Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Fairy Tail
Author Notes at the bottom.
"Ugh, my stomach feels awful." Moaned a sickly looking Naruto, who was sprawled over a train seat. Sitting across from him were Mirajane and Makarov who looked on in pity.
"Haven't you ever taken a train before Naruto?" asked a curious Mirajane.
"Nope, never took a train before, because I could always just run or fly wherever I needed to. If I had known I would feel this awful I wouldn't have ever stepped on this devil machine." Replied a still moaning Naruto.
"Ugh, Gramps! Distract me with something interesting about magic!" yelled Naruto sickly.
"Hmm? There's all kinds of interesting things about magic. It's impossible to just choose one. You need to be more specific." Stated Makarov. Usually, he would let his fairies learn about magic by themselves, but he felt pity for Naruto at the moment.
"Fine, what sort of legendary magics does Fairy Tail have?" This was part of what piqued Naruto's interest when he heard about Fairy Tail. He heard that they had some amazing magics and he wondered what sorts they had.
"Well, we have three legendary magics that were used by our founder Mavis Vermilion. They are Fairy Glitter, Fairy Law, and Fairy Sphere. I myself know Fairy Law, it's what I used to defeat Jose. Fairy Glitter, I have heard it uses light to attack. How it does this, I do not know. The last one, Fairy Sphere is unknown to me. I know of its name, but I have no idea what it actually does." Seeing that Naruto was know quite distracted by his explanation, he turned to Mirajane.
"So, Mira are you going to the beach, maybe have an impromptu swimsuit contest with all of the other girls there?" Grinning much too widely, he began to imagine all of the swimsuit clad girls he would see on his little vacation.
Shaking her head back and forth, Mirajane allowed Makarov to have his little fantasy. More likely than anything, he would get drunk and waste all of his money at the casino and he would probably get thrown out for harassing the women. Smiling at the thought, she turned to Naruto who had begun to complain about his stomach pain again.
Looking him over, she decided that he looked a lot better with his new clothes. A black shirt with a red vest. Dark orange pants, with brown shoes. It was simple, but it suited him. He didn't care much for flamboyance. In a few years he would be quite handsome, too bad she was so much older than him. That and the fact that he was so short for his age. Actually, that wasn't normal.
"Naruto?" Hearing his name called, Naruto turned to look at Mirajane. "Huh?"
"I hope you don't get mad about this, but why are you so short? It's not normal to be so short for your age." Hearing genuine concern, he didn't get mad at the comment. He was wondering if he should really tell them about his condition. Sighing, he knew that he would have to tell them, but not necessarily at this moment. After all, they came to enjoy their vacation. His news would make that impossible.
"It's a condition I have. Don't worry about it. I'll tell you all later. We came to enjoy ourselves. So let's do that alright?" The grin on his face was infectious enough to make Mirajane smile brightly and forget about her worry.
"Okay then Naruto. Do you want to join me at the beach when we get there? I'd like to have a friend there who won't gawk at me. Well, someone who won't gawk as much. You're still a growing boy after all. Unless, of course you don't like girls in that way." Her smile was slowly growing upon seeing Naruto's face go through countless expressions.
"I do not like guys like that!" His loud yell was enough to snap Makarov out of his daydreaming and catch the attention of everyone else in the train car. Mirajane couldn't contain the laugh that bubbled out of her throat as Naruto's face turned several shades of red.
"I'm just gonna go to sleep now." His muffled response made Mirajane laugh hard enough that she fell out of her seat and onto the floor. Makarov could only look at the two with a confused expression on his face.
"Hmm, so out of Hargeon we take a carriage to the Akane Resort. Screw that, I have a magic four wheeler, one of you two can drive and I'll supply the magic." Activating his requip, he brought out the magic four wheeler he had confiscated from the Grimoire Heart grunts.
"It's alright Naruto. I'll drive and supply the magic. You two just relax inside. I've always wanted to drive one of these." The grin on Makarov's face was telling Naruto not to let him drive it, but he just couldn't say no.
