And we're back with a new installment of Son of the Primordial Dragon. We seen Naruto managed to actually make Mirajane take her first job in over two years, and find the Daybreak book. Enjoy the next chapter.
Walking back into the guild Naruto released a frustrated sigh. It was like this every single time he went on a mission with Natsu. He was just glad that they didn't do any major damage besides him burning down the man's house. "So how'd it go?" Mira asked as he sat down at the bar.
"As well as you can expect when you have Natsu go on a mission with you." Naruto replied to her.
"Oh that bad huh?" she asked.
He gave a shrug "Well it could have been worse. He wanted to just barge in through the person we were supposed to take an item from and destroy everything." Naruto told her.
Mira nodded her head "That's Natsu for you. But then again I remember someone else used to be just like him before a certain incident." Mira said with a chuckle.
He gave a blank expression to the woman "I thought we agreed to never bring that up Mira." Naruto told her.
Mira sighed at this. Ever since the accident Naruto had lost that spark of life that made everyone else around him smile. Sure he joked around with the others, but he never really made an effort to give a true smile anymore. Mira knew of this mask since she had seen it form when Naruto had lost the love of his life those two years ago. The only time he truly smiled was when he saw something that was worth truly smiling about which was very rare to see like when they went and got Macao back for little Romeo. That was one of the things that made him smile with a true smile.
"I know but I will continue to remind you of what you were once like until you become like the old you once again." Mira told him.
Loke then ran into the guild breathing hard. "I-it's Erza she's back everyone. Erza's back." Loke said. Immediately everyone started to make the guild nice and clean while Natsu and Gray wrapped an arm around the other's shoulder.
Lucy walked over to him with a confused look on her face. "What's suddenly gotten into everyone?" she asked.
Naruto looked to her "Oh it's normal. Erza Scarlet our beloved Titania and Queen of the Fairies is quite strict and acts as an enforcer when the Master is gone. What you're seeing is quite tame to the several times I've seen her go bezerk when someone *Cough* Mira *Cough* destroyed her beloved cheesecake." Naruto told her.
"Not like you're any different when it comes to your ramen noodles." Mira muttered.
He glared at her playfully "Oi I'm not that bad." Naruto said as Mira giggled.
"Oh don't say that. We all know you are twice as bad as Erza is when someone spills your ramen." Mira said.
"Wait this I gotta hear. What does he do when his Ramen is spilled?" Lucy asked.
"I remember this one time a couple months ago that Wakaba spilled it during one of the brawls and he got so mad he unleashed one of his dragon roars." Mira laughed.
"Mira don't you dare speak anymore." Naruto said.
"Oh really which one did he use? Was it his Ice Dragon Roar or was it something else?" Lucy asked.
"It was his Dust Dragon Roar." Mira said while Naruto banged his head down on the counter mumbling "Mira is so mean to me." the entire time.
"Really? What is this Dust Dragon Roar like anyways? I think I saw him attempt to use a technique called the Dust Dragon's Dismantling Pillar or something like that." Lucy said.
"Uh huh His "Jinryū no Genkai Hakuri: Hashira (Dust Dragon's Detachment of the Primitive World: Pillar)" is one of Fairy Tail's most dangerous elemental spells. It was taught to him by the most powerful dragon to have ever been born. At least what we think to be the most powerful dragon besides the fabled Acnologia. Only Naruto knows it and believe me when I say that several people have tried to duplicate it without any success. But his "Jinryū no Hoko (Dust Dragon's Roar)" on the other hand is a thousand times more powerful than his primitive world pillar." Mira said to a now shocked Lucy.
"D-did he really use something like that on an ally?" Lucy asked the laughing Mira.
"Oh yes he certainly did. But the roar did more than just hit Wakaba." Mira said.
"W-what did it do? Don't tell me he's dead?" Lucy asked.
Naruto sat up and glared at Mira "If you think of telling her I will kick your butt Mira." Naruto said to Mira, but she ignored him.
"No Wakaba is still alive, but Naruto's Dust Dragon Roar disintegrated half the guild hall because he was so mad." Mira said.
"D-disintegrated what kind of element has that kind of power to disintegrate half a frigging guild hall?" Lucy asked.
The sound of something heavy being set down along with a feminine voice caught her attention. "Naruto's Dust Dragon's Roar is no ordinary element. The only reason it has the power to do so is due to the fact that it is made of three separate elements that are simultaneously combined before it is released." the voice said.
"T-three d-different e-elements?" Lucy asked and the newcomer nodded.
"Yes. I'm Erza Scarlet." Erza introduced herself.
"Welcome back red." Naruto said to her.
"Yeah thanks blondie." Erza said as she turned around and started to yell. "Even though the Master doesn't seem to care about what you do to the guild I do." Erza said as she pointed at a man sitting at a table.
"Nab pick a job and get to work." she said before she then looked at another man. "Wakaba stop smoking it's bad for your health." she told a man with a cigar in his mouth. "Cana don't drink so much it'll cause problems later on." she told a brunette sitting at a group of barrels before she turned to Elfman. "Elfman not everything has to be manly so don't say man after every sentence." she told Elfman before she turned again.
She then looked at Macao "Please say something. Your silence hurts more than your words." Macao said to her.
"Welcome back from Mt. Hakobe." was all she said before she turned to Natsu and Gray who both had one arm wrapped around the other's shoulder and holding hands as if they were going to shake. "Are the two of you behaving yourselves?" she asked them. The two nodded their heads quickly to her.
"Yes mam we've been good." the two said together as she turned back to the bar.
"I heard what happened on your last job. It's good to hear that you've let loose and act like your old self." Erza said to him.
