Well it's only a few hours early but I did finished this chapter sooner than i thought so here's this week's chapter of Fairy Tail Shadow! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima. Anything written is purely my own thoughts.
"Rest assured he and the two females are safe. They are currently in the nearest hospital. They should be fine soon. As for who I am... You can call me Owl. I am the leader of the Hidden Beasts guild. I look forward to meeting you again... Naruto."
"Wait how'd you know my name?" Naruto shouted out the hooded figure but by the time he had finished speaking the man had disappeared. After a few moments the group had calmed down after there shock and confusion. "Let's go." The group then quickly left for the nearest hospital.
Naruto: The Fairy Tail Shadow: Part 3: Chapter 8: The Grand Magic Games Arc Part 3: New Teams
Location: Domus Flau Arena.
After Naruto and the others found Minato, Levy and her mother Lucy in the local Hospital Naruto took them to the Domus Flau Arena's medical room. Since the Team had just finished qualifying for the games they soon arrived. All of them were showing extreme sign of exhaustion.
"Have they woken up yet?" Lucy Heartfilia asked.
"No, they're showing no signs of external wounds either." Carla answered.
Naruto slammed his fist on the wall inside the room. "Dammit!"
"It's ok Naruto, none of this is your fault. It's no one's fault." Erza tried to console Naruto.
"I know. But if I ever find out who did this... I'll end them." As everyone looks at his back, Naruto's hair and voice was showing signs he was slowly using the Nine Tail's chakra in his angered state.
"I know." Erza hugged Naruto from behind. In doing so she managed to calm her fiancée down.
"N... Naruto?" Lucy McGarden softly cried out. Everyone rushed over towards her.
"I'm here." Naruto responded to Lucy.
"Is Minato and Levy ok? This thing came... Out of nowhere... It attacked Minato and then Levy... I tried to run away with them but... I can't remember." Lucy struggled to talk from the exhaustion.
"They're all doing great Lucy, thank you." Erza reassured Lucy just before she fell back asleep once more.
Then Makarov and Porlyusica entered the room. "So they are already here then." Makarov commented on team Fairy Tail already inside the arena.
Porlyusica then checked up on the condition of the trio. "They are all suffering from Magic Power Deficiency. If they rest here for the night they should be fine by morning."
Erza and Naruto both sighed from relief as well as the rest of the group. Makarov then soon turned his attention to other matters concerning the Magic Games. "Naruto. Are you going to be taking part in the first day's events?"
"I don't know gramps. I don't feel it's my call to make. Elfman took my cover place and I think it would be unfair to take that away from him." Naruto answered Makarov.
"Naruto... I want to thank you for this but I can't. I wasn't selected even as a back up and only helped out because I happened to be in the right place at the right time. I think you should go. After all. We will need our strongest out there at all times right haha." Elfman laughed after he had thanked Naruto.
"Thanks Elfman. And who knows there are seven days with events. You might just get an event yourself. You are our back up mage now as well don't forget." Naruto smiled as he fist pumped Elfman.
"I'm glad you're all acting fine but these three need their rest." Porlyusica then pushed everyone except Naruto and Erza out of the room. She had only allowed them to stay to watch over the trio and stay by their sides as they recovered. Both soon fell asleep beside Minato's bed.
(Next morning)
Naruto and Erza were both awakened by Minato. Their son seemed fresh and did not show any signs of even knowing what had happened the night before. Both were glad of this as they did not want this to mentally scar their son.
When Porlyusica and Makarov arrived she seen that the trio were fit enough to leave. Makarov took Minato and the others with him as Erza and Naruto went to prepare for the start of the games opening ceremony.
While they were all getting ready team Fairy Tail could hear the loud roars of excitement from the over one hundred thousand strong crowd in the Domus Flau Arena.
"It sounds like an army out there!" Lucy Heartfilia spoke as she shook with nerves.
"They couldn't be all mages. I'd say most of them are normal civilians." Gray seemed nervous as well.
"I don't like these clothes gramps gave us." Natsu spoke with a groaning tone as he complained.
