Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Naruto Or Fairy Tail

A/N: This chapter has been revised as of 5/28/2017

Naruto opened his eyes and sat up, clutching his spinning head. "Well that was... Fun..."

The last thing he remembered was Mystogan briefly explaining what had happened and a lot of other confusing things, before the man had said he was going to send the three of them to Edolas. 'I hope Mystogan's okay… He looked exhausted.' He thought before he noticed he was alone.

"Lucy! Juvia! Can you hear me?" Naruto called out but got no response. He jumped onto a nearby tree and climbed to the top to get a better view of the area in hopes that it would help him find them.

"Woah..."

He was in a forest, that much was for sure. But what really caught his attention were the floating islands scattered across the horizon. 'I really am in another dimension…'

The view was breathtaking, but now wasn't the time to admire the landscape. He had a guild to save.

First, he had to find Lucy and Juvia. Then together, they could find out how to get everyone back.

Jumping down from the tree, Naruto closed his eyes and began to draw in the nearby magic and natural energy, only to find that he couldn't.

"Huh?" Naruto tried again, but it didn't work. In fact, he couldn't feel any magic in the air at all! "What the heck is wrong with this place!? There's no magic here!?"

There was a little magic, but it was so thin it would probably take hours to enter his magic enhanced sage mode.

'Well that just made things a lot harder….' He couldn't go into sage mode because there was not enough magic around, so that meant he'd have to find Lucy and Juvia the traditional way.

Naruto sighed and started walking.

He could always try going into the normal sage mode, but he didn't want to risk turning into a statue since he was so used to blending four energies instead of the usual three. He'd have to practice refresh his memory later though, he couldn't waste any time.

Naruto wondered what Kakashi and the others are doing. Since they didn't have any magic in them, they were all probably stranded in the middle where Magnolia used to be. Mystogan hadn't given him any time to look for them, saying there was no time because the Anima was closing.

After a couple minutes of walking, Naruto sensed a sudden surge of magic in the distance. With there being no Ethernano in the air, any bit of magic stuck out like a sore thumb to his senses, even when he wasn't in sage mode.

The magic was a bit of a distance away though, so he would have to hurry if he wanted to catch what it was.

'Since there's no magic here, maybe it's the others...' Naruto thought as he ran towards the place where he hoped to find his friends.

"This is... Fairy Tail!?" Naruto gawked as he looked up at the tree-like structure in the middle of a desert.

The words "Fairy Tail" were written just above the doors as well as the guild's mark. But why did the place look so different?

Deciding he wasn't going to get any answers just standing there, Naruto walked to the doors and pushed them open. When he poked his head through the opening, he found the guild members he knew all too well scattered throughout the place.

But something felt different.

Naruto saw Gray standing next to Juvia, but there was something off about the two. Gray was wearing layers upon layers of clothing, so much that he kind of looked like a snowball.

Juvia looked about the same, down to the large curls at the tips of her hair. But rather than her large blue coat that she normally wore, she was wearing a white sailor-like top that was tied just below her chest. She also wore a blue short-skirt and tights as well as high-heels. Instead of her usual large hat, she was wearing a mini top-hat that was slightly slanted.

"That sure was weird, right Juvia-Chan!?" Gray said as he looked at Juvia with hearts in his eyes.

"Stay away from me. You're making me hot just looking at you in all those clothes." Juvia said in a rude manner as she walked away.

"I'm sorry Juvia-Chan! I just get cold easily!"

"..."

Naruto was at a loss of words from how out of character the two seemed to him. He looked around the guild and found very similar cases with the other members.

He saw Jet and Droy picking on a crying Elfman who seemed to have failed a job, as well as Alzack and Bisca were acting all lovey dovey with one another.

The ninja just stood there at a loss of words until he heard a very lady-like voice.

"I hope those four will be alright... This is the king's army we're talking about."

'That's... Cana!?' Naruto thought and put a hand to his mouth to stop himself from laughing. But seeing Cana, the same girl that drank booze from a barrel, the girl that would belch out loud in a very unladylike manner, was dressed up like a doll! It was just too much him.

