-Chapter 11-

"What do you mean you can't smell him anymore!" yelled Erza as Natsu was sniffing at the beach

"His sent disappears along with several other scents into the ocean" said Natsu feeling oddly proud of himself but concerned for Naruto at the same time

"Do you think someone kidnapped him?" asked Gray his shirt blowing off his body before he chased after it.

"There's no way he would have been captured so easily" said Erza looking up at the midnight moon and recalling the events that led them to this beach shore.

It had only been a while after Naruto had left her room when Natsu came barreling into it looking around frantically.

Apparently he had heard a roar and recognized it as Naruto's, knowing or at least thinking that he was with her he came rushing into her room. Where they then proceeded to look for him together only stopping to get Lucy, who was in a different room, all the while Gray had followed Natsu to Erza's room.

They'd followed Naruto's scent to Cliff where the grass was blackened and the some of the surrounding trees where broken down.

Following the scent from there led them to the coastline they were all currently standing at

"Hey over here" called out Natsu from down the beach getting everyone's attention

There behind the son of Ingeel was a set of small boats covered in a Beige tarp… a clear trail along the sand indicated that another boat had been there recently.

"What are boats doing out here" asked Lucy grabbing the tarp and examining it. They seemed to be magical since from a distance they made the boats blend in perfectly but up close a blind man could see them.

"It doesn't matter everyone get in were going after Naruto" said Erza quickly setting herself in the boat

"Ughh wait a second how will we track him down through the ocean?" asked Gray making Erza slip off her chair a little

"Can't Natsu just smell the water or something" asked Lucy

"It doesn't really work that way" said Gray sweat dropping along with everyone else " Besides the idiot will get so sick he won't even be able to spell his own name… not that he could do that anyways" said Gray already turning his head as Natsu's collided with it each of them glaring at the other

"What was that you Icicle" said Natsu fire coming alive on his fist

"I said-" started gray but was unable to finish as feet smashed both of them into the ground the owner standing proudly on their backs

"We have no time for that…. Does anyone have any real suggestions" asked Erza getting some huffs form the boys and a nervous expression from Lucy as Erza stared her down

"Um Juvia can help" said a timid voice emerging from the forest at the edge of the beach.

Turning their heads everyone went wide eyed at seeing one of the elemental four from Phantom lord.

"Wait you're-" began gray again only for Erza to use his head like a stepping stone as she walked towards the girl who started to regret her decision to come out from behind the trees and thus not only possibly anger one of the most powerful women in Fiore but also lose her time stalking…. I mean following Gray-sama.

"I won't ask what you're doing here, I won't ask what your intentions are but I want to know how you can help us" asked Erza an almost pleading look in her eyes

"Juvia can feel the magic in the water, even from here Juvia can feel the dark magic that left this beach not too long ago. It stains the water like thick oil. I'm sure that Juvia can lead you to where they took your friend" said the Blue haired woman as she dug her toes into the sand

She was surprised when she was wrapped up suddenly in a hug by Erza only to be quickly release

"Alright you heard her let's go find Naruto" said Erza jumping back into the boat and letting Gray and Natsu push it into the water….. after they pushed it down to the shoreline with her, and her armor weighing it down. It didn't help that Juvia and Lucy got in as well

"Push you damn hot head PUSH" cried out Gray as they boat made progress towards the shoreline. Little Progress keep in mind but still progress

Ignoring the ramblings of Gray and Natsu Erza looked on towards the ocean…. 'We'll find you Naruto and this time I'll save you' thought Erza

An Hour Before

On his knee's Naruto was coughing on the ground small traces of blood being scattered on the grass which was now as dark as night.

"H-Hey he's supposed to be completely knocked out how is he still even on his knee's" said a very cubic like man appearing out of the forest along with a large man with an iron jaw and a tanned skin man with yellow hair.

"Who cares look at him he can't possibly pose a threat to us" said the cat like woman moving forward to no doubt knock Naruto out

As she was approaching Naruto lifted his head and she jumped back in shock. His eyes were now golden with vertical slits.

"What's wrong Milliana" said the cubic man before him and his entourage got a good look at Naruto's eye unnerving them slightly

"You thought you could defeat me with such cheap tricks?" said Naruto standing up and officially scaring the group of people in front of him.

There was never a plan to fight the man in front of him… because simply put he could defeat them all with a hand tied behind his back and a boulder on each leg.

Moving his back and neck the sound of Naruto's bones popping was clear and distinct like he was taking his time to finish them off

Pulling out a magic gun however the cubic man shot a blast of magic at Naruto which hit the boy directly in the face causing his head to snap back

Silence seemed to reign over the entire cliff side as the waters calmed down and the winds stopped singing… almost as if they knew the wrath to come

A low growling could be heard coming from Naruto before he looked back at the group of people and just like the wind he vanished before their eyes only to appear in front of the cube faced man with a fist lodged in the man's stomach

"Gahhhh" the man screamed in pain as he was sent through some tree's leaving a section of the nearby forest cleared.

