Ryuusei no Naruto
Disclaimer and the Author's Note: I do not own the Rockman series or Naruto, the worlds of the Rockman series or Naruto, or any and all official characters, names, places, ECT from the Rockman series and Naruto series itself. Masashi Kishimoto is the creator and author of the popular manga and anime Naruto. The owners of the very popular Rockman franchise are owned by the company of Capcom, and Keiji Inafune (the man who has worked on almost all the Rockman games known to date). All I own are original characters that pop up, original-named jutsus or Battle Cards, and most of the Denpa Henkan transformations for the nine Jinchuuriki in the fic. This is an alternative side to a Megaman Crossover with Naruto, opposite of Denpa Henkan! Uzumaki Naruto! On Air! which had since been erased due to not being a good launch.
The Start of the Plot
"So, this is what you wish for, human?" the God of Death spoke in his commanding tone.
"Yes, to save my village that I love..." Minato whispered, cradling his son who was going to become the Sandaime Jinchuuriki.
"Hm..." The holder of death felt a brand disturbance form the creature before him, before it frowned, "so, this is why chaos has been wrought, Pyrus."
The god swung his hand, releasing a mist of white and it shrouded the fox, making it scream in pain before its roars died.
"To think that the nine guardian Admins of this planet are resorted to weapons of war... nonetheless... you shall make a great aspect with this child... Kyuubi Pyrus... if you hear me, guide the child... I can feel that your great disruption of your data is the cause of another being. One of pure darkness like HER."
Confused by what the god was speaking of, Minato had no time to ask when he felt a foreign power enter his body. And then, a blinding white filled his vision.
"Know that what you did shall either tip this planet into destruction, or into salvation when The Great One is released from its prison, and the battle of the galaxy begins, human... you believe I take your soul for summoning me, but you are wrong... but for now, be gone."
When the blinding flash had finally vanished, allowing ever other ninja still standing to see clearly, Minato was gone, as was the Kyuubi. Runic marks had been burned covering half of baby Naruto's right arm from the hands, trailing around the wrist and forming a alien-like pattern on the forearm, and ending at the elbow with a ring and tri-pronged spike. The very seal that Minato beforehand marked on his son's stomach glowed brightly with red energy... Gamabunta, seeing both his former master, and the fox now totally gone, dispelled himself to heal his wounds.
Inside the seal, the God of Death stood there, floating with his black robes billowing under a mysterious wind. His entire matter of body was condensed with Z-Waves, a brilliant glow of purple, intermixed with red, and gray. The same energy within the mass of the flowing cloak had arms, where the energy fuses to glowing complex-designed silver shackles, where the hands are clad in black clawed gloves. Its lower face was covered by a white metal face mask construct, and the eyes glowed with a holy flame of blue. It wore a tomoe-shaped necklace around its neck, with a gray tombstone for a pendant hanging off the necklace. Topping the head was a gold skull-shaped crown, with a mass of white messy hair billowing back.
Before the god was a fox-like entity. The helmet of the strange creature resembled the Kyuubi's Real World form, but it looked more metal-like in colors of orange, yellow, and black lining around the eyes and along the mechanical ear tips. The head and face was completely human, feminine and of beauty. Its main body looked like condensed radiating chakra of a red-orange color. The upper torso is wrapped with smooth dark orange and white armor, slim but revealing that she had a decent bust size. Oval triangular-shaped armor protects the shoulders, embedded with orange gems. Similar material flowed down into a dress similar to Virgo, only in Pyrus's colors. It also had the same form of energy that made up its arms and clawed hands, and around what would be the wrists were armored bracelets; orange with a white stripe along the curved point going up the arms.
"You are I had seen the cloud that human with the orange mask used to somehow disrupt your internal data... however, Pyrus... I have seen that you shall make the perfect guardian."
Kyuubi looked up at the EM God of Death. "Why? You and your sisters have seen what has happened to us Nine Admins of the Planet, right? We have been treated as weapons of war, captured and subjugated by those that stole and incorporated the powers left by that man and his mimetic legacy. Through human wars, we have been forced into humans that die when infused with our energies, or tormented into eventual insanity only to be used to slaughter other humans in power-hungry struggles..."
"I know... We have seen what you have been put through by the human clan that wielded the strange power to subdue you all... you and this child have a great future... but only if you can survive... do all you can to protect the hero... as Jinchuuriki, they - if they survive - can Denpa Henkan... they will be needed for when she emerges if those humans should ever destroy its seal."
Before the god vanished, leaving Pyrus alone, he spoke one last cryptic message. "With the nine Admins now sealed by human hands, all Jinchuuriki must fight and stand up to defend as one, or be destroyed by war and hatred. Beware the enemy Life Forms that will arrive..."
