AN: Thanks for reading here's some more

"So we're a team?" Robin asked.

After subduing their attackers Robin, Kid Flash, Miss Martian, and Artemis stood around each other as they filled the Boy Wonder on the very few gaps on what they were all doing in Bialya together.

M'gann nodded as she continued to explain. "Yes the four of us and Superboy." She said using his hands to insinuate the four being all of them and not Naruto who got curious and was examining one of the rifles the Bialyan soldier's used that wasn't damaged in the fight.

"Then this must be his." Robin handed M'gann a torn black cloth with Superman's shield in red embroidered onto it.

"Yes, did you see him?" M'gann asked as she took the cloth from Robin's hands.

"I think we did." Artemis answered. "He must have been that half naked guy with the muscles Naruto threw across the desert."

"You threw Superboy across the desert, again?!" M'gann screeched as all eyes turned towards the alien with a cocked rifle in his hands.

"Hey I was just trying to protect Arty and Wally!" Naruto defended himself as he looked through the end of the rifle's scope. "Besides he attacked us first."

"But he didn't know who we are." Artemis said as she started walking over towards Naruto. "I don't know who we are." she placed her hand on top of the rifle and swiftly pointed the weapon to the ground. "And you should be messing with that thing it's not a toy!"

"Yeah I figured that out already!" Naruto snapped back. "I've been around weapons before. It's just we don't have anything like these g-un things back on my world."

"Then your people should consider themselves lucky." Robin spoke in a tone a bit heaver then his regular chipper voice. A tone Naruto picked up on.

"Just because we don't have tools like these doesn't mean people don't still hurt each other on my planet." Naruto said as he looked back at the rifle.

Robin walked over towards Naruto and Artemis taking the rifle out of the ninja's hands. "Still there's no point in learning how to use this. It's loud and it's clumsy, this is the weapon of cowards."

Holding the assault rifle with one hand Robin used his other to shimmy three batarang disks in between his fingers as he held them up. "Stick with these weapons they're precise, quiet and surgical."

Holstering the batarangs back into his utility belt Robin stood still as he still had the rifle held up in front of him keeping a stern face on until it cracked and he smiled nervously. "Ok this is the part where I'm supposed to snap the gun in half like Batman did five years ago when he gave me this speech but I'm not strong enough to do something like that…yet."

With a flick of his own wrist Naruto pulled out his new trusty spoon and gave the rifle a quick horizontal swipe. Less than a second latter the bottom half of the rifle sliced in half and fell to the ground as Robin was left holding the top half.

"See, what do you even need a gun for when you can just use that spoon to cut them in half and deflect bullets with? "Robin half way shouted still not getting over the fact that Naruto was deadly with silverware.

"Seriously dude you have the whole everything is a weapon factor going for you." Kid Flash chirped in "Besides someone with your abilities using any kind of fire arm is like a shark having a laser cannon grafted onto its head, it's just overkill."

"Uh, teammates?" All eyes turned back over to M'gann who had been mostly silent as she tried to get everyone's attention. "We should really be focusing on trying to figure out why we're out here in Bialya in the first place."

Throwing the rest of the broken gun on the ground Robin said. "Well I do remember Batman ordering radio silence; our team must work for him. He must have been the one who sent us over here."

"Really?" Kid Flash asked as he pointed towards the insignia on his chest. "How do you know we don't work for my mentor?" Absentmindedly Kid's finger brushed against his lightning bolt crest causing his suit to sift in colors. He now sported a bright yellow and red costume the one he was more famously known for.

"Wow" Wally pressed his logo again causing his costume to shift back in its darker stealth shade. "This is so cool!"

"Can all of your uniforms do that?" Naruto asked as he too without thinking it through turned around and poked Artemis' arrow logo on the top of her chest.

The archer stood stunned as Naruto in his curiosity didn't pick up on his own inappropriate behavior as he continued to poke Artemis even after her costume did change colors.

Robin who out of curiosity poked his own logo stopped as he was just as shocked as Kid Flash and M'gann by Naruto's boldness.

As for Artemis the young heroine's own shock was quickly replaced by mild annoyance as she just placed a hand on her hip and rolled her eyes as her body rocked lightly from each poke. Her patience and tolerance towards Naruto's inconsiderate behavior was mostly due to the fact that Naruto was actually just touching her closer to the collar bone rather than molesting her chest.

After about six more pokes Artemis found the humor in Naruto's actions dried up. So she lightly used her own hand to slap Naruto's away. "You know you could have bought me dinner first before you tried to get to second base, Naruto."

The shinobi in question looked back at Artemis then to his finger then back to Artemis again before it clicked in his head at what he had been doing to the emerald archer. "S….sorry about that Arty." He apologized as he quickly pulled his finger back.

"It's ok." Artemis shrugged off turning slightly away from Naruto as she folded her arms. "Just know I'm going to get you back for those pokes when you lest except it." She smiled slyly as she could feel Naruto's nervous reaction from the veiled threat.

Naruto held his finger with his other hand and tried to shift his body away from Artemis as if he had just touched fire. The ninja's eyes shifted over towards the person closer towards him which happened to be Kid Flash, Naruto's head turned towards the speedster's logo which the red head caught onto.

Wally placed his hand over his chest as if to hide his chastity as he said. "Don't even think about it Mr. Grabby."

Artemis sighed. "Ok this is getting a little ridiculous." She looked down at her uniform. "And we all look ridiculous, we need to get our memories back now!"

With no eyes at her M'gann nervously shifted around as she tensely rubbed her hands together as she looked unsure of herself. Taking a deep breath she thought the words "To help Superboy." As she placed her hands over her forehead and closed her eyes only to reopen them but this time the ocular orbs were glowing in a brilliant white light.

"I don't think you guys look ridiculous your uniforms make you all look pretty cool." Naruto slowly looked around when he didn't hear back a response only to see that the members of the Team were all frozen in place unmoving with so little as a wink.

The slightly panicking Naruto quickly scanned the area trying to find out if an enemy's attack was the cause of his new acquaintances paralyzes only to easy slightly when his eyes locked onto Miss Martian's glowing ones.

In the back of his mind Naruto remembered before the green skinned girl introduced herself when those drone things were attacking Artemis, Kid Flash and himself. "Did you two just hear a girl talking in your heads?"

So was that it M'gann was a like a member of the Yamanaka Clan and had some sort of natural version of the Mind Body Transmission Technique? Well it would explain why the others weren't moving the green girl must either be in their own private mindscapes trying to heal their brains in order for them to get their lost memories back or M'gann must have pulled Artemis, Wally, and Robin into her own mind scape and is trying to fix them all at the same time.

Either way Naruto decided to wait patiently intending on keeping his promise to stay with the heroes so they could assist him on tracking down Zetsu as soon as their minds were restored. The ninja's eyes drifted over toward the surplus of weapons Robin had disarmed from the Bialyan soldiers when he Naruto and Kid tied them up from before.

Walking over to the pile Naruto squatted down and started to examine the weapons deciding it was a better use of his time to get some idea on how the people of this world fought…or at least the ones without special abilities or techniques.

Forgoing the assault rifles having already being told that they were basically nosy and useless for his style of fighting Naruto pawed through the others. The first being the strange pineapple shaped explosive.

The shinobi found the bomb to be rather useless seeing how it was no better then an explosive note. No that wasn't right an explosive note was better usually only the user could ignite them while being at a considerable distance plus in order for the metal pineapple to work Naruto saw that you had to pull out the cling metal key on the top and quickly toss it at the intending target.

Tossing the explosive without a care in the world over his shoulder Naruto scanned the other items. The next one being an assault knife, bah it was pretty stupid looking just by feeling the weight in his hand the orange ninja could tell it wasn't meant for throwing and at close quarters combat Naruto could just use any other metal object like a knife thanks to a little wind flavored chakra.

This time Naruto didn't even put in the effort of toss the weapon over his head and just flicked it to the side not even seeing were it went. The rest of the cache wasn't any different more grenades, knifes and different varieties of rifles that is until something interesting caught his eye.

It was tool shaped just like one of the rifles except a lot smaller. Picking the weapon up by its wooden coated brown handle Naruto guessed the firing cannon was a more hand held version seeing as he only need one hand to hold it. Naruto examined it closer noticing that its barrel was a lot shorter then the rifles even after accounting for its proportionate size.

The main body of the weapon seemed to hold some sort of cylinder shaped body that popped out when Naruto pressed on a small lever located on the side of the weapon. As the cylinder opened out he saw that it contained six small vacant chambers.

Looking around the pile Naruto spotted a glittering golden colored object that kind of looked like a lipstick container only smaller. Picking the piece of metal up he felt the cool copper against his fingers and ran the small projectile under his nose. He quickly pulled it away when he detected the faint smell of black powder resonating within the ammunition.

Turning just his head over his shoulder he saw that M'gann still had the others under her influence telling Naruto he still had a few more minutes to quince his curiosity without receiving another lecture on guns.

Placing the single bullet into a chamber Naruto closed the cylinder \ into the gun's main body and got back up.

Looking at his surroundings he could see a large rock only a few yards away from him just goading the ninja into test the weapon on itself.

Placing the gun in one hand while he aimed it forward Naruto squinted as he ran a finger on the gun's trigger. Holding his breath and counting down in his head he braced himself and squeezed. "Ok three, two,…oneee!"

Click

…Nothinghappened. Looking back at the gun and giving it a few shakes Naruto tried again, he aimed and readying himself again counting down. "Three, two, ooone!"

Click

"What the hell!" Naruto still found he couldn't get the weapon to work at all. "Stupid piece of crap!" he screamed while waving the weapon around in his hand.

