Yo, I'm making this cause I'm a big fan of Ben 10 and the concept of viltrumites so I thought why not. Shoutout to bigtrunk for being my beta.

As always I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day.


A young boy of eight years old clad in a red and white bodysuit with blue eyes and the standard black hair of a Viltrumite was sitting in a small pod that was barreling through space. Its destination is unknown to all but the child.

Said child was currently watching a video on a handheld device with a screen, it was a video of his father telling his dying wish, "My son, if you're seeing this then I am dead. The Scourge Virus has killed me. You are the last purebred son of our once great species," The screen revealed a large man with short hair and a thick mustache wearing a bodysuit consisting of red and gray. This was Thragg, Grand Regent of Viltrum.

"It is a sad day for our kind, reduced to one child. We were never able to find the heir of Argall, and I believe that is what led to our demise." Thragg's final message continued on, "I have had your pod programmed to take you to a planet that hosts a species that could possibly be compatible with Viltrumites. I have tasked you with arriving on this planet and implementing yourself within its race. When you become of age you must revive our species from the very brink of extinction with your seed." Thragg had said with a stern visage on his face.

That stern face had softened slightly at his next words, "Be safe my child, we live for thousands of years and I do not want your life cut short because you were reckless. Remember to train your body. Get faster, get stronger, let no enemy defeat you, be the best Viltrumite to ever exist and never hesitate to kill your enemy if it puts your life at risk."

Thragg let a small amount of emotion leak onto his face before regaining control of himself, "Goodbye Naruto, long live the Empire." With his last words said Thragg cut the recording.

The now named child rewound the video and watched it again. He had been watching the video over and over again for days. He did not cry, he couldn't and wouldn't. He was a Viltrumite, he was strong and he was the final son of the Grand Regent. He was bred to be the strongest of his generation and now he was meant to revive his people. He would do so and he would lead them for ten thousand years.

His pod began to beep, signally he had begun to enter the atmosphere of his new home. The outside of the pod caught fire but kept the passenger safe from any damage.

Eventually, the pod crashed into a forest, creating a crater in the soil and scaring off any wildlife. The pod door hissed open allowing Naruto to exit. He stepped out and seeing the crater he was in simply floated upwards out. Instead of stopping once out of the crater, he went higher and past the tall trees to gain a view of his new home.

"Hm," He grunted out and crossed his arms, "So this is Earth? What a backwater planet. No matter, I will achieve what my father has tasked me with. No matter what." Naruto stated with resolve.

"Long live the Empire."


A young human boy of ten years old was sitting in class waiting for the day to end. It was the last day of school and he wanted to leave already to start the road trip he had planned with his grandfather Max Tennyson.

The young boy known as Ben Tennyson looked down and saw a piece of paper before gaining a mischievous look. Grabbing said paper he folded it into a paper plane and threw it at the board, causing his teacher to jump in shock before she turned around and glared at Ben who smiled nervously.

Suddenly the bell rang causing all the children to cheer out and run out of the room. As Ben was about to leave he heard a cough from behind causing him to turn around and see his teacher staring at him while holding the paper plane, he groaned before walking towards her.


Two ten year old boys who were known as the bullies of their grade had cornered a tubby boy against a tree and were intimidating him, "Alright kid, since it's the last day of school I'll make this easy for you. Give us your money and you can go." The taller boy named Cash said with a smug grin on his face while his friend J.T. stood to the side with a smirk.

"Hey!" They heard a shout and turned to see it was Ben, "Why don't you pick on someone your own size." He said with a scowl as he walked up to them.

J.T. and Cash looked at each other before smirking and stalking forward to Ben, "Good idea Ben." Cash said maliciously and reached to grab him.

Before his hand could reach Ben's shirt his wrist was grabbed, causing him to lead his gaze to the person who grabbed his wrist revealing a boy that was much larger than him with muscles that were bigger than Cash's noodle arms, standing at 5'7 with black hair that reached his neck and had cold blue eyes that were glaring at him.

"I thought I told you to stay away from him Cash," He said with a deep voice for his age of fourteen, "Or did you ignore what I said?"

