Capítulo 347: 9
Chapter IX: Bereft.
Last Time.
Aqualad looked at him and nodded. "I'm here... 100%."
They nodded as the Team came up from the hall. "The Watchtower detected an immense power surge in the Bialyian desert."
Atlantic Ocean September 04, 00:16 UTC-2.
A man in a black armored suit with a manta-shaped head with two large red eyes stood in front of holo-screens with the hidden figures of the Light.
There are small tubes that connect from the back of the head to his shoulders. The hands of his suit are webbed with fins on each of his legs.
This is Black Manta, an enemy of Aquaman.
"I was unable to secure the objective. So I was forced to go with plan 'B'." He reported as the one in front of him spoke.
"You did well... Everything's falling into place." One of the men said with a chuckle before the screens went blank.
Now.
Bialya September 04, 00:16 EEST.
Miss Martian in her stealth outfit groaned as she sat up, and saw the desert. 'Katchhhhaa, s'nomoth… K'azzar M'gann? N'da M'arzz... Ah'lunzz… s'sess b'rakahzz… (Deep Breath) Hw'asheta! (Ohh, my head... Where am I? This can't be Mars... One moon… white sand... (Deep Breath) Oxygen!'
Looking around for a moment and collecting her bearings, she slapped her forehead. "Hello, Megan! You must be on Earth." She got up and started walking down the hill. "But how did I get to Earth? And why am I wearing this?" She asked before hissing in pain and held her head. "And why does my head hurt?"
She suddenly tripped and slid down to the bottom of the hill. 'Is this a dream?' She thought before something landed beside her, kicking up dust.
As the dust cleared, she saw Superboy panting. Looking at his shirt, she saw his 'S'. "I know that symbol. Are you Superman?" She asked as he growled, stood up, and tore his shirt off.
He attacked her, forcing her to fly in the air. He jumped up to her, and hit a force field she made sending them both to the ground. He jumped away as Miss Martian sighed, and brought her knees to her chest. 'Not a dream... A Nightmare.' She thought as she looked at Superboy's retreating form.
Bialya September 04, 05:00 EEST.
Naruto groaned as he sat up, and held his head. "What the hell hit me, a truck?" He asked before shaking his head.
'Some douche with mental powers attacked M'gann when she found what caused the power surge.' He heard Kurama's reply before groaning again.
'OK... So because we were all connected with the link. I'm guessing that the others were affected as well?'
'Yeah. They all walked off holding their heads... I was able to keep you from being affected. Except for the hangover. The guy said ' Psimon says..' Forget.'.'
Naruto sighed at that before replying. 'It sounds like Psimon. He's the only one I can think of that says 'Psimon says' before doing his mental attacks. I swear he needs new material since that has been getting old.' He suddenly heard a groan and someone speaking in Atlantian.
"Tula, LIHS-soh-meh… ah-gah-PAH-oh seh… Tula... dih-NA-meh-tha EH-tih ehn Atlantis sim-bih-OH-se… (Tula, please... I love you… Tula... we can still be together in Atlantis..)
He looked to his left, and saw an unconscious Aqualad mumbling, and sweating. "Crap... I should get him out of the sun." Going through hand signs, Naruto created a tall dome over them before making a door, and holes just under the ceiling.
Reaching into his coat, Naruto pulled out a scroll and looked through the seals he had.
"Let's see... Here we go. Saltwater. Glad I started keeping this in case of emergencies." He unsealed an I.V. and attached it to Aqualad's arm.
BOOM!
The ground shook as Naruto quickly got his bow out, and ran outside. "What the hell?"
looking outside, he saw Artemis fighting Wonder Girl in her stealth outfit. "Artemis!" He yelled having Artemis look at him.
"Na-Kage!" She ran to him with Wonder Girl flying after her.
'Kit. Remember, she has some of my chakra in her. I can give Donna back her memories.'
Naruto nodded as red chakra surrounded him. As Wonder Girl closed in, Naruto grabbed her as the chakra surrounded her also. "Easy honey." He said as she struggled, and glared at him.
"What's this 'honey' nonsense?" Artemis asked with a glare as Naruto sighed.
"I didn't mean it that way. She's mine, and Wonder Woman's daughter."
"WHAT!"
Naruto winced at her tone before she continued. "You two just started dating two weeks ago... How the hell do you have a..." She looked to Wonder Girl who was calming down. "A sixteen-year-old daughter?"
Naruto sighed, and explained about Cadmus, and the Team over the past six months. "OK, and we're here... Why?"
(Flashback.)
"The Watchtower detected an immense power surge in the Bialyian desert," Batman said bringing a map of Bialya with a red dot on it
Naruto walked up and continued. "We're going to find out what happened. Bialya is a rouge country run by Queen Bee." Naruto said bringing up a picture of a woman.
