He didn't know why, and how he was in this place. But he knew that he had to protect the one he love's the most. Erza...
She was the one who captured his heart, he and her suffered equally from the Zeref worshiping members. And now, Sho believed he figured a way out. But now, we face our judgement because we got caught in the middle of an act of escaping, this godforsaken tower.
"Heheh, so... who did it?" One of them said as he played with his whip. "I feel merciful today so I'll let you all go, except. The one who was the mastermind, behind this escape." The man giggled sadistically as every man and child feared them.
"I did it!" Jellal said as he showed bravery beyond any of them as the guards looked at him.
"I believe... she did it. Didn't she?" The sadistic man said as he pointed at the red head.
'No! I can't allow that!' A blonde boy said as he gritted his teeth.
He passed the other guards with unbelievable speed as he raised a fist and punched the man square in the jaw.
"You damn brat!" The man took the blonde by his head and threw him as he repeatedly kicked him, mercilessly. He felt no mercy for this unforgivable little runt as he kicked him with all his strength. Some were on the kid's face, others on his stomach.
"No... please stop! Naruto!" The crying little redhead begged the guard as everyone began to cry.
"Now, now. We don't want restless slaves to build the tower. Do we?" A man's voice was heard as he appeared at the site.
Jellal noticed the man's suit and tie as he also seemed to have a black cane with him.
The man looked at the blonde figure that sat on the ground. He took off his monocle, as he looked at the boy.
'What manner of magic is this!?' The man's eye's were widened in inhumanly way as he looked at the boy with droplets of sweat dripping from his face. 'This boy...' The man thought for a while as he soon regained his refined posture.
"Take the boy to my chambers." The man said as the guards looked at him in wonder. "Do I have to say it again?" He gave them a stare as they soon recollected themselves and carried the boy alongside the man.
"Nooo! Please don't!" The redhead begged yet again as tears flowed down her face. Her friends held her in spot as they didn't want anything more bad to happen to them. Jellal wondered who that man was, and where they were going to take Naruto to.
"Erza, I'm sure Naruto will be fine. Let's just hope that he won't be too injured." Sho said while crying as he felt regret for even planning this.
Naruto sure as hell knew he wasn't in the disciplinary chamber. He felt the warm heat from the fireplace as he looked at his surroundings.
"My, my. You sure are a big surprise, hmhm." He looked around and saw a regal looking man sitting on a chair.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked as the man stood up.
"I should be asking you that." The man circled the boy as Naruto felt unease in his presence. "First, I hear of an act of rebelling, and then I come and see a young man dashing through each guard like the wind." He crouched down to Naruto's level.
"How do you have it?" The man asked as Naruto was confused. "Have what?" Naruto did not understand what he was saying as the man grit his teeth.
"Don't play dumb with me!" The man gripped a good amount of Naruto's hair. "How is it that you have so much magic! Tell me!" The man yelled as he was jealous. He was the sacrifice for the great Zeref. He thought after all the years of hard work, he could finally be the key to the resurrection of his master.
But now, this boy who had been in the tower since infant had more magic than even he had.
"I-" "Since, you want to act rebellious then your blue friend can go to the disciplinary chamber."
"Nooo!
A figure rose up from bed as he took deep breaths to calm down his beating heart. He looked in the mirror as his spikey blonde hair seemed to fall down a bit. His nightmares were beginning to be more frequent than before.
*Sigh* "It's just a dream." Naruto thought as he shook his head and looked at the clock. 'Crap!' He wore his middle sleeved black coat, underneath he wore an unbuttoned brown shirt with the zipper open to show his chest. For his leg and feet, he wore loose combat pants on with steel-tipped boots.
He checked himself in the mirror and walked out of his room.
"Yo! Boss!" A young man said as he looked at Naruto in admiration. Everyone looked at him in a smile as he smiled back.
"Let's take a job together, boss!" The young man said as Naruto looked at him with a smile. "Arthur, I'll do a mission with you when you're able to land a hit on me." Naruto brimming with confidence said as Arthur just puffed his cheeks and walked away.
"I got a mission for you, honey" A seductive voice was heard across the HQ as a pair of womanly hands wrapped around Naruto. Making him unease. "A-Ah, Ann." Naruto said as the woman named Ann showed him a mission.
"It want's you to watch over a guild." Ann said as Naruto soon had a serious look. "What is the name of the guild?" Naruto asked as Ann thought for a moment.
"Oh! Yeah, it's Fairy Tail. The one where your love of your life is in." Ann said as she pouted. She knew that Naruto still didn't forgot about the red headed female as it was all Naruto ever thought of in his days of relaxation.
'W-what?' Naruto widened his eyes as he did not expect a mission with Fairy Tail involved. He wondered what sort of trouble they were giving the land of Fiore as he also struggled in his mind if he should go.
