The Beginning of War

I don't own Naruto or Fairy Tail.

Naruto stared at Mavis's grave on Tenroujima then placed his hand on the glowing sphere. He sobbed a little before he stood up and flew off into the sky.

(Two Hours Later)

The atmosphere at the Fairy Tail guild in Magnolia was completely different. It had only been two days since their guild master had died and Precht took over. No one was talking and everyone just went about their business without speaking to each other. The doors opened and Naruto walked over to the bar and grabbed a bottle of vodka. He drank deeply before planting the bottle on the counter and staring it.

"Hey, Naruto." said one of the kids of the guild members, "We all chipped in and got this for ya."

The boy handed Naruto a present and the young dragon opened it to see a picture of him and Mavis on their wedding day. Naruto smiled sadly then ruffled the kid's hair before he went off. Naruto placed his fingers on the glass and ran them over Mavis's face.

"Yo, Naruto!" said Zeira happily, "Come with me on a quest!"

"No thanks." said Naruto as he stared at the picture.

"Come on." whined Zeira, "You need to get your mind off her and have fun. I picked a quest to Akane Resort."

"Mavis always wanted to go there." grumbled Naruto as he took another drink, "I hate not being able to get drunk."

"That's it!" exclaimed Zeira as she grabbed the back of Naruto's collar and dragged him out of the building while he clung onto his vodka and the picture he had been given.

"You think he's going to be okay?" asked Yury as they watched Zeira leave.

"Mavis's death all hit us hard." said Precht, "He's just taking it especially hard since she was his wife."

"Give him time, Yury." said Warrod, "He'll come around."

(An Hour Later)

Naruto and Zeira hopped off of Spyro and landed at the Akane Resort. Spyro shrunk and landed on Zeira's shoulder.

"Go play in the casino until I'm done." ordered Zeira and Naruto silently obeyed.

Naruto silently played some blackjack and soon raked in about 500,000 Jewel. He then went to the craps table and silently played some more and tripled his money. A crowd soon started to gather around Naruto.

"C-Can I get you anything, sir?" asked Zeira's voice before Naruto looked at her.

He blinked and looked at her. She was wearing a bunny outfit and Naruto groaned.

"What now?" asked Zeira in annoyance.

"Mavis once dressed up like that." said Naruto as he rolled the dice and tripled his money again, "Just get me that has alcohol in it from the bar."

Zeira stormed off while Spyro landed on Naruto's shoulder as he gave away his money and started with only a 100 Jewel.

(That Night)

Naruto sat in the surf on the beach as he looked out at the moon.

(Flashback)

Mavis laughed as she kicked up the water in the surf and looked at Naruto with a smile.

"Come on!" goaded Mavis, "It's fun!"

Naruto pulled off his shirt then chased Mavis around while they both laughed.

(End Flashback)

Naruto cried as Zeira came up to him in her regular clothes.

"Let's go." she said.

Naruto stood up and his wings shot out of his back.

"I'll be back." he said before he flew up high into the sky and Zeira and Spyro looked up at him.

Naruto flew through the skies and darted toward some ancient ruins in the distance. He flew through a cave that would've been impossible to walk through and landed gently in the darkness. The entire place lit up to reveal an enormous library and Naruto started going through all the books.

(Four Months Later)

"Do you think he's ever coming back?" asked Yury as he played a game of chess with Precht.

"He always keeps his word." said Zeira as she put her feet up on the bar and sipped her drink while Warrod did a crossword, "Besides, she's still here in a way."

Naruto ran his hands through his hair as he had a crazy look in his extremely tired and bloodshot eyes. He threw the last book in the library to the ground and let out a roar that sounded like a dragon. He sobbed and punched the table, snapping it in half. He then flew out of the library and after flying about for half an hour, he saw a small castle in the middle of a desert and landed. He opened the front doors and passed under the archway that had the Tartarus guild symbol above it.

(Three Months Later)

Kyouka looked at the chained up and naked Naruto, who hadn't said a word to any of them since he'd arrived months ago. He had only spoken two words. Kill me. After that, she had been ordered to use her Curse to kill Naruto but still had not completed her mission as he was still alive.

"Just how hard are you going to be to kill?" asked Kyouka as she increased Naruto's pain then stabbed him in the arm with a knife.

Naruto screamed in pain and cried. He panted and looked up at Kyouka.

"More." said Naruto.

Kyouka raised an eyebrow as she increased Naruto's sense of pain for the one hundredth time and stabbed him in the chest. He coughed up blood then passed out. Kyouka removed the knife and watched as the wound healed instantly. She gritted her teeth and stormed out of the room. As she headed down the hall, she passed a corner where Mard was standing against the wall.

"Still not dead?" asked Mard.

"Every time I give him a killing blow, he heals instantly." reported Kyouka, "Do you think he could be like Zeref?"

"I doubt it." said Mard, "Something is up with him but he's not telling us."

"And I never will." said Naruto as he appeared behind Mard and they both looked at him in shock at how he was there.

"How did you get free?" asked Kyouka as she backed up while Naruto walked toward her.

"You really should clean up the blood you spill or someone could slip out." said Naruto as he pinned Kyouka against the wall by her face and she stared through his fingers at the cold and dead eyes, "You've grown stronger since I was last here, Kyouka."

He removed his hand and Kyouka fell to the ground, trying to get her nerves back.

"And you seem to be doing well for yourself, Mard." said Naruto calmly.

"I'm sorry that we couldn't fulfil your request." said Mard as he bowed to Naruto.

"I knew you would fail anyway." said Naruto as he looked away, "There are only two ways that I can die and they're so complicated that even I have a hard time explaining them."

"I heard you got married." said Mard.

