Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Fairy Tail. That really sucks… I'm going to go cry in the corner now.
The Eternal sage
Chapter 1: Weakest member?
Laughter roared the halls of Fairy Tail as everyone enjoyed their drinks with friends. The mages of Fairy Tail tend to relax in peaceful times like this. No worries, no annoying pink hair-
"WERE HOME!"
Never mind…
A lean, muscular young man of average height with a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes, and spiky pink-colored hair, made his way into the guild house exited to finally be back.
A young woman with white hair smiled softly at her friend's safe return, "Natsu, Happy Welcome home."
Quickly jumping into gear, Natsu immediately jumped up in the air and kicked a guild member in the face, "BASTARD! THAT INFO YOU GAVE ME ABOUT SALAMANDER WAS FAKE!"
Everyone in the guild saw the opportunity to start a rumble and just started beating each other up. The guild was being torn apart….again.
A young teen with brown eyes and shoulder length blonde hair just stood there taking the fact that she was finally in Fairy Tail, "Wow… I'm actually here"
She has come all the way to Mongolia town to join the guild that she's dreamed of and it was finally right in front of her.
"My, a newcomer."
Hearing a soft voice behind her, she turned around and saw Mirajane Strauss, S-class mage who often models for sorcery magazine. She had has long, white hair which curls slightly at the ends, with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her chest. She wore a sleeveless, ankle-length maroon dress with a pleated skirt. The chest is adorned by a large, pink bow, and similarly colored trimmings frame the rather ample neckline, acting as straps, and circle around the waist. It's really her!
Hearts started forming in her eyes, "Kyaaah! THE REAL ONE!" It's not every day that you get to meet someone as gorgeous as her. Hearing the ruckus that was happening behind her, she turned back to the guild members and watched them all fighting each other, "Don't you have to stop them!"
"Don't worry it happens all the tim-" Before she could finish a bottle flew across the room and hit her in the face.
"Mirajane-san are you okay."
Mirajane stood up with blood dripping down her forehead, "Besides isn't it fun this way?"
A black haired teen stood up from a pile of wood without any clothe on, "AHH! MY UNDERWEAR!" Looking around he stared at Lucy for a while, "Lady If you don't mind can you please lend me your-" A fist landed on his face and he was thrown backwards.
"NO WAY I'D DO THAT YOU PERV!"
The fight was getting out of hand as the mages started to get their magic ready and finally end this. Mirajane notice this and was a little worried that they might hurt each other.
"THAT'S ENOUGH, CUT IT OUT YOU FOOLS!" A giant figure stood at a towering height. Lucy, never having seen something so scary, trembled in the mere presence of the figure. Everyone in the guild just stopped and looked at each other. Seeing as they couldn't do anything, they all just gave up and went their separate ways.
A grin formed on Natsu's faces as he stood proud and confident over everyone giving up, "HA HA HA! YOU ALL GOT SCARED! IM THE-!" The figure decided that it was the best time to step on him. It looked like it didn't even notice him at all.
The black figure noticed a new face among the others, "Ah a newcomer." Shrinking in size the figure looked entirely different. An extremely short, elderly man. He had black eyes and is growing bald with only the outer rims of his head containing white hair. He also has a thick white mustache. Wearing a white tunic with Fairy Tail symbol on the left collar and a black pants in which covered by a formal white coat with white fur around the edge and the Ten Wizard Saints' symbol an the back.
Standing up on a wooden ledge of the second floor Makarov, The Guild Master, looked at his children with a wary eye, "You've done it again, fools. Looks at these documents that I received from the council. Gray, good job on sweeping out the smuggling organization but you walked around naked in town afterwards."
"It's not my fault!"
"Elfman! You had a mission to escort a VIP, but assaulted him during the mission. Cana! Drinking 15 barrels of alcohol, then charging it to the council."
"Damn! They found out!"
"Loki… Flirting with the council member elder grand-daughter. And last but not least Natsu. Oh my dear boy. The amount of damaged you have caused can even compare to what the rest have done. I won't even bother naming all of them"
Makarov started shaking and a shadow overtook his eyes. Lucy was afraid that he was getting ready to yell and was stricken with fear. Everyone was waiting for what was coming next.
"Fuck those council members!"
A shocked Lucy to could do nothing but stare, "EH?"
"We are Fairy Tail mages and the council can't do anything to stop us. We don't listen to orders because we break them. So do whatever you think is right!" The guild erupted with cheers. Right there and then Lucy knew that she picked the best guild.
"That right old man I couldn't have said it any better myself."
Lucy looked next to her to see the strange individual. That's weird, she doesn't remember ever hearing about this guy. In fact she didn't even know that he was next to her until he shouted. Blue eyes and Blond, spiky hair caught her eyes instantly. He was wearing orange sweatshirt with black stripes, along with black pants and sandals. His right arm was bandaged while his left arms he had a bracelet around his wrist. On it had some strange symbols, which she had no idea what they were. Lucy was lost in thought for so long that she didn't notice that he was staring right back at her.
A small grin formed on the blond face and extended his arm towards her, "Hi." Well that was lame. Why couldn't he think of a better greeting than that?
