Who else is hyped for Infinity War?!

The reason I'm publishing this again is because the site only got half of the document... so...

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm serious. The moment I realized I actually sent the unfinished version, I got mad at myself because of how that managed to actually slip past me.

Anyway, new story for you guys. Here ya go.

I know people are going to get salty over the fact that I'm combining two characters that don't really have any similarities to each other (Except for their parents being dead, and their dads being famous, lol). But I say fuck it. It's my story and I can do whatever the fuck I want with it.

So if any of you get mad that my Naruto isn't really "Naruto", the website's called for a reason.

This will mostly be a side-project, since I'm gonna focus on Hail To The King after publishing this.

Pairing is most likely going to be Weiss, but I'm leaning towards Blake for now.

Expect elements from Iron Man (duh).

If you guys want a theme song for this story, than just think of the Armored Adventures theme.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or RWBY. Each franchise belong to their respective owners.

Enjoy, the full chapter 1 of,

ARMORED HERO

"Did you had a good day, Miss Weiss?"

Pale blue eyes blinked, snapping out of a trance as a petite girl looked away from the window in her limousine, her white hair swaying as she switched her gaze to the back of a portly man driving the vehicle.

She straightened her white balero jacket, and flattened her skirt, her heels digging into the floor of her limousine.

"It was… an acceptable day, Klein." She told her butler honestly.

The middle aged man chuckled softly, his eye color shifting from brown, to yellow.

He was happy to hear that, knowing how overbearing her father was, add to the fact that she wanted to attend Beacon Academy, a school in Vale, instead in Atlas, only served to anger her father, resulting the man to devise a test for the girl.

He dearly hoped that Miss Weiss knew what she was doing.

But despite this, Klein smiled, proud of the girl for standing up for herself.

"I see, and where shall we go to then, Miss Weiss?"

Klein waited for a response from her, but he only heard silence.

"… Miss Weiss?" He tried again.

The portly butler furrowed his eyebrows, and he glanced back for a brief moment, catching a glimpse of Weiss staring back at the window, her eyes unfocused.

Worry filled the man's heart.

He knew how hard the girl wanted to get away from her home, to get away from the cold, pompous, and arrogant man that was her father, from the constant pressure as the Schnee heiress piling on her.

And recently, she would train day and night with Miss Winter any chance she could, pushing herself farther the moment her father announced his interest to keeping her here in Atlas, a month ago.

"Miss Weiss!"

The white haired girl snapped out of her daydream.

"Klein?"

She heard a sigh from the front.

"I know how nerve-racking your father's trial has put on you, but you can't help yourself if you constantly keep on thinking about it." He said.

"You need to relax, Lassie."

Weiss looked down, her eyes staring at her hands that rested on her lap. "Klein… It's just-"

"It is a lot of pressure, I know." Klein interrupted, "But you need to relax, Miss Weiss. Being tense the whole time will not help you in facing your father's test."

A chuckle escaped the man's lips, as it curled to a small smile.

"You wouldn't want having Mister Namikaze 'advising' you again, do you?"

From the back, Weiss' eye twitched at the mention of the name.

Naruto Namikaze.

The boy was similar to her, born into a family that supported Atlas' military power, only that her soon-to-be company supplied Atlas with dust mined from their quarry, to be used by various soldiers and huntsmen, and huntress around the Kingdom.

The Namikazes, on the other hand, manufactured highly powerful military weaponry that could even blow mountains to kingdom come, and obliterate Grimm on the spot.

Both of their families were highly respected throughout the Kingdoms of Remnant, so it was natural for them to have people who didn't see eye-to-eye with either of her, or Namikaze's family.

One group in particular, was the White Fang. A group filled with criminal Faunus who wanted to destroy everything that her, and what the Namikazes created. "For Peace." They said, "For Equality." They reasoned to the masses.

Excuses. All of it.

And they tried, by Oum, they tried, blowing up Schnee trains filled with Dust, sabotaging Namikaze weaponry, and even going as far as killing humans affiliated with either family.

And then came the Assassinations that shortly followed.

It was no secret that the White Fang were accused of Minato and Kushina Namikaze's deaths, a tragedy that hit their son, Naruto, hard, having to lose both of his parents at a young age. Add to the fact that he now had an entire company to run, Weiss could only imagine how stress-inducing it could be.

