'I hate grocery shopping.' Naruto thought to himself as he walked towards the new apartment he and Morgiana were taking residence in. He would much rather kill his food himself, and these stupid veggies were so annoying. The only time he ate them was when they were in ramen, and that was rare because he normally picked pork, miso, or salt ramen as the types he would eat. Thankfully grocery shopping wasn't the only thing he had to do, because while he did do it he mostly went out today to pick up some more furniture. The apartment was empty except for the beds in the rooms, and the fridge.
He was attracting the eyes of women as he passed down the streets of the town, and he got some wolf whistles in appreciatiojn for his showing form. Instead of his usual breast and shoulder plates, Naruto was wearing his older white vest to go with the golden battle skirt. Wearing the chest and shoulder plates just got uncomfy on a hot day like this, while the skirt had a nice breeze to it. The sudden heat wave in Magnolia was unexpected, and surprisingly it was about to the same degree as a heat wave back in Konoha.
The original plan for the day HAD been to go on a mission with Wendy and Morgiana, possibly Juvia, but the heat wave had taken the driuve to get money out of Wendy. The girl didn't do very well during the heat apparently. Not that he could blame her for that, but it was annoying that his partner couldn't handle the heat like he could. He wasn't even sweating, nor was Morgiana, of course she came from a hot country, and he was literally born in a place named the Land of Fire. Of course both of them could take a small heat wave. Going up the steps to the apartment Lucy had suggested, Naruto used his key to unlock the door and walk into... only to find that Morgiana wasn't alone.
"Nice digs you got here."
'What the hell?' Naruto asked himself as he looked to see Erza, Lucy, Gray, Wendy, and Natsu sitting in the middle of the apartment with Happy sleeping on top of Natsu's head. Naruto's eye twitched, and he slammed the door shut on himself before he opened it again to see if there was any change in who was there... there was, because now Morgiana was in the room after hearing him open the door and coming out of her room. Naruto sighed in annoyance, before he walked passed the group and into the small kitchen to put the food away.
"I know how you feel, Natsu dragged me along." Lucy called out to him, knowing how it felt to be surprised with people in your home. The fact they were intruding on the home of two 13 year olds was kind of creepy, not to mention that Gray was in his underwear by choice. He was an ice mage, so this heat wave was killing him. He had a low heat resistance for tempatures like this, which might be why Naruto hadn't kicked his ass for being naked.
"I am not offering any of you drinks." Naruto said as he grabbed an orange soda from the fridge, and popped the top off of the glass. Naruto sat right on Erza's lap, since he wasn't about to sit next to Gray on the couch. She didn't seem to mind, while Morgiana took the soda from Naruto and took a few gulps of it. Naruto laughed lightly, before taking it back.
"They wouldn't tell me why they were here until you got here." Morgiana said with a neutral expression, because she had no problem with most of them... just Wendy.
"We got a cool mission, and Erza wanted to invite Team Holy Beasts along." Natsu told them with a grin on his face, and Naruto tilted his head in confusion. He was pretty sure that they didn't have a team name at the moment, since the team was just him and Wendy. He didn't count Morgiana as part of a Mage Team because she wasn't a mage. Just using magic put her life at risk, and it would do the same to him if his reserves hadn't been so insanely high when he had been a ninja.
"Team Holy Beasts?" Wendy was the one to ask in confusion, this being the first time that she had heard of it either. Lucy nodded and showed them the magazine that she had been reading, that had the pictures of Naruto, Wendy, and Juvia on it. Wendy took the paper and started to read some of the information out loud, while Naruto stood up to read over her shoulder.
Fairy Tail's newest Team revealed!
Thanks to an secret source, we have uncovered that Fairy Tail has recently gained multiple new members, one of which has been growing in fame as Byakko the White Tiger and the King of Beasts. The slayer of dragons Naruto Uzumaki, and as apprentice of Erza Scarlet the Titania has also been labled as the Prince of Fairies by many young women that had recently voted for Mister Uzumaki in the recent poll of Mages you would most want as your boyfriend.