Lucy, finally snapping out of her thoughts, blushed in embarrassing, "Oh sorry about that got lost in my thought." Well what a good way of meeting someone new. Start off by ignoring his greeting. Just great, "Anyways... um my names Lucy Heartfilia."
Everyone in the guild sighted on what was about to come next. This happened every time Naruto wanted to introduction himself. They tried their best to ignore him
The blond smiled and began his introduction, "I am the man that makes all men shake with fear and women with lust. I am the sage of Fairy Tail, the eternal toad sennin, Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto finished, hopping on one leg like his master used to do. Everyone in the Guild just continued to ignore what was happening. The sounds of instruments played every time Naruto did that, no one knew where it came from, it just happened every time he introduced himself that way.
Natsu started to chuckle and pointed at Naruto, "HA! Sage of Fairy Tail my ass. You're the weakest in the guild." And it was true. Naruto is known as the weakest among the guild.
Hearing what Natsu said, "Oi! Fuck off. My awesomeness is just too much for you to see." Grumbling he turned back to Lucy. He didn't have to yell it out to the world. He was awesome wasn't he? Oh who was he kidding, he was fucking awesome and no pink haired brat was going to put him down.
"Um... are you okay?" He was one weird guy, no doubt about that.
"Oh yea, I'm fine." Looking at her waist he noticed that she has keys which could only mean one thing, "You're a celestial spirit mage aren't you."
Puffing her chest, "Yea I am. I'm hoping to be the best there is." No one was going to stop her and joining a guild was the first step.
Pointing to where Mirajane was standing, "Well 'Miss. Best there is' You better go get your stamp to be an official member."
Walking over to Mirajane, she picked where to get her stamp, which was the top of her hand. Staring at it with a big smile she went over to Natsu to show him.
"Natsu look! She gave me the mark of Fairy Tail."
"Good for you Luigi."
"IT'S LUCY!"
Naruto looked at the two interacting with each other and a smile formed in his face. It was nice to see the newbie already fitting in with everyone. Sniffing the air, drool started to come out of his mouth and looked towards the counter where Mirajane currently had a bowl of ramen waiting for him. Sitting down he looked at the bowl like he's been starving for days.
Smiling at him, "Here you go Naruto-kun. Enjoy." She served him ramen here and there to keep that bottomless pit at bay.
Shedding tears of joy Naruto looked at Mirajane with delight, "Thank you Mira-chan. I'm so blessed to have someone who's nice to me." She always made ramen for him, what a sweet girl. Erza should take some notes. Seconds later the bowl was empty, which never seems to amaze Mirajane. Who knows how he does it or where it all goes.
"Master, Natsu's going to do something bad again."
Turning around Naruto saw Natsu march off with a scowl on his face. Yep, he was going to do something stupid again. Might as well join him, after all an idiot always needs idiot number two to tag along. Standing up and stretching his arms he began to move and saw Lucy looking at the door where Natsu just exited from.
'I'm guessing she wants to go too'
XxX
(Later that day)
Miles away Lucy, Naruto, Natsu, and happy decided to take a carriage to find Macau.
Sitting down and leaning on the walls of the carriage Happy looked towards Lucy, "Why are you here anyways Lucy?"
Looking curiously at the talking cat, which was still weird, "What? Does it bother you?"
"Aye! It does. You weight is making the carriage move slower."
"SHUT UP! IM NOT FAT!" And she definitely wasn't from what Naruto could see. Her body had curves in all the right places. Damn, Jiraiya did corrupt his mind more than he thought it did. That perverts probably laughing at him from above. Stupid perverted hermit…
"Ugh…we have to find a way to get to Macau-san." Natsu was not good with transportation. He wondered if it was just him having to suffer with these damn effects. Noticing that the carriage has stopped he smiled and jumped to his feet, "It finally stopped!"
The man who was in charge of the carriage looked like he was about to freeze to death. Naruto took it upon himself to give him a slap to the face to wake him up. "Oi! I don't need you dying on me. You should head back, we have it from here." He didn't want the poor man to freeze because of them. The man smile and turned his carriage around and continued to head back.
Lucy didn't like that idea, "Wait, how are going to get back!" before she knew it a gust of cold wind hit her and she began to shiver, "Why is it so cold up here?"
Looking strangely at Lucy, Naruto took his sweatshirt and gave it to Lucy to wear, "We are on top of a mountain, what did you expect?" Without thinking Lucy took Naruto's sweatshirt and put it on.
"Thanks, that's much better"
"MACAU! Where are you?"
Natsu took to yelling out Macau's name like he was going to answer back. It's a blizzard out here and he thinks that going to help. Whatever works for him I guess? Noticing something was wrong he looked towards Natsu, "NATSU LOOK OUT!"
Taking immediate action Natsu back flip from his current position, just in time to dodge a Balkin striking where he once stood. It had elongated chins, prolonged ears and pointed heads that resemble a single horn on top of its head. It also had gargantuan arms, and large hands that attach to its muscular torso.
Getting in his fighting stance, Natsu was waiting for the Balkin to attack. Before he knew it, it knocked him down and went straight for Lucy. Naruto stood in front of Lucy, only to get tacked away from a charging Balking.