He was only seventeen! The same age as her, running a multi-million company tasked to supply the military with powerful weaponry, it was surprising to her that Naruto didn't have gray hairs by now.

Then again, he was always determined… add to the fact that almost every Atlas citizen that did not know the Namikaze CEO personally, only knowing the personality he had whenever he had to be in public.

Maybe that was the reason, she thought. From what the citizens of Atlas knew, Naruto Namikaze was the genius, studious, and charismatic CEO of Namikaze Industries.

However, she knew who Naruto Namikaze really was.

In the inside, Naruto was just someone shoved into the light just like her, to be constantly pressured to be perfect, to represent their families in their highest honor.

He was a kindred spirit.

But Naruto didn't care for that, he just did what he wanted; at least, that was what the public thought.

The boy was famous for throwing extravagant parties, not like the ones that her father forced her and Winter attend, no. But the ones where it was wild and flashy, if the stories were true.

He also drank alcohol, which did not help him in the slightest, given that he was also known to show up in meetings, drunk, in a business suit that looked like he just fought Beowolves with his bare hands.

This of course, slightly messed with the blonde's reputation, while half of Atlas, primarily the military and fellow companies see Namikaze as a fellow business man/rival, the other half view him as a delinquent, a playboy known for his rather crazy parties.

In reality, Naruto did all of this to distract himself.

From the stress.

From the repetitive request for more weaponry from General Ironwood himself.

From the annoyance of nosy reporters flocking to his face.

From… everything.

He drowned all of his sorrows in alcohol.

And she knew all of this.

She knew him since they were children.

Weiss saw him grow from the boy she would play with whenever his parents would visit, her only friend that didn't want her for her fame, money, or looks. Her one true companion when her father focused on the company, while her mother wasted away in their garden, drinking booze 24/7.

And now here he was. A contrast to who he was years ago, from a cheerful boy who would smile at a bad situation, who can cheer her up, by just saying a couple of words, and a friend who would go through anything for her.

To a playboy who drank alcohol, throw parties almost every week, and was now a rival in the business world she would soon be introduced to.

Weiss sighed, slightly slumping in her seat as she mulled her head over her inner crisis.

"Let's just… head for home, Klein." She ordered her butler, "I'm sure father would worry if I might stay out too late."

"Man… this is boring."

A sigh escaped a young man's lips, his hand curled into a fist that dug into his whiskered cheek as he looked out the window of the car he was in, desert sand, with a few dusty rocks jutting out here and there, as far as the eye could see.

"I feel so bored," He muttered to himself, blowing a golden lock that laid on the middle of his forehead.

Cerulean eyes glanced to side, an Atlesian soldier that sat beside him, his face hidden from view from within the helmet that all Altas military personnel wore.

"This is boring right?"

The Atlesian soldier briefly looked back at the teen, before his eyes immediately turned away in nervousness.

The young man sighed, his lips tugging down as he straightened his suit jacket's creases, before adjusting the orange tie around his neck.

Loud, music blared in the radio, which was the only sound that filled the militaristic car, aside from the wheels, and hums of the engine.

"I feel like you're driving me to a court-martial—this is crazy, what did I do?" The blonde asked.

He hummed, and switched his gaze from the window, to the soldier.

"I feel like you're going to pull over and snuff me." He accused.

Silence reigned.

"What? You're not allowed to talk?" The whiskered teen asked.

He snapped his fingers to gain the attention of the Atlesain soldier next to him, "Hey buddy."

Nervously, the man changed his gaze to the teen next to him.

"You can talk sir." He blurted out, tense as a board.

Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze gave the older man a look.

"Oh, I see how it is." He nodded, "So it's personal?"

"No, you intimidate them." A feminine voice explained from the driver's seat.

Naruto's eyebrows raised up in surprise, and he shifted slightly, taking a better look on the person driving.

"Good Oum, you're a woman." Naruto said, "With all that armor you're wearing, I honestly couldn't have called that." He admitted, turning to the soldier next to him, "I mean I'd apologize, but isn't that what we're going for here?" He joked.

The three Atlesian soldiers cracked smiles at the young CEO's humor as the jeep navigated through the desert path of Vacuo.