Bringing his eyes over to the rest of the group Naruto sucked in deeply intent on blasting them away

"MOVE IT" shouted the metal jaw man having studied Draigo to the best of his ability from various reports. All he knew about his situation for certain was that whenever Draigo looks ready to blow out a puff of air a huge explosion occurs shortly after.

It was this knowledge however that gave Simon enough time to grab Millianna and Sho before jumping off the cliff to avoid the blast

And not a second after his feet disappeared over the cliff did a torrent of fire wash over the area shooting off the cliff but not burning the grass since it was off the ground.

Smiling to himself Naruto started walking over to the cliff to see if they were still alive… Hey it wasn't his fault that they jumped off the cliff the fireball he sent towards them would have launched them far away into the ocean avoiding any and all rocks.

Looking over the Cliffside he saw the metal jaw man holding his two friends with one hand and holding a ledge on the side of the cliff with his other hand.

Shrugging slightly Naruto made his way to leave. He'd dealt enough damage to these four to have them leave him alone.

Naruto never made it three steps before he dropped to his knee's his once Golden eyes being covered in a mist of darkness

Within Naruto's Mind

Just as the darkness of Naruto's mind seemed to clear and several large figures appeared before him Naruto was sent flying against a wall as a giant fist smashed against him.

Struggling to look up Naruto saw possibly the most horrific site he'd ever come up against. There standing before him where the massive forms of Deliora, Lullaby, with the small form of the shadow of Zeref besides him

He'd captured Deliora shortly after hearing some news of its existence in some ice up north. Apparently someone found it a good idea to move it and he followed the trail to an island, where inside a temple, he found the soul crystal of the demon in a puddle of water. At least someone did him a favor for once and took down the hulking demon for him.

"Hahaha look at you now human" said the Shadow before a fiery fist was thrown into his face sending him across Naruto's mind and into another wall.

'What's up with all these walls?' thought Naruto looking around and noticing that they weren't in his mindscape at all…. His mindscape was in the seal!

Naruto didn't have time to ponder the thought however as a giant wooden foot appeared above him forcing him to move out of the way

Appearing some distance from Demon's Naruto took a second to figure out his situation

'What the hell is going on…. There power is literally at zero how can they even fight against the seal or be conscious for that matter' thought Naruto before he saw dark lines connecting themselves to the demon's

A single characteristic stood out to him. The lines were pure black almost unnatural….Just like the weird rock that he was hit with

'I can worry about that later time to put these guys back to sleep' thought Naruto focusing on the seal intent on using his light magic to rebind the demon's

A second passed and a sense of dread seemed to flow over Naruto. He didn't know how but whatever that dark object was it did a lot more than just make him cough up some blood.

"Hahaha I see the panic in your eyes you pathetic human. Your light magic cannot bind us any longer. Come and meet your end" spoke Deliora charging up a beam to launch at Naruto

Naruto just stared passively at the beast as it charged it's attack. Even when Deliora fired its beam of energy Naruto stayed still

Just as the beam was about to his it bounced away Naruto's hand in the air as if though he smacked the blast away

"Pathetic you think that just because I don't have my light magic I can't defeat you. You're not even at full strength yourself, not nearly close to full strength and besides even if you did manage to get all your strength back" said Naruto disappearing and reappearing on top of Lullaby's shoulder much to the demon's shock

"What's to stop me from ripping you to shreds" finished Naruto his sword appearing in his hand only to be swung down in a vertical arc separating the arm from the body of the demon

"Aghhh" cried out Lullaby dropping to its wooden knees "How do you move so fast you weren't nearly this strong last time"

"You demons never cease to amaze me" said Naruto jumping away from Lullaby who thrashed out at him. All the while he noticed the Shadow conjuring up some puppets so a quick blast of fire his way quickly dealt with any threat.

"It's true I haven't really gotten any stronger since I've faced you. I mean I have done some training but not enough to make a world of a difference….. The fact is that I've remained where I was In terms of strength and speed. You however have lost your magic and thus your strength, speed, and even perception are all impared" said Naruto deflecting a beam of fire and destruction but instead of smacking it away he actually gripped onto it and threw it back at Deliora

"Your overall strength is a possible A-Class mage which is absolutely nothing I can't handle"

In response the demon's only growled at him

"Now then-"

Real World

Naruto moved with a jolt. As a kick sent him flying into a nearby tree.

Looking around quickly he noticed that everyone he had otherwise incapacitated were surrounding him.

Knowing he could finish them off in one move he pulled as much power as he could into his left fist intending on smashing the ground and altering the landscape alittle.

Realizing the danger they were in yet again the Metal Jawed man was quick to move and lunged at Naruto intent on stopping him.

"Too Late!" yelled Naruto brining his fist down only for a surge of purple magic to shoot out of his right hand throwing off his magic and sending him flying over the group of people attacking him and over the cliff into the chilling water below.

Back in the Seal Plane

Luck seemed to not be on Naruto's side as yet another fist sent him flying across the sealing realm.

'Dammit, this can't be happening' thought Naruto his vision splitting the demons visible on one side the sight of sand and water in another

Within Both Planes

The sensation was completely knew and entirely frightening. Never before had Naruto been in control of two bodies

Moving his hand in the Real world he observed that his body in the Sealing Plane became sluggish and weak and vice versa.

