Fusion of Forces: Remnant's Maelstrom

As the two teams entered into the main entrance way to the arena, the group of teens stopped as the fighter's entrance was separate from the one for the audience.

Slinging an arm around her fellow blond's shoulder, Yang grinned as she gave Naruto a little pep talk, "Kick that jerk-face's ass Foxy!"

Well a Yang version of a pep talk at least.

Having said her peace, Yang moved aside only to be replaced by her younger sister.

"Kick his butt Naruto! We'll be cheering you on the whole time!"

These kids truly were wordsmiths of the highest calibre.

Weiss decided to throw in her own two cents to the conversation, "Don't be too much of an idiot."

Ah yes, a speech that would motivate even the laziest of bums. Weiss truly used her high class upbringing to craft such words of vigor and inspiration.

Blake only offered a nod, though if one looked closely they could see the hidden glee in her amber eyes. She usually didn't condone violence as a solution to a problem, but even she had to agree that Cardin needed a good ass kicking and who better to give it to him than blond most thought of as only a childish joker.

She wondered if it was too late to run back to her room to grab a camera. The look on Cardin's face would be priceless.

As team RWBY left to take their front row seats, Naruto's own team decided it would be a good time to give their own speeches.

"Break his legs!"

One could always count on Nora to be the one to give such eloquent and noteworthy speeches. A voice and mind that only came every generation.

Ren offered a nod before turning to take his seat with Nora.

Left alone, Naruto and Pyrrha were silent for a few moments, Naruto still trying to understand how he ended up with the strange ones as friends and Pyrrha trying to think of what to say to her captain and close friend to really motivate him.

Of course most people would agree that with Pyrrha being as attractive as she was and Naruto being a teen male, such a task wasn't really that hard and may not even require words if done right. Then again for comedy's sake we must drag as many awkward and hilarious moment out of Naruto and Pyrrha's relationship as was possible before moving to such a stage.

Nonetheless it wasn't long before the attractive red head of team NNPR decided on a course of action.

Naruto was caught off guard when Pyrrha hugged him, saying a quick, "Good luck," before letting go and smiling at him.

Naruto offered his own smile before replying with a, "Thanks."

It was Pyrrha's turn to be surprised when Kurama leapt from Naruto's shoulders to hers.

"I won't need his help and the lazy bum would rather just sit and watch the fight," Naruto explained.

'Please, that shy Hyuuga girl could have beaten that fool with little problems. Me staying with you would only disturb my nap time. Wake me when you're done toying with that pitiful ningen (human).'

Pyrrha laughed before reaching her hand to Kurama's head, running her fingers gently through the soft fur around his ears and brow.

With one last wave the red head left to join the rest of their friends in the stands.

As Naruto made his way to finally enter the arena and start his fight, he was once more stopped from doing so, this time by a group of four that he had never seen before.

The one in front, a girl a year or so older than Naruto dressed in a combination of blacks and browns, her eyes hidden behind a pair of sunglasses and a hat covering the top portion of her brown hair, was the one to first speak.

"Hey! You're Naruto Uzumaki right?"

Despite being a little put off by the appearance of these random, to Naruto, people, the blond haired Uzumaki nodded.

The apparent leader of the team continued her speech, "We're Team CFVY (Coffee) and this is Velvet," here the young woman gestured to the only other female member of the team, a shy looking thing with rabbit ears that marked her as a Faunus. Naruto recognized her as the girl Cardin had been bullying in the first place

Continuing on the still unnamed leader kept talking, "We just wanted to say thanks. Velvet usually doesn't like to stand up for herself and so we usually are there to make sure people like that ass-hat Winchester don't mess with her. Unfortunately we weren't there, but we heard that you at least tried to step in to help her and for that we'd like to thank you Whiskers."

Naruto chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head, "It was no big deal. I hate people like Cardin and I thought he needed some help with taking that stick out of his ass."

The older teen laughed while the other members of her team cracked a smile, Velvet trying and failing to hide her giggles behind her hand.

"You know what? I like you Whiskers. You actually got a pair on you, unlike most of these pansies. Give that bastard Cardin a good one for us yeah?"

Without a word more, team CFVY made their exit, leaving Naruto to ponder on the strange events and people that seemed to gravitate towards him.

'I swear that girl reminded me way too much of Anko-sensei. God I hope she doesn't have a thing for my blood!'

Naruto couldn't help but to shudder at the memory of a certain purple haired Jounin who took great pleasure in teasing him whenever she got the chance.

Pushing those unpleasant, or pleasant depending on who you asked, memories aside, Naruto turned to face the entrance way that stood between him and Cardin.

With a vulpine grin stretching across his whiskered face, Naruto began to walk, confidently striding towards his target.

Cardin Winchester had no idea that he was dealing with Naruto Uzumaki, crowned Prankster King of Konoha.