"I agree with you. Purple is not my colour. At least I'm still able to wear my normal flak jacket." Naruto agreed with Natsu but didn't really car as thankfully it was only his coat he was forced to change to purple. It was more or less a match for his Fairy Tail Shadow clock with the colour change of white to purple and his red flames were now black. The writing on the back was not white as well.
"Well like it or not the master said we should all be in matching team colours." Lucy then gave off to Natsu's complaining.
"Well I like it. Really skin tight." Gray said in a pleasing tone.
"That cause you aren't wearing it. Nor underwear for that matter." Naruto commented then on Gray's appearance. But they soon did not have much time. As they heard an announcement for all teams be be prepared to enter the arena in order of rank from the preliminaries.
"The time has finally come, This year! The annual festival of magic! THE GRAND MAGIC GAAAAAAAAMES! I'm you host, Chapati Lola. And beside me as our commentator is former council member Yajima. It's a please to have you here Yajima sir." The crowd roared as Chapati officially started the games.
"Thank you the please is mine."
"And for one day our special guest commentator is none other than Miss Fiore herself, from Blue Pegasus, Jenny Realight!"
"Go team Blue Pegasus!" Jenny shouted to the crowd as they cheered.
"The teams are about to enter the field."
"Yes thank you. I'll have a coffee."
"Yajima your microphone is still on." Chapati quickly told Yajima as the crowd was filed with laughter.
(S Class Promotion OST)
"First off we have the team that finished in Tenth place. Please give it up for TWILIGHT ORGE!" The crowd cheered as Twilight entered the field. "This years team consists of Tibo, Marco, Samus, Jello and Mattan!"
"We're next... Ready?" Erza asked her team mates. Each member except Naruto replied.
"Alright then, Team Fairy Tail let's go!" Naruto shouted for Team Fairy Tail to enter.
"Coming in at ninth place we have a guild so seven years ago were the top dog in Fiore. Please give it up for FAIRY TAIL!" The mood of the crowd quickly changed as they began to boo the members of team Fair Tail as they entered. "This years team consists of Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Erza and Naruto!" The crowd boo'd louder as each name was called out.
"What the hell man!?" Natsu shouted with a stunned face. The rest of the team were left speechless.
"Even though they've gotten last every single year, Fairy Tail have managed to finish inside the top ten." Chapati tried his best to calm the crowd as Yajima too was left stunned from the crowd's response to Fairy Tail. Jenny on the other hand was too busy waving to her fans in the crowd. "With the return of the Tenrou team can they turn things around and once more become top in Fiore?!"
"Well I'm glad to see you all safe and sound once more. Congratulations kids!" Yajima gave a thumbs up to Fairy Tail and he aimed it directly to Naruto and Erza.
"Well at least that's one supporter haha." Lucy nervously laughed.
"HOORAY! HOORAY! FAIRY TAIL!" The team looked over and seen most of the guild members cheering them on from the stands.
"Ehh... You see that?" Gray asked his team.
"Hooray, go Fairy Tail!" They soon found a little small girl cheering them on as well.
"Master Mavis!" Makarov was utterly stunned as were the rest of the guild.
"Hey big sis!" Minato greeted Mavis. "Are you here to cheer us on?"
"Why yes." Mavis answered Minato.
"You came to cheer us on? But you..." Makarov was still stunned by the first master sudden appearance.
"Don't worry only those wearing the guild crest can see me. That and Tenrou Island is really boring." The rest of the guild white'd out with Mavis' answer.
(White Dragon and Shadow Dragon OST)
"Next up in eighth place. The hounds of Hell's Army, QUATRO CERBERUS!" The crowd once more changed mood as roared as the new team entered. "This years team consists of Guy, Jager, Semmes, Rocker and Bacchus!"
"Hey Naruto!" Guy shouted towards the Fairy Tail members.
"Good to see you guy!" Naruto then fist bumped Guy as they greeted each other.