He always thought that Erza should go find someone else, not a monster like him...
"Ahh, that was a great fight we had." A pink haired mage said as there were a few more mages with him.
"I'm just glad that we made it through all that, you know with Lullaby and all that." A blonde woman said as she sighed in relief. "Natsu, Lucy, Gray and Erza." An old man within their group said as the named mages looked at him.
"Is there a problem? Master Makarov?" Erza asked as Makarov looked at them with hope. "This team sure will become the greatest, Fiore will ever see." Makarov said as Natsu had a smile on his face and Gray smirked as he looked at the sky. Lucy and Erza looked at him in surprise before smiling as well.
As the day passed by and a new morning arose, Lucy Heartfilia was getting ready to go to the guild as she was headed to the door of her house. "Lucy! A man came to the guild!" Gray got inside Lucy's house by the window as Lucy just deadpanned.
"Use the door!" Lucy said as she soon stopped in her anger as she saw the most serious face ever. "W-what's so so special about this 'man'?" Lucy asked as Gray soon started to sweat.
"You don't get it... this man, He's the leader of the most infamous organization in the world. The Pentaghast!"
Everyone was huddled in a circle as they were all silent. A newcomer came to the guild, and right when Natsu and Erza were gonna fight.
"It's been a long time... Erza." Naruto said as he smiled at the woman. She had matured tremendously.
"N-Naruto..." She said in a thick voice as she couldn't believe it, the blonde who was in the tower of heaven... her savior, was here.
Naruto knew how Erza felt, he was feeling the same thing. He walked inside the circle as Natsu looked at him in suspicion. He went up close to Erza as she was a little surprised.
"So? How you've been?" Naruto asked as he gave her his smile that she knew all too well. 'Naruto...' She thought as tears started to fall down like rain.
Everyone else looked at them in wonder as they wondered who this person was to make Erza the Titania, cry.
"Hey~, don't go crying on me here." Naruto said as he hugged Erza tightly as possible. He smelled her beautiful scent that hadn't changed for ever, neither would he want it to.
"I-I don't understand? Why did you finally come here?" Erza asked as she looked up at Naruto as he seemed to be looking at all the other members of Fairy Tail.
"Strong…" Naruto said without thinking as Erza raised an eyebrow.
"W-what?" Erza asked in a wondering tone as Naruto finally looked down and noticed how close her face was to his. He pulled back in surprise as Erza was even more confused.
"Ah… I'm saying your friends are really strong." Naruto said as Erza didn't understand. Naruto put his hand to his heart. "Inside…"
Erza now knew what he was saying and smiled as she nodded. Making Naruto smile again.
Lucy and Gray finally got past all the member's and came to the front of the circle as they looked at the blonde in wonder.
"Wait? So he's the Phantom King?" Lucy whispered to Gray as Naruto seemed to have heard her whisper.
"If you want to ask a question about me, then just ask." Lucy jumped back in surprise as her eyes popped out inhumanly.
"That was way too close!" Lucy said as she put a hand to her chest to calm down.
Naruto gave his mischievous smirk as it captured the hearts of a few girls. "Anyways… Erza." Naruto looked back at her as Erza responded with attention.
"I want to see how strong you've become. But maybe we should go to a more less populated land." Naruto was about to teleport both him and Erza as she was surprised a little but gladly accepted it as she changed into her heavenly wheel armor.
"We'll have none of that." Makarov said as Naruto noticed the small old man walk past the members that gave him space.
"Naruto Uzumaki… or should I say… Naruto Royard , of the House of Royard." Makarov gave him a stern face as Naruto narrowed his eyes.
"That's not my last name anymore." Naruto said as his happy face came back. "It's Naruto Uzumaki." The blonde said as Makarov still had his stern face.
"Will you come to my office?" Makarov said as Naruto looked somewhere else.
"I think that will have to wait." Naruto said as Makarov gave a confused face until some of the mages were shoved to give space to some walking frog.
"In order of the mage council, with the destruction of properties and lands of Fiore. The ten wizard saints, hereby arrest Erza Scarlet." The frog said as he read it from a scroll, with the mage council's stamp.
"What!?" Natsu yelled as he was about to attack the other soldiers but was soon knocked out by Erza.
"Gray, take him back inside the guild and make sure he doesn't come after me." Erza said as Gray nodded and took the sleeping Natsu back inside the guild.
"If your gonna take her anywhere then I'm coming as well." Naruto said as the frog noticed the blonde and remembered who he was.
"If that is what you wish." The frog bowed as Naruto smiled.
"I don't like all the bowing down, so please don't." Naruto said as the frog understood. They soon headed to the place where the ten wizard saints would be as Naruto got up to date on what's been going on with Erza's life.
