-Chapter 8-

"Do you understand what I'm asking of you two" asked Makarov standing before Draigo and Mystogan far off from the guild and completely alone in a forest in the middle of the Night. Truly a suspicious sight

"If Phantom makes a move on Fairytail you won't have to worry I'll personally crush their subdivisions" said Naruto stepping forward with absolute conviction in his voice.

"We'll take care of it" said Mystogan getting a nod from Makarov "But what makes you think that Phantom Lord will attack Fairy Tail"

"It's Jose, he's become increasingly jealous of our growing strength and it didn't help when I defeated him in a duel not long ago only adding to his loathing" said Makarov.

Mystogan nodded before he walked away disappearing into mist which dispersed into the air, leaving Naruto and Makarov in the forest.

Turning around Naruto stopped when he hear Makarov call out to him

"Naruto a moment" said Makarov getting the blonde to turn with some confusion on his face. He knew Makarov knew his real name but he always called him Draigo.

"What is it" asked Naruto with a hint of wonder in his voice

"I mean to talk to you about your….. attitude"

"My attitude?" asked Naruto confused

"You're strong, loyal, and I can tell you would sooner kill yourself than cause harm to others. But my boy your what fifteen?" asked Makarov

"And a half" said Naruto adding his own two cents.

"You act like a drone boy. Now there are those in this world that prefer solitude but no one can withstand it" said Makarov wisely

"I've been alone most of my life it's really not that big of a deal" said Naruto but he failed to hide all the pain in his eyes.

"You know I could go tell Erza that her savior is only a short distance from the guild" said Makarov deciding to pull the big cards on Naruto. He had only recently fully figured out the story behind Naruto and Erza as he overheard several of the conversations between herself and Natsu.

Naruto took a step back in fear "W-What are you talking about" asked Naruto stuttering ever so slightly as his tongue twisted in fear.

"I may be old but I am not an absolute idiot. I could tell there was some kind of connection between Erza and you from the first time I met you but I didn't know how deep that connection goes. Now I do" said Makarov standing sternly in front of Naruto who looked like a caged animal

"Don't do it….. I'll leave Fairy Tail. I've paid my debt to you" said Naruto weekly and he knew it wasn't a strong enough argument.

"Well by all means if you truly believe you've paid your debt to me than leave now. Walk away now and I'll pull back my argument" said Makarov

Naruto stood there torn. He wanted so badly to just turn and run away from Makarov, he'd done enough hadn't he? He probably saved them from Lullaby but Makarov was powerful enough to beat the beast himself. But he knew the truth, he still owed the old man and his knee's weak Naruto fell onto his knees having only one last option

"Please don't Master… I couldn't take the pain again" said Naruto tears streaming down his face. His pride slightly hurt with him having to beg

Inside Makarov felt truly guilty for doing this to the poor boy but he knew that it would be best for both him and Erza to meet again. He could perhaps give the boy some time to calm down before throwing him in the same room with his greatest fear.

"I will give you till after this whole Phantom Lord incident blows over then you must be prepared. Now go if you must" said Makarov as Naruto quickly got up and jumped on his light bike before speeding off.

Makarov sighed at Naruto's hasty exit before he began walking back towards the guild 'Better go close up' thought Makarov as he slowly walked towards the guild.

Walking into town and coming in view of the guild Makarov's eyes widened there in the guild were several metal beams destroying the walls but thankfully leaving the structure intact.

'So you already made your move have you Jose' thought Makarov looking at the sight with a sour taste in his mouth.

The Very Next Morning at a Phantom Lord Subdivision Building

"Ha did you hear what master Jose had Gajeel do to the Fairy Tail guild hall?" asked one of the mages grabbing a drink and joining his friends at a table.

"Haven't we all" laughed another mage before continuing " It's about time too. Were the best guild in Fiore and we'll show those Fairies who's boss" said the man taking a drink of his beer.

"You know I've heard reports that there Member Draigo takes down dark guilds all the time. Almost like a past time" said a cloaked mage his face hidden underneath a black tattered cloak with a silver lining.

"Pftt I've heard exaggerations about all there members. Like you know that Heartifilia girl were supposed to target" said one of the mages getting the others to nod

"Well I heard that she beat a full group of bandits with one pinky. I mean really how over exaggerated can you get" said the Mage sharing a laugh with all his friends and even the cloaked man seemed to chuckle though it was rather dark

"I don't know about that but that Draigo guy though…. I mean he beats up Dark Mages like a Tiger hunting mice" said the cloaked figure once again breaking the joyous attitude of the group.

"What would you know" asked one of the Mages before a fist connected with face sending him across the guild

"Because….. I'm Draigo" said Naruto flaring his magic around his body igniting into a brilliant show of Gold and White"

"Attack" shouted one of the more courageous guild members.