"O-oh hey Naruto," Cash said with a nervous smile, "I wasn't gonna do anything to him. We were just talking. Isn't that right J.T.?" He asked with a nervous glance to his friend while trying to pull his arm away but it wouldn't budge.

J.T. nodded his head vigorously at the question, "Yeah! Just talking!" He exclaimed.

Naruto stared at them both before directing his attention to Ben, "Is that true Benjamin? Were you just talking? Do not lie to me either, I can tell."

Ben stared at Naruto's face before shaking his head no, not trusting his words. Naruto nodded before dragging Cash away and grabbed J.T. as well. He dragged them to the front door of the school where a trash can stood outside. The two boys tried to pull themselves free over and over again but failed.

Naruto walked up to the trash can and kicked the lid, sending it flying before stuffing Cash and J.T. inside while upside down and smushed together. Naruto wiped his hands on his pants before walking in Ben's direction with his hands stuffed in his pockets.

Instead of stopping in front of Ben, he kept walking, causing Ben to run to catch up with him, "Hey Naruto thanks for that but I could've handled them." He said with false bravado.

Naruto grunted before responding, "Whatever you say, Benjamin." He said while looking forward.

Ben made a sour face at that, "Come on man I told you to just call me Ben. We're friends aren't we?" He asked rhetorically, assuming the answer was yes.

Naruto stopped and raised his eyebrow at Ben, "Are we now?" Naruto asked, "You don't know me Benjamin, and I prefer you don't. I am your elder and I only helped you because it was convenient at the time."

Ben was shocked at the statement before lowering his head in sadness, he liked being around Naruto whenever he was nearby. He always helped him even if it seemed like an annoyance. Ben raised his head with a new vigor and determination to become friends with Naruto.

"Well I want to be friends with you!" Ben exclaimed while staring Naruto dead in his eyes, those eyes certainly made him shiver whenever he looked at them. It was as if Naruto held power hidden within himself but never revealed it for some reason, "It would be great to get to know you if you let me! Like do you have any plans this summer with your family?" He asked eagerly, hoping to at least get an answer.

"As I said, you know nothing of me. My family is dead, I live alone after I was emancipated from the foster home I was forced to live in because of yo-" He paused, catching his slip up in time, "Because of our country's laws."

"Oh," Ben said with a saddened voice, "Well… why don't you come with me if you don't have any plans for summer? I'm going on a cross country trip with my Grandpa Max." He stated excitedly.

Naruto simply stared at the boy before speaking, "Why would you invite me on such a thing?" He questioned, it had been six years since he had landed on this planet and their customs were still strange to him.

"Because I want to be your friend and you could get lonely while school is out." Ben said, "Plus you're about to go into high school so I won't see you as much anymore and I want to have fun with you before you're too busy to help me."

"Come on Naruto, it'll be great I promise." Ben pleaded to him, hoping he would say yes. Before Naruto could answer an old looking RV with hints of rust pulled up a few feet away from them. An old man opened the door and yelled for Ben.

"Come on Ben! We're wasting daylight!"

Naruto grunted softly before turning his attention back to Ben, "If you wish for me to come along then I believe you must ask him for permission. I do not want to attend an uninvited trip, that would be rude of me." He stated firmly with his arms crossed.

Ben nodded and ran to his Grandpa Max, instead of getting in the RV he stopped to talk to Max, "Grandpa Max! I have a huge favor to ask!" He exclaimed with a sense of urgency in his voice.

Max looked down at his grandson and smiled, "Well what is this huge favor, Ben?" He asked.

Ben put his hands together flat in a begging way, "Can my friend please come with us for our trip?" He asked while motioning to Naruto who was staring directly at him with an expressionless face.

Max looked at Naruto before looking back at Ben, "I don't know Ben, what would his parents say if he just left without us asking?"

"He doesn't have parents," Ben said solemnly, "He lives by himself and I don't want him to be alone all summer."

Max simply had a face of understanding and sighed, "He can come, go tell him the good news." He said, causing Ben to cheer out.

"YES!" Ben yelled out before running over to Naruto, "He said yes! Come on Naruto let's go!" He exclaimed and grabbed Naruto by the hand to drag him but it was for naught, he simply wouldn't budge.

