Also, since Naruto has Chakra Mode and all that. I will clarify how I'll have things to better paint a visual in your minds. Chakra Mode is how Naruto looked when he first got control of Kurama's chakra. Kurama Mode will refer to his second stage with the chakra formed cloak and Naruto's black shirt. Tailed Beast Mode is the Nine Tails made from chakra. I'll simply refer to this as Kurama himself. If that's ok with you folks.


Ok, so I've undertaken a couple of projects, one of which being this story. Titled: A New Journey: Naruto and Fairy Tail X-over, the original of which can be found on PixleKH's page. I have made a few edits due to what I can foresee happening in this crossover of two fantastic manga series. This is one of two stories that I have recently adopted, for those of you who are fans of my Era of the Sixth story, don't worry. That chapter is currently in the works and in a perfect world it will be up by Christmas.

That being said, I am far from perfect and you all know that my update schedule is very distanced and random; however, I hope you also understand that this is due to my attempt at putting out a high-quality series for all of you to enjoy. Thus, the next chapter will be your typical 15-20 page chapter as the edits I have made lead to a massive plot change and lots of other changes. The other Fairy Tail and Naruto crossover has longer chapters, so over Thanksgiving break I hope to work on it between work hours and spending time with my girlfriend. Ideally, I'll get those up after the break and then from there I'll work on getting all three updated in a timely matter so please be patient as it takes me time to crank out those 15-20 page chapters. Before I forget, a Fairy Tail only story is in the works so keep an eye out for The Burning Stars.

One final note in regards to this series. You guys will witness the relationships of everyone. They will be the ones that I personally believe should be and what I like to work with. Naruto X Sakura, Natsu X Lucy, Gray X Juvia, etc.

I thank you all for your patience and I hope you are all as eager and excited as I am for this series and the other crossover that will be coming after a couple projects are completed.


Episode 1: The Beginning of Another Saga

Season 1: A New Journey

Series: World of Fire


Murmuring could be heard behind the door to a small, quaint, modest apartment. All of a sudden the door was slammed open to a blonde woman yelling, "Lucy Kick!"

The result was the removal of a certain pink-haired dragon slayer flying through the window of the small man was fortunate that his flying blue cat was able to catch him and prevent him from flying too far away. Natsu was carefully guided to the window by his close friend, Happy. The Exceed's white wings glistening in the sunlight as he carried Natsu to the window of Lucy's apartment.

The dragon slayer rubbed at his jaw with the back of his right hand as he muttered to the blonde woman, "Damn Lucy, your kick just keeps getting stronger."

Lucy couldn't help but sigh in disbelief and frustration, "Natsu, I told you I'd be at the guild in half an hour. I had to get some groceries since we spent way too much time partying in Crocus after winning the Grand Magic Games."

Natsu closed his eyes, his head angled down as he crossed his arms over his chest, giving him the appearance of thought, an idea not normally associated with the young man.

"It's not like it's my fault that your food got ruined. I bet I could've cooked 'em up into something really good."

That was when Lucy's kick met Natsu's gut sending both him and his friend Happy flying as she screamed, "I wasn't blaming you!"

She couldn't help the small smile that formed on her face as she heard Natsu and Happy scream as they went sailing through the skies. She would never admit to anyone, not even her Celestial Spirits, but she truly loved it when Natsu showed up in her apartment and annoyed her. Something about him made her feel warm inside and it was these thoughts that provided her cheeks with a soft blush as she turned on her heel to walk back towards the door. She grabbed the case that held her keys and attached it to the belt on her right hip as she strode through the door, making sure to lock it behind her. She took the stairs two at a time on her way down, bursting onto the streets of Magnolia with a dazzling smile and soft blush on her cheeks at the thought of her local pink-haired dragon slayer.

Lucy skipped down the avenue, twirling near the waterways of Magnolia. A passing sailor, who happened to see her often, couldn't but call out to her as he often did when she journeyed near the water.

"You know, one of these days you're gonna fall in!"

It was for naught, as Lucy was too wrapped up in her thoughts of Natsu to hear the sailor as she skipped and danced her way to the guild.

***Later - At the Fairy Tail Guildhall***

A young blue-haired girl stood in front of the missions board, trying to find a job for she and her friends to embark on. She, like Natsu, was a dragon slayer, of the sky dragon Grandina as opposed to Natsu's fire dragon father, Igneel. Like Natsu, she also had a close friend that was also an Exceed from Edolas. She was all white, unlike Happy who had a coat of fur that was entirely the color blue. She was advising her friend on the best mission for the group, while the young girl, who didn't see any specialties, had been content on just grabbing a random one. Her Exceed friend on the other hand Reaching up she grabbed a piece of a paper, a posting about some bandits, something simple for her to get started on.

"Hey Erza, I think I have one we can all enjoy." As she turned to her friends who were sitting at a table nearby and watching her.

The red-headed, armor wearing woman smiled at the girl. "Good job Wendy. The rest of us will go get packed and we'll meet back here in a-"

"Erza! You're not going anywhere!" came the shout of a very short elderly man standing on the bar of the guild.

Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, Happy, and Carla turned to address the elderly man that the entire guild, including them (with the exception of Natsu), addressed as Master.

"Master? What appears to be the issue?" Erza inquired.

"I have a special request for you, I will allow you to take up to six others on this job. Do you understand?" Makarov said.

