Here we go for the finale of the Tower of Heaven Arc! I hope you all Enjoy it!
Disclaimer: Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima. Anything written is purely my own thoughts.
"Truth is Erza. I have no idea where we are. If I raijin away in a random direction I have no idea where I could finish. I don't even have the time to ask the Nine Tails for help. I'm sorry."
A smile appeared in Erza's face. "That's ok. Even at the end it doesn't matter. I'm glad I got to meet you Naruto Dreyar... I lo" Erza continued what she was saying but Naruto was unable to hear as the blast from the satellite square Etherion crashed into the Tower of Heaven.
Part 2: Chapter 7: Tower of Heaven Part 4
Naruto and Erza braced for their destruction but when they opened their eyes they seen they were still alive.
"How are we still alive?" Naruto didn't know what to think.
"You heard what I said didn't you?"
"I'm sorry Erza the blast blocked me from hearing what you said."
"Never mind then." Erza shrugged off Naruto out of embarrassment.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Naruto and Erza turned to find Jellal laughing like a mad man. He was still pinned to the ground from Erza's spear. "I'VE DONE IT! THE R-SYSTEM IS FINALLY COMPLETE! witness the tower's true form. A giant lacrima! You were right Erza the problem with the R-System was the lack of magic."
"That's why we used the Etherion to help us." A new voice came from behind Naruto and Erza they turned to see who it was.
"Siegrain!" Naruto and Erza couldn't believe their eyes.
"Both Jellal and I couldn't power this tower so we decided to use the Etherion thanks to the fools in the magic council to help us reach this goal." Siegrain lifted the spear off the ground freeing Jellal. Jellal climbed back up to his feet. "We have over two billion, seven hundred million units of power."
"Now that we have the power to use the R-System It time for Naruto to meet his fate."
"Wait I don't understand! Why would you use the Magic council like that Siegrain? You hated Jellal! And why Naruo?" Erza asked both mages.
"Hate me? How can I hate myself." Jellal and Siegrain then merged into one being. "Now my magic power has returned!.. When you first meet me in the magic council Naruto had to hold you back from attacking me. HAHAHA how does it feel to know you were so close to killing me back then." Jellal rushed behind Erza who was too slow to react and cut the backs of her legs. Erza fell to his hands and knees yelling in pain.
"You bastard!" Naruto charged towards Jellal but was suddenly stopped and was unable to move. His body was covered in moving snake tattoos. "What the?"
"Ah ah ah, I wouldn't do that Naruto. I'd only end up hurting my sacrifice. This is a binding serpent spell. It should stop you from moving." A lacrima lifted from the ground behind Naruto. "As for using Naruto that's simple little Erza. I needed a body that can withstand the power of Etherion."
"But I have no magic power."
"It's not you yourself. It's the Nine Tails inside of you. That is the body I will use to resurrect Zeref! Who do you think made the Magic council watch you for four years? It was my idea. I wanted to see this power held inside with my own two eyes." Jellal moved Naruto's body into the giant lacrima. Once half of his body was inside the lacrima Naruto's body painfully started to react to it. Naruto fought the pain. "Oh exalted Zeref! I am here before you! Offering this demon's body as your sacrifice!" Naruto slowly was sucked into the lacrima. Naruto thought to himself 'Well at least i'm well dressed.'
Erza watched in horror as Naruto was crying out in pain. "NARUTOOOO!" Erza cried out fro Naruto as a figure quickly grabbed his free arm and pulled him out of the lacrima. "Thank you... Natsu." Erza quietly thanked Natsu for saving Naruto.
"Naruto belongs to Fairy Tail. He not your sacrifice."
"Woah that was close. Thanks Natsu I owe you one."
"Great what do you owe me?"
"It's a figure of speech Natsu."
"Aww man you not got anything else?" Naruto looked at Natsu. 'He seriously can't be this stupid!' "I'm only messing hahaha." Again Naruto just looked at Natsu. 'You bastard.'
"Ok Natsu. Lets show Jellal here why people shouldn't mess with Fairy Tail."
"AYE SIR!"
