AN: Right it has been a while since my last update, so yeah I am sorry about that. Will try and make a few more updates over the next few weeks as I have some spare time before my job starts.
I won't however post anything new until I sort out my old chapter, correcting the grammar and what not. Which I will be doing tonight so watch out for that, I doubt I will add anything drastic to the Story but if I do I will post an author's note telling people.
And so without any further ado the next Chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Fairy Tail, (Kind of obvious but meh!)
Chapter 9
(With Naruto in Clover Town)
"So Naruto you do realise that your maid Virgo is certifiably insane?" Goldmine said as he watches the pink haired maid whip Erigor the Shinigami as he lay on the Clover Town Meeting Hall floor. As Goldmine said this he watched as the other Guild Masters who had attended the conference drank beer and cheered the maid on.
"Yes Goldmine I have to say that thought has crossed my mind, but I think I prefer it that way. After all there is nothing more boring than being normal." Naruto replied with a sigh as he ran his hand through his spiky blond hair pushing his fringe out of his eyes as he did so, before he cracked a smile at Goldmine as he continued. "Besides, I kind of like her. When she is sober she is a masochist and when she is intoxicated she is a sadist, you get the best of both worlds."
"Wow you and Makky real are related aren't you, deep down your both kind of pervy." Was the response he received from the Guild Master of Quatro Cerberus.
"Aww thanks Goldmine!" The blonde said as he sent Goldmine a wink.
"Yeah, that wasn't a compliment." Goldmine deadpanned.
"Oh come on now Goldie, I like Naru's freaky side it is so cute." Bob the Guild Master of Blue Pegasus interrupted as he through his hairy arms around Naruto and started rubbing his bristly chin against the blonde.
"Oh get off of me Bob!" Naruto said as he broke free.
"Oh Naruto you silly goose you, you know you want a cuddle from little old me." Bob replied blowing a kiss at Naruto.
Pushing down his shiver Naruto turned attention back onto the ongoing beat down from Virgo, as he watched the pink haired woman continue to lay into Erigor with her glowing blue and yellow whip; he couldn't help but be entranced by her. Her blue eyes seemed to gleam with playful delight and her lean sculpted figure looked sinful in her tight black body suit as she laid into the grey haired villain. It was almost a shame to stop such a beautiful sight, but unfortunately killing was deeply frowned on in Fiore, both by the King and his court and the Magical Council.
"Alright now Virgo, leave Erigor alone he has had enough." Naruto shouted out getting Virgo's attention, and earning himself some booing from some of the surrounding Guild Masters.
"Aww but master I was having such a good time, his pain is so delicious and the scream... hmm they make me wet." Virgo said as she stopped whipping the quivering Erigor and turned to Naruto a sultry expression on her face as she walked towards Naruto, her hips tantalisingly swaying as she moved.
"Well Virgo you naughty minx you, I think you and me are going to get along just fine," Naruto said as he took a step towards his sexy Celestial Spirit.
"Hmmm, thank you master but…" Virgo started as she sexily licked her lips and took a step towards Naruto, before she spun on her heel and clicked her fingers as she used her magic on Erigor. As she did so a hole appeared in the ground beneath the Ace of Eisenwald, the hole sucking him in until he was buried up to his neck. The only part of his body still visible being his badly bruised face. With that done Virgo looked over her shoulder at Naruto before smirking, "but I am not that easy."
"Ooo you tease!" Naruto smirked himself as he maintained eye contact with his pink haired maid, completely ignoring the pitiful moans from Erigor. It is not like he really cared after all, the man had broken into the Meeting Hall and interrupted the Guild Master conference to kill all of the Guild Masters. Only for him to get his arse kicked brutally by Virgo, it could barely even be called a fight, as she used a surprise axe kick to slam him into the ground before she relentlessly whipped him. It was sad really, for talking such a big game he certainly didn't last very long in a fight.
"Why of course I am master," Virgo replied before her form started glowing as her clothes changed from a skin tight, black leather body suit into a classic maid outfit. "Now how can I continue to serve you master?"
"And she's back to normal." Naruto said a smirk on his face. "Now that's over whose round is it, I think I am sobering up and I don't like it."
"Ha! It is your round Naruto so get the beers in!" Goldmine shouted out as the other Guild Masters in the Meeting hall all started cheering.
