Lightning Dragon Slayer - Earthland Storm - Chapter Nine.

It was yet another lively day in Fairy Tail with Mage's milling around chatting going about their daily lives, others stood staring at the request board looking for their next job while behind the bar dressed in her usual red gown stood one Mirajane Strauss. Her eyes were locked onto the visage of one blond Dragon Slayer, who was having what appeared to be a rather humorous conversation with Grey, Elfman and Lisanna.

Mirajane sighed and thought back to a time several years ago when she came so close to losing her family, It would of happened too if it hadn't been for the blond who had saved the day.

The Strauss Siblings. Mirajane, Elfman and Lisanna had just finished a mission and collected their payment from the employer, when Elfman led his sisters to a clearing at the edge of town ready to show them what he thought was his perfected Full Body Take Over.

"Nii-Chan, please be careful" cried Lisanna as the sky above the town darkened with a few drops of rain fell to the ground below.

"Don't worry Lisanna, I'm a man I've got this" replied Elfman.

Mirajane narrowed her eyes as she crossed her arms stood impassively watching her Brother take his stance as his magical energy charged up.

Elfman looked up and called out.

"Beast Soul Takeover"

Elfman then began to increase in size and muscle mass as the magical aura disappeared it revealed Elfman had transformed into the King of Beasts, his entire body was covered in crimson colour fur expect his chest which remained green in colour, four horn like protrusions appeared on his shoulders and head. His hair remained shock white in colour but know he had a beard which adorned his face his wide open mouth was filled with razor sharp teeth, his blue trousers were ripped and frayed but remained secured via a leather belt.

Both Lisanna and Mira smiled at their brother's accomplishment knowing that he'd been trying for month's to reach the level of full Takeover.

"Alright Nii-Chan you did it" said Lisanna

Mirajane then suddenly sensed a spike in her Brother's magical power as he roared into the sky above, Mira's eyes widened the power spike meant only one thing Elfman had lost control.

"Lisanna get away from him now!" she cried to her Younger Sister.

Lisanna turned from her Sister as she saw her transformed older Brother advance towards her, her lips trembled in fear as a shadow loomed over her.

"Nii-Chan" whispered Lisanna.

"Lisanna" cried Mira.

Mirajane rushed towards her sister gripped her around the waste as Elfman punched the ground cracking underneath thanks to his now greatly increased strength, Mirajane skidded to a stop Lisanna safely in her arms as Elfman ran towards them.

"Mira what's wrong with him?" cried Lisanna.

"He's lost control, we need to snap him out of it somehow?" said Mirajane as she jumped into the air but Elfman reacted with a heavy fist aimed directly at his sisters, Mirajane threw Lisanna in the opposite direction avoiding the hit which once again struck the ground cracking it under it's strength.

Mirajane landed hard and skidded across the ground as her body came to a stop, she looked up and saw her transformed older brother stomping towards Lisanna.

"Lisanna" cried Mira as she tried to haul her tired and weary body to her feet and get to her younger Sister.

Lisanna tried to drag herself backwards trying to get away from Elfman who roared, the sheer volume of the beastly cry shaking the ground underneath her.

"Nii-Chan" cried Lisanna a lone tear falling from her eye.

Elfman simply roared in response as he raised his fist, Lisanna cried as she waited for the the hit to come it was at that moment she remember something some dear to her had said.


Her eyes widened as the memory came flooding back

"If your ever in trouble, if you ever find yourself alone and scared then grip this and you'll be OK I promise" said Naruto smiling as she hung a silver pendent necklace over Lisanna's head the pendent was in the shape of a flying bird

Lisanna smiled and hugged the blond "Thank you Naruto-Kun" said Lisanna very thankful for her gift.

Naruto chuckled and returned the hug.


Lisanna reached under her shirt at the neck and pulled out the silver pendent as she gripped it tightly in her hand, she clenched her eyes shut as the giant enclosed fist came barrelling towards her.

"Nii-Chan" whispered Lisanna.

"Lisanna" screamed Mirajane.

Elfman roared as he attacked but unnoticed to all was the small bird charm glowing a bright yellow light, then suddenly a streak light appeared between Elfman's fist and Lisanna as the light died down it revealed a white trench coat moving in the wind and an outstretched hand hold back to the punch.

It was Naruto.