During his impatiens of flaring the dangerous weapon over his head Naruto moved his thumb around the back of the weapon placing the opposable appendage on top of the gun's finger grip when suddenly he herd the piece of metal click.

Stopping his temper tantrum and looking at the top grip he realized that it wasn't any sort of grip or harness at all but some sort of loading mechanism. He pulled it again slowly as he saw the cylinder move and arranged it's self-alongside the barrel. "Huh? Maybe the stupid thing will work now?"

Aiming the weapon one final time Naruto held his breath locked onto the slightly large rock and counted down. "Three, two, ah two and a half, one!"

Pop

The sound of the weapon firing rang in Naruto's ear the same way a fire cracker did as his hand was pushed back slightly. Smoke exited out of the gun's barrel as a small piece of metal fell out of it and a small projectile lodged it's self into the body of the boulder.

Naruto tried to hold up best as he could but couldn't help but display a frown at how disappointing his little test turned out. With the gun empty of its sole round Naruto throw the small hand gun back into the pile and started to walk towards his test target.

Getting close to the rock the ninja pulled out his new spoon and used it to dig out the slug murmuring under his breath. "I could have spat that stupid pointy thing from my mouth and it would have made a better shot."

But just as he yanked the small piece of brass out of the stone a signal went off in his head alerting him that someone was approaching his still petrified friends, someone with chakra.

Flicking the bullet out of his hand like a coin Naruto quickie hustled back towards his new alien companies seeing that his literal shot in the dark hadn't interrupted M'gann's mind meld session the shinobi stood out in front of the Martian with his spoon flipping through his fingers ready to defend from whatever threat might be…coming…wait a minute.

Besides Zetsu Naruto was supposed to be the only thing with chakra on this planet so that could mean that the person approaching was.

"Hey me!"

Naruto sighed in relief when he saw it was a shadow clone that had been the one he sensed as the double ganger walked besides a truth seeker ball shaped like a disk that floated right alongside him.

The spoon wielding Naruto noticed two things a miss with the shadow clone. One he had a passenger riding on tip of the truth seeker disk and two the clone had some sort of golden medallion hanging around his neck.

"Who's he?" The Naruto with the spoon asked as he pointed at the sleeping dark skinned young man who rested on the disk.

"A new friend…who are they?" the medallion Naruto asked as he pointed at Robin, M'gann, Artemis, and Kid Flash where standing still zooming out as they had their brains put back together.

"They're my new friends too. So which one are you?" the spoon Naruto asked. "The one who headed East or the one who stayed in the temple.

The medallion Naruto walked over towards M'gann and the other as he closely inspected them like they were all piece of some sort of modern art. "Oh I'm the one who stuck around in the cave and you'll never guess what happened in there."

The spoon Naruto had his own curiosity as he bent down and did a once over at the sleeping young man on the disk. "Did you find Zetsu?"

The medallion Naruto was just getting up close to M'gaan's face with the temptation to pock the young woman on the nose when he pulled back and said. "Ah…no you didn't manage to find him did you?"

"No I didn't" The Spoon Naruto got up and continued. "I ran into these guys and tried to help them regain their memories. The green girl M'gann promised that she and the others would help us look for Zetsu apparently their like some sort of group who go after and capture the criminals and monster on this world in order to bring them to justice."

"So why aren't they moving?" Medallion Naruto asked continued to look the aliens much closer.

"They had their memories wiped so the green girl is trying to fix them she's a mind walker….oh and don't stick a wet finger in their ears."

Medallion Naruto gave his double a say whaaat look. "Why would I do that it sounds gross."

"I don't know." Spoon Naruto shrugged. "Apparently they do that here to their enemies or something."

"Ok but wait a second you said before that these guys hunt down bad people or something. What are they, super heroes?" he asked having the original Naruto's memories of reading mangas about super powered characters saving the world while wearing colorful costumes.

The Spoon Naruto stared blankly for about five seconds before the rusted gears in his head started to turn. "Holy shit they are superheroes!" he yelled having finally realizing why his new friends were dressed with masks that fully consoled their identities.

"Wow you're so stupid you didn't even realize these guys are superhero?" Medallion Naruto shook his head in disbelief. "That's so pathetic some of them are wearing capes!"

"I'm not stupid!" spoon Naruto screamed as he pointed down at medallion Naruto's resting friend. "I just thought they were high society types who wear cool fancy clothes. What about you did you realize that this guy was a super hero when you met him?"

"He's not a super hero." Medallion Naruto snorted out in arrogance. "He's a solider form a country on this planet that's underwater."

"Oh" Spoon Naruto tiled his head and sheepishly rubbed his neck "So what's his name?

Medallion Naruto stepped away from the group and walked at the opposite side of his double between the dark skin light haired hero. "Well his name is Kaldur but he also goes by…"

"AQUALAD!" M'gann, Artemis, Kid Flash and Robin all shouted out in unison together as they all were brought out of their hive mind state.

"Y…..yeah, he also goes by that." Medallion Naruto said nonchalantly towards his double.

"Were he?" Robin exclaimed only for his eyes to gander over towards the two Naruto's and his lost teammate. "Oh….he's right there." Robin's voice dipped down as he stated the obvious.

Hurrying along M'gann, Artemis, and Robin gathered around Aqualad while Kid Flash hung back and pulled something from his behind. With a little bit of struggle he pulled out the knife Spoon Naruto absentmindedly threw from before. "W…..Why is there a knife in my ass!" he asked a he angrily shook the weapon in his hand."

Spoon Naruto tried his best not to look guilty while saying. "You must have sat on it when you were getting your memories back!" he said as his eye shifted back and forth. "Cause you were a moving around when you guys were in that trance."

Kid Flash rubbed his stinging bottom looking more confused than before. "Ok then why are there any foot prints of me moving…"

"Stop being a baby and get over here!" Artemis demand interrupting Kid's investigation. "You're supposed to heal fast and that only looks like the tip punctured anything."

Tossing the knife to the side Kid Flash sort of crabbed walked over towards the others while mumbling. "Yeah you say it's no big deal but I bet if someone was trying to stick their tip up your….."

"What was that?"

"I didn't say anything!" Kid shouted while he reached the others with his hand trying to trinket the low level flesh wound.

"Wow so you really can make duplicates of yourself." M'gann astonishingly stated as she gave the medallion Naruto a once over trying to see if this Naruto was the one she met before.

"See, now that's what I'm talking about." Medallion Naruto said as he stared back at Miss Martian. "You look like a real alien."

"T…thank you." M'gann replied not really knowing if she was being complemented while she sighed at the fact that this was indeed not the Naruto she had met earlier.

Kid Flash on the other hand stared at the two Naruto back and forth more out of curiosity then pure amazement. "Ok giant glowing arms made of light, super speed, giving people tattoos that paralyze them, and to top it all off the ability to replicate yourself." Pausing the young speedster rubbed the top of his head with his butt cheek hand as if his brain overloaded. "When we get out of this I'm going to want a full list of your abilities dude. Seriously I'm starting to think you won the superpower lottery better than the Big Guy." He said as he rubbed a little blood on the top of his head.

Medallion Naruto didn't really give Wally much of a response as he merely shrugged and went back to admiring M'gann appearance but spoon Naruto replied back by sighing. "How many times do I have to tell you I don't have powers those are just techniques."

"Being able to make copies of yourself is a technique?" Artemis asked with a hint of skepticism. Letting out a small laugh she swayed her hip to the side and placed her hand on said hip as she added. "In that case maybe you can show me how it's done. I'd be able to get my choirs done a lot faster if there were two or three more of me."

"Great "Wally scoffed letting the word great get dragged out more than normally. "A whole squad of Artemis', like one of you isn't bad enough."

The young archer picked up on the sarcasm and scolded back at the speedster. "What was that, Rudolph?"

Kid Flash's face dropped as he gasped and snapped his head over towards M'gann. "Meg-cakes you said we'd only exchange important memories with each other I don't see how my middle name is exactly viable for the team right now."

The Martian native sweetly placed her hands up in a way of an apology right before she squatted over towards Aqualad along with medallion Naruto and Robin.

"You guys got your memories back, that's great!" Spoon Naruto said as he perked up at the good fortune bestowed upon his new friends. "Wait is that why the two of started getting mean with one another?" the ninja asked as he wagged his finger between Artemis and Wally. "You guys seemed a lot nicer to each other when you didn't know who the other one was."

The two heroes glared at one another until Artemis broke the staring contest and walked over towards Naruto. She showed that her perspective on the alien ninja didn't change with her resent mind restoration as she slide a hand over on the other blonde's shoulder.

"Well between you and me I forgot how annoying a certain speedster was before." Artemis said rather loudly so Wally could hear her.

"Yeah well I forgot how much of a hindrance a certain archer is!"

"Would you two knock it off!" Robin hissed as he looked up towards his bickering teammates. "Kalduer's really hurt we don't have time for this right now!"

Artemis and Kid Flash glared at one another before softening their expressions in worry for Aqualad so they silently agreed to stop as they along with Spoon Naruto hunkered down and watched over the fallen Altaian.

With more people clouding around him Kaldur weakly scrunched his face as he kept his eyes closed and whispered out something in his native tongue.

"Oh sure thing buddy." Medallion Naruto said back as he held out his hand and created another Water Rasengan that he destabilized and let splash on top of Aqualad's face.

"What's wrong with him?" Artemis asked as she leaned more forward and used her hand to feel Kaldur's forehead to engage his temperature.