The Balking looked at Lucy with hearts in his eyes, "A Human woman." Lucy was more surprise in the fact that it talked then the way it looked. It unexpectedly picked her up and ran away.
Dusting himself up, Naruto went towards Natsu who was pounding his fist in his palm ready for action, "Ready Naruto."
Grin appeared on Naruto's face, "You know I am."
XxX
(Unknown location)
"How did it become like this?" Sitting in the middle of some sort of cave, Lucy just keep on looking at the weird monkey running around her in circles, "And that monkey is hyper for some reason!"
"Woman." The monkey kept staring at Lucy with desire in his eyes. He was just like any other male, he like woman and it was rare to see one around here, so why not?
"WUOOOO! I FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO YOU!" Running towards them, Natsu was ready for action when he suddenly slipped on the ice and hit an ice berg face first, "Hey Monkey, where's Macau?"
"God dammit Natsu. You didn't have to run in head first. We could have attacked it when it wasn't looking you know." Naruto appeared right after Natsu's slipping accident. This kid was just like him in his younger years.
"Natsu! Naruto! You guys came to save me." Tear started shedding from her eyes. They were here to rescue her.
"Oh Lucy, How's my sweatshirt?"
Never mind…
After recovering, Natsu got up to face the Balkin, "Alright you overgrown ape, where's Macau?"
The Balkin looked at Natsu and smirked at him. He signaled for Natsu to come to him. Natsu, being who he is, went towards him. Looking over the ledge, where the Balkin was pointing at, "Where is he?" The moment Natsu's guard was down, the Balkin pushed him off the cliff.
"NATSU!"
"Me no like man… only woman."
Naruto palmed his face, 'Will it kill that kid to think for once' seriously he fell for that obvious trick. Even he wouldn't fallen for that. Looking over at the Balkin, Naruto got ready for battle. Looking over at Lucy he saw her take out one of her keys.
"Time to get serious. Open the door to The Golden Bull Palace TAURUS!"
An extremely tall, heavily muscular and athletic humanoid bull appeared. He wore a simple dark boot with lighter upper edges, consisting of three lines circling his legs, and had a red belt circling his neck, to which a golden cowbell is attached. His forearms are wrapped in bandages, and he wore brown, fingerless gloves. Crossing his chest diagonally and passing over his right shoulder is a large, plain dark belt closed by a simple buckle, to which Taurus attaches his signature axe.
Well that was impressive. It looks like he wasn't fighting this thing alone.
"Lucy you have nice boobs like always" Well what do you know it's a pervert. Why not? Everyone around him back then was too.
Ignoring his comment, "Go get him Taurus!" Taurus got his axe and charge at the Balkin ready to Strike it. Naruto made his signature hand sign when he sensed someone familiar.
"How dare you push me off a cliff?" Natsu had no idea what was going on, so when he saw Taurus he figured it was another monster. Running up to him he Kicked it in the face, "What! There're more monsters to deal with."
"Natsu you idiot, not him!" Great now one of her spirits was down for the count. Realizing something that had been bugging her, "Wait. How did you survive?"
"Oh! It's all thanks to Happy." Happy showed up on Natsus back with his wings spread. She forgot he had wings.
"Um… guys not to ruin the reunion, but we have a monkey issue." Both Lucy and Natsu were distracted by each other that they had forgotten their current situation.
The Balkin started to charge at them. It leaped in the air ready to crush them, when Natsu and Naruto extended their legs and kicked it right in the stomach. It was thrown a few feet from them. Once it recovered it started to throw snowballs, only to fail when Natsu used his body heat to melt the snow, "That won't work on fire"
Looking around the Balkin spotted an axe that was left from Taurus. Well this just got a lot more complicated. Naruto grinned and made a Cross sign with his index and middle fingers on both hand, "Kage Bushin No Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu)." In a puff of smoke four Naruto's appeared.
Lucy stared in amazement, 'So this is his magic'
The Balkin started swinging rapidly while all the clones started to surround it, "Natsu you ready!" Natsu nodded at Naruto knowing what he was about to do, "I hope you're ready for this. Let's do this guys." All four Naruto clones slid toward the Balkin, "U-ZU-MA-KI." They Kicked the Balkin into the air.
Natsu Jumped up in the air while fire formed around his leg ready for the strike, "Iron Kick of The Salamander!" The attack connected with the Balkin side causing him to crash onto the icy wall.
Natsu landed next to Naruto and they both high fived each other. Lucy looked in amazement. She could not wait until she was that strong. A puff of smoke caught their attention, the Balkin had suddenly turned into Macau. Before they knew it the wall of ice broke and Macau fell. Natsu was the first to act and ran and caught Macau's leg while Lucy caught Natsu's leg, only to begin to fall herself. Naruto was the last and was able to pull them both to safety.
A couple of minutes later Lucy was trying to take care of Macau's injury but it was too serious. Nothing was working so Natsu took it upon himself to use his fire to stop the bleeding, "Come on don't die on me"
Naruto was just watching smiling at Natsu, 'Natsu really cares for his Guild mates doesn't he'
Minutes later Macau was able to stand and his wounds were taken care of but he could still use a visit to the hospital. Naruto looked over to Lucy, "Is it okay Lucy-chan?"