Eyes flashing Naruto counted everyone in the guild. 'Exactly 56 excluding the one I just knocked out'

Following the command of their guild mate three mages rushed at Naruto a crude looking magic surrounding their arms.

Appearing between the men Naruto assaulted them with a barrage of punches and kicks too fast for them to counter or block.

The men then fell to the floor mere seconds after charging Naruto.

Swiping his hand Naruto let his cloak blow in the wind before entering a fighting stance.

Seeing the fear in there Eye's Naruto gained a predatory gleam in his own eyes before he dashed off into the group of mages.

Disappearing before all the mages in front of him he appeared in the middle of them scaring on the closest members to wildly attack him with a beam of gray magic.

Swiping his hand the blast deflected away from Naruto hitting into one of the man's own guild mates.

"52 of you left" said Naruto blocking an attack from a nearby mage as they all started to surround him. It was only Natural instinct that when in a large group you should surround your enemy and attack him together as a unit.

The only problem with that plan was that they were simply sheep surrounding a dragon it didn't matter how many numbers they came in they would all lose and that was why Naruto smirked confidently as the men surrounding him closed in.

As the men closed in Naruto took a deep breath and just as the first mage came close enough to attack him Naruto looked straight at the floor before yelling " Dragon Prince's Roar "releasing a torrent of fire instead of shooting out in a spout of flame like it usually does the flame clashed against the floor before spreading out in all directions like a wave of fire engulfing all the mages in the room.

Standing Naruto looked around to see that most of the attacking mages were now on the floor having been thrown across the room by his attack most supporting heavy burns while the others seemed to put up some minor defenses

"You 14" said Naruto addressing the only Mages that were still conscious

The mages looked at him with fear "Get the rest of your comrades out of this building safely or I will return and finish you off" said Naruto walking out of the guild as the members desperately tried to get there members out of the now burning building.

Walking out of the guild Naruto jumped on top of the building before ripping of the banner and disappearing into the morning fog that had yet to fade away.

Back in Magnolia

"Gramps how can we just sit here and not do anything" asked Natsu his flames flickering across his fists.

"Natsu!" Makarov said sternly "We will not rage war on Phantom Lord not while they only do petty things such as vandalizing our guild at night when no one is there"

"But"

"Enough I'm going to go get some air" said Makarov 'I know you're coming Jose, I know that this was only a preparation shot. You wouldn't attack Fairy Tail by surprise and be known for attacking us blindly….. No you want us to fight you head on and prove that yourself as the strongest guild. You won't succeed however as by the time you make your first move most of your subdivisions will be crushed' thought Makarov walking outside to catch a soothing breath of air.

Later that Night with Lucy

"Ah this is so nice to have a break after that long mission" said Lucy relaxing in the bath.

"Plue" said Plue weakly as he wilted in the heat of the bath.

"Ah that's so cute you really do wilt when it's hot" said Lucy poking plue jokingly

"Well it's time to get out of the bath" said Lucy getting up and wrapping a towel around her body

Walking out of her bath and getting dressed Lucy stepped back before jumping on her bed.

Expecting a soft landing Lucy grunted as she landed on a hard figure.

"Oww who landed on me" said Natsu pulling the covers down to reveal him and Happy laying under the covers comfortably

"AHHH what are you doing in my house let alone my room" said Lucy when the door suddenly opened to reveal Erza her sword drawn from hearing a scream. A second passed as Erza looked around the room for an enemy when Gray jumped in through the window an ice lance shooting into her bathroom freezing it over.

"My Bathroom" shouted Lucy

"Where's the enemy I thought he was in the bathroom since everyone is just standing here" said Gray preparing for an attack.

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING IN MY HOUSE!" yelled Lucy

10 Minutes Later

"So you see that's why where all in your house. We thought it would be safer to all sleep in the same house just in case an enemy attacked us" said Erza pouring a cup of tea for herself and lucy.

"Ok I understand but why my house"

"We're going to rotate houses every night we just decided to stay here for tonight"

'Ughh why did I have to pull the short straw' thought Lucy noticing that Natsu was eating her refrigerator whole and Gray was sitting Naked on the couch.

Thumping her head on the table lucy groaned at her luck.

The next morning

A faint knocking came from the door getting everyone's attention as they were awake and enjoying breakfast.

Opening the door Erza saw a crying Mirajane standing in front of them

"Mira what's wrong" asked Erza worry in her voice catching everyone's attention

"Follow me you have to see what happened" said Mira getting those who were sitting to stand and walk out of the house as Mira led them away.

"Where are we going Mira" asked Lucy walking by Mirajane as she led them to who knows where

"You have to see something and you won't like it" said Mira before they turned the corner and entered the park

All of their eyes widened and anger flared through their bodies at what they saw.