The Team had been named Team Holy Beasts by out local reporter Jason!
The Team currently consists of known mages Naruto Uzumaki and Juvia Lockser, while a lesser known mage Wendy Marvell has shown to be a member while also gaining fame of her own. Each member of Team Holy Beasts were given the alias that had been thought to best describe them.
Team leader Naruto Uzumaki has been known as Byakko the White Tiger, the Tiger of the West and the King of Beasts. He was said to be given these names from the very dragon he killed at the young age of 12, and had recently been given the name the Prince of Fairies by being apprentinced to the Queen of Fairies Erza Scarlet.
The next member of the team is ex-Phantom Lord member Juvia Lockser, who was once known as Juvia the Great Sea. Recently though, for unknown reason Juvia had also undergone a alias change from Juvia the Great Sea, to Genbu the Black Turtle. The Turtle of the North. Reporters think this may hint at her usual shy attitude, and her preference for black clothes. It was also proven that she was on the same team as Naruto Uzumaki when he killed a dragon.
The final member of the team at the moment is Wendy Marvell, also slightly known as the Sky Sorceress. Due to her recent victories over the well known Dark Guild O.S. she had shown to be a dragon slayer, which leads to her own new name Seiryu the Azure Dragon. The Dragon of the East, which fits with hiw Wendy Marvell was once a resident of the Eastern forest Guild Cait Shelter. Wendy Marvell is a budding young girl, that shows to one day grow up to be a mature beauty in her own right.
"Seiryu the Azure Dragon?" Wendy asked out loud, this information being completely new to her as well. She did see a pattern though with the names. She was a dragon slayer with blue hair, and she used wind while having been brought up in the eastern most forest of Fiore. The name did fit her well, but she had a feeling that the names had been decided based on Naruto's mage name.
"I like it, because you have really pretty blue hair." Naruto said as he absentmindedly ran a hand through her hair, while Erza jumped her fist silently at the display. Scoring another point in her mind for the Naruto/Wendy Team, and Wendy seemed to be very aware of Naruto as her cheeks turned bright pink from the close contact. She let out a sigh of relief when it was over, while Morgiana ran a finger through her blood red hair.
"You liiiiike him!" Natsu teased when he saw Wendy's face, while Happy woke up from the teasing and saw where he was. Naruto wasn't paying attention what went on around them in favor of looking back at the magazine. Under the sections about his team, Naruto saw something a bit more concerning.
New Dark Guild has appeared.
Ex-Independent Guild 'Toxic Skull' has recently been labled as a Dark Guild by the Council, for the various crimes of mass murder, rape, taking on illegal missions, and working with Council traitor Ultear Milkovichon multiple occasions.
Toxic Skull consists of only three members, but each member has been said to be on par with those of S-Class strength. Each member though have all commited crimes that have earned them each the run on sight order. The most terrible of which is the mass murder of two Light Guilds, and each time a message has been seen written in the blood of the killed.
'We are coming for you Tiger-kun! Ultear-sama wants you back!'
Who Tiger-kun is, we are not sure, but we pity him for getting on the bad sides of this new Dark Guild and incuring the wrath of Ultear Milkovich.
Shion (The Crusher) Ozu - A clinically insane girl about 18 years old with long messy black hair and red eyes with pale skin. Usually seen in an unkept highschool girls outfit, she has commited over 92 known murders. Not much is known about her magic, other than it gives her amazing levels of strength and durability. She has shown to have a near to total immunity to Lightning Magic, and she is not usually seen without some kind of gun on her person. S-Class Mage.