Naruto pulled his arm along with Ben back and grabbed Ben by the scruff of his neck and brought him up face to face, "I must pack my baggage first Benjamin, I will not wear the same pair of clothing everyday."

"Oh right," Ben said while rubbing the back of his head with a smile. Naruto put him back on the ground and walked to Max. Once in front of him, Naruto raised his hand for a handshake which Max reciprocated.

"Mr. Tennyson, I have been informed I am welcome on your trip. I must pack first, meet me at this address so I may prepare and secure my home." Naruto said and handed Max an index card with an exact address.

"Uh okay, do you just carry these around?" Max asked and got a nod in return, "Well alright, luckily your house seems to be on our way out of town. Why don't you ride with us? We'll stop on the way, it's only a small delay."

Naruto thought it over for a split second before agreeing, "That is acceptable, where shall I sit in your vehicle?" He asked, preferring to have a designated seat.

Max rubbed his chin while speaking, "Since you're the oldest of the kids you'll sit up front with me." With that said Max stepped out and to the side to let Naruto inside who nodded and made his way to the passenger seat.

Max turned his attention back to Ben and waved him over, "Let's go Ben! We need to get a move on!" He yelled which caused Ben to run over and into the RV.

Once inside he looked around only to see his geek of a cousin. Gwen Tennyson, she had orange hair and wore a blue shirt that had a small cat design as well as white pants. Ben groaned at the sight of her and began to gripe.

"Ugh, what are you doing here geek? It was supposed to be just me and Grandpa on this trip." He said with annoyance in his voice.

Gwen rolled her eyes at him, "I was invited last minute doofus. And you're one to talk, who's that guy I just saw walk in here and sit in the front seat?" She questioned him and his hypocrisy.

Ben pointed his thumb towards the front where Naruto sat with his eyes closed, "That's Naruto, he's a friend and Grandpa Max said he could come with us since he doesn't have anywhere else to go."

"What about his family?" Gwen asked, before Ben could answer Naruto spoke up, "I can speak for myself Benjamin. Any kin of mine is long since deceased Gwendolyn, it would be best if this subject was not brought up again." He stated in a stern tone while the two younger ones had a sad face at how he disregarded his dead family.

Max stepped back into the Rust Bucket and closed the door before moving to sit in the driver seat. He readjusted his mirror and yelled out, "Alright kids! Sit down and buckle up. We're gonna have a long drive here soon."

Ben sat down from across Gwen while Naruto silently did as Max said and buckled up despite how pointless it was to do so for him. With that said they drove off with their first stop being Naruto's house.


They had been driving for twenty minutes to get to Naruto's house. The whole group sat in silence with Gwen doing something on her computer and Ben playing a game on a hand held device. Naruto simply had his eyes closed and arms crossed. It seemed like he was asleep already.

"Take the next right down that trail." Naruto said without opening his eyes, it was quite creepy for Max but he did as instructed. He turned down said trail and it was quite long before they finally arrived at a small cabin with bars in the window and a metal security door with the plot of land surrounded by trees.

"Geez son, quite an isolated place for a boy like you." Max said with a hint of concern while Naruto unbuckled and got up to exit the RV.

"It suits my needs of solitude and shelter." He stated without care, "I will return momentarily."

"Do you need any help packing? The kids and I don't mind." Max said while unbuckling before Naruto raised his hand.

"That will be unnecessary, I have it handled." He said with firmness.

Max sat back and nodded while Naruto left and entered his small home. The cabin wasn't much but it was home and that was what he needed.

The cabin had a dresser, a bed, a nightstand and a fireplace for cold nights in the winter despite being unnecessary. Viltrumites did not get cold even in the vacuum of space.

On the nightstand was a small flat device with a button on it. Naruto pressed the button to see a hologram pop up. It was a holographic image of a younger him, his father, and mother. His Father had a serious face while his Mother had a small smile. Young Naruto had a large smile on his face.

