his Rasenshuriken.

Whilst the omega-level mutant was focusing on his powers the asteroid began to enter Earth's atmosphere which could be seen from the orange aura and embers starting to form along the edges.

"Yeah, I don't think so," N'Azzari said as he reared his hand back the wind being generated from the attack in his palm, should have been rustling his hair and clothes but due to infinity nothing on his person was being affected by the strong winds. The familiar screech, coming from the attack made the Prince excited for the result.

'Finally, I don't have to hold back as much!' he thought in excitement before he took a step forward on the very air and pivoted his hips, swung his arm forward and let his technique fly true.

What followed was an explosion that lit up the sky, the clouds instantly evaporated from the force of the blast, which was soon followed by a shockwave that almost knocked Sam for a loop and rocked the X-Jet which made all aboard feel like they trying to fly through a level 4 hurricane.

"What the hell is going on?!" Kitty Pryde shouted as she clutched onto the arms of her seat as her life depended on it

"Ha!" Logan half laughed aloud. "He's just as nonstandard as ever."

"Who?" Rogue asked this time as Kitty looked ready to puke from the shockwave/turbulence, as it began to die down.

"Limitless," Jubilee spoke up "Logan's just excited for their yearly brawl, and you will probably meet him soon, barring he doesn't do anything stupid."

Boom

BOOM

BOOM!

Hearing the sound barrier being shattered brought Emma's attention to the sonar.

"Logan!" the young woman shouted before nodding her head to the sonar display. Logan glanced at it from his seat.

"We got incoming."

It only took a few more moments before the incoming was on top of the ship.

The X-Men were tense after the battle they just had they didn't need a fight. The all glanced above to see a man in a black suit with orange accents covered in a crimson light.

"Erm Jubilee, since when could the Prince fly?" Logan called out.

Jubilee just looked up and saw her friend coated in an erratic red aura that seemed uncontrolled and wild like static electricity.

"I didn't know he could," Jubilee gasped as she locked eyes with her best friend, he winked at her as he zipped off. 'Gone in a red flash,' Jubilee thought as she looked away, she missed the orangish blur that sped after N'Azzari.

As the X jet flew after Limitless and Cannonball inside the plane several of the X-Men were in a discussion about what occurred on this last mission and for the new members of the team who was that guy who blew up the entire asteroid. Emma glanced towards the back of the jet and spotted Scott's unconscious form.

'Oh Scott,' she thought with worry.

"Emma, radio into the mansion, with your telepathy down we need to contact Charles," Hank spoke up as he realised with N'Azzari nearby no telepathy would be able to reach them or we reach out. 'Unless Jean was using Cerebro then maybe. Might be an interesting test to conduct when we get back home.'

"Right yeah," Emma said before turning to face the console and reaching for the radio. "This XJ1 come in XM1."

The X-Jet stayed quiet awaiting a response only to hear silence.

"XM1 come in this XJ1, do you read?" Emma tried again.

Avengers Mansion- Manhattan New York

Inside a laboratory filled with suits of advanced armour stood a man suited up in red and gold armour with a glowing centrepiece looking at a holographic screen displaying the destruction of the asteroid.

"Crisis averted Mr Stark." A voice spoke over the speakers into the room.

"That kind of power is ridiculous, but still JARVIS ran back the stream about before the energy disc of death was formed," Stark ordered. "And run the playback at half speed."

"Ready when you are sir."

"Now firstly analyse that suit, our mystery person is wearing."

"Analysis completed. The suit is made up of a complex vibrainium weave. Typically found within Black Panther's armour."

'Vibrainium? T'Challa has been holding out on us,' Stark thought as he ordered JARVIS to continue playing so they could analyse the power displayed.

Shield Hellicarrier- Undisclosed location

Alarms were going off across the entire ship, a standard response for an imminent extinction event.

"Shut those damn alarms off! And someone show me what the hell happened to that damned asteroid!" A bald man with an eyepatch ordered his crew.

"Fury sir, over here the data sent straight from SWORD." A woman spoke up from the man's left.

As the man walked over to his second in command and stood behind her chair as he glanced down at the video stream from space.

The asteroid where the not-so-secret mutant battle was going on had launched several pods that re-entered the atmosphere as the giant rock was being pulled into Earth's atmosphere by her gravitational pull. After a few more seconds what appeared to be blades of wind sliced the asteroid in half before some kind of blue, greenish core exploded, and then nothing.

'Where's the rest?' Fury thought to himself. "Maria?"

"SWORD guessed that the shockwave destroyed the satellite monitoring the situation," Maria answered back almost instantly "Here are all of the readings of energy output we got on that.

