Hey there everyone this is SoulRe4per here with the second chapter of the project, i hope you guys give this one a good read.

I've read at least a few reviews and i'm kind of liking the good comments i'm getting so far, even from bloodracer, so as long as you guys look forward to more stories, I'll keep going.

Okay now, onto business, I've thought about what i was going to change overnight, and made up my mind on certain parts, here's a small list of it.

will develop his style, using more taijutsu with his kenjutsu, making him a bit unpredictable when dealing with enemies, I like to keep him as the most unpredictable and surprising Ninja in the village.

2. He will use all elements in this story, since Kyuubi's power went to Tsubaki, it's like give him a blank slate to build up on, so as Luke went on the adventure and going to places where certain Elemental Fonons were most concentrated, he unknowingly absorbed the Fonons, basically making him and Elemental power house much later in the story.

3. Naruto will keep the name of Luke until he finds that Asch is alive once more, i'm still thinking of how to bring Asch back, anyway Asch will be reluctant to take it, but eventually will take his real name back as they become closer.

Okay that should do it for now, now without further ado Let's get started.

The Red Haired Noble
Chapter 2
Naruto's Return

Eldrant

It was finally over, they defeated Van.

Now they stand in front of the man, whose arm was morphed to use Lorelei's power, on his knees.

They all felt a sense of victory; however it seemed Luke was compelled to say something.

''Master Van'' Luke yelled.

''Stop it... you fool... after all that has happened you still call me master...'' Van said wincing from the pain.

Van was Luke's sword instructor and mentor in his early life. Due to certain circumstances, Luke's lessons on the outside world were a bit stunted largely due to the Duke's wife Susanne Fabre, because of her over protectiveness and bad health, they had to take precaution to make sure Luke learned as little as possible so to keep his curiosity in check.

Van was in charge of teaching the Redhead about the outside world and made sure to prepare him for it, even if it was to his own means.

No matter what how much Van had done to humanity, he was still one of Luke's first and best friends. And throughout his adventure, he taught Luke one last lesson, that he was more than just a replica, that he was his own person.

''Yes i still call you master, even it for one last time'' Luke said, pausing for a moment he continued.

''Despite everything you've done to us and humanity, i can't forget the fact that you were my teacher and best friend, even if it wasn't real to you, it was real to me, you taught me everything i know, you always cheered me up when i was getting tired of my boring life , you comforted me when i was going through hard times, you like a big brother to me along with guy, in all retrospect i practically owe a great debt to you, if things were different i could have paid you back for all of it, even though my first was of repaying you is now gone, i still plan to repay you for everything you gave me'' Luke paused once more and smiled.

''From now on we will change this world for the better, from now one for me and for everyone else, Fate or Destiny do not control us, it will be what we make it, we will make sure that people know what it's like to live their own lives made by the own hands, that how i intend to repay you...Master your vision is still alive, we will see it through, in our own way.'' Luke finished.

Van for once since the destruction of his home, smiled, he smiled in happiness and gratitude for Luke's words, he sat up on to his knees.'' Forgive me everyone, Forgive me...my brethren'' he said as he began to fade.

But not before he heard Luke say'' Master Van...I... I forgive you, and thank you.''

As the group stared at the spot where Van was, they all felt that the whole ordeal was over. All except for Luke.

Alright you guys get out of here, I'll stay here and free Lorelei.'' Luke said

''Luke!'' Tear called out worriedly

''Tear...it's my promise to Lorelei, i have to do this'' Luke said.

As he said this, the group looked at him in shock. That is until Jade walked up to him and extended his hand.

Luke, how you've changed''.

''Jade...'' Luke said.

''I still remember the selfish brat that would complain over the smallest of things. But i guess- no i know that's not you anymore, I've watched you grow little by little as we traveled together, but what you've said just then not too long ago, i must admit that you have surprised me, I've seen just now that you have grown much more than i had originally thought'' Jade said with a real smiled on his face his face quickly turned serious.

''However remember that no matter how much you've changed not all of which will be forgiven, like Akzeriuth. No one will forgive you for that. That is why you must come back alive, to make up for what you've done. Or rather...I hope you do.''

Jade...Shut up.'' Luke said

''Sorry'' Jade said with his smirk

It was then that Guy came over to look and struck on his arm.

''I'll be waiting...its lonely being a servant without a master.'' Guy said

Hey i'm not your master anymore'' Luke said

So, just because i'm no longer a servant in the manor, doesn't mean i can't still serve as your friend.'' Guy said.

''You're being stupid'' Luke said with a small smile

''So hurry back home, I'll never forgive you if you just disappear''.

Luke was surprised at this. During his journey, he had used his hyperresonance to clear the world of the miasma, leading to the deaths of thousands of replicas, and saving the lives of the originals. However, even though Asch, his original, who died in order to give him time to defeat Van, helped him, it only delayed his death.

''Heh you knew huh?'' Luke said

''When you come home i'm gonna teach you to not hide things from your friends'' Guy said, Luke smirked a little.

