Face of a Forgotten Past

I don't own Naruto or Fairy Tail.

Everyone stared in shock as Lumen lowered his head and muttered something in the language of the dragons before turning around and walking away.

"Lumen!" shouted Erza in a rage, "Lumen, why did you kill that child?!"

Lumen ignored her and Erza gritted her teeth.

"Answer me, Naruto!" shouted Erza and finally succeeding in getting Lumen to stop.

"Naruto?" asked Natsu, "His name's Lumen."

"Wendy, remember what Jellal said back when we were trying to stop Nirvana?" asked Erza.

"He said that dragons who take a second name can be controlled if someone knows their true name." said Wendy before she looked back at Lumen, "Which means that Naruto is his true name."

"This world..." replied Lumen as he looked up at the sky, "This world is sick."

"Huh?" asked Gray, "What are you talking about?"

"This world no longer has any light." said Lumen as he sheathed his sword and held his arms open to the sky, "The light of this world has vanished from this world and can no longer give anything its warmth."

"Did he always like to speak in riddles?" asked Lucy of Erza.

"As my last act, I will give this lightless world its final rest." said Lumen in anguish.

"Start making sense!" shouted Natsu as he ran at Lumen with his fist ablaze, "Karyū no Tekken!"

His punch never made contact as it seemed to phase right through Lumen and Natsu was in shock. He looked back up at Lumen and saw the cold and unforgiving eyes looking down at him. Lumen's entire hand turned into a black dragon claw and sliced Natsu across the chest.

"Natsu!" shouted Lucy as Erza and Gray ran forward with Erza equipping her Black Wing Armor as a broadsword of ice appeared in Gray's hands.

Two black wings appeared out of Lumen's back and swatted both Erza and Gray aside while burning them serverly the moment they were touched. They both wailed in pain before the wings receeded. Lumen then looked at Wendy, Lucy, Happy, and Carla and frowned.

"You're all members of Fairy Tail, correct?" asked Lumen.

They were all too scared to answer and Lumen knelt down to them.

"I apologize for harming those who have embraced the last glimpse of light." said Lumen and surprising them all, "It is not your time yet."

He stood up and looked into Wendy's eyes.

"Once my vendetta is finished, I will return and allow you to rejoin the light." he said before he turned into black flames and an enormous cloud of smoke hid his dragon form while a pair of piercing yellow eyes appeared through the smoke that followed the yellow eyes off into the distance.

"Was that really Lumen?" asked Lucy in shock before she realized that her friends were in pain, "Wendy, can't you do anything?!"

"I can't heal these kinds of wounds." said Wendy in worry.

"Well, there has to be something we can do to help them!" said Lucy urgently as she looked around for something to wrap up Erza's wounds.

"Natsu, come on!" said Happy as he cried and tried to wake up the unconscious Natsu, "You've gotta wake up!"

"Ohy, we've got survivors!" came a voice and the only three conscious beings looked off to the side to find about a battalion Rune Knights running toward them.

They took Natsu, Gray, and Erza away quickly while someone that looked like Laxus came up to them.

"That was pretty bold of you people to try and take on Naruto." said the man, "But it was really foolish as well."

"Wh-Who are you?" asked Carla.

"Yury Dreyer." said the man, "Commander of the 501st Magic Battalion and founding member of the Fairy Tail mage guild."

"F-Founding member?" asked Wendy in surprise, "Are you related to Makarov Dreyer?"

"Who?" asked Yury.

"Wait, what year is it?" asked Carla.

"You've stumbled onto a battlefield and that's the question you chose to ask?" asked Yury in surprise, "X690."

"I-Impossible." said Carla.

"What is it, Carla?" asked Happy.

"Where is that book?!" exclaimed Carla in a panic.

The other three looked around before Wendy saw the book lying several yards away. She ran and grabbed it and Yury stared at the book.

"Where did you get that?" he asked.

"Huh?" asked Wendy.

"That book's dangerous." said Yury, "If you read from it, you'd be send into the past of the last dragon that touched it."

"Didn't Natsu read from it?" asked Lucy.

"He did." said Carla, "Natsu read the first two words of that book and we were sent into Lumen's past."

"Eh?!" exclaimed Lucy, Wendy, and Happy.

