Asura of Young Justice
Hello my readers, this is a new story that I've been working on and I'm trying to get back into my groove, to all my other readers who are reading my Pokemon fanfic know that I'm not abandoning, I'm just trying to get my muse to help me out.
Disclaimer: The following is a fanfic, BUY THE FUCKING SHOW!
Chapter 1 – Operation Maelstrom
"Flash to Watchtower, the magnetic field disruptor… has already gone chrysalis." Both Flash and Impulse could only stare in awe as the defence system and the MDF dropped like flies and the big ball of swirling energy.
"I'm not sure if the egg—"
"The egg is useless now. You're too late."
They sped away before the ball swirled into a huge storm of energy covering the sky and attracting the clouds and lightning towards it.
"What now?"
"Now you run."
"Hey, I'm no quitter! There's gotta be—"
"I didn't say run away. I said run." Flash's eyes widened.
"You and Impulse should be able to negate the chrysalis by running counter to its energy flow." Lex informed.
"Is it really that simple?"
"I wouldn't call it simple, you'll be attempting to siphon its power with your own speed trails, and it'll take a massive amount of kinetic energy."
"Do you think it will be enough?" Artemis asked.
The room echoed, "Recognised Kid Flash, B03."
In the Arctic
Flash and Impulse watched in trepidation as the force continued to get bigger as they were instructed to no matter what slow down until the chrysalis was completely neutralised.
The Allens continued to keep going faster knowing what was at stake here.
"I think this might be working," Impulse shouted.
"It's definitely slowing," the Flash replied, he continued to analyse the situation. "But not stopping. Even at our top speed I'm not certain the two of us can generate enough kinetic energy-"
"Then how about the three of us!" A new voice appeared beside them.
The two turned their heads to see Kid Flash running besides them, "I may not be as fast as you two, but I can add my fair share of kinetic energy. The scarlet haired speedster chuckled, "Besides I can't let the new kid take all the credit saving the world."
"Good man!" the Flash said.
"So crash!" Impulse shouted with a wide grin before he and his grandfather ran faster than Kid Flash.
"Come on, Wall-Man," Wally murmured to himself to make himself go faster. "Why can't I go faster, I need to go faster?"
The Bio Ship landed away from the swirling vortex, Artemis and Dick were the first to come down the ramp.
"Look," Dick pointed to the chrysalis. "It's working. They're shutting it down."
Blue Beetle gazed at the scene, knowing that they were going to succeed and foil the Reach's plan. Scarab reinforced that belief, "Earth's magnetic field is stabilizing."
"Yes!" Blue Beetle cheered in triumph that however was short-lived with what the scarab said next. "But there is a problem, Jaime Reyes. The Kid Flash is in danger. His slower speed is making an exit valve for the chrysalis energy."
"AAGHH!" Wally cried out in pain as the chrysalis energy continued to strike him again and again.
"In 16 seconds, he will cease."
"Cease?" Blue Beetle panicked. "Cease what?"
"AGHH!" Wally cried out again but this time he could feel it. The energy that was coursing through his body and charging every cell. He looked over to his side and saw Artemis an expression of worry all over her.
"Faster." He was reaching speeds that his body couldn't reach before now he was going supersonic.
"Bart, we have to slow down more—" He only heard a loud bang before he saw the Wally was now going hypersonic and reaching his speed.
"Kid!" Barry yelled.
"Have to save everyone, have to go faster."
Wally was going faster, approaching his uncle's top speed but he wasn't slowing down. He was running alongside his Flash and Impulse but his body couldn't stop moving, it was covered in a lightning-like aura. His eyes lit up with the same light before finally he broke through the light barrier. And in the moment, he was gone.
The chrysalis died down and the smoke gathered into the air from the speedsters running began to clear up.
"They did it!" Megan shouted with glee as she saw the two speedsters catching their breath.
"Congratulations," Kaldur kneeled besides Flash. "You have saved us."
While Megan flew to Impulse, "It's over!" She smiled at the young hero, who was still out of breath but now tears were streaming down his face.
"Wait!" Artemis yelled, fear crept into her heart. "Where's Wally?"
"Artemis," Barry began, feeling regret and sorrow for telling her this. "He didn't make—"
"No!" Artemis couldn't believe it. She was interrupted however as a group of people appeared on the scene. She turned to one in particular in anger and sorrow.
"You!"
