Son of The Emperor

Chapter 19

2 Days Later:

Naruto slowly opened his eyes to find himself floating in a liquid of some kind. He saw Appule sipping on some coffee as Naruto tapped the glass. Appule looked up from the screen and spat out his coffee, "LORD BYTE! You're awake!" Appule shouted as he quickly opened the healing pod. The liquid drained from the pod as Naruto felt his feet touch the ground. He soon collapsed as Appule opened the hatch and knelt down beside him, "Lord Byte, do you need help?" Appule asked

"P-please," Naruto replied as Appule wrapped an arm around him. He helped Naruto to his feet as he spoke into his scouter, "Lord Frieza! Lord Byte as awakened! I'm bringing him to his room," Appule said, "come on, let's get you to your room,"

"Y-yes, please," Naruto replied as Appule helped him to his room. As Appule and Naruto walked out of the healing-pod room, they saw Frieza soldiers in the halls saluting them as they walked by. After a while of walking, Naruto and Appule made it to Naruto's room as Appule set him on the former's bed, "Would you like anything to eat or drink, Lord Byte?" Appule asked

"Ramen would be nice," Naruto replied as Appule nodded

"Of course! Perfect! Something nice and light, would you like Miso?"

"Please," Naruto said as Appule rushed to fetch Naruto's food. Naruto laid on his bed for a few moments before he heard his door open and something landed on his stomach, "NII-CHAAAAN!" Kuriza shouted at the top of his lungs as he bounced on Naruto, "You're alive!"

"Of course I'm alive," Naruto replied as he hugged Kuriza

"I-I thought you w-would die," Kuriza said as Naruto scoffed

"Bah, I wouldn't die. Not since I got you waiting for me, otouto," Naruto replied as he heard someone cough. Standing in the doorway was his father, with a small smirk on his face, "What? Am I not a good enough excuse for you to come home?" Frieza asked as Naruto gave a nervous smile

"N-no! That's not it at all! I-uhhh,"

"Oh, quiet, my son," Frieza replied as he walked over and picked Kuriza off of Naruto. Setting Kuriza at Naruto's bedside, Frieza gave a sigh as he said: "So, how are you feeling?"

"Like I'm getting used to gravity," Naruto said, making Frieza laugh

"Oh ho ho ho ho ho, that is quite the feeling, isn't it? Well, we better get going to give you time to rest. Come along, Kuriza, leave you brother be," Frieza stated, making Kuriza sigh

"Aww, but dad," Kuriza whined

"No buts, now go to your room and make sure you have all your toys. I'm not turning back like last time," Frieza said

"Yes, daddy," Kuriza replied, walking out of the room with his father behind him. But before Frieza left, he turned and looked at Naruto, saying: "Oh yes, I forgot to mention. Byte, you have a new job. As second in command of the Frieza Force, you are granted and elite personal squadron of your own, the Byte Squad. Once your feeling well again, I'll have Ginyu start teaching you the ropes,"

"W-wait, what?" Naruto asked, but it was too late. His father left the room before he could hear him, making Naruto sigh and lay his head on his pillow.

10 Minutes Later:

Appule returned with Naruto's food and placed it at his bed-side, "Lord Byte! I have returned with some Miso Ramen, per your request!" Appule said with a salute

"Thank-you, Appule," Naruto said as he sat up and grabbed the bowl. Naruto started to eat when he noticed something. The ramen was off. Something about it didn't seem right as Naruto looked down at it and then at Appule, "I-Is something wrong, m-my lord?" Appule asked
