Sky Devil Slayer
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Fairy Tail
Chapter 4
The duo walked in the woods looking for something to burn…that wasn't human of course. Naruto just wanted to keep Natsu away from the brawl despite Natsu wanting to join in the fray.
Natsu was looking around enthusiastically while Naruto walked at a slower pace behind him. "You are really looking forward to finding a test subject aren't you?" Naruto asked as Natsu turned around to him.
"Hell yeah" The dragon slayer said happily. "I can't wait to see how powerful it is on a Vulcan or whatever else is here"
Naruto stopped walking as did Natsu. "Do you smell that Natsu?" He asked the young fire dragon slayer.
Natsu nodded. "Yeah I do" He said before blinking. "Hey how can you smell like me?"
Naruto grabbed Natsu and jumped into the air. "I'll tell you later" He said as he flew over towards the smell.
Once Naruto landed and placed the dragon slayer on the ground Naruto crouched and gestured for Natsu to do the same.
"What's happening?" Natsu asked as the blonde looked at him before looking straight ahead.
Naruto frowned at what was ahead and out came a large bipedal creature with multiple small volcanoes on it, the creature was a brownish-green and it looked slightly humanoid except for the fact it resembled a large Vulcan in height.
"What's that?" Natsu whispered as Naruto got closer to Natsu to make sure the younger mage wouldn't get hurt.
Naruto's frown was still on his face as he glanced at the creature in front of them as the small volcanoes let out a pale green colour fog that smelled repulsive. Natsu held his noise as Naruto endured it as he was used to…similar smells.
"That Natsu…is a demon"
Natsu gasped at what the older mage said. "Are you sure?"
"Sadly I am" Naruto said. "That is a demon of Zeref, a very weak minded one though but still powerful"
"What do you mean by weak minded?"
"The demon while created by Zeref is a lower common one presumably made as cannon fodder, test subjects or created before Zeref got more serious and more knowledgeable of creating demons"
"What are we going to do?"
"I'm going to slay it while you stay here" Naruto told the small mage. "I still can't believe a demon of Zeref is this close to Magnolia"
"What? All by yourself"
Naruto gave Natsu a brotherly smile. "I'm an Exorcist Mage Natsu, taking care of demons is my specaility"
Natsu was silent for a while before he spoke up. "…Be careful"
"Don't worry, I'll be careful" The Exorcist replied.
Naruto using his wind magic boosted his speed and appeared behind the demon of Zeref. The demon of Zeref turned around as soon as Naruto appeared behind it only for it to get a kick to the face.
"Argh" The demon yelled as it fell to the ground. "Pol…"
Before the demon could get back up it was kicked again by the Exorcist Mage. "I should really finish this quickly" Naruto said as the demon stood up quickly.
"Pollute!" The demon cried its own name. The small volcanoes on its body released the horrible gas and Naruto watched as the grass below started to decay and wither.
Nauto made a gust of wind around the ground where he and Natsu were to prevent the fog from spreading towards them.
Pollute roared as it charged at Naruto and swung one of its fists. "Mist Body" Naruto said as turned into mist and reappeared elsewhere. "I better be careful to not let those clouds merge with my mist" He said to himself as the demon created more fog.
"You are really annoying you know that right?" Naruto asked the demon who continued.
Pollute then charged once more while releasing the gas as Naruto clapped his hands together. "Magic Wind Palm" Naruto said as released a destructive tornado at the demon of Zeref.
Pollute cried in pain as it slammed into the ground hard as it left a crater while Natsu who was watching was in awe at how easily Naruto was handing a demon of Zeref despite it being a low level one.
Pollute stood up as it turned its head slightly towards the hidden Natsu. Pollute started to release the gas towards the young fire mage as Naruto frowned.
"I won't let you do that!" He shouted as the wind pushed the gas away while Naruto was flying towards the demon.