"Hill am I reading this correctly?"

"Sir?"

"Tell the egg heads up in Sword to check it again, we're going to run tests off our readings as well," Nick spoke with authority as he stood back and turned to address the crew. "Everybody else we are on our way to the blast site to see what new threat we could possibly be dealing with. And can someone shut that mother fucking alarm off!"

'Whatever that was it sliced through an asteroid-turned space station like a hot knife through but and then blew the fucking thing up. Charles better have some fucking answers for me.' Fury thought to himself as he looked towards Maria Hill. "Maria contacts Widow, I want eyes on Xavier's damned school."

"Yes sir!"

Castle Doomstadt- Latveria

"So that fool failed, expected but that boy intervened, that is unexpected." A man in a metal mask who sat on a throne in a laboratory as he watched a large mirror made of multiple shards of dark glass floating before him.

With a wave of his hand, the man dressed in iron-cold metal willed the transmission mirror to display a map of Wakanda.

'That boy will need monitoring, maybe some mercenaries will do but who?' The man thought as a few names flew through his mind.

"Wakanda are you so sure of your power, that you allow your greatest weapon to roam so far off its leash? The arrogance." The man spat before an idea formed. "Wakanda for your arrogance you shall fall to Doom," Doom announced as he went to work plotting his dark deeds.

Xavier's School for the Gifted- Westchester New York

"Why is it so foggy we can't see shit?" Logan said as he stood next to Kurts peering through the window.

"Maybe it's Storm," Kurt responded as he flew jet straight back to their home base 'Not to mention we lost those two. The jet just couldn't keep up even with the afterburners.'

As Hank and Emma were working on the radio, they missed twin flashes of orange and red which Kurt and Logan saw through the fog.

"Brace yourselves!" Logan shouted as he had a feeling what was coming.

BOOM

BOOM

Twin sonic booms tore through the air sending brief shockwaves that shook the plane once more.

"Our eta is two minutes!" Kurt spoke loudly so everyone could hear him.

"And still nothing on the radio," Emma cursed as Beast was currently out of his seat trying to see if there was anything wrong with the radio on their end.

"I'm getting a bad feeling about this," Kurt spoke up as they broke through the fog and clouds and looked down upon their base, their school and home.

"Oh my God," Kurt's voice drew everyone's attention to their home.

"What the fuck!" Logan shouted as he slammed his fist down "What happened while we were dealing with Magneto."

What everyone was looking at was the east wing of the mansion was just decimated.

"It's levelled," Rogue commented while Kitty was just shocked.

"What's that?" Jubilee spotted a bright orange explosion in the distance towards the back of the grounds.

"Not the priority now," Beast spoke in a serious tone.

"Emma you watch the boys while trying to re-establish communication with someone. Nightcrawler lands us on the basketball court, then assists Shadowcat and Beast with searching for our people. Rogue you with me and Jubilee and we will check out that explosion." Logan ordered.

After they landed and began exiting the Jet Logan sniffed the air and began growling with rage.

"Juggernaut!" Wolverine followed the scent towards where they were heading. Logan started dashing at top speed in that direction.

"Jubilee come on we keep on moving if we want to catch him," Rogue said snapping out whatever thoughts that were going through the younger girl's head.

"Right."

Over in the distance at the sight of the explosion stood three men to standing in the way of one.

"Get out of my way you snivelling runts." The larger man ordered.

"Well this turning into an eventful day isn't it," Limitless commented flippantly seemingly ignoring the hulking giant of a man.

"You do know that he is the Juggernaut, right?"

"Eh, is he? I thought he'd be taller." The prince said to Sam before turning back towards the Juggernaut "I thought you'd be taller!"

"I'm going to squish you flat, punk."

"Cannonball don't move, give me like 30 seconds. Yeah, that should be enough time." N'Azzari said as he began stretching.

"Thirty seconds? you're not serious that's Cain Marko aka the Juggernaut."

"Very serious, I was in the middle of something before this asteroid fiasco and since I'm in America for a limited time I'm going get myself some Inumaki's Ramen," N'Azzari said in a deadly serious manner as he walked forward stepping in front of his friend.

"Ramen? Seriously Jubillee is right you are a ramen nut job."

N'Azzari span on his feet now dramatically facing his friend pulling an equally stupid pose.

"Damn straight! I'm always serious about ramen." 'Hope you're proud of that one Jiraiya-sensei.'

"Enough of this, SHUT UP AND DIE," Juggernaut roared as he began sprinting at the two dweebs. "YOU THINK YOU CAN DISRESPECT ME," he shouted as the behemoth of a man leapt into the air ready to strike down on the punk-ass weaklings who sneaked him and knocked him away from finishing off his brother.