Kanon (The Eel) Ozu - The older faternal twin of Shion Ozu. A quiet, yet insane, girl also of 18 years old with messy blonde hair and amber eyes. She is always seen wearing multiple layers of clothes and a skirt. She and her sister are both slim in figure, yet unlike her sister Kanon has not shown to use the same magic. This sister uses a rare form of Lightning Magic, and she shows the same lightning immunity as her sister. Kanon is never seen without her weapon of choice either. Her known crimes are the murder of 64 known murders, and the attempted assasination of the King of Fiore. S-Class Mage.
Richard (The Gunsmen) Metalkeeper - Nothing but the name of this mage is know, no body has seen the face of this man and lived to tell of it. S-Class Mage.
'Ultear!' Naruto thought as his thiught turned darker right away. If he could track these three down, then he could get information about Ultear out of them before turning them over to the Ruin Knights. He didn't care what happened to them after that, and while everyone was laughing at some joke that Natsu had told he secretly ripped out the page about Toxic Skull and placed it into the pocket dimension.
"Hey Naruto, do you want to come on this mission with us or not?" Natsu asked as he held out the mission paper to Naruto, and he didn't even spare the papaer a glance.
"Not this time. I have some important business I have to take care of." Naruto said seriously as a rare side of himself showed. Natsu just looked at Erza for a second, before she nodded and stood up.
"You are coming with us for the mission. To much stress isn't good on a boy your age." Erza said as she handed Naruto the mission paper, and he had to look at it this time. Naruto looked at it for a second, before sighing. It wasn't like he knew where these three were anyway, so wasting his time looking right now when he had no clue where to look would make things more difficult.
I'm not stressed, but I will join you on the mission anyway." Naruto said as he looked at the mission again with a raised eyebrow. He passed the paper to Wendy, and she gasped in joy when she saw what was on the paper.
Mission Rank: A
Mission Location: Era
Mission Client: Yashima
Mission Description: Work as waiters and waitresses
Reward: A Free Meal
"Working... as a waiter?" Naruto asked himself, before he shrugged to nobody. There was a first time for everything, but why this was an A-class mission he would never know. It could be the fact it was sent to Fairy Tail, which was pretty far away from Era.
"Yeah, this mission comes to Fairy Tail once every month. Everyone has done it before, besides you and Wendy." Gray told them, before he covered his butt when Naruto looked at him. Maybe being naked in Naruto's apartment was not a smart idea on his part... but it was so hot outside.
"It is kind of like a right of passage as a member of Fairy Tail, and the place has some good air conditioning. The food is great as well." Lucy explained, having done this mission herself once. Normally there was also a money reward, but not this time apparently. Naruto looked at it, before nodding to himself.
"How are we getting there?" Naruto asked, because he sure as hell wasn't going to fly from here to Era carrying people. That would be to exhausting, and not to mention the group was way to big for that.
"Train." Erza answered rather simply, while Natsu paled. He wasn't the only one that grew pale at hearing that, but Wendy's skin grew paler as well at this news.
She had learned a two weeks ago that apparently, she had reached the level in her dragon slayer training that she now also had to worry about motion sickness. When she had been training, she learned that she could use Dragon Force, but the trade off of being completely useless on transportation was humiliating. That being said, she still couldn't completely enter Draon Force at will just yet, just when her emotions were really high.
She had thought that Natsu had been overreacting when he got on trains, but nope. As it turns out Natsu was acting like he was dying because the feeling of always being about to throw up and not having your balance was just that bad. On the train ride over to Magnolia originally she had thrown up eight times, and smacked her face against the floor twenty times or more. She now had a true appreciation for Naruto flying her places before, because now she was handlicapped when it came to boats, trains, and any other vehicles.
Sometimes being a Dragon Slayer sucked.
Chapter End.
Dragons Slayers DO have a transportation weakness when they reach a certain level in their training. Not just their strength. I think that once they are advanced enough so that they are capable or enduring Dragon Force that they get the motion sickness. Wendy didn't have it is canon because her body wasn't ready, but after 'bathing' in the blood of Titus to go help Naruto she suddenly became capable of Dragon Force, so the weakness to motion sickness came with it.