US Bank Tower, Los Angeles
August 5, 11:00 EDT, 2008
A portal opened up before a tall man stepped out, two katana slung over one shoulder. He stood a little over six feet tall, and had a lean physique that was well muscled as well. He had tan skin and blonde hair. His hair was a spiky mess most of it was unseen by his hood and half of his face hidden by his red scarf. His hood was outlined in fox fur and on his shoulders were armoured plates that looked Japanese in style. His eyes were cerulean blue that much could be seen. He was wearing black robes outlined in orange with dark grey pants and black combat boots with shin guards. On his arms were two metal bracers that had elegant oriental designs on them. Resting on his midsection was a red sash and all his pouches. He held a phone near his ear.
"This universe is one of the main branching points from New Earth." A feminine voice said from the phone.
"Yeah, I won't screw it up," The man said.
"Remember the Man of Steel universe." She said exasperated.
"Hey I got the job done, Superman didn't have to cause billions in property damage and Metropolis didn't get turned into rubble through their dubstep machine." The man argued.
"Just… don't screw it up, Naruto." The voice sighed.
"Insure the branch turns good, make sure the superheroes of the next generation secure world peace and try not to cause billions in collateral damage. Yeah yeah, I've heard this speech before Lucy."
"And yet, you do the opposite of what I say."
"Love you too bye." He ended the call hopping off the roof.
"Are you ready Kurama?"
"Let's show the world what we can do!" Kurama spoke, his deep voice resounding through Naruto's mind.
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
"Seriously not even five minutes and we already have trouble."
He peered over the building to see a woman being harassed by five burly men who had looks of hunger and lust on their faces. The woman had red hair and blue eyes, guessing she appeared to be 5 feet 6 inches and a scared looked on her face but she remained steadfast. He could see why they would go after her, she did have a stunning figure that was made even more alluring with her tight outfit but they were bad men with ill intentions and he had to rectify that. He dropped down from the building and landed on one of the thug's and knocked him out.
"Who the hell are you freak?" One of the ugly thugs said.
"Me, I'm your friendly neighbourhood assassin." Naruto said before he poked the man in the eyes.
"Oh god why?!" The man said furiously rubbing his eyes.
All of them now saw the new guy as a threat and decided to dogpile him who decided to use the distracted guy as his bowling ball knocking them down. He turned to the woman who was now holding a can of mace in her hands but her fear prevented her from using it. He ducked under a wild swing from one of the thugs, caught his fist and elbowed him hard in the stomach. He gasped in pain, sinking to the ground before he saw a boot enter his line of sight.
Two of the remaining thugs brought out a lead pipe and a baseball bat getting closer. Naruto stood there ushering them with a come hither motion. The guy with the baseball bat charged in with the intent to smash Naruto's head in. He weaved through the motions with his back to the man with the lead pipe who already swung it at Naruto's back. The woman was going to shout a warning before he ducked down and the lead pipe hit the other guy on the jaw knocking him out. He tripped him using a leg sweep before taking him to Morpheus.
"Hey freak, get down on the ground before the bitch gets it," The thug that he poked in the eye earlier was holding the woman, whose look of terror was present on her face, with a butterfly knife and man try to angrily stare at him which was ruined with his reddening eyes..
"What's that behind you?" Naruto said but the thug wouldn't fall for this trick. If only he knew.
Another hooded figure grabbed the arm that was holding the knife before he stabbed with a blade that popped from underneath his wrist.
The thug could only cry out in shock only mercifully being knocked unconscious before he pulled the blade out.
The woman turned to where the other man was only to find him pop in a burst of smoke.
"Sorry you had to see that miss. Are you alright?" He asked, picking up her purse.
"Yeah, I'm fine and thank you, I just didn't expect something like this to happen while I was on vacation. My name is Vicki Vale." She said gratefully taking her purse back.
"No worries ma'am, I'm new in town and I really don't like to see someone get hurt or worse." Naruto said.
"By the way, who are you?" Vicki asked.
"Who me? I'm just someone passing through but you can call me…Asura." He said before stepping into the shadows.
"Another caped crusader disappearing into the night." She sighed, one of the guys groaned before she kicked him in the balls.
Naruto reappeared on a different rooftop before he gathered his chakra.
"Tajuu Kage Bushin no Jutsu." He whispered before thousands of his clones appeared on different rooftops.
"You know what to do." They all nodded before disappearing into the night.
"Time to get some sleep, Naruto."
"Shouldn't I get some, I don't know housing before I decide to fall asleep in the middle of street."
"Details, you can always find an empty penthouse."
"That's a good idea, let's figure this out in the morning."
One year later…
In that year, he had set up his I.D., a bank account that had cash in it and a spy network set up around the world. He liked to work fast. He had also began to establish himself as a hero while recruiting some people to his brotherhood. He had learnt some interesting things about the heroes and villains here. About a secret organisation called 'The Light' and the superhero organisation that included the greatest heroes of this world including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and many more called 'The Justice League'.
