Part 2: Chapter 8: Aftermath

Naruto slowly opened his eyes. He was sitting in the resort room. Looking around he found Erza sleeping on top of Gray's bed beside his own. She was lying above the covers but her armour wasn't on, she was wearing her normal clothes. Most of Naruto's body was covered in bandages. His stomach was in pain. He seen Erza's sleeping face and he didn't know if he was alive or dead. The door opened and Natsu, Gray and Lucy walked into the room.

"Hey guys."

"Naruto! Your finally awake!" Natsu showed the most relief out of everyone who saw Naruto. Gray and Lucy quickly covered Natsu's mouth as Erza was still sleeping.

"You idiot you're gonna wake Erza up." Gray whispered into Natsu's ear but he was too late. Erza was slowly groaning as she pulled herself up and sat upright. The group seen this and bolted quickly outside of the room. When Erza finally seen Naruto wake she rushed over to his bedside and hugged him tightly. She held on to Naruto with all of the force she had.

Naruto was struggling to breath. Erza was hold Naruto so tight it was crushing his chest. "Er...za." Naruto weakly cried out. Erza realized what she was doing and let go of Naruto. Naruto quickly tried to get his breath back from Erza's 'attack.'

"Don't ever scare me like that again Naruto! I thought I'd never see you again." Tears began to flow from Erza's eyes. "I.. I don't know what I'd do.."

"I'm sorry Erza, I thought I was doing the right thing. But as I said. I'd never forgive myself I you died when I could have done something." Naruto put an arm around Erza and hugged her. "Who got me out of the lacrima?" Naruto asked Erza only now realizing the he was in fact alive and well.

"Natsu ate some of the lacrima and used its magic to pull you out. I think he used the power of the Dragon Force. He's been asleep for a long time but not as long as you."

"How long have I been out for?"

"Two weeks."

"'What! Two weeks! Ugh!" Naruto grabbed his stomach. Naruto could feel something moving inside of his body. He yelled out in pain. Erza tried to hold Naruto down. She called out for help. Thankfully the group were outside trying to eavesdrop on the pair as Natsu spilled the beans between the pair in his sleep.

(Naruto's mind space)

Naruto was standing in front of the Nine Tails but something was not right. There were glowing golden flames floating around in the spaces between the two. They flowed between and around both Naruto and the Nine Tails.

"Hey Nine Tails, You have any idea what's going on here?"

"Not a single clue brat. But whatever they are they reject me." The Nine Tails tried to touch one of the flames but the flame moved away from his claw. Naruto tried to do the same but the flame instead rested on the palm of his hand.

"I think I might know what this is." Naruto then left his mind space leaving the Nine Tails annoyed at his arrogance.

When Naruto woke up again. The pain in his stomach was gone. Erza and the rest of the group were still in the room. They gathered around Naruto when he woke.

"Hey you ok?" Erza was the first to ask Naruto.

"Yeah... Actually... I think I can use magic now." Naruto shocked everyone when he said this.

"I thought you were a chakra user?" Gray asked as everyone was still shocked.

"Yeah I can still feel my chakra it's just.." Naruto then formed what would normally be a rasengan but it was completely different. Instead of its normal color blue it was gold. Everyone around was amazed by this. "I think some of the eternano in the etherion blast has been absorbed into my body and has been accepted."

"Well maybe your chakra fused with the eternano?" Everyone turned to look at Lucy. "What? What are you guys staring at?" Lucy started to freak out.

"No, that's not it. I can use magic but it's rejecting the Nine Tails. His chakra levels are by far higher than mine. I don't think that's the reason." The group thought even more.

"My head hurts." Natsu started to moan.

"That because you rarely use it."

"What did you say?!" Natsu slammed his head into Gray's who slammed right back.

"I said it's because you rarely use it!" Erza walked up between the pair. she put her hands on their chins and pushed up. Naruto flinched as Erza casually snapped their necks of of place. "Enough both of you!"

"Why don't we just forget about it for the moment." Everyone agreed with Naruto. "And beside. I need to stretch out my legs for a bit."

(A few days later on the road to Magnolia)

Naruto had made somewhat of a full recovery. Turns out he came back worse off than when he left. Considering he left to get some rest.

"Maybe I can rest a bit after the parade?" Naruto thought to himself out loud.

"Parade?" Lucy didn't know what Naruto was talking about.

"You don't know about the Fantasia Parade? What are you new?.. Oh yeah. Sorry." Naruto only realized what he said after he spoke. Erza and Gray face palmed. Happy and Natsu carried on like nothing happened.

"The Fantasia Parade is Fairy Tail's part in the Harvest Festival. All the members of Fairy Tail dress up and preform around the whole of Magnolia in a great parade." Erza came to Naruto's help but dazed off at the end when she thought of the costumes. Lucy stared at Erza not believing her eyes.

"Don't worry she can be girly from time to time." Gray quickly had a sword pointed at his neck.

"Easy Erza he was only joking... Right Gray?" Naruto quickly jumped in.

"Yeah its was only a joke. hahahaha" Gray gave a extremely nervous laugh. Erza looked into his eyes before withdrawing her sword.

Natsu laughed at Gray as the two started there daily fight Naruto and Lucy continue'd to walk to Magnolia. "So yeah everyone in Fairy Tail takes part."

"Even me?" Lucy was starting to get excited didn't think she'd get to take part in the parade.

"Of course. And beside every girl gets the chance to take part in the Miss Fairy Tail contest as well. Plus winner gets two things. First off they get the staring role in the parade. And secondly they get half a million jewel." Naruto nudged Lucy. Tempting her to take part with the prize money.

"That's it I'm in!" Lucy squealed before roaring out. She quickly covered her mouth when she seen Naruto covering his ears. Gray and Natsu had stopped fight to laugh at Naruto sudden deafness. It was a good thing he could hear.