"Oi Lisanna-Chan you ok?" asked the blond.

Lisanna opened her eyes and looked up in surprise to see the blond Dragon Slayer standing in front of her smiling.

"Naruto-Kun" she whispered

In the distance Mira sighed happily but was surprised to see that Naruto had suddenly appeared "Naruto he's lost control you need to snap him out of it, but please don't hurt him" shouted Mirajane.

Naruto's ocean blue eyes hardened as he focused on Elfman who roared at the blond, "Lisanna got to your Sister now!" said Naruto.

Lisanna nodded and rushed towards Mira as yellow magical hue of energy covered his entire body, Elfman roared and pressed his fist harder into the blond hand.

Naruto responded "Lightning Dragon's Raging Fist".

Naruto swiped Elfman's fist to side and blast the king of beasts away with a lightning charged fist, the power of the strike sent Elfman flying through the air and crashing into the ground.

In his beast mode Elfman roared getting to his feet shaking off the hit, Naruto smirked as he rushed towards the beast man as once again lightning energy covered his entire body. Naruto jumped into the air as he sailed towards Elfman and tremendous speed leaving behind a yellow energy trail, Naruto blazed in and struck the beast man directly in the chest calling out his attack

"Lightning Dragon's Missile"

Elfman was sent crashing to the ground as Naruto jumped away and turned ready for the next attack, meanwhile in the distance Mirajane and Lisanna watching the battle with rapt attention.

"Lisanna where did Naruto come from?" asked Mira.

"I don't know i just gripped my pendent like his told me too and he suddenly appeared" explained Lisanna.

Meanwhile back in the battle Naruto was dodging fist's left and right as the beast man relentlessly attacked the blond.

"Elfman you have to listen to me, listen to reason please i don't want to hurt" shouted Naruto as she hopped up and dashed up Elfman's outstretched arm and flipped over his head and dashed away as the beast man gave chase.

Naruto suddenly turned as she skidded across the dirt magical energy travelled up through his body as a magical seal appeared in front of his mouth, Elfman reared back his fist ready to squashed the blond.

"Lightning Dragon's Roar" cried Naruto as he unleashed a powerful beam of Lightning Energy which struck Elfman in the chest, Naruto then cut the beam and flashed out as he reappeared directly in front of the beast king "Elfman snap out of it will you" shouted Naruto as he landed a solid punch directly to Elfman's cheek, the sheer strength of the hit rocked the transformed Mage sending him down the ground.

Naruto landed gently as she walked towards Elfman to see he had spirals in his eyes, his transformation then slowly started to recede and soon enough he was back to normal as Mirajane and Lisanna rushed over.

"Elf-Nii-Chan" cried Lisanna.

"Elfman" cried Mirajane.

Naruto smiled as the little family reunion he had sensed Lisanna was in danger thanks to the magic he had placed in her pendent, it was thanks to a teleportation seal he had etched into the pendent. Which when Lisanna had gripped it had alerted him to her danger and summoned him to her exact location.

So here he was smiling at the little family reunion until he felt a figure crash into his chest followed by a second and then a third, all of the Strauss Siblings had crushed the blond in a huge hug.

"Thank you Naruto" said Mirajane with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you Naruto-Kun" cried Lisanna hugging the blond fiercely.

Elfman lifted all three Mage's off the ground now having returned to his normal state "Oi Naruto you are a true Man, Thank you" said Elfman with comical tears running down his cheeks.

Naruto chuckled at the situation until Elfman released them all back down the ground, Naruto then smiled at each of the siblings.

"Let's go home shall we" said the blond.

The Siblings agreed wholeheartedly as each of them began the journey back to Magnolia, back home to the guild, home to their family.

Fairy Tail.


Mirajane was suddenly brought out of her memory by the waving hand of Cana, who as usual was propped up against the bar.

"Oi Mirajane lost in dreamland where we?" asked Cana smirking in a slight drunken haze.

Mirajane just shook her head at the drunken Mage's words, it was at that moment she witnessed the blond Dragon Slayer. The same Dragon Slayer who had saved her family all those years ago wave goodbye to her siblings and exit the guild, it was then Lisanna and Elfman walked over to the bar.

"Hey Nii-Chan" said Lisanna happily.

"Hey you two" replied Mira "Was that Naruto i saw leaving?" she asked.

