Chapter 3: Escape from Cadmus, start of a team
I don't own Naruto or Young Justice, they belong to Masashi Kishimoto an DC comics respectively. Sorry for it taking so long for me to update, but I've been extremely busy with finals for my school, and since all my teachers suck a whole lot of ass, I also had a project for almost all my classes as well. ANYWAY, I still don't really know where this story is going exactly, though I have ideas, but to the people who think that just because I said advice is accepted, that I'm just going to drop everything that I have planned for this story just to make you happy, you are sadly mistaken. To the guest who left a review thinking that I wouldn't read it, I thank you for your feedback and your politeness, as I have read every review that has been posted to this story. About the whole pairing thing, I'm still not sure if I am going to make it into a harem, but the thing with the guy x guy pairing, while I am not against it gay people, I personally don't like reading stories like that, so I don't think that is going to be an option for this story, as I stated in the first chapter or the prologue, can't really remember which it was.
Before I do anything though, I would like to thank KingSora3 for all the positive support and ideas that he has helped me with, he has helped a lot with some of the ideas that I have with this fic.
ANYWAY, ON WITH THE STORY

As the man fell upon the group, a G-troll yelled out in pain as its spine was shattered at the base. Another one of the G-trolls shouted out and tried to hit the blonde man, but only hit the air, as the blonde had jumped again into the center of a group of G-elves and started viciously attacking them. One was sent into the wall, while another had its rib-cage shattered, while a third was sent all the way down the hallway, breaking through a door revealing a set of stairs. The rest of the G-elves all stared in fear at the man and soon ran away, before with a yell he jumped at them, only to be intercepted by the fist of a G-troll sending him into a wall. The man gave a grunt of pain, before he glared at the G-troll and jumped up with a roar of fury, smashing his fist into its face, shattering its jaw and killing it.
The group of heroes stared at this happening in shock, before robin saw the open door and yelled out.
"Look, this is our chance, let's go!" he said while trying to get his friends to move to the door.
"That is not who we are Robin, we are not going to abandon him here." Firmly stated Kaldur with a serious look on his face.
"Are you kidding me!? That guy's practically feral and you want to help him!?" Robin yelled back.
"I'm with rob on this one Aqualad, helping him doesn't seem to be in are best interests. You know, concerning are health and all." Said Kid Flash.
"It doesn't matter, we are helping him." Firmly stated Kaldur.
Throughout the conversation, superboy just continued staring at the fight. Before the other 3 members of the group could continue with their argument, superboy tightened his muscles and jumped into the middle of the fight, tackling a G-troll into a wall and hammering away at its chest. The other 3 looked at each other before Robin sighed and said.
"Alright, let's get this over with."
Before the three of them nodded at each other and started attacking the remaining G-elves.
Now, the fight had all but died down, with the last enemy being the final G-troll that the man was punching into the ground. When he finally stopped, the four other teenagers saw his sharp features slowly smoothing out. His hair, previously as sharp as needles slowly softened and grew smoother giving a more natural look, and his eyes, which at some point had turned crimson, slowly faded back into blue. The whiskers on his cheeks thinned and the claws on his fingers dulled and shrank, soon becoming nails. The man panted before he slowly looked around at his surrounding and noticed the heroes.
His expression hardened before he rapidly demanded questions.
"Who are you, where am I, why am I here, why are you here."
Kaldur quickly intervened as he held us his hands stating, "We mean you no harm, we only want to help. As for who we are, my name is Aqualad, and they are Robin, Kid Flash, and Superboy. You are in project CADMUS, we don't know why you are here, and we are here because we came to investigate this facility. Not that we have answered your questions, I have one for you, who are you?"
The man looked confused and shocked for a moment before he replied, "My name is Uzumaki Naruto."
The three heroes plus one clone looked at each other before they looked back to him and Kaldur said, "Come with us and we can help you escape."
Naruto looked at the oddly before he decided, "Alright, but if you're lying, don't think you're going to be able to take me down without a fight."
"Wouldn't even dream of it." Stated Kaldur.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hurry, this way!" yelled Kaldur to the others as they burst from the stairwell two floors up from their previous position.
As they ran they were being chased by guardian, along with a group of Genemorphs. They ran down the hall and took a right and saw an elevator, which Kaldur and Superboy quickly tore open. Robin shot his line up while Naruto jumped to the wall where he started running up. Superboy quickly grabbed Kaldur and KF before he jumped and sailed through the air, only to start to plummet about 60 feet up.
"What?" said superboy in a shocked voice before suddenly robin threw one of his birdarangs into the wall of the elevator shaft, which Kaldur caught onto and held them up with.
"Superman can fly, why can't I fly?" said Superboy in a disappointed and confused tone.
"Dude, it looks like you can still jump over small buildings, which is still cool." Said KF
"Thank you." Stated Superboy.
"Uh, guys, hate to break this up, but this is going to have to be are stop." Said Robin as they all looked up and saw an elevator coming right for them.
"What the hell is that?" questioned Naruto as he stared at it in confusion.
Kaldur quickly jumped over to the elevator shaft doors after setting Superboy and KF on the edge, and tore them open.