They had finally made it back to the guild. They were amazed by the shear size of it. There was an outside cafe and a shop as well. Naruto and Lucy wanted to know what was sold in the shop.

"Hey guys welcome back."

"Oh my god your Max. I've read about you in weekly magazine."

"Jiji's talked about you as well. Nice to finally meet you."

"It's great to meet you as well and master has been telling stories about you both as well."

'What the hell have they been saying?' Both blondes thought the same thing.

"So Max what's the old man selling here." Naruto looked interested.

"We got mugs, towels, cards, dolls, action figures an." Max was cut off by Happy

"There's a Lucy doll." Happy held the doll into the air.

"Whoa it's so life like!" Naruto was amazed my the artwork of the doll.

"Oh that's our most popular one." Lucy looked so happy when she found out she was the number one selling action figure. "It's clothes are removable as well." That joy was replaced with fear. Lucy tried to get the clothes back onto the doll as Naruto pulled Max out of ear shot.

Naruto looked around to make sure no one else heard. "... Can the Erza doll do that as well?" Max was too scared to answer that question. Erza was standing right behind Naruto. She didn't say anything but just walked over to Lucy and tried to help her. "...Yes."

When they finaly moved inside the guild they were meet by Levy.

"Naruto your back!" Levy ran and hugged Naruto.

"It's great to see your out of the hospital Levy."

"Thanks Naruto. Hey Lu how are you?" Levy turned to greet Lucy.

"I don't like it." Natsu flat out spoke about the guild.

"Well here are all the changes. In the back of the hall we have a swimming pool. There's a game parlor in the basement. And the biggest change is the second floor. Anyone can go up there now. Of course you still have to be with an s class wizard to go on an s class request." Levy pointed out all the new parts of the guild.

"Oh you fools are back. Come, come and meet our new member Juvia. Aint she a cutie!" Makarov greeted them back as he introduced Juvia to the group.

"Juvia is glad to be of service."

"So you really joined?" Gray was happy to see Juvia joining Fairy Tail.

"You helped us a lot at Akane." Erza Thanked Juvia for what happened in the tower.

"It's all thanks to you. Juvia will work hard!" Juvia had a wide smile on her face.

"Glad to have you." The moment Lucy finished Juvia was right into Lucy's face. Giving off a dark aura mumbling 'Love Rival!'

"Its nice to finally meet you. Gray's told a bit about you." It was the first time Naruto had meet Juvia.

"Lord Gray talked about me!" Juvia eyes turned into the shape of hearts as she held her hands together. Naruto turned to happy and slowly nodded his head.

"She liiiiiikes you!" Happy trolled Gray.

"Leave off!" Gray roared back at the cat. Lucy was in shock. Naruto had given Happy permission to love troll. That's why he never done it before. He only does it when Naruto allows him to do it.

"Well that's the first member out of the way. Come now don't be shy come meet you new guild members." Makarov waved at someone to come over.

"Gajeel!" They all gasped in shock. Only Naruto said nothing. He walked up towards Gajeel.

"If the master let you in then I have to accept it. The guild aside you hurt my family. That I will never forgive no matter what you do." A dark chill was sent down Gajeel's spine as Naruto walked away toward Levy. It was more terrifying than when Makarov done and said the same thing to him the week before. Every around relaxed a bit more. Except for Natsu who got right into Gajeel's face.

"I aint gonna work with you!"

"Who said I was going to share jobs with you!" Gajeel and Natsu started to scrap.

"You alright with this Levy?"

"Yeah. I'm ok with it Naruto. Master normally not wrong with these things." Levy backed up Makarov. Albeit at a distance and behind Jet and Droy.

Suddenly the light turned off. A single light turned on and on the stage was Mira hold a guitar.

"Hey Mira!"

"Welcome back. This song is for welcoming back Natsu's group and Naruto." Mira then started to play the guitar and sing. Her voice was soft and pure. The song she sung had everyone swaying from side to side. When the song was over the whole erupted into applause. Until someone shouted out 'who's next!'

Gajeel... Gajeel was sitting on a stool. And mysteriously Lucy was beside him dress as a bunny girl.

"Dance." Gajeel spoke to Lucy covering the microphone with his hand.

"What?!"

"I said dance!" Slightly out of fear Lucy slowly started to dance. Then Gajeel begun to sing. Its was rough and metallic. Juvia, Elfman, Wakaba, Max, Macao and even Naruto where cheering him on. Everyone else were booing except Erza. Erza just looked at Naruto, more out of shock that he like the music.

"What?.. Something different." That was Naruto's only response.

"WHO THREW THAT!" Natsu shouted as he rubbed the back of his head. A Chair crashed into his face. Natsu then Started hitting random members. Soon the entire guild was in a massive brawl. Naruto ran for his life as he might of accidentally punched Gray into knocking Erza's strawberry cheesecake over.

Makarov was standing crying in the centre of the brawl. The guild was only just finished and it was about to be destroyed again.

"Yeah we're home!"

And cut! now its time for Q&A!

1) Will Erza get to meet Naruto's parents? Sorry but no. Reason because Erza is alive while Minato and Kushina are dead.

2) Why add Natsu in with the fight against Jellal? It followed the storyline except the end. I wanted Naruto to steel the glory lol. It won't happen all of the time but as I said before its hard thinking of the ending to fights for this as I have two main all-star shounen characters.

3) What will happen with Simon? You'll find out in part three.

4) Favourite abridged series? Hellsing Ultimate. That's right I'm going to fuck the fear turkey! Follow me TheCrimsonFucker. Fucking love it!

That's all for this chapter. I hoped you've all enjoyed it. Till next time!