There hanging on the tree was Jet and Roy hanging their arms bound to the tree by metal braces and their clothes torn from what one could only believe was battle. Between them was the mark of Phantom lord imprinted into the tree. Below the symbol was an unconscious Levy who looked the best out of the three mages with only slight tearing on her clothes which could have been caused by falling. She was bound with her hands above her head.

Natsu's teeth and hand's clenched tightly as he growled

A very familiar and very strong magical presence made itself known as Makarov walked through the crowd.

Looking up his Anger skyrocketed and everyone felt the push of magic

'You dare attack my children as they return home in the middle of the night Jose. You have truly fallen and I will crush you with my own fists' thought Makarov as magic flooded his body and the cane he was previously holding splintered into a million different pieces

"Get them down!" commanded Makarov walking away with anger written on his face "Then I want all members to meet up at the guild and bring whatever tools you need as if though you were going into battle" said Makarov sending a clear message to the entire guild

'Phantom has gone too far and we will not sit idle any longer. We go to WAR'

Thirty Minutes Later at Fairy Tail

Everyone was in a scurry as they prepared to go to battle with Phantom Lord.

Lacrimas were being packed and some people where putting some finishing touches on their magical weapons by cleaning them and making sure that they were in top notch condition. Others where practicing attacks without the use of magic.

All in all it looked like they were getting ready for a big fight and that couldn't be any more true.

"Everyone Listen up" said Makarov getting the guilds attention

"I will not force you to come with us as we attack phantom lord but those with the strength to stand up and fight. I ask that you follow me as we RIGHTFULLY! show Phantom Lord what it means to mess with FAIRY TAIL" said Makarov inspiring confidence in the eyes of all of the guild members as they cheered him on.

After the cheering died down Makarov spoke again "Let's get going the boats await to take us directly to Phantom Lord"

On the Water

The boat rocked gently as they made their way towards Phantom

Standing at the front of the boat was Makarov staring sternly at the Phantom Lord guild visible in the distance

Down on the boat it was quite the site as Erza had several of her weapons surrounding her sharpening each and every one of them with precision and a rather deadly gleam in her eyes.

Natsu was holding down his lunch and trying not to puke over the edge of the boat.

Everyone else seemed to be mentally preparing as they simply stared off into space.

Unknown to everyone on the boat there was another person watching over them. Concealing his magic and being invisible to the naked eye no one could see Naruto sitting high above them on the sail.

Looking down Naruto looked own with heavy eyes as he watched Erza sharpen her blades to such a degree that it could probably cut through steel with ease.

'How will she react' thought Naruto as his hand went to his side phantom pains of where Erza had kicked him coursing through his body. In all honesty the kick wasn't nearly the strongest or most painful thing he had experienced but the fact that Erza was the one to kick him really made it painful.

'Knowing that I was in the same guild as herself….. will she be angry' thought Naruto bitterly before he broke his gaze from Erza and looked off at Makarov a scowl on his face.

'How did he know I was even connected to Erza. Was it a guess or maybe he linked the magic I used during the tower of heaven escape to the magic I use now' thought Naruto touching his sword which was sheathed on his back.

'I knew I shouldn't have used my sword….. it's a one of a kind and it wouldn't be too hard recognize' thought Naruto before grunting in frustration before quickly covering his mouth.

Looking down to see if anyone had heard him Naruto was pleased to see that Natsu the only one capable of picking up his presence at this point thanks to his heightened Dragon senses was still laying over the railing with an extremely sick look on his face.

'Come on Naruto let's not make rookie mistakes' thought Naruto before laying his head against the mast and sleeping contently.

"Children" shouted Makarov from below getting those who were in the ship to come out

"We'll be docking shortly, When we engage Phantom Lord all of you are to stay away from Jose I will fight the man myself. Remember that Phantom doesn't hold the same principals as we do. Many will use underhand tactics to win and never put them past sacrificing some of their own members to win. Defend each other and act as a unit and we will win. Above all however I must insist that none of you interfere with my fight with Jose" said Makarov getting nods from everyone.

Minutes Later the boat was docked and all the guild members hastily made their way towards Phantom Lords guild.

"Natsu if you would" said Makarov standing near the doors of Phantom Lord

Natsu grinned before his fist lit on fire and he charged at the door hitting it with his magic the door exploded into the guild.

"Attack" cheered Makarov as he started walking through the guild calmly those who came close too him where blown away as his magic started to discharge in beams of light and the ground started to crack underneath the pressure.

Those with Long range magic had quickly put up the nearest tables to act as a defense and began shooting and casting spells at the Phantom lord mages

Then you had people like Erza, Natsu, and Gray who charged into the fray throwing around there spells and attacks in high powered moves.

"Gajeel where are you" yelled Natsu as he kicked a mage away from him and sending the mage into a group of his friends.