Naruto burst out laughing and fell inside, catching the attention of the entire guild.

"What the-Another intrusion?"

"Why is he laughing so hard?"

As they all crowded around Naruto menacingly, the blonde held his sides as he laughed.

"Aahaha! Oh man! That's just too much!" Though his laughter was cut short when Jet and Droy grabbed a hold of his collar.

"Hey punk, stop laughing like an idiot and tell us what you're here for!"

"Yeah, unless you want us to kick your ass? Ahn!?"

Okay, this was a little weird. Did they not recognize him? And when did Jet and Droy become so hot-headed?

Naruto put his hands up innocently. "What are you guys talking about?"

"Are you a spy sent by the kingdom?" Jet asked and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Naruto had to think of something quick or else a fight was going breakout. It was obvious everyone wasn't acting like themselves. Maybe they were all under the effects of an illusion?

"Hold on a second guys... Spiky blond hair, blue eyes, and a red coat. I think this might be the guy little me was talking about earlier." A woman with long blue hair said as she pushed her way through the crowd.

Naruto's eyes bulged out of his skull when he got a full look at the girl-no… The woman! 'Wendy-Chan!?'

'Wendy' raised an eyebrow at the way Naruto was looking at her before she giggled. "Seems I was right on the money."

"So that's what's going on..." Naruto groaned. This was just his luck. A power-hungry king, mad with power, used a magical machine that was called Anima to steal magic from Earthland because the stuff was apparently limited here. Coincidently, the town that they targeted happened to be Magnolia.

"That's just about it." Edo-Wendy said and leaned back in her chair. She had taken the liberty to explaining everything to Naruto alongside Edo-Juvia, since she had apparently promised the Wendy Naruto knew that she would should he ever show up there. Edo-Juvia was there because it was an excuse to get away from Gray.

Naruto looked at the woman sitting in front of him. Was this really the Wendy of this world? She looked just like the Wendy he knew, only older and had large… Naruto shook that thought out of his head. "Wait, how did Wendy-Chan know I was going to come here?"

The blue haired woman shrugged. "Beats me. Though I think I remember her saying that it was her cat that said you were going to show up."

Was she talking about Carla? How did she know he was coming here? Oh well, he could ask them as soon as he caught up with them. "So then why didn't they stay?"

If they knew he was going to come here, why didn't they wait for him so they could travel togther?

"Natsu said that you would just catch up to them anyways, so they left." Wendy simply said with a shrug.

Naruto sighed. Classic Natsu, always in a hurry. Though he couldn't blame the guy, he probably would have done the same. This was the fate of their friends they were talking about here.

"Juvia still can't believe the Juvia from Earthland follows this guy around like some... Fangirl." Edo-Juvia said from her seat next to Wendy. She had heard a little about how her Earthland counterpart being obsessed the boy in front of her, and it was unsettling to say the least. "Though it's better than being Gray..." She said with a twitching eyebrow as Edo-Gray held up a sign that said: "I love Juvia-Chan!".

"That's a little cold, don't you think?" Naruto said and sweatdropped. He turned around to see Edo-Gray glaring at him. He could only assume as to why.

"Gray is always trying to go on missions with Juvia and follows Juvia everywhere! It's annoying..."

Naruto frowned. Why did that sound so familiar to him?

"So, what do you plan on doing now?" Edo-Wendy asked.

"First, I'm gonna to find my friends. Then I'm going to go to this king of Edolas and tell him to turn the town back to normal." Naruto declared and the two girls started laughing at him. "W-what's so funny?"

"You know, your friends said the same exact thing." Edo-Wendy said and shook her head. "You guys just don't know how terrifyingly powerful the king's army really is. There's no way you can stand up to them."

"If it comes to it, I'll fight the king's army. I'm going to save my friends no matter what." Naruto said seriously, because he knew that they would do the same for him. It was just in the nature of Fairy Tail.

Edo-Juvia sighed. "It seems the mages of Earthland's Fairy Tail all think the same way."

"I guess so." The other blue haired girl agreed.