"I thought of you as a soldier at first." Naruto said bluntly.

"I'm an airman, usually working with the boys in the Bullheads back at Atlas." The woman corrected.

"Well, you actually have excellent bone structure," Naruto complimented, "I'm having a hard time not looking at you now—is that weird?" He asked, his face scrunching in mock-confusion.

The soldiers laughed heartedly.

Naruto seemed to smile at this, "Come on, it's okay to laugh!" The young man encouraged with a small chuckle of his own.

As the laughter died down, the soldier seated in front of him, turned around and faced him.

"Sir. I have a question."

"Shoot."

"Is it true that you're dating Weiss Schnee?" He asked, a slight nervous tone in his voice.

Naruto's eyebrow raised up in a questioning demeanor.

"That rumor's still up? Jeez, people have nothing to talk about these days." He rolled his eyes.

It was no surprise when he caught wind of the rumor, a rumor of him supposedly dating the heiress of the SDC. But it was a bit understandable, news outlets, and magazines, coupled with gossipers wanted something new and fresh to talk about.

And that included his love-life.

So, when the supposed 'real' news of him dating his childhood friend/potential rival, he was quick to shut it down. Normally, he would ignore it, knowing that it would eventually fade away, but he knew how Weiss would et if he didn't out-right say that they weren't dating.

Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned, especially if said woman was a Schnee and a known tsundere.

"Nope, sorry to disappoint, but that's a no." Naruto shook his head. "Anything else?"

The soldier beside him raised his hand.

Naruto's eyes looked at the soldier's raised appendage and looked back at his face dryly. "You're kidding with the hand up, right?"

"Is it cool if I take a picture with you?" He asked, ignoring the whiskered blonde's question.

"Yes, it's very cool." Naruto grinned, gaining a large smile from the man next to him as he grabbed his Scroll from his pocket and handed it to his fellow soldier in front of him.

The CEO looked at the soldier next to him, who was holding two fingers up.

"Please, no gang signs."

The soldier nodded, and lowered his hand.

"Nah, I'm kidding, throw it up." Naruto smirked, before he turned back to the Atlesian soldier holding the Scroll. "Yeah peace! I love peace! There'd be no huntsmen with peace."

The Scroll lit up in preparation.

Before an explosion sounded off.

The jeep that drove in front of them exploded, causing theirs to abruptly stop as the parts scattered around the Vacuo desert.

"Shit." Naruto summed up their collective thoughts.

Sounds of gunshots fired off, as screams were heard in the other car behind them.

"Contact, left!" The driver called out and loaded her weapon, opening the door and getting off.

It wasn't even a second before her head snapped back and she fell, dead on the spot.

The Atlesian soldier that held the Scroll dropped it as he grabbed his rifle. Just as he was about to leave, he turned to the other soldier with a stern face.

"Stay with Namikaze!"

The man nodded, and turned to the young teen.

"Stay down!"

"Hey! I can defend myself y'know!"

Even as he protested, Naruto begrudgingly lowered his head as the chaos outside started to get more violent.

Another gunshot rang out, and the soldier that stepped outside fell dead.

Naruto backed up in shock, as he patted his body, feeling for his Scroll.

The soldier next to him cursed, "Sonuvabitch!" He shouted and loaded his rifle, as he too, stepped out of the militaristic vehicle.

He looked back at the teen frantically, "Stay. Here!" He ordered, before started firing back.

From the window, Naruto caught a glimpse of a bloody symbol he was all too familiar with.

"White Fang…" He whispered.

Before he could do anything else, a loud 'bang!' sounded off to his side, and Naruto only saw the previous soldier sliding off the jeep, blood on the cracked window.

Cursing, the blonde pulled the door handle, and quickly opened it, running towards cover that took form of a rock.

As he hid behind it, Naruto glanced at the chaos around him, seeing as more soldiers lay dead before his eyes, while others critically injured.

A glint from a jeep caught his attention, and Naruto turned to inspect the object.

His weapon.

Standing up, the blonde made a bee-line towards the vehicle that held his weapon, making sure to use his aura to block as many bullets as he could.

His aura flickered as more and more bullets went his way.

He was so close!

'Just a few feet away-!'