"Well we've been in the desert close to twenty four hours…" Kid Flash said as he broke his own observing only to catch Artemis' gaze which in turn caused the speedster to frown and childishly inch away from the archer . "…that's not exactly good for a guy with gills."

"He has gills?" the medallion Naruto asked as he was bent down right over the Altaian so it was easy for him to gently grabbed the sides of Aquald's head and rotate it to the right seeing the respiratory organ. "Wow he's kind of like that shark guy from Akatsuki ahhhh what was his name again?"

"Kisame something." Spoon Naruto said as shifted over next to his double as he got a closer look at Aqualad's gills "Yeah your right it's just like Kisame's I wonder if he has sharp teeth too?"

Before anyone could say no medallion Naruto grasped the bottom of Kalduer's chin in order to pry the Atlantean's mouth open only for the dreary fish boy to weakly try and swat Naruto's hand away.

"λεξικό δεν βρήκε καμία λέξη" the dried out Aqualad mumbled.

Medallion Naruto scratched the back of his head and bowed a little. "S…sorry Kalduer."

Artemis' brows raised as she did a double take between the Naruto and Aqualad before a second latter something clicked. "Wait a second you can understand him?"

"Yeah." Medallion Naruto shrugged. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because Aqualad is so weary he's automatically speaking in his native tongue." Robin reasoned just as bewildered as Artemis.

"Yeah dude how do you know Atlantean?" Kid Flash asked.

"What are you talking about Atlantean?" Spoon Naruto asked. "That Aqua guy didn't speak in another language he talked in the only language on this…wait do the people of your planet speak more than one language?"

"Yeah" Kid Flash answered for the team. "There's probably over two thousand different languages spoken on this world by at least a six billion people on this planet we all don't talk the same."

Spoon Naruto's eyes went wide with that revelation while medallion Naruto just looked apathetic and watched on from observing Aqualad and the interaction the other Naruto was having.

Artemis tapped her index finger alongside her chin as she thumped the digit for a couple of beats before an idea popped in her head. "Naruto"

The spoon Naruto looked back at the archer showing that she had his attention.

"I'm going to ask you some questions. I have a theory that if you can answer them correctly then I might have an idea on why you aren't lost in translation right now."

"Ah…ok" Naruto looked a bit confused but decided to indulge the girl.

"De quelle couleur sont mes yeux?"

Naruto titled his head to the side in query. "Why do you want to tell you that?"

Artemis shrugged "Juste l'humour moi"

"Oh" Leaning in closer into the archer Artemis momentarily turned her eyes away from ninja not expecting him to get this close. "Well I guess they kind of remind me of fresh honey, like after you fight off an army of bees taking on all their stingers and fighting through their barrage just to see that trickling gold coming out of the comb. So honey colored I guess."

Artmies's cheeks blazed slightly as she hadn't expecting such a detailed answer to her test. Coughing lightly she rose up her hands and made a piece sign. "B…. bao nhiêu ngón tay đang nắm giữ lên i?"

Naruto's eyes narrowed a bit as he said. "Two."

Nodding Armies asked her final question. "Era es la biblioteca?"

Naruto looked around before angrily replying "How should I know, we're in a desert who puts a library in the middle of the desert." Naruto say the surprised look on Artemis' face as she looked over to Kid Flash and M'gann whom themselves look just as surprised.

"Atlantean, French, Vietnamese, and Spanish. Add English on top and that's five Earth languages that you're able to understand." Robin stated as he himself was fluent in French was able to speak a little Spanish and knew Vietnamese when he heard it.

"What are you talking about what five languages?" Naruto asked angrily. "She was talking to me regularly…wasn't she?" he asked unsure of himself.

Placing a hand on his shoulder Artemis tried to keep the ninja from panicking. "Hey maybe it's some sort of telekinesis. M'gann can understand languages by linking minds with people maybe whatever it is was that wiped our heads might have done the reverse on you and…let..you..understand…us?" her voice trailed off showing that she herself didn't believe in her theory.

"What the hell is going on?" Naruto ran his hands over the top of his head as he tried to wrap his head around his appeared new ability until he found the answers from within himself, literally.

"It's because of the necklace." Medallion Naruto said getting all eyes on him as he held up said necklace. "It's a magical pendent that makes whatever you say and whatever you hear translate in a language you can understand."

"…You know you could have said something before." Spoon Naruto said after he sighed in relief. "You almost made me thing someone did something to our brain."

"Where did you get a magical translating necklace?" Robin asked while Kid Flash rolled his eyes at the words magic.

"Some guy gave it to me." Medallion Naruto shrugged. "I was the one exploring the bug temple when some guy comes out of nowhere and told me that this necklace would let me understand people."

"What did this guy look like?" Artemis asked. "Did he give you a name?"

Medallion Naruto shook his head no and answered. "He didn't tell me who he was he just throws me the necklace, and when I caught it he was gone." The shadow clone then began to close his eyes and title his head to the side. "He was kind of weird too."

"Weird how?" Robin asked.

"Well he had yellow hair like me and….ah what's your name?" Medallion Naruto asked not really getting introduced to the heroes.

"I'm Artemis."

"Right, right so anyway he had yellow hair like me and Art Miss."

Wally let out a snort that he tried to cover up but was caught by an angry Artemis giving him the evil eye as he found Medallion Naruto's mispronunciation humorous.

"And he was wearing a suit like a really nice fancy suit. Which is the weird part because who wears a suit in the desert?"

"Really that's the weird part?" Wally asked as he tried to clear his throat. "Not the whole one minute this mysterious stranger was there and the next minute he wasn't'?"

"Why would that be weird?" Both Narutos and Robin said together in unison.

Kid Flash rubbed the back of his neck embarrassed. "Yeah kind of forgot who I was talking to"

"May I see your medallion?" M'gann asked politely.

Not taking the necklace off but leaning over closer to her medallion Naruto lifted the piece of metal around his neck into the Martin's hands so she could examine it.

"This is interesting…" She said as her slender fingers ran over the surface of the medallion stopping on the etched symbol on the metal. "There's a symbol carved on the medallion it looks like a mouth."

"A mouth?" Kid Flash whizzed right between Medallion Naruto and M'gann and gently plucked the medallion from the Martian's hands. "Sorry gorgeous just want to take a look at the magic necklace."

The speedster's face went from curious to smug as he started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Artemis asked as she looked back at the red head in annoyance.

"The magical babel necklace has the Rolling Stones logo carved in it!"

Artemis walked around Spoon Naruto and over towards Kid Flash and grabbed the necklace out of his hands which was still attached to Medallion Naruto's neck as he feel forward but kept his balance as he waved his arms to keep from tipping over.

Artemis meanwhile saw that the speedster was telling the truth as the jewelry indeed had the iconic giant pair of lips with a tongue sticking out of it.

But another grown from Aqualad stopped Artemis from bickering with Kid Flash.

"He needs immediate rehydration." Robin stated having shifted focus to more important matters. The young vigilant looked towards his Martian teammate and said. "You need to call the bioship, now!"

"I can't it's too far away." Placing a hand on top of the Kaldur's head Miss Martian let out some more bad news. "And I can't restore his memories in his current condition either."

A moment later an idea crossed the foe redheads mind. "But you can get Aqualad to the bioship really fast." She said addressing the teams residential speedster.

Kid Flash just shook his head in disagreement. "He's too heavy." He said down touted. "And I'm too low on fuel." Trying to lift the mood in his own Wally way he added in. "Right now I wouldn't even be able to carry her I'm down to only one good cheek yet."

Kid Flash was referring to Artemis who intern responded back by elbowing the spiky red head causing him to fall backwards onto the ground. "Naruto…ah Narutos ?" she addressed both shadow clones. "One of you was able to run at the same speeds as Kid Flash. You guys could probably be able to carry him to the ship."

Both Spoon Naruto and Medallion Naruto looked at each other and frowned as they shook their heads and looked back at Artemis. "We were both created around twelve hours ago." Medallion Naruto said first.

"Yeah and we've been burning chakra ever since." Spoon Naruto added in. "And we've both have been using justus' that ate away at our reserves the truth is we both probably only have about maybe an hour to half an hour and a half left before we go poof."

"Poof!?" Artemis exclaimed loudly. "What do you mean you're going to go poof!"

"That's what we do when we run out of power." Medallion Naruto stated evenly.

"Yeah, or if we take too much damage in battle." Spoon Naruto continued. The clone having spent the most time around Kid Flash and Arty saw the confused and slightly scared looks on their faces most likely worry about his existence. "But you guys don't need to worry!" the shadow clones cried out. "Everything we learn and experience goes back to the real Naruto. So when we both get destroyed and when you meet him it'll be like when never really left at all."

Easing up Artemis worry was swapped out for another idea on the transport Aqualad front. "M'gann I guess you'll just have to carry Aqualad telepathically."

"I can't I have to find Superboy!" M'gann whelped as her inner feelings for her team mate began to surface. "Six months ago he didn't exist…"

"What do you mean he didn't exist?" Spoon Naruto asked cutting off M'gann. "How can a guy that big be only six months old?"

"Superboy..he's.." M'gann started to hesitate not knowing the best way to describe the Kryptonian's origins.

"Superboy's a clone of Superman." Robin said stepping into play for Miss Martian as he explained. The two Narutos looked back at each other when they heard the word clone and shrugged at each other but stopped when Robin sighed and waved his hand to get their attention again.

"No not like you guys he isn't a magical duplicate or replication. He was created in a lab from samples of Superman's DNA."

"Superman." Spoon Naruto whispered as he remembered that name form somewhere before. "You guys mentioned him." The Naruto looked over towards Artemis and Kid Flash. "When we first met and I told you I was an alien you said I was like M'gaan's uncle and this Super guy."