Walking around to open the door for Mirajane, he whispered to her. "If this thing starts to tip sideways grab onto me and I'll bust us out." Seeing her nod and smile, he went inside after her. Sitting next to her, Naruto put his feet up on the seat across from him, however he began to frown when he realized he could just barely reach the other side. Hearing Mirajane giggling, he looked toward her direction with a frown on her face, but it just made her giggle even more. Sighing in defeat, he decided to just sit up.
Hearing the engine roar to life, Naruto prepared himself by holding onto the seat with both hands. However, this proved useless as the moment the four wheeler began to move he began to feel motion sickness and he toppled over onto Mirajane's lap. Mirajane just took this in stride and began to stroke his strangely soft hair.
"I am never riding on any machine ever again!" Naruto's yell had only made Mirajane and Makarov laugh. The trip had gone smoother than Naruto had believed it would considering what he saw on Makarov's face. Still, he got to lay on Mirajane's lap which isn't something a lot of people can claim to have done, so he considered it a good trade off.
"You two check in. I'm gonna go to the casino! MWOHOHOHOH!" His laugh made everyone near him clear a path straight to the casino. Mirajane and Naruto just stared at his diminishing form and then just turned back to each other and shrugged. Makarov wasn't their problem to deal with during this little vacation.
"What do you mean you don't have another room?" Naruto and Mirajane had been successful in checking in, but they found out that the resort only had two rooms left. That meant that they would have to double up in one of them.
"I'm sorry sir, we've been having a very busy season, and because of it we are often completely booked. You are actually lucky to even get two rooms." Sighing, Naruto accepted the rooms. Looking at Mirajane, she just smiled and shrugged. There wasn't anything they could do, so they would just make the best of it.
"I guess I'm going to be bunking with gramps. I just hope he doesn't snore too badly after he gets drunk." Giggling at his lament, Mirajane put her finger to her lips in thought.
"You can stay with me in my room if you don't mind sharing a room with a girl." His blushing cheeks sent Mirajane into another giggling fit.
"I don't know if that would be right."
"Nonsense Naruto. We're guildmates, and we trust each other. If we didn't then I wouldn't have suggested it." Her bright shining smile helped win him over to her idea.
"Alright then. Let's get this stuff into the room." Carrying their luggage, they went towards their room.
"Ahh, this water feels great! Naruto! Hurry up!" Turning back towards the beach, Mirajane could see that Naruto was arguing with a person renting out surfboards. Sighing, Mirajane just dipped under the water and began to swim under it.
Being a mage had many perks and one of them was superhuman abilities, even when not using magic. This included better lung capacity, which meant she could stay underwater for a lot longer than a regular human. Because of this she was able to swim quite a ways away from the shore and into the deeper part of the ocean. Feeling her lungs beginning to protest the lack of air, she began to swim up towards the surface.
Breaking the surface, she began to take great gulps of air and took in her surroundings. She was quite a distance away from the shore. Looking around, she couldn't spot Naruto until she dived under a wave and saw that Naruto was riding it.
Feeling eyes on his back, Naruto turned his head back and saw that Mirajane. Waving at her, he turned his head back and swung his arms forward. This made his surfboard moved away from the wave and towards where Mirajane was. Pulling up along side her, he gave her his hand and pulled her up onto his surfboard.
Grinning at her, he only said one thing, "Hold on."
With that he made the surfboard pick up speed quickly which made Mirajane hold onto him unless she wanted fall off. Making a wave rise with his magic, he began to ride the inside of the hollow of the wave keeping in front of the crashing water and putting his hand into the wave itself. Looking back at Mirajane, he saw that she was enjoying herself completely. Laughing at the sense of jubilation surging through him, he turned and launched off the wave.
He flipped through the air a few times with Mirajane screaming in his ear, he landed behind the wave and rode it down onto calm waters. Laughing, he turned to look at Mirajane when he saw a glow in the distance. Activating his Battle Archive, he zoomed into the glow and saw gigantic glowing magic seals in the sky.
The seals themselves were rotating slowly, but it looked like they were beginning to stop. Not even a second after they stopped, a bright light came from above them and struck a structure under the seals. The light blinded Naruto for a few moments, until it faded away and in the structures place was a gigantic lacrima. Getting a bad feeling in his stomach, he turned to Mirajane and saw that she was worried about the light as well.