Hearing some rather creepy laughter Natsu looked up to see Gajeel standing on some cross beams.

Faster than Gajeel could realize Natsu had launched himself from the floor and with a blast of fire magic he was now throwing a punch at the man.

Lifting his arm up Gajeel blocked the fist with his arm but winced slightly at the force underneath the blow.

Dodging the uppercut that Natsu sent at him Gajeel jumped up and using little metal stubs that shot out of his foot he stuck himself to a beam above Natsu smiling at the Fire Dragon Slayer.

"Is this all you can do" taunted Gajeel getting the reaction he wanted as Natsu charged him again only to be hit in the gut by an Iron Pillar courtesy of Gajeel.

Landing on the beam below Natsu rolled of and climbed on the underside of the beam as Gajeel slashed away at it trying to hit Natsu.

Swinging up Natsu caught Gajeel by surprise and kicked him onto a nearby beam.

Locking eyes both dragon slayers pulled back their heads

With Erza

Slashing through her opponents Erza saw them drop to the floor most bleeding but none of the wounds were near fatal.

Looking up she saw Natsu engage Gajeel in a fight

'Natsu can handle Gajeel but it's imperative that I cut down there numbers here so we can finish this fight' thought Erza dodging some blue lightning before Requiping into her Heaven's Wheel Armor and launching a barrage of swords at the enemy mages.

While she focused on the main group Gray handled any that got to one side and Elfman was handling most on the other while the rest of the guild was providing back up and long range support.

All in all it seemed like Fairy Tail was just an unstoppable force mowing down Phantom mages left and right. And throughout all the chaos above the clashing mages there was a shimmer that sat calmly on top one of the highest beams merely observing the fighting paying particular attention to a red haired girl and a pink haired boy.

'At this rate the battle will be over in another hour or two' thought Naruto merely using the rate that the guild members where downing phantom mages as a measuring tool.

Feeling Natsu's magic rise Naruto looked over and saw him and Gajeel prepare a roar. 'Ohh I wonder who will win' thought Naruto when suddenly the roof between them collapsed and rocks fell down causing both Dragon Slayers to cancel their attacks as they watched what happened

"Jiji" shouted Natsu diving after Makarov who just fell out of the new hole in the ceiling along with a pile of rocks.

Catching the old guild master Natsu crashed into a table but stood up quickly signifying he was ok.

'What the hell happened to him' thought Natsu and Naruto at the same time.

"M-My M-Magic" said Makarov weakly

"There Guild Master is down ATTACK!" yelled one of the phantom mages as the started to push the Fairy Mages back

Deflecting some attacks Erza knew that with Makarov out of the picture it was only a matter of time before Jose came and finished them off.

"EVERYONE RETREAT" yelled Erza surprising everyone but they started to retreat none the less.

"Erza you can't be serious" said Gray creating a shield between the guilds to buy some time.

"As we lose moral they gain it plus we don't have the power to defeat Jose and his guild at the same time" said Erza a look of disgrace and sadness on her face.

"But" said Gray trying to protest but a hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"Please Gray…. We must retreat" said Erza getting a nod from gray as they ran out of the guild.

Meanwhile the shimmer that was high above everyone was no longer there and nearby there was a hole made in Phantom Lords wall big enough for a man to walk through.

Outside

"Shit throw some distractions down we need to buy some time" said Cana throwing some water cards behind the group hoping to slow down the approaching Phantom Lord guild

Makarov who was being carried by Elfman looked on with great sadness he knew that the boats were to far away and that they wouldn't make it without losing some members and god knows that the guild wouldn't leave anyone behind and by the end of it all they would probably all be in Phantom Lord's Dungeon by the end of the night.

If only they could buy some more time to get away

As if though answering his prayer a slash of energy split the distance between both guilds creating a crevice in the earth. To everyone's awe, shock and wonder a ten foot wall of fire erupted from the giant gash completely splitting the distance between the guilds.

At the same time a figure appeared on the Fairy Tail side of the flame wall.

Makarov caught the gaze of Naruto and the message couldn't be any more clear

'Debt Repaid' was the clear message sent by Naruto

Erza who had looked on felt her heart beat faster as the flame wall lit rose knowing that Natsu had no spell like that in his sleeve and that his fires didn't burn a golden white.

Looking at Naruto she didn't fail to recognize that he had a satisfied gleam in his eyes as he stared at Makarov and it slightly unnerved her but as the rest of the guild made its way towards the docks using the fire wall to buy enough time to reach the boat. She on the other hand started walking uncontrollably towards the hooded figure

"Erza" said Gray grabbing her hand and making her head swivel back.

"Let go gray I need to go help him" said Erza watching as Naruto turned around and started walking towards the flame wall.