"Yeah but he's not some super guy." Wally said. "He's Superman the super man he's like the strongest and greatest hero this planets got!" he then looked down at his chest and apologized to his uncle silently knowing that the scarlet speedster would have been slightly hurt that Wally called Superman the world's greatest hero instead of him.

"I think I get it." Medallion Naruto said as he nodded. "Superboy's like Captain Yamato."

Spoon Naruto scratched his head for a second before he too picked up the comparison. "Yeah kind of but it sounds like the Orochimaru of this world made a First Hokage from scratch instead of injected a bunch of test subjects with blood samples or whatever."

"…Ah yeah." not wanting to go down another rabbit hole on who the Narutos were referring to or the fact that they actually knew someone similar to Superboy and merely shrugged and rolled it off the speedster was about to tell M'gann that they didn't need to worry about Superboy at the moment to due to his indestructible psychology when he noticed that the Martian was nowhere in sight. "Where's M'gann!?"

"What? Oh yeah the green girl she put her hood over her head and used some sort of earth technique to sink into the ground when you were telling us who Superman was." Medallion Naruto said nonchalantly.

"She must have phased through the ground to try and rescue Superboy! Argg we don't even know what took away our memories!" Robin yelled as he tried to grasp M'gann reason for saving Superboy on her own. "It could happen to her again."

Medallion Naruto held his arm out and summoned his truth seeker orb disk over towards himself as he jumped in the air and landed on the malleable weapon. He then forced the disk to raise him into the air only to get yelled at by Artemis.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm going to go back up your friend. The Naruto with you should be able to help you carry Aqualad safely to your ship before he poofs."

Artemis was about to protest when Spoon Naruto agreed with his double. "Whoever's holding your super friend might not be expecting someone like me around. Plus that Naruto can undo the cursed seal I placed on Mr. Friendly otherwise he's going to need to learn how to fight with one arm for the rest of his life."

"See it's a good plan now go save Kaldur!" and with that Medallion Naruto chased after M'gann as he had seen which direction the Martian was facing before she sneaky went to save her roommate.

Spoon Naruto followed his fellow clone's lead and effortlessly lifted Aqualad off the ground and placed him on his back as he intend to piggy back the weekend Atlantean to safety.

Robin opened the holo computer on his wrist as he took point and lead the others while Naruto followed in second with Artemis running beside him for support while Kid Flash took the tail.

"Do you think that other Naruto will be able to catch up to M'gann in time?" Artemis asked while keeping up at a brisk pace.

Spoon Naruto's eyes widened as he winced and scrunched up his face as if he just came down with a massive headache. Before the Archer could ask what was wrong Naruto shook his head and smiled. "Don't worry I think he might actually beat her to Superboy's location."

"What makes you say that?" Robin asked as he switched from looking at his computer screen towards the horizon.

"Because, I just learned where Superboy is."

Off the side of a cliff Miss Martian flew out of the earth as she switched from intangible to camouflage mode as she made her way towards Superboy.

By the psychic screams echoing in her head the Martian knew that her somewhat secret crush was just beyond the ridge. Floating down the pass M'gann could see a rather large sized tent sent up on a clearing that was guarded by another battalion of soldiers.

She was about to stealthy evade and enter the tent as she felt Superboy was in the set up when a moment of panic caused her to hide behind a nearby boulder.

With her memories restored she was able to recall the exact details of the team's original mission more immortally she knew that the young slender dark skinned woman with a golden diadem resting on top her long black hair who was talking to one of the tent's guards was none other than Queen Bee the self-proclaimed monarch but in actuality dictator of Bialya.

M'gann ducked her invisible head out from the boulder and began to concentrate on listening to what the self-appoint ruler was saying to one of her soldiers.

"Your majesty I don't understand what you are doing out here?" the solider asked his queen while he slugged his rifle over his shoulder so he could salute the woman.

Queen Bee responded by pointing a finger at the solider and snarling out. "How dare you question my reasons for being out here in my desert?" she shouted. "Tell me something you lowly drone who wears the fancy crown thingy?" she asked pointing at her diadem.

"The fancy crown thingy?" the solider asked with his head tilt to the side.

"Yes you worm, the fancy crown who wears it!"

"Y…you do my lady!" the solider practically shouted as he went down on all fours and bowed all the while the other guards slowly inched away from their comrade having not to incur their lady's wrath.

"That's right now do as I say and release the half necked man boy who you have locked in there!" she demanded while nodding off to the tent. "I have some questions for him that need some answering."

The solider slowly lifted his head as he trembled. "But…but surly such an interrogation of the mad boy is beneath you why not let Master Psi…."

"Enough!" Queen Bee shouted as she interrupted the solider. "I will decide who is and isn't beneath my words now go, get out of here and bring me that boy!" she demanded while she shook her fist angrily.

"Yes your majesty I'll have him brought to you right away." The solider scurried off into the tent while the other soldiers nearly jumped back into their guard positions having being at ease while they listened to their comrade get chewed out by their dictator.

M'gann started to worry even more so as she debated on rather to try and psychically command Queen Bee over to her location so that the Martian could take knock her out and transform herself as the villainess ruler or to try and free Superboy now.

"Hey green girl!"

A loudly whispered voice nearly made the girl of mars jump out over her camouflaged skin as she turned around and saw that the Naruto with the magic translator necklace had managed to track her down.

"Naruto what are you? How did you….." M'gann calmed herself realizing that such questions didn't matter at the moment. "You have to help me save Superboy!"

"Well I can't really help you I feel like I could dispel at any moment I just came to give him this." By this he meant the necklace around his neck and when Naruto said him he pointed over towards Queen Bee.

It only took M'gann a second to put two and two together. "Hello Megan." She said while lightly smacked her head. "You're a shape shifter too!" she whispered excitingly as she looked back at Queen Bee. "That's another you over there isn't it?"

"Yeah and chances are that he's the real Naruto." The clone took his necklace off and placed it in M'gann's hands while he still held onto it. "Listen you need to float over there and give him this. If you don't then that Naruto won't know what any of those solider guys are saying to him and his cover's blown."

M'gann nodded. "Don't worry Naruto's err clone you can count on me but how's he going to…"

"Don't worry about that the." Naruto said quickly "When I dispel he'll now you're heading over towards him just try and place it in a pocket so it'll look like the Queen Lady just pulled it out and put it on."

"Alright on the count of three then one…"

"Two…"

"Three!"

Naruto dispelled and M'gann took over flying and inch or two off the ground as she quickly handed the Queen Bee Naruto the piece of enchanted jewelry. But just as the transformed Naruto placed the necklace around his neck someone came out of the tent, someone who definitely wasn't Superboy.

"What in the world are you doing out here my queen?" a man clad in a long black coat that shadowed his face thanks to the hood attached to it opened the drapes of the tent and came out of the temporary base.

Just as Naruto was about to respond the man pulled his hood back revealing that he had pale skin with red line running down the opposite direction then the birth marks on Naruto's face. Oh and that the top of his head was completely visible showing his bright pink brain that actually pulsed a few times.

The dark clothed man's radical appearance made Naruto jump back and yell out in surprise.

"Is there something the matter my Queen?" The brain man asked with an arrogant smirk as he had his hands in his pockets and looked back at Naruto as if he knew he wasn't the real Bee.

"N….no, not at all!" Naruto said back as he waved his hand in front of himself. "I just had forgotten for a moment how ugly you are." Naruto said rudely. "You are a very ugly man." Naruto said trying to act like how he thought a beautiful dictator would at seeing such a deformed man. "You're so ugly that it would not surprise me if farmers use your picture as a scarecrow that's how ugly I forgot you are. Any way what are you doing out here I demanded that the boy be released and kneeling at my feet."

The brain man brushed off Naruto's insults as he tried to test the Queen Bee before him. "Oh as you wish your majesty it's just didn't you order for me to break his mind so he could serve as one of your drones?"

"Yes I did!" Naruto said quickly while placing his hands at his hips while he swayed said hips to the side. "But I feel as though you're taking too long so I'll do it myself!"

"Oh and how are you planning to do that my Queen." The brain man asked undoubtingly testing Naruto's authenticity.

Unfortunately Naruto didn't really pick up on that. "Simple I'm going to seduce him with my bosoms!"

"Just as I thought your….wait WHAT?!"

"You heard me you ugly,ugly man I'm going to use the weapons my kind have been using since the beginning of time to control men." Naruto said as he actually placed his arms behind his head and started to jump up and down causing his breast to jiggle and bounce along with him.

M'gann who was crouching down next to Naruto angrily and uncharacteristically used physical force by punched him lightly in the leg for his extremely sexist and demeaning comment which made him stop jumping around like a jack ass.

"Ok…" the brain man said as he rubbed his temples in annoyance. "You can drop the a…."

"Wait a minute!" one of the Bialyan solders yelled as he aimed his rifle at Naruto. "Her majority's breasts are at least one or two cup sizes smaller then this woman's!"

"Yes your right!" another shouted. "Our lady has a modest endowment not the ridiculous large mammaries of an adult film star!"

"Oh really?" the brain man said sarcastically. "She's an imposter I would have never would have guessed it. Thank Skath that you men have memorized Queen Bee's measurements or otherwise we would never have known the truth."

"Damn it." Naruto said disappointingly as he canceled the Jutsu and transformed back to his normal self. "I really thought that would have worked. I shouldn't have balanced the sexiness to realness ratio."

Naruto's unveil had actually shocked the brain man as he looked confused. "What in the.. you're not the Martian who are you?!" he asked/ demanded.