Misunderstanding what he said Lucy blushed at the 'Chan suffix' and looked at Naruto, "Yea I'm fine."
A confused Naruto looked at her not understanding why she said that, "What are you taking about? I meant my sweatshirt." A punch connected with Naruto's face causing him to stumble to the ground, "Ow! What I say?" Yep same old Naruto.
XxX
After Macau reunited with his son, Naruto, Natsu, and Happy returned to the guild to relax after a harsh day. Naruto was daydreaming about the ramen that was waiting for him. Beating a Balkin who turned out you to be your guild mate can really make you hungry. Lucy went to go do Lucy things. Something about needing a place to stay. Entering the guild he immediately went to the bar to his ramen that was already made for him.
"Oh Mira-chan, no one could replace your delicious ramen. In terms of taste you make the second best ramen in the world." That got Mirajane's attention. Why was she second?
"That's mean Naruto-kun, I thought I made the best ramen." He always told her she made the best that he had tasted, it looks like someone out there is better than her, "If I'm second then whose first."
Naruto stopped eating his ramen for a second and hesitated to answer, "Just some really old friends. Nothing to worry about Mira-chan." He hated thinking about his past. He misses them so much, but they are in a better place now.
Mirajane didn't want to ask any more questions and went back to work. Finishing his bowl Naruto stood up and went to his room. He lives in the guild because looking for an apartment is troublesome. Maybe Shikamaru had something going with that word. He was the smartest man he knew. Closing the door to his room he looked around.
It was nothing special just a bed, a closet, and a wardrobe. He looked around making sure no one was in there. Taking off his sandals he went to his bed and got in a meditative pose to start meditation.
'Kurama?'
'It's been a while brat'
XxX
(Couple days later)
After a harsh few days she finally got her apartment and was able to relax. Lucy was taking a bath to celebrate, "I've definitely found a nice place" Getting out of the shower she grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body. Her apartment had a lot of space and more importantly her own room.
"Hey Lucy."
Or so she thought…
After kicking Natsu in the face she looked towards him with a scowl on her face, "WHY ARE YOU HERE!" This had to be a crime right. Hearing snore from behind her she noticed that Naruto was sleeping on her bed while Happy was sleeping on his stomach. Cute, but this was still her house and she wanted them out, "Can you guys leave?"
Awoken by her voice Naruto got happy off him and rubbed his eyes, "Sheesh Lucy-chan can you be any louder, people are trying to sleep here." A tic mark appeared on her face she was really about to pound his head this time.
"Hey what's this?" Turning around she saw Natsu holding papers that she wanted no one to touch. Quickly grabbing them, she looked at him in anger.
After everything settled down, Lucy was fully dressed. They all decided to sit around her table and sat down for tea.
"Lucy-channnn I'm hungry." Naruto had his face on the table wishing he had some ramen with him. You need awesome food to function an awesome man.
Lucy just ignored the blond. She wasn't holding a charity event here.
Natsu has always been curious about what each key that Lucy had looked like, "Lucy! Show us all your keys."
That got Naruto's attention, "Yea, I want to see all the spirits you have."
"No, that would waste a lot of my magical power" It took a lot just to summon one, "I Can show you one I guess."Getting her key ready she picked one and got ready to summon it, "Open a door to Canis Minor, NICOLA!."
"Puun!" Puun? What kind of spirit was that? A short and stout white creature with bland eyes and a golden horn-like nose reminiscent of a carrot, giving him a slight appearance of a snowman appeared.
Looking at it Natsu didn't think much of it, "Don't feel so bad."
A tic mark appeared on Lucy's face, "It's not a failure!" Picking up Plue she hugged him. It was just so cute, how could she resist?
Completing the contract with Plue, Lucy smiled at finally getting another spirit on her team. Plue looked at Natsu and Naruto and started to do weird motions, like it was trying to tell them something, "PLUE THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!" Both Lucy and Naruto were surprised that he was actually able to understand Plue. Natsu looked at Lucy and Naruto, "Okay I've made up my mind. Let's make a team!"
A Team? Now that Naruto thought of it he never thought of making a team at all. To the guild he was the weakest, but he considered himself too awesome for a team. Still, it wouldn't hurt, "Yea Lucy-chan everyone in Fairy Tail has their own team with people that they get along with. It wouldn't hurt right."
Looking over Naruto then at Natsu she smiled, "That's a good idea, let's do it."
Pumping his fist up Natsu was really pumped up, "Let's get to work then, I've already decided the mission!" Handing the paper to Lucy, she took it and started reading and her eyes grew wide.
"We just get a book and we get 200,000 jewels." She could do a lot with money like that. She kept on reading and stopped when she read something she didn't expect.
The Duke of Evaroo
Warning
This person is a womanizer, pervert, and a hentai.
Is now hiring blond-haired maiden.
She looked back at Natsu who was talking with Happy and Naruto. They tricked her and she fell for it. They are so cruel.
Looking over at Lucy, he gave her a smile and thumbs up, "Don't worry Lucy-chan, if anything happens I'll save you." Looking back at the paper she blushed and looked it over again.