"Erza we need you too" said Gray some desperation in his voice and it brought Erza out of her musings as she looked between Gray, The guild, and… Naruto

Nodding her eyes almost on the edge of tears but Gray couldn't see it she started running towards the boats but not before she turned back and saw the end of Naruto's cloak fade into the fire.

With Naruto

Walking through the flame and looking at the gob smacked expressions of the Phantom Lord mages brought a smile to Naruto's face but it wasn't seen behind his mask.

Glancing to his right he saw his Sword Impaled to the ground and again smirked. He had stored enough magic to run fire wall for the next hour but honestly judging from the magic levels and the size of this group it wasn't going to take him more than twenty minutes to be done with them all.

Stepping forward he noticed that all the mages stepped back… 'Interesting' Naruto thought

"Do you all know who I am" asked Naruto hint of wonder in his voice as he talked so casually

"Y-You're Draigo, the supposed Dark Guild Hunter of Fairy Tail… But you're supposed to be gone on a 100 year mission" said one of the members fearfully. The report that Draigo was nowhere near the guild was one of the reasons they recently attacked Fairy Tail. Draigo was a man reported on several times to be able to wipe the floor with Dark Guilds and to get in his path was to find a one way ticked to a maximum security prison for all dark mages.

'Amazing' thought Naruto chuckling to himself 'Dark Guilds have no idea who I am and yet a LEGAL Guild stands in fear at my mere presence….. maybe if I attacked some Legal guilds or at least forged some reports then I could instill fear into the dark guilds'

"Well I must say my Reputation precedes me but what will all of you do now will you stand up and fight me resulting in a very….very painful submission or will you submit yourself to authorities?" asked Naruto stretching to better intimidate everyone.

"Come on guys he may have taken out some low level Dark Guilds but there's no way he can handle the number one guild in Fiore" said one of the braver mages as he prepared a magical attack.

"Yeah let's take this guy down in one blow" said another Phantom mage charging his own magical attack as others joined him

"Attack" cheered one of them shooting his had forward as the mages released a torrent of different magic's at Naruto who stood there calmly

An Explosion clouded Naruto as the attacks kept attacking his location.

A full minute passed before the mages stopped attacking. "Did we get him" asked one of the more braver mages.

"No" called out a rough voice from the smoke which suddenly cleared revealing Naruto standing there a spiral of flames burning around him protecting him from their attacks.

"My magic is simply greater than all of yours plus my will" said Naruto disappearing before appearing in a group of mages his mouth glowing with flames before they shot out propelling several mages away " Is greater than yours will ever be" finished Naruto jumping into the fray of enemies and engaging them all.

It didn't matter how many people they sent at him at one time he countered and blocked so many attacks that it seemed like he was a ghost himself. If it weren't for the fact that he was pummeling people left and right with only his bare fist and feet than you truly would think he was some type of whisper in the air as he evaded all the attacks sent at him.

Charging at him five mages tried to catch Naruto in his blind spot but without even looking in their direction Naruto did a back flip over them only to charge an attack mid-air and launch it from above the group sending a slash of fire at them pushing them to the ground with enough force to knock them out.

Moving across the entire mass of mages Naruto cleared a path with his fists.

Putting a hand on the floor a small rune appeared before disappearing too fast for the Phantom Mages to noticed since they were too busy watching Naruto decimate there guild.

Pulling out some bigger guns Naruto's hand lit on fire before small whips of fire slowly dropped to the ground.

Grabbing a Phantom Mage who was way too surprised to do anything but gawk before he was thrown up in the air thanks to the whips only to be dropped on his own comrades.

Naruto moving over to another side of the massive group placed down another seal before clapping his hands together and jumping away from the group.

The mages didn't have time to make a move as small balls of light filled the area the runes on the floor glowing brightly.

Making some hand motions Naruto watched with a smile as the Orbs continued to spawn rapidly before they started to launch themselves at the Phantom Mages in a brilliant display of light.

Really the low level mages stood no chance against the attack and Naruto had changed the original concept of attacking one person to attacking many by using runes to set up a kill box so to say.

'Hmm now that the bugs are out of the way I should be going' thought Naruto turning around and dodging an Iron pillar to the face.

"Whew that was close….. but I must say to use such underhand tactics such as a sneak attack. That is not befitting of us Gajeel" said Naruto quickly grabbing the Iron pillar and throwing Gajeel over his body.

Walking away casually Naruto heard Gajeel charge at him so turning around he gave Gajeel a look so fearsome and terrifying it stopped the dragon slayer in his tracks

"Your fight it is not with me…. But if you continue to attack me I will not hold back and I will crush you" said Naruto his golden eyes blazing with power "Besides you need to be in tip top shape when you face Natsu and lose" finished Naruto calmly as he picked up his sword and the wall of flame disappeared

Waving his hand Naruto jumped on his Light Bike before riding off around the cove.