"I'm the guy who's' going to kick your ass you freaky looking alien!" Naruto shouted as he spirited and got ready to knock the brain man out.

With an evil grin on his face the brain man placed his hand over his visible chrome dome and sent out the psychic command. "Psimon says stop!"

That phrase jogged M'gann's memory as she became viable and tried to warn the ninja. "Naruto watch out he's a telepath!"

But it was too late. Psimon already sent out an aggressive blast that drew in both Naruto and M'gann into the inner workings of their collective minds.

In the shadow of the night Robin led the others through the desert in hopes of finding the ship that would get Aqualad to safety.

They had all stopped running as they had gotten closer, exchanging speed for caution as more Bialyan soldiers were patrolling the current area.

When the sounds of militarized Humvees started to get louder and the earth shacking ever so slightly, Robin pointed over to a nearby rock formation and said. "Quick. Over there!"

Naruto followed the younger boy as he still carried the unconscious Atlantean on his back as he was followed by Artemis and Kid Flash.

As the teenage wastelanders hid behind the rock, they watched as three Humvees past by completely missing them thanks to the cover.

Moaning Aqualad tried to prey himself off of Naruto. Feeling that he wanted to be let down Naruto gently propped Kaldur against the rock.

"Τούλα…" Aqualad said slowly as he wearily tried to open his eyes. "…που είναι το όνομα κάποιου μία αγαπητή μου στην Ατλαντίδα αν πεθάνω αυτήν την ημέρα της πω ότι ..."

But before he could finish his declaration Naruto cut him off by yelling "You can tell her yourself when me and your friends get you back home, stupid!" while he shook the underwater warrior violently.

"Dude, knock it off!" Kid Flash said as he placed an arm on Naruto's shoulder to get him to stop. "What's he saying anyway?"

Letting go of Kaldur Naruto said. "He doesn't think he's going to make it so he's doing that thing where he says to tell the girl he likes back home that he loves her."

Artemis was somewhat surprised the second most stoic member of her team had a girl he pined for back home. Empathizing with the older boy she placed a hand on his forehead and tried to get him to settle down. "Kaldur shhh" she said gently. "You have to stay quite now to save your strength."

Robin, who was keeping watch looking over the top of the rocks, ducked his head back in when he saw a squad of foot soldiers cover the rear of the Humvee convoy.

"We can't risk a fire fight with Aqualad weakened like this." The boy wonder stated.

"It's not just him. I'm way out of juice." Wally sighed out while rubbing his head.

"And I'm almost out of arrows." Artemis said just as both she and Kid Flash jumped back when Robin fell right in front of them on his tail feathers.

"Hey what are you doing!" the masked vigilant angrily said towards Naruto who was stepping away from the cover of the giant rock.

"I'm going to go poof any minute now." The ninja said not talking his eyes of the nearby soldiers. "You said your ship's not far from here you guys get ready to rehydrate your friend then hightail it out of here!

"If you're running out of power, how do you expect to take out all of those soldiers?" Robin asked as he got back up to his feet.

Naruto smiled as he placed his hands into the ram seal and said. "By doing what I do best, being unpredictable!" A puff of smoke surrounded the ninja covering his body for only a second as the dust cleared immediately revealing in the young man's place now stood a tire.

"Wha…how….why…..N…Naruto?" was the semi-incoherent sounds Kid Flash said as he along with Robin and Artemis watched the tire start to roll its way out of their cover and out in the open for all the world to see.

Kid Flash slowly panned his head over towards Artemis as his jaw unhinged and his eyes nearly popped out of his skull. "Tell me did he just….."

"Yeah." Artemis answered as she looked ahead to where Naruto once stood. "I….I saw it too."

"R…Robin?" Kid asked as he looked up at the boy wonder, who had scaled to the top of the rock formation and pulled out a pair of binoculars so he could monitor Naruto's play.

"Dude, I spent the last five years fighting members from Batman's rogue gallery in a city that I'm eighty five present sure is like haunted or cursed. Seeing a super powered, ninja alien turning into a tire isn't that surprising to me if anything I should have been kind of expecting it." Robin stated in a grizzly voice.

"R…really?"

Despite the intense situation Robin let out a chuckle. "Nah I was just messing with you."

Kid Flash glared at his friend but didn't say anything as Robin continued.

"I wouldn't have guessed one of Naruto's powers being able to turn into a tire, but…"Looking back at his teammates Robin asked out loud. "What do you guys think Naruto meant by getting ready to rehydrating Aqualad?"

The sound of an explosion followed by a blast of windy sand got the boy wonder to look back over towards Naruto's rumble and tumble all the while a more solid object fell over the giant boulder and landed right next to Kid Flash and Artemis.

Cautiously approaching the object and dusting it off Kid Flash pulled it out of the ground. "It's a canteen." He said out load as rotated the plastic bottle in his hand just as another canteen fell out of the sky and landed right next to where the last one landed.

Wally let out a hysterical laugh as he bolted over towards Kaldur and quickly ripped the cap of the bottle and dumped the context onto his fallen field leader. "Ha ha way to go Naruto!" Kid Flash turned his head over towards Artemis and angrily snapped at her. "Don't just stand there get the other one!"

Frowning at Kid's abrasive order the emerald archer followed her senpai's lead as she grabbed the second canteen and started to pour the neutering liquid down Aqualad's throat.

"Guys get ready for the next round!" Robin shouted as he stayed vigilant his eyes not weaving from watching Naruto fight.

Just as he said a volley of canteens fell over towards them both Kid Flash and Artemis threw their empties and gather as many canteens as they could ripping the tops off the bottles and pouring the context of water all over Aqualad.

"Try to get as much water as you can on his gills." Kid instructed Artemis as he was busy pouring his last bottle on Kaldur's head.

Artemis complied by pouring and patting the water along the sides of the fallen Atlantean's neck trying not to freak out every time the respiratory organ opened up to drink the water. "Hey Robin how's it looking on Naruto's end?" she asked trying to distract herself.

"Those Bialyan soldiers are acting like any other normal person would when facing a sentient tire, seriously though as a guy who currently has no legs he's kicking a lot of ass out there." Robin reported as another explosion when off in the distance.

"You know I figure Naruto just might have shape shifting powers like M'gann that would explain how he has the ability to turn into a tire." Artemis said as she scrunched up her face in confusion. "But what I can't figure out is out of all the things he could turn into why'd he transformed into a tire?"

"Honestly.." Robin said as he pulled his binoculars down and gave his best deductive guess. "..no reason."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"This is amazing!"

In an endless void with the only sense of real word stability was the equally endless body of water that sat under her feet M'gann M'orzz couldn't stop gushing at the inner workings of Naruto's mind.

"It's just my head." Naruto said sheepishly as he scratched the back of his neck. "If it was really impressive it'd be full of stuff or something right?"

M'gann just shook her head. "Not at all every mind I've ever encountered has had some sort of mental image that represented the person's memories, inner thoughts, or even personality. But your mind is so empty!"

"Hey are you calling my dumb, green girl!" Naruto angrily shouted pointing a finger at said Martian.

"What no,no!" Miss Martian soothed waving her hands in defensive embarrassed for sounding so crass. "What I mean is your mind's clear and organized like you've achieved serenity and inner peace."

"R..really?"

"Yes, back home the elder Martian priests would tell us that such equanimity of a living beings mind like this was achieved with a life time of meditation that would take have a century to achieve!"

"Well it's not that great!" Naruto said being bashfully again as he playfully waved off M'gann compliment again. "All that disorganized stuff and my memories are down there." The ninja stated while pointing bellow them on the water that the both of them stood upon.

It was then the water began to ripple and something breached to the surface. M'gann took a few steps back as she saw a giant animal about the size of her Earth home and team's base of operations Mount. Justice emerged from the depth.

The creature looked like a fox but with the upper-body structure of a humanoid, its whole body was covered in dark orange fur with blood red eyes that felt as if they were piercing M'gann soul as the creature looked directly down at both her and Naruto.

"Oh my….what….what is that?!" the Martian asked in a whimper having never feeling such a presence before in her entire life.

"Oh that's just my buddy Kurama!" Naruto said excitingly as he pointed over to the beast. "This is actually pretty cool I think besides Saskue you're the only other person who's met him in my head."

"I…I don't understand?" M'gann swallowed a huge gulp as she started to shake a little. "Is…is he some sort of phantasm some sort of mental projection of a repressed memory or emotion."

Now it was starting to make sense how someone so young like Naruto was able to achieve such serenity, he had bottled up all of his negative memories and emotions into one form and suppressed it in the deepest parts of his mind!

"What? No he's my friend!" Naruto shouted. "He used to be an angry jerk that used to hate everybody but then he was sealed in me the day I was born and about a day ago we became friends. So now he's not an evil grump anymore…" Naruto slowly rolled his eyes as he looked Kurama in the face and added. "Well not as evil."

"Funny Naruto." Kurama said sarcastically as he pulled out the last part of his body from the water which happened to be the nine long tails that made up his more famous epithet.

But as he pulled his last tail out M'gann stopped her shivering when she saw who it was wrapped around it.

"R…realse me at once!" Psimon shouted as he gagged out the ectra mental water that had been burning in his lungs. Kurama complied and flicked his appendage causing Psimon to land harshly on the surface of the water that act as a solid surface.

Once he stopped rolling the villain slowly got to his feet as his eyes glowed red and his visible brain began to burst out a volley of black and red metal energy around himself.