"Aww shit!" Naruto said as he pulled out a very battered toad themed wallet, his Gamachan 2.0, which at this had a large amount of jewels in it. "Knowing these old bastards their going to bleed me dry, (sigh) well I can always sleep at the Guild Hall if I miss a few rent payments."
"You can punish me if you think it will make you feel better master?" Virgo now back in her full masochistic maid persona said a hopeful and wicked gleam in her eye as she did so.
"Ohh not this shit again."

(With Erza)
"Looks like we finally made it out." Erza Scarlet mused as she stood dressed in her digging armour, which consisted of a pair of denim dungarees, a digger's helmet and a pick axe. "And about time too, I really must find a way to travel through the ground quicker, hmm perhaps new type of armour."
The rest of the people with her only gave Erza deadpan stares at her stating the obvious, given that every member of the group was currently looking back as the wind barrier continued to rage on the outskirts of the building they had just exited, Oshibana Station.
"Hey, where did Natsu go?" Gray asked, shifting his head and finding not a single trace of Fairy Tail's resident dragon slayer anywhere in the near vicinity.
"I don't see Happy either." Lucy commented as she tried to clean some of the dirt and dust from her clothes, after all you never know when there might be a camera around and she certainly didn't want her debut on Sorcerer Weekly to be of her covered in mud and grime.
"That probably just means that Natsu went after Erigor. Happy is capable of flying at extremely high speeds, so if ever there was a chance to catch up to Erigor, that'd be the one." Erza explained as she re-equipped her armour into her normal armour a silver Heart Kreuz breastplate and a blue skirt. "Though even with that advantage he may not be able to catch him, it took us a long time to escape the wind barrier, far longer than it should have."
"It's no use… after all you're right he'll never be able to catch up to Erigor, and neither will any of you. We can't be stopped now… we've won." Kage stated his face and body covered in bandages as he sat on the floor.
The members of the group scowled down at the beaten and battered form of the Eisenwald shadow wizard, "Hn, whatever so I guess you'll just tie me up and go on your way."
"No."
"What?!" Kageyama asked twisting his head in her direction in shock before he cringed as the sudden movement caused his injuries to flare in pain.
"You'll be coming with us." Erza told him as she grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and started dragging him after her, uncaring of his injuries as she walked with single minded determination to their magic mobile.
"Argh get off me you psycho bitch, these bandages aren't just for show you know!" Kage shouted out as the armoured red head continued to drag him.
Erza merely smiled dangerously at Kageyama's discomfort. Having come to the conclusion that if he were just to be left tied up, that there was a good chance that he would just escape and somehow warn Erigor that they were free and after him. It would be best to keep an eye on this man and if Erigor put up any other barriers like the Wind Wall they would be able to force him to take it down now that he was conscious, after all it wouldn't take her long to persuade him the hard way if she had to.
"Hmm, where is our magic mobile?" Erza suddenly asked as she looked around for where their transport had been only to be interrupted by the arrival of Gray.
While Erza had been intimidating Kageyama, Gray had been busy. He had discovered that their original transport had been destroyed by Erigor and so had, had to find a new four-wheeler for them before driving it back to the station. "Erza, I found a new ride." Gray called out to her from the driver's seat a smug expression on his face as he gestured for them all to get into the back seat.
"Excellent." She praised before unceremoniously tossing Kageyama in the back, before grabbing Gray and doing the same. "I drive! Now tell me what happened to the old one?"
"Hey I was going to drive!" Gray shouted out in protest, before he saw a dangerous expression make its way across Erza's face. "Never mind, just go Erigor must have destroyed the old one before he left so we couldn't follow even if we did escape."
"Very well let's go!" Erza said to Lucy and Gray before starting the four-wheeler. She quickly drove out of town, before deciding to take a more direct route and so steered the vehicle onto the train tracks and started to follow them.

(With Naruto)
"So I have to say this guy was a bit of a disappointment really wasn't he, I mean I was expecting more from someone hoping to kill half the Guild Master's in Fiore." Bob said as he poked at the now unconscious Erigor, who was still buried neck deep in the ground.
"Meh, he was from Eisenwald. That is one of those lesser Dark Guild isn't it, one of the ones that are vassals of the more powerful ones like Grimoire Heart." Naruto replied from where he was sitting drinking some sake, "I mean those types of dark mages are just cannon fodder."