Erza gave a nod of her head, signalling that she did and was patiently waiting for more details and instructions.

"Good, now, you and whoever will journey with you, must travel to what is known as the Elemental Nations. It is imperative."

"Huh? Elemental Nations? The hell you talkin' about gramps?" came the brash answer of the fire dragon slayer.

"A demonic statue has been released upon those nations. I don't know what relation it may have to Zeref but it is imperative, as the man controlling it has unleashed it in the hopes of capturing two individuals."

The eyes of the group widened before Gray stated, "All that just to catch two people? Seems like a load of crap if ya ask me."

"Well it's true now quit interrupting! In any case, this is a major threat to their lands and Fiore, for the inhabitants have assembled a large army of shinobi and they are being pushed back by this thing. I'm sending you Erza, and presumably the rest of you, to provide aid. As soon as Gajeel's group returns from their latest job I'll send them as well. Should things become too severe we will send even more to back you up. Lamia Scale will send a group as will Blue Pegasus to help deal with this crisis."

Erza's eyes danced while Lucy chewed on her lip in thought. Wendy looked at Carla in fear, as did Happy, and Carla's eyes had widened. Gray grimaced and looked down in thought, while Natsu simply stared at Makarov.

"Hey gramps, what's a shinobi?"

"Hmm? Oh, a shinobi is a ninja. Why do you ask Natsu?"

Natsu and Happy's eyes lit up quickly. "Ninja?! Are you for real?! Ha ha!"

Natsu quickly wrapped his scarf in a way that it stretched around his forehead while covering his nose and mouth, before quickly putting his hands together in what he believed to be a ninja fashion. Happy stood beside him, mimicking his friend's hands.

The others couldn't help but sweatdrop at this clear sign of stupidity, and the ice wizard, Gray, decided to call him out on it.

"Natsu will ya quit acting like an idiot?! This is serious business! Did ya miss the fact we have to fight a demon?!"

Natsu, being one who never backed down from a challenge, quickly got into his face. "What's that skating rink? I couldn't hear ya over my awesome ninja skill!"

Gray butted his forehead to Natsu's, the competitiveness rising in them both, "Oh yeah smokestack?! I bet I have more ninja skill than you do!"

"Ha! Being a stripper doesn't count ice princess!"

"What did you say pyro?!"

"You heard me ice cube!"

The two continued their shouting, so absorbed were they in fighting each other, that they failed to notice Erza walking over to them until it was too late. She grabbed them both by the hair at their back of their heads, pulled them away from each other, then slammed their heads together. This not only put a stop to the fighting, but silenced the bickering pair and caused them to slump to the ground, pain obvious on their jaw-dropped, watery-eyed faces.

"That's enough! Master has given us a job to do and we will fulfill it in the name of Fairy Tail. Now go be packed and meet back here in an hour is that clear!"

Both Natsu and Gray, promptly leapt to their feet, goose eggs throbbing and eyes still watering, and raised their hands in a salute while simultaneously shouting, "Yes ma'am!"

The rest of the guild sighed and laughed as the two ran off to their respective homes, Happy flying after his partner, Natsu. Lucy and Wendy, who was accompanied by Carla, also vacated the guild, shortly after the departure of the two bickering friends. Erza sighed and chuckled before turning back to the guild master.

"Master, how powerful is this statue, and the man controlling it?"

Makarov sighed. He had always appreciated how seriously Erza took such matters. He often lamented that if Natsu could become serious he could easily become an S class wizard but alas.

"I cannot say for the man, but I will tell you this, he wears a mask. That is all that we know at this current time. As for the demon statue, when it is at it's maximum power, my guess would be that it could rival Zeref or Acnologia."

Erza looked down at her feet in thought, her eyes dancing with ferocity and determination. She could not deny the fear in her heart, but the pride of being chosen for such a task, as well as her desire to make her guild proud and protect her friends stood out more so.

Alas, if either of them knew what was to truly come then perhaps….

***Meanwhile - On the Southeastern Coast of Pergrande Kingdom***

A man dressed in a black shirt that opened up to the end of his sternum, with a silver necklace around his neck, stood on the shores of Pergande Kingdom, staring off into the horizon. His black garb was covered around his abdomen and waist by a white robe that was tied off on his left shoulder, the fabric billowing in the ocean breeze.

"I can sense the power of demons far into the distance, strong is their power. If Natsu cannot kill me, then perhaps they can."

His black hair parted from another gust of ocean air, revealing his cold, onyx eyes.

"The Elemental Nations."


Again, I apologize for the length and that it's not what I'm sure many of you were expecting. I understand many of you are not in favor of the pace for this chapter, but please live without fear, for the pace will surely slow down. Like I said, it will be some time before the next chapter as I'm still working on Era of the Sixth, which will take a little bit, for reasons that you guys will see when you read it. Not only that, but there will be a Fairy Tail story on the horizon, so watch for The Burning Stars. As I warned those of you who are fans of Era of the Sixth, and am warning those of you who are either fans of the original telling of this story or new fans, there will be character deaths, there will be casualties, tragedies and many somber moments. So I encourage you all to remain patient and maintain your eagerness for this story. As always, please R&R and if any of you have questions, comments, concerns, or ideas then feel free to PM me as I am always eager to hear your thoughts. Once again, this is The 85th Naruto sayin' see ya!