"Enough! You are all mere vermin compared me!" he shouted as he addressed Naruto and M'gann "Besides being Queen Bee's trusted advisor I am an acolyte of the Ravager of Skath all those who tormented me will suffer…." But he didn't get to finish his rant do to Kurama flicking one of his mighty clawed fingers at the psychic's body causing him to be blasted forward.

Naruto dully held up his arm and close lined the projected brain villain as he nearly passed by causing him to hit the floor again.

M'gann looked down at Prison as he was helplessly floating on the ground face down as a few bubbles started to come out of his mouth.

Having being a mental projection of the real Psimon the one currently in Naruto's head didn't die from Naruto and Kurama's counter attack but was still gravely shaken up as Naruto lifted him from the hood on his jacket and out of the water.

"Ok Brain Man." Naruto said as he raised Psimon to eye level. "I got some questions for you." the shinobi started to shake Psimon back and forth as he yelled out. "Who do you work for?! And have you seen a living shadow guy named Zetsu anywhere in this desert the past twenty four hours?!"

"Naruto stop!" M'gann placed her hand on Naruto's shoulder "We already know he works for Queen Bee."

Naruto stopped shacking Psimon as he looked back at M'gann. "Who's Queen Bee?"

"The woman you were impersonating you blond idiot." Psimon replied as he tried to get Naruto back for his ugly jokes from before. "Who did you think you were when you shapeshifted into her?"

"I just thought she was like a famous actress or something I didn't know she was your leader until I turned into her and the soldiers guarding the tent call me your majority." The shinobi shrugged "I got the jump on one of those soldiers who was at a radio outpost when I saw….ahh." Naruto stopped talking as he just clamed up.

"What did you see?" Psimon asked not knowing what Naruto was thinking mainly because he was already in the boy's mind.

"You know the guy was alone with a picture of a pretty lady and he was alone."

Psimon scrunched up his face and said. "That's disgusting."

"Hey I'm the one who saw the solider guy doing it!" Naruto yelled. "I'm just lucky he wasn't close to finishing otherwise I don't think I'd ever stop throwing up."

"I don't get it. What was the solider doing with a picture of Queen Bee that's so disgusting?" M'gann asked only to get blank looks from both Naruto and Psimon.

Kurama lowered his gigantic head to her level and managed to whisper in the girl's ear causing her cheeks to tint a shade of scarlet. "Oh my…..is that all men do when they have free time to themselves?"

"You're one to talk, Martian." Psimon chuckled out. "When I got the mental jump on you from before and wiped that last few months in the minds of you and your teammates I saw bits and flashes of your memories as they passed by like the one of you from a few days ago lying in bed thinking about the Superboy with your hand down your…agg!" Psimon's taunting was interrupted when Naruto placed his wet finger into the older man's ear and started to tunnel his digit around Psimon's ear canal..

"Shut up Brainy!" Naruto pulled his finger out and started to march over to Kurama. Nodding to his roommate the tailed beast opened his mouth allowing Naruto to lower Psimon's neck on the set of Kurmama's lower jaw. "Stop making fun of M'gann and tell me what I want to know!" but Naruto then turned his head around and smiled creepily at M'gaan. "I knew you liked that Super guy."

Turning a shade of scarlet that would have made her mistaken for a red Martian M'gann started to swat her hands on Naruto's back like she would to an older sibling who was teasing her.

"All right, all right I'll answer whatever questions you want!" Psimon screamed as Kurama took it upon himself to slowly close his mouth on top of pale man. "I haven't seen any living shadow man all right I've been busy working on Superboy!"

"What do you mean working on him?" M'gann asked as she stopped smacking Naruto.

Despite how close he was to losing his head Psimon managed to let out an evil cackle. "While the two of you have been inside this golden boy's mind the rest of Queen Bee's soldiers have undoubtingly strapped both of your unconscious body's into the same restraints as Superboy." He snarled not really answering Miss Martian's question. "As we speak both of you are going to be subjected to the same experiments as the so called boy of steel! Prepare to feel pain which you have never experienced in your whole life!"

"He's right!" M'gann gasped in terror. "I was pulled In Naruto's mind by force I didn't have time to prepare a psychic barrier to protect my body let alone yours!" she addressed the last bit to Naruto.

The ninja dropped Psimon out of Kurama's mouth area and on the ground as he bend down and placed a finger on the surface of the water.

Ripples began to emerge as the water started to reflect the outside world. "You don't have to worry about that Kurama tagged in for me when Brain Jerk pulled us into my head look!"

M'gann looked down at the water and asked. "What do you mean tagged in?"

"Quickly behind the vehicles!" two Bialyan soldiers ran desperately from the creature that was attacking research camp site that they were supposed to be guarding. Jumping over the hood of one of their Humvee's the soldiers tried to catch their collective breaths and reload their assault rifles.

"I don't understand I thought whenever Mr. Psimon uses his abilities, his victims are supposed to be immobile!" one of the soldiers yelled as he cautiously looked over the hood of the car trying to spot the enemy only to duck back down in fear, for in only two seconds of looking out all he saw was a teenage boy surrounded by a pile of unmoving bodies while he held up another solider by the neck and just continued to punch the man over and over and over again.

"As far as I know Psimon has only used his abilities on humans!" the other solider yelled grinding his teeth a little as another explosion went off close by. "But that…..that boy he's, he's I don't know what he is!"

It was at that moment both of the soldiers froze in fear as without even looking they could feel that the Humvee they were using as cover had started to lift off the ground. Slowly panning their heads they saw the yellow haired boy with red animistic eyes was holding the two and a half ton vehicle over his head just to see him effortlessly toss it over towards the research tent, causing the make shift base to collapse in on itself and fall down to pieces.

"Die monster!"

The soldier on the left yelled as he pointed his gun at Kurama Naruto, who countered by opening his mouth and taking hold of the riffle from the barrel. Like a dog playing with its favorite rope Kurama managed to pull the weapon out of the soldier's hands while biting the barrel completely off the rifle.

Holding the now useless weapon in his hand Kurama used his claw fingers to tear the assault rifle completely apart which gave the terrified soldiers the only chance to run away from the tailed beast as quickly as possible.

"Ha ha ha ha with all that's happened in the last few days I almost forgot how much fun it is to torment lower life forms." Kurama chuckled as he pulled the gun's magazine out and started to look at the bullets loaded in it.

The two soldiers who were running for their lives didn't get far before another Humvee with the numerical marks of another out post abruptly stopped in front of the two with just a sole driver occupying the vehicle.

"I got a distress call over the radio!" the driver yelled out as he pressed a button opening the doors in order to let the other soldiers in. "Quickly one of you operate the machine gun while I run that monster into the ground".

But before they could board the Humvee all three soldiers saw the mounted machine gun get shot into pieces as it feel completely of its mount like a chopped down tree. Turning around they all saw that Kurama had been shooting back at them by firing 5.56mm bullets from his mouth!

Kurama spat the empty shells out of his mouth like they were empty sunflower seeds. "Arg these bullet things taste like lightbulbs." He complained as he took a deep breath and downed another series of ammunition by quickly ejecting bullets out of the magazines like it he was eating candy out a pez dispenser.

"Ok on second thought get in now before I leave you behind!" the driver shouted as he floored the Humvee's accelerator taking off in fear with the other solders following behind.

"Ahgh Iwhon I ak the begt!" Kurama mumbled due to having a mouth full of bullets. He pumped his fists in victory as he surveyed the area. All the other soldiers who weren't slowly bleeding to death on the ground had run off in fear either to get reinforcements or just keep running.

The only two bodies' left standing was the Martian girls and the villain Psimon's.

Kurama started to swish the ammunition still rooting around his mouth as he menacingly approached Psimon's unresponsive body. With a glint of his old sadistic nature Kurama spat out all the rounds from his mouth infusing every bullet that left his lips with a dash of his chakra increasing the power behind the already deadly slugs.

Alas the fox's attack was in vain as the moment the first bullet entered Psimon's personal space a black and red shield that materialized and ricocheted all the rounds harmlessly around the psychic's body and flying in different directions the last bullet that reflected off the telepathic shield had shot back at Kurama and grazed him on the cheek.

Reaching up to wipe the blood from the fresh cut Kurama growled out. "I'm going to make your experience in Naruto's mind a nightmare!"

"RAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The sound of a blood curdling roar caught Kurama's his attention from his own hypocrisy.

From the runes of the research tent an object shot out from the center of the wreckage. Kurama stood perfectly still not moving an inch with the expectation of his head as he watched the flying object touch back down onto the earth. Upon impact the ground shook creating a shock wave that blew sand and dust like a hurricane in every direction clearing only when the unknown forced jumped again landing right in front of the tailed beast with its second thundering step clearing the dusk reveling that it had been a freed but still very hostile Superboy.

Kurama started back at the shirtless clone sensing only emotions of pure rage and malice coming from the seething boy. "What, am I supposed to be impressed?" the tallied beast asked.

With his left arm still being held down by Naruto's sealing jutsu, Superboy let out a wild haymaker with his right aiming it right at Kurama's head.

But on that instant with only a quarter of a second to react the tailed beast held up his right arm and blocked the attack.

The force behind Superboy's blow created another boom that shook the Earth but had absolutely no effect on Kurama.

"I'm still waiting to be impressed." Kurama replied dryly as Superboy with all of his super human might tried to push Kurama's arm down or at least budge it.

"Times up, kid." The tailed beast went on the offensive with his new victim. Being within such close proximity Kurama reeled back his head and unleashed a full force head-butt upon the mad boy's own skull.

The power behind Kurama's taijutsu tactic was enough to send Superboy skidding backwards stopping a few yards away as he grasped his forehead and tried to ease the pain.