For a while it seemed that Naruto had done a great deal….. it only took him five minutes but he was able to swim and crawl up the shore while dealing with the demons in the other plane.

His luck however was soon to end as his body in the real world and before he could secure the safety of his body in the Demon plane and switch over he was slammed to the ground hard making him cough blood as a small crater was left in his wake

"Good job Simon…. It seems the tool we were given is really starting to drain his powers now" said Sho walking up with Milliana a pair of shackles and chains in hand.

Blowing a hole in Lullaby in the demon Plane Naruto switched over to the real world and sent a quick but small torrent of fire at the metal jawed man before him.

The man in question put up a barrier in time to avoid getting severe burns and brought his fist across Naruto's face not a second later.

'Nonononononono' thought Naruto his power weakened dramatically in the Demon plane after he used that last attack….. and he had no idea why. The only thing he knew for sure is that he had a major decision to make right now

Fight the people around him with as much strength as he could muster and risk the escape of the demons. Or give in and allow these people to take him until whatever they've done to him wears off.

There wasn't really a decision to make on Naruto's part. If Deliora and Lullaby got out they could do massive damage really fast and the shadow would wreak even more havoc given enough time. Innocent lives would be lost and that was something he wasn't going to allow.

It was a wound to his pride to watch as his vision completely morphed into that of the Demon Seal Plane.

He could only imagine what would happen when Erza and Natsu came looking for him

It was at the moment where the darkness seemed to over take his real body that he realized what he had to do if he wanted to get out of this situation

"Hurry up and finish binding him Milliana" said Sho as he watched Milliana wrap the last bit of magical chains over Naruto's body and place to cuffs over his wrists…. Funny how she paid little attention to the weird drawings on Naruto's right wrist.

"Alright all-" started Milliana but was cut off as a loud yelling came from Naruto

"ROOOOAAAAARRRRRRR" screamed Naruto his voice taking on a much more feral and much more animalistic appearance at the end.

As he finished yelling Naruto's head sank into the sand the consciousness of his being in the real world being lost… while his consciousness in the Demon Plane was very much awake

"Dammit can we just hurry and take this guy back to Jellal…. He should never have sent us to come after him he's way out of league and he almost killed three of us" complained Millaiana as had long since ran down the beach and hidden behind one of their hidden boats.

"Let's go already" said the metal jawed man throwing Naruto over his shoulder.

Hours Later With Erza and Company

Before her was a sight she truly believed to be gone from this world…. Something that she had seen or thought she had seen eradicated from this world by none other than Naruto himself

Approaching in the distance Erza could make out the figure of some of her Nightmares….. The Tower of Heaven

"Erza" spoke Natsu calmly grabbing onto her shoulder startling her slightly as she turned her head in his direction

"It's going to be ok were going to find Naruto and beat the crap out of anyone who get's in our way" spoke Natsu punching his palm with confidence before he went back to hurling over the side of the boat.

"Hell yeah we are. No one messes with Fairy Tail" spoke gray as he was rowing the boat.

"Hey wait a second why am I the only one rowing this thing?" asked Gray

"Juvia is so sorry Juvia forgot she can push the boat with her water" said Juvia using her magic to propel the boat faster

With Naruto

"Is that all you got you pussy" said Naruto getting a strike across the face from a mage with a mask on. Behind that mage there seemed to be three groups of people one group of people waiting to hit him one group that was content with just watching and a smaller group of people who had broken there hands striking his body repeatedly.

"Damn my grandmother hit's harder than your weak baby slaps" said Naruto yet again getting struck across the face.

'These people must be really trying to mess up my face… idiots that's the easiest place for me to break your hand… haven't they figured it out yet' thought Naruto as he saw another fist coming towards him

Instead of taking it in the cheek where it would do more damage to him he reeled back and slammed his forehead into the incoming hand making a large breaking sound resonate throughout the room they were in.

"Ahhh" yelled the dark mage as he grasped his hand

Naruto feigned losing consciousness and took for the first time in an hour to really take in his situation.

As it was he was standing on some metal feet locks that kept his feet on the floor and he had little movement capabilities in that area. His hands however were handcuffed with these big metal bracers magical runes clearly visible on each side. The bracers were attached to chains that pulled his hands up to the roof.

Taking a slow deep breath he took in the smells all around him….

There was a lot of blood in there air and not just the blood that was coming from his body. There was blood practically ingraved in the stones around him

'So a torture room of some sorts….. what else' thought Naruto continuing to take apart the scents of the room.

He could smell the sweat and salt from the mages around him and he could smell the familiar scent of the ocean

'if I'm in the ocean….. wait how high am I' thought Naruto the entire ordeal of mages and the ocean were not bringing back the most pleasant of memories for him

Focusing on every nerve off his body Naruto could tell the slight difference in pressure….. He was high up….. really high up

'That's… that's not possible' thought Naruto as he heard some footsteps approaching him

Taking some blows to the ribs Naruto bared through the pain unable to really think of anything else when his body was getting struck repeatedly.

