Chapter 19: The Magic Council Part 3: Siegrain
Year: X781
Location: The Road to Magonlia
Naruto's current mission was not one that he liked when he first got it. He was to go back to the Fairy Tail guild and bring Erza Scarlet to the council for a hearing. He was making his way back into town when he came across an old friend back taking requests again.
"Lucy? Is that you?"
"Oh Naruto its good to see you again!" Lucy ran over to Naruto and gave him a tight hug. "How are you and what in Earthland are you wearing?"
"I'm still great Lucy but I still stuck doing the magic council's dirty work. Just cause the rune knights are too scared to go near guild mages they send me out to fetch them. Drives me up the wall haha."
Lucy and Naruto continued to walk towards the guild as talked about how the guild had changed since Naruto left.
"So Mira's an A ranked now huh and Erza's an S! Looks like my record of youngest S class wizard didn't last long. Haha"
"Well she has been trying so hard to catch up to you since you left. I think she misses you y'know." Lucy nudged Naruto who blushed from the solid script mage's suggestion.
They eventually reached the guild hall itself and a roar could be heard once news spread that Naruto was back in Fairy Tail. His grandfather walked up to him.
"OVER ONE YEAR YOU HAVE BEEN AWAY AND YOU STILL HAVE THE DAMN GRIN ON YOUR FACE!" Makarov was standing in his titan form. He changed back to his normal state and tightly hugged Naruto. "I miss you my boy."
"I miss you too Jiji."
Everyone in the guild was happy to see this bonding moment Naruto and Makarov shared. "So what brings you here Naruto? Still on council duty?"
"I'm afriad so Jiji. I have to bring Erza back to Era with me."
"I see. Erza isn't back at the moment but she shouldn't be back until tomorrow. Why don't you wait here in the guild. I'm sure there a few young ones who would like to see you again. Even if it's only for the day"
"NARUTO!" Naruto and Makarov turned to find Natsu and Happy running/flying towards him. Natsu and Happy crashed into Naruto.
"Hey Natsu, Happy How are you?"
"You're dong great Naruto I'm a B ranked wizard now! Hey hey hey wanna fight?"
Naruto started to toy with Natsu. "Hmmmm let me think about it."
"Pleeeeease." Nastu was begging Naruto.
"Since you twisted my arm...ok"
"AWESOME!"
(Invoke Magic OST)
Naruto and Natsu stood off against each other. Makarov stood between them with the rest of the guild watching.
"BEGIN!"
Natsu charged at Naruto "FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" Naruto slapped Natsu's elbow before he could make contact forcing Natsu to miss Naruto. Naruto tried to roundhouse kick Natsu but he ducked to dodge the kick. "Not bad Natsu. But try this!" Naruto threw a smoke bomb covering the area. "FIRE DRAGON'S WING ATTACK!" Natsu started to spin with flames spiralling into the air lifting the smoke into the vortex clearing the area. "For you that's really clever."
"Dammit I thought you'd get hit by that." Natsu started to huff.
"SO THAT WAS JUST LUCK!" Everyone in the guild sweat dropped as Naruto shouted at Natsu.
"What did you expect for a flame brain." Both mages turned to find Gray walking towards the pair. "Mind if I join in?"
"Get to the back of the line pal I'm fighting Naruto first."
"Sure."
"Aww come on Naruto. Fight me with everything you have!"
"I'm not Natsu. If I was going full out I would've raijin'd to that mark I put on you. With Gray fighting along with you it will even it out a bit more." Natsu huffed but agreed that Naruto could've ended this fight sooner. "Fine then." Gray and Naruto both took a defensive stance. "SHADOW CLONE!" A single clone appeared beside Naruto. The clone pulled out two kunai and held them in reverse grip and charged for Gray. The real Naruto placed a hand sign before charging at Natsu. Both mages charged at the version of Naruto that went to attack them.
"FIRE DRAGON's!"
"FIRE STYLE!"
"ICE BRINGER!" Two blades of ice formed in both palms of Gray's hand and tried to cut Naruto but the clone could only block the first before being defeated.
"IRON FIST!"
"RASENBLAZE!" Both attacks causing a huge explosion of flames and Naruto being sent flying and crashing into the guild hall wall. Naruto shrugged the dust of him.
"It seems your Iron Fist is stronger than my Rasenblaze. Gray, the timing of your attack is getting better." A smile grew from both mages. Naruto would rarely complement them. "But you still have a long way to go until you think you can beat me! SHADOW CLONE!" Twenty clones appeared and dashed towards the two mages. Two clones punched Natsu and Gray forcing them to hit each other.
"HEY!"
"OUT OF MY WAY NATSU!"
"That's your weakness. Your teamwork! NA! RU! TO!" Six clones kick both mages into the air as the rest of the clone started to mould chakra in their hands. "RASENGAN BARRAGE!" Explosions of blue chakra covered both mages. All of Naruto's clone dispelled covering the guild in smoke. When the smoke settled Natsu and Gray were lying knocked out on the guild hall floor. Parts of the floor had been a bit damaged from the explosions.
"I agree with you Naruto but at least they weren't fighting themselves like always." Naruto turned to see who had spoke to him.
"Erza your back early, I didn't expect you to be back until tomorrow." Makarov spoke.
"I finish the job request a bit earlier than I thought was needed master. It's good to see you back Naruto. Are you here long?"
"Actually Erza your... Kind of the reason I'm here." Naruto started to rub the back of his head almost embarrassed to say why he came back. Naruto's body language caused Erza's face the blush the same colour as her hair.