Guy was a little put off by the remark but quickly dismissed it.

It was then that Anise came and hugged him''

''Anise?'' Luke asked

''I knew to, I wasn't as sure as Guy but...''Anise said

''What are you talking about?'' Luke asked

''Hee hee, you're an easy read, But I have to have you come back alive.''

''You're not expecting me to...were not... Luke was beginning to say''

''No no, I'm going to reform the order for Ion.''

Ion... one of the first people on the outside world who was nice to Luke, as well leader of the order of Lorelei. He died after Mohs made him read the score, and extracted the miasma from tears body.

Anise continued. ''But in order to do that, I need a patron. So come home.''

''Alright i will try'' Luke said

Then Natalia came to say her words.

''Luke...live...please. I don't want to lose any more people dear to me.'' She said.

''Natalia'' Luke said.

''Not to protect Kimlasca, to live your life, understand?'' Natalia said.

''I wanted to live.'' Luke said

''you will, you cannot disappear. You cannot''

''Thanks''

''Master!'' Mieu yelled as he jumped up and down.

''Your job is done now. Go home, and be proud of what you did.''

''I'll be waiting for your return master.'' Mieu said.

''Thanks Mieu'' Luke said with a smile.

Finally it was Tears turn. But as she approached him she seemed very hesitant. Then she finally faced him.

''Come home.'' She said on the brink of Tears.

''Tear...'' Luke said surprised by Tears reaction.

''You have to come home, I'll be waiting...always'' She said.

''I will. I promise... I'll come home.'' Luke said.

Tear then started to walk away, but as she did, she said something so soft that only luke and herself could hear.

''Luke... I love you.''

(Play tales of the abyss Ost-mirrors)

As Eldrant began to shake, Luke waved goodbye to his friends. Once they were out of sight, Luke then took the sword or Lorelei and stabbed it into the ground, turning as if it was a key. As he did so a Fonic glyph formed underneath him as the sword started to dissolve into light. The glyph lowered Luke like an elevator, as Eldrant was falling apart. He then looked up to see Asch falling; he quickly caught the body not wanting his body to be more broken than it is now.

Orange light started to form around the both of them, coming together to form the aggregate sentience of the seventh Fonon, Lorelei.

''So the world did not vanish, to think the future i foresaw would be rewritten. You have done admirably'' Lorelei said. ''However it's seems as though that your mission is not finished''.

''Huh?, what do you mean?'' Luke asked.

But Luke did not get an answer, as Lorelei flew into the sky to join the Fon Belt. As this was happening Luke looked down and saw Asch beginning to disappear, as Asch finally vanished, he himself also began to disappear, first his hands then his legs soon he completely vanished leaving nothing but the lingering Fonons of Luke Fon Fabre.

On the outside, all the people witnessed Lorelei flying into the sky.

(End Ost-Mirrors)

Purgatory

White that all Luke could see, There was nothing to seem for miles, he began to panic, quickly looking around for a way out until a voice spoke in his head.

''You need to calm down young one.'' The voice said

Luke jumped at the noise, he looked around but found no one there, he decided to follow the voices advice.

''Good, now focus in front of you, and use your hyperresonance.''

'Hyperresonance again?, geez I swear i feel like that's all i'm using these day.' Luke thought.

Luke concentrated on the space in front of him, willing himself to a hyperresonance, as his hands glowed, he aimed his hand at the space in front of him, suddenly out of nowhere a portal opened.

''Good, Now through that portal is your home.'' The voice said.

''Is Batical beyond here?'' Luke asked.

''No, beyond there lies your true home'' The voice said.

This confused the redhead.

''What do you mean my true home?, What about everyone else, i have to get back to them'' Luke said as he began to panic a little

''Do not worry young one, all will be explained in due time, your friends will informed of your situation, very soon they will you will see them again'' The voice saidcalming theredhead down. ''Now quickly, go through the portal, there isn't much time.''

Have no choice Luke began walking through the portal before he stopped.

''Wait, who are you anyway?'' He asked

''My name is...Yulia Jue. Now go.''

'Yulia Jue, i could have sworn I've heard that name before' Luke thought, He couldn't ponder on this any longer however as he was pushed by an invisible force through the portal.

Above a lake in Wave country

When he was through, he found that he was in the air, free falling toward the ground below. Now Luke is a brave man, but when you're plummeting towards the ground at extremely high speeds, you're going to be scared.

As he screamed, he didn't seem to notice that he was slowing down, a yellow glow began to surround his body slowing his descent, He finally noticed the light just as he lightly touched the ground.

'What was that light?' He thought, however he quickly noticed his surroundings and found himself in the shore of a lake.

''Okay, now i know Batical doesn't have lakes anywhere near it'' Luke said to himself.

He was a little scared by also fascinated by that fact that this place was something you would never find on Auldrant. But it was still begging the question.

''Where the hell am i?''.