"Stop" a vile voice spoke getting Naruto's attention as he opened his eyes to observe this newcomer.

There before him stood a robed figure the robes having brilliant purple and blue patterns. In his right hand was a book and in his left was a scepter.

Immediately as the mages around seemed to recognize the figure they all knelt and chanted in unison

"Creator of the Stone and Keeper of the Library" spoke the mages there tone all in perfect sync

The figure walked forward his face was shrouded in darkness and for a second Naruto really felt like he was being ripped off….. that was his thing.

"So you are the one that destroyed my tower so long ago" spoke the figure getting Naruto's eyes to widen.

"What did you think that you had failed and the tower had managed to stay together…. No! you destroyed my tower and left like the ignorant fool you are" said/yelled the figure in anger

"Leave us this instant" spoke the Figure looking at the mages still kneeling behind him

Almost like robots the Mages ran out of the room in perfect order wasting no movements and no time in following the figures order.

Once the door closed the robed figure walked around Naruto inspecting him like a piece of meat

Coming to a full circle around Naruto the figure placed the tip of his scepter which was a demonic looking scull, at the tip of Naruto's forehead

"Where are you keeping my brothers" spoke the figure hostility evident in his tone.

"What are you-" began Naruto before a purple lightning arced across the tip of the demon head striking Naruto with it's voltage

"Ahhhhhhhh" screamed Naruto not believing the amount of pain he was in from such a small amount of electricity.

"Where are you keeping them" said the figure again more purple lightning coming from the tip of his scepter and touching Naruto leaving no burn marks or signs of physical damage

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" yelled Naruto his body shaking.

A few seconds passed by and once Naruto had proper control of his body he replied to the figure

"I don't….. know….. what you're talking about" said Naruto taking breaths in between pauses.

"I see perhaps if I were to show you my face?" asked the figure before slowing pulling back his hood

Emmediately Naruto understood what was going on.

The figure before him had a narrow face which was completely pale. His lips, hair and eyes were midnight black….The man before him wasn't a man at all but rather a demon the most humanoid of all the demons distinctly recognize able by his long pointed ears similar to elves in ancient stories. This demon he was literally the worst known demon in the book of zeref. But he was documented in every single well stocked library around the world. Funny really since he was dealing with none other than

"Zuroc the fabled demon said to protect the book of Zeref. Legends speak of how you hold the key to infinite knowledge. But here you are holding what I can tell without even looking at it is not the book of Zeref and asking me a question of all things" said Naruto only to spasm in pain as the demon placed his scepter on Naruto's chest the lightning was a blue color this time.

Removing the scepter from Naruto's chest the demon looked at the boy with a feral smile.

"Unlike my brothers I can control myself when someone makes a jab at me… However unlike my brothers you will not like it when I strike" said Zuroc walking over to some empty ground and waving his hand only for a magnificent stone seat to craft itself from the rock.

Taking a seat Zuroc continued to smile at Naruto

"You see when I strike it won't be at you…. No it'll be at those you loved first" said Zuroc who only seemed to smile wider when Naruto gave no outward change in expression

"Please… You're an educated man. Why don't you do some reading up on me after I destroyed this tower I made it my mission to destroy anything Zeref related. Do you think I would bring anyone along with me, that I would so carelessly endanger someone else" started Naruto before he smiled at the Demon

"I have read text older than even you in my travels I know all about you demons and even your father. Have you ever asked yourself why you look more human or humanoid then your brothers why you looked more alive?" asked Naruto his eyes locked on Zuroc's own who didn't falter but his smile did lessen.

"Getting on about how you know me so well I don't really know how but I do know this. You have connections within the Magic Council and you know someone who knows my magic, my name and my face…. After the Tower incident I didn't just let the people who escaped fly out of my mind. I looked high and low for them and eventually I did find them. After three years I found them" spoke Naruto tears coming out of his eyes.

"I found them dead in a ditch all of their throats cut and the blood pooling like a puddle. For so long I've looked for who did that to them. For so long did I imagine ripping your throat out and watching you die just like those people did. When I'm done with you, you'll wish your father had never set foot on this planet"Spoke Naruto in a language that was not meant for mortals to understand his eyes already a burning gold color.

The smile all but disappeared from Zuroc's face as he stood up and approached Naruto.

"I care not for your words. I know who you are Naruto. I know who you love and I'll make her entire body the same color as her hair before I slowly kill her in front of you" spoke Zuroc in demonic only being interrupted as Naruto tried lashing out at him " See like I said…. I know your words were empty….. As for those people you'll be please to know that I had them work on building this knew tower before their bodies gave out on them and I had them killed"

Bringing his scepter up a bolt of lightning shot out and hit Naruto in the head causing him to scream in complete agony

"I should kill you now for what you've done to my tower…. But I don't think I'll ever get you to tell me where my brothers are no matter how much I torture you. So when I sacrifice your soul for my Fathers he should be able to retain most of your memories. I had planned on building him a body of his own but look at you. You took those beatings for hours from some of my strongest guards. Your body will make for an excellent vessel especially with my demonic magic still running through you veins" finished Zuroc

"What are you-"began Naruto before it hit him like a ton of bricks the power shortages, the switching between the real world and the sealing realm on his wrist.