Seeing as Limitless had his back turned to his incoming enemy Sam's eyes widened.

"Look out!" the blonde-haired mutant shouted as watched Juggernaut slam down on his friend. The impact of the collision knocked up a huge shockwave that knocked Cannonball backwards.

4

"Shit!" he cursed as he lost his footing and fell onto his back but thinking quickly he used his momentum to roll backwards to into a standing position. Stable but still skidding backwards he aims his hands behind him activates his own powers and generates thrust to slow himself down to a stop.

As the dust cloud settled to figures were still standing Juggernaut stood in a hunched-over position his eyes red from rage, his fists buried in the Earth.

Cannonball then looked upward slightly and let his jaw drop his brain failing to process the audacity of the Prince.

Limitless just casually crouching on Juggernaut's upper back, just casually with his foot stepping on the back of Juggernaut's head.

"Ramen is after all the food of the Gods. Now then, Juggernaut we've got an audience so I'm going to show off a little." N'Azzari continued to rant about his favourite food like nothing happened. As he was talking, he moved rapidly quickly leaping off to the right-hand side slightly before raising his left leg to his chest and unleashing the mother of all kicks to the side of the head which knocked the Juggernaut for a loop sending him clattering to the floor.

N'Azzari quickly hopped backwards getting some distance.

10

'Shinobi tactic number 9 Rage fuels great power but blinds even a steady hand,' N'Azzari thought to himself, even though it was an old proverb from the land of fire Monks that N'Azzari adopted into his own personal guidebook. The meaning rage can be a great tool to use in battle but be wary for it may blind even the most steady hand, and as shinobi, we always have a steady hand, our kills must be clean and precise we are not butchers we ar not bandits we are professionals.

"RAAAH!" Juggernaut roared dragging his right fist through the earth and blasted the rocks towards the black-suited teen weaved in between the debris.

"Come on is this the best you can Juggernaut? I thought maybe you give me a challenge. Make me feel something." N'Azzari taunted just as his opponent charged towards him once again.

'Jheez it's like fighting a less annoying Juugo,' N'Azzari thought to himself before clasping his hands together and disappearing causing Juggernaut to miss his first swing.

The prince reappeared behind his current enemy in almost the same instant.

17

"Oh, so close," N'Azzari said in the most patronising tone he could make but in that same moment Juggernaut swung behind him aiming a backfist towards the teenage bug.

"You ain't the first teleporter I fought brat!"

N'Azzari's eyes widened ever so slightly his smirk still on his face he ducked underneath the wild swing and leapt forward after the momentum of the swing spun Cain around leaving him open for the knee to the sternum that sent the larger mutant a step backwards before he ate another boot straight in the mouth that sent Cain stumbling back as the prince pushed off the Juggernauts face and stuck the landing.

Kicking up the dirt from his speed the short mutant dashed straight towards his opponent, reaching Cain before he could recover his balance. N'Azzari swung hard and targeted his fist for the sternum once again.

"Gahhhh," was all that came out of Cain's mouth along with spittle and some blood which looked like it was about to land on the prince's mask, but the blood and saliva never reached the prince. In the same instant, the Juggernaut was launched back further by the teen's power further into the forest, the huge body of Juggernaut carving a trench into the earth.

22

'Monstrous, sometimes the world spawns, monsters' Sam thought to himself remembering N'Azzari's own words from a few years ago, as he watched a regular threat to the X-Men get handled like a little brother by the older, strong, brother. 'Sometimes I forget how strong this N'Azzari is, arrogant bastard even named himself Limitless but there is no denying the fact is he is the strongest,' Cannonball thought to himself, he genuinely believed that his friend who was a nation prince if you could believe that was the strongest person in the world.

"You fucking, brat!" Cain roared his rage skyrocketing at the being handled by a child by himself, before leaping out of the trench and tearing the trees in his way down. "You X-men are always a pain, no matter how old you punks are!" Cain shouted as he raised his huge fists high above his head aiming to bring them down on the younger mutant putting all of his weight behind his strike.

'He reeks of magic,' N'Azzari thought as he didn't move as the giant hands of the Juggernaut smashed down on him.

The ground crater from the force, shooting dust everywhere obscuring the two once again.

Sam heard rustling behind him causing him to be one edge as he glanced behind only to sigh in relief as Wolverine, Rouge and Jubilee came out of the forest, but before he could say a word the dust cleared and all could see the crater, that Cain Marko stood in as Limitless had not in moved still maintaining his placement in space. The fists of Cain were at least an inch off from actually making contact.