'Maybe it won't be so bad, right?'
XxX
Once again, they were on the road in a carriage. Natsu was all pumped for this, now has looks like he's ready to puke his lunch.
Naruto was patting Natsu's shoulder, "Don't worry buddy, well be there real soon"
Happy was sitting on Naruto's lap while Lucy sat across from them. She was excited because this was her first job. She would not fail them, "So all I have to do is get the book right?"
Naruto smiled at Lucy, "Yea that's pretty much it. At most, you're the bait to the whole trap."
"WHAT! Why am I bait?"
"Like I said Lucy-chan, you're the key to the whole plan remember that. If anything happens, I'll be right behind you okay?"
Aww, he was comforting her. Still, she didn't want to play bait. Those nasty perverts might do something to her body.
After stopping at Shirotsume town, they started walking around. Natsu stomach started to grumble. "Let's go eat something, I'm hungry." That didn't surprised them one bit.
Naruto saw restaurant up ahead and began to walk towards it, only to notice Lucy wasn't coming.
"What's wrong Lucy-chan, aren't you hungry?"
"You guys go on ahead. I'll go around and check the town for a bit." Looking at her strangely both Natsu and Naruto made their way to the Restaurant.
Once they ordered their food both Natsu and Happy dug into their food like they haven't eaten in days. Naruto just stared at them both and got lost in his thoughts. He hoped times like this would last forever. Peace was at its best right now. Dark guilds were still around, but that didn't worry Naruto one bit. As long as his friends were safe and happy, then he was happy.
Looking down at his place he noticed that his food was gone, "Natsu, What the hell?"
Pausing from eating he looked at Naruto, "You weren't eating, so I ate it for you."
Forget it, he lost his appetite already, so it didn't matter.
"I do look good in anything."
Turning around they saw Lucy wearing a maid outfit which looked really good on her, "Hello beautiful." Naruto was the first to recover and admire her beauty. She makes that maid outfit look good.
Both Natsu and Happy started to whisper to each other about the whole 'Maid Plan' being fake.
Giving her a thumbs up, "You look cute Lucy-chan. I approve."
Well at least someone admired her beauty. It was nice having someone in the group that wasn't so dense like Mr. Pink and blue over there.
Getting up Naruto was ready for this mission, "Alright, let's get this mission on the roll."
After paying the bill, which Naruto had to do, they begun to walk to the mansion. Looking over to Naruto she wondered about his magic.
"Hey Naruto-kun, I get that Natsu's magic is a dragon slayer magic, but what about yours?"
When did he become 'Kun'? Deciding to put it off for now he looked over to her, "I can make clones of myself, but my max is ten."
She still didn't see how that was weak, "That sounds useful. How come you're the weakest then?"
Natsu decided to answer the question, "His clones get destroyed if you land a good solid punch on them." Well now that he put it that way, it does sound useless.
"I'm still more awesome than you Natsu." Crossing his arms Naruto glared at Natsu.
Steam started coming out of Natsu's mouth, "If you're asking for a fight, I'm all in for it"
Lucy didn't want a fight starting when they were so close to the mansion. Looking over to Happy, "Does this always happen?"
"Aye! Both Natsu and Naruto like to compete against each other."
Both Natsu and Naruto started racing toward the mansion to see who would get there first.
"Wait! You idiots you're forgetting about us." Looking at where Happy used to be she noticed he wasn't there anymore, "Great, they forgot me."
After catching up to them Lucy noticed that both Naruto and Natsu were arguing about who got there first. Why re they fighting now? Wasn't this mission a team effort. Looking ahead of her she noticed a huge mansion.
'This guy must be rich'
After their argument Naruto decided to knock on the door, "Oi! Open up, I'm ready to kick some ass!" Who would open the door after hearing that?
A male voice was heard behind the door, "May I have you name please?"
Natsu stood next to Naruto, "Were from the Fairy Ta-"
"SHHH! Be quiet please. Excuse me, but can you enter from the back?"
Looking very confused, they decided to listen to the man. After entering the mansion, they were greeted by Kirby Melon, who was wearing a black suit and tie with a white undershirt. He had a mustache and messy black hair. His wife, who was next to him, had black hair and was wearing a striped dress.
Sitting down Kirby looked at the mage that were sitting across from him, "Okay, Let's talk about work." After taking a deep breathe he began to speak, "There's only thing I'm asking you to do: The one and only copy of 'Day break' that the Duke of Evaroo owns… Please incinerated."
Well that was weird, they thought that they had to retrieve it, not destroy it. Naruto looked over the man and smiled, "Well okay whatever you say, were getting paid 200,000 jewels."
Kirby looked at Naruto with a frown, "No, I'll pay two million." The whole room was silent for a while.
Lucy's eyes popped out, "TWO MILLION!"
That was a lot of money that they could get. Naruto can buy so much ramen with that amount of money. Hey, he can dream right? Fire started to come out of Natsu. This was a once in a lifetime chance.
Natsu grabbed Lucy and Naruto, "Let's go guys, I'm burning with passion."
After they left Kirby and his wife were the only two in the room, "Darling are you sure about this? The last guild failed so security must have been tightened."