The fox-like EM Life Form sighs, and prepares for the next couple of years of silence, while her now new host, sleeps, unaware. "I wonder what's been happening on AM and FM..."
The Nine Admins of Planet Furya: Ichibi Shukaku, Nibi Matatabi, Sanbi Isobu, Yonbi Son Gokū, Gobi Kokuō, Rokubi Saiken, Nanabi Chōmei, Hachibi Gyūki, and herself, Kyuubi Pyrus, were once mere guardians assigned a great task by the Admins of Planet AM: Pegasus Magic, Leo Kingdom, and Dragon Sky, and King Cepheus of Planet FM (long before his paranoia and betrayal by Gemini) with the sealing of the Great One that the EM God of Death spoke of: Juubi Solaris.
Solaris was a great being with once bright intelligence, respect, power of mind and body, peace, and at one time, was part of their group. Until one day, she went irregular. She grew obsessed with knowledge, and scouring the entire galaxy for knowledge, absorbed both the good and the bad. It was the knowledge of war that brought her into fallen deity, and thus began her conquest for power. And after a war that nearly killed them all, had finally been imprisoned with the help of a human on Furya who was ironically a direct descendant of the land called Mu on Planet Earth. The man, simply referred to as the Rikudō Kōkennin (Guardian of the Six Paths), used the knowledge of Mu and of his dead clan, to generate what was essentially, the planet's moon. Using the celestial body and the moon's powerful inner core, Solaris was trapped deep within the moon, the man sacrificing his very body in order to empower the seal with his energy. Even with the Rikudō Kōkennin's Seal, it was not enough, so the Nine Admins of Furya were ordered to empower the seal with their own nine-lock protection. Otherwise, had they not, she simply would have overwhelmed the Rikudō Kōkennin, and delete the Murian of the Shinobi Clan. However, now that it seems all nine of them had been transformed into war weapons by the humans of Planet Furya, it would only be a matter of time until their Nine Elemental Seals shattered. And she feared Juubi Solaris's rebirth from her moon prison and elimination of all life on Furya, and then the galaxy.
Outside the mindscape, baby Naruto had since been asleep. Only the few that had absolute faith in Minato's brilliance guarded the child under the Sandaime's orders. No one saw the glow on the seal slowly fade, before the seal on the stomach vanish revealing perfect healthy skin. Only the birth marks on his cheeks and the strange arm tattoo remain.

Over the years as Naruto grew up, only few cared for him; the two people who run the ramen stand, the Sandaime Hokage, the man who wore the Inu mask during his younger years, and to an extent, his sensei Iruka. Today however another eventful day is occurring starting with ANBU scouring the village for Naruto as he had just pulled off yet another prank upon the headquarters of ANBU... and Naruto was also skipping class. High above on the Wave Roads of Konoha, Naruto watched the masked ninjas look all over for him in what would have been "good hiding places".
"Idiots, they can never look in the one place no one will ever have the ability to explore," thirteen year old Uzumaki Naruto whispers.
He was clad in a full-on black bodysuit with the arms white. Metal-like cylindrical armor encased around the legs with an orange ring around the ankles. It was mostly black, with orange teardrop-shaped boosters on the outside of the legs. The feet were crafted in design with orange and white hues to resemble a fox's foot. The knees were protected by a gunmetal gray plate with the etching of a fox face on it, bolted into the orange ring on the top of the leg armor. Similar armor made up the armor that protected his left wrist and forearm, with black and white-fingered gloves. Protecting the elbow was a triangular white and orange jewel-embedded guard connected to the rings by the elbow. However, the right arm was a copy of the battle arm worn by Gemini Spark with the difference is the fingers were fox claws, and the battle arm was gleaming silver. The left shoulder was clad in a large gauntlet shaped like a fox's top part of the skull. Metal-engraved with gold whisker-like lines that criss-cross around the upper arm like ring binders. The intricately-designed shoulder gauntlet was mainly ruby red, with three upward gold spikes. The eyes were made of ruby.
The torso was wrapped with what resembled an orange and black, red-trimmed jacket that only left part of his lower bodysuit-covered stomach revealed. Three white rectangular plates keep the vest tightly closed. Around the waist was a white utility-like belt with a green rounded gem set in the center of the buckle. The right shoulder was protected by a triangular white pauldron, which has an embedded (along the top of the shoulder pad) an orange rectangular gemstone. The helmet was fin-styled, with the back of the helmet revealing his semi-long spiky hair, kissed-by-the-sun yellow. The helmet mostly was black, with the sides and top crests of the fins orange. His half-face visor that shielded his upper face and eyes was translucent light orange. The white leaf-shaped ear guards that protected them had antennas that protrude in a slanted manner; eerily the antennas resembled the Kyuubi's rabbit-like fox ears.