(Naruto & Natsu vs Jellal)
"Interesting the dragon and the demon fighting as one." Jellal was excited about the fight. " I'll crush you both."
"No.. Run... Jellal's too strong!" Erza pleaded with both mages to not fight. "I don't want to see you die in front of me."
Naruto walked towards Erza he picked her up onto her knees. "I'm sorry Erza but I have to do this." Naruto punched Erza hard into her stomach knocking her out. Natsu seen Erza's face a lit his whole body in flames. Naruto with his back turned to Jellal made several hand signs before quickly turning to face Natsu. "FIRE STYLE: GREAT GIANT FIREBALL!" A massive fire ball blasted its way towards Natsu who swallowed the Flames whole. "You're gonna need the power boost to keep up with me Natsu. Don't waste it. I won't be able to do that again for a while."
(The Last Magic OST)
"So if you're done can we begin?" Jellal taunted the pair. Naruto simply nodded at Natsu who charged in towards Jellal.
"FIRE DRAGON'S WING ATTACK!" Jellal just dodged the flames extended from Natsu's arms. "FLYING RAIJIN: RASENGAN!" Naruto raijin'd to the mark on Natsu and hit Jellal square on the chest with a rasengan. "FIRE DRAGON'S!" "WIND STYLE!" "ROAAAAAAAR!""AIR BULLET!" Naruto and Natsu shoot out their element towards Jellal to the two mixed while travelling towards him. Naruto's wind attack increased the size of Natsu's flames. It crashed into Jellal who was sent flying but readjusted himself midair. "METEOR!" Jellal's body was surrounded by a golden light. He flew through the air in an incredible speed. He kicked and punched both Natsu and Naruto several times. "What's wrong? Can't keep up with the pace!"
"I can't see him. He's moving to fast!" Natsu didn't know how to hit Jellal.
"I can still keep up or have you forgot! FLYING RAIJIN!" Naruto raijin'd to Natsu again and blocked Jellal's attack before he could strike Natsu again. "Game over Jellal! FLYING RAIJIN!" Naruto had managed to mark Jellal upon blocking his last attack and jumped behind him. Jellal managed to avoid his attack but every time he moved to counter Naruto raijin'd to the other side and continued to press on with his attacks. Finally Naruto managed to roundhouse kick Jellal back towards to ground. "BATTER UP NATSU!" Jellal was falling straight into the path of Natsu. "On it! FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" Natsu punched Jellal with all of his might and Naruto raijin'd back to Jellal once more. "FIRE STYLE: RASENBLAZE!" Natsu and Naruto's attack struck Jellal on both sides. They both moved back to a safe distance as the heat from the flames was the flames subsided Jellal was seen still standing. Most of his clothes had burnt away. All he was wearing was a tight armour covering most of his body.
"I expected more power from both of you. I must say I'm not impressed with what I have seen." Jellal flew into the air. He marked the sky above with seven magic seals. "GRAND CHARIOT!" Light blasted down to the ground and struck both mages. The attack continued for several minutes as Jellal used this attack over and over again. When the attack had finally stopped both Natsu and Naruto were lying on the ground. Erza slowly woke up to find both mages slowly get up to there feet.
(Fairy Tail Slow Theme OST)
"You can hit us all you want. You won't give up." Natsu spoke badly beat up for the barrage of attacks.
"Natsu's right y'know. And beside they're other way to winning this fight!" Naruto was more badly hurt. He had blocked several attack for Natsu. His right leg was broken.
"With a broken leg Naruto tell me how can you win this fight?"
"Like this! RASENGAN!" Naruto slammed his rasengan into the lacrima on the ground.
"I agree! FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" Natsu soon followed by slamming his fist into the ground as well. Both attacks casue large craters and blown away a lot of the lacrima.
"NO, MY WORK! MY EIGHT YEARS OF WORK! DIE!" Jellal lifted his arms into the air crossing them. He sated to gather dark magic in a giant ball between them. Erza seen what Jellal was doing and stood up and ran as fast as she could and tried to block the blast with her body.
"No Erza Don't be stupid!" Naruto pleaded with Erza to run away.