"Eh it's just something that happens every once in awhile." Naruto replied.
"Wait I'm still stuck on the part that his Dust Dragon's Roar is made up of three elements." Lucy said.
Erza looked at the blonde celestial wizard "You must be new to the guild if you didn't know what the Dust Dragon's roar was made of." Erza said.
"Well I just joined a week ago so yeah I don't know anything about this place except for what I've read in the Sorcerer's Weekly." Lucy replied.
"Well then welcome to the guild. And if you must know Naruto's father was Raiun the Primordial that should help you figure out some of his past." Erza told her.
"Thanks but I was just curious as to how he knew so many dragon slaying elements?" Lucy said.
"To be honest nobody except for myself and Master Makarov truly know of how many elements I know. And no I'm not telling or revealing any of them unless I have no choice." Naruto said.
"We're off track I have something that you need to hear Naruto." Erza said as he looked at the redhead.
"Ok what do you got for me this time red?" Naruto asked her getting a scowl from her.
"I heard something on my way back when I defeated the monster who's horn I brought back. I need your help on something." Erza told him. This caused people to start whispering about how the fabled Titania of Fairy Tail needed help.
"And why would you need my help red?" Naruto asked.
"I was in a pub getting a drink so I could relax a little when I overheard two men speaking about an ancient artifact known as Lullaby." Erza said.
"Lullaby as in one of the demons of Zeref that Lullaby?" Naruto asked her and she nodded yes.
"Yes that is the one." Erza said.
"And you need my help because..." Naruto said trailing off.
"Because I need you in a team to track down the ones who stole it. Unless you want the Master to be killed by the damned thing." she said making him look at her.
"Alright I'm in, but we're going to need two more people to come along besides Cyclone." Naruto told her.
Erza nodded at him. "Thanks Naruto." she told him getting a nod from him.
Naruto then turns round and stands up before taking a few steps away from the bar "Gray get your stripping ass over here now." Naruto yelled out.
Slowly Gray walked over to them before he stood in front of them. "Yeah Naruto." he said to the blond.
"You're coming on a job with me and Erza tomorrow and there are no excuses as to why you won't be able to come with us. Now Lucy will come too so we can get her a little extra cash as I kinda owe her for the last job we went on together." Naruto told him. Lucy just looks at him in shock but nods a couple of times to show she understands him. Naruto walks back over to Erza and sits down.
Erza looked at Naruto with a raised eyebrow "So why is she coming with us? You hardly let anyone besides Natsu, Happy, Gray, or me or even Elfman out on missions with you. I know Cyclone is going regardless as he is your best friend like Happy is for Natsu, but this is new." Erza said.
Naruto looks at her "Lucy will come so we can get her a bit of extra cash as I owe her quite a bit for the last job we went on together." Naruto told her simply and she nods. Mira was mumbling about the new team and how it could be one of the strongest since the founding of Fairy Tail.
"Alright we got a team now we just need to prevent the people that want to kill the guild masters from reaching their goal." Erza said in a better mood than before.
The next morning the newly formed team had arrived at the train station with the sole exception of Erza. "Oh I'm so going to regret this later aren't I?" Naruto asked Lucy who could only shrug as she never worked with any of them besides Naruto before.
The train slowly pulled in while Erza came walking up to them. Lucy gawked at the sheer amount of it causing Naruto and Cyclone to chuckle at her reaction. "Are we all ready to go?" Erza asked. Gray and the others nodded yes to the redhead showing that they were. Before they boarded Naruto tapped Erza on her shoulder getting her to turn around.
"Yes Naruto what is it?" she asked.
"After this I want to see if we can still rival each other. So how bout when we get back we have a friendly spar in which afterwards Natsu will challenge you then I say something to distract him and you lay him out. You know I think he actually has gotten a bit stronger since you kicked his ass three years ago." Naruto told her while she nodded to him.
"Alright I'll think about it. Now let's go." Erza said as she boarded the train.
When they had started to move Naruto turned a bit paler as he tried to hold in his last meal. Lucy looked at Naruto and sighed "You know I kinda feel sorry for you Naruto." Lucy told him but he just waved it off with a weak motion with his hand.
"It's alright this isn't as bad as it would be for other dragon slayers. In fact I have it easier than they do in more ways than one." Naruto told her.
"Well then allow me- Erza started to say but Naruto shook his head no.
"I know what you're about to do Erza and I won't fall for it like Natsu would." Naruto told the redhead.
Lucy looked confused. "What do you mean?" she asked
. "Oh usually when Naruto or Natsu travels with her, Erza knocks them out. Well Naruto quickly learned to say no to her unlike Natsu since that flame brain still falls for it." Gray explained to her as he tried to hold back his laughter.
"So Erza tell us why someone wants to kill the old man and the other guild masters." Naruto said looking at the redhead.
"Alright here is what I overheard as I was coming back. The dark guild Eisenwald has stolen the ancient item called Lullaby from the vault of the magic council. I believe it was a man named Erigor the Reaper that killed all the guards before he stole the evil thing from it's place of cotainmnet." Erza told them.
"Lullaby. What's Lullaby?" Lucy asked.
"It's a dark and ancient magic. Legend has it that Lullaby was created by the Dark Wizard Zeref four centuries ago. It has the ability to use a death magic spell called The Death Song." Naruto told her as she nodded in understanding.
"That means we need to find these Eisenwald flunkies and stop them before they can reach the guild master's meeting and use Lullaby on them." Gray said while Erza nodded.
"Yes it also means if things turn for the worse you'll be up first Gray." she said as he nodded.