The second person standing on his right looked like a mirror reflection but with altered differences. Another notice is the second person was female so her torso armor was fitted for a female build with a noticeable bust size (easily a wonderful C-34 size). Unlike Naruto's chest armor, hers was fitted with an arrow-shaped crest, ruby red made of crystal just above her breasts; one can say it resembled a shooting star. Her left hand and arm was clad in the gauntlet worn on Naruto's right, except her gauntlet color was a shining gold. Unlike Naruto where his hair was semi-long, hers was long and of a desirable beauty, scarlet with vibrant highlights of purple. Her half-face visor was a blood red contrasting the orange that Naruto had, and behind the visor was that of beauty, eyes a vivid orange-red like living fire. Both of them shared one trait however: nine fox tails made of red-orange and white-crested metal (think of the nine tails as the tails on the reploid of said name from Megaman: Command Mission). Naruto's lowest tail flicker lazily as he looks over to Pyrus.
"Well... I had my fun, now what?"
"Take it like a man and return to the academy, skipper," the foxy EM Life Form replies with a saucy smile.
"Yeah right, I have better fun traveling the Wave Roads and going as far as the oceans near Nami no Kuni," Naruto offered his rebuttal to the fox girl.
Pyrus rolls her eyes. "Fine, Mr. I-Wanna-Be-Hokage, how about we brush up on your virus busting skills, so you won't forget how to fight off viruses tougher than Mettennas?"
She scanned the roads, until she saw a group of viruses marching towards Ichiraku Ramen, and she could see the intent of destruction rolling off them. She points to the group. "How about them?"
"Wha? Hey! They're heading towards Ichiraku!"
He rushes to chase after the viruses and Pyrus chuckles and follows her male battle twin. The viruses all took an Access Ramp which had beamed them into the Ramen Storage Container's CC. Naruto entered right after them, Pyrus quickly catching up.
"Stop right there, you fiends!"
The Mettennas turned their focus on Naruto now that he revealed himself.
"Met! Met!" they shouted, waving their pickaxes.
"Well, Naruto, looks like there's enough for a brush up lesson on Virus Busting... I'm going to sit this one out while you deal with them, seeing as how fond you are of Ichiraku Ramen."
"What? You're not going to help me?"
"No," she said, "sometimes, there are times when we get separated, and you'll have to face problems on your own if I am currently held up by business, like tough viruses blocking my way. Then again, if that happens, you won't be at the full strength we normally are when battling as a Gemini."
"Fine..."
Naruto faces off as the Mettenna viruses group off and begin to attack Naruto.
"Now, what do you remember?"
The Mettennas each slam their axes into the ground, sending their homing shock waves at Naruto, who quickly blocked one attack using a Barrier card, and simply rolled to evade the second.
"There's a standard limit on how many Battle Cards one can carry before the load becomes too heavy to yield. And that each Battle Card goes into color groups. White and Yellow are Standard cards, where Yellow are Battle Cards with Offense or Defense abilities, and White cards are mostly those that give an edge such as Paralysis or increase of a card's overall power. Blue are Mega-class cards and are mostly for powerful cards, or summoning of a Ghost Data to attack. Red cards are Giga-class, and yield frightening power, and are mostly rare to collect or use."
"Good," Pyrus says cheerfully, "use shooter-type cards."
"Predation! Cannon!"
Naruto's battle gauntlet glows and forms a boxed barrel that was blue and white. He took aim and deleted one Mettenna.
"Cannon: Attack power of forty."
He uses another, and deletes the second virus. Three more now take stance and attack.
"Now, Sword cards," Pyrus says, "what are they?"
She quickly used an Aura Battlecard to shield herself from a stray attack. At their weak levels, the aura wouldn't even flinch or suffer integrity damage.
"Offensive weapons, mostly for close-quarters combat. Standard swords are Null element and have no advantage or disadvantage of elemental prowess. There are however other Sword-class cards which have an element such as Fire, Electric, Wind, Wood, Aqua, and some, while stronger, can also deal Breaking damage to shielded enemies."
He holds out his gauntlet arm, and forms a blade made of red-orange and yellow fire.
"Blaze Cutter!" He rushes in and sweeps a wide arc, sending one virus into deletion, and the fiery sonic boom released slices through the second. The third was lucky to have not been in the attack's path.
"What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of Sword-type cards?"
"In a heavy fight, if you lose your concentration, the enemy can easily strike you before you attack, and thus you lose your card's power in a flash. One advantage is speed. Targeting focus on an enemy can help if you are in an overwhelming situation, but only if you are careful," Naruto recited.
He reforms his battle arm and rushes in, using his clawed hand to damage the Mettenna. It kicks back with a quick shock wave that Naruto barely avoided. Forming the Fox Buster, he quickly charges and fires, deleting it. The final group emerges, and it was the last twelve, all taking up arms with their weapons. This time, Pyrus walks up next to Naruto, their gauntlets meeting.