"Yes he said he needed to be somewhere" replied Lisanna.

Mirajane looked confused "Did he say where?" she asked

"Nope sorry" shrugged Lisanna.

Elfman took a large gulp of a offered drink "I think he's got a date" said the muscular mage.

Mirajane's head snapped to her brother at record speed "What makes you say that?" she asked

"Simply really he's a man" announced Elfman to almost the entire guild with his raised voice, he was snapped out of his trance by a solid slap from Cana.

"Enough of that man stuff already" she said.

Lisanna noticed her older Sisters pained expression "Are you ok Mira-Chan?" she asked.

Mirajane nodded before she smiled happily before she went back to her duties making sure the bar was spic and span before she departed from the evening, as the golden light of the setting sun was streaming through the windows of the guild leaving light trails on the floor. But the thoughts of one Satan Soul Mage were locked on one thing, a Dragon Slayer with bright blond hair and ocean blue eyes.


Naruto smiled as he entered his apartment in Magnolia and stones throw from the guild, a modest place and simple in it's furnishings with white walls and dark wooden floors. a soft leather couch and a coffee table above the couch emblazoned on the wall was the symbol of Fairy Tail. The blond mage stepped through the living room removing his white jacket throwing the garment over the back of the couch, Naruto then stepped into his bedroom once again simply furnished with white walls and a gloriously soft king sized bed and wooden side table.

As the blond stepped into the en-suite bathroom as she removed his white t-shirt revealing his heavily muscled body to the cool air of the room, the bright lights from above illuminated the room as he stared into the mirror above the basin before the turned to the glass enclosed shower. The spray soon became hot as steam filled the room as the blond removed the remainder of his clothes and stepped into the enclosure, a smile overtook his face that almost split it in two.

Tonight was the night.


Meanwhile over at Fairy Hills. The adjacent dormitories for the female mages of the guild stood a pondering red head in nothing but a plush white towel in the open doors of her many many wardrobes, why? because she had no idea what to wear for her date tonight.

'What do i wear? What do i wear?' she kept repeating in her mind suddenly very nervous.

'I don't know what your worried about Naru-Kun would probably like you dressed in a sack' said the sword wielding Mages's subconcious.

Erza smiled at her subconscious thought he she began the task of finding the perfect outfit for tonight, ready to blow the blond Dragon Slayer's mind.


Night had descended over the town of Magnolia where many of it's inhabitants were enjoying the quiet nightlife of the prosperous town, in the restaurant quarter stood one tall blond man illuminated in the glow a street light awaiting the arrival of his date.

Naruto stood dressed in black trousers, black boots and a white collared shirt, protected from the slight chill of the evening by a knee length woollen coat. A voice caught his attention as he looked up to see his date approaching, Erza smiled at the blond as she offered his hand which she accepted readily.

Naruto admired her appearance with great interest her tight white jeans almost appeared painted on, her black heeled boots adding to her height her blood red blouse almost matching the colour of her hair. A smart waist length dress coat warded off the slight chill of the evening as they walked further into the quarter.

"Erza-Chan you look amazing" said Naruto smiling.

Erza smiled in returned a small blush creeping up her cheeks "Thank you Naruto, you don't look so bad yourself" said Erza.

Soon enough the pair made there way to Magnolia Town's most popular restaurant named the Magic Circle, Naruto held open the door for the beautiful red head who entered with the blond close behind.

Almost as soon as they pair entered they were greeted by a tall handsome man dressed in a finely tailor suit, Wyatt the owner was a friend of Naruto's and had arranged a private table for the pair tonight.

"Naruto my boy" cried the older man shaking the blond hand firmly "I'm so glad you could join us tonight and you bring company" he said noticing Erza.

"Ah yes Wyatt allow me to introduce..." the owner didn't let Naruto finish his sentence before he lifted Erza hand and kissed it gently.

"A person would need to be hiding under a rock to not recognise the great Erza Scarlet" said Wyatt smiling as he released Erza's hand causing the red head to blush, Naruto chuckled as the owner grabbed some menu's "If you would follow me i have you table set up in our private section" said Wyatt.