He remembered this moment. It was a good memory but that's all it was. A memory. He turned the hologram off and put it in his pocket before using his super speed to quickly pack his bag. He packed his traditional royal clothing as well, deep under the rest of his clothes wrapped in an opaque sheet, just in case he needed it. It was stretchy so the bodysuit would fit him no matter how big he got.

Once finished he exited the cabin and locked the door before locking the security door too. He entered the Rust Bucket once more and sat back in the passenger seat once more while placing his bag at his feet. He buckled his seatbelt and closed his eyes again.

Max turned the RV around and headed down the trail once again. Once they finally made it to the road their trip had officially started.


After a few hours of driving it was now night time and they had arrived at their campground for the night. Once they had set up the tents, the two ten year olds were sitting at the picnic table and doing their own thing with their devices. Max was currently making food for the group while Naruto set up a fire for the night.

He had gathered kindling and plenty of fuel for the fire before creating a spark with some flint he found and a hatchet Max had lent him. The kindling caught the spark and began to burn a bit. Naruto got low and gently blew on the embers to make it grow before the kindling caught on fire and began to burn the kindling before catching onto the fuel he placed around it, causing the fire to grow to suitable needs.

Naruto moved back and sat on the ground as he watched the fire burn bright. It wasn't the brightest thing he had seen, compared to the suns he had witnessed but it was good enough. He sat there and thought for a while. He thought about his life, thought about his family, thought about his planet, thought about this planet. He grabbed a handful of soil and brought it to eye level before tipping his hand and slowly letting it fall back down to the earth.

This planet was so primitive compared to his world, and the people were weak, almost like livestock meant to be slaughtered. Yet for some reason he could feel it changing him. He didn't like change, never did but he adapted. It kept him alive and he would survive. He needed to revive his people no matter the cost.

His thoughts were interrupted by Max calling out as he exited the Rust Bucket, "Alright kids come and get it! Dinners ready!" He placed a large bowl on the table as Naruto walked over, "Grub worm surprise! An old recipe I picked up along the way."

Ben and Gwen made faces of disgust while Naruto had one of curiosity. He grabbed a still wiggling worm and popped it in his mouth, causing the ten year olds to gag. Naruto chewed on the worm and swallowed before he made a pleasant noise and grabbed a small handful of the worms and shoved them in his mouth.

Max chuckled at his eagerness, "Well I'm glad someone likes my cooking." He said with a smile.

Naruto swallowed the worms before speaking, "The food is quite good, it reminds me of my old home." He said with a pleased look on his face.

The old man laughed once more, "Well I've been all over the place kid, I bet I tried every dish in this world and know how to make it to perfection." He stated with confidence.

Naruto grunted softly but did not dispute that, he had kept low and did not use his powers unless the situation required so he had not explored this world fully.

Ben and Gwen had backed off and were whispering to each other, "I got half a chocolate bar and some peanuts. What about you?" Ben asked silently to his cousin who patted her pockets, "I have a bag of trail mix and an apple. Can we make that last the whole summer?" She asked while Ben made a grim face, "We'll have to." He stated.

Only Naruto and Max had eaten the food that was prepared while Gwen and Ben ate what they had. A few hours had passed since dinner and Naruto was once more sitting in front of the fire and feeding it whenever needed.

The tents had been set up already and it was decided that Gwen would sleep with Max while Ben and Naruto shared a tent. At one point the cousins had gotten into an argument, causing the male of the two to storm off into the woods to cool off.

"Hey Grandpa Max," Gwen said, catching Max's attention, "Look. A lot of smoke."

Max looked at the smoke with a frown, "Must be a forest fire. I hope no one is stuck in there." He said before he and Gwen paused for a second before they both yelled at the same time.

"Ben!"

Max ran into the RV and came back out with two fire extinguishers. Max held onto one and tried to give the other to Naruto who was now standing in front of him. He simply shook his head and pointed to the small girl, "Give it to Gwendolyn, I do not require one. You should focus on the fire, I will find Benjamin." He said with a blank look.

Max had a conflicted look on his face before nodding and handing the second extinguisher to Gwen before they ran off into the forest. Once they were out of Naruto's sight line he nodded to himself and floated off the ground before flying above the trees and sped off towards the fire, causing a shock wave that shook the top of the trees.

