A/N: What's up everybody? This story is about to progress pretty well if I do say so myself. I did some hardcore thinking and did some research in order to best adapt to the source material even if this story is slight AU. The only thing that really makes it AU is the geography of the continent, and even still it's not all that different. I also want a beta reader to help me with my grammar errors or anything that I could do better in my story. So anyone who wants to volunteer can just PM me. Anyway, enjoy! I hope...

Chapter 1: X782

In a land far, far away lies the Kingdom of Fiore, a small peaceful nation of 17 million, and a place filled with magic! Found in every home, bought and sold in every marketplace, for most, magic is merely a tool, a mundane part of everyday life. For some, however, magic is an art and they devoted their lives to its oractice. These are the wizards. Banded together into magical guilds they apply their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many such guilds dot the landscape of Fiore. But there is a certain guild in a certain town that soars high above the rest, one from which countless legends have been born… a guild that will no doubt continue to create legends well into the future. Its name… is Fairy Tail.

…

The Magic Council, ERA, the ones who kept order in the magic world at all times. They were the glue that held all wizard guilds together. There were nine people standing on top of a large magic circle, while each individual person was standing on their own personal magic circle, discussing issues in the magic world as usual.

"Fairy Tail destroyed half of a town on their last job! They are getting out of hand!" said Leiji. He is a tall middle-aged man, who always wears small, round, dark shaded glasses. He wears a white and blue Magic Council cloak, always with the hood up. Leiji has large thin lips and tan skin. He has black hair and huge sideburns that almost hit his lips. On his chin are small chin hairs. Leiji also has small eyebrows that always point down, making him look angry and serious.

"I personally like Fairy Tail, they certainly make the world a lot less boring." said Siegrain, he dressed himself in elegant yet simple robes; consisting of a long white frock-coat with black stripes across the edges and on the upper part of the arms, a decorated standing collar, large straps connected to decorated buckles closing the inducement on the front over a dark shirt, and matching pants and shoes. He also sported a ring on his right middle finger, and had the medallion attesting his status as one of the Ten Wizard Saints around his neck, hidden by his jacket's collar.

"I have to agree, that guild is quite entertaining," said Ultear, a very voluptuous women with dark purple hair and red eyes. She was wearing a long revealing dress, sporting a striped pattern. Suddenly the earth started to rumble and a strange, humanoid toad-like creature burst through door of the council room shouting, "Emergency! Emergency!"

"What is it?!" asked short, frail looking old man asked. This man was Yajima, who held the 6th chair in the council.

"There's been a detection of overwhelming energy in the south! The threat level is Dragon!" warned the amphibious humanoid employee of the magic council. The entire head of the council went into disarray.

"We must investigate it immediately! Send out the closest men we have to investigate the source!" The council chairman ordered. Everyone there was stricken with numerous thoughts and emotions began to flurry.

"It's probably that damn guild again!" An elderly man who had various cat like features. From pointy ears, to a mustache that resembled whiskers, to even being in possession of a tail! This man's name was Michello.

"No, there's no way that guild could produce the threat level of a dragon. I'll check the Surveillence room and afterwards head towards the site." Siegrain said as his thought projection disappeared. Siegrain's real body was sitting behind a desk in what seemed like a small library. He walked out into the main lobby of the magic council and there were many of the same amphibian like people running around in a panic.

"Jeez I wish they would calm down at least a little..." Siegrain thought as he maintained his cool demeanor and walked through the lobby until he came to a door that was labeled Surveillance. He opened the door and stepped through and was immediately greeted by a regular human.

"Sir Siegrain, this way please." he said as he led the former to a table with a whole bunch of different tools of measurement on it. There was a huge digital map on the wall behind the table and a blinking red dotwas present south of ERA, where the magic council was located. Each and every energy measuring device was completely maxed out. If the levels of energy they were detecting rose even the slightest it would probably shatter those devices into a million pieces.

"These readings are off the charts!" Siegrain exclaimed. His eyes widened in horror from reading the values. Suddenly a warning siren started to go off in the room, and the devices began to shatter one by one.

"What could that possibly be coming from?!..."

(At the sight of the energy source)

There was a gigantic tower of searing sky blue light coming from within the mountains south of ERA. There was a small battalion of Rune Knights stationed near there, a head count of about 100 men. As they marched closer to the light source, the more and more pressure they began to feel on their knees. Some couldn't take it and just plain collapsed under the intensity of all that pressure. Not only dealing with the pressure of the energy, but the rumbling of the earth that was caused by it.

"Just what on earth could possibly be the source of this?!" The captain of the squadron asked in utter shock and awe. That tower of light cause the earth to rumble, and as they got closer to it, everyone's fears began to build up ever higher. Like bells ringing in a church, there were pangs in the heart of the captain. Then suddenly the tower of light began to expand, ripping apart the earth and destroying nearly everything that it touched. It consumed the soldiers, the ones who collapsed on the way there were the lucky ones. At this point it could be seen throughout the entire kingdom of Fiore. Every guild, every creature, everything stopped what they were doing and looked at the spectacle that was taking place. It was like a beacon, perhaps a warning symbol from the magic council. Some thought that two extremely powerful wizards were facing off in a battle to the death. Whatever it was it definitely caught the attention of all those who were able.