"I know that… I just need to remove that book from this world.
XxX
(The Duke of Evaeroo's mansion)
"Excuse me I came to apply for the blonde-haired maid position." All she had to do was become the Evaeroo's favorite and find the book.
The ground beneath her started to shake and a figure appeared from a hole that I created coming out of the ground, "A maid applicant."
Lucy was surprise and stared at the maid that had come out the ground just a second ago. She was an overweight person, with a maid dress that looked to be too small for her. Out of the hole that the made had made a man with weird clothing had come out. She guessed that that was The Duke of Evaeroo.
'He's here'
The Evaroo started to look over Lucy to see if she was fit for the position. Lucy tried her best to look as cute as she could, "Rejected, Go home ugly" What the hell?
The overweight woman picked Lucy up ready to take her away. She noticed all the other maids that the duke had and noticed that they were not the best looking girls she's ever seen.
After plan A had failed, the team was regrouped behind a tree thinking of another plan. Lucy held her knees at her failed attempt, "Don't worry Lucy-chan, he just can't see your beauty like I do." A smile appeared on her face. Naruto always knew what to say when she was feeling down.
"You're useless"
If only Natsu was the same, "It's not that! His sense of beauty is kind of retarded!"
Punching his palm Natsu looked at the mansion "Time for 'operating T'"
Inside the mansion the Duke was sitting in his throne with two dark figures behind him. He knew that that maid was a Fairy Tail mage. She didn't do a good job hiding her mark.
"Now, how do I kill the mages this time?"
XxX
Naruto and his team used happy to get to the roof of the mansion. It was better than Natsu's original plan to go through the front door.
Naruto looked at Natsu, "Okay Natsu use you fire to melt the glass so you can unlock the window from the inside."
Natsu did just that and was able to get the window open. Making their way inside they notice that they were in a weird storage room. Happy took it upon himself to put on a skull mask and started fooling around with Natsu.
"Okay Lucy-chan, let's check outside to see if there's anyone there."
Following Naruto, they slowly open the door and poked their heads out. Okay, it was all clear. The team started sneaking around the hall ways to minimize sound. They might be able to do this quietly, like a ninja.
"Intruders Detected!"
I guess he spoke to soon. Oh well, a mission without any action was not his thing. Five maids were blocking their way. Quickly forming his favorite hand sign, "Kage Bushin No Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu)." Ten clones appeared next to him.
"Natsu! Get Lucy and Happy out of here. I got this."
Hesitations for a bit Natsu grabbed Lucy and ran. Natsu trusted Naruto's ability. He may be the weakest but he could take care of a couple of maids.
Once they were gone, Naruto looked back at the maids. He had to defeat them fast because there were probably stronger enemies in the mansion. The bracelets on his wrist glowed brightly and two kunai appeared in a puff of smoke.
A smirk appeared on his face, "Let's go wild."
XxX
(With Lucy, Natsu, and Happy)
They entered a room that looked to be a library. Shelf's filled with books were all around the room. Lucy stared the room in amazement, for such a pervert he does seem to have a huge collection. It was going to be hard looking for one book in this massive library.
"I found the book!"
Looking over to Natsu he noticed he was holding the book that were looking for. Well that was easy. She would of think it would have been hidden a lot better. The floor started shaking and a figure came out. What's with these people and coming out of the floor? Was that a thing here?
"So that's what you mages were looking for. All that trouble for such a worthless book"
"So can we keep it?"
"No you can't keep it ugly."
Well that was uncalled for. She didn't need an old pervert's opinion on how she looked anyways. She opened the book and started reading it, hoping to find out what was so important about it.
"How dare you touch the book that belongs to me? Come, Vanish brothers!" The room started to shake as the one of the book shelf's started moving and opened a hidden door. Behind two to figures walked out.
"Good afternoon." The short one was the older of the two. He had his head shaved, with noticeably long, dark hair being present only on the back of it. He had a Chinese appearance to him. He wore a white tunic with black pants and light colored socks.
"These brats are the mages of Fairy Tail?" The tallest one was surprisingly the youngest. He had a blue shirt with light blue pants. He has long, dark and curly hair, that had fashion.
Happy quickly noticing the marks that they had, "Look at the cloth on their arms! They are from the mercenary guild, southern wolves!"
All the tension in the room had tuned into a stare off. The Vanish brothers, The Duke, Natsu, and Happy were glaring at each other, While Lucy happily kept on reading the book like nothing of importance what going on.
Noticing something about the book Lucy looked over to Natsu, "Natsu! Buy me some time, the book seems to hold a secret."
Natsu started kept on stretching, ready for the battle that was about to take place, "Happy, go after Lucy, just me will be enough."
Happy looking hesitant to leave looked at Natsu, "I'll be your support Natsu." Natsu didn't respond and just kept looking at the Vanish Brothers. Sighting, Happy began to fly toward Lucy's direction, "Natsu! Be careful."
The shorter brother looked at Natsu and took out a frying pan, "Flame mages are the easiest kind of opponents for me."
Natsu just stared at them with a bored expression, "Is that so?"
"It seems like the mages of Fairy Tail think that they are the strongest or something." Swinging the frying pan back, he kept a watchful eye on Natsu.