"I'll drop you off, so you can inform Gramps. I'm gonna go check it out." Seeing her nod, Naruto sped towards the shore with Mirajane clinging onto him from the sheer speed. Once he arrived Mirajane jumped off and ran towards the Casino. Seeing her go off quickly, Naruto requiped his clothes on and took off flying. He had a feeling that he needed speed more than power at the moment so he combined Aera with his fire and wind magic once more.
Quickly reaching top speed, he began to observe the lacrima as he got closer. Looking at it he could tell it was unstable. There was way too much concentrated magic there. It was already beginning to fall apart, so if left alone it would explode. That was the worst case scenario, but it was a likely one.
Arriving at the tower, he didn't expect to hear a voice in his head.
'What in heaven are you doing that was able to wake me up?' Looking left and right, he realized that he recognized the voice.
"Umm, I'm not doing anything. I'm actually just flying here in the air, investigating this giant lacrima." Still looking around, he realized that the voice was actually just in his head.
'Is there anything strange about this 'lacrima' you speak of? It might be possible that there was enough concentrated magic that it was able to jolt me into consciousness just from being near it.'
'Well, I know that it's unstable and that it will probably blow up. I'm gonna absorb some to see if we can break it down without having it blow up.' Placing his hand on the lacrima, he began to absorb the magic it contained to see what he could find out about it.
As he absorbed it he began to feel traces of elemental magic inside it. Which was strange because this magic as a whole didn't have any of those properties. Maybe it was a mixture?
Activating all of his Archive, he began to brake down the sample he absorbed with his own magic. It was a quick process, and a few seconds later one of the screens had the breakdown of the sample. It was a mixture of elemental magics that when combined together were far more powerful than when separate. However, it didn't just end at that. When the elemental magics were combined together the new magic mixture began to to exhibit new properties. One of them happened to be the ability to exceed through space-time.
In theory, if it could be aimed well enough, then it would be able to target someone in the past, or if it wasn't used as an attack then it would work as a way to open up dimensional walls. Overall, it was an extremely advance magic that Naruto doubted anyone would be able to pull off by themselves.
'Now I know what happened. I have seen this type of magic before. They are done in honor of the Almighty. More than likely, this changed after knowledge of the original purpose was lost. It is because of the method used to form this magic that I awoke.'
'Well, that's interesting, but it doesn't tell us how to break the magic apart. I doubt I would be able to absorb even a tenth of it. Maybe a fiftieth, but that would be pushing it. I can't think of any way to dispose of this safely, and I doubt Gramps will get here in time.' Rubbing the back of his head, he let out a sigh.
'I am completely and totally out of ideas.'
'I might be of assistance.'
'Huh?' Naruto was surprised considering how weakened Gabriel was.
'If you would let me, I would be able to use your magic to open a gateway into another dimension and drag this into it. However, I do not know if you would have enough magic for something that large. More than likely, you will have to constantly absorb magic from the lacrima as I try and open a portal large enough to swallow the entire lacrima.'
'Nothing is ever easy. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to hold onto the lacrima as I know this is going to be painful. I'm gonna have to integrate into the lacrima and that itself is going to be painful. Oh well, nothing worth while is easy.'
Putting his hands on the lacrima, he began to get absorbed into the lacrima, but it was painful. The lacrima was trying to force him out which only made it more difficult. Taking deep breaths, he forced himself completely into the lacrima. The pain was greater than he had believed it would be though. Feeling as though he was surrounded by some sort of gel, he was able to orient himself quickly and he began to absorb as much magic as he possibly could. He could already feel his body protesting absorbing such a large amount of magic.
'Any time now, Gabriel!'
Instantly, he felt a drain in his magic that only increased. Widening his eyes in panic, he began to absorb even more magic from the lacrima. Even as he was absorbing as much as he could, he could feel that he was only just staying ahead of the drain. Worst yet, he could feel the tower begin to distort and for some reason it was shaking.
However, he found out why a bit afterward when he saw Natsu, crash through several layers of lacrima. Only, it wasn't the same Natsu that he knew. This Natsu had scales!