"Come on!" he shouted to his companions
They all jumped out of the shaft with Naruto being last.
Naruto quickly turned around and yelled out in amazement, "Whoa, what was that!?"
"Um, dude, that was just an elevator." Said KF
Before Naruto could reply, Kaldur quickly broke up their conversation, "Enough talking, we need to move before they catch up to us."
They all quickly moved down the hallway, when Superboy heard a voice in his head, "Go left brother."
"Left, go left." He quickly stated before the four heroes complied.
"Go right brother."
"Right, right!" he repeatedly shouted/
As they rounded the corner they came to a dead end with a single vent.
"Great directions Supes, this is a dead end!" said KF
"But, I thought…." Superboy said in confusion.
"Why are you getting mad, this is perfect." Said the boy wonder as he quickly opened the vent and crawled in, with the others following him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Come on this way" said Robin
"Shhhhh, do you hear that?" asked Naruto.
"Yeah." Replied Superboy
"What are you guys talking abo- "tried to say KF before he was interrupted by the sound of hissing and claws scraping against metal.
"Right, let's go." Gulped KF
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hurry up, they're in the vents. While Robin might have hacked the cameras, he neglected to hack the motion sensors. They should come out of this vent any second now." Stated Dr. Desmond.
The beeping on his tablet intensified before the vent burst open and a group of G-elves fell directly on top of Desmond and Guardian.
Desmond glared angrily at the wall as he simply stated, "He hacked the motion sensors."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I hacked the motion sensors." Robin stated smugly as his holo-computer turned off.
"Dude, sweet!" said KF before they finally exited the vent and found another stairwell.
"Sweet, now I got room to move." Stated KF before he ran up the stairs, knocking dozens of G-trolls out of the way on his way up. The rest of the heroes quickly followed only to be chased by the G-elves.
"Superboy!" Kaldur yelled to Superboy, who quickly got the message and turned around to stomp his foot, causing the stairwell with all the G-elves to fall. He quickly caught up to the rest of the group, not noticing the questioning look that Naruto was sending his way.
The small group quickly left the stairwell while KF ran ahead, only to see the door leading to ground level closing. He ran faster in hopes of catching it, only to run right smack into it, as it closed just a second before he got their Kaldur, Superboy, and Naruto all tried to pull it open together, only to have no luck. Seriously, what was that door made of?
"Not so fast." Said Guardian as all the heroes turned around to see him with a group of Genemorphs ranging from G-gnomes to G-trolls, along with Dubilex.
"I'm afraid I can't let you leave." Said Guardian with a serious voice.
All the sudden, Guardian and the heroes felt a pulse go through their minds, making them all fall unconscious, excluding Naruto and Superboy, as they fell to their knees.
'What's happening Kurama!?' Naruto mentally yelled as he felt the pain go through his head.
"Someone is trying to enter your mind. My guess would be one of the strange creatures."
'Can you stop the pain?' Naruto questioned.
"Unfortunately, no, all I can do is reduce it. The telepath is strong, I can either block the pain with the risk of letting them in, or keep them out and reduce the pain so its bearable."
'Just reduce it then' Naruto said mentally while gritting his teeth before the pain stopped all together.
'What the hell Kurama!? I thought you said it would let them in If you stopped the pain!?'
"I didn't do anything; the telepath must have stopped."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Moments before with superboy
'Rrgh, what's happening?" questioned superboy right before the pain stopped for him. He glanced around and noticed that everyone else was unconscious, except there new addition, but it was easy to tell he was in a lot of pain.
'My apologies, I did not wish to hurt you. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Dubilex." Said the voice, as Superboy looked up to see a creature with bluish-purple skin step forward and put a hand to its chest.
"What did you do to them?" questioned Superboy out loud.
'I merely put them into unconsciousness, though the child resisting is an anomaly, something I hadn't planned." Mentally said Dubilex.
'Why did you do that?" Superboy questioned through his mind.
'So that they didn't interfere. You Superboy, are our brother, a Genemorph created by Cadmus, just like me and all the other creatures before you.' Dubilex said while gesturing to all the other Genemorphs.
'You are our hope Superboy. You are the Genemorph hero, you give hope to all of us that one day we will be treated fairly and like living beings. You brother, have a choice. A choice to be free and save us all, so what will it be?' questioned Dubilex while standing in front of all the Genemorphs, as they stared at Superboy.
"I. Choose. Freedom." Said Superboy as he stood up, gaining a nod from Dubilex, who took a step back.
Suddenly all the others started to wake up.
"Feels like a fog, lifting." Guardian tiredly said as he gripped his head.
"Uh, anybody catch the number of the train that hit me?" said KF.
"Not so fast." Said Desmond as everybody looked over to see him holding a blue vile, "With project Blockbuster, I can return order to CADMUS." He said before he drank it.
Desmond quickly gripped his held while grunting in pain. Before the heroes' eyes, Desmond was transforming, gaining muscle mass, and growing in height. His skin was bursting apart, showing solid blue flesh. When the transformation was over, Desmond was now well over 8 feet tall, with skin hanging off his body everywhere.