He quickly scanned the burning forest with his eyes, searching for any sign of Ben. Before long he saw a figure but it looked nothing like Ben and it was not a human. In fact it was on fire and its skin looked like hot coals. Naruto narrowed his eyes at this before speeding towards the ground.

His landing caused the ground to crack in a spider web fashion and the sudden thud had caused the figure to jump before facing him. Naruto stood and looked at the being before addressing it.

"What are you doing on this planet Pyronite?" He interrogated his fellow alien while glaring. The Pyronite looked confused at the statement before responding.

"Pyro-what? What did you just call me Naruto?" It asked while scratching its flaming head.

Naruto's nostrils flared at this Pyronite calling him by his name. He suddenly appeared in front of the flaming alien and grabbed it by the neck while hovering off the ground, ignoring the flames that only felt like a hot summer day on his hand.

"How do you know my name?" He questioned once more while his free hand curled into a fist as he brought the Pyronite closer to his face. Naruto had a tight grip on its throat, only allowing the tiniest amount of oxygen to the lungs.

The alien being choked kicked his feets to fruitless efforts as he grabbed the arm and tried to pull free but either was for naught. He could feel himself slowly losing consciousness as he tried to form words.

"Stop… it's… Ben…" He said before suddenly being let go and falling to the ground and his knees as he coughed, trying to inhale as much oxygen as he could.

Naruto lowered himself to the ground as they were surrounded by a large ring of fire and kneeled before grabbing the Pyronite by the head and pulling it back to force him to look up.

"What about Benjamin? How do you know his name? Where is he?" Naruto questioned with narrowed eyes, "If you do not answer to my satisfaction I will kill you here and now."

The fiery alien had a scared look on his face before replying, "I'm Ben, I'm your friend Naruto."

The Viltrumite glared before slamming the Pyronites head into the ground, causing the dirt to fracture.

"Why do you lie to me? Benjamin is a human and you are not." He said while placing his foot on the flaming head and put weight on it as his shoe melted.

"I will ask one more time. Where. Is. Benjamin?" He said while grinding the Pyronites head into the ground.

The Pyronite groaned out in pain, "I swear! I'm Ben! I found this watch in a crater after I took a walk in the forest when I got into an argument with Gwen! We're friends! At least I want to be friends! You helped me whenever J.T. and Cash were picking on me!"

Naruto let off the pressure of his foot before putting his foot back on the ground, "You really are Benjamin, aren't you?" He asked rhetorically.

Ben got back on his knees while breathing heavily, "That's what I've been trying to tell you! What the heck man? Since when can you fly? And why are you so strong?" Ben questioned as he got to his feet.

Naruto had to look up slightly considering Ben's new height before he decided to just hover at his eye level.

"I've always been able to do such things, ever since I was four years old." Naruto stated before looking around, "You've caused quite a mess Benjamin. I suppose I will have to take care of it." He said with a sigh.

Ben looked confused before asking, "Uh what are you going to do? We're surrounded by fire!"

Naruto simply pushed Ben behind himself before pulling both his arms to his side in a T pose and brought his hands together to clap, causing wind from the shock wave to blow out all the fire in front of him.

"That is what I'm going to do Benjamin." He said before turning towards the direction of the rest of the fire and put that out as well. Soon they stood in a burnt part of the forest but at least it hadn't gotten worse.

"Woah," Ben said in complete shock. Suddenly they heard rustling and turned towards it only to see Gwen stepping out of some brush.

She only saw the on fire monster and screamed before she sprayed it with her extinguisher. Ben put his hands up in defense as his flames were put out. Gwen rushed up to bash him in the head but before she could the fire extinguisher was grabbed and lifted upwards as she was dragged as well. She stared at Naruto's unimpressed face before she looked down and saw he was floating.

"Wha? You can fly?" She muttered before she gained her senses again, "Wait! Why did you stop me?! It's a monster!" She yelled at Naruto who placed her back on the ground before responding.

"Because that monster, as you put it, is your cousin Benjamin, little Gwendolyn." He said with his arms crossed.