Lucy then gained a curious look "If you don't mind me asking you this then may I know what kind of Magic do you guy's possess? I know Naruto and Natsu possess Dragon Slayer Magic but aside from them I know nothing about you." Lucy told them.
Gray rubbed his chin with a hum and then looked at her. "Well I guess it wouldn't hurt for you to know that." he told her.
"Yeah I guess that since we are working as a team we should know our teammates abilities." Erza agreed.
"I have the ability to use Ice-Make Magic. But I also discovered a few years ago that I had the ability to use Demon Slayer Magic when Naruto tried to melt me with a Steam Dragon technique in a spar." Gray said.
Lucy was shocked. So that was a third Dragon Slayer Element that he could use, and if she was guessing right then the hotter the steam the deadlier.
"And if you must know then yes the hotter the steam the deadlier. I once had the privilege of watching him dissolve an entire group of lizard-men with a single attack." Gray told her as she yelled out "YOU CAN ALSO READ MINDS." but he ignored her.
Erza cleared her throat gaining the blondes attention. "My magic is known as one of the easiest, but one of the most useful ones called Requip Magic. It allows for me to store many useful items and other assortments of things in a pocket dimension for safe keeping so that I can use it later on." the redhead told the female blonde.
"I uh I'm a Celestial Spirit mage." Lucy simply said to them.
"You know in my personal opinion I think that Gray's magic is much more flexible than mine." Erza said as th said man grinned.
"Oh so you mean something like this?" he asked as he made the symbol for Fairy Tail out of ice in his hand.
"Yes that is exactly what I mean." Erza says with a humored voice to the Ice Wizard.
"You know I think I understand why you and Natsu have never gotten along since I joined the guild. I mean now that I think about it with you being ice and Natsu being fire it was simply saying that you and him used opposing elements that made me understand why." Lucy said as he nodded.
"Yeah and unlike Natsu, me and Naruto get along just fine. I mean why wouldn't we, we both use a ice element and he has helped me create some devastating attacks if I ever needed them." he told the buxom blond.
"So Naruto can you please tell me how many elements you can use?" she asked.
"Fine if you'll just shut up and quit asking me." Naruto said to her. "Everyone in Fairy Tail knows that me and Natsu were raised by dragons. What they don't know is that my father Raiun was bred to kill. More specifically he was bred to kill Acnologia the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse. He has the ability to use the five basic elements of nature due to his lineage. He can combine these elements to create a sub-element as I like to call them." Naruto told her as she nodded her head.
"What sub-elements can he use?" she asked him.
"Well he can use Ice as you seen me do. He can also use Lava, Iron, Scorch as I like to call it, Steam as you just learned, he can use Explosive which is good for certain battles, and Storm which allows him to manipulate the weather. And last but not least is the most powerful element which you learned at the guild... Dust." Naruto told her.
"What elements do you use to make these -exactly?" Lucy asked him.
"Well for Ice he would combine Water or Sea Magic with Wind or Sky. For Lava it takes a combination of Fire and Earth Magic to make something like actual lava. For Scorch it takes a combination of Fire and Wind or Sky Magic for me to use. For Iron it takes me a combination of uh... huh I don't remember if it took a combination or not but I'll think about it later." he said as he rubbed his chin.
"Now for Explosion Magic, which by the way I hardly ever use as it is dangerous, uses a combination of Earth and Lightning Magic. Steam Magic is made through the combination of Fire and Water or Sea Magic hence the name Steam. And next is Storm. Storm uses the combination of Water or Sea Magic and Lightning Magic so that I can use it. And as you already know I have to combine regular elements to make my sub-elements." Naruto told her.
"And what about Dust? What combination does it use?" she asked him as he scratched the back of his head.
"It is actually more complicated than the regular tier two elements. Dust is what many would call a tier three elemental magic." Naruto said causing her to gasp while she thought, "What? There is more than two tiers for elemental magic?" a bit scared now.
Naruto then sat up a bit so he could explain better "You see Dust is my most powerful combination due to the combining of three elements. By combining Wind or Sky Magic with Fire I create Scorch. But when I combine Earth with the Scorch Magic it infuses the power of Scorch with Lava and allows for me to destroy things at the molecular level with either a powerful beam of light or with a cube that can trap my opponents in and then detonate within and if I so choose kill them." he said.
"Are there any more elements that you can use?" Lucy asked him.
"If I did I wouldn't tell you. Reason why is we all have to have our secrets." he told her as she nodded.
When the train stopped in Onibus Station they got off the train which soon departed to head to the guild master's meeting. "You think that these Eisenwald fellows are still here?" Gray asked Erza.
She shrugged at him showing she didn't know. "Don't know, but then again the only way we can know is if we go looking to find out." she told him.
"Hey uh guys I think we have forgotten someone." Gray said.
Naruto looked around to see who could have been left behind and saw that Cyclone wasn't there with them. "OH MY GOD WE LEFT CYCLONE BEHIND!" he exclaimed as he turned around and started to chase after the train. When the train continued to out pace him he decided he needed to speed up he lit his feet on fire and used the flames as booster rockets to quickly catch up with it before it suddenly turned away and quickly outpaced him once again.
Erza and the others quickly caught up and stopped the train where Naruto quickly re-boarded and found a napping Cyclone in the seat he had fallen asleep in. He also saw a weird and creepy looking skull flute with three eyes stop rolling beside his feet. "Huh? What is this?" he asked nobody in particular.
"That would be my flute." a voice said from behind him.
"Oh uh yeah sorry it's just I've never seen one with such a design before. Which means I'm not giving this evil looking thing back to you. It is now in my custody sir good day." Naruto said seriously as he then began holding it up to look at it better.