Naruto's voice was quiet and soft and yet held anger towards the demon as he called out his next attack. "Sky Devil's Whirlwind Punch" Naruto said as wind surrounded his hand, there was so much wind you couldn't see his fist. It was like a mini tornado.
As the punch connected to Pollute's face it was sent flying through a tree and into the side of a small cliff. Pollute gave a weak cry as the demon was barely clinging to life.
"Wow" Natsu said.
"Hey Natsu…do you want to try out that wind powered flame?" Naruto asked as Natsu nodded quickly and full of excitement.
Natsu clapped his two hands together above his head. "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame" Natsu said as he threw the large fireball.
"Magic Wind Palm" Naruto said as he clapped his own hands together as he released a tornado.
The large fireball grew in size and speed as it approached the demon of Zeref. Pollute weakly glanced up before its head fell down slightly as it struggled to move, the fireball was easily bigger than the demon and the wind fuelled fireball consumed the demon.
As the fire burned away Naruto used his Wind Magic to cease the flames. Pollute's body was now ash and after confirming that the Zeref's creation was now destroyed Naruto walked over to Natsu.
"Are you okay?" Naruto asked as he checked Natsu over. "You didn't inhale any of the gas did you?"
Natsu shook his head. "I held my breath" He said as Naruto gave a sigh of relief.
"That's a relief" Naruto said with a smile. "I'm sorry you had to see that"
"Huh? Why?"
"Nevermind let us get back to the guild" Naruto said as he turned around and let Natsu climb onto his back. As Naruto took off into the sky his thoughts drifted back to the demon. "I will have to inform the old man about this"
Naruto landed in front of the guild as Natsu climbed off his back. The two entered the guild and it seemed that the brawl had ended it went back to normal.
Naruto ruffled Natsu's hair. "Go play with your friends, I'll see you around Natsu" Naruto said as he left as Natsu waved goodbye.
"Hey old senile man with a back problem" Naruto said as he approached the small man.
Makarov's eyebrow twitched at being called an old senile man with a back problem, he sighed and looked at the Devil Slayer. "Hello to you too Naruto"
Naruto's face then turned serious. "Master, we need to talk"
Makarov's eyes widened at how serious Naruto had become and the fact he called him master proved it. "Let's go to my office"
Naruto nodded and faded away as he called his spell. "Teleportation"
Makarov sighed. "Show off" The old man muttered before heading off towards his office.
Once there Makarov looked at Naruto who was waiting patiently. "What is the matter Naruto?" Makarov asked.
"When I was outside with Natsu in the woods nearby Magnolia we encounter a demon of Zeref" Nauto told the third guild master.
Makarov's eyes widened at the information as Naruto continued. "Natsu is safe and the demon destroyed" Naruto told the old man. "What I do fear was why it was so close to Magnolia"
"That is concerning" Makarov said. "I will inform the council, thank you for telling me this"
"I hope that no more demons will come closer to the towns" Naruto said as Makarov agreed with a nod.
"Hey Naruto"
"What is it old man?"
"We have a new member who had joined the guild recently, his name is Mystogan" Makarov said. "Can you help him settle in?"
"Yeah, of course I can" Naruto said.
Makarov smiled at the young man. "You should really make a team Naruto" The senile man added as Naruto left the room.
"I'll think about it" He replied.
Naruto's body turned into mist as it reformed behind someone wearing a dark blue cloak and his arms and legs were covered in bandages, he was also wearing a dark blue bandana with a silver forehead protector, and a green mask that obscured the bottom half of his face. He had a Magic Stadd on his back which was held by a dark green strap going across his body.
"Hello" Naruto said causing the kid to jump slightly. "You must be Mystogan"
"Yes" Mystogan said as Naruto smiled.
"New to the guild huh" Naruto said as he noticed Mystogan's getup but didn't question it. "Names Naruto"
"It's nice to meet you Naruto" Mystogan replied politely.