Gwen had a confused look on her face before she looked at Ben and back to Naruto when she shook her head, "That's not Ben, that's a monster." She stated in an unbudging tone.

Before Naruto could respond, the hour glass symbol on Ben's chest started to beep and flash red before a larger flash of red reverted Ben back to his regular self as he looked at his hands.

Ben sighed in relief at seeing his regular hands, "Oh man, that was stressful." He said before looking at Naruto who was still hovering, "Uh are you gonna explain that?" Ben asked Naruto with Gwen also looking at him for an explanation.

Naruto simply sighed before responding, "If you want answers then I will do so when your Grandfather is there to listen as well." They groaned in disappointment but nodded.

Suddenly Naruto grabbed them and flew upwards and back to their camp. When they arrived, Max was already there and waiting for them while pacing. He heard yelling from above and saw his grandchildren as well as Naruto who looked annoyed.

Max had a look of shock as he saw Naruto flying with Ben and Gwen in his arms. The fourteen year old soon landed and placed both children on the ground who began to jump around in excitement.

"That was awesome!" Ben exclaimed with a large smile, while Gwen nodded in agreement with an equally large smile.

Naruto sighed at their enthusiasm, "You wanted an explanation correct?" The two nodded to his question, "Then sit. You as well Mr. Tennyson, I will explain what you have just witnessed." The Tennysons did so as Naruto pulled up a lawn chair while Gwen and Ben sat on the ground and Max sat at the picnic table.

Naruto laced his fingers together and placed his chin on top.

"To start, I am not from this planet. I am an alien, I come from a planet far away called Viltrum, and I am a Viltrumite." He stated without any waver in his voice.

Max had a look of recognition and surprise on his face before he tried to hide it. Unfortunately for him, Naruto caught the look but said nothing of it for now.

"I am not just a regular Viltrumite. I am the son of our Grand Regent Thragg and the last surviving Viltrumite." Naruto said with an unnoticeable sadness before continuing.

"I should tell you the story of Viltrum before I say anything else. We were a violent species who could live for thousands of years. We valued the strong and to make sure we were the strongest we had a culling, killing all until only the ones with the most strength were left. Eventually we became so advanced it was astounding. Soon after we became a Utopia built on blood. We weren't satisfied with that and we invaded worlds and conquered them, becoming an Empire. After thousands of years of expanding our Empire we had many enemies. Soon one of our enemies created a weapon to kill us. The Scourge Virus wiped us all but a few out until just fifty of us were left. That number dwindled to just two. Me and my father." Naruto paused and held up two fingers before continuing, "Now it's just one." He said while putting one down and only having his index finger up.

"My father sent me to this planet to survive after he was killed by the virus. That's what I plan to do." Naruto stated firmly while omitting he was also meant to revive his species.

They sat in silence for a few minutes, processing that information. Once it was processed Gwen and Ben spoke at the same time in awestruck.

"Woah."

"So you're the prince of a dead race?" Gwen asked in curiosity.

Naruto nodded, "Yes. Any other questions? Make it quick, I require new footwear and a private conversation with your Grandfather." He said with a tone of seriousness.

The two quickly racked their brains before Ben came up with one, "Oh! How can you fly and why are you so strong?" He asked.

"Good question Benjamin. Viltrumites can create their own leverage, it's how we fly and can suddenly change direction even in space as if we were on the ground. As to why I am so strong? We have ultra dense tissue which is also why I didn't burn myself when I grabbed you. A typical Viltrumite can lift up to four hundred tons. I can lift much more than that because I was bred to be strong." Naruto stated as he leaned back.

"Whoa wait. Did you say you were bred?" Gwen asked with scrutiny.

Naruto nodded once more, "Yes. I was selectively bred. My mother was chosen as the strongest female so it was determined she would bear a child for my father." He said very casually.

"But… but that's so messed up! Shouldn't your mother have had a choice in the matter?" Gwen questioned with anger.

Naruto shook his head at that, "No. Only the strong have a say in the matter, the weak are meant to follow any order given. Besides, my Mother was happy with being chosen, she basically became our queen before she died." He said with firmness.