"Careful bub I'm with the Eisenwald guild and we don't take kindly to things of ours being taken." he said.
"Oh so I was right in thinking that this was Lullaby?" Naruto asked mockingly. "You know I too am from a guild. It just so happens to one of if not the most powerful guild called Fairy Tail. You know I think it would be best if I destroyed this demonic thing so it doesn't hurt anyone." Naruto said.
"You better not you Fairy scum." the man said angrily.
He then heard the loudspeaker announce that the emergency stop was a false alarm and they would continue in a moment. "Oh crud. Well I'll see you later." Naruto said placing the flute to his forehead and giving a mock salute before he jumped out of the window with both Cyclone and the demonic flute in hand as the train began to move forward once again and was soon out of sight.
Cyclone woke up groggily. "Ugh where are we? Did we arrive at Onibus yet?" he asked.
"Buddy we're way past Onibus by his point. You know I was curious as to why it was so quiet on the train and I guess we accidentally forgot you." Naruto said to the cat.
"What! How could you forget the one person-"Cat" Naruto stated-that's been there with you for everything?" he asked.
"I'm sorry but the good news is we have Lullaby in our possession now." Naruto said as the rest of the group walks up.
"So you managed to find him that's good news." Erza said as Naruto walked up to her.
"That's not all. I obtained Lullaby from one of the Eisenwald flunkies as well. We need to make sure it stays out of their hands so could you put this in your requip dimension thing?" he asked the surprised redhead.
She nods and with a small glow it disappears from sight. "We managed to get a magic vehicle so we could catch up with you." Erza told him.
"And by that I am guessing you mean stole it." he said as she nodded. "Good that means we just need to outpace them and reach the guild master's before they do and people get hurt or worse they get killed by some idiots." he said as he climbed up on the machine and attached the SE plug to his arm.
"What are you doing I was the one who was driving." Erza said. "We need to preserve our energy as much as possible. With me having the largest amount of magic it is best if I were to drive." he replied.
"What about your motion sickness? You know Lisanna would never let you drive thanks to it right?" she asked him as he gave a small glare.
"Well Lisanna isn't here anymore which means that I'm able to do things that I normally wouldn't be able to so get in already." he said to her.
Complying with the now frustrated blonde she got in the vehicle with the others and Naruto started to drive to the guild master's meeting quickly. Lucy was curious about something so she turned to the others. "Hey can I ask you guys a question?" she asked.
"Technically you just did but yeah sure go ahead ask away." Gray said.
"Who is this Lisanna that Naruto and Erza were talking about before we left a few seconds ago?" she asked as they tensed up a bit at the name.
Cyclone sighed as he tried to ignore his memories of him and his friend with his girlfriend while Erza and Gray just sighed. "Lisanna... Lisanna was once Naruto's girlfriend." Erza said honestly.
"Oh really? I never knew Naruto dated anyone before. Actually I take that back I thought that he was with Mira when they started hanging out at the bar before they left on that one mission a few days ago when I first joined you guys." she said before she looked at them and asked another question, "So what happened to her did they break up and she left him or is it something else?" she asked.
Gray shook his head at her "No that's where you're wrong. They were actually quite happy with one another when she was with us." Gray said with a smile as he remembered the old Naruto.
"Oh so did she leave the guild or something?" she asked as he shook his head no.
"Wrong again. Naruto and Lisanna were together so often you would think that they were married. Actually I'm pretty sure if she was still here he would ask her to have married him. But to know why he is the way he is you need to know the full story." he told her.
"You see Naruto and Natsu joined the guild only a couple of weeks apart but they have known each other for far longer. Both of them can actually support one anothers claim of being raised by dragon's which nobody believed when we first met them and they actually started talking about their father's which supported the other's story. Naruto met Lisanna on the same day he joined the guild and for them it was a love at first sight type thing." Gray said as he began to explain to her.
"Naruto and Lisanna did everything together whether it be the lowest ranking jobs to playing house out at a secret spot only they knew of. One day Lisanna went exploring and since it was her favorite hobby she easily got lost in the woods. Naruto being the love-struck puppy he was at the time runs out of the guild and into the woods without second thought in the world to find her. Gildarts followed behind him to make sure he didn't get hurt but he didn't." Gray said with a chuckle.
"Well from what Gildarts said when they came back was that Naruto easily killed a Vulcan by using his Lava Dragons Roar and melted it away. Actually the garden the two of them grew together is still there now that I think about it. Anyways Naruto and Lisanna started to grow closer with each passing day and when Naruto had just turned fifteen and Lisanna turned fifteen the next day after him he asked her out. Well they were so close that Naruto usually did tag along missions with her and her siblings so they could watch each other's back." Gray said.
"Oh who were her siblings?" she asked him.
"Mira and Elfman." he replied shocking her.
"But if they're still at the guild then what happened?" she asked.
"That's the thing. One day Lisanna had been invited on a mission with her siblings and told Naruto about it. Naruto had then immediately gotten a bad feeling and told her so. But when she left... she didn't come back to us." he said as he, Erza, and Cyclone then lowered their heads. Lucy just puts a hand to her mouth.
"She died on that mission due to Elfman not being able to control his emotions when he had taken over the very beast they were hired to kill. He took it over in order to better protect his family. Naruto was heartbroken and nearly died from it. Naruto wasn't seen for nearly a year after that and when he did come back he changed into the man that you now see. He doesn't smile like he used to he doesn't laugh like it either neither does he cause as much damage as he used to as well." he said.
"Wait Naruto was reckless?" she asked while Cyclone nodded to her.