"I'm here to help you settle in" Naruto said cheerfully. "I hope we can be good friends"
"Thanks" Mystogan replied as Naruto held out his hand and Mystogan grabbed it. "I hope so too"
"Seems like you just came back from an adventure" Naruto noted as Mystogan nodded.
"Yeah, I was travelling with a friend" Mystogan said.
Naruto nodded and gestured Mystogan to follow him. The masked mage watched as Naruto picked off a page from a board.
Mystongan then followed Naruto outside. "You may already know what these are but just in case you don't I still going to explain it"
"So I have no choice but to listen to it" Thought Mystogan as Naruto told him that they were jobs.
"They're jobs now let's go" Naruto said as he started to leave the guild.
"Go? Where are we going?" Mystogan asked.
"On a job of course" Naruto said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I see" The masked mage said as he followed the blonde.
After leaving a fair distance between where they were and Fairy Tail Naruto turned to Mystogan. "You can take off that getup now" He said as Mystogan flinched.
Naruto sighed. "I'm not going to do anything to you" He told the masked mage. "Just…show me your face"
Mystogan pulled his bandana and green mask down to show that he had a symbol on his face and blue hair.
"I assume you are hiding your appearance from one of our guild members" Naruto said as he got a closer look. "Judging from Erza's description, you look like Jellal"
Mystogan was about to say something as Naruto continued to talk. "However, you don't have any Magic Power"
"How did you know I am someone else?"
"For starters I used my own Magic Power to connect with yours but you didn't have any" Naruto said. "And you're not obsessed with building an R-System"
"But don't people who can't use magic don't have any magic power?"
"Well only ten percent of the world's population is able to use magic" Naruto said. "But every mage has a container inside their body and it is filled by Ethernano"
Naruto looked at Mystogan. "Now Misty, where is yours?"
Mystogan sighed. "I assume Erza has a problem with Jellal?" He asked as the blonde nodded. It took a while for Erza to open up to the blonde and when she did she felt a weight lifted off her shoulders as Naruto told her it wasn't good for her to hold things in and that they were practically family as they were in the same guild. "Well, I am not from this place. I come from parallel universe called Edolas, in Edolas we cannot use magic as Ethernano is not stored in our bodies but they could be stored in our magic objects" Mystogan said as he pointed to his magic staff.
"My real name is Jellal and I am the prince of Edolas" The prince said knowing he could not lie to Naruto now.
"A prince, well Jelly why is a prince here?" Naruto asked as Mystogan blinked at the nicknames.
"My father opened up something called the Anima, a spell that steals magic power" Mystogan told the Exorcist. "My father used it to conquer other regions and expand his kingdom as he grew mad with power. I came here to close any portals he opens"
"That is pretty noble of you Misty" Naruto said before his face turned serious. "But you forgot one thing"
"W-What's that?" Mystogan asked.
Naruto stared at the newest member before breaking into a smile. "You can't do it alone"
"Huh?" Mystogan intelligently said. "Wait, but it's my…"
"…responsibility?" Naruto finished for him. "You joined Fairy Tail so that means you are family and family always helps each other"
"You're going to help me no matter if I say yes or no are you?" Mystogan asked as Naruto nodded.
"Now Misty we should do this job" Naruto said as Mystogan followed the mage in front of him.
"What's the job?"
"We are going to take care of a Wyvern" Naruto told the younger mage.
"A Wyvern, isn't that a bit much for a new mage?"
Naruto just laughed. "Nah, its fine" He said. "Sure they are ferocious, draconian creatures but we should be fine"
Mystogan had a shiver go up his spine. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"
Naruto turned his head and smirked. "That's because…" Naruto spoke as he drew it out making Mystogan lean in. "…We are fighting an Elder Wyvern"
Mystogan fell onto the floor before getting back up and pointing at the Exorcist. "An Elder Wyvern, a new mage shouldn't fight that!" Misty shouted. "Why did you drag me to fight a Elder Wyvern if you knew I had no Magic Power?"