An explosion destroyed the vehicle, knocking Naruto away, his weapon blasted to pieces.

He instantly stood up as he coughed up blood, a colored sheen glowed along the length of his body, a sign that his aura was depleted from the blast and bullets.

"For the Faunus!" A scream was heard from the surrounding area.

Thinking quickly, the teen slid away from the wreckage, and took cover behind another rock, his hands grabbing his Scroll as he did.

The sound of something impacting the dirt caught the blonde's attention, and he craned his head towards the object stiffly.

A missile, lodged in the sand, with crude painting of the Faunus extremist group on it.

Along with the words: "NAMIKAZE INDUSTRIES"

'Shit!'

He tried to get away from it.

Too late.

It exploded.

Naruto let out a sharp gasp as he laid on the sandy ground, rubble and rock, along with a few scraps of car parts scattered around him.

His ears kept on ringing, nullifying the sounds around him, as the chaos grew.

He looked at his dress shirt, slowly getting stained by a deep, crimson color.

His blood.

Slowly, he looked up to the sky.

Then, he saw white.

Weiss walked around the halls of the Schnee mansion in a leisure pace, her hands behind her back as her heels clicked on the marble floor of her home.

It was a nice day in Atlas, the sun was shining, and the weather seemed delightful during this time of year, and she took advantage of it, training at the court of her family's estate, from morning to afternoon.

Currently, she was taking a small break from her daily schedule, taking Klein's advice to heart as she walked around the estate with nothing to do.

Wasn't this the day the Idiot was supposed to come back from his little weapons demonstration of his?

Of course, by Idiot, she meant Naruto. Because despite all the genius he had, the boy was still the goof she met in her childhood years. Always the one who would prank her, or her father, on a daily basis.

'Why am I even thinking about him?' Weiss thought, 'Not like I care if he returns or not.' She gave a silent 'hmph' as she walked.

The tsundere is strong in this one.

She entered the living room, and sat down on the velvet couch in an elegant position, as she took hold of the remote and pointed it towards the large television that her family rarely used.

As she watched the various channels it offered, she ordered a few maids to bring her some tea to pass the time.

After a few minutes of channel surfing, Weiss deemed it a waste of her time to watch television, grabbing the remote and preparing to turn it off.

Before static consumed the screen.

The girl blinked in surprise.

Was the cable broken again?

Before she could question further, a new image entered the screen, displaying a group of people holding weapons, as their faces were hidden by Grimm masks, surrounding one person tied up to a chair, a sack on the person's face.

One man in particular was different from the rest, his hair red as two small bull horns poked out of his hair, dressed generally in black, holding a katana in one hand, as he sneered at the camera, his upper features hidden by a similar mask.

Behind them, was a banner containing a logo that Weiss hated with passion.

"White Fang." She said in distaste, her face set in an angry frown.

"Attention all people of Remnant." He said, pacing around the room, circling the bounded person.

'Is this being broadcasted around the whole Kingdom?'

"I bring you this message to inform you that, we, of the White Fang has been ignored for far too long." He began, Weiss watching in silence. "For years, our kind have been treated like dirt for the past years, used as your slaves to do your bidding, and tossed aside like trash." He spat out, his tone full of venom.

He suddenly chuckled, "And now, we're going to do the same."

The man walked towards the person in the middle, before he grabbed the sack harshly.

And yanked it off.

Revealing a bleeding and bruised Naruto Namikaze.

A shatter echoed on the walls,.

Weiss sat silent in shock, her hands falling to her lap, dropping the tea cup she held, not minding as the porcelain cup shattered on the floor, its contents oozing out.

"We have Namikaze Industries very own CEO in our grasp, Atlas' main supplier of weaponry for their military." He informed, as the whiskered blonde blinked at the sudden awakening.

Quickly, the Bull Faunus grabbed the whiskered teen by the hair harshly, forcing his head to face the camera, showing Remnant the blood and sweat on his face.

"Just as what you did to our kind, he will do the same." The red haired man said, briefly craning his head to look at the blonde, "Since I'm so generous, I will give you a month to decide. During this time period, Namikaze will be crafting weapons to help us on our goal for equality."

"This is what happens when you humans cross the line."

"This is what happens when you cross the White Fang."

Then there was static.

He woke with a gasp.