That black rock that the cat girl had thrown at him wasn't a rock It was a lacrima and Demonic lacrima at that. It didn't absorb or take away his power it intertwined them.

The seal on his wrist was designed to seal demons away and it recognized him as a demon. That's why he was in both realms at the same time. The demonic magic being in his system at the same time a demonic seal was written on his body caused some weird side effects. It wasn't permanent that much was for sure. Infact once he defeated and bound the demons within the seal he could feel his magic return to him in a way. Given another couple of hours and he was pretty confident he could undo these magical braces holding him.

The good news seemed to end there as he felt a familiar presence start to approach. Even without magic he could always detect when this guy was close.

The doors opened to reveal another hooded figure whose cloak masked the wearer's face with a void of darkness.

'Really' thought Naruto deciding that he would have to come up with his own new thing….. perhaps a halo and wings….. but he was a dragon not an angel.

"Let's not hide ourselves….. show us that pretty face of yours Jellal" said Naruto in the normal tongue since Jellal literally couldn't know Demonic. Or at least the demon would never give him that sort of power over his kind.

"Very good but how did you know it was me" asked Jellal removing his hood to reveal his face and distinguishable blue hair.

"There were several bodies missing from the grave…. I had found most of the others that weren't in that pit besides Sho, Simon, Milliana, and Wally and finally you. I've met the others as you can see but I had yet to find you. That concludes how I know it was you" said Naruto locking eyes with Jellal who only smiled

"Well yes-" started Jellal before Naruto interrupted him

"Plus your baby blue hair is a total give away" said Naruto " And before you get started. Let me guess your somehow on the magical council and you're the one that Identified me"

"You would be correct in your deductions. Now-" Began Jellal yet again though being slightly irritated at the baby blue comment.

"Man I knew I should have gone to one of the councils damn summonings or maybe grabbed brunch with them. Then I would have know pretty quickly where your intentions laid. But then again I would have to handle those old geezers for far too long. No finding out like this was truly the better way" said Naruto as a tick mark made its way onto Jellal's forehead

"The plan has already been put in motion can we take him to the sacrificial chamber" asked Jellal looking at Zuroc.

"So be it" said Zuroc before a loud explosion resounded throughout the tower

"What was that!" asked the demon looking at Jellal but the only answer he got was from Naruto in the form of a low laugh

"That there that's my brother. He'll destroy this R-system once and for all" said Naruto shocking Zuroc and Jellal slightly.

They don't remember telling him that this tower was an R-system.

There thoughts however were thrown off when another explosion was felt.

"Deal with the intruder. I Must fix any damage he has caused before the Etherion is fired" spoke Zuroc disappearing in a crackle of black lightning

With those words Jellal turned around and began to leave the room.

"I don't know what compelled you to do what you've done Jellal… But I know there's a better person than this inside of you. I'm just going to have to beat the crazy out of you until only he remains" said Naruto his eyes piecing the backside of Jellal who didn't turn around.

"Gaurds… Take this prisoner to the resurrection chamber" said Jellal as he walked forward the doors opening for him and two mages came in to take Naruto.

Naruto didn't struggle against the guards. There was simply no reason too

With Erza and Company

"Everyone split up and make your way to the top of the tower. If anyone finds Naruto then make some noise. Natsu just blow some fire into the sky twice in a row" said Erza as the group had come to a fork in the road.

The infiltration of this tower had gone well extremely well. Now that she was an S-class mage these dark mages were nothing but dirt beneath her boot.

The only thing that perplexed her was how the tower was built exactly the same as when she was still a slave. She'd seen it burn to the ground and as far as she knew there were no real construction plans. So how did they build the tower exactly as it was before.

Her thoughts on the matter were stopped when Natsu began to speak

"Alright I'm all pumped up" said Natsu running down a random corridor.

"I guess I'll go this way then" said Gray walking down another corridor

"Juvia will go down the path closest to Gray-sama's so Juvia can be closer to Gray-sama" said Juvia as she picked the path next to Gray.

"I'll head this way then" said Erza going down another corridor leaving lucy behind

"Is it really such a good idea that we split up" she asked herself in a timid voice before she realized that she was all alone. Frightened she ran down the last corridor thinking that Natsu had ran down it and would have dealt with any bad guys… She was mistaken

With Erza

Running through the tower Erza came upon a room with a bridge going across it. It was very cultural and there was water and vegetation on both sides making for a rather spectacular sight

She however paid it no mind as she continued running through the room. She would not be so easily distracted when Naruto's well being was on the line.

Just as she got halfway through the bridge a figure jumped down and landed between her and the exit.

It was a woman wearing a white dress and flowing pink hair atop her head.

"You'll have to-" began Ikaruga before Erza appeared before her with her sword drawn and posed to strike. It was only with Instinct that she blocked the blade with a half sheathed katana.