Though it wasn't the same kind that Gajeel had, these seemed to have formed from his skin. Just looking at him, he felt something click in his mind, but he couldn't pay attention to it as he was still trying to keep ahead of Gabriel. An instant later, Natsu just flew back the way he came, except he was at least twice as fast as he was before. Seeing him go, Naruto focused back on absorbing magic.
However, a few minutes later, he could feel something connect with his mind. In a flash, he saw himself flying above a cemetery and he recognized all of Fairy Tail being there, crying. He even saw himself there, though he wondered what he was seeing.
He found his answer when he saw a tombstone with Erza's name. He was staring in shock until he saw Erza floating a little lower than him. Moving towards her, he saw she was crying. Putting his hand on her shoulder, she jumped realizing that she wasn't alone.
"Sacrificing yourself for others is noble, but you have to wonder if it's worth the pain you cause others. Everyone at home will tell you it's not worth it. So you have to live Erza. Also, wear dresses more often. You're very beautiful and you should show it off more." Ending his speech with a giant grin, he was glad he could make her smile before she was pulled out of the lacrima.
Opening his eyes, he began to absorb the magic even faster than before. He couldn't allow himself to die saving everyone after what he just said to Erza, so he was gonna make sure he survived.
'The spell will begin in a few minutes. Now you'll have to brace yourself as I had to tweak the spell. Instead of sending the lacrima into another dimension it will instead all be sent directly into your magic container.'
Naruto really couldn't believe what he was hearing. Gabriel was going to kill them both. Even after he made that little speech to Erza. 'What? You are going to shove this absolutely gigantic pile of pure concentrated magic into my magic container? I can't handle that! No human can handle that! I'll explode!'
'It's true, most humans wouldn't be able to contain such a massive amount of raw power, but you can. I couldn't see it at first, but you, Naruto Uzumaki, are special among your kind. You were born with a body with the ability to adapt to your conditions. That was why I was able to rest inside your soul. Your body adapted to the change that it felt from your soul. Your body will adapt to the increase in magic and find a way to prevent your body from falling apart. However, it won't be painless. You will probably never feel pain as great as this ever again, but you will be stronger for it.
However, making you go through this pain was not my intention, but I believe that you will need it in the future. Most of my power is gone, but I still have a strong connection with reality. From that connection I can glimpse that you will be facing pain and hardship like none you have ever faced before. I can not see what you will be facing, but I have faith that you will survive it and come out stronger.'
'God damn it.'
'Do not use the Almighty's name in vain!' Scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, Naruto blushed forgetting that he had a neighbor.
'Sorry, forgot you could hear my thoughts. If you believe that I will need this much power, then I will go through with your plan. Could have informed me a bit sooner though.' Naruto didn't know if it was possible, but it felt like Gabriel was embarrassed. However, before he could even say anything, the spell activated.
A large black orb began to expand from Naruto's stomach and began to surround him. Once it was slightly bigger than Naruto himself it began to draw in all of the lacrima around him. From the outside it looked as if the tower was beginning to implode on itself.
On the shore looking at the lacrima were the Fairy Tail mages. Everyone had crowded around Erza once Natsu had rescued her. However, no one could understand what was happening until Mirajane and Makarov had arrived at the beach. Looking at the group, Mirajane and Makarov's worry only grew.
"Where's Naruto?" That single question made everyone pause. Erza then remembered who else she had seen inside the tower.
"He was inside the tower! I thought I was just hallucinating, but he spoke to me. That means he's the one casting the spell!" That got everyone's attention as they hadn't known that Naruto was there.
"Hmm, I didn't think he would have the ability to do something like this. It seems like there more to Naruto than we thought." Makarov's voice wasn't enough to tear people away from the scene in front of them. The tower slowly broke apart and was absorbed by the black orb. It was quite amazing to actually look at, but for the one experiencing it, it was only pain.
Naruto could not scream. He could not see. He could not move. He could not think. The pain was debilitating. It felt like every single nerve cell was on fire. He wanted the pain to end. He wanted to hide. He wanted to run away. Nothing was worth this amount of pain.
Suddenly, he could think.