"Coming in seventh place we have an all female guild. Give it up for the dancers of the deep blue sea. MERMAID HEEL!" All of the men inside the stadium had their eyes replaced by love hearts as they entered. "This years team consists of Millianna, Beth, Risley, Arana and Kagura!"
"Millianna?" Erza was shocked to hear that name.
"ERZIE!" Millianna ran and hugged Erza tightly. "It's great to see you again."
"In sixth place is the azure wings that sparkle in the darkness, BLUE PEGASUS!" The women in the crowd then swoo'd over the charming looks of the members of Blue Pegasus. With the exception of Ichiya of course. "This years team consists of Ichiya, Eve, Ren, Hibiki and... A blue bunny?"
"In fifth place, the goddess of love and war's sacred destroyers, LAMIA SCALE!" The crowd were left stunned when they seen Jura enter the field. "This years team consists of Lyon, Yuka, Toby, Sherria and Jura of the ten wizards saints!"
"I'm hoping in this tournament we might get a chance for our rematch. Naruto-dono." Jura smiled at Naruto.
"You and me both." Naruto gave a smile in response.
"Don't forget Gray. If we win, Juvia joins our guild." Lyon was quick to taunt Gray.
"If you can remember I never made that bet. And besides your not going to be winning this anyway." Gray gave Lyon a cheecky grin as he responded.
"If that is the case I'l have Erza. Sniff sniff." Ichiya quickly started to sniff Erza.
"Quit it." Erza shouted in a disgusted tone.
Ichiya then felt a tight grip on his shoulder. When he turned around he saw Naruto. He could swear that there was a dark aura surrounding Naruto as he coldly smile at him. "I'm sorry Ichiya. I missed what you said there. Who are you taking?" Ichiya was speechless as the aura surrounding Naruto utterly terrified him.
"Nothing." Ichiya then moved backwards away from Erza. Erza couldn't believe her eyes and she had to blink several times before she realized what had happened.
"Hey boss If they win can I join this guild!" Hibiki happily pointed towards Mermaid Heal.
"You're not even close to their theme!" Toby shouted towards Hibiki.
(Seven Kins of Purgatory OST)
"Moving on, Coming in fourth place we have a shock. In there first appearance please welcome the midnight raiders. RAVEN TAIL!" The crowd were left stunned not knowing if they had to cheer or not. "There first team for the games consist of Nullpudding, Flare, Obra, Kurohebi and Alexei!"
From the stands a loud voice was heard shouting out. "HOW COULD THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES ALLOW A DARK GUILD TO TAKE PART IN THE EVENT! WELL?!" Everyone turned to see Makarov shouting at the commentators box. He had to be held back by most of the Fairy Tail members watching in the stands.
"Well according to our official information, Raven Tail has been around for seven years but only recently have become an official guild."
"The paper work checks out, Raven Tail are allowed to take part in this years event." Yajima had no choice but to back up Chapati's words.
"Fairy Tail." The team looked to find the mage Alexei speaking. "The boy and women were out way of saying hello." When Alexei finished speaking the small creature on top of Obra turned his face into Minato's and pretended to collapse.
Naruto and Erza both seen this. Erza was quickly held back by Natsu and Gray but Naruto moved to quickly to be held back. Naruto charged towards Raven Tail. "RASEN!" Naruto's attack was cut short as Jura had to jump in to hold Naruto's arm and body back to stop his rasengan from crashing into Alexei at full power.
"What's going on here! It seems Naruto of Fairy Tail is trying to attack Raven Tail!" Chapati commented on Naruto's attack.
"Well the guild masters of both guilds are father and son." Yajima informed the crowd of the guild's past.
"Stop Naruto-dono. I don't know what he said but I'm sure you will get another chance in the games." Jura's words just managed to calm Naruto down.
"Enjoy the festival." Alexei have felt he had done enough to taunt Fairy Tail turned away from them.
"With both teams calmed down let's continue with the team announcements!"