"Get out of my way our I'll strike you down" said Erza jumping back and summoning a second magical sword in the even the woman was to deny her offer.

"That was good. Alittle underhanded to strike when I wasn't but good none the less" said Ikaruga as she unsheathed her blade.

Erza growled at the answer she gave and still keeping her eyes on Kagura she closed her right eye only to open it a second later to reveal a golden dragon eye.

It unnerved Ikaruga somewhat to see the slitted eye but it was nowhere close to making her unwilling to fight.

"Let's see what you got shall we?" asked Ikaruga preparing herself for Erza's attack

Taking in a deep breath Erza recalled what Naruto had classified as his most important teaching

Awhile back after the 24 Hour Endurance Race

" Calm but Controlled Fury, that's what's needed on a battlefield. If you have Anger you have nothing. You cannot lower yourself to anger and bitterness you need Fury it's stronger much more directed than anger. But Fury is blinding and without a sense of calmness you can never control it." Said Naruto his Golden eyes piercing into Erza's red and gold eyes.

"Are you following me so far" asked Naruto

"Yes, but what are we doing all the way in the middle of the woods for you to talk to me" asked Erza

"For silence and for you to get use to using your eye in a natural environment before moving onto the brighter lights of the city or the guild hall" said Naruto adjusting his position on the forest floor where Erza and him were sitting.

"Now I want you to take a deep breath and clear you mind"

Doing as she was instructed Erza took a deep breath and sat there thinking of nothing but the wind blowing over her body.

"And that's it. Let's head back" said Naruto standing up and dusting off his backside

"That's it!?" asked Erza standing up with a shocked look on her face " How is that supposed to help me in battle at all"

"That's one of your problems Erza. You over think things, I've told you what you need to do. You need to calm yourself your entire body all the while letting the fury in your heart build only to unleash it upon your enemies. I cannot tell if you are truly calm I cannot tell if you are truly harnessing your fury only you can do these things" said Naruto as he grabbed her hand

"I'll tell you something from experience though. This lesson is the most important thing I have ever learned. Harness it and it won't matter how focused or how skilled your opponent is because they'll never be able to match the speed your Fury gives you. They'll never be able to match the judgment your clear and calm mind makes. Even the greatest of fighters will fall to your fists and your metal" said Naruto before he started to walk back to the guild holding her hand the entire way.

Real Time

'My Fury is for what they've done. They've taken Naruto from me and I will not lose him' thought Erza in rage. No in Fury

Taking another deep breath like Naruto had instructed her so long ago she felt like time itself had stopped as she stared at the enemy in front of her

Just as fast as the feeling occurred it faded as time began to spin again and Erza shot up into the air coming down in an arc with her two magical swords

Seeing the attack coming from a mile away Ikaruga raised her weapon horizontally to parry

Not a second later Erza's brought he blades down on Ikaruga's sword clashing in a show of sparks

Suprisingly instead of holding onto her blades Erza let go letting them fly up into the air and for Ikaruga's blade to raise in the loss of the weight

An instant later Erza summoned two new magical swords in reverse grip Now within range of an off guard Ikaruga

Ikaruga though wasn't going to just sit there and get slashed to pieces so she Jumped back creating distance between herself and Erza. Especially her blades

What she didn't expect was for Erza to release her blades sending them flying like discs in her direction

Again like the Master Swordsman she was she avoided the blades by jumping over them and hitting them down.

In that instant however two things happened. One she lost sight of Erza as she had to focus on the flying blades and two she heard two distinct clasping noises. Exactly the same noise as someone grabbing a pair of leather handled swords.

Ikaruga's eyes widened and she looked up to see the incoming threat but was to late as two blades pierced her shoulders and heavy mass sent her body rocketing back to the ground.

"AAAGGHHHH!" Screamed Ikaruga in pain as blood poured out of her wounds onto the now slightly cracked bridge

"You should have just gotten out of my way" said Erza standing up all the while leaving the blades in her shoulders. She had more important things to worry about. It was with that thought she made her way across the bridge and towards the exit

Just as Erza was about to get off the bridge however Ikaruga called out to her "H-How how did you beat me so easily"

Looking back at the girl Erza replied " Your forced me to show you my Fury. Next time I won't be so merciful and let you live for kidnapping the person I love the most in this world"

With those words Erza walked towards the exit and grabbed the two blades that had lodged themselves onto each end of the door.

With Natsu

"Seriously where's the Action" asked Natsu to happy who was eating a fish on his shoulder

"Ne Natsu what about all those guys you just beat up" asked Happy pointing a finger over his shoulder down the corridor they had just come down.

Lining the floor and even parts of the wall were unconscious mages with either severe concussions or major burns.

"Ah they don't count they were weak. I want to fight something more exciting" said Natsu before he hear a girly scream coming from behind him

looking back he saw Lucy running towards him at incredible speeds for someone not in great shape

"Ahh Natsu help" yelled Lucy as a large mob of Dark mages rounded the corner

"Ohh yeah here we go this is definitely a little more exciting" said Natsu in glee

With Naruto

Things were starting to get weird for him as he looked around the room

He didn't know why or how for that matter of a fact but someone or something had tampered with his braces. These magical bracers were supposed to last till the one who put them on undid the runes or unless the person who was bound was capable of forcing his magic into the runes and undoing them himself. Or if the person or thing was simply far stronger than the runes placed on him.

