Part 2: Chapter 18: Welcome Home
(Flashback)
Year X782
"Lucy take Lisanna and leave. Elfman's out of control. I'll stay." A badly hurt Mira pleaded with Lucy.
"No, I'll never forgive myself if that happens." Lucy refused to leave. "Wait where's Lisanna?" Lucy noticed Lisanna was missing. Both girls then noticed Lisanna standing in front of Elfman. Elfman had taken over the body of the beast they were to beat in the job request but the beast proved too powerful for Elfman to handle and he lost control over it.
"Hey big brother. It's me Lisanna. Let's go home." Lisanna opened her arms in an attempt to stop Elfman.
"No Lisanna!" Mira cried for her little sister. Lucy took action and ran towards Lisanna. But her actions weren't enough. The beast that stood in Elfman's place raised his arm and swatted Lucy and Lisanna away. Mira watched in horror. Lisanna and Lucy slammed into a nearby mountain. Mira rushed towards both as fast as she could. Lucy's head was cut quite badly and both mages were lying motionless.
"Lisanna... Lisanna!"
"Mira... Is Lucy ok?"
"I don't know Lisanna."
"I'm sorry big sis." Lucy and Lisanna's bodies soon began to glow.
"No... No.. Don't go... Don't leave Lisanna." Mira cried as she held onto Lisanna's body tightly. Lucy's body began to raise into the air. Soon both mages disappeared.
"LUCY!... LISANNA!"
(Two years later)
It was rainy day in Magnolia. Naruto was inside the Fairy Tail by the front entrance. He turned to find Levy walking towards him. "You don't have to do this for me Naruto."
"I do Levy. Your like a little sister to me. And beside. I made a promise." Levy knew the promise that Naruto kept. "It's time." Naruto opened an umbrella. As he done The entire guild was caught in a bright white light. When the light faded it was almost as if nothing had happened.
"Naruto? What was that?"
"I don't know Levy... But I feel fine. As if nothing changed." Naruto couldn't feel any major changes with his body and nothing outside the guild changed much either.
"It must be nothing then. Lets go." They both left the guild making their way towards the graveyard by the city's Kardia Cathedral. They didn't speak much on their journey there. The rain continue'd to pour down heavily.
"Mira and Elfman must've went on ahead. Last year We al when together. It's hard to believe it's been two years." Levy decided to try and make some small talk with Naruto. Naruto didn't answer back. He knew today was a tough day for the three of them and didn't know what the right words were to say. As they got to the graveyards they seen a few more people around Mira and Elfman. As they got closer it was Natsu's team.
"No... It can't be!" Naruto seen who Mira and Elfman were holding tightly.
"What is it Naruto?"
"It's... It's." Naruto didn't get to finish what he was saying as a familiar voice spoke to them both.
(Shukumei OST)
"Hello Levy... Naruto." Almost scared to turn around both mages turned to find Lucy, Levy's mother with tears streaming down her face looking at them. Naruto started to shake. He could swear he was seeing a ghost. Levy was almost forgetting how to breathe.
"Mom.." Levy slowly started to move towards her mother before running in a full blown sprint. "Mom!" Levy jumped into her mother's arms her tears also streaming down her face. Naruto looked on at the scene in front of him.
"I'm home my little Levy."
Naruto soon felt a hand touch his shoulder. He seen Erza was standing beside him. "She's the real thing. We were just a shocked as well. I'll explain everything latter. Right now I think you have to talk to someone." Naruto nodded as he walked towards Lucy.
"Naruto. Ohh I've missed you both!" Lucy and Levy walked towards Naruto.
"No... You can't be real. This can't be some sick joke. Please don't let this be some sick joke." Naruto was scared. He didn't know what to think.
"Naruto Yury Dreyar." Naruto knew the moment Lucy called him by his full name that this was no dream and that this, this was real. Lucy was the only person who ever called him by that name.
"Yes, yes ma'am." Naruto eyes began to swell as he held back his tears. "I've tried to keep the promise I made Lucy. But..."
"Naruto. I know you'd do anything for me and Levy. You're like a son to me and a brother to Levy." Lucy hugged Naruto tightly. "Thank you for looking after my little girl while I was away Naruto. I know sometimes you weren't there for her at all times but, you can never be everywhere at the same time. Even if you have all those clones." On hearing Lucy's words Naruto finally gave in and burst into tears as he hugged Lucy back just a tight as she hugged him.
"Welcome home Lucy."