"Oh yeah and it was actually much worse than Natsu on a really bad day where he took a job." the cat said with a chuckle.
"Oh god I think I've heard everything." Lucy joked, but her laughter quickly stopped when the magic vehicle lurched to a halt. "Naruto looked through the window with a worried expression on his face.
"It's Eisenwald. They've taken a train and are now ahead of us. The guy I stole Lullaby from is also dead." he said.
"What!" they all exclaimed as they climbed out of the vehicle. When they got out of the vehicle they did see that the man was dead. "This is bad. Eisenwald are probably now way ahead which means we need to move and we need to move now." Naruto said as they rushed back to the vehicle and quickly left with Erza driving once again.
Meanwhile with Makarov
Makarov was sitting at a table with Master Bob of the Blue Pegasus guild and Master Goldmine of the Quatro Cerberus guild drinking a beer. "You know Makky I'm a bit jealous of you. I mean who wouldn't be when you have the one people call the Primordial Slayer or Son of Raiun the Primordial dragon of legends long forgotten. And I also heard that one of your members also gave someone a rude awakening as well." Bob says to Makarov with dramatic hand motions.
Makarov only hears him talk about Lucy. "Oh you must be talking about my newest recruit Lucy. Yeah she did and she's also got a body that most women would kill for." Makarov says.
Master Goldmine sighs at this "You know Master Makarov you shouldn't talk about one of your member's like that." he says.
"You know Makky I think that your wizards may get a bit to spirited one day and destroy an entire city." Bob says.
Master Goldmine nods in agreement "I agree with Master Bob, Makarov. Even the council is afraid that it'll happen one day." he says.
Makarov then hears the magic bird calling his name causing him to turn around. When he holds out his hand the bird drops a letter in his hand. "Ah a letter wonder who it's from." Makarov says as he opens the seal. In a flash of light a silhouette of Mira appears.
"Oh hello master it's good to see you've arrived at the meeting safely." the silhouette says.
The men crowd around to get a better look. "See boy's this little cutie is our poster girl Mirajane. Grab some looks while you still can." Makarov says.
Mira's letter soon continues where Mira left off. "Oh Master I have such great news for you.-Really-Naruto, Erza, Gray, and Lucy along with Cyclone have formed a team together." Mira says as she shocks Makarov.
"What an amazing combination isn't it?" Mira asked him. Makarov could actually feel his heart stop beating. "I actually think that this may be our strongest team since yours. It's a shame Natsu didn't join them though I'm sure it would have been the greatest bar none." Mira says.
Makarov soon started to shake as he started to think "Oh no we're doomed. They actually teamed up together. Who did I manage to piss off in my past life enough for something like this to happen."
"I guess the council had a good reason to be afraid after all." Master Goldmine said as Makarov collapsed onto his back.
Makarov was still thinking along the lines "I really can't believe it those three alone could destroy a city, but if Natsu were to join we'd all be doomed. I better hurry up and leave so that nothing crazy happens before I return to the guild. No wait I should just leave now, but if I do then the other Masters will think I'm insane or something."
Naruto now sitting inside the magic vehicle with a scowl on his face. "You know my private life and who it involves is meant to be oh I don't know PRIVATE." he yells making Gray sit up a bit straighter.
"Calm down Naruto she was just curious about who Lisanna was." Cyclone says causing Naruto to release a sigh.
"I know, but I buried the past behind me when she died. I don't look back as it's what she would want me to do." Naruto said releasing another sigh.
Naruto then sticks his head out and starts to yell "Erza we need to speed up, but don't overload the SE plug." at Erza.
"I know. Hang on." she yells back as she pushes more magic into the vehicle making it go faster. She suddenly stops the car making Naruto nearly hit his head. Sticking his head out of the window he saw a column of smoke rise into the air.
"Dammit we were to late and now they've done this." Naruto growled. They ran inside to see a manager telling people that a train derailed but they didn't believe it. "Ok let's sneak in and take them out. It'll be a thousand times easier than you knocking them out and then run in anyways." Naruto said as the group nodded in agreement and snuck by the man telling everyone what had 'happened'.
Naruto was in the lead with Erza and the others behind him. "Knowing that the Eisenwald guild is here shouldn't the army be here?" Lucy asked.
"I don't know but it may already be to late." Erza said.
"We can't let that slow us down. We need to focus on the people that are here setting up a pathetic attempt of an ambush behind the doors." Naruto said gaining looks of surprise from his comrades.
They soon walked through the doors where they saw the rest of the Eisenwald guild with a white haired man wielding a scythe standing before them. "I see you insects finally made it. Now I'm only going to say this once hand over the Lullaby flute to me or else I'll kill you." the man said.
"Uh huh and then you kill us either way so it's a lose-lose situation for us but a lose-win situation for you guys." Naruto said gaining the man's attention.
"And did I ask for mouth from you you stupid insect? Now I'm being nice here and here you are being rude. Now I am only going to ask you one more time. Hand it over or die." he demanded.
"Sorry but I have a question. Were you planning on telling your guilds-men that you were planning to throw them to the dogs and kill them with Lullaby and then go after the guild masters or did you leave that out of your little plan Erigor?" Naruto possibly lied as the rest of the guild now glared at Erigor.
"What did you say?" Erigor growled out.
"Oh it's just that since we're at a train station with loud speakers which I assume if and, you did get your hands on Lullaby you would broadcast it over the rest of the city to kill countless people, but did you know that regardless of they heard or not that your friends would die due to you playing the death song of Lullaby." Naruto said to the man.
