The Armoured Mage

"Really? A fat guy rejected Lucy and had a fetish for hairy gorillas? Lucy that may have affected the confidence of your sex appeal." Naruto laughed while Lucy glared at him. Naruto became aquatinted with Lucy after she got her guild mark. Soon enough he heard from everyone on how she, Natsu and Happy brought back Macao Conbolt to his son. Afterwards they did a request in which they helped a man get back a book though they did not get the money because of some circumstances.

"Everyone! This bad, really bad!" Loke a handsome mage that many girls chased after and resident playboy arrived out of breath.

"Loke what's wrong?" Naruto asked who saw the really serious expression his friend had.

"E-Erza has returned!" That did it. Everyone began panicking from that outburst including Naruto began running back and forth.

'The She-Devil has arrived!' Naruto thought in fear of one the guild's fiercest mages, The Titania Erza Scarlet! "Men and women switch to defensive positions now!" Soon enough everyone in the guild cleaned up their messes and all now tried to act casual though they were all sweating.

"What's with everyone Mira?" The attractive blond asked the equally attractive white haired woman who simply answered her.

"One of the guild's best has returned and that she is usually strict concerning the rules, not to mention Naruto pranked her once and had to eat through a straw for a while." Lucy saw a beautiful red haired woman wearing armour whilst carrying a jewel covered horn.

'She's beautiful! Why are these guys afraid of her?' Lucy naively thought

"I have returned. Where is Master Makarov?" Asked or rather demanded Erza Scarlet, the woman known as Titania.

"Welcome back Erza. Master is in a guild master's meeting." Said Mirajane with a smile.

"What is that Erza?" A random guild member asked her and she turned to him.

"It's the horn of a monster I defeated. The local were so grateful that they decorated it. Is that a problem?" Erza replied to which the member frantically shook their heads hoping not entice her wrath on them.

"I see well it can't be helped then. Now everybody listen up!" Everyone became tense when she said those words. "I've been hearing some news that Fairy Tail has been causing nothing but problems lately. Master Makarov may not care but I most certainly do."

"Cana please control your drinking. Veetjir please take your dancing outside, Wakaba quit that filthy habit! Nab I suspected you'd be there, pick a job already. Macao!" Erza sighed.

"Please just say something!" Macao desperately asked, as well as the others being chewed out.

"I don't know where to begin with you guys? You give me so much grief." Whilst she was ranting Lucy asked no one in particular that she was tearing into everyone but she was still saner than most of the people here.

"It's like she's taking over." Lucy stated with Happy replying "That's Erza for you."

"Are Natsu and Gray here?" Both men were in a side hug and smiling even though their smiles were looking creepy.

"Hey there Erza, just me and my good buddy Natsu hanging out. Right Natsu?" Lucy was shocked at what she heard next.

"Aye."

'WHY IS NATSU TALKING LIKE HAPPY?" Lucy thought in confusion.

"I see very glad that you guys are getting along. However it's not unusual for even the best of friends to lock horns once in a while. So Naruto did you behave yourself?" Erza turned towards the blond mage who was taking a seat.

"You know me Erza, I am always at my best." 'Please tell me Gramps didn't tell her about that!?' Naruto is a brave man but even the mightiest would fear Erza Scarlet.

"Good to hear. Natsu, Gray I need your assistance on a mission." The guild went silent, Erza was asking for help!

'Erza asking for help, must be serious.' Naruto thought on while hearing Mirajane comment on how this could possibly Fairy Tail's strongest team.

"Naruto I could also your help." Now most of the members fainted.

"Scratch that, now it is possibly the strongest team in all of Fiore." Mirajane once again stated knowing that each of them are infamous for causing destruction and all four together could cause a cataclysm.

(At the train station)

"So why are you here Lucy?" Naruto asked her curiously to which she replied Mirajane asked her to make sure that Natsu and Gray don't duke it out when Erza isn't looking. "Not doing a good job then are you?"

"It can't be helped, their persistent and I don't see you doing something Naruto?" Naruto's answer was something that Lucy confirmed her suspicions on.

"That's because Erza would beat me up if she saw me fight with those two and I want to live." Erza arrived in which she got aquatinted with Lucy, believing she beat the Vulcan that took over Macao.

"Hey Erza I'll help you out on one condition." Natsu asked Erza.

"Oh and what is that?" Everyone was confused at what the pink haired man wanted.

"You face me when we get back to the guild, one on one." Natsu declared to which Erza agreed to his terms. They all went towards a train to travel to their destination, a place where they will meet

'Natsu you are one stubborn fool, no wonder she liked you.' Naruto began to remember a young girl that looked a lot like Mira, this was Lisanna Strauss who died two years ago in an incident. 'Lisanna, it took your death for me and Natsu to forsake our animosity.

"Good luck Naruto. You can do it!"

"Naruto. Naruto!"

"Huh? Oh sorry Happy I was deep in thought." Naruto then looks at him giving him a weird look "What?"

"You were deep in thought. You never do that and it's scary." Happy stated though now he grabbed by Naruto who gave him a noogie before a voice stopped him.

"Happy's right Naruto. Thinking isn't your style." Naruto turned to see his faithful companion Kurama the nine tailed fox grinning at him. "Hey! Kurama you bastard I was looking for you. And what do you mean mangy fox? At least I don't fall asleep everywhere I go!" Naruto was awaiting for Kurama's reply but then he saw a snot bubble from the fox's nose and face-palmed to the ground.

"Naruto come on we need to get moving or else Erza's gonna kick your ass." Gray stated while Naruto straightened up and roughly picked up the sleeping fox but afterwards he saw stripping half way.

"Gray you're stripping again." Gray looked at himself and jumped up before putting his clothes back again. Gray gave Naruto another look that said 'Not another word' before he went back in again. "Almost forgot, can't afford to get motion sickness while riding the train. Secret Dragon Slayer Art: Therapeia!" Naruto covered himself with blue energy then it disappeared.

(In the train)

"So Erza what's the reason you asked for us specifically?" Naruto questioned, even though he isn't the smartest individual he knew that Erza had some reason for their inclusion in this mission.

"Very perceptive Naruto. You're right the reason I asked you to come is because from my visit at the previous town I heard rumours of a Dark Guild known as Eisenworld plotted to take an artefact from Onibus Town." Everyone looked at her in confusion.

"What kind of artefact?"

"An artefact of Zeref, the Demon Flute Lullaby."

Meanwhile within the same train a pineapple haired man was walking while smirking. 'Soon Lullaby will be in our possession."

End it here for now. Sorry for the long update a little busy these past few days. Below are stats for Natsu, Erza, Lucy and Gray but I would like to stress that one thing. Right now Naruto is at Gray and Natsu's level though he can hold his own against someone like Erza and is still not S-Class. After the Lullaby arc I was thinking of making Naruto have his own arc so it coincides with canon alongside the Galuna Island Arc.

Secret Dragon Slayer Art: Therapeia-A Sea Dragon Slayer Spell that gives the user immunity to motion sickness for a while.