Back at Fairy Tail

Everyone looked miserable. They just lost to Phantom Lord and now there guild master was sick for an unknown cause.

"Dammit, we should have gone with the old man" said Gray standing on a pillar his clothes fully on since he didn't feel like walking around in only his underwear.

"Let's not worry about the past we should focus on preparing ourselves if Jose should press his advantage we would be hard pressed to stop him from destroying the guild" said Macao

"Where's Erza and Natsu" asked Elfman.

"Erza's in the shower but I don't know where Natsu is" said Mirajane.

Letting the hot water fall down her body Erza reminisced the day's event. The day had really been a roller coaster of emotions. Starting with Rage from the attack to a battle preparation mode on the ship and during the fighting itself. Worry and sadness as the guild ran away from the Phantom Mages and finally a strong pain of Sadness and guilt as questions about Naruto plagued her mind.

When she saw Naruto standing there she just wanted to run at him and tell him the truth. Then she saw the way he was gazing at Makarov like he had won some type of competition. It had caused her to hesitate slightly and before she regained her confidence Gray had grabbed her and forced her to come with the guild.

'How did I not notice him before that though….. there's no way he just stumbled upon us the timing was too perfect. C-Could he have been watching us all the entire time' thought Erza with a look of realization.

He was hiding even in the middle of a battle zone and he masked his magic perfectly. With that level of skill he could be anywhere hell he could be hiding in the same shower as her right now and she wouldn't know it.

This thought actually caused Erza to shed some tears but they weren't visible underneath the shower waters that clashed over her face.

'That means that he's been able to waltz into the guild with no one being the wiser and just take missions without anyone seeing him' thought Erza believing the chances for her to catch Naruto were growing more and more slim.

A loud crashing noise disrupt her thoughts on the matter however as the entire guild seemed to quake. She was about to pass it off as an earthquake but it happened again and again like a rhythm.

Walking out of the shower and Requiping in her armor Erza ran out to see what all the commotion was about

An hour before on the other side of the Harbor

Sitting on the Cliffside we find Naruto tossing pebbles into the ocean

'Just go….. it's not like they need you when they stand a perfect chance of winning still' thought Naruto somberly throwing another rock off the cliff and timing how long it took the rock to hit the ground.

'I could say my farewell's to the old woman it's not that I won't see her again it I just won't be around much anymore' thought Naruto before nodding and walking off to go see Porlyusica

Forty-Five minutes ago at Porlyusica's house

Walking up to the house that was a tree Naruto knocked gently on the tree stepping back a bit to give the door room to open.

Seconds later Porlyusica opened the door with a scowl on her face but that was replaced with a small smile when she saw Naruto standing there.

"Ah Naruto how nice to see you for once when you're not all injured" said Porlyusica with a humorous smile.

"Very funny now… do I need to invite myself in" said Naruto with a small smile on his face as he allowed his mask to fade off of his face.

"Just come and leave that cocky attitude outside" said Porlyusica walking into the house and leaving the front door open.

Walking in Naruto saw Makarov In the other room his face constricted in pain and sweat on his brow.

"What happened to him" asked Naruto while motioning towards Makarov

"His magic was drained…. Quite severely I might add for one to become so ill from magical depletion than he must have been drained almost instantly and I don't know of anyone with the skill to drain all of Makarov's magic instantly" said Porlyusica pouring herself and Naruto a cup of tea.

"I think it wasn't necessarily a drain spell" said Naruto catching Porlyusica's attention

"Explain"

"Well I know that one of the members of phantom lord is an air wizard and specializes in his field so I think that perhaps while Makarov was distracted the wizard didn't necessarily absorb rather he split Makarov's magic shredding it to pieces and throwing it to the wind" said Naruto

"That seems logical but then Makarov should have been able to grab at least some of his magic back" said Porlyusica pointing out a flaw in Naruto's theory

"Well that's the thing he fell through several stories so maybe they split his magic and then shot him away so he couldn't recover even the slightest amount"

"This is interesting indeed. If you could retrieve some of his magical essence back at Phantom Lords guild then you could help him recover"

"Anyways I just came here to ask you a couple of things and talk to you about this and that" said Naruto changing the subject much to Porlyusica's confusion

"Well what do you want to talk about"

"It's a question really. It's been bugging me for a while but….. how do you know my father?"

"Well you see… I'm his Lover" said Porlyusica getting Naruto to go pale before he was hit in the head with a broom sending him to the floor

"It was a joke you idiot…. And besides is it such a terrible idea me being with someone" said Porlyusica

Recovering quickly Naruto sat back down

"Thank goodness you hit me Porlyusica I was having the worst dream ever… first you told me that you made love to a giant dragon and then you told me a joke I thought I was going to have a heart attack" said Naruto before getting hit by two brooms this time.