Now the men of Eisenwald were really angry at Erigor for that. "I don't care what you say. When I kill the guild-masters then I Erigor the Reaper will then go after the king and when he dies the world is as good as mine." he says as he leaps into the air and starts to hover. "Well then I guess it's time I put you in your place insect scum." Erigor said. "Men kill them all and bring me the Lullaby." he ordered them and then disappeared.
"Yeah I don't think so." Naruto said as his body was then covered in lava."Yoryū no Yoroi (Lava Dragon's Armor)" Naruto said when his transformation was complete. Lucy was amazed by Naruto's transformation just like everybody else. Naruto then turns back towards his friends. "Alright guys go after Erigor and stop him before he does something we can't stop." Naruto said.
"What about you?" Gray asked. "I'll be fine these guys aren't nothing when compared to a dragon. Besides we still have Lullaby in our possession which means we hold the advantage. Erza if he manages to get hold on one of our friends bring Lullaby out and threaten to break it. If he doesn't comply with your wishes break it anyways you got it?" Naruto asked her.
Erza nods her head and motions for Gray and Lucy to follow her. When they left only Naruto and Cyclone stood in front of them.
"Alright let's make some bones break." Cyclone said.
Naruto nods and takes a deep breath "Yoryū no Shakugaryūgan (Lava Dragon's Scorching Rocks)" Naruto shouts as the Eisenwald men charge him. The men stop when they see what comes out of the next ten seconds.
Naruto then expels a large amount of lava from his mouth, which quickly solidifies into multiple boulders of molten rock that are fired towards the group of now wide eyed men with tremendous force. They bring up their defenses but due to their composition, and because a considerable number of them have been dispersed over a wide range in quick succession, they easily destroyed what defenses were put up against the attack.
When the technique ends Naruto stands in front of a burning pile of defenses and a scared group of men. One of them then notices that Naruto's armor is pure lava. "Hey Water Magic users to the front. We'll beat him by solidifying that pretty armor of his." he says as the men complied with his orders. They then start to hurl multiple spells of water at him. Burt in a shocking move the water gets swallowed by him.
"What how is that even possible?" one of the flunkies asked.
"I don't get it he's covered in lava. He should be a stone statue right now." another says.
Naruto just sighs at them. "Oh come on I may be covered in Lava but I am able to use other elements even when I'm like this. Here I'll show you a real water technique." Naruto says as he sucks in a deep breath.
"Suiryū no Daibakufu (Water Dragon's Giant Vortex)" Naruto says. Then he spits out a large wave of water over a large area. It surges and rises up to several dozens of metres high. Then it streams down to the ground in one big cascade, much like a gigantic waterfall. In doing so, it resembles a huge wave, with tremendous power. What remains after that technique's utilisation is reminiscent of no less than the aftermath of a natural disaster.
Looking over the nearly drowned men Naruto could only smirk as they continued to cough up a lung as they tried to draw in a breath of air. Naruto allows for the lava that covered him in a powerful suit of armor dissolve into nothing as he shakes his head. "Honestly I am a bit disappointed in you guys. Y'all didn't even stand up against one of my weaker versions of that real technique." Naruto said looking at the group.
"And yet I find myself talking to nobody so I think I'm just going to knock out the rest of you and then be on my way." he says to nobody in particular and then walks around and knocks those still awake into the world of unconsciousness ties them up and heads after the others with Cyclone right behind him. Cyclone sighs which causes Naruto to look at him "What's the matter with you?" Naruto asks him.
"Oh it's just I thought that those guys would put up a better fight than they did. Guess I was proven wrong." Cyclone said which made Naruto nod in agreement.
"Yeah what a disappointment." Naruto agreed.
Erza and the others had been surrounded by a cage of wind courtesy of Erigor who was now cackling like a madman which wasn't far from the truth. "Now insects I'm only going to be nice this once and let you go. But in order for that to happen I need you to hand me the Lullaby flute. Now you either hand it over to me or I will not be kind and I will have to shred you with my wind, and trust me when I say it'll be messy and nothing will be left." Erigor gloated to them.
"No. We know you're going to kill us regardless. So take our offer and shove it up your ass." Gray shouted out to Erigor causing him to growl.
"Very well then scum prepare to meet the reaper." Erigor says as he give a maniac laugh while he starts to shrink the wind barrier. But in an instant is started to disappear as the winds started to calm down. Erigor got confused until he heard a burp before what sounded like chewing.
"You know your wind is a little to crunchy for my tastes. I would prefer that they be nice and calm with a mild dash of ass kicking to the side for an appetizer. But so far these winds are crazy and wild with a really bad crunch of I want to kill you and will smear your guts on the sidewalk for the main course. I tell you wind mages these days can't make a good wind spell to save a life it's gotten pathetic really." a voice said gaining their attention as the winds finally disappeared to reveal Naruto standing behind them as he finished inhaling the last of the hash winds into his belly before he released another burp.
"What the hell?" Erigor gawked as he watched the teen literally eat wind, which he thought was impossible, "H-how did y-you..." Erigor stuttered as Naruto walked forward.
"Eat your wind. Simple really I just inhaled it. That and the fact I can use just about any draconian element there is to offer. Wind is no exception to something that I can eat. And just like any slayer I have found some worthy prey to slay, but I'm not like you where I just kill for the hell of it. So Just this once I will kill a person and stain my hands red with blood to protect the innocent. Erigor the Reaper I hereby judge you guilty and by these witnesses I vow to win." Naruto said as he now had a seriously pissed off face while he looked at Erigor.
Erigor smirked at the teen. "Well show me what you can do insect." Erigor attempted to taunt him. It didn't work as Naruto just kept looking at him with the same face that was void of emotions.