"Stop this Jellal. If you continue your sacrifice will die!" Erza looked at Jellal with a deadly glare.
"I can always try it again! ALTAIRIS!" Jellal threw the dark ball of magic towards the members of Fairy Tail. Naruto acted quickly. "SHADOW CLONE!" Four clones moved into a square and Naruto pulled a hand seal and all four clapped together. "FOUR FLAMES FORMATION!" But in that moment in the corner of Naruto's eye he seen someone jump in front of the oncoming blast.
Thankfully this person had just made his way inside the barrier. "No one is dying on my watch." Naruto smiled as he seen that Simon was alright. Erza started to cry when she seen Simon's back.
"Why would you do something so reckless!"
"I think Naruto and Natsu rubbed off on me hehe." Simon feel to the grond he was bleeding badly and Erza tried her best the seal the wound and stop the bleeding.
(Naruto's mind space)
"Hey brat!"
"What is it Nine Tails?"
"The lacrima has dissolved the barrier made by that little girl. I can now give you some chakra."
"I don't want it."
"You don't understand Naruto. This shall be a one time only deal."
"What deal are you talking about?"
"This brat want to use me as a tool to revive his god or what ever. I refuse to be used in that way! I would rather live inside of you than die to create a human."
"So your saying you like me more than Jellal?"
"That's not what I'm saying brat! I'm saying out of the two options in front of me I'd support you. Now take my chakra and kill him."
"You'll try to take control."
"I want you to take him out! Why would I take control! Now take my chakra!" A flow of red chakra surrounded Naruto. Naruto accepted the chakra into his body.
(Naruto vs Jellal)
Naruto's leg quickly snapped back into place. The crunching sound brought a chill down the spine of everyone who heard it. Everyone turned around to see Naruto standing upright." Natsu take a seat back I'm taking this fight up a few gears." Natsu didn't argue back. Naruto's face was almost unrecognisable. There were black lines around his lips and eyes. Hies eyes were blood crimson red, his whiskers more profound and his hair was wilder. An aura of red chakra started to cover Naruto's body and he dropped into all fours. The aura of chakra around him formed two fox ears and a single tail.
"No... No..." Erza didn't know what to say. She thought Naruto had given into the Nine Tails.
"HAHAHA so is this the Nine Tails taking Control?"
"No." Naruto spoke with coldness.
(My Name OST)
"He's given me this power to stop you!" Naruto ran behind Jellal. Lacrima into the air from the sear power he was putting into his hands and feet as he ran. "NINE TAILED FIST!" The chakra fist hit Jellal sending him crashing into a pillar of lacrima.
"METEOR!" Jellal tried to move away from Naruto. 'He's too powerful in this form!' Jellal thought to himself but Naruto quickly raijin'd behind Jellal. Naruto spinned in the air and his chakra tail struck Jellal forcing him into the ground. "MULTI SHADOW CLONE!" An army of clone appears all in normal chakra state. Each clone formed a ball of chakra as they fell towards Jellal. "RASENGAN BARRAGE!" All of the clones crashed into Jellal as a massive explosion was cause from the impact of so many rasengan blasts in one concentrated area. When the blast subsided Jella was seen lying on the ground. His body not moving.
"He did it! He defeated Jellal!" Simon was amazed as Erza had managed to stop the bleeding. Seeing that Simon would be alright Erza ran towards Naruto. Simon watched and knew what Erza was feeling. 'It seem I was too late after all.'
Naruto breathed slowly and pulled a hand sign. "RELEASE!" Slowly the Nine Tails's chakra pulled back inside of Naruto. When the chakra disapear Erza Hugged him tightly.
"I'm so happy your ok!" Tears fell from Erza's eyes as Naruto place his hand on her head. "Let's go home Erza."
The group was slowly making there way out of the power but there was a massive problem. The Etherion's power was becoming too much for the lacrima to handle and the tower as about to explode. Naruto knew what had to be done. The called for Natsu to help carry Erza down and when Natsu held Erza he let go of her and walked towards the lacrima.
"What are you doing Naruto?" Simon asked Naruto as he placed his hand on the lacrima.