Naruto laced his fingers with Erza's as he followed Wyatt through the crowded restaurant, due to their nature as S-Class Mage's of Fairy Tail both were quiet noticeable from the stares they were getting. But that soon stopped as they disappeared behind a red velvet curtain leaded to the private dining room, Wyatt seated the pair and disappeared leaving them in the care of their waiter.

Naruto smiled as his eyes tracked over the menu every once in a while stealing glances towards his date who in his mind looked nervous.

But why?

Erza too perused the menu all the while stealing glances to the blond sat in front of her, they were both alone in the private dining room of one of Magnolia most exclusive restaurants and she was nervous. She had liked the blond from almost the second he had saved her life from slavers and that had only grown over the years that she had known him, she just wanted this to work her as her heart was fragile and she didn't know if she could handle another heartbreak.

"Erza-Chan what's wrong?" asked Naruto.

Erza alerted by the blonds words placed her menu down "I'm sorry Naruto-Kun, I'm just nervous i guess" she said blushing at her declaration.

Naruto smiled and reached across the table once again lacing his fingers through hers, the physical contact almost relaxing the red head "It's alright your not the only one who's nervous, but you know what lets enjoy our dinner and be glad that neither of us cooking tonight" said the blond hoping to breaking the nervousness with humour.

Which worked.

Erza laughed as she once again picked up her menu with a smile ready to decide on something to eat, Naruto wasn't far behind as their waiter returned to take their orders.

Two hours later thoroughly sated by wonderful food and drink and the check covered, Erza and Naruto exited the restaurant into the cool night air both waving goodbye to Wyatt and thanking him for his hospitality.

The pair of Mage's walked hand in hand down the street quietly chatting enjoying each others company, that was until some unwelcome company appeared in the shape of another Fairy Tail Mage one known to all for his combative nature and general disdain for every other guild member.

Laxus Dreyar

"Well, well, well if it isn't Blondie and his pet red head out for a midnight stroll" mocked Laxus as he was joined by several others again all members of the guild and acted as Laxus personnel body guards.

The Thunder God Tribe.

Naruto narrowed his eyes at the arrival of Laxus. It wasn't a secret that they didn't get along almost coming to blows on several occasions only for the Master himself to step in and put an end to things.

"I suggest you close your mouth Laxus before i make you eat my fist along with your teeth" snarled Naruto enraged at the Lightning Mage's words especially to Erza.

Laxus smirked unimpressed by Naruto's threat "Is that supposed to scare me or something" he said.

Erza then stepped forwards her outstretched arm blocked Naruto's attempt to take a run at Laxus, which would happen if this wasn't ended soon.

"Leave Laxus before this I report this to the Master" said the red head glaring at the headphone wearing Mage.

Laxus scoffed at the mention of his Grandfather Makarov before he signalled his cohorts they were leaving, Laxus glared at Naruto as he passed "Next time you won't have your girlfriend for protection" snarled the Lightning Mage.

Naruto returned the glare "You'll be the one that needs protection Baka!" snarled Naruto as Laxus and his cronies walked off into the distance.

Both Naruto and Erza walked the tribe walk off into the distance and disappear into the crowds, The pair soon continued on their way as Naruto walked Erza back to Fairy Hills. Their stood facing each other at the entrance as Naruto leaned in a pressed a soft kiss to the red head's cheek, once again causing the Mage to blush heavily causing Naruto the smile.

"I had fun tonight Naruto-Kun" said Erza smiling.

Naruto returned the smile "I'm glad Erza-Chan, we should do this again sometime"

Erza nodded "Master has received a personnel request for my assistance on a Monster Removal job, I'll be away for the next few days but definitely when I'm back I'll pick the the date theme this time, Goodnight Naruto-Kun" said Erza as she pressed a soft kiss to the blonds cheek and she entered through the main doors.

"Goodnight Erza-Chan" replied Naruto.

Naruto then turned walking back down the path and heading home, just as she passed the exit of the Fairy Hills pathway he raised and fist and jumped into the air, beyond ecstatic about the evenings events and activities and the chance to do it again. The blond whistled a happy tune all the way back to his own apartment only ceasing the high pitched tone when his head hit the pillow of his own bed.

This could be the start of something great.


So we have a flashback and Date Night. Also some aspects may appear slightly OOC and for that I'm sorry sometimes it's hard to remain in character when the situation has never arisen in Canon to work from. But i hope it wasn't too bad.