"I know but still, I was expecting so much more."
"What were you expect some dramatic speech about friendship, trust and love? Yeah that is Makarov's thing; I gave up giving speeches to my enemy's years ago. After all it so much easier just to kick their arses." Naruto replied to Bob, before he turned to Virgo who was currently serving drinks to some of the other Guild Master's, "Hey Virgo, could their arses." Naruto replied to Bob, before he turned to Virgo who was currently serving drinks to some of the other Guild Master's, "Hey Virgo, could you do us a favour and take out the trash? It may be funny having Erigon or whatever his name is stuck there, but we are going to need to clean him up eventually, I am actually hoping to get my part of the damage deposit back after all."
"Ok master will do, or maybe I won't. Would you punish me if I didn't?"
"No but if you really want I will punish you if you do, do it."
"So does that mean you don't want me to do it now, as punishments are usually done if you do something wrong."
"No, I want you to get Erigor, tie him up and put him in a safe place. And if you do that I will punish you as a reward."
"Ok master, so if I do something right you will treat me as if I did something wrong, as a reward for doing something right?"
"Errrrrr, yeah sure."
"Alright then master, sounds like fun." Virgo finished leaving Naruto looking bemused and many of the surrounding Guild Masters just looking confused, as she walked up to Erigor and dragged him out of the ground by the scruff of his shirt, which she then used to further drag his unconscious body from the main hall. As this was done she didn't notice as a carved wooden flute fell from Erigor's unconscious body and landed on the floor, the flue tolling several metres before lying still face up, the strange three eyed skull carved onto it just looking up at the ceiling.
"What the fuck is wrong with you people, your all insane the lot of you!"
Came a thunderous voice from the wooden flute, instantly putting all the mages in the room on guard, or at least those who were still conscious, as they all looked around as the vile and dark voice filled the room. It was a very creepy voice, sounding like several different demonic voices talking in tandem.
Staring at the ceiling, more than a few wizards in the building gasped as the saw a gigantic purple magic circle appeared in the air, the magic circle rapidly rotating above them as purple arcs of electricity began firing from the centre of the circle, shattering the surrounding furniture and tearing the roof off of the Meeting Hall building.
"Damn, well there goes the deposit." Naruto sighed before turning to Virgo who had dropped Erigor once again and was looking at the magical circle with an emotionless expression. "Unless you are any good at carpentry Virgo?"
"Can't say I am master, I could probably do a roof made of stone or earth though?"
"Hmm, no I don't think it would really match with the rest of the building. But a good idea though we can come back to it later."
"W-What the hell is wrong with you people?!" One of the Guild Masters shouted at the casually chatting Naruto and Virgo, before he thrust his hand at the magical circle above. "Shouldn't you be more bothered about that? After all what the fuck is it?!"
"I believe it is a magical circle." Was Naruto's snappy reply.
"A very good observation master!"
"Thankyou Virgo."
As the two were talking an oppressive weight had begun bearing down on everyone in the room, the malicious intent and ominous power of it making it hard for many to breath. With only Naruto, Virgo, Master Bob, Goldmine and a few looking completely unbothered by the oppressive power.
"I can't stand it any longer, you inane chatter bores me! I'll devour you all myself, I will rip the souls from your body and remove them from existence!"
In a final explosion, a pair of enormous wooden legs struck down, clawed feet landing on the ground, tearing the wooden floor asunder and ripping what was left of the building to pieces as the demon emerged in full. The demon had a gigantic wooden body, with gaping holes all throughout its middle, twisting and converging into a massively wide wooden chest. Two long wooden arms stuck out from its shoulders, each ending in razor sharp claws. To finish off the gruesome image, the monster had a twisted head with three dark eyes, a long tongue with stuck out as it licked its non-existent lips. The creature's body was truly colossal, as it caused all the wizards on the ground to look up, its body easily towering above the mountains that surrounded the area.
Raising an eyebrow Naruto assessed the demon, for that was what it was, him having dealt with several over the years. "Well that is a big beastie isn't, though it's an absolute bastard though I mean now we are definitely not getting the deposit back."
"You should punish it master."
"Oh, don't worry Virgo I intend to." Naruto replied.