He didn't know what snapped him out of it, but he was glad for it. As he began to grit his teeth, he clenched his fists together. He couldn't control the spell, but he could feel that it was nearing completion. All he had to do was endure the pain for a little bit more. Grinning at feeling the spell reach completion, he allowed himself to relax.
A second later, Naruto began to scream. Once again, he was assaulted with pain. His body was trying to assimilate the magic, but it was failing. It quickly began to leak out of him in an increasingly expanding orb. He could feel his body begin to slowly fall apart within the torrent of magic. He tried to hold it together, but it was useless. In a matter of moments his body would disintegrate. He could feel himself losing consciousness.
'I make this big speech about not dying for your friends and here I go against it. This really sucks.' Losing consciousness soon after, he did not see something strange occur. His Rinnegan began to glow a deep purple. It quickly began to reconstruct his body, bringing him back from the death. It then began to integrate the magic around it into the newly created body. Once finished, it stopped glowing. Hanging in the air for a moment, Naruto began to fall.
The moment his head went under the water, his eyes snapped open and Naruto flew out of the ocean. Trying to calm his racing heartbeat, Naruto began to patting down his body.
"I'm alive? How? Gabriel, did you do something?" Naruto expected to feel Gabriel's presence in his mind, but he felt nothing. Looking around himself, Naruto assumed that controlling that much magic was tiring when not at full strength, so Gabriel probably went back to sleep. Finally feeling calm, Naruto noticed that his clothes were in pretty good condition strangely enough. Which was strange because he remembered having his body torn apart by the torrent of magical energy. Shrugging it off, Naruto began to glide back towards the shore, unaware of the fact that everyone on shore could feel his presence from miles away.
"Master, what's going on with Naruto?" Mirajane's voice shook a bit when she spoke. After all, Just an hour ago she knew that Naruto's presence was nothing like this. This presence was large, intimidating, suffocating. At first she believed she was hallucinating, but as it got stronger she knew for a fact that this power belong to Naruto. The only thing that she didn't understand was, if he had so much power why didn't he use it against Phantom Lord?
Everyone around Mirajane felt the same, except for Makarov. They couldn't understand what was happening either. This presence was nothing like they knew Naruto to be like. It felt like they were in the presence of a higher existence than them. They felt insignificant and it only got worse as Naruto got closer.
Makarov, himself was thinking deeply. He knew of many different ways that this sort of feeling could be invoked, but he didn't know if Naruto knew any of them. He also knew that in order to make sure that things didn't get worse he would have to act quickly.
Seeing Naruto about to land, Makarov moved quickly and sent a burst of extremely powerful sleep magic into Naruto's face. Makarov knew that something changed when Naruto was actually fighting off the magic until he sent another blast of it. Catching Naruto before he fell, he turned and walked away from the group who were doing their best to understand what had happened.
"Naruto and I will return after I have had a word with him. All of you return to your rooms and treat your injuries. Also, have some fun at the Casino! It was fixed quickly after Erza was captured, so make sure to win some money!" The last part was said with a laugh. He didn't need them to think that he was going to punish Naruto. He just needed to know what happened.
"Mmm, that was some good sleep. Why am I outside?" Naruto was a slow riser, so it took him a few moments to remember that Makarov had knocked him out. Quickly jumping to his feet, he looked around looking for Makarov and found him sitting on a boulder a few feet away from him.
"What the hell Gramps! You didn't need to knock me out! I was all happy to see all of you and I was gonna give you all a great big hug and what do you do? You hit me with sleep magic! Twice!" With a finger pointing straight at Makarov's face, Naruto couldn't tell that Makarov was trying to be serious.
"Naruto. What did you do to the giant lacrima?" Any other time, Naruto's face would have sent Makarov laughing, but at the moment he had to be serious.
"Huh? Oh, well I got rid of it." Makarov knew that there was more to it, because you couldn't just get rid of something like that.
"Tell me what you did." Seeing that Makarov was being serious, Naruto decided to actually tell him almost everything.
"Well, I cast a spell that would let me absorb the giant lacrima into my body." Seeing that Makarov was just staring at him, he began to fidget.