"Not an X-man and that's now 25, 26, 27." N'Azzari counted as he stepped forward weaving a wild left haymaker and letting loose a left hand of his own, fly aiming for the sternum that he had already targeted throughout this battle. The knee to the sternum was physical strength alone, the big punch that sent the Juggernaut flying into the forest was using the base part of his mutation. But this punch was different wisps of blue-tinted energy could be found wafting from the prince's fist as he applied his spatial amplification.

"28, 29, 30." N'Azzari counted down as his fist connected with the Juggernaut's sternum with enough force to stop him in his tracks. It was at the moment of impact that something strange happened that not a single living soul had seen before not even N'Azzari himself had witnessed. Space it contorted, twisting and churning and looked like a black flash was released.

The prince then felt something break which brought a smile to his face. 'I'm in the zone,' the young prince thought as the Juggernaut had folded over his fist before falling over, to the ground unconscious.

N'Azzari turned around and flashed the peace sign to his friends as if it were a Tuesday when Jubilee, Rouge, and Sam all had shocked expressions on their faces. Logan while not shocked at how he handled Juggernaut was still impressive to witness that level of power.

And in the back of Logan's mind, a whisper sprung forth.

Too much power he's dangerous

'So am I,' Logan thought back before ignoring wherever that came from.

"Is he?"

"Dead?" Limitless responded guessing the question from the nod of the head towards the Juggernaut. "No idea one second," N'Azzari said before kicking the fallen villain onto his back and stamping down on where an intact sternum should be causing Cain Marko to scream from the pain before passing out again.

"He is alive for now," N'Azzari said with a shrug before deactivating his powers and allowing his eye to return to a normal colour behind his mask.

"Telepathy is now up and running."

"Great Emma can maybe get through the others," Logan said as turned on his communicator. "Blondie, Limitless is all tuckered out telepathy is back on."

'I hear you loud and clear!' Emma responded in the X-men's and the former shinobi's mind.

'How are Red and Ororo doing?' N'Azzari thought back broadcasting his question before thinking to himself 'They looked pretty out of it when we flew by'

'They are ok a bit banged up but ok, Xavier is currently unconscious along with Bobby. Hank has moved everyone to the west wing infirmary.'

'Right we will meet you there,' Logan responded before looking towards the unconscious form of Juggernaut. "What are we going to do about this guy."

"Don't guys have the R.A.F.T? over here for supervillains and stuff right?" N'Azzari asked Logan while looking between his friends and the newcomer who he hadn't met yet.

'She's cute,' the prince observed before returning his gaze to his first friend in the States.

"You're early," Jubilee commented as she stepped towards her friend.

"And you're an X-man?" N'Azzari questioned the attire.

"I was only assisting them during cluster fuck of a mission."

"Fair enough. I'm guessing you still want to come along then." N'Azzari said before looking towards the now shorter girl. "I got a couple of things to take care of but as long as your stuff wasn't in the wrecked part of the house I would say you should get packing but how about in a couple of days we officially move out."

"Really?" Jubilee asked not trusting her voice to say more.

"Really after we get some Ramen but enough for now let's head back to the Mansion and check on the others.

Sam watched on as his crush and friend catch up completely oblivious to everything else as Rogue went to stand next to the flyboy of the X-men.

"She will see you, ya know," Rogue feeling a bit bad for the boy she had only been with the X-men for 6 months and even she could see that the boy was down bad for the girl with the pink shades.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Sam responded coldly.

"Sure, you don't" Rogue muttered but decided to drop it "So how did you two end up fighting this meathead?"

"Oh, it was when N'Azzari and I were racing back to the mansion."

Flashback Starts

Two streams of light could be seen speeding through the skies one orange and the crimson red. One speeding light was fuelled by thermo-chemical energy. The crimson light was powered by pushing their body reversing space itself.

'He really mastered the flying, he only asked me for tips last year and he is already this good.' Cannonball thought as he struggled to keep up.

They both lost the X-Jet a while back, but they were both having fun being free. As the two approached the Mansion back in Westchester they came across a partially destroyed school.

N'Azzari paused his flight as he surveyed the destruction before him.

'We were going so fast we couldn't hear the commotion,' N'Azzari thought as he looked down at a portion of the school that had collapsed.

Cannonball carried on flying around the school trying to get a different angle and get an idea of what could have caused this.

As the two mutants were surveying they witnessed thunderclouds form over the school

'Is that?' both young men thought at the same time as the clouds released a powerful bolt of lightning crashing through roof into the school.

Soon after the lightning strike, there were several loud crashes before a large man wearing a domed helmet was thrown out of the school.

"Grrr, you ain't going to stop me from getting to my punk brother bitch." The man cursed as began to make his way back into the school already shaking off the muscular paralysis from the lightning strike.