(Later in Naruto's home)
Everyone went back to Naruto as he had the biggest home and had several spare rooms. They all felt that both Lisanna and Lucy would need a nights rest before they returned to the guild tomorrow. All three of the Strauss' and Levy also stayed the night. All of them were currently sleeping in the spare rooms Naruto had. Erza who was the head girl in Fairy Hills understood but before she left she had to explain everything to Naruto along with Lucy.
"So you went to some place called Edolas?" Naruto was beginning to think that Erza fell on her head.
"Yes, I know this all might seem strange Naruto but we were all there." Lucy backed up what Erza was saying to Naruto.
"There were many differences between them. It turns out Mystogan was in fact Jellel just not Erathland's Jellal but Edolas'." Erza continue'd with her story.
"That make a bit of sense I guess. Maybe that's how he knew about that Anima thing he talked about to me." Naruto was almost understanding what they were saying. "But I still don't get how both Lisanna and Lucy were ok after basically teleported to another world."
"When we both arrived in Edolas I was badly hurt. Me and Lisanna both guessed that their version of ourselves both passed away. I was out cold when we first arrived and so Lisanna the poor thing had to carry me around. When I woke everyone thought I was their Lucy McGarden. The Levy in Edolas was so different to my Levy. Even though she was not my daughter I couldn't help but feel anything other than to act like a mother to her. But what surprised me most Naruto was. There was an Edolas version of you as well."
"What?! Hold on. I thought that Earthland an Edolas were the opposite of each universe. How can there be an Edolas version of me I'm not from this world."
"That's what I thought too when I first meet him as well. Truth is Naruto he really is nothing like you at all. His name was Menma. He was much darker than what you are Naruto and he too was able to use chakra. My guess was since your world is linked to Earthland in a way maybe the Edolas version of your world is linked to Edolas." Erza explained this to Naruto.
"But that's not all you shared with him now is it Miss Erza." Lucy nudged Erza who's reply was a bright blush on her face.
"What do you mean?" Naruto was confused as to what Lucy meant.
"You can still be so dense at time Naruto. I saying is they were a couple as weeeell."
"Wait how'd you know?"
"Oh come on now. I knew right off the bat. What you think I don't know Erza here didn't like you? So tell me who confessed first? I want to know everything!" Lucy gave both mages a bright warm smile as she leaned forwards eager to know.
"It was Naruto."
"Ohhh so you made the first move! I'm so proud! Tell me more."
Naruto and Erza then told Lucy everything. Lucy was shocked to hear some parts and got angry at Naruto when he told her that he tried to sacrifice himself. Even though she knew that was the type of person Naruto is.
"Well Naruto let me say this..." Naruto was preparing himself for the mother of all talk downs. "Hurry up and give me a grandkid!"
(Lucy and the power of the Celestial Spirits OST)
"WHAT!" Both mages covered their mouths after they shouted at the same time.
"How'd you know we already did it?"
"Shut the fuck up! She wasn't supposed to know that you idiot!" Erza whacked Naruto across the back of his head.
"I'm sorry." Naruto started to cry anime tears as he rubbed his head.
"RE-QUIP: BLACK WING ARMOUR!" Naruto was now really starting to panic. He quickly got up and ran towards the door and bolted out of his own home. "Get back here!" Erza chased after Naruto. "I swear I could die." Lucy couldn't help but laugh at the reaction from both mages.
"They really do make a great couple."
And cut! Right so I'm leave it here. As i said the next arc will be the final one of Part 2 and its of course The S class trial again. A few Q&A for this chapter so here we go!
1) Does Naruto know? Yes Naruto knows... That the bird is the word. (I'm guessing that's what you meant)
2) Why put the Mage Art in front of any new attack Naruto uses? I use mage art as the attack itself is a mixture of both magic and chakra.
3) Who do you think would win in a fight. Goku (non super) or Naruto (Full Kurama)? Though one. Goku has enough power to destroy the earth but I would think Naruto would as well. but I'd go with Naruto. But if Goku went Super then hands down Goku.
4) If I was paid to write a anime/novel crossover fan fic what one would I choose? I would find this really hard. I have the utmost respect for anyone who tries to write something like this. In all honesty I don't think I'd be able to do it but if I had to choose I'd say. Naruto + James Bond. With Minato as 007 himself.
5) Favourite Naruto/Fairy Tail character? My personal favourite Naruto character is Shikamaru. Reason I think he is a bad ass when it comes to fighting and the Hidan fight both Manga and Anime were epic. For Fairy Tail I'm going to go with Cobra. I know not many people would think of Cobra but I just think he is the best. His powers are so cool as well.
Ok so that's all for this chapter. I hoped you've all enojoy'd the 40th chapter. Here's to 40 more lol. Till next time!