Naruto coughed roughly, as a cold chill breezed through his body.

He didn't know where he was.

It was cold.

He felt enclosed.

He felt sore.

It was dark, the only light source coming from an old lamp that sat a few inches away from him.

An itch on his nose irritated him, and he moved to scratch it.

Only to feel thin plastic when he touched it.

What the hell?

His hand went to grab the thin plastic, before he realized what it was.

A tube of some kind, digging deep into his nose.

Immediately, he yanked it, using both of his hands as the strand extended.

He dropped the tube, and removed the tape that stuck to the edge of his nose. Craning his head slightly, he noticed a small cup that laid on a table beside him.

Slowly, he held his hand up, and clenched it.

Nodding, he reached over and tried to grab the refreshment.

Annoyance took over, as he tried to reach for the cup, to no avail.

He felt something tugging on him, as if holding him in place.

Once more, he tried, forcefully this time, only for it to fall off and spill its water on the stone floor.

"Damn it." He grunted, before his eyes noticed a kettle that was also on the table, sitting a few inches from where the cup last stood.

Naruto rolled over slightly, and tried to grab it.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." A new voice warned.

The blonde stopped for a moment and turned to face the direction of the voice.

Standing not too far away from him, was a girl dressed in white and black, holding a book in her hands as she stared at him, her amber and cat-like eyes piercing into him.

Speaking of cats, two black cat ears poked out of the girl's raven hair, revealing her to be a Faunus.

Her back leaned against the stone wall, one leg propped in the same position, as she stood next to a metal door.

"What? Getting a drink?" Naruto retorted with a bit of bite in his tone.

The raven haired teen didn't seem to be affected by what he said, a lone eyebrow being raised was her only reaction.

"If you want to that battery to be plugged out from the only thing that's keeping your heart beating, then sure; be my guest." She shrugged nonchalantly.

Naruto blinked.

"Battery? What batt-"

He didn't finish his question. The moment he rolled over, he saw what the catgirl was refering to.

A car battery, connected to a wire, that plugged into the middle of his chest, wrapped under bloodied bandages that looked dirty as the cave he was trapped in.

"What the hell did you do me?!"

"Your cell mate saved your life."

Naruto didn't even question who she was refering to, he started to pat his bandaged chest, feeling cold steel that felt round and hard. Slowly, the whiskered blonde peeled away the bandages, a feeling of dread washing over him as he removed the last set of medical tapes.

Sticking out of the middle of his chest, was a circular metal object that had wires attached to it, running down to the battery that sat beside him.

"Like hell they did!" Naruto snarled.

"Miss Belladonna speaks the truth." Another voice chimed in.

Naruto turned his head to the side, when another figure came out of the shadows.

He was an older man, balding, with a scruff that looked like he hadn't shave for months, wearing a torn, and worn buisness suit.

"Yinsen, you're awake." The teen said in surprise, lowering her book as she did.

The man-Yinsen-nodded wryly, "Yes. I can never seem to sleep peacefully these days." He admitted tiredly.

For some reason, the Cat Faunus seemed to flinch at what he said.

"What did you do to me?" Naruto asked silently as he hugged the car battery to his chest, watching as Yinsen sat down on one of the broken chairs, stirring a bowl of soup, whistling a tune as he did.

"What I did?" He repeated, chuckling. "What I did was saving your life." Yinsen watched, amused as Naruto looked at the new addition to his body in a mirror.

"I removed all the shrapnel that I could. There's still a lot more, heading for your heart." The man explained, "Here, take a look." He handed the blonde a small bottle, tossing it, which Naruto caught.

The blonde inspected it, and saw tiny shards of metal that used to belong to the various missile heads he manufactured for Atlas.

He slowly placed it down, before he looked at Yinsen, while he pointed at his chest.

"What is this?"

"That?" Yinsen rose an eyebrow, "That; is an electromagnet, hooked up to a car battery, keeping the shrapnel from entering your heart." He explained.

The man then turned towards the Faunus that stayed silent during the whole exchange, opting to read her book rather than hear what they said.

"I'm assuming it's your shift for watching over us, Miss Belladonna?"

The girl shook her head.

"No, Adam wants to... talk to you and Namikaze." She answered. "I was only here to wake him up." With that, she left, opening door, and closing it shortly.