"Ok. Erza I want you and the others to head to clover and deliver the package to the Master's and don't stop whatever you do alright. I'll catch up in a little bit ok." Naruto said still looking at Erigor.
Erza nods her head and motions for the others to follow. Naruto looks at Cyclone and speaks "You better go with them bud. There is now telling how bad this could get so go after them and listen to what Erza says alright." Naruto tells the cat who nods and flies away after the redhead. Naruto then turns back to face Erigor who was now chuckling a sinister laugh at him.
"Well that was a bold move fly, but now with your backup gone there is nobody to save you from the reaper." Erigor said trying to scare him.
"Yeah save your theatrics for the real reaper they don't work on me and they won't work on the real deal so let's just skip through all the bullshit monologues where the good guy tells the bad guy they will stop them where the bad guy does his evil speech and all that good fun shit I don't care to hear from you." Naruto told Erigor.
"Saves me the trouble of telling you that you're going down anyways fly." Erigor responds to him.
"Well normally I'm a person that doesn't want to cause much damage to a building or city block, but for you I'm willing to make an exception. Now I'm ready to break some bones. Get ready Erigor cause I'm coming for you." Naruto says with a gleam that was long forgotten now flashing in his eye's.
"Bring it." Erigor says as he flies at Naruto.
Naruto just draws back a fist enveloping it in hot steam "It's just too easy. Take this "Fuuryū no Tekken (Steam Dragon's Iron Fist)" Naruto calls out as he launches the fist at Erigor. When the fist connects Erigor is sent flying through the wall where he then crashes through several more walls before he finally stops. Standing up he wipes some blood that comes out of his mouth before he licks it off his hands and chuckles. He then see's Naruto standing at the first hole that he had made with his body waiting impassively for him to come back.
Erigor draws back his scythe and starts to run at Naruto as fast as he could. Bringing the weapon up to cleave him into from top to bottom he swings the scythe while Naruto stands impassively. What happens next begins to make Erigor sweat. His scythe breaks against scales... iron scales. "My "Tetsuryū no Uroko (Iron Dragon Scales)" are quite impressive don't you think?" Naruto asks him rhetorically.
Erigor jumps back to gain some distance from the ironclad human. His mind was running a million miles a minute trying to come up with a plan so he could kill the kid in front of him, but so far he was drawing a blank. He was brought out of his thoughts when Naruto calls out another spell "Tetsuryūken (Iron Dragon's Sword)" and transforms his right arm into a blade instead of it's clubbed form he used on Mt. Hakobe with sharp spikes on it that start to quickly spin until it's more like a chainsaw than a sword.
Jumping up Naruto raises his arm up before he brings it down with great force. The force of the swing tears the ground apart and throws Erigor back through a wall. Naruto draws his head back no longer caring for playing fair and calls out "Tetsuryū no Hōkō (Iron Dragon's Roar)" After gathering enough magic power in his mouth, Naruto shapes it into a powerful tornado which he effectively emits and sends towards Erigor. Such tornado possesses an immense force, being capable of generating powerful explosions and inflicting heavy blunt damage, but also releases sharp shards of metal in the process, and almost shred's Erigor's body apart.
Erigor barely managed to dodge the lethal attack before he growls. First this insect stands up to him and steals the Lullaby flute from him, and now he nearly killed him with only three moves. And to add insult to the wounds he hadn't landed a single strike on him not counting the ones the insect allowed him to. He then covers his hand in his wind magic and calls out "Magic Wind Palm" and sends out a large, powerful vortex which possesses enough strength to destroy the area it targets, but still much to his anger his target just inhales it again.
"You're making this to easy for me man, and I've given you plenty of chances to cut me down. What's the matter you can't handle the pressure?" Naruto taunts Erigor making him mad.
"I'll show you why I'm called the reaper. Now DIE "Storm Bringer" Erigor calls out. Erigor performs several gestures with his left hand's fingers, and then moves his open hand towards the blonde dragon slayer. A powerful tornado is generated, which spins and strikes the Naruto, who still stands impassively, as it tries cutting him with wind blades.
Naruto just yawns before he once again inhales the wind much to Erigor's rage. "Seriously... I think that I may have been overestimating you. Guess we all have our disappointments to live with." Naruto told him. "Now that I've grown tired of the child's play I think it's time for me to pull off the kiddie gloves and get rid of you so I can catch up with my team." Naruto tells him before he draws back his head again, but this time Erigor saw his enemy's steel scaled throat glow from red to white from the sudden heat within his body.
"Shakuryū no Hōkō (Scorch Dragon's Roar)" Naruto calls out as he spit's out a vortex of blue flames straight at Erigor, who was still standing with a still intact wall behind him, and since it was so widespread he couldn't dodge it. When it connected with him he could actually feel the flesh start to peel from his bones, before it suddenly stopped.
"What you thought I was going to make your end nice and quick. Oh no buddy boy. for all your sick thoughts and cruel things you have done I'm going to give you a righteous punishment. I know that when I die I won't be spared a punishment by the reaper for killing, but I think for you he'll make an exception. Now let's give that pretty head of yours a few new mark's eh?" Naruto said letting the Iron scales disappear from his body.
"Now "Rairyū no Hōken (Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist)" Naruto says as he gathers a large amount of lightning around one of his fists before he bends his left arm and then extends the fist forward in a punching motion. This prompts his magic seal to appear before him, from which an over-sized version of his fist, which is completely composed of lightning, is generated and rapidly fired towards the downed man.