She is a slender, dark-skinned woman with dark blue eyes and long black hair, which she sports, pulled back with a golden diadem on her forehead. She's also wearing golden stinger-shaped earrings and an armband on her right forearm. She's wearing a strapless gray mini-skirt dress with black pants and high-heel boots. And around her shoulders, she dons a translucent pale blue veil.
"Queen Bee's country, as you know, isn't a part of the League charter. We'll need to maintain radio silence at all times."
(Flashback End.)
"We landed here last night and found a tent. M'gann went in to see what we were dealing with, and she was attacked by Psimon."
Artemis shivered at that. "That guy... Really?" Naruto nodded as the chakra disappeared.
"Yep."
Donna shakes her head before looking up. "… Dad?"
Naruto nodded as Donna hugged him.
"It's OK, baby girl." He said feeling her huff, making him chuckle.
"I hate that nickname."
Suddenly, they heard a scream. Naruto looked to his right and saw Starfire in her stealth outfit firing at Robin a few miles away. "Well... Does anyone else have déjà vu?"
With Kid Flash And Spoiler.
"Hey, beautiful... Wake up."
Spoiler woke up, to see Kid Flash smiling down at her in a shack.
"AAH!" She screamed getting up. "Who the hell are you?" She asked as Kid Flash smiled.
"I'm Kid Flash." He replied causing Spoiler to snort.
"No, you're not. He wears a yellow costume." She said pointing to his black suit. As Wally looked down, he scratched his head.
"Yeah not sure how I got in this... What about you? Ninja lover?"
Spoiler looked down and gasped. 'What the hell? I just drew this a few days ago... How did I get them already?' She thought before looking up. "I... Don't know. The last thing I remember was going to bed." Before anything could be said, they heard a whistle.
Kid quickly grabbed Spoiler and sped out just as a missile hits the shack.
BOOM!
"Thanks." Spoiler said as Kid smiled.
"No problem... Want to tell me your name?" Kid asked speeding away from the tanks following after them.
Miss Martian, Earlier.
Miss Martian was flying low to the ground with a smile on her face. 'I'm finally on Earth... I've wanted this for so long... Even if it's not exactly on TV.' She thought before stopping and setting into a meditative pose. 'But how did I get here?'
(Flashback.)
M'gann pulled out a tray of cookies as Naruto walked over to her. "Careful Naruto... They're hot."
Kid Flash sped over and took the cookie Naruto was reaching for. "Not as hot as you beautiful."
Spoiler and Artemis rolled their eyes at him. "Thanks, Wally that's... Sweet." M'gann said as he winked.
"Not as sweet as you, sugar."
Spoiler and Artemis smacked him in the back of the head. "Grow up." Suddenly, they heard Batman's voice from the speakers.
"Team report to the mission room."
(Flashback End.)
'I'm on a team! I have friends...' Miss Martian said gleefully before a small blush came over her cheeks. 'And a boy who might be...' She floated up and saw a dome in front of her a few miles away. "That may be something." She said before hearing Naruto's voice in her head.
"Miss Martian, can you read me?"
She nodded before replying. "Yes... Naruto?"
"So you have your memories back?"
She shook her head before replying. "No, the only thing I remember is giving cookies before a mission."
She caught up to Naruto, who was standing outside the dome. "Hey, Miss Martian. We could use your help."
As they walked to the dome, they suddenly saw attack drones fly by them low to the ground before seeing part of a tank fly to the drones.
"Well, there's Superboy at least," Naruto said before a red blur shot past him. "Wonder Girl wait!" Naruto yelled out before turning to the others. "Stay safe until Miss Martian, Wonder Girl, and I return." He dashed after Wonder Girl with Miss Martin flying after him.
As they caught up to the drones, Miss Martian slammed them together with her telekinesis and landed to see Kid Flash and Spoiler.
She floated down as Naruto, and Wonder Girl caught up. "Well, J'onn, the costume's familiar... Though it doesn't scream 'Manhunter'." Kid Flash said as Miss Martian smiled.
"You know uncle J'onn? Hello, Megan! Of course. You're Kid Flash, Wally." She said before turning her attention to Spoiler. "And you're Spoiler... Stephanie."
"Martian Manhunter's your uncle?" Kid asked before Spoiler looked over to him, and smirked.
"Your name is Wally?" She asked as his shoulders slumped.
Naruto walked over and spoke up. "OK, the others are just a mile back where we came from... Wonder Girl." Wonder Girl looked to Naruto as he continued.
"Come with us. Superboy will be fine. Besides, we'll need the entire team if we're going to calm him down." She opened her mouth to argue but Naruto raised a hand to stop her. "Like I said we'll need the whole team, and they won't help if they don't know how to fight."
She sighed before nodding. "OK, dad."
Later At Night, The Dome.
Naruto just finished explaining about their team for the last six months before Robin spoke up. "I remember Batman ordering radio silence. Do we work under him?" He asked as Kid snorted.
"Hey, how do you know we don't work under my mentor?" He asked hitting his logo with his thumb changing it back to yellow. "Whoa." He said as the others touched theirs with only Robin, and Artemis's not changing.