"What the hell is that thing?" One of the Guild Masters of a recently formed Guild shouted out as he pointed at the monstrous creature.
Goldmine seemed to have the answer as he lowered his sunglasses to get a better look before he replied. "That must be a demon from the book of Zeref."
Hearing panicked cries, Naruto looked around as many of the Guild Masters fled, not at all comfortable taking on anything to do with Zeref.
"Humph cowards, ahh well at least this way they won't get in the way. I hope you don't mind if I take this one do you?" Naruto asked Bob and Goldmine as he took a step toward the massive creature, which at that moment seemed to be lumbering around scaring people.
As is it heard, the demon leaned in and scrutinised its new prey. "So, which of you want to be eaten first? It doesn't really matter as I will eat you all in the end, but I might as well ask!"
"I'll go first." Naruto said.
"Yeah sure go for it?" Goldmine replied, before he walked off after the other fleeing Guild Masters.
"Good luck sweet prince, may hosts of angels carry you on your way." Came Bob's strange reply as he blew kisses to Naruto before he too left.
"Have fun master." Was all Virgo said before she created a hole in the ground and disappeared.
With a flare of his magic a cloak of lightning appeared around his body, the lightning seeping into his muscles, cells and nerves charging them with lightning. This was a technique he had created after the Raikage's own famous Lightning Cloak Jutsu, it increased his speed, strength, reflexes and durability. Cracking his lightning clad knuckles, Naruto prepared to meet this monstrous being in combat.
Only for him to be interrupted as he hearing yet a large group of voices drawing nearer, Naruto turned from the demon before him, only for him to see a large gathering of people, all dressed in matching medieval knight outfits, flags upheld by a few of them with strange designs fluttering proudly above their heads. These were the kingdom Rune Knight, an 'elite' force that kept peace in the kingdom.
"In the name of the King, we'll destroy you demon!"
"This guy isn't anything we can't handle! Men, onward with the attack!"
Letting out a loud cry, the large phalanxes of men began charging at the beast. This however only managed to draw the attention of the wooded demon. That responded by raising a brow and roaring. "GET OUT OF HERE, SMALL FRY!"
Inhaling a large amount of air, the massive demon exhaled and fired out a monstrous beam of pure energy. The mountain behind the oncoming battalion was completely obliterated by its power.
"C-Captain the mountain's gone!" One of the soldiers's cried in shock, as the entire came to a halt to view what had just happened.
"E-Everyone retreat!" the captain ordered as all Rune Knights immediately began to run in the opposite direction.
"Yep, that's about right for Rune Knight." Was all Naruto said as he rubbed his lightning covered head as if he had a headache.
"SO! ARE YOU MY FIRST COURSE THEN LITTLE WIZARD!" The demon roared out as it turned its attention away from the fleeing army and instead back onto Naruto. "I WILL FEAST ON YOUR SOUL LITTLE HUMAN!"
"Come at me then, bitch!" Naruto said in response as he increased his magical output, dipping into the titanic reserves of magic that lay in his body.
"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME!" Lullaby roared before it Naruto the earth trembling as it moved. The wooden demon aimed a fist towards lightning clad blonde no doubt hoping to crush Naruto in one move. Unfortunately though its plan didn't work, as when it slammed its fist down on the unmoving Naruto its wooden hand seemed to bounce of upon touching the lightning cloak, as if it had hit a wall. As it pulled its hand back several cracks appeared across the surface, each of the cracks seemed to crackle with lightning, a crackle which seemed to spread as the cracks expanded until they covered the entire fist, which then promptly just turned to blackened dust.
"Well that was disappointing." Naruto said as he watch the massive demon flail back roaring and holding what remained of its hand, a hand that seemed to be regenerating. "Hmm or not, ahh well best get one with it I suppose."
And with that said Naruto launched of the ground, disappearing from sight with a crack as all he left behind him was a crater. With another crack Naruto was at eyelevel with the beast, an ominously glowing and crackling spiralling ball of lightning magic in his hand. "LIGHTNING RASENGAN!"
With that shout Naruto shot forward towards the demon, his Rasengan in hand as he drove it into the beast, before with another crack of lightning magic, he turned his body into his element and appeared back on the ground.