Sitting back up Naruto stayed silent

"Well anyways the story of how I met your father is a rather short one. It all began when I was younger and I was out by myself gathering Medical herbs. Entering a clearing I was looking around for some rather rare herbs when all of a sudden a great wind picked up around me" said Porlyusica chuckling slightly.

"The only problem with this wind was that it was no wind at all as a shadow fell down upon the clearing I looked up and almost ran away. The only problem being that I was too afraid to move and when your father dropped into the clearing and stared at me with those golden eyes of his I thought I was going to pass out"

"What happened next" said Naruto eating some nuts he had stolen from Porlyusica's cabinets without her looking.

Not noticing that he was eating her favorite snack Porlyusica continued on with the story.

"Well after a few moments of hyper ventilating I finally calmed myself right before your Father started to talk to me. And I quote "What is your name Human" asked your father to which I replied my name. Then with a great lift of his wings and the puffing out of his chest he replied. "My Name is Draico Lord of the Dragons and it was a pleasure to have met you Porlyusica" then he flew away shortly before I passed out from shock" said Porlyusica as Naruto laughed slightly

"What pray tell is so funny" asked Porlyusica

"Well my father can read peoples mind as long as he makes eye contact long enough to see all the key events and important details that make you who you are. Basically from the moment he met you he knew EVERYTHING about you….. maybe that's why he told me that I could trust you" said Naruto with a faint smile while Porlyusica looked slightly freaked out.

"He READ MY MIND!" yelled Porlyusica

"Most likely"

"You can't just go around reading peoples mind's like that"

"Well anyways you can stress out over it on your own time I just wanted to tell you one more thing before I'm off" said Naruto getting a glare from Porlyusica before she sat down

"What is it"

"I'm not going to sugar coat it but…. I'm Leaving Fairy Tail" said Naruto waiting for a verbal whiplash as he closed his eyes. After hearing nothing he slowly opened his eyes to see Porlyusica nod before she stood up and grabbed his cup of tea before walking over to her sink.

"What's up….. no you can't leave…. Why are you leaving or the famous 'What are you Crazy' " asked Naruto

"No I could always tell you never wanted to be in Fairy Tail to begin with. I don't know your reasons but I already know that you're about to say that even if you're not in Fairy Tail that you'll still come and visit when you can. Am I right?" asked Porlyusica turning to look at Naruto who nodded dumbly

"Well then get going even if you are a dragon you smell a lot like humans" said Porlyusica getting a small laugh from Naruto before he walked towards the door.

Just as he was about to step out the door Naruto paused before speaking loud enough for Porlyusica to hear him clearly.

"I'll see you later…. Grandma" said Naruto getting Porlyusica to drop the cup in the sink before her head snapped in the direction of the door only to find that Naruto was long gone.

'Grandma' thought Porlyusica over in her mind before smiling a loving smile that she had long since thought to no longer have.

With Naruto currently

Standing a far distance from Fairy Tail he could see the Phantom Lord guild closing in on the Fairy Tail guild as it walked with four massive legs sticking out of it.

'Dammit man. Just walk away they DON'T need you thought Naruto summoning his light bike already in the direction away from Fairy Tail.

Getting on the Bike Naruto gripped the throttle but struggled to twist the handle like his body was refusing his request.

Growling ever so slightly Naruto heard a very loud clanking.

Turning around Naruto saw a cannon start to extend out of the Phantom Lord building.

He knew right there and then that the chances of Fairy Tail winning went from about being good to plummeting to zero. What's worse is that he could knew that out of everyone there only one person would be able to stop the Magic Cannon and that was with the risk of her life…. Something he wasn't about to allow.

Skidding around Naruto knew he wouldn't have time to take the roads to fairy tail and that the quickest way there was in a straight line….. over a massive body of water.

'Come on' thought Naruto revving his bike as the front wheel locked up and the back wheel started to create smoke as it ground into the dirt at high speeds. The smoke was quickly replaced with fire that shot out of the back of the bike

Holding onto the brake time seemed to slow down as Naruto sighed ' I guess as long as she's here I will be to' thought Naruto as he let go of the brake and all hell broke loose.

To say that Naruto shot off of the cliff would be an understatement as he left little cliff behind as it broke apart and fell into the ocean

Coming down onto the ocean Naruto just flooded the bike with Magic and pushed the throttle causing him to slightly bounce off of the surface of the water before the bike leveled out and started shredding through the top of the water leaving a shockwave of water and fire as he shot across the water.

Naruto was making good if not great time but that might not be enough as he saw the cannon start to build up it's magic.

Breaking the throttle so it stayed at maximum output Naruto quickly stood on top of his Light Bike like a skateboard

'I'm so sorry my baby' thought Naruto giving his bike a small pat before he started to close in on the cliff by Fairy Tail.

Getting low Naruto jumped as hard as he could launching himself over the cliff while keeping his forward momentum.