Spoiler sighed before speaking up. "We need our memories..." She looked to see Kid Flash still pushing his logo. "Quit touching yourself!"
Naruto groaned at that, "First... Don't say that again. Second, M'gann here can give us our memories back." Suddenly, everyone round themselves in a dark room with broken glass fragments showing everything that happened over the last six months.
"You're going to go through our heads?" Spoiler asked a little worried before Naruto spoke up.
"Don't worry... She'll just show us the last six months, and only that."
Transparent hands came from M'gann as everyone saw everything that happened in the last six months including landing in Bialya.
"That's the last we remember. Aqualad is still unconscious so we can't get anything from him yet." M'gann said before grabbing her head, and seeing Superboy being shocked as a sphere in front of him was spinning. "Superboy's in trouble!" She said and was about to fly until Naruto grabbed her.
"Wait. Wonder Girl, and I will go with you. Wonder Girl can fight Superboy if you can't get to him fast enough, and I can help with Psimon."
"Everyone else. Stay with Aqualad since you're out of energy and supplies. I'll leave some clones to help you if you need them. When it's safe to head back the Bio-Ship."
Nodding, Naruto created several clones before running out with the girls following after. Miss Martian wet invisible as Naruto used a Genjutsu (Illusion Technique) to hide him and Wonder Girl. Miss Martian reached for a keyboard in front of Superboy and turned off the current before hearing a voice.
"Psimon says... Forget."
Naruto cursed looking to see a man. "Psimon."
Psimon is a pale bald man. His brain is visible through a clear dome over it, with some strips of skin over the dome. Three red lines are seen on each of his cheeks. He's wearing a grey trench coat with a hood that's pulled down. Beneath the coat, he has a black shirt and grey pants.
"Wonder Girl... Keep Superboy from doing any damage as I help Miss Martian."
He walked over as the sphere broke out, and ran over to Wonder Girl, who stopped it from breaking Superboy's restraints, who was struggling. Naruto grabs Miss Martian's hand, and suddenly went inside her mind where he saw Mars with M'gann facing Psimon who walked up to her.
"You're here!" M'gann exclaimed as Psimon scoffed.
"Oh please! He's supposed to help you?"
Naruto smiled maliciously before pointing up. "Nope... But he will."
Two giant red fox paws suddenly stomped down beside Naruto and M'gann. Psimon looked up and saw a large red fox with red slitted eyes, and nine tails growling at him.
"Hello... Appetizer." Kurama said before coming down, and clamping his jaws on Psimon's form.
Outside a small tornado picked up, sending Psimon flying away before it stopped, and M'gann fell in Naruto's arms.
They looked at each other before they leaned in.
"Ahem."
They looked up and saw Wonder Girl with Superboy still struggling in his restraints. "Can you fix him first?"
After fixing Superboy's memories, Miss Martian turned to Naruto. "What was that fox that helped us out?"
Naruto sighed before rubbing the back of his neck. "Kurama... He's a friend of mine, I'll explain everything at the cave tomorrow." She nodded as they flew back to the ship.
Qurac, September 5, 2:32 EEST.
The Team is in the Bio-ship watching over Aqualad before hearing M'gann's voice.
"Hey Everyone we've got Superboy. He's back to normal."
They all smiled before Aqualad shot up.
"Who are you? How did I get here?" He asked before Artemis pushed him back down. "Hello, Megan! Aqualad's still doesn't have his memories. I knew I forgot something."
Kid Flash hits the panel he's looking at before speaking through the link.
"I did too. No souvenir..." M'gann chuckled before replying. "No worries. We've got that covered."
Unknown Location.
Psimon was explaining how the team stole the sphere to the Light. "The Martian Girl escaped with both the sphere and the Superboy."
The figure on his right spoke up In a female's voice. "That hardly matters. What matters is the successful test of our new partners delivery system." She brought up a video of the sphere being delivered by a yellow-lighted webbed tunnel.
"Soon even greater tech. will come. Ones that will put the sphere, and even Superboy... To shame." She finished making Psimon smirk before remembering something.
"Oh yeah... Kage has... A very strong being inside his mind." He started to explain before shivering. "It... Put out similar energy as Klarion... But on a whole other scale." He finished having each person look down in thought.
Gotham; Naruto's Penthouse, September 5, 17:00 EDT.
The door opened as Naruto, Artemis, Stephanie, and Donna walked through. "I've got an extra bed set up with the girls for you Donna," Naruto said before Paula walked in.
"So... You're finally spending the night Donna. I thought I would never see you again after the carnival." Naruto rolled his eyes before walking to his room.
"You're so dramatic Paula." Paula smiled as the girls walked to their rooms.
"Aww come on Naruto… I still want baby grandkids to spoil." She said having Artemis stop just outside her room.
"MOM!" She yelled as Paula laughed going into her room.