'But who would tamper with my runes' Naruto asked himself though in the end it wouldn't matter for him.

He could feel that a majority of his power had returned even though with the magical bracers attached he couldn't use any of it.

Whatever demonic energy was inside of him was finally burning out.

"Enjoying the view" asked Zuroc as he appeared into the room

Naruto who was currently suspended over a ball looking lacrima had to roll his eyes at the demon. From what he could determine the Lacrima below him was going to be the center point of the R – System and also the location of the life exchange point that will in essence exchange his life for Zeref's all the while leaving his body for Zeref to inhabit.

"It's nothing special and in the end it won't matter since it's not going to work" said Naruto with a blank expression

"Oh what is it now, are you going to blow up my tower again like you did last time. If so I would very much like to see you try with your magic not working and those magical bracers on your wrists" said Zuroc before he sat down on a seat and began reading the book in his hand

Waving his hand while chanting three clear discs appeared in the air before Zuroc

Not a second later and each disc had a different video playing. One was the Etherion Cannon preparing to fire. The Second was the walls in the tower repairing themselves in certain locations. The final was Erza running up a flight of stairs not too far from their location

"Jellal I do believe a friend of yours is coming to pay us a visit. Be a good boy and greet her at the door" spoke the Demon to what seemed to be nobody until Jellal stepped out from the shadows all the while adorning his cap and hood.

"As you wish" said Jellal walking out of the room

Zuroc feeling slightly pleased with himself looked back towards Naruto to see him sleeping

Giving him an odd look he went back to reading his book. Though he wouldn't admit it finding Naruto asleep of all things unnerved him. To sleep means to be relaxed. That means there were two things going on. One Naruto had come to terms with his death and was completely ready to sacrifice his life for the life of his Father Zeref…. Unlikely

The second was that he was truly confident that he would be leaving this tower alive

'Not while I'm around' thought the Demon immersing himself in his book.

It may be odd but reading was the only way he could contain his excitement. All those years ago he had been in Hibernation allowing his followers to build the tower while he rested for the resurrection of his Father. On the day when his father was supposed to be resurrected all those years ago he awoke to the tower burning and falling upon itself.

He would later find Jellal amongst the ruins talking about how Zeref had shown him the light.

'The fool actually believing that my Father would talk to someone as lowly as him' thought Zuroc knowing the true nature of the so called Zeref that talked to Jellal

Apparently another group of people sought to resurrect his father.

'I think there name is devil's heart…. It matters not what their name is as long as they remain loyal to my father then I will not meddle in their business as they have yet to meddle in mine' thought Zuroc glancing briefly at the Etherion Cannon video

'Only three more minutes until this tower has the power to resurrect my Father. Only three more minutes until the end of this world begins'

With Erza outside the Sacrificial Chamber

"J-Jellal" asked Erza hesitantly as she recognized the face of her old childhood friend

"Hello Erza. Long time no see isn't it"

"This tower, this was all you?" asked Erza

"If you mean the reconstruction of our childhood prison then yes, that was all me"

"Why!?" began Erza in a heartbroken tone "Why would you do something like this. Forcing people to work for you just to build a dark mage tower In the middle of the ocean"

"You wouldn't understand the importance of this tower no one but me can. Plus under my management not a single slave has died on this island. Everyone is treat a hundred times better than they were before"

"What does that matter how they were treated they were still SLAVES"

"Enough! Leave now and I won't have to fight you" said Jellal

"Funny you took the words right out of my mouth" said Erza re-equipping her armor from her base armor to the Heaven's Wheel armor

Just as she was preparing to attack however a bright light started to emit from the windows outside.

"What's going on" she asked her guard never dropping

"The End of This World" said Jellal holding his arms open as the tower itself started to glow brightly forcing them to close their eyes.

Inside the Sacrificial Chambers

Zuroc felt like he was practically in Nirvana when that bright light engulfed the tower

How easy it was to scare the Council into firing off the Etherion. He supposed it had something to do with them Capturing Draigo. No small feat at all for most mages but a simple task for him

Just as the lights were beginning to dim and the blue crystal lacrima was starting to show itself a great force hit the side of his head sending him flying through the door

Back Outside the Sacrificial Chambers

Erza had to tilt her head to the side as a body was sent flying through the bright light and into the wall behind her.

The light finally completely dimming she noticed Jellal between herself and the door and whatever had implanted into the wall was removing itself.

Walking into the room Naruto was reading a small slip of paper.

'So that's how it is Simon' thought Naruto burning the piece of paper with a flick of his wrist.

Seeing Erza he smiled gently at her not noticing the small blush on her face

He hadn't even realized that he was only wearing a pair of boxers

"How is this possible. You were bound with runes I created myself" asked Zuroc

"Maybe your just not as strong as you think" said Naruto before rushing at Jellal with a flaming fist

Dodging the fist Jellal never saw the kick to his stomach that sent him skidding across the room.