Naruto laughed and rubbed the back of his head, knowing full well that it was true. 'Well, I guess it's time I head out. But before that...' He looked across the room and towards this world's Mirajane, who seemed to be just as cheerful as the Mirajane he knew.

Though he wasn't looking at the barmaid, but the girl next to her. Lisanna Strauss, Mirajane's supposed deceased younger sister.

At first he had assumed that the Lisanna of this world hadn't died, but there was something about the girl that was bothering him. Excluding the magical weapons everyone in the guild carried, he couldn't sense any magic coming from the bodies of the people here. All except Lisanna.

Lisanna was talking with her sister when she turned and walked down one of the halls with a bag in her hands.

Now was his chance.

"Hey, is there a restroom here?" Naruto asked and the older looking Wendy nodded.

"It's just down that hallway." She said and pointed to the same hallway Lisanna had just walked into.

'Lucky!' Naruto thought and thanked the girl before heading in that direction. He needed to hurry and find his friends, but this was something he just had to confirm for Mirajane's sake.

Lisanna sighed as she tossed the garbage she was holding outside. What a day it had been for her.

First Natsu and Happy seemingly show up out of nowhere, and not the Natsu that was from this world, but the Natsu she had been so close with back in Earthland. She had been so shocked that she couldn't even tell them it was really her.

Then that Naruto fellow showed up and it worried her. The Wendy from Earthland and the white cat that were with Natsu and Happy had talked about him, that he was good at sensing magic and was probably going to show up here. It worried Lisanna because she wasn't sure if she was ready to be found out yet. Though to her relief, it seemed that he hadn't caught onto her.

"Yo." Someone suddenly said from behind Lisanna, causing the girl to jump in surprise.

Whirling around, Lisanna saw that it was none other than Naruto. He was staring at her with a calculating look on his face.

"W-what?"

After a few seconds, the boy bobbed a fist on his hand. "You really are Lisanna!"

Crap, he found out.

Lisanna kept silent, not sure what to say. What was she supposed to say? Back in Earthland, everyone she knew thought she was dead, including her own siblings.

Naruto crossed his arms. "I'm guessing you haven't told anyone here since Natsu and the others were just here not too long ago."

Lisanna shook her head somberly.

"I'm sure you have your reasons, so I'm not gonna pry. Just know that from what I've heard, everyone back in Earthland misses you." Naruto said and turned around to leave. "I'm gonna go save my friends now, it was nice meeting you though Lisanna."

The youngest Strauss sibling watched as Naruto walked back into the guild before seeping to her knees. 'What should I do...?'

After thanking everyone for helping him, Naruto was about to leave the guild when the Edolas versions of Jet and Droy stepped between him and the doors. "Uh, can I help you guys?"

"Yeah, actually, you can. We heard from your friends that you're one of the strongest in Earthland's Fairy Tail." Jet said with a smirk.

"Well we're the strongest here." Droy said with a challenging voice.

"Listen guys, I'm in a bit of a hurry..." Naruto said and tried to sneak past the two, knowing full-well what they were implying. But he just didn't have the time to spare right now.

But Jet and Droy just blocked his path once more.

"Come on, just a quick fight."

"Or are the mages from Earthland just a bunch of chickens?"

Falling for their bait, a tick mark formed on Naruto's forehead. "Alright, fine! I'll take you both on at the same time!" He'd just beat them up real quick so he could get moving.

The two strongest members of Edo-Fairy Tail smirked victoriously as the rest of the members gasped.

"Alright, let's do this!"

Naruto stood in the middle of the middle a clearing in a desert, just a few meters from the guild.

Jet and Droy stood next to each other across from the jinchuuriki in front of a crowd that was the other guild members.

"You ready?"

Naruto sighed. He couldn't believe he was going to have a sparring match right now, and with Jet and Droy of all people. Not that he was calling them weak, but they were notorious in the guild for holding Levy back in their jobs.

Speaking of Levy, her Edolas equivalent was also watching their fight, cheering for her teammates. "Kick his ass boys! Show him who Fairy Tail's strongest team is!"