Kurama didn't give the clone a second to breathe as he ran behind Psimon and created a red chakra cloak that only enclosed around his right leg. "My serve!" he yelled getting his sports mixed up as he kicked Psimon's psychic shield as hard as he could.

While the telepathic safeguard managed to hold up it was still stuck with enough force that it was shot off the ground with Psimon going along within it.

Superboy's vison cleared up just in time to see the flying psychic's shield ram into his face so hard that he fell on his back as Psimon himself bounced of Superboy landing right into a large rock formation, imbedding his body unconsciously into the bedrock.

The boy of steel laid on the ground unmoving even when he could hear Kurama approach him. "You know it's rather strange but from what I can gather you and I are somewhat alike." Kurama said as he kneeled down and poked Superboy on the head. "I too know what it feels like to have your will striped and replaced by another's, while you're left as nothing more than a puppet."

Kurama then held out his hand and grabbed Superboy by the neck lifting and squeezing the boy's throat.

"But then again it's not so much as your mind being controlled, but rather it's been erased."

Superboy tried to use his only usable hand to squeezed and pull Kurama's forearm in hopes of escaping the tailed beasts grip but it was of no use.

"You're worse off than I ever was. Nothing left but an empty shell full of primal anger and instinct, seeing everything as a threat."

Kurama got up lifting Superboy along with him raising the boy off the ground and still holding him by gripping the clone's esophagus. "Maybe ending your pitiful life would be giving you a mercy you so desperately need."

BOOM!

Turning his head slightly to the side Kurama could see that another object had escaped from the ruins of the giant tent as a metal sphere like object was rolling its way towards him at great speed.

"Oh what now?" Kurama effortlessly threw Superboy away with enough force that he actually tumbled across the ground before he had come to a stop, just as the mysterious metal sphere had parked itself right in front of Kurama and turned around to its side so that the red plate with a sigil of some sort was facing him.

Kurama folded his arms as he looked back at the metal sphere acting as if it were a sentient being. "Well…" he asked in an irritated tone. "What do you want?"

"Beep,beep,beep,beep." The Sphere said by letting out a series of tone beeps each with a unique pitch.

"I wasn't going to kill him." Kurama pointed over towards Superboy as said boy started to get back on his feet again. "I thought if I threatened him the shock of almost dying would have restarted his mind along with his memories."

Superboy shook his head and angrily charged back at Kurama who without even turning around or facing the charging boy flexed his pointed finger into a fist and delivered stand still blow right into Superboy's jaw.

"Beep,beep,beep!"

"Come now that was clearly his fault!"

"Beep,beep,beep,beep,beep!"

This time Kurama did turn his head to see that his latest blow had only staggered Superboy as he let his chakra cursed arm swing motionlessly while trying not to fall over. But his eyes that burned with rage never left Kurama even as he spat a glob of blood to the ground.

"I will give him this, he has tenacity. I suppose he's earned a graceful death." Opening his still held out hand Kurama concentrated as he began to mix an eight to two ratio of both positive and negative chakra created a purple sphere in his palm.

"BEEP,BEEP!"

"Oh come on I was just kidding this attack won't kill him…probably."

"Beep,beep,beep,beep!"

Kurama sighed heavily while he rubbed his brow with his free hand. "Ok you know what I want to know why, why do you even care if this kid lives or dies anyway?"

"BEEP!" the Sphere screeched out as loudly as it could. "BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP whirling noise BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEP!"

"Really, how many do you have?" Kurama asked as he lowered his attacking arm but not powering down his hand that held tallied beast bomb.

"Beep." The sphere replied.

"I can't image looking after five brats I have enough trouble with just the one…. kind of"

The sphere rolled closer to Kurama and started to gently nudge him back and forth causing the tailed beast to fail out his unused arm.

"Alright, alright!" the chakra in Kurama's hand started rotating in the opposite direction as it started to grow brighter and brighter until it illuminated so bright it dissipated completely.

"Beep beep?" the sphere asked as it wanted to know what Kurama just did.

"Wait for it….."

Superboy's dead arm started to rise up on its own as the cursed seals that paralyzed it glowed and a large piece of metal slowly levitated and stuck onto the limb. Panicking the clone tried to pry the piece of Humvee off his arm only for another piece of random debris stuck on top of that. Soon everything that was remotely attracted to a magnetic field was spiraling to get on top of Superboy's arm this include the sphere itself!

The giant sphere started to panic as it ran as fast as it could against the invisible swell of electrical waves that was sweeping and pulling the other objects.

"Beep beep beep beep beep!" the sphere cried out as it outputted as much spin power as it could.

"Calm down it'll pass it a few more moments." Kurama assured the sphere as it continued to run as fast as it could. "It's not my fault you're made out of metal."

When the electromagnetic pulsing finally stopped, Superboy's arm was completely incased in a semi-truck sized pyramid made out of ever metallic object in a fifty yard radius.

Kurama started to approach Superboy not stopping at all as the trapped boy snarled and thrashed around until in a moment of desperation tried to gnaw is arm off.

"Are you serious?" Kurama asked as he hunched down and lifted M'gaan's body off the ground and over his shoulders. "Your neck's not flexible for that to work, dumbass!"

"Beep,beep,beep." The sphere tweeted as it followed the fox.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" Kurama said as he took a knee and press M'gaan over Superboy's face. "I'm sending him to a place where he can get his mind fixed."

"Superboy!" the angry and mindless Kryptonian had found himself a guest in the inner workings of Naruto's mindscape as M'gann excitingly placed her hands on his face and touched his forehead with her own.

"Ha ha ha…." A sinister voice chuckled. "You sound so reveled tell me is that mindless creature supposed to save your mind against mine!?" Psimon asked while he was currently in a head lock curtesy of Naruto.

"You know if I were you'd I'd be more worried about my own head!" Naruto stated as he squeezed Psimon harder on his last word.

Felling that he might have knocked the mental wind out of his captive Naruto released his hold on Psimon and started walking over towards M'gann not noticing that the sinister psychic wasn't not out just royally angry as he rubbed his throat and glared daggers at the ninja.

"Why'd you bring him in here?" Naruto asked Kurama as he watched the Martian fix the Kryptonian.

"I thought the green girl would be able to fix that angry kid." Kurama replied as he stood behind the ninja. "What else was I supposed to do put him down?"

"I guess your right...it's just weird having so many people in my head."

"I suppose having your mind not empty is a new sensation for you."

"Yeah it…..HEY!" Naruto shouted as he raised an arm angrily at the giant fox. "Shut up jerk!"

Meanwhile M'gann lowered her hands away from Superboy's temples as the clone stared back at her smiling as he started to look at his surroundings, narrowing his eyes when he saw Naruto.

"YOU!" Superboy growled as he was trying his hardest to set the ninja on fire with his mind.

"Me?" Naruto asked pointing at himself. "Are you still made that I kicked your butt from before." Naruto said cockily as he flexed his hands just in case he was in for a rumble.

Superboy shook his fists in fury. "You tried to kill me, TWICE!"

"What are you…I never tried to…..Kurama!" Naruto turned around as he yelled at his internal roommate. "You were just supposed to stop him from hurting anyone if you ran into that guy, not kill him!"

Kurama looked down upon Naruto, Superboy, and M'gann as he rested his mighty head on paw hand and just let out a yawn. Rolling his eyes the tailed best said lazily. "I think that brain man's trying to go deeper in your mind, Naruto."

The fox spoke the truth as Psimon was on his hands and knees unleashing a static of psychic energy that was slowly alloying him to sink into the water. "Ha ha ha you know the down side of achieving inner peace and serenity?" he asked as he wiped his head up smiling sinisterly as he continued to laugh.

Not waiting for a response from the teens or the giant fox behind him Psimon answered his own question. "It means the deeper levels of your mind have zero defenses!"

The psychic let out one last chuckle of victory before he had completely submerged the only traces that were left of him where the ripples that traveled from where he once stood.

"Oh no!" M'gann gasped as she ran over next to Naruto. "Don't worry if I follow him I might be able to stop him from causing damage to your mind."

"I'm coming too!" Superboy shouted as he ran over to Naruto's left side making the ninja standing in the middle. "I still owe that creep for what he did to me!"

"Wait!" Naruto raised his arms stopping both Miss Martian and Superboy from doing any such actions. "Look!" the ninja pointed over towards the ripples Psimon left behind, addressing the fact that instead of slowly subduing the ripples vibrated even faster showing that something was about to emerge.

It did in the form of a giant brown tentacle wiggling itself about as it had a screaming Psimon warped around the telepath's torso.

"Is that, it can't be?" Naruto pondered out loud not really caring that the pleading psychic was crying out in agony as the tentacle started to crush his mentally projected ribs. "Is that Gyuki?" Naruto asked pointing at the tentacle.

"Don't you remember when the other tailed beasts gave you their chakra?" Kurama said as he moved his head from side to side watching the eight tailed ox's tentacle tail swing Psimon back and forth violently. "Like me those small fragments are in your mind scape just only on deeper levels."

"Excuse me Mr. Giant Fox" M'gann meekly asked. "Are you saying there are more entities such as yourself in Naruto's mind?"

"Yeah including Kurama there're about nine of them all together." Naruto explained.

"You have eight more of those things inside you?" Superboy said in a snarky tone. "And I thought my mind was abnormal."

"Watch your mouth, kid!" Kurama snapped as he let out a growl. "I don't need to use Naruto as a proxy to beat the shit out of you again!"

"See told you it wasn't me who fought you…" Naruto said as his eyes shifted over to the side and he whispered from the side of his mouth. "….well not from the last time at least."