"Erza over here" said Naruto and Erza quickly appeared at his side knowing that they had to come up with some type of battle plan

"Can you handle Jellal" asked Naruto glancing over quickly to her

"Yes" spoke Erza with confidence as she gripped her swords tightly

"Then I'll handle the other guy. Whatever you do don't mix into my fight….. he's not exactly human" said Naruto putting one of his hands out to the side so it hovered over thin air.

Not an instant latter did a brilliant blade appear in his hands all of it in a show of fire.

Zuroc gripping his scepter watched along with everyone else as it grew into a long staff the demonic head on top having it's horns grow and lightning to crackle from between the horns.

"It seems our opponents have been chosen for us Jellal. Do not fail me or Zeref himself will deal with your punishment" said Zuroc never once looking in Jellal's direction but the boy nodded his head in acknowledgement

The tension in the room seemed to build and build as everyone readied themselves

You could literally cut the tension in the air with a sponge

"BOOOOOOM" the ground between the two groups exploded upwards as a figure jumped through the newly made hole

"Woot I knew I felt some stronger people up here" said Natsu stretching his body up for a fight

Sensing someone approach from behind Natsu swung at the figure but was met with a long electrical demonic head that was about to strike him

It was not to be however as Naruto appeared slashing at the staff and bringing it to a standstill

"Good to see you Natsu but could you go help Erza with her fight" asked Naruto pushing the demon back

Natsu looking confused quickly realized what Naruto meant when he saw Erza battling with a blue haired kid.

"You got it" said Natsu running off in their

"Now" began Naruto "Let's take this OUTSIDE!"

With that said his sword practically blew up in a torrent of flames as he slashed at the staff sending the demon flying through the wall and into the open air outside

Naruto was quick to follow

Outside

Launching outside with his feet on fire Naruto and Zuroc enganged in a melee fight all the while the began to fall down the now blue crystallized tower

Half way through there descent Naruto was finally able to get a upperhand in the fight and impaled the demons shoulder to the tower

Quickly acting on his part he grabbed onto the side of the tower only thirty feet below Zuroc was was grunting in pain.

"You think this will hold me? Try better you pathetic mortal" said Zuroc doing something Naruto had yet to see in all his fights.

Pulling away from his impaled shoulder Zuroc literally ripped his own arm off

Then like gravity had changed Zuroc stood upon the side of the Tower like it was Natural. With a quick look at his feet however Naruto noticed that they seemed to be melded into the tower.

"What the hell, You do know that now you only have one arm now right" asked Naruto still hanging onto the tower with two hands lodged into the lacrima sides.

"It can be rebuilt" spoke Zuroc and Naruto watched as the lacrima traveled up his legs to his arms and began forming a new arm

'Ohh shit' thought Naruto. While Lacrima regeneration was something Naruto had never seen before. Regeneration was and there were always two rules to regeneration.

One you can't regenerate a part of your brain which is why cutting of the head usually works to kill them and two regeneration takes a massive amount of energy, Something that Zuroc just showed he had access to.

Moving his new hand around Zuroc looked down at Naruto and pointed his staff at the boy

"Begone" spoke Zuroc shooting off several different colored bolts of electricity at one towards Naruto

Naruto wasn't just going to sit there and get hit by lightning however so he had pushed off of the tower just as the lightning made its way towards him.

Launching horizontally from the tower left him exposed to Zuroc's next attack and Zuroc definitely wanted to capitalize on that.

Breaking a piece of lacrima off from the tower the Demon Jumped off the tower so he was directly above Naruto his staff pointed down

Naruto realizing the danger he was in started to take a deep breath.

"To Late" said Zuroc as the energy formed around his staff to quickly for Naruto to match with his own Magic

"PARTICLE BEAM!" shouted the demon a large beam of energy shooting down at Naruto and sending him flying into the ground below at break neck speeds.

Floating down with the help of some demonic energy Zuroc landed at the edge of the giant crater Naruto's body had made

With Naruto

'Dammit he's got a whole mountain of power at easy access for him' thought Naruto bleeding onto the blue lacrima beneath him.

The only reason Zuroc had yet to attack was because of the smoke. A good fighter never fires into the unknown only to leave himself defenseless.

Looking down at the blue lacrima Naruto realized something

'He's not the only one who can access this power'

With that thought Naruto brought a fist down and cracked a large chunk of Lacrima out of the ground

'Please let this work' thought Naruto taking his first bite out of the lacrima

With Zuroc

Just as the dust was about to clear to reveal Naruto a giant pillar of fire encompassing the entire crater shot off almost to the same height of the tower itself.

In the process the fire cleared the dust revealing Naruto or what Zuroc could only assume was Naruto.

"Grrrrrr" growled Naruto his skin covered in golden scales, his hands looking more like claws with their elongate nails and behind him was a long tail littered with golden scales.

"ROARRRRR" screamed the beast sending a powerful shockwave that sent everything in its direction flying which included Zuroc.

As he was flying through the air Zuroc new only one thing, He was about to fight a monster.