"Wow, so you guys defeated Lullaby, a demon created from Zeref?" Naruto asked as Erza nodded. "Wow! I'm so jealous!" Naruto said as he wished he could have fought a demon like that.
"I don't think you would be. It was the main reason why Fairy Tail is in trouble again." Erza said as she enjoyed having Naruto back in her life. She truly didn't want him to leave, and even hoped he may…
"Head into the hallways and you'll see a door. That's where all the wizard saints are." The old frog said as he left them in peace.
"Thanks!" Naruto said as he waved the old frog a goodbye.
"Come on, Naruto. I have to go and see them." Erza said as she took lead as Naruto soon noticed and followed her.
"Naruto… what have you been doing? I mean, what did you do after all… that." Erza said as she didn't want to relive that horror.
Naruto raised an eyebrow as he looked up in thought as he hummed. "Well… I've been fighting, quite a lot after all that happened. I found a master after a brawl, and he had a disciple with him. I've learned some awesome things from him and I don't think his other disciple liked me that much." Naruto said as he had a sweat drop from all the stares and narrowed eyebrows he got from him.
"Don't tell me you've been gang fighting or anything like that." Erza said as she had a scolding tone which Naruto never knew she had. But it still did the work as Naruto raised his hands in defense.
"No, not anything like that. I've just been taking missions and requests by people from all over EarthLand." Naruto said as Erza huffed in relief.
"My, my. If it isn't the famous Phantom King." A blue haired man walked near to them as Erza stopped dead as her hair shadowed her face.
"Is that you Jellal!?" Naruto said with his goofy smile as the man shook his head.
"I'm sorry Naruto-sama but I'm just his twin brother, Siegrain." He said as Naruto thought for awhile.
"Really?..." Naruto said as he put a finger on his chin. Siegrain didn't like how this was going as he reached down to Erza as he whispered something to her.
"Make sure you don't tell them about 'that'" Erza was dead silent the whole time Siegrain was there as Naruto thought she may be close with this twin brother of Jellal.
He pulled out a red Popsicle and started eating it as Siegrain soon disappeared to reappear with the other ten wizard saints.
"So? Should we go?" Naruto said as he spread his right hand sideways to the door. Erza nodded as she went inside, facing the ten most powerful mages of Earth land.
"Eh, why is he here?" The wizard saints all knew about the infamous Naruto Uzumaki
"Wooh, each of you guys sure look funny." Naruto said while eating his Popsicle. His main interest seemed to be with an old man with features of a cat.
"Ah, Erza Scarlet, you are here because of the damages your guild has done to the land of Fiore. We ask that you stop this mass destruction that your guild has done." One of the wizard saints said as Naruto looked bored.
"I have a question." A purple haired woman said as the speaker was surprised but let the woman speak as she came forward.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Ultear said as she looked at him in disdain. She didn't like whatever the blonde was radiating with. It made her uneasy just being around him.
"We can speak about this in a later time. Right now, we are focusing on Erza Scarlet and her charges." The chairman said as Ultear bit her lip.
"You know, you should keep that frown off your face. It looks ugly on you." Naruto said as Ultear couldn't believe the arrogance.
"I have come! It's me Erza The Monster!" A massive hole was created from a wall as a bad replica of Erza came in.
"Come arrest me! I'll destroy all of you!" The other Erza started playing with a sword he got as Naruto just laughed as the other Erza embarrassed the real one as she gave Natsu a chop on the neck. Knocking him out yet again.
"Oh, god." Lucy said as she had a sweat drop on her forehead. 'That idiot is going to get us in even more trouble!' Lucy thought as Makarov and everyone else was silent. They knew that Natsu was already there or halfway there to Erza's location.
"You got to admit it though, that kid sure has a heart of gold." Naruto appeared before them as they all were in shock.
"W-what?!" Makarov said as he woke up from his nap.
Erza, and a sleeping Natsu appeared next to Naruto as everyone soon began to relax. They all surrounded them as they asked questions of what happened and to Erza, who was the blonde.
"Old man, I think we can finally have the talk you wanted." Naruto said as Makarov nodded.
"So? Care to tell me why you have come?" Makarov said as Naruto made himself comfortable in his chair.
"I don't ask why and who in my guild." Naruto said as Makarov had shadows over his head.
"I'm not playing around, I am serious!" Makarov said as he knew this boy, the boy who had made an infamous name around all over Earth land. This blonde, wouldn't come here if it wasn't for a perfect good reason.
The old man had veins popping out as his light magic radiated all over the room.
Naruto gave himself a smile as he looked at Makarov.
"Old man… Even you should know not to mess with the Phantom King."
Makarov felt the ominous power radiating from the boy, his magic level was like a tsunami. Able to wash the old man away with just a wave.
'What kind of magic is this!?'