"P…please!" Psimon shouted out as his pale face started to show a shade of blue. "End my misery, I beg you!"

Naruto solemnly shook his head. "I'm sorry but I can't do that. I know you're in a lot of pain right now but killing you is going….

"I don't want you to kill me you dolt!" Psimon shouted as he continued to worm his way free. "I want to escape from this labyrinth of melancholy you call a mind! Please let me go!"

"Oh well then just leave." Naruto said throwing up his hands. "You're the one who entered my mind in the first place smart guy!"

Psimon squinted is eyes as hard as if praying for the wish of a life time just to open his eyes with a dark purple glow behind them. In a burst of light he was gone having tunred into vapor leaving Gyuki's empty tentacle to slowly slither back into the water.

"What did you do?" Superboy demanded as he placed a powerful hand on Naruto's shoulder. "You let the bad guy get away!"

Naruto merely rotated his shoulder shaking Superboy off. "Don't worry about it I don't think brain guy's going to get very far."

Real World

Before even opening his eyes Psimon flared his nostrils taking in the brisk, cool desert air as a sinister grin spread across his face. "Quickly Men!" he shouted "Her majesty has no need for these children execute them at one…AHAHAHAHAH!"

Was what Psimon yelled out form the top of his lungs as he fell of the side of a cliff and started tumbling down to the ground as his body slammed into every jagged, pointy and uneven formation of stone the giant stony hill had to offer.

Across the way back to the wretched remains of the militia campsite Naruto, M'gann, and Superboy had entered the walking world as well.

With a blink of an eye Naruto saw that he was holding M'gann up by the side as he came to. "Ah…hello." He said awkwardly to the Martian.

M'gann looked back at Naruto just as embarrassed at their close proximity towards each other as she said hello as well only to quickly look around in fear. "Wait where's Superboy?" she asked franticly.

The sound of a low rumble mumble made the ninja look down to see that he was actually holding M'gann upon Superboy's face as the boy of steel was still pinned to the ground thanks to his giant pyramid anchor.

"Oh crap, M'gann I don't know how to say this but you're actually…." As Naruto looked back up to address the girl more properly he could see that every time Superboy tried to say something it made M'gann roll her eyes up as her cheeks turned red and she tried really hard to bit her lip close.

The second she let out a small sensual moan Naruto released his hold on the girl and backed away in shame. "Ah man, save that stuff for your bedroom, M'gann."

The Martian immediately stopped her panting as she turned transparent and sunk into the ground but not before phasing Superboy's arm free before sinking all the way.

Out of his bondage Superboy wearily got back to his feet as he gave his neck a few cracks. Wanting to bury the hatchet Naruto walked back over towards the clone.

"Look about before I'm sorry that I…I." he slowly stopped talking when he saw Superboy's bruised and battered face. "…no…no hard feelings?" Naruto held out his fist hoping for a bump.

Superboy just stared blackly at Naruto, which scared the ninja more than the taller boy's angry face as he couldn't stop looking at Superboy's semi-swollen eye. Superboy final moved as he merely huffed and walked past Naruto leaving him hanging as it were.

Turning around Naruto saw picking something out from the pool of blood Superboy spat out from before. Shifting throw the murky flued Superboy held up a tooth that Kurama had managed to knock out of his head.

"That's not going to grow back, is it?"

Superboy didn't answer as he placed the tooth in his pocket. "Where's M'gann?"

The Martian finally finished composing herself as she came back up from the ground and stood right next to Superboy.

Without saying a word to each other Naruto watched as M'gann looked horrified as she placed a hand on the side of Superboy's face and caressed his cheek.

Superboy looked dejected as he tried to turn away most likely not wanting the girl to see him in his current state as it looked like he really need to see a doctor….or at least a cutman.

But M'gann looked like she was having none of that as she gently forced Superboy to look back at her as she try her lips closer to his.

"I don't think I should be watching this." Naruto said quietly as he turned his head and used his hand to give the two some form of privacy only for his efforts to be in vain as the giant sphere from before rolled right up to the couple and beeped for their attention.

Superboy didn't look all that disappointed as he smiled. "Can I keep it?"

That caused the sphere to twirl around. "Beep,beep beep"

That made Naruto laugh as he held his arms behind his head. "That's funny it asked if it was all right to keep you!"

M'gann slowly broke away from Superboy as she laughed as well but stopped when she Superboy looking back at Naruto solemnly.

The ninja stopped as well as he saw Superboy looking at him as well.

"Before when he first fought you protected M'gann from me." Superboy said. "Because of that I can overlook this." He said pointing at his face. "But tell that roommate of yours next time we're setting the score."

Naruto walked up to M'gann and Superboy holding up his fist again which Superboy bumped this time. "Kurama's not really saying anything now but I can ask him latter right now we should..." Naruto's voice trailed off as he scrunched up face and looked back over the distance from where he and M'gann had come from.

"Naruto?" M'gann asked sensing an aura of dread coming from the ninja. 'What's wrong?"

"It's my shadow clone the one that was with your friends."

"Yeah, what about it?" Superboy asked as he rubbed his wounds as he felt the open cuts finally begin to close up.

"Well it should have gone poof by now and I should be getting all the memories of meeting and spending time with your other friends besides Kaldur, but I'm not."

"What are you saying?" M'gann asked.

"I think the other members of your team might be in big trouble!

Ten minutes ago

Robin stood eagle eyed as ever as he watched Naruto roll his tire body all the way back to their waypoint. The boy wonder slid down the top of the rock formation just as the Naru-clone transformed back from rubber to chakra infused blubber.

"Wow I can't believe you took out a whole squad of soldiers as a freaking tire!" Robin shouted having known there was no more need for stealth.

The clone just smiled as he pointed his thumb at himself. "Yeah I guess it's a good thing I had more charka than I thought I did." he said letting out a cocky laugh. "I can't believe I took out those guys myself, if I'm being honest."

"Well technically most of those soliders caused a lot of damage to themselves by running around with their fingers on their automatic rifles." Robin shrugged. "But while we're on the subject of honesty I'd be pretty messed up too if I was in their shoes."

Naruto nodded as he turned towards the currently silent members of their little party as both Artemis and Kid Flash were kneeling beside Aqualad's slightly twitching body with their backs facing the ninja and the acrobat. "So did the water help your fishy friend?"

Naruto's words only traveled to deaf ears as neither the archer nor the speedster said or did anything to acknowledgehis question.

Starting to worry at his friend's unresponsive behavior Robin took a step forward and repeated Naruto's question. "Come on guys talk to us Aqualad's a little better now, right?"

Still nothing as the two teens were still as death.

It was more than enough of a reason for Robin to open a defense as he pulled out a few of his batarangs. "What…why aren't they saying anything?"

It was at that moment Robin felt something slam right into him knocking the boy into the rock formation he was on top of earlier.

While rubbing his arm he angrily yelled. "Naruto what's your deal? Why did you…" but his anger slowly turned to dread as he looked upon the Naruto clone to see two white spears like objects that looked a lot like bones sticking right out of the ninja's chest and stomach.

Before Robin could say anything the two white spears disintegrated into dust just as Naruto's gut and chest did the same as the yellow haired alien's whole body turned to ashes but not before watching Naruto's glittering silver spoon fell out of his hands clanging dramatically off of a small rock it landed on, he whispered out with his final breath. "Run!"

Still shell shocked at seeing that last bits of Naruto slowly fall to the ground as the whole teenager was reduced to literal ashes Robin followed opted for a tactical retreat in order to engage the new threat from a distance… well at least that was what he would try and rationales his reason for running later in the here and now the fourteen year old boy was running for his life not wanting to follow the shadow clones fate.

But just before he could leap into the shadows something had pulled Robin by his boot forcing him to the ground just so he could start to slowly be dragged into the direction the white spears originated form. He was able to turn his whole body around to see Kid Flash and Artemis slowly rise from the ground in harmony as they both turned towards him in perfect synchronization.

It was then Robin saw the looks of fear and panic in both the archer and speedsters eyes as they both looked like they were struggling to free themselves from what looked like a black malleable substance that had covered both of their throats and had spread under the surrounding skin giving the appearance of black veins that was slowly starting to spread up towards their jaw lines.

Looking down at his feet Robin saw that the same black substance had been responsible for his capture as the blackness that had looked thin and long start to get fatter and wider as it spread up his leg.

The sounds of foot step snapped the boy wonder's neck upward as he saw a human like creature slowly walk towards him stopping just by Kaldur's still restless body.

The creature as that was the best way to describe it was humanoid in shape but lacked any sort of characteristic of features of any human or human like alien Robin had ever seen.

But what was even to most for lack of a better word freakiest part of the monster was a pale slender arm that seemed to be coming out from where the creature's mouth would be if it were a real human.

The monster then threw its head back as it raised its arms showing that it had spread those parts of its body to cover and control Artemis and Kid Flash. Robin had been too mesmerized on seeing the creature slowly swallow the pale arm down it's gullet to see where from the creature it was trapping him but watched on as the moment the creature finished consuming the limb it immediately looked back at him it's dark yellow pupilless eyes looking back it him in a predatory matter.

"C…..condemn me …mother!" both Artemis and Kid Flash harshly shouted out stuttering as they themselves were busy trying to fight the monster for control of their own bodies causing the words to come out a bit distorted form one another as it was so obvious that the creature was not only controlling them but using the poor heroes as a mere conduits for its own voice.

"For I know exactly what I do!" Were the last words Robin heard before the monster opened its whole body up and pounced on the teen hero consuming his world to darkness?