"So, that means you're all from the future." said Yury in thought, "This is bad."

"Why?" asked Happy.

"Time Travel Magic has extremely strict laws." explained Yury, "By coming back here and interacting with Naruto, you all probably just screwed up your futures. It's even already happening."

"Huh?" asked Lucy before she looked at her companions, "Wendy! Your hair!"

"What about it?" asked Wendy as she held her hair in her hands and saw that it was turning grey, "What's going on with my hair?!"

"It's a time paradox." said Yury, "Say you travel back in time and step on a bug and in the future, you might not actually exist."

"We've got to do something!" exclaimed Carla, "Wendy, can you find anything in that book that could help us?"

Wendy quickly opened the book and seemed surprised.

"There's actually words in this now." she told them.

"What does it say?" asked Yury.

"It says to seek the priestess for help." read Wendy, "What priestess?"

"Oh, the Dragon Priestess!" exclaimed Happy.

"How do you know about that?" asked Yury.

"Lumen mentioned it once in our time." explained Happy, "He said the Dragon Priestess was the one who understood the thoughts and feelings of dragons."

"That's going to be a problem." said Yury.

"Why?" asked Lucy.

"Because the last priestess died just before the war." explained Yury, "Her body and soul were encased in crystal to allow their knowledge to be passed on to the next one but Naruto currently has the crystal."

"There has to be some way we can get help." said Wendy.

"We could try and find the crystal containing the priestess before her." suggested Yury.

"Where do we start?" asked Happy.

Yury pulled out a white horn and took a deep breath before he blew into it. Wendy felt a familiar presence from the horn and something inside of her began tugging on her heart. They soon heard a roar and they all looked up.

"Dragon!" exclaimed Carla.

The white feathery dragon landed behind Yuya and he bowed to it.

"Yury, to what do I owe the pleasure of being summoned?" asked the female dragon.

"These people read a book from the archive and were sent back here." explained Yury to the dragon, "We need help finding the crystal of the last priestess."

Wendy walked past Yury with tears in her eyes and began crying.

"Kaa-san!" exclaimed Wendy as she hugged the dragon's leg, "Kaa-san!"

"Huh?" asked everyone but the dragon.

"This feeling." said the dragon, "I see. You will be taught by me in the future."

"Grandeeney..." sobbed Wendy as Grandeeney wrapped a wing around Wendy.

(Tartartus Guild HQ)

Naruto walked through the halls until he came to a fork in the halls.

"Well, how is our illustrious leader after today's massacre?" asked Mard Gear.

"Can it, you fucking bat." said Naruto as he looked to his left at the demon.

"Oh, what happened?" taunted Mard Gear, "Going to cry to you wife?"

Mard shot down the hall from the force of Naruto's punch and the young dragon clenched his claw. He went into his throne room and looked at the crystal holding Mavis's body and took a seat in the throne next to it.

"You must stop this, Naruto." said the ghost of Mavis as she appeared behind Naruto.

"I know." said Naruto as he hung his head, "But I've already gone too far down this path to turn back now."

"What about those people?" asked Mavis, "They could probably help you."

"How can they?" asked Naruto with sad eyes, "The only thing that could help would be you standing by my side in the flesh."

They both gazed at the crystal containing her body and Naruto placed a hand on it.

"But that can never happen again." said Naruto sadly, "The one thing that's out of my power is the one I want the most."

He drew his sword and looked at the glowing ruins on the blade.

"Frostmourne." muttered Naruto, "The blade of pure darkness once wielded by Zeref. Any who are cut down by this blade have their souls added to the countless others slain by this blade to increase its powers."

"What do you hope to achieve by killing Zeref?" asked Mavis curiously.

"His sick power was what took you from away." replied Naruto as his eyes turned yellow and glowed, "So, I will use mine to take away this world he cherishes so dearly."

(Back in the Present)

Lumen awoke with a started and groaned as he held his head and sighed. He took a drink of dragon blood and looked to see he was in Lucy's apartment. He looked at the ground and saw the almost transparent bodies of Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, Wendy, Happy, and Carla on the ground.

"Huh?" asked Lumen before he reached into his cape to find that the book Mard had given him was missing, "Those idiots."

He hopped out the window and darted for Fairy Hills.