"ARGHHH!" Was the demon's response to Naruto's attack as his Rasengan tore through its chest, grinding away at the wood and causing fire to spread across the damaged sections of it body. Even as the Rasengan continued to bury its way into the beast's chest, right until it destabilised, with Naruto no longer control or moulding the lightning magic it simply erupted out of the condensed ball of power.
The demon merely raised its arms and roared in pain as its chest seemed to expand for a second as all the lightning magic in the Rasengan explode outwards, as it did this parts of the beast's chest started breaking away or disintegrating leaving gaping holes behind.
"DAMN YOU! MY MUSIC WILL KILL YOU NOW!" As the behemoth prepared to play its melody, Naruto just gave it a bored look his lightning cloak fading as he decided he would not need it against such a disappointing enemy. The demon flute brought both its newly regenerated hands to its mouth as if to play an actual flute and took a deep inhaling a ridiculous amount of air as it did so, before releasing it. A whistling sound was all that was heard while Naruto and all the Guild Masters watching in the background could only sweat drop.
"Well that was embarrassing" Naruto muttered, before he sent the demon a pity look. "Performance issues eh? You know I think they have drugs that can help you perform better?"
"RAGHHH!" Was all the response Naruto received as Lullaby tried again, only for it to once again fail.
'He punctured holes, so it wouldn't play its music!' Goldmine mused to himself as he watches the young Naruto Dreyar fight. This was the first time any of the Guild Masters had witnessed Naruto fight and they were in awe. They knew he must have been powerful; otherwise Makarov wouldn't have left him in charge. But this, the blonde Guild Master was fighting a demon from the books of Zeref and was toying with it! 'Hmm clever, almost reminds me of how old Yury Dreyar used to fight.'
"I WON'T NEED MY MUSIC OF DEATH TO KILL YOU!" The beast roared in defiance despite losing its greatest weapon. The wooden demon opened its mouth as it prepared to shoot another magic beam, only this time aimed at Naruto.
Naruto however merely sighed in response. "Let's get this over with, it's time to end this permanently demon." As he said that he took a deep breath and started drawing magic into his lungs. As he did this he began to mould it, before he finally released it using three words of power to give it form.
"LIS SLEN NUS!" (Ice form) instantly from his mouth erupted a wave of freezing cold, ice blue energy that spread out like a wall before it slammed into Lullaby. The magic worked instantly as the demon's legs, arms and torso were all flash frozen in a block of ice. And then to add insult to injury, a lightly sweating Naruto short forward in a blur, his fist crackling with lightning as he slammed it into the centre of Lullaby's chest. Instantly the ice and the body trapped within shattered, Lullaby had completely lost its arms and legs leaving only broken its torso and its as yet unscathed head.
"Y-YOU'RE A MONSTER!" The demon managed to get out as it looked at Naruto in horror.
Naruto merely chuckled in response. "Yeah, well deal with it motherfucker!"
And with that he used his Shout Magic to release a blast of fire, which he held more nearly a minute as it burned and eventually incinerated Lullaby to a crisp. 'God damn I love my magic, some people use Dragon lacrima to become Second Generation Dragonslayers, pussies. Harnessing the primordial dragon magic within each lacrima is much harder but much more badass!"
"Capital show!"
"Way to go Naruto!"
"Oh Naru you sexy beast you!"
Came the shouts from the assembled Guild Masters as they all converged on Naruto, walking across the burnt and pitted ground as they did so. Before Naruto could respond to the now cheering and celebrating Guild Master he was interrupted again.
"Master Naruto!" Came a shout from behind as a magic mobile shoot into view, driving wildly to and fro as it made its way to where Naruto and the Guild Masters were.
"Lullaby, Erigor the Eisenwald Guild." Lucy got out as she ran up to Naruto, with Erza and Gray following on behind.
"Oh hey, what's up?" Naruto replied.
"Master Naruto, Erigor the Shinigami is heading in this direction with the Cursed Flute Lullaby. I believe he is going to use it to kill all the Guild Masters." Erza said as she shoved her way through the crowd until she was standing right in front of Naruto.
"Hmm, yeah that sounds about right. Not to worry though, Lullaby has been destroyed and Erigor defeated. In fact you're a little late to the party?" Was the blonde Guild Masters response.
"What? Well that is good news, I am sorry we are so late Master, Erigor trapped us in Oshibana Train Station and it took us a while to get out. And then we had to try and find that idiot Natsu who had run off." Erza responded head bowed in shame, before she added. "You may hit me in punishment Master."