Naruto sweatdropped when he heard the normally cheerful girl use such foul language, but he waved to his opponents to get their attention. "Ready when you are!"

With an excited smile, Jet took off in a burst of speed while Droy gripped his club with both of his hands.

'So this Jet is also fast, huh?' Naruto thought as Jet closed the distance between them in no time at all, and ducked under a kick directed at his face.

Jet used the momentum if his kick to spin around and launch a punch at the blond, but Naruto just grabbed the incoming fist and pulled. Jet was taken by surprise as he was knocked off balance and fell to the ground, rolling in the sand a few times before coming to a stop.

Naruto almost failed to notice a bunch of golden trees sprouting all around him.

"You let your guard down!" Droy yelled and his club glowed as he commanded the magic trees to attack.

The ninja yelped as the branches started moving and tried to grab him. Naruto rolled out of the way of a branch, jumped over another, and slipped between some others as he dodged them.

Droy growled in frustration as his attacks kept missing. "Stop... moving!"

Naruto, deciding he had enough of these things, pulled out a kunai. Channeling wind chakra into it, he cut through all the branches around him, causing the trees to disappear.

"What!?" Droy panicked as he watched his magical tree get sliced apart.

Jet pulled himself up and spat on the ground. "This guy's tough... Droy! Let's finish this!" He called out and his partner nodded before they both started running towards Naruto at full speed.

Due to his magic shoes, Jet was the first to make it to Naruto first. He slid up to the teen and started another barrage of punches and kicks to buy time for Droy to set up the next part of their plan.

Droy's club started glowing again before he swung it downward as hard as he could. A massive stream of purple light shot forth towards the other two and Jet used his speed to quickly move out of the way.

Naruto was easily able to avoid the light as well, but what he didn't expect was for a giant tree that was roughly the same size as the tree-guild to sprout out of the ground.

If it weren't for him being able to stick to things, he probably would have been knocked into the air and left open for the tree to grab him. Because as soon as the tree stopped growing, it's long branches started moving towards him and once again to grab him.

'Stupid tree!' Naruto thought as he ran around the tree to avoid getting grabbed. He was starting to get annoyed by all the things trying to strangle him now. Maybe it was time he got serious.

Back down with the other guild members, Edo-Wendy watched as the shinobi climbed the tree.

"It's pretty impressive that he can climb things like that, but it looks like Jet and Droy have the advantage in numbers here."

Edo-Juvia nodded, a bored expression on her face. "Juvia is a bit disappointed, the mages of Earthland must be all talk. Though it's to be expected, Jet and Droy are candidates to being the strongest here."

The other members nodded in agreement to both statements, but their attention was drawn back to the massive tree when a number of "poofs!" went off and the top of the tree was covered in smoke.

They were then surprised to see over fifty copies of Naruto raining down from the tree like hail towards the equally surprised Jet and Droy.

"He can clone himself!?"

"Is this the magic of Earthland!?"

The Narutos laughed when they heard their surprise as they closed in on the shocked mages. "Dog pile!"

In a series of bursts of smoke, the shadow clones landed on Jet and Droy, smacking the two into the ground and further with each body slam.

The giant golden tree disappeared, indicating its creator's defeat.

Naruto landed onto the ground next to Jet and Droy. "How was that? Earthland magic isn't so bad, is it?" He said, lying about using magic instead of chakra. It wouldn't help to say that he was actually from a yet another dimension, would it?

They both barely managed to give him a thumbs up.

"He just beat Jet and Droy by himself..."

"Are all mages from Earthland this strong?"

'Is this why Lucy went after other guys?' Edo-Wendy thought as Naruto waved to them and started leaving. Lucy had left the guild claiming that she was going to go on a job a little after the other mages from Earthland had left, but Wendy thought otherwise.

Edo-Juvia was quite shocked herself. 'Is this why the other Juvia follows him? No… There has to be something else.'

"So… why did you guys decide to come along?" Naruto asked as he walked across the desert. Just as he had been leaving on his trip to find the royal capital, Edo-Wendy and Juvia had both followed him.