Unfortunetally his light bike wasn't so lucky as it crashed and exploded against the Cliffside.

Sliding on the top of the cliff Naruto saw Erza staring at him with wide eyes as he quickly ran up to her grabbed her and threw her at the biggest guy he could find which happened to be Elfman who was knocked down due to the fact that he wasn't prepared to catch Erza who hit into him with her Titanium Armor equipped

After throwing a rather startled Erza Naruto quickly spun around and with his bare hands gripped onto the beam that was the Jupiter Blast.

"Ahhhhhh" yelled Naruto gripping the magical blast as best as he could. With no time to prepare his hands were literally starting to be shred apart as the magic in his body was desperately trying to flow through his arms in an attempt to stop the blast.

'No choice then' thought Naruto noting that at the rate that the blast was dying down and the rate his arms were losing strength that the blast would blow by him and hit the guild and possibly a good amount of houses in Magnolia ' I'll have to collapse it ' screamed Naruto in his mind

Unknown to Naruto everyone was watching him with amazement as he held back Jupiter with his bare hands his cloak blowing in the wind didn't help diminish their astonishment either.

To be Honest they would have helped him if it weren't for the fact that the entire event was taking place within the span of a few seconds and none of them could react that fast when so dazed.

Hearing a roar from Draigo they all watched in fascination as four beams of light shot out of his body and hit the Jupiter beam from different direction causing the beam to bend weirdly before there was a huge explosion engulfing Draigo before a figure shot out of the smoke propelling at high speeds into the guild.

Immediately realizing that there immenent doom had been averted the guild shot into action several of the stronger members running at the Phantom guild construct while most of the members dealt with Jose's shades which were fast approaching from the sky.

In the Guild

Franticly looking around Erza spotted Naruto's form crashed against a table his arms clearly damaged even from far away.

Running over to him Erza put her ear to near his mouth to check that he was breathing and she was quite releaved to hear him breathing even if it was rather shallow and quick breaths tell tale signs of an injury or sickness.

Hearing some soft footsteps behind her Erza turned to see Mira walking towards her with some bandages and wet towels

"I figured if he was still alive he would need these" said Mira getting a nod from Erza as she walked over and placed one of the towels on Naruto's head before she began to wrap Naruto's arms in the bandages trying not to look away in repulsion as Naruto's hand's were terribly charred and there were several large gashes in his arms. She really didn't think bandages would help much in this situation but it was the best that she could do.

Erza just sat on her knee's watching the whole ordeal wishing she knew some type of healing magic but healing magic was a lost art and she really couldn't blame herself for not knowing any but still if she knew even a little of the magic she could help ease the pain Naruto was clearly going through

"Erza" said Mirajane catching Erza's attention "I've wrapped his wounds and done all that I can But you need to get out there and help the guild defeat Phantom"

Erza wanted nothing more than to just say that the guild could handle it and just watch over Naruto and make sure he didn't escape her sight but she knew better so with a nod she stood up

"Please just watch over him" said Erza in a rather sad tone as Mira nodded.

Turning Erza was about to start walking away before something grabbed her boot.

Looking down she saw that Naruto was still unconscious but he gripped her metal boot tightly a small light erupting from his hand before it went limp and hit the floor with a small thud.

'What was that' thought Erza and Mirajane at the same time before Erza quickly cleared her thoughts and ran out of the guild a feeling of weightlessness following her.

In the Phantom Lord guild Construct

Being hit square on with one of Natsu's fire attacks the Fire Mage of the Elemental Four stood no chance as he was blown through the magical Lacrima that powered the Jupiter Cannon.

With the Lacrima now destroyed the Cannon could no longer be fired and the guild would be safe for the meantime.

Hearing a crashing noise Natsu turned back to see Erza flying through a new wall in the guild.

"How is he" asked Natsu stretching his arms

"He's doing ok but his arms are extremely damaged" said Erza shaking slightly "You should have see how much blood was on his arms I was so grateful when Mira came and wrapped his wounds…. I'll have to thank her after this" said Erza looking at the floor before a comforting hand was put on her shoulder.

"It's going to be ok Erza… After we finish phantom lord off we'll go wrap him up in chains or something then you can talk to him and straighten things out"

"Anways I'm off to go find Gajeel he's got to pay for what he did to our guild" said Natsu with conviction in his voice.

"I'll see who I can take out and then we should group up and fight Jose together since alone none of us are strong enough to fight him on our own"

"I'll see you there in a little while then" said Natsu running off throwing Happy on his back as he disappeared form the room.

'I won't fail… I have to protect all those close to me' thought Erza as images of the guild came to mind but the image of young boy smiling at her while he stared into her red eyes with his own electric blue eyes.

Her resolution solidified Erza dashed out of the Lacrima room and to a future of periless battles.