"Do you know what sort of effect that much magic would have on you?" Seeing that Naruto was not understanding, Makarov pointed off to the side. Following his finger, Naruto saw that there were actually three stone pillars surrounding them. Looking up, Naruto saw that there was a glowing magic circle above them. Looking back to Makarov, Naruto noticed that he was actually sweating a bit.
"This spell is a Maximum Defense Seal that is being supported by the Three Pillar Gods. It's taking the full strength of this combination spell in order to completely suppress your presence. What ever you did, it has caused your very presence to pulse with power. Your existence itself is something that has never been seen before. You are more a being of magic now than a human. I do not know what sort of consequences this will have, so it must be kept a secret. However, your own presence is having an adverse effect on your surroundings."
Looking around himself, Naruto couldn't tell what Makarov meant. Seeing that Naruto wasn't seeing what he meant, Makarov decided to give him a hint.
"Sense the magic in the air around us." Finally understanding, Naruto instead activated his Battle Archive. Focusing on the magic in the air, he could see what Makarov felt. His own magic was releasing a pressure that was affecting his surroundings. Looking at Makarov, he could see that Makarov was using his own magic to combat the pressure.
Breathing deeply, he began to try and restrain his magic. He was having some success as he could see that it was no longer trying to smother Makarov's own magic. However, it was difficult keeping it reined in. It kept trying to just spread out.
"It's hard to keep it restrained. I'm gonna have to learn to keep this up all the time, right?" No longer feeling smothered, Makarov regarded Naruto with a critical eye.
"You are going to have to get used to restraining your magic. All powerful wizards have to. Well, just keep practicing and try to keep slip ups to a minimum. Now let's go. I want to get drunk."
"I can't believe we got all of Fairy Tail banned from the Akane Resort." Walking sulkily back toward Magnolia Town Lucy complained the entire time on the road.
After Naruto and Makarov had returned at night everyone had gathered at the beach in order to to begin the Fairy Tail Farewell Ceremony. While Naruto didn't know Erza's friends, he was saddened that they had chosen to leave, but he could understand their reasons. He himself had the same reasons when he had been forced to leave his village.
After that everyone went to have fun again. Except that Makarov got drunk, Erza got mad she lost money, Natsu destroyed a bunch of machines, Gray stripped, and Lucy tried to keep everyone calm which only made things worse. In the end, the resort had ended up banning anyone from the Fairy Tail guild, and sent them the bill for the damages.
"Don't worry about it Lucy. It's only for 5 years. We've been banned for far longer." As always Mirajane tried to perk her up. It wasn't working.
"Bah, who cares if we've been banned. I'm just happy they didn't press charges. We have enough trouble keeping the Magic Council from trying to arrest us so I could only imagine what would happen if we got in trouble with the normal law enforcement." Makarov's logic was at least able to stop making Lucy sulk.
"I wonder if they've finished the guild yet? There wasn't much left to finish." Naruto's question was answered when they saw the guild. Walking up to it, they were able to see that it now looked like a castle. Gawking at it, they walked through and noticed that it now contained an open air cafe and a gift shop.
As Natsu and them stayed to talk to Max, who maned the store, Naruto, Mirajane, and Makarov went inside to see how everything was. As they walked through they hadn't expected for everyone to start swarming them yelling in celebration.
However, Naruto soon realized that they weren't happy that he or Makarov were there, they were happy that Mirajane was back. They were swarming all over her crying and screaming about how happy they were that she was back. Mirajane was trying to get everyone to calm down, but apparently they wouldn't listen. Sighing, Naruto made it rain on them. Once everyone was glaring at him, Naruto made his way to Mirajane and sucked off all of the excess water on her.
Once Mirajane was all dry she asked Reedus what was going on. As he tried to dry himself off, he answered, "Cana is horrible at working the bar! She serves the drinks and then she drinks them! She even takes our money afterward!" Seeing that everyone was agreeing with Reedus, Mirajane looked at Cana.
Cana was doing her best to look anywhere, but at the group that was staring at her for taking their drinks. Mirajane instead just shook her head and went straight back to work as everyone cheeered. The cheer didn't last long though, as the lights dimmed and a curtain was pulled to show Gajeel in a suit with a guitar preparing to sing.