The strike electrocutes Erigor as well as gives him a few cuts to his body thanks to a few of the sharper bolts causing the man to cry out in pain. "Oh poor baby can't take what he dishes out. How bout I make it feel better with this "Furyū no Saiga (Wind Dragon's Crushing Fang)" Naruto says as he then swipes at Erigor with his fingers leaving a wake of wind behind as he does so. The technique shreds some of the mans remaining clothes as well as leave a few shallow cuts on his body.
When he is done Naruto nods with a satisfied smirk. "You know I think I like you better like this Erigor. How bout I just leave you here for the army to come get since you're so nice to have evaded capture for the past six years. But remember if we ever cross paths again I'll actually go through with my promise unlike today." Naruto tells him before he grabs the back of Erigor's head and slams a knee to his face and breaks his nose in the process as he is knocked unconscious.
He then ignites his feet and flies off after his friends through the sky. As he is flying over the train tracks that head to Clover town he spots the magic vehicle with Erza driving it. Speeding up a bit he lands on the roof of the vehicle gaining Erza and the other's attention "Is it done?" Erza asked him. "If you must know I didn't kill him. I left him barely alive and since the army was on their way they'll apprehend the entire Eisenwald guild soon." Naruto tells the redhead.
"That's good to hear. I'm almost out of magic power so wanna take over while I get some of my energy back?" she asks him.
"Yeah let's just wait until we're off the tracks." Naruto told her as she nodded in agreement.
"So how many did you use to win?" Erza asked.
"More than I should have allowed myself to use. I severely overestimated his abilities." Naruto told her.
"You still didn't answer my question." she said as he gave a annoyed growl.
"Ok fine I used five." he told her. Erza giggled at the younger blondes frustration as they soon got off the tracks.
When Erza stopped the magic vehicle Gray, Lucy, and Cyclone climbed out of the machine and saw Naruto. Cyclone immediately latched onto his leg and hugged it. Gray nodded his head to the blond male in a job well done. Lucy smiled at him as she waved hello to the other blond who easily returned it. "Well now that Erigor and his other flunkies are now in the hands of the army I say we head to the guild master's meeting and hand over the LUllaby flute and head home." Naruto said as the others nodded quite easily as it had been a long day of trying to keep them safe.
Naruto then climbed into the driver's seat and attached the SE plug to his arm while Erza climbed inside to get a bit of rest. Now that Eisenwald was out of the way and the Lullaby flute was in their possession they could make their way to the meeting without any interruptions, which also meant they could travel at a steadier pace than before where they were rushing after the Eisenwald guild and try to stop them.
Upon arriving they saw the Master's leaving to head home. Naruto tapped Erza on the shoulder to get her attention. "It's time. Hand me the Lullaby and I'll take the responsibility of handing it over to the Master." Naruto said to the redhead. Nodding her head the redhead held out her hand where it glowed for a second before Lullaby appeared in her hands. Handing it over to the blond he nodded his head and walked over to the Master's.
"Master Makarov. Master Makarov." Naruto called out to the old man getting his attention.
"Naruto what are you doing here?" he asked the blond.
Naruto gave a polite bow to the elderly man "I came here to turn this magic item over to a guild Master so they could place it back into the council's custody." he answered as he handed the flute over to him. Surprised to see the item he nodded as the rest of Naruto's team came walking over.
"You did a good thing turning this over to me Naruto. I can only imagine what could have happened if this fell into the wrong hands." Makarov told him.
Bob walked up to the blond "Oh Naruto honey you're looking absolutely ravishing. How have you been since you left the guild to return home?" Bob asked the now disturbed blond.
"Uh I've been good Master Bob." he replied to him.
"You know young Jenny has been asking where you went right?" Bob asked him causing the blond to sigh.
"Yeah and when you see her next time tell her I said hi." Naruto told him sarcastically as he walked over to Goldmine. "Master Goldmine it's been awhile hasn't it?" Naruto asked as he simply nodded to the blonde.
"Yeah it has my boy. I recon you had to get pretty wild in order to stop the person who stole the Lullaby flute to return it here." Goldmine said to the blond who nodded at him.
"I grow tired of all of this." a deep voice says out of nowhere. Naruto turns to where the voice came from and saw Makarov looking down at the flute in his hands.
"Hey don't look at me it was the flute." he said as he dropped the now smoking instrument.
"Gray I believe it's your time to shine." Naruto said as Gray nodded his head.
"I got it just stand back everybody." Gray told everyone as he removed his jacket to reveal his arm that now had black tribal tattoos on it.
In a flash of light Lullaby stood in front of them in it's true form. "And now I claim all your souls." Lullaby said.
"Yeah not going to happen. "Ice Make Demon Zeroth Entrapping Glacier" Gray shouts as a literal glacier entraps Lullaby stopping it in it's tracks. With a simple wave of his arm the glacier along with the trapped Lullaby shatter to pieces and start to dissolve into nothing.
"Well there goes that thing." Gray said as he looked at where Lullaby once stood and he replaced his jacket.
"Wow so that is the power of a Demon Slayer Wizard. He destroyed Lullaby so effortlessly. Is this the same kind of power a dragon slayer can wield as well?" Lucy asked as she watched the sparkling ice fall from the sky.
"We don't know. In Fact we've never tried to compare the two types of Magic before so we won't be able to tell until we do." Erza said as she watched Gray work to effortlessly defeat Lullaby.
"Well I think it's best we head home guy's." Naruto said. The group along with the other guild master's nodded their heads in agreement. It had been a long day for everyone and the only thing that they wanted to do was go home and get some damn sleep.
"Well see you next time Makky." Bob said to Makarov. Makarov waved goodbye to his old friend while Erza placed the short man on her shoulder's.