"Stand back, I'll take care of this." Said Guardian as he rushed the creature, only to be slapped into a wall and falling unconscious.
Superboy quickly rushed in and punched him, causing the creature to stumble while Superboy threw several more punches, only for one of them to get caught. This allowed Desmond to wrap up Superboy in his arms before jumping through the ceiling with him. The rest of the team quickly followed to see Desmond punching Superboy in the face, pushing him back.
The others quickly jumped in in hopes of helping. Robin was the first to attack, throwing several explosive birdarangs, only to see that they weren't phasing him. Kaldur pulled out his water bearers and formed to spiked maces, hitting Desmond with them in the face several times, causing the monster to roar out in pain. KF ran around him, creating a small twister lifting the monster into the air, where Naruto quickly came down on him with a swirling mass of energy.
"Rasengan!" Naruto yelled out as he smashed the orb into blockbusters stomach.
The monster now had the skin on his stomach completely torn off, with the flesh being torn apart and dripping blood as well. Everyone else looked on in shock, until Blockbuster got up and let out a roar of rage before he attacked them with a renewed vengeance.
"Nothing is phasing this guy! Dammit, we need to do something else." Robin said while gritting his teeth, before he saw Naruto smash blockbuster into one of the support columns, causing the entire building to shake. "That's it!" Robin exclaimed.
"KF, Kaldur, I think I know how to beat him." Robin yelled out, gaining everyone's attention. The two he called quickly rushed over, as Superboy and Naruto continued attacking the creature.
"What you got Rob, and preferably say it fast, because I don't want to die." Said KF looking at Robin nervously.
"We need to take out the main columns around the building. I think dropping this place on his head might take him down." Robin said with a grin.
"Which columns?" Kaldur said seriously.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"TAKE THIS!" yelled Naruto as he punched Blockbuster in the face sending the monster on its back.
Superboy let out a yell as he pounced on blockbuster, only to be punched into the ceiling Causing the building to shake.
KF quickly ran up to Naruto who was about to charge blockbuster, "WAIT!"
Naruto quickly looked over confused.
"We know how to beat him." KF said with a confident face, "Get him destroying that column, that one, that one, and this one." KF quickly said pointing them out.
"Got it." Said Naruto with a serious face, right before he turned around and punched the column, destroying it. This caused the entire building to shake and debris to fall, almost hitting Kid Flash.
"HEY, WATCH IT!" KF shouted at Naruto in panic as he dodged the debris.
"He-he, sorry." Naruto said with a sheepish smile while scratching the back of his neck.
They heard a roar and several explosions as the building continued to shake and looked over as more debris fell to see blockbuster in front of a water puddle.
"KF! Do it now!"
"Learned this one in Kindergarten" Kid Flash said as he quickly ran and got on his hands and knees right behind blockbuster as Superboy punched him back. This caused the monster to fall on his back into the puddle of water.
"Now Kaldur!" Robin yelled at Kaldur who quickly put his hands into the water, shocking Blockbuster who roared out in pain.
Robin quickly threw explosives at the last two columns, causing the building to fall.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
CRUSH, CRASH!
Echoed through the night air as Superboy, Kaldur, and Naruto lifted several tons off the group of heroes. They all looked a little to the left to see Blockbuster unconscious under a large pile of debris.
"All right!" celebrated KF and Robin as they high-fived only to quickly grab their sides and groan in pain. KF noticed Superboy staring into the night sky before going up to him and saying, "Look, it's the moon." Superboy continued staring at the celestial being hanging in the sky, before he narrowed his eyes as he saw a silhouette. They quickly widened as he saw it was Superman.
KF quickly shouted, gaining the others attention including Naruto own, who stared on curiously. "LOOK! Its Superman. Do we keep our promises or what?" Naruto saw a man wearing red and blue come floating down above the ground, before many others came as well. Some stood above them on the debris, while others, a man dressed like a bat and a man in solid red with a lightning bolt on his chest for example, who were now walking forward, were put down in a green bubble that was made from a-a-A RING!? SERIOUSLY!?
'What the heck is that and where can I get one?' Naruto jokingly said in his mind.
"No idea, but it is interesting." Said Kurama before they finally tuned in on the conversation the mad in the bat suit was having with the teenagers who saved him.
"All results aside, we are not happy. You disobeyed direct orders and hacked Justice League systems. This will not be happening again."
Robin quickly grew frustrated, "But we're doing what you taught us to do, and instead of treating us like partners, you're treating us like-like sidekicks!" he shouted.
"Indeed." Kaldur quickly agreed.
"Stand down Aqualad." Ordered Aquaman.
Aqualad looked down a little at the ground and said, "I'm sorry my king, but no." and looked up to see Aquaman raise an eyebrow in surprise before continuing. "We forged something powerful tonight, using what you taught us, all three of us."
KF quickly came up and wrapped his arms around their shoulders, "The five of us."
Superboy quickly stepped forward and said, "Why let them tell us what to do, it's either get on board, or get out of our way." With a fierce glare.
Seeing all of them standing together, Naruto quickly made his decision.
"Why the fuck are you guys wearing underwear on the outside of you pants?"