"Now if that is all, I will go retrieve new shoes. Benjamin, you should explain the device that is now on your wrist to your family. I shall return shortly for our conversation Mr. Tennyson." With that said, Naruto quickly took off to the nearest town for shoes. Luckily he had his wallet on him.

Gwen and Max looked to Ben for information on the slightly bulky watch he had on. When he caught their looks he smiled nervously and rubbed his head.

"So here's what happened."


Naruto had made it to a store and quickly bought new shoes before leaving. He was currently flying back and had an idle thought about this world.

'So strange that humans are required to work to live.' The concept was strange to him since Viltrumites had no use of money so that concept was odd to Naruto as well.

He soon arrived at the camp and saw Max waiting for him at the edge of the forest while the two cousins were behind the RV.

Naruto landed in front of Max who had a serious look on his face.

Max opened his mouth to speak but was cut off, "I saw your reaction to me being a Viltrumite. You know more than you let on." Naruto said without breaking eye contact with Max.

"I wasn't sure at first when I heard your name, but now I am. You're Maxwell Tennyson, the Legendary Plumber." Naruto stated with no doubt in his mind.

Max narrowed his eyes before responding, "Yeah, I am. So you're the last Viltrumite huh? I thought they were extinct. How did you survive the virus?" He questioned.

"I was never infected, I was sent off world before it reached me." Naruto responded lightly.

"And why were you sent to Earth of all places? I know you aren't here to just survive." Max tried to interrogate but Naruto simply laughed at him, causing Max's blood pressure to rise slightly.

Once he was done laughing Naruto replied, "You're right, I'm not here to just survive. I was also tasked to revive and rebuild our Empire. Especially now that the heir of Argall is lost."

Max clenched his fists, "So you can conquer worlds again? I'll stop you at any cost to make sure that never happens again." He stated angrily.

Naruto sighed at that, "Calm yourself Tennyson, while originally that was my goal it has now changed." He said.

The Plumber unclenched his fists in confusion but still kept his guard up, "What do you mean it's changed?" He questioned.

The Viltrumite sighed once more, "It's changed because I've changed. This planet has changed me!" He exclaimed while his arms out to his sides, "I've lived amongst these people, among your people and I've viewed their love, experienced it and that has changed my perspective. I still want to revive my species and our Empire but I no longer want to conquer. We were spread too thin and that's what ultimately killed us, not the virus. I don't know what we'll do but it'll be different." He stated resolutely.

Max was in shock, he had thought Viltrumites only cared about conquering but somehow Earth, his planet, had changed one.

"I-I've never heard of a Viltrumite doing such a thing, that's basically the same as one turning traitor, it's unheard of." Max said with a slight stutter.

Naruto scoffed as he crossed his arms at the traitor part of his statement, "We've had a traitor before but he was erased from our history. The Great Betrayer Thaedus, he was the one to kill Emperor Argall. He's dead now."

Before they could continue their conversation they heard a noise and saw a flash of green from behind the RV before they saw a large dog-like animal jump onto the vehicle before jumping into the forest.

Naruto and Max turned to each other before the former asked, "Did your grandson just transform into a Vulpimancer?" Max nodded at the question, "I think he did." The Plumber replied.

They looked to the direction Ben went before looking back at each other, "Wanna make a grub worm smoothie while we wait for Ben?" Max asked.

"What kind of question is that? Of course I want to make one. Let's go." Naruto said before walking off. Max smirked before jogging to catch up.

"Just so you know Maxwell, I will not attack you or your family if you give me the same courtesy. Is that acceptable to you?" The Viltrumite questioned while glancing at Max through the corner of his eye.

Max laughed boisterously while slapping Naruto's back, "Yeah that's fine. I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship." He stated with a grin.

Naruto simply huffed but did not try to argue. He opened the door to the RV and walked in with Max following. This planet really wasn't all that bad.


Man, I had fun making this. In case you're wondering, the Coalition of planets do not exist in this but the Scourge virus does. Don't worry about where it came from, it won't be important in the future.

As always if you enjoyed the chapter make sure to review or follow if you feel like it, it's free. And I'll see you all in the next one.