"Yo Cannonball let's hit the Hi-Low," Limitless shouted loud enough for the whole school to hear.

"Really? You sure that's," Sam tried to inform N'Azzari who that was before he witnessed the red static return as he began to start moving at speed.

The domed helmet-wearing giant looked left and right, but he couldn't tell where those voices came from. Until he heard a noise coming from behind turning around saw an orange fireball coming directly his way.

"A fireball that the best you got." The man commented as he braced himself to tank the attack. What the human-looking titan missed was the crimson flash flying towards him from behind. It was at that moment that N'Azzari hit the back of one of the man's tree trunk-like legs and at the same time, Cannonball barrelled straight into the man's protected face making the assailant lose balance and fall over.

"Yeah I don't think so," N'Azzari roared as he grabbed ahold of the man's ankle and began swinging the big guy around once, around twice and after seven more rotations before releasing the man launching him into the forest toward the back of the grounds away from the school.

Cannonball just watched as the prince carried on rotating looking like a Beyblade spinning at full velocity as the man's helmet was launched into a wall before the big man was launched into the same wall and continued to fly towards the forest area towards the back of the grounds.

Flashback End

"And then we flew over here and Limitless just handled Juggernaut."

"Damn," Rogue said as she looked over to the 6'2 tall teen who looked a few years younger than her now that he removed his helmet as stood in his black tight suit that showed off how muscular he was underneath.

"Well while Logan is dealing with the Juggernaut guy's pick up you can tell me all about it on our way back," N'Azzari said as he and Jubilee began walking over to Rogue and Cannonball.

"Sam, great job with the hi-low man that was sweet." N'Azzari congratulated his friend and soon-to-be squad mate.

"Thank's man but screw that how you handled Cain was ridiculous."

"Meh, I'm a horrible match-up for him," N'Azzari shook off the praise before turning towards the young woman he hadn't officially met before.

"Hi there, I'm N'Azzari, and I don't believe we have met before." The prince introduced himself as he offered his hand to the girl with dark brown hair with white-haired bangs.

THE END

AUTHORS NOTES

So, boys and girls this one literally came off my dome today Juggernaut wasn't part of the plan initially but what do you guys think?

Have I shown off Naruto/N'Azzari in a good light?

I'm trying to treat Omega-level mutants like Special grades from JJK like seemingly unbeatable very powerful but can be overcome with tactics.

Doctor Doom is paying attention same with the Tony Stark.

I figured an asteroid/space station explosion would catch the attention of anyone who watches the space like SWORD/SHIELD.

How were the varying perspectives?

Yes, our protagonist is going to be forming his own group for what purpose you will have to find out.

If anyone cares about this stuff here are the potential ships as of right now with characters introduced so far.

Mystique\Destiny =Together

Cannonball- Jubilee (He has a crush on her)

Emma- Cyclops (She has a crush on him)

Emma- N'Azzari (She has a crush on him)

Jubilee- N'Azzari (She has a crush on him)

Jean\Duncan= together

Cyclops- Marvel Girl/Jean (He has a crush on her)

Nightcrawler- Shadowcat/ Kitty Pryde (he has a crush on her)

Charles Xavier\ Moira McTaggart (It's complicated)

N'Azzari & Rogue just a simple attraction(atm)

Phoenix finds N'Azzari interesting (could be more it she is the sum total representation of all life that has ever, currently is and will ever be so yeah.

Do you think Juggernaut's attack was random or predetermined, is there a puppet master pulling the strings or just unlucky timing with the asteroid M situation?

Sorry to the Juggernaut fans if you feel I jobbed him out, the fight was really fun to write so I'm definitely bringing him back later down the line maybe after a power-up from his patron Cytorak

More Storm and Jean next chapter and we may delve into the Wakandan civil war. I'm not sure if people are interested in that but if enough people want it then maybe, depends on how many people care.

I have some big plans for Rogue in the coming chapters more interactions and can our resident Uzumaki do anything to help out her predicament?

Upcoming arcs-

Recruitment arc-

Return of the U-Men-

Clash of Titans

Negative Zone

With the upcoming arcs, some of it may get heavy, especially with the U-men, but they will be action-packed. As the story progresses it will increase the amount of characters, I'm working with you could probably guess which characters I'm looking to bring in at the Negative Zone Arc.

Also, do me a favour any big-time events from the comics would you be interested in being involved in this story?

Annihilation and Days of Futures Past is already worked into the story in my head at some point but what about Secret Invasion or Infinity or the Age of Ultron,

Leave a review as it feeds my engine of creation

Next Chapter:

Team Building