"Oh no not another one! I swear you and Virgo could probably get together and take notes!" Naruto cried out.
"You called Master." Virgo said as the pink haired maid seemed to rise up from the ground in front of him, kneeling in a submissive bow. "If she is getting punished can I?"
"No! Bad Virgo behave."
"But Master she does have a point, punishments must be upheld if your subordinates do wrong." Erza said.
"I agree with her Master and I have been a bad, bad girl." Virgo said nodding her head along with Erza.
"Am I going mad!?" Naruto shouted out as the two women wanting punishment converged on him, much to the amusement of the other Guild Masters, and the giggling of Master Bob.
"Wait Virgo? As in one of the Celestial Spirits?" Lucy finally interrupted, putting aside her uncomfortableness of the situation, to ask Naruto a question. At Naruto's nod, Lucy instantly smiled with excitement. "Thank you Master Naruto, I can't believe you would do this for me!"
"Ermm, your welcome? I am not sure what for but yeah." Naruto replied confused now, the other having fallen silent to watch the ongoing conversation.
"Why for getting the Virgo's key for me of course," Lucy responded as she made to get at the golden key which at that minute was hanging from a chain around Naruto's neck.
"Woah there girl, I think you maybe a little confused. This is my key and Virgo has made a contract with me," Naruto replied frowning now as he took a step back to get away from Lucy's questing hand.
"What! Don't be stupid Master, you're not a Celestial Mage and so the key would be no good to you." Lucy said frowning herself now.
"Correction I wasn't a Celestial Mage, but now I am. I am sorry Lucy, but I am not giving you Virgo's key." Naruto replied.
"What you can't just become a Celestial Mage, you need to devout your entire life to it. Virgo deserves to be mine as I specialise in that kind of magic." Lucy said now getting annoyed as Naruto continued to refuse to hand the key over, as in her mind she could look after Virgo much better than he ever could.
"I think Virgo can make up her own mind, can't you Virgo?" Naruto said turning to Virgo as he did so.
"Yes and I have made a contract with you Master, a contract that won't end until you decide to end it or die." Was her response a light frown crossed her face as she looked at Lucy.
"So yeah, I am sorry Lucy but I am keeping the key." Naruto said with finality.
"Hn! You don't deserve that key, and I will make you see that." And with those final words Lucy turned on her heels and stormed away.
"Awkward."
"Shut up Gray." Said Naruto as he watches the blonde girl stride off angrily. 'Hmm, this could become trouble later on.'
"Er, Master forgive me for asking but where exactly is the Meeting Hall?" Erza spoke up trying to break up the tension Lucy's departure caused.
"It's around, I mean so of it is over there and some of it is over there." Naruto replied pointing out some of the larger pieces of rubble to the shocked red head.
"You mean you destroyed it Master!" Erza said as she turned on him with a ferocious scowl.
"Well it wasn't my fault." Naruto said taking a step away from the angry red head with a nervous smile on his face.
"Oh it was!"
"Yeah I saw him do it!"
"All his fault, you should have seen it!"
All of the other Guild Masters started shouting as they pointed at Naruto, all trying to blame him for the destruction, so they themselves wouldn't be blamed.
"Oh shut you old bastards." Naruto shouted at them.
"Bad Master!"
Sigh.
"Not you too Virgo!"
AN: Right hope you enjoyed it, exciting stuff next chapter though as Makarov returns will he be happy with Naruto or will he be pissed. Also Galluna Island Arc starts.
And in case anyone is curious there is going to be no deliberate or over the top bashing in this story, I will only write characters reactions and action as how I think they would be in real life.
Also Poll. Results came out in favour of Virgo, Ultear, Mirajane and Edolas Wendy. I am still unsure on the harem front as that kind of stuff can get boring and convoluted. But I do have an idea that incorporates the choices but keeps it interesting and non-cliché.
If it were to be a multiple pairing it would be no more than three, but would most likely be only two. The why is quite simple I am aiming for decent character development and character growth throughout this story. And am trying to represent people as they realistically would be like, so even if there is a multiple pairing it will not be all harmonious with everyone being happy all the time.
So thank you for Reading I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
Please review.
Seagate out.