"Final lesson, Naruto-kun," Pyrus speaks, "what are our capabilities?"
"Gemini Kitsune; Null Element; No weaknesses. Together we are capable of overwhelming our enemies with twin-styled fighting consisting of our Blaze Cutters, Fox Busters, fox claws if needed, and our unique Big Bang attacks. Hollow Fox Cannon has a drawback of energy discharge and knock-back upon use; element is dual Null/Breaking. And Nine Fragments is a nine-hit strike against a single enemy target; element is Sword."
"Special Combo Attacks?"
They had been dodging the attacks while in lecture mode, but Naruto and Pyrus both jump back, and grab one another's hands with their battle gauntlets. Sparks of energy race along the arms as an aura of red-orange surrounded them, taking the shape of a fox, but as quick as the fox-like aura appeared, it charges through their arms and a spiraling beam of flames rip through the half group of Mettennas.
"Gemini Pyro Twister," Naruto answers.
Then, while still grasping one another, they leap into the air and come down upon them in a drill-like fashion, "Foxfire Drill!" fiery-colored energy trailing around them as they crash and generate a rippling shock wave erasing more viruses. Quickly releasing and standing, both fighters summon their Blaze Cutters, dashing through the attacks they the viruses in a panicked state are releasing. The remaining viruses are sliced up into ribbons, leaving none alive.
"Well, I guess you do remember the lessons. Now if only you could apply those same things to your ninja career, skipper," Pyrus says.
"Hey, it's boring! How the hell am I going to defeat enemies if they teach about the history of Konoha? What am I going to do, lecture them to death?"
Pyrus sighs. "Let's go."
She walks off, and exits the CC. Naruto quickly followed after. Outside, Pyrus looks to the sun as it was in the position where classes at the Ninja Academy were being let out.
"Well, you seemingly evaded ANBU capture, if only because you Denpa Henkan to step onto the Radio Wave World, and succeeded in once again missing class. If you keep this up, you won't pass, and even if you do on a slim margin, you're be dead-last due to your shoddy grades."
"But I am awesome!"
"But not many people will even understand the TRUTH behind us Bijuu as your humans call us," Pyrus explained, "not to mention they'll think that you're being influenced by me and once again that bullshit will start up again. Remember, not many people on the planet even know what the Jinchuuriki really stand for, and it's not "power of human sacrifice" either."
Naruto's excitement died right there.
"No one would probably even understand the real threats that even loom high above them, sealed on that damn moon's cyber core..."
"Juubi Solaris, I know, Pyrus," Naruto whispered.
The female twin walks over and gives Naruto a friendly hug.
"Sorry for being tough on you, but you have to understand that. After all, you are not the only one out there. There are eight others who are Jinchuuriki and also have the potential to unlock the Denpa Henkan, and travel the Wave World just like you can."
"Oh!" Naruto just remembered. He somehow took out a small box with a bright red button on it, and presses it. Explosions littered the faces of the Hokage Monument, and random splotches of color and graffiti litter the faces... if it weren't for the graffiti, the colors on the mountain made the four faces appear "alive".
"Naruto!"
"What? I almost forgot about that!" He whined, before tossing the device lazily to one side, "I'm going to hunt for Battle Cards."
Pyrus just groans, before giving chase after the male twin of their fusion. As this happened, chaos befell Konoha due to the "defacing of the Hokage Monument." And still the ANBU cannot locate the whereabouts of Uzumaki Naruto.
Well... it's another Naruto x Megaman Starforce crossover... but it's much different from Denpa Henkan! Uzumaki Naruto! On Air!
In this story, the Nine Bijuu are separate beings believed to be chakra monsters split from the Juubi, but the Bijuu are really EM Life Forms, and the Juubi in this story of a fallen goddess sealed in the moon (it's similar to canon Juubi, but that's it, the moon prison thing). I got the name Solaris from the name of the operating system, and felt it was a fitting name for a female!Juubi. In fact, Kyuubi and Nibi are both female as well, and the rest are male gender.
There are a degree of differences, and for now, there will be more. Reviews are nice~
Chapter has been edited on April 25, 2011. Reason: changed the name of Pyrus's Big Bang attack from Nine Tails to Nine Fragments, based that it matches better to the attack used by Ninetails from Megaman X: Command Mission. Also gave Gemini Kitsune a second combo attack called Foxfire Drill, although in later chapters it could also be used separately; a double team = more damage.
Another edit on December 06, 2011 to replace the official naming of the seven-tailed beast according to Kishimoto's manga. It's now Nanabi, not Shichibi as I originally thought. Final edit on February 2, 2012: official names of the nine Bijuu will be used in the original ones previously selected, all except Kurama... sounds too manly so Kyuubi Pyrus remains and I don't feel like reverting Kyuubi back to the original male gender.