The light then began to recede to it's epicenter and the trembling subsided. All the knights that were there were all unconscious and bodies were littered everywhere. All except the captain, though he was struggling just to stay conscious for the time being. He lay there on the cold hard ground, inside the massive crater. Something stuck out to him, there was an arm, a human arm. Then there were two arms that came out of the epicenter. The dirt began crumbling away as two people crawled out from beneath the earth. They were two men, one with blonde hair, wearing an orange coat, matching orange pants and a black headband tied around his head. The other one had dark hair, his black cloak had a high collar and some black sandals. Their clothes were tattered and their bodies dusty. The captain couldn't grasp a good look at their face before falling unconscious.
"Oooh man what the heck happened to me?" The blonde one asked aloud as he stumbled a bit. Once the two were about to gather themselves they scanned the area around them. They saw the bodies of the Rune Knights littered throughout the area like trash.
"Hey are you okay?" The blonde one called out but no response was given to him.
"Those clothes... They don't look like any from the five great nations." The Raven haired boy pointed out. None of them were moving, but they all showed signs of still being alive.
"Still what the hell happened here?" Naruto asked as he clutched his in pain.
"Sasuke we should go back to the village Sasuke groaned as he held his head in pain as well.
"I don't think that's possible right now..." Sasuke said, his words trailing off just a bit.
"What do you mean that's not possible?" Naruto asked.
"There are people unconscious, in clothing we've never seen before. And the fact that geologically, we're not even in the same place we started." Sasuke explained but Naruto still looked confused. He sighed and continued, "The latest memory I have was us setting foot inside of a temple in the forest, no mountains and I'm sure your memory is similar to that." Sasuke said as he looked to see Naruto bobbing his head in agreement.
"Look around you... This is clearly a mountainous region, and on top of that look at what we're standing in!" Sasuke said loudly. Naruto took a serious look around this time. This reminded him of his battle with Pain. There was nothing but a desolate wasteland for about a mile or so. The crater was also pretty deep too. Naruto was speechless about the situation. He looked once more at the several bodies spread across the area. He looked back at Sasuke, his eyes bring covered by his hair.
"We should... Probably get out of here..." Sasuke suggested and Naruto agreed. The two shinobi left the scene, heading Northeast. Moving as fast as their stiff bodies could move. After a while of walking they managed to leave that area entirely and enter an actual forest.
"The geography is similar, but these trees are slightly different than the ones that surround the Hidden Leaf." Sasuke pointed out, inspecting a fallen leaf as they stopped to take a break once they entered the forest.
"If you're right and we are in some different place, where exactly are we?" Naruto asked.
"Well we won't find out just sitting around." He said as they got up and began moving once more. After a few hours of dragging their heels they finally reached the outskirts of a town. It was a lively town, the market was bustling with people. There was so much chatter, Naruto and Sasuke could vaguely pick up on conversations from where they were.
"This is definitely not the Leaf Village." Naruto said as they ventured deeper into town. They kept on hearing the same two words being mentioned over and over. "Fairy Tail?..." Naruto and Sasuke both thought as they looked at each other. Then Naruto went to go ask an old man who was selling these weird crystal balls.
"Fairy Tail? Oh they're the wizard guild that occupy this town. They're a capable bunch but they always go a little too overboard." The old man said.
"Tell us more about these wizards and guilds." Sasuke said and the elderly began to explain to them all the commonly known things about guilds and wizards.
"If you two don't know about wizards or guilds, this is clearly your first time setting foot in this continent." He said.
"That may very well be true." Sasuke said as he began to walk off. Naruto trailed behind him, thanking the old man for the information that they were given.
"We should head to this Fairy Tail, they could have the information that we need." Sasuke said. They began heading towards the guild hall which was located on the edge of the town. Certainly they had a few eyes fall upon them due to the state of their clothing but that would only serve as a distraction right now. It only took them a few minutes to reach the guild hall. Naruto burst through the large wooden doors of the guild. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at the two that just burst in. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I need some help."

…

Siegrain and a few other members of the magic council showed up to the site where Naruto and Sasuke came out of. They looked at the massive crater in the ground and were completely awe struck. Siegrain hopped into the crater and began walking to its center. He saw the Rune Knights scattered about like trash and didn't even pay them any attention.

"Medical attention will see to them soon." He said aloud to himself. After a short while of walking, he had finally reached the center. He saw the hole in the ground that Naruto and Sasuke came out of and he looked deeper into it. He noticed something shining within arms reach inside of the hole. He got down to his knees and reached for the object. Grabbing hold of it, he pulled out his arm and inspected it. It was a shattered piece of crystal, with a japanese word written on it.

"Six?" Siegrain thought. He looked back down into the hole to try and see if he could find anymore pieces of shattered crystal.

"I'll have an archeological team come and dig this site out later once everything's calm down." Siegrain thought a with a mischievous smirk as he pocketed the crystal.