"Do you even know where the capital is? It's pretty far and we thought you might need help getting there." Edo-Wendy said with a lazy tone. While it was true that she thought Naruto needed an escort to the royal city, there was actually another reason she chose to go. During her little conversation with her other self earlier that day, the little girl had spoken rather highly of the blonde and it made her curious to see what was so fascinating about this 'Naruto'. Despite her other's best effort, Edo-Wendy could tell she had a schoolgirl crush on the older blonde. From her point of view, Naruto looked kinda attractive and was powerful, but she was wanted to know more about him.

"It'll be a couple days of walking, better be prepared." Edo-Juvia said as she glanced over at Naruto. She had a very similar reason as to why she decided to go with them. Having been told by the other world's Natsu that her Earthland counterpart was madly in love with the ninja, she wanted to know why. Because if she was being honest with herself, he wasn't all that good looking. The whisker marks were kind of cute, but the guy just wore too much clothing!

Naruto laughed when he realized that he indeed had no idea where he was going. "I guess you're right... Thanks."

They walked in a comfortable silence for a while.

Naruto was wondering where his friends from Konoha were and if they were here as well when it hit him. "Hey! That's it!"

The two girls looked at the ninja curiously when he suddenly bit his thumb and started making strange hand signs.

"Kuchiose no Jutsu!" Naruto yelled before placing his hand onto the ground and a small plume of smoke followed suit, slightly shocking them.

"A... Frog?"

"Not a frog, a toad." Naruto corrected before turning back to his summon. "Hey, can you guys reverse summon Kakashi-Sensei and the others to me? Long story short, I'm in another dimension and I could use all the help I can get."

The small toad looked up at his summoner and sighed. "You get into the weirdest situations, you know that Naruto? But sorry, I can't do it."

"What!? Why not!?"

"Because, those temporary contracts were exactly what they are. Temporary. They wear off over time and we would have to make another contract if you wanted to summon them."

Naruto groaned and hung his head loosely. Of course he couldn't summon them! "Oh well, sorry to bother you..." He said and the toad nodded before going back.

"What was that all about?" Wendy asked, confused as to what she had just witnessed. It wasn't every day you saw a man conversing with a toad.

"That was my summoning juts-er... Magic." Naruto said and they continued to walk again. "I signed a contract with the toads and I can summon them. Like you heard, my friends had signed a temporary contract with them so I thought I'd be able to summon them here. But I guess not."

Creating an army of clones, summoning talking animals. The magic of Earthland sure was different from their own.

A thought suddenly occurred to Edo-Juvia. "Who were those friends of yours that you wanted to summon then? Weren't the mages of your guild sucked up by Anima?"

Naruto hesitated in his answer. How did he know his friends weren't sucked up in the Anima? He had been saved by Lucy's clock spirit, but who knows what would have happened if that wasn't the case. "I guess it was just wishful thinking..." Naruto said and frowned, a little down at the depressing thought.

Edo-Juvia growled in frustration. "Ugh! All your moping is making Juvia depressed! What are you, some kind wimp!? You said it yourself, all you have to do is beat the king's army right? Or was that a lie?"

Naruto flinched back in surprise. He was not expecting those words to come out of Juvia's mouth. But then again, this wasn't the Juvia he knew. He then realized she was calling him a liar, which he was not. "I wasn't lying! I'm gonna kick that king's ass for turning my friends into lacrima!"

Wendy tapped Juvia's shoulder and whispered to her. "Are you sure it's okay to rile him up like that? This is the royal army we're talking about here..." Naruto seemed like the kind of guy that would do stupid things and Wendy guessed if given the chance, the hyperactive teen would actually fight the royal army. Which to any person from Edolas knew all too well was suicidal.

Juvia shrugged. "There's probably more to this guy than meets the eye, and Juvia wants to see it."

Louen...

A cloaked man walked through the town of Louen. He seemed to be looking for something.