"Don't worry I'll be helping you" Naruto said. "I just want to see how strong you are"
Mystogan stared at Naruto who ignored him. "Jelly, you need to fight strong opponents, especially those far stronger than you" Naruto said. "Even though you are a new mage and have no magic you can still be strong and become stronger"
"Even if you lose against a powerful creature, the experience will help you in the end to become even stronger" Naruto said as the blue haired Edolas mage looked at Naruto in wonderment. "Even a person who can't use magic can beat someone who can if they work hard enough"
Mystogan watched as Naruto continued walking, the blue haired mage from Edolas smiled as he had a look of respect when looking at the blonde mage. "I'm glad that I met someone like you" He thought as he heard Naruto's voice.
"Hey Misty, come on!" Naruto said as he was further down the path waiting for him.
"I'm coming" Mystogan said as he walked towards Naruto who waited patiently for him.
Once Mystogan caught up Naruto continued walking. "Since only your magic stave has magic, what magic does it have?"
Mystogan grabbed his staff that had a round ring at top and a part of it was covered in bandages. "This allows me to use different types of magic, I haven't actually tried it yet since me and Wendy never encountered something hostile"
"Wendy? Is that you're travelling companion?" Naruto asked as Mystogan nodded.
"We travelled together for a while" Mystogan said. "Then we went our separate ways"
"Really, gone your separate ways?" Naruto repeated. "I don't think I believe you Misty"
Mystogan sighed. "I took her to a nearby guild at the time to protect her while I deal with the Anima portals"
"You should visit her" Naruto said as Mystogan turned to face him. Naruto seeing Mystogan turned to him continued talking. "You are friends right? Friends should visit each other"
"…Maybe…" Mystogan said. "But…she'll probably think I ditched her there"
Naruto placed a hand onto the Edolas counterpart's shoulder. "I doubt she think that, she probably knows that you are trying to protect her" Naruto said. "This Wendy doesn't sound like someone who would hold contempt. You should go talk to her once in a while"
"…"
"You don't need to do it now nor should you listen to me, I'm just saying that you should see her again after all you are friends" Naruto said.
"…Thank you, I'll see her again when I have the time" Mystogan said as Naruto smiled.
"Then let's go take care of a Wyvern" Naruto said as the two continued on their way to meet with the Wyvern.
An Elder Wyvern is much larger, stronger, faster, deadlier, older and much more experienced that a regular Wyvern. They are considered even more of a threat than regular Wyverns due to how strong they could become.
Mystogan followed Naruto into a forest with large trees. "Welcome to the Forest of Monsters" Naruto said to Mystogan.
"Why is it called that?"
"It's because all the strongest creatures in Fiore gather" Naruto said. "I don't know why but they do"
"And you think the Elder Wyvern would be here?" Mystogan asked.
Naruto nodded. "The job request said that they saw the Elder Wyvern land in this direction" Naruto continued walking into the forest. "And besides if it is not there…you can fight all the other ones" Naruto smiled at Mystogan.
Mystogan stared at Naruto. "No" Was the only thing the mage said as Naruto just laughed.
"So Naruto what's your magic?"
"Well in a nutshell it is basically the sky and its variations" Naruto told his companion.
"So you have multiple?"
"I do"
"Isn't it hard to use more than a few?"
"No, not really, it mainly depends on the person though" Naruto said. "But then again my magic is technically the same element so it's quite easy for me"
Naruto stopped walking as did Mystogan. Mystogan turned to see what Naruto was looking at, a cave. "Get ready" Naruto said as Mystogan felt the ground rumble underneath him.
As the rumbling of the ground got louder and louder, a giant Wyvern came out of the large cave entrance.
It was an Elder Wyvern.
The Elder Wyvern roared as it looked down at the two Fairy Tail mages. Naruto and Mystogan got ready to fight when suddenly the Elder Wyvern charged.