Mard instantly regretted that statement as Naruto's hand turned into a claw and he tore a hole through Mard's chest.

"She died seven months ago." said Naruto coldly as he removed his hand and Mard's corpse fell to the ground, "I'll take this worthless piece of trash to Lamy."

Kyouka tried to relax as Naruto disappeared down the dark hall but couldn't keep the feeling of fear from coursing through her body.

(Two Minutes Later)

A Lamy skipped about a room full of tanks when Mard was tossed in front of her.

"Bring him back." stated the now clothed Naruto as he turned away and walked off.

Lamy grabbed Mard's wrist and went about bringing him back to life.

Naruto went into Sayla's chambers and found her lying on her bed.

"Been a long time, Sayla." said Naruto.

"It has been." said Sayla as she sat up and looked at Naruto.

"How have things been since I left?" asked the young dragon.

"We're no closer to killing Zeref." reported Sayla.

Naruto lowered his head and closed his eyes.

"We will some day." said Naruto, "But we will be filling our spare time very soon."

He left and Sayla fell back down onto her bed.

"Welcome back, Master." she muttered before she fell asleep.

Naruto strolled down a hall when he tilted his head to the side and dodged a ball of energy that exploded when it made contact with the wall.

"You're going to have to do better than that, Jackal." said Naruto as he turned around to face the boy that was about his age.

"Heh, you look like shit!" said Jackal.

"You don't look any better." said Naruto as he stared calmly at Jackal.

"What have you been doing since we last saw you?" asked Jackal as he calmed down a little.

"Let's see." said Naruto as he looked up at the ceiling, "I wandered the planet. Got married. Became a widower after just several weeks. Then for the past three months I've been having Kyouka torture me."

"You're not that hyperactive brat we all used to know." said a man wearing a cloak behind Naruto.

"Hello, Tempesta." said Naruto as he lowered his head.

"I'm sorry for you loss." said Tempesta.

"Thank you." said Naruto, "Now, is the library still where I remember it?"

"Of course." said Tempesta.

"Thank you." said Naruto as he headed toward the library.

"Why would he go to that library?" asked Jackal of his fellow demon, "Couldn't he just use the ones that the Dragons have?"

"It doesn't have knowledge of everything." said Tempesta, "If he's looking in our archives, then it must have to have been something only Zeref knew."

Naruto entered the library and went to a particular section before he got to reading.

(Five Months Later)

Yury, Precht, Warrod, and Zeira were returning from a mission, at night, they did together when a scent reached their noses.

"Does anyone else smell that?" asked Zeira, "It smells like something's burning."

The looked over a hill that had Magnolia on the other side and all their faces turned to ones of horror as they ran up the hill. Their fears were realized when they saw that all of Magnolia was ablaze.

"No way." said Yury in disbelief before they all ran into the city.

They ran through the burning buildings and rubble as they tried to return to the guild when they caught sight of a being in armor standing in the middle of a field of burning corpses. The being raised its head to look at them before it turned away and shifted into the form of someone who they hadn't seen in a long time.

"Naruto, what's going on?!" shouted Precht.

They got no response as Naruto walked through the flames and vanished.

"Did Naruto do all of this?" asked Warrod as they continued on to the guild to find it was completely okay but the doors were wide open.

When they went inside, Zeira emptied her stomach on Yury's shoes at the sight of all the mangled corpses and the smell of decomposing bodies hit ehr head on. They then noticed a hole in the ground they all looked at each other.

"What could he want down there?" asked Yury.

"He couldn't be..." said Precht as they all rushed down the hole and Zeira had Spyro grow to help slow their descent and they landed in front of a large set of double doors that were open.

Inside, Naruto stood in front of a large crystal that housed the body of someone they all knew. Zeira's anger burned as her hands were covered in flames and she ran at Naruto.

"Naruto, how dare you kill all of our friends!" shouted Zeira as she tried to punch him.

Naruto grabbed her wrist then punched her in the gut. For an instant, Zeira remained their as she hacked up blood before she shot like a bullet back past the others and past the doors.

"Naruto, what are you doing?!" shouted Warrod, "Why did you attack Magnolia?!"

"It's not just Magnolia." said Naruto as he turned back to Mavis's body, "This entire world is corrupt."

"What do you mean?" asked Yury.

"This... world of magic." explained Naruto, "Magic is supposed to bring hope and yet it is only used to kill."

He placed a hand on the crystal and cried.

"Let me take you, Priestess." said Naruto with a smile at the crystal, "Let me take you away from these monsters."

The crystal glowed brightly then it vanished almost instantly to reveal that it had vanished.

"You shouldn't have died." said Naruto as he looked up, "You should have been able to stay here and save this world."

He then slowly turned around and shifted into his armored form and two energy swords appeared in his hands.

"Now, I shall fulfill your final wish." he muttered, "I shall make a world where magic isn't used to kill."

(End Flashback)

Naruto calmly sat on his throne as his old friends from Fairy Tail took their time in planning how to attack him. He finally had enough waiting and gripped the handle of Frostmourne.

"Stay back, Kaguya." said Naruto as he stood up.

"You're going to fight us yourself?" asked Yury.

"It's the least I can do." said Naruto as he looked at them, "I hate seeing those I'm close to die but it must happen if Mavis's final wish is to come true. I have no regrets about this."

The four mages go ready as Naruto raised his sword.

"I'm not gonna hold back this time." he told them.

"We're not either." said Precht.

"You're going to pay for killing Spyro!" shouted Zeira in a rage.

"We're sorry, Naruto." apologized Warrod.

They all ran at each other and Naruto lowered his head a little.

In the next chapter, we get to find out what happened to Wendy. Stay tuned for that.