"I'm sorry guys but. I'm afraid you'll be returning to Fairy Tail without me."
"Stop joking Naruto. Come on Your worrying Erza." Natsu tried to get Naruto to move away from the lacrima.
"You idiot! Why are you doing this?" Erza didn't know what Naruto was thinking.
"If I don't do this none of us will be returning him. I have to do this to stop the Etherion" Naruto's hand was sucked into the lacrima. Slowly his arms was pulled in. Soon half of his body. Naruto turned his body so he could face his friends. "I'm sorry Erza. This is as far as I'm going. You all have long lives in front of you. You'll still have Fairy Tail. Remember that... That it's home." A tear fell from Naruto's eye.
"No Naruto why are you doing this?" Erza pleaded with Naruto to fight his way out of the lacrima. Erza was crying her heart out. "Why are you making me cry Naruto."
"Erza. I've never meant to make you cry. If I don't do this. You'll die as well. That is something I can't let happen."
"What about Me , Lucy and Gray? Or Cana? Or Mira and Elfman? What about your Grandfather?!" Natsu looked at Naruto the same way as Erza. He was fighting back the tears.
"I can't imagine a life without Fairy Tail. Even thought I'm from another world. You are my real family. Tell Jiji and Laxus... I died so other could live. And that I was glad to as well." Finally the whole of Naruto's body fell into the lacrima. Erza and Natsu banged at the edge of the giant crystal.
"Naruto! Get out please!"
"I can't Erza. but know this... I love you Erza Scarlet." Naruto brightly smiled at Erza as the light faded and he fell into darkness.
(Unknown time or place)
(Hokage's Funeral OST)
When Naruto opened his eyes he seen himself floating in a great sea. There was nothing around him. "Is this the afterlife?" As Nqaruto spoke the world around recreated himself and he found himself outside of the cathedral in Magnolia. It was raining. The whole of Fairy Tail was dressed in black. standing at the front was Makarov, Erza and Laxus. They wer standing in front of a grave inscribed.
NARUTO DREYAR
Shadow of
Fairy Tail
X763-X784
"So I really am dead."
Makarov walked forward in front of the crowd. "Naruto... He loved us all. He came from another world and made Fairy Tail his home. Even though he could not use magic it never stopped nor did it slow him down. Everyone who knew him was brought a little bit of happiness into their lives. Love.. can make people strong... But" Tears started to flow from Makarov's eyes. "Love can also cause the greatest pain of all. It's sad when a grandfather has to watch the burial of his grandson. I... I pray you rest in piece my boy." Laxus put his hand on Makarov's shoulder tears flowing from his eyes as well.
Members of the Magic council moved forward. "We the remaining members of the Magic council have voted and have come to agree that Naruto will be the eternal fifth seat of the ten wizards saints."
"He's not dead." Erza softly spoke. "He's not dead." Makarov turned towards Erza. "He's not dead." Makarov and Laxus held Erza. Erza finally broke down in tears. She had held it in for so long.
"I did this for you all. but I've only cause pain. Please forgive me." Naruto cried as a the world around him faded into nothingness. A bright light shined in front of him. He saw two figure standing before him. He could not see the faces of the two as the light shined behind them. One was a man with spiky hair the other a woman with long hair.
"Now is not your time my son."
"Dad!"
"Its not your time Naruto. We'll be waiting."
"Mom!" Naruto tried to run towards the two standing in front of him but they were moving away from him as the world started to fall black.
"Go back son! Your friends need you!"
And there you go. That's the end of the Tower of Heaven Arc! Hope you all enjoyed it the little twists I thought about lol hope they worked. Gonna have a 2 part break before the next big arc. Fantasia! anyway 2 questions for this chapter's Q&A!
1) Is Naruto going to get sage mode? Was asked before but I normally get asked the same questions lol. Naruto won't be getting sage mode as their is one to teach him it. Simple. Sorry
2) Favourite Manga? At the moment i'd say Assassination Classroom. I think it's brilliant. All time easy Dragonball part 1! in my opinion its better than the anime. Good old adventure gag manga!
That's all for this Arc I hope you've all enjoyed it. Till next time!