The younger brother, which was taller than the bald one, just stood there with his arms crossed, "This should be easy business, don't you think?"
Fire started to form on Natsu's hand, "Why don't you two come at me at the same time."
"Don't get ahead of yourself." With a burst of speed, the oldest brother charges and swung the frying pan hoping it would hit.
Natsu back flipped out of the way, only to be grabbed by the youngest brother and thrown toward the bookshelves. The wall immediately broke through, causing Natsu to fly into the next room. Natsu used the momentum he had and used his left arm to grab the balcony and flip to his feet.
"Damn Natsu. You look like you need help."
Turning around Natsu noticed Naruto sitting down crossed leg on top of the maids that were in a pile. He had his elbow on his knee and his palm on his cheek. He looked like he was bored out of his mind. The maids must have been really weak if he was able to beat them that easily. Naruto stood up a notice the two brothers that were standing on the second floor staring at them.
Naruto stood up and cracked his knuckles,"Well I guess break time's over. Time to kick some more ass."
Looking towards Naruto, " I can do this on my own you know, I don't need your help."
Scratching the back of his head, " I know you don't, but what's a little help here and there."
Unsure of how to respond, Natsu just nodded his head and got in his fighting stance. Naruto charged at the bald one, kunai ready in his hands. Jumping up in the air he tried a kick, only to be blocked by the huge frying pan. Landing on the ground, he immediately threw the kunai at him.
After quickly blocking the kunai, the oldest brother put his pan down ready for Naruto's next move, but he was nowhere to be found.
"Come out brat, I know you're out here." He wasn't about to let his guard down. A puff of smoke caught his attention, and before he knew it a fist collided with his face.
"That's right baby, Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Jutsu) for the win." Having a shadow clone throwing him, in kunai form, actually worked. Hopefully it would keep that bastard down. He didn't use any chakra, but he still hit hard without it.
Looking over at the bald brother he didn't see him get back up. Well that was a boring match.
Turning around Naruto began to walk where Natsu was fighting. Quickly dodging an incoming frying pan he looked back at the older brother, "I knew that punch wouldn't take you down that easily. Ready for round 2?"
With a scowl on his face the oldest brother began to swing his frying pan like crazy.
'Who does this brat think he is? He's nothing compared to me'
Naruto was just dodging every slash that came at him. It looks like without his younger brother as backup he had no one. They both relied on each other to watch on another's back.
Tired of dodging, Naruto quickly charged at the brother and jabbed him, only for the brother to dodge. Naruto continued his barrage of punches only to fail each time. It looks like baldy wasn't all talk at all. Hopefully Natsu was having a better time than him.

(Natsu vs. The youngest brother)
Natsu covered his fist with flames to make his attacks stronger. He just wished he could land a punch on the guy, "Dammit stop moving around and let me hit you already!"
The younger brother continued to dodge and begun to laugh, "Now where would the fun in that be?"
Seeing an opening the younger brother jabbed Natsu in the face forcing him to fall back a little. Jumping into the air Natsu's feet started to engulf themselves in flames, "Fire Dragon's Claw!"
Eyes widening, the younger brother knew that if that hit him it would cause him a lot of damage. Quickly jumping out of the way, he covered his face to block it from the debris that flew at him once Natsu's attack connected with the ground.
'I better not let any moves like that make any contact with me.'
Natsu ran towards the youngest brother and roundhouse kicked him, only for it to be blocked. Defying gravity Natsu swung his other leg and begun to spin around in midair, causing the younger brother to retreat back. Fire started forming around Natsu and a tornado of fire headed toward the younger brother.
The younger brother leap into the air and pushed himself off the ceiling and strike Natsu as he was spinning. Before he could get to his feet, a punch connected to his face followed by a kick. Natsu tried his best to avoid some punches but his defense wasn't enough.
Getting tired of getting his ass kicked, Natsu fell backwards only for his hands to catch him and balance him. He began to spin his legs around and switching his hands in a break dance motion. Fire immediately burst around his legs, burning the younger brother's arms.
"Fuck that hurt you bastard." His arms had burn marks now.
"What did you think it would feel like?" This battle was going on for too long. Natsu had to end it.
Out of nowhere Naruto came crashing through a wall. Well it looked like he wasn't doing any better than he was.
"You Fairy Tail mage's aren't nothing big. You're all talk after all" It was time to finish this fight, "Come brother lets end this once and for all. A united attack!"
The younger brother got on the frying pan, "Heaven and Earth Extinct Slaying Attack!" As soon as that was said, the younger brother was thrown in the air.
"If you look at the Heavens!"
Both Natsu and Naruto were focused on the brother that was in the air that they didn't see the frying pan hit them both.
"We are both down on earth!"
Natsu and Naruto started to get annoyed at this point. They knew they were stronger than them.
"If you look around on earth!"
Before they knew it the youngest brother struck them with both of his hands. They had forgotten that he was still up there.
"We are up here in the heavens!"
The youngest brother got behind his older brother, "That was our Heaven and Earth Extinct Slaying Attack! No one has ever survived that."