He had some fun here and there while travelling the world and a lot more fun with the heroines and villainesses that he met. He met some truly great people face to face like Superman and the Flash and some of the most corrupt and evil bastards since Madara. One such a man was the Joker. Nothing drove him to cause chaos only that he wanted to and that made him a dangerous man. He was insane plain and simple and it was a wonder why he wasn't dead.
Right now he was perched over a highway listening to 'Back in Black' by AC/DC as three black SUVs that were tailgating each other were coming up from below. Finishing the beer he was drinking he stood on top of the rail, arms spread eagle before jumping off feet first.
'YES I'M BACK IN BLACK!'
He crashed through the glass roof of the SUV landing in the middle startling all the muscled guns on board.
"Hi honey, I'm home." He elbowed the man in the face to his side before kicking the man in the front seat into unconsciousness. The man beside him tried to throw a punch but he held the fist in hand and repeatedly punch the man in the face with his own fist.
"Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself." The man was seeing stars before a final punch knocked him out.
"Hey buddy, you might wanna brace yourself?"
Naruto turned the handbrakes launching the car in the air from the sudden stop. Just as it turned in the air, Naruto stepped out from the broken roof before pulling out two CZ 75 SP-01 and blowing out the tires of the second SUV which crashed into against the highway. Analysing the last SUV that was about to run him over he fired two shots from the pistols that blew the front tires. Just as the vehicle skidded in front of him, the doors opened as armed bodyguards stepped out decked in full gear cocking the rifles in hand.
"Now before you shoot me, does anyone know what the forecast is?" They all looked in confusion before several puffs of smoke appeared from below as clones of Naruto finished them with a straight uppercut that sent them flying.
"Cause it's raining men." All the cannon fodder landed with various groans of pain. He looked at the open door to see a tied-up man in an expensive suit with a sticky tape on her mouth. Ripping it off, he gave him a glare before saying, "You're late."
"That'll be 100k for the rescue op."
Ah the daily life of a globe-trotting mercenary.
"Asura." Turning around, he was face to face with the dark knight. The man had a neutral expression on his face.
"Batman." What Naruto thought of the man was that he both respected the guy and wanted to sock him in the face, respect for his skills and resources in doing what he has done and he really wanted to punch the guy because the last time he had spoken to him he disappeared before he even finished talking. What an ass.
"I, and the rest of the league, have recognised your skills and morals and would like to extend an invitation to join our ranks as an official member." Holy shit! He was going to join the Justice League, this was going to be so much fun, Lucy would be so proud!
"Hey, enough with the fanboying and join."
"I accept your offer." 'Asura' said to Batman whose facial expression didn't change.
"Then if you can be at the Hall of Justice by 12 p.m. we can induct you into the League."
"Will do." 'Asura' disappeared in a puff of smoke.
When the ceremony for him to become a member of the Justice League, it got a lot of media attention. A lot. They asked all sorts of questions before he decided to just do what Jim Carrey would do. He hugged each and every one of them for an exceedingly long amount of time that made everyone uncomfortable and they sort of slunk away after that. Two reporters managed to stay back. Vicki Vale and Lois Lane. He had to give them props, they both wanted to solve the mystery that was Asura.
All the leaguers were curious to what he could do and people like Batman and Zatanna were more cautious since they didn't know anything about the man all they knew that he was tall, blonde and powerful. The first time Batman tried to probe him with questions, Naruto had caught on but decided to play a great prank and led Batman on for months, seemingly establishing patterns before wildly breaking them much to the irritation of the dark knight.
Flash had been fast friends when they first met and they both shared lots of jokes and stories with each other. He decided to take the straight forward method and flat-out asked his name and the footage that Batman was watching was making him groan inwardly.
"Huh why didn't you say so? Well you can that Asura really is my first name but I'd have to say that on my birth certificate it says Naruto Uzumaki."
"Naruto Uzu what-now?" Flash asked over his Chinese take-away.
"It means Maelstrom Whirlpool." Naruto said finishing
"Oh but wait doesn't that mean the same thing twice?"
"Just eat your food, Barry."
The monitor in front of them beeped suddenly as energy levels were spiking in the artic.
"I'll go check it out, and I swear Barry if you eat the last of the fried shrimps I'm gonna kick your ass in our next training session." Flash paled considerably remembering the last time he fought in a 'friendly spar' with Asura.
Arriving in a yellow flash with one of his Hiraishin kunai embedded deeply in the snow with a good amount of frost covering it. He landed on the spot seeing a fissure-like crack in the air and what came out surprised the hell out of him. A yellow and red costumed figure emerged from the portal looking 14 years. What surprised him the most was that this person was Kid Flash. Kid Flash looked up for at him before whispering, "A-asura…" and promptly collapsed.