"She's probably real fun at parties, isn't she?" Naruto stated dryly, prompting the man to chuckle.

"Miss Belladonna usually keeps to herself." He informed.

Naruto looked around the room, noting silently that the walls looked rocky, and dusty, a jagged rock pillar stood in the middle of the room, where he spotted a CCTV camera that zoomed in.

Yinsen noticed where the blonde was looking at and smiled.

"That's right, smile!"

Naruto looked at him questioningly, taking note that the man's smile looked forced, as if he was supposed to do that everytime the camera spotted them.

"Where are we?" The wiskered teen asked.

"Where-?"

The door slammed open, revealing two Faunus dressed in the same grey uniform that had hoods which were down, while Grimm masks were on their faces.

"On your feet. Humans." One of the Faunus barked, venom in his tone as he did, as Yinsen pulled Naruto up and whispered to him.

"Do as I do, put your hands up." He instructed, to which Naruto did.

Another figure entered the cell, a Bull Faunus, from the two horns that poked frim his red hair.

"Namikaze." The Bull Faunus started, "It's an honor to meet you."

"Seems that way." Naruto snorted.

The red haired Faunus didn't react to what he said, before he walked forward. "Your the only human I respect, you don't treat my kind like dirt, and you pay them the same amount as humans." He said, "So I'll give an offer."

The man looked at him.

"Build us the new prototype artillery missile you displayed in your demonstration here in Vacuo, and we'll set you free."

Naruto stayed silent, glancing at the Bull Faunus, before switching his gaze to the White Fang members that flanked the red haired man.

He took a deep breath.

"I refuse."

There was silence.

Yinsen suddenly pounced at the teen, an angry snarl on his visage as he raised his fist, and proceeded to strike the blonde multiple times.

"No! You do not refuse!"

After more strikes, the man placed him down.

Naruto spat out blood, and looked up at the Bull Faunus, who had a deep frown on his face.

"That is unfortunate." He said.

Turning his heel, the Faunus shorty left the two prisoners, the other White Fang members following after.

"I apologize for what I did to you." Yinsen broke the silence. "It was a better than the alternative."

"Alternative?" Naruto asked, rubbing his jaw.

Man does the guy hit hard.

Before Yinsen could say anything else, two Faunus brust into the room, before grabbing Naruto forcefully, stuffing a sack over his head before kicking him out the cell.

Naruto tried to stand, only for one hand to grab the collor of his jacket roughly, and forced him to move.

"Move it, human." A gruff voice ordered harshly.

After a few moments of walking, a natural light hit Naruto's covered face, before the sack was forcefully removed.

He blinked rapidly, his eyes trying to get used to the sun's rays hitting his face after not feeling it for so long.

The blonde noticed two crates set down on the sandy ground in front of him, all bearing the logo of Atlas on its lid.

One Faunus walked over to it and kicked open the crate, revealing missile heads that his company created.

"Are these familiar to you?" The Bull Faunus from before gestured towards the crates.

"The prototypes..." Naruto whispered.

The Faunus nodded.

"We have all the necessary parts you need to build this weapon." He informed.

He walked closer to Naruto.

"I must ask you to reconsider our offer, will you build it for us?"

Naruto stayed silent.

Before he looked up at him defiantly.

"No."

That seemed to set the Faunus off, the moment the blonde said that, the Bull Faunus grabbed the sheathed katana on his hip and struck the CEO with its sheath.

"How dare you..." He snarled.

The Faunus crouched down and harshly gripped Naruto's hair, forcing the teen to look at him.

He tightened his grip, and slammed the blonde's head on the ground.

And again.

And again.

From the side, the Cat Faunus from before flinched and looked away at the ongoing torture.

The other Faunus didn't seem to mind.

After the fifth or sixth slam, the Bull Faunus released the blonde, watching as the near-knocked out teen lay limp.

"Blake," Naruto heard the man say.

"Take him back to his cell."

Then, he passed out again.

As the days pass, the White Fang continued to convince the blonde to build the weapon.

Yet, each time, he refused.

Naruto sighed as he sat at the corner of the cell he was in, his hand often scratching the magnet his cell mate built him.

How many days had pass already, a week? Two? Five?