Laughter immediately started to come out of Natsu and Naruto. Really? That was their strongest attack. That attack couldn't hurt a fly. If that really their strongest, then those brothers didn't stand a chance against them.
"That's impossible. That was supposed to be the ultimate finishing move." This wasn't supposed to happen.
Getting to his back on his feet Naruto began to form a strange blue orb. Natsu has never seen that before. Naruto was only known for his clone magic.
"Natsu, I need you to combine your flames with this sphere."
Getting his senses back Natsu grinned at Naruto, "Okay, let's go"
Naruto began to charge toward the two shocked brothers. Natsu stood behind Naruto inhaling some air for his move.
"Fire Dragon Roar!" A large quantity of fire was released out of Natsu's mouth towards Naruto.
The Sphere was able to rotate the flames into itself and turned red. The oldest brother saw an opportunity to use his move.
"Flame cooking!" His pan is able to absorb any type of flame and shoot right back at them.
Naruto extended hit arms and as soon as it made contact with the pan the flames where absorbed into it, but the sphere kept on hitting the pan.
"Rasengan!"
The Rasengan shredded through the pan, and both brothers were blasted with the sheer force of the attack. The blast obliterated the pan and forced both brothers to be blown into the wall.
How come Naruto had never used that move before? It was really powerful and he was sure he wouldn't be known as the weakest if he pulled that move out.
Naruto looked toward Natsu and scratched the back of his head, "I think I overdid it." He didn't mean to pump that much chakra into his Rasengan. He just wanted to finish them off quickly and get this troublesome mission done.
Both Natsu and Naruto looked around for any more enemies. They ignored the damage that they caused. It was a normal thing for Natsu since he usually destroyed tings everywhere he went.
"Natsu help me tie these maids in case they decide to try any funny business."
They started to tie the big one first since she would cause the most trouble for the two of them. A bright light appeared and before they knew it they disappeared in a puff of smoke.

(With Lucy, A couple minutes earlier)
Both Lucy and Happy have been facing The Duke and his magic to… dig. Weird right?
"Open! A door to crab, Cancer."
In a puff of smoke a man wearing a striped shirt and black pants appeared. He had six crab legs on his back and hair that resembled crab claws.
"What kind of hair style would you like today, Ebi?"
"Can't you see the situation right now?" Was he really going to give a haircut in a situation like this?
Meanwhile, The Duke was trying to figure what was written in that book that could be so important. It might be something about his illegal business that he runs. If any of that got to the council or he was doomed.
The Duke took out a key, "Open! A door to virgin!"
Happy was shocked that The Duke had a celestial key, "He's the same as Lucy."
The overgrown maid that Lucy saw when she was dressed as a maid appeared again. She was a stellar spirit?
The Maid looked over at The Duke ready for her orders, "How may I help you master?"
Lucy noticed two figures that were on Virgo, "Natsu! Naruto! What are you guys doing?"
The Duke's expression turned into shocked, "Why are you on Virgo!"
Both Naruto and Natsu were hanging off Virgo. The only thing they were holding was the rope they tried to tie her with.
Naruto tried his best to not let go of the rope, "See I told you she would be trouble if we didn't tie her."
Natsu started to shake while still holding on to the rope, "Lucy what should I do?"
The Duke was getting frustrated with the situation, "Virgo! Get rid of all the nuisance, Quick!"
Naruto and Natsu kicked Virgo on the side of her stomach causing her to fall. Thinking quick, Lucy grabbed The Duke with her whip to ensure that he doesn't do his digging magic. Such a lame magic. Swinging him into the air, Cancer took this opportunity to cut The Duke's mustache before he hit the ground.
Naruto stood up and cracked his back, "Man that mission was a drag."
XxX
"I can't believe that we busted our Tails and didn't even get paid"
Lucy started complaining the moment they left Kirby's house. Natsu suggested that they don't get paid because they didn't complete their mission, meaning that they failed. Failed mission equals no reward.
This sucked, now she's going to have to work more mission if she wanted to keep living in her apartment.
Natsu Looked at Lucy with a strange face, "I knew it…"
Curiosity got the best of Naruto, "Knew what?"
Natsu had a devilish smirk on his face, "Those papers that I found in your room. It's a story you wrote isn't it."
That got her attention, "D-Don't tell anyone about, Okay!?"
"There's nothing to be ashamed of Lucy-chan. I write stories too." There's nothing bad about writing and who knew maybe she just put herself down. Her stories could be decent if anything. There no reason to be shy.
Natsu held his stomach in laughter, "You? Write? That's a joke, right Happy."
Happy was laughing along side of Natsu, "AYE!"
Naruto started to pout, "That's mean. I really do."
Lucy walked over to Naruto and pinched his cheeks, "Kind of Hard to believe you Naruto-kun. Writing doesn't seem to be your thing." With that she walked ahead of him along with Natsu.
But-but he does. How come no one ever believes him? Does being weak really have that effect on people around you.
This sucked….

(The Dukes Mansion)
The Dukes library was mostly destroyed except for a few bookshelves. If one were to take a closer look, they would spot a certain special book that The Duke has collected over the years.
A certain orange book…
Hopefully you guys enjoyed the first chapter.
This is my first ever story so don't expect a master piece out of me.