"Well, looks like I'm stuck in this place now. Better get started." The man muttered under his breath and set out to find some answers. But before he had the chance to ask the people of the town his questions, he sensed a presence behind him. It was a presence he had come to hate, loath even. But he could not outrun this presence no matter how far he ran.

"Gajeel! Why the hell do you keep disappearing like that!?"

Gajeel groaned and took off his hood before turning around just in time to see Tenten jump down from the rooftops. "Because I don't wanna have anything to do with you! So, go somewhere else!"

Tenten growled in frustration. This again? The whole time they'd been in this apparent parallel dimension, Gajeel had been trying to get rid of her. He was always ranting about how much he hated ninjas and that the only one he acknowledged was Naruto. Just what did Naruto do to make this guy hate ninjas so much?

"What's your problem? If we're gonna get out of here, we're going have to work together! Why do you have to be so difficult!?"

'Tch! Annoying woman... Whatever, I'll just put up with her until we find a way to turn everyone back.' Gajeel thought and turned around towards the streets of the town. "I was going to get some information until you interrupted me. Don't slow me down."

Tenten nodded and followed the dragon slayer. 'Finally... Man this guy really pisses me off! But I have no idea where everyone else is so I'm just gonna have to put up with him for now.'

Gajeel and Tenten were in the middle of Magnolia when the Anima hit. With Gajeel being a dragon slayer and Tenten having no magic in her, the two had been unaffected. After a couple minutes of wondering just what the hell had happened, a blue haired man named Mystogan had showed up and briefly explained what was going on before sending them here.

'I hope everyone else was okay...' Tenten thought as Gajeel asked the townspeople some questions, only every time he walked near someone they would just walk away without saying a word.

"Well this place sure is full of friendly people, ain't it?" Gajeel grumbled before he noticed something in the corner of his eye.

'I wonder if Erza-San was turned into lacrima as well.' Tenten thought with a frown. She didn't see her red headed friend after the Anima hit, so she assumed Erza had been sucked up as well.

"Wait, where's Gajeel?" Looking around for her temporary partner, she found Gajeel walking towards a couple of shady looking people. 'Oh great, he's picking a fight with gangsters...'

This was going to be a long trip, wasn't it?

Elsewhere In Louen...

"Naruto? Juvia?"

Lucy had woken up in an alleyway by herself and had been wandering around the town looking for her friends since. "What the heck is going on here?" She couldn't believe that the whole town, including Fairy Tail, was sucked up by the Anima and turned into a giant lacrima crystal.

'I wonder where Naruto and Juvia are now. We were just with each other...' Lucy thought while taking a seat on a bench. She sat there for a while, wondering of the whereabouts of her friends as she watched people pass by. Why was she alone? They must have been transported to different places when Mystogan sent them here. It was the only reason she could think of.

Naruto was most likely fine, this was Naruto she was talking about. But Juvia... the poor girl was probably a wreck trying to find the shinobi.

"Surround the human!"

"Who does she think she is, invading Extalia like it' no one's business!?"

"Eh?" Juvia stood there dumbly as dozens of cats surrounded her, all armed with spears.

She had woken up in the middle of a town full of cats that looked like Happy and Carla and was completely lost. But when she had asked one of the cats where she was, they had called for guards and here she was.

"By the authority of the Queen Shagotte, you are under arrest for trespassing, human!" One of the cats said to her with a disgusted voice.

"Eh!?"

A/N: I decided that Naruto would be able to use his chakra in Edolas because, like a lot of you said in your reviews, makes sense. I apologize to those that wanted the opposite, but this gives me an excuse to have Naruto kick some major ass! XD

Okay, about the pairing... Like I said in the past, and how the story is turning out right now, it's going to be a slow building harem. But I would like to clarify something. This does not mean that the story will end with Naruto getting a bunch of girls. For now, Naruto is ONLY being targeted by multiple women. I just think harem stories are hilarious because of the rivalry between the girls. I hope that clarifies what kind of harem I was talking about. :)

As always, review or P.M. me if you have any questions/comments/concerns!

Okay, I'm done. I hope to see you all in the next chapter of The Fox Scroll!

P.S.

Over 300 reviews! :D