The instant the curtain was pulled the guild was divided into two. One half stood in front of the stage and the other half was at the farthest wall from the stage. As Gajeel began to sing the one near the stage screaming their support for the song, while the other half just began to throw anything they could get their hands on, and one of Fairy Tail's famous brawls began.
It was unfortunate that the brawl began because the moment it did, Makarov came out of his office with Juvia next to him. He was going to formally introduce her to the guild, but that took a backseat the moment he saw a brawl start in his shiny new guild. As he began to cry at the damages, Juvia just stood next to him until she saw Gray. The moment she did she skipped over to him.
Naruto tried his best to stay out of the brawl at the moment as he really wasn't sure if he could keep his power contained in a fight yet. Still, it was nice to be back after what happened at the resort. Sitting at the bar, he shared a smile with Mirajane as he saw Gajeel and Natsu exchange kicks in the air.
"Okay, so you're telling me that ever since the guild was finished, Gajeel has been doing concerts here? And half the guild likes the songs, while the other half violently hates it?" Seeing Macao nod his head, Naruto began to laugh. Who would have thought that Gajeel would win over the guild with his crappy singing?
"So have Levy, Jet, and Droy have gotten over what happened?" That was something he was worried about. He didn't want his friends to be antagonistic to each other.
"Well, Levy just wants to get over it, but Jet and Droy are still angry as all hell. I just think they're mad because they got beaten up in front of Levy. It's a pride thing. They'll probably try and jump Gajeel later on, and from what I've seen of him, he feels guilty that he attacked them, so he'll probably let them beat him around for a bit." Sighing because he knew that Macao was right, Naruto laid his head down the table and looked around the guild. Except that he saw Gajeel following Jet and Droy.
Getting up, he waved goodbye to Macao, Wakaba, and Cana. Following behind the group he made sure to not be seen. As they arrive at their destination, Naruto realized where they were at. It was the scene of where Gajeel riveted Team Shadow Gear to the tree. Looking back at the group, he saw that Levi was hiding behind the tree. He couldn't hear what was being said, but from the way that Jet and Droy were standing they were going to attack Gajeel.
As much as Naruto wanted to help Gajeel, he knew that he wanted them to attack him so that he could stop feeling so guilty. So he let it happen. It was interesting to see how strong Jet and Droy really were. The only problems he could see was that Droy's magic required those seeds to activate, so what would happen if he ran out? Shaking his head to clear it of those thoughts, he noticed that there was another guy there. A blonde haired guy that had headphones on?
Looking closer, he activated his Battle Archive to get a better look. However, the moment he saw sparks come out of those headphones spike things, he moved. Standing in front of Gajeel he raised his hand and drew the lightning towards himself and absorbed it.
"Whew, now that is some seriously strong lightning magic. It's almost like you actually wanted to seriously hurt someone." The look on the guys face only made Naruto's smirk grow larger.
"Who the hell are you, brat?" The pulsing veins in the guys forehead told Naruto that the guy had serious anger issues.
"Naruto Uzumaki, now who the hell are you, ya bastard?" The increased pulsing only served to make Naruto smirk even more.
"Naruto, be careful. He's Laxus, he's the master's grandson. He's incredibly powerful." Jet's warning, only served to make Laxus angrier.
"You worms, be quiet!" Laxus sent a bolt of lightning at Shadow Gear, but Levy was in it's direct path. Moving quickly, Gajeel blocked the attack before Naruto could absorb it.
"Are you done yet? I have work to do." Walking away, Gajeel held his arm close to his body trying to get his arm to stop twitching.
"Gajeel wait!" Levy's plea went unanswered as Gajeel walked away.
Seeing Laxus walk away, Naruto got a feeling that things were going to get bad soon.
So, I haven't updated in months because I was worrying about tests, school, and failing.
Plus, my cousin got me addicted to a cartoon on tv. Also, the new powers of the Rinnegan are insane. I'm trying to see how to integrate that into my story.
Also, I've come up with an original arc for this story, but you won't see it for quite some time. Oh, who else is excited about the Fairy Tail movie? I am, but I don't know Japanese, so I can't see it when it comes out until it's subbed. That makes me sad.
So how do you think this chapter came out?