"Erza my dear Naruto is here to bring you to the magic council for a hearing." Makarov decided to kill the mood. It was also to try and save his grandson some embarrassment.
"They liiiiiike each other!" Happy trolled both mages causing Erza to blush even more.
"NOW ITS REALLY STARTING TO GET OLD HAPPY!" Naruto kicked Happy sending him crashing into the roof of the guild. "Anyway, I'm sorry Erza but I have to bring you to the magic council. Will you be coming too Jiji seeing Erza is under eighteen?"
"No, I want you to act as the representative for the guild in the hearing Naruto. My backs starting to act up again."
"Fine then we better go Erza. We might still be able to catch then next rain to Era on time."
"Just one thing before we go Naruto. Why are you here by yourself. Aren't you suppose to have an escort of rune knights with you?" Erza asked as she re-quipped into her civilian clothes.
"Normally yes but since I'm a member of Fairy Tail I managed to convince them in saying you would come with me without the normal struggle most other guild mages offer hehe." Naruto showed Erza and Makarov a cheeky grin causing both to smile from Naruto's faith in his fellow guild members.

The train ride was a quite one. Neither mage wanted to talk first and the trip would be imprinted in both their minds with awkward silence. As they were walking toward the magic council Erza suddenly hugged Naruto. "Hey Erza what's up? You don't have too worry your not in any real trouble." Naruto started to blush from Erza's breasts pushing into his back.
"It's not that. I-I've missed you Naruto. Everyone missed you." Erza tighten her grip. Naruto managed to turn his body in Erza's bear hug and pat her head. "I'm sorry Erza. I really am. I never wanted to do this but... Because of my... Other half they want to keep an eye on me. I don't think it will be for too long. So don't worry I will be back in Fairy Tail. I promise."
"You better keep that promise you got that!" Erza smiled at Naruto as she finally dropped her hug.
Both mages finally arrived at the Magic council headquarters. They were walking towards the hearing room when Naruto noticed someone walk towards them. "Councilman Siegrain! What are you doing here?"
"Don't worry Naruto. I'm just here to welcome Erza and make sure she is ok." Erza poked out from behind Naruto to see who he was talking to. "J-Jellal!" Erza quickly re-quipped into here normal armour and drew two swords as she took a defensive stance. "EXPLAIN WHY YOU ARE HERE JELLAL!"
"Erza drop the swords this is Siegrain not Jellal."
"Don't believe his lies Naruto I know that face it is Jellal!" Fire started to burn in Erza's eyes.
"I'm sorry Erza but Naruto is correct. I'm not Jellal but his twin brother Siegrain." Erza slowly started to lower her swords until they disappeared. 'Not once did Jellal ever talk about his twin brother. This guy is up to no good.' Erza was in deep thought.
"Now that issue is sorted I thank you Naruto for a job well done. I'll take Erza from here on now."
"I'm afraid I can't with all respect councilman Siegrain." Naruto took off his glove to reveal his guild mark as he showed it to Siegrain."I'm here to act as a representative for Fairy Tail since Erza is under eighteen. I'm doing this on my grandfather's behalf since he couldn't make it."
"Very well. Then I hope you don't mind if I walk you you."
"Not at all." Erza walked close to Naruto as all three walked towards the room where the hearing was to take place. They stopped outside of a large door.
"This is the room here. Don't worry Miss Scarlet. I'll go easy on you in the hearing." Siegrain Started to walk down the hall back in the direction they were walking in. He whispered something in Erza's ear causing The red haired mage to freeze in fear. Naruto couldn't hear what was said but was worried about Erza. Siegrain Continued to walk down the hallway until he faded. Erza slowly walked forward and held on to Naruto. "Promise me Naruto. Promise me they won't put any chains on me." Erza didn't want to show the tears in her eyes to Naruto. Naruto didn't get angry he was more concerned about Erza. Naruto wiped away Erza's tears. He really wanted to know what Siegrain had said to her but didn't want to ask if it might've upset her even more."Don't worry Erza I'll be right with you and I won't let that happen." Naruto opened the doors as they both walked into the courtroom.
And cut. and as you've mostly likely guessed the pairing will be... yes that's right NarutoxMira! I'm just messing with you lol. Had quite alot of fun think and writing this chapter so I hope you all enjoyed it now for the Q&A!
1) Are you going to be writing any more stories? Well I have been thinking about it to be honest and I'm going to try and do a one shot. I plan to do it while I'm taking my break from Part 1 (pre-cannon) and part 2 (FT cannon). If you have any for a type of story lie romance, horror or full on comedy give me a shout. but don't worry after this arc cannon will start in the new year.
2) What other 'loose ends' will you be working on? I have three I want to work on but it will be in two chapters so next chapter might be a bit of a long one lol
3) What's going to happen to Lisanna and Lucy McGarden? You'll have to wait and find out I'm afraid lol
4) Is Bacchus based on Jiraiya? Well I tried to base him more on Neji. The Neji from Road to Ninja that is... minus the Byakugan.
Only 2 more chapter of this Arc to go before I will start Fairy Tail cannon. I was wondering as well if anyone of my readers could do me a massive favour as well. most writers have a picture for their profile or for their stories and to be honest when it comes to drawing I'm utterly useless. So could anyone please draw me a picture for this story. I'll tell your imagination run wild for this one, thank you. If you have any question don't be shy you can either private message me or review and I will gladly answer your questions. Till next time!