He didn't know anymore.

"Why do you still refuse?" A familiar voice came from the cell's door.

The blonde jumped in slight surprise, and turned his head.

Standing beside the door, was the Blake girl he regularly see the Bull Faunus with.

"What do you want?"

Blake glared at him.

For the past few weeks the girl had been trying to comprehend why the blonde still refused Adam's offer, even if he had offered the CEO a way back to Atlas if he just complied.

But even still, he didn't.

It was starting to peak the girl's curiosity.

"You still refuse, even if Adam gave you a change of mercy, but you didn't take it." Blake said. "You know what he's gonna do you."

Naruto shrugged as if he had no care in the world. "Yeah, he'll kill me." He answered casually.

This only served to frustrate the girl more.

"Then why refuse?" She asked, her voice unintentionally raising up.

"Cause they need me." Naruto said, "If they'll kill me. Who else is going to build their weapon for them?"

"How about you, huh?" Naruto suddenly said.

"Why join them?"

Blake backed up from the question.

"I... what?"

"Why join the White Fang?" Naruto asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Blake said, "The White Fang's fighting for equality, for the Faunus. For the one's that suffered prejudice and rascism all their lives."

"We're fighting against injustice."

She didn't know when she got emotional during her mini-speech, but somehow she did. But it didn't seem to faze Naruto, who only had an eyebrow raised.

"Equality huh?" The blonde repeated, "Are we looking at the same group? Cause I sure as hell remember the White Fang you're describing dissapperead about... five years ago."

Blake glared at Naruto for the statment.

"We got pushed too far, and we just-"

"What?" Naruto interrupted, "Cause fights? Kill politians? Kidnap CEOs? Steal Dust?"

"Is this what equality is now?"

She opened her mouth.

Yet no words came out.

How could she refute it? It was all true. Even she had noticed it, the very reasons she, herself, had came upon, which started to make her doubt the orginization.

"Do you really think fear is gonna help the Faunus?" Naruto continued.

"Fear creates hate, hate creates war, and war... is never good."

Realization dawned upon the blonde as he said that.

"It's a never ending cycle."

And he was part of it.

The CEO stayed silent, even as Blake left shortly, all he did was sit, staring down at the ground.

He had a lot to think about.

A few hours passed, and Naruto was currently looking down on a missile warhead that the White Fang gave him, after he had requested them, and a few more items.

He remembered Adam having a satisfied smile on his face when he listed the items that he needed.

Smug bastard.

They all thought he finally accepted.

Little do they know…

Yinsen looked over at what the blonde was doing curiously.

"Are you actually going to build it?" He questioned.

Naruto laughed, "Hell no!"

He then promptly slammed his elbow down on the missile head, breaking it as the parts scrambled on the table.

The whiskered teen took a small piece with one hand and showed it to the older man.

"In the missiles, are little metals called paladium." Naruto informed, before he set it back down on the table.

"First things first. We need to change the magnet stuck to my chest so I don't have to lug a car battery around."

"Mind to break down the other missiles for me?"

Yinsen nodded, and walked over to the other war heads placed in the corner of the room.

Naruto smirked, and flexed his fingers.

Time to get to work.

"Careful, careful…" Naruto cautioned, leading Yinsen, who grabbed a cup filled with something smaouldering.

"Relax, I havw steady hands." The man reassured, before he poured the contents of the cup into a mould.

A few minutes passed, before Naruto grabbed a small metal ring formed from the mould. He inspected it in detail, until he was satisfied with it, and placed it on another ring.

An hour passed, as Naruto soldered small metal objects together, which later formed a few metal braces. The blonde often fixed his postures and moved as he soldered the braces.

Soon after, the braces formed into something akin to a small flashlight part, decorated with metal braces that the blonde previously soldered. Hooked up by wires that led to a generator powered by Dust.

Naruto slowly twisted a knob, and the object soon started to glow, as the Dust started to transfer into the small object.

Yinsen walked up to Naruto, eyeing the object.

"That doesn't look like the prototype."

"It isn't." Naruto said, "It's a miniturized arc reactor, only this one's powered by Dust. It'll keep the shrapnel out of my heart."

"What does it generate?"

Naruto focused on the reactor as he twisted the knob more.

"If my math is right…" He twisted it again. "About… three gaga-joules per second."

Yinsen widened his eyes a bit at how much power such a small object could create.

"That could run your heart for for fifty lifetimes…" Yinsen muttered.

"Or fifteen minutes." Naruto pointed out the possible alternative.

He walked over to a table, which held a thin stack of papers on the wooden furniture. Turning on a lamp, the light shining on the table as he placed the papers on top of each other.

"This." Naruto pointed at the papers.

"Is our ticket out of here."

Yinsen tilted his head, trying to look at it at a better angle.

"What is it?"

"Flatten the picture and you'll see."

And the older man did just that.

A week had passed, and Blake Belladonna could honestly say that she had rather grown closer to the prisoner they kept.

It started out as mild curiosity, after what the blonde had told her about the White fang, her thoughts on the orginization had started to change.

Well, that was a lie, it had started to change longer than that, ever since the first time the group had turned violent, she had started to have doubts.

It grew, everyday it grew.

From every raid they did. Every train they sabotaged, her doubt just grew every second.

And Naruto just made her realize it.

The words he said kept repeating in her head, everyday, the words still rung in her ears.

By Oum, she couldn't think straight.

It honestly made her mind into a mess.

She sighed, as she watched the many Faunus that had been stationed here in the caverns in Vacuo.

She was one of them, at least, temporarily. Adam had left for Vale hours ago.

She needed to rest for a bit.

Just as she was about to stand up. Something happened.

An explosion sounded off in the caves.

She completely stood up in alarm, as the other White Fang members raced to the caverns.

Only for a bulky figure to come out of the darkness.

Naruto was angry.

No scratch that-he was livid.

If he had only been a few seconds faster, then this wouldn't have happened.

Yinsen was dead.

And he was to blame.

He memorized what the older man told him in which direction to go to.

Bullets hit the metal armor he wore, as the arc reactor in his chest shined brightly, acting as a pseudo-flashlight for him.

From the inside of the bulky helmet he wore, Naruto heard the various shouts the White Fang members cried out.

All of it related to stopping him.

One of them intended to strike him with a blade.

An uppercut to the face would stop that.

He made his way towarda the exit of the cave, large metal thumps following after every steps he took.

Even though the helmet blocked most of his vision, he could still see the light that penetrated the cavern.

'Just a few more steps!'

No matter how bulky the armor was, he still felt the rays of the sun.

He was free.

Well, not excatly.

The fact that almost every White Fang members stationed in the caverns had surrounded him attested to that.

All of them trained their weapons on him.

Silence filled the area.

Before they all pulled their triggers.

Despite the hundreds of bullets that hit the armor, nothing happened.

Metal hit metal, but the armor never relented.

Thumps were heard all over the armor as the bullets hit him.

Yet, he ust stood there, soaking all of it like a sponge.

Finally, they stopped.

…

"My turn."

With that, Naruto activated the flamethrowers built on the undersides of the metal arms.

As soon as the fire reached the group, they turned tail and ran.

Naruto switched his targets to the boxes of weapon that the White Fang stole.

And burned it all.

A sound of machinery was heard.

Naruto turned his head.

Across from him was a White Fang member that mounted a cannon that looked to be of Atlesian tech.

Okay, maybe that could hurt him.

"Survive this!"

Before he could fire, a figure appeared behind him.

The familiar black bow was the only thing Naruto needes to recognize who that was.

Blake struck the White Fang member, rendering him unconscious.

The girl turned to face the blonde.

"Go."

No other words were needed to be said.

The blonde took off to the skies.

And after about ten to five minutes, he started to fall.

He struck the sandy ground harshly.

Pieces of the suit tore apart, as shards of the armor fell to the sand below him.

Naruto ripped off the helmet, and tore off the excess armor.

He crawled, and crawled.

Till he saw figures just in the distance.

The sounds of Bullheads filled his ears.

And he saw a familiar shade of white.

"Win… Winter?"

That was all he muttered before he subcumbed to unconsciousness.

Though, even through the hardships he had faced during his time in captivity, he learned one thing.

Heroes weren't born…

They were built.

Again, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience at how shitty the other chapter was.

Just think of it as a rough draft.

Anyways, hope you review.

See ya.