(Sannin no Dragon Slayer OST)
"Well this leaves on down to our last three teams. Taking the bronze position. I don't believe it!... This one is quite a shock! It's FAIRY TAIL TEAM B!" Everyone in the whole stadium was utterly stunned as the team enter surrounded in lightning. "Fairy Tail second team consists of Juvia, Gajeel, Mystogan, Mira and Laxus!"
"What... What is Mystogan doing here?"
"Please tell me you're not..." Erza face was ghost white as Jellal shh'd her.
"Really. I thought you'd be watching the games not taking part in it. Dammit. You're making things complicated." Naruto rubbed the back of his head while he gave Jellal a look that showed he was annoyed.
From the crowd a lot of them were asking why one guild had two team competing. "Well it seems as though there's a lot of people still confused over the new rules for this year games. Don't you think Yajima?"
"That's right. This year each guild can have not one but two teams enter into the tournament."
"I guess that explains the high number of teams taking part I suppose." Naruto thought out loud to himself.
"But that doesn't seem very fair. Lets say in an event each team sends out one member for a battle royale. Then there is nothing to stop the two members of Fairy Tail in teaming up once in the ring right?" Jenny pointed out what most people in the crowd were thinking.
"I don't think it'll happen that way."
"What makes you think that Yajima?" Chapati asked with a confused look.
"Look at the teams themselves."
"DON'T GIVE ME THAT CRAP! I'M SERIOUS HERE!" The crowd were stunned to find Natsu shouting directly towards Team B. "I don't care if we're in the same guild or not. If we're fighting against each other I'm taking you down!"
Naruto stood beside Natsu and backed him up. "Yeah and beside bro we haven't had the chance to finish our fight yet."
Laxus could hold back a smile. "Yeah I agree."
Both Dreyars' words were quickly followed by a roar from the crowd. "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING IT NOW!" They both turned to find Makarov with veins showing on his forehead.
(Third Generation Dragon Slayer OST)
"Moving on we have an even bigger shock for you all. Please bring the house down for the team in second place. Last year's champions. SABERTOOTH!" The crowd then erupted in a huge roar as Sabertooth entered the field. The mages themselves seem to the ones who enjoyed the crowds roar the most out of the other team when they entered. "The defending champions this year consists of Orga, Rufus, Newcomer Yukino and the twin dragons Sting and Rogue!"
"I look forward to you, Natsu." Sting taunted Natsu.
"Don't wave that finger at me, you bastard." Gajeel growled at Sting.
"Gajeel." Rogue gritted his teeth as he looked at the Iron Dragon slayer.
"Now now, Play nice. You two." Naruto grabbed both shoulders of Natsu and Gajeel trying to calm them down.
"I find this ironic as we had to hold you and Erza back a few moments ago." Natsu commented on Naruto's rage towards Raven Tail.
"Finally we have come down to our final guild in this years competition. And boy this guild have broken the records. In the fastest time with an amazing thirty five seconds to finish. Please welcome the unknown guild HIDDEN BEASTS!" The crowd were going almost as crazy as when Sabertooth entered. "Not much is known over this guild even there mages themselves but they have provided code-names for each mage. The team consists of Boar, Dog, Snake, Eagle and Tiger."
The guild were the centre of attention inside the stadium. All of the guild simply stared them down but none more than both Fairy Tail teams. "Our master wishes to know if the three he found were alright?" The mage known as Snake asked Naruto.
"Yes." Naruto simply gave him a short answer.
"Good. That means you won't have any other thought during these games. We'll be watching every move you all make." Boar then informed all of the guilds.
"That makes all the teams that will be participating. I certainly am looking forward to this years games. Do you have any thoughts Yajima?"
"Ah. To be young again."
"That's not what I meant." The crowd laughed at Yajima's answer. "Moving on as we are about to announce the event line up for the is years events."
A large stone tablet then appeared from the bottom of the ground. The word written on it highlighted the events of the magic games. Beside were also the point system as well.

"Each guild will get to nominate who wishes to take part in an event. Once every member is selected the rules for that event will be explained. You cannot change once you have been selected. As for the battles it's a simple thirty minute one on one for the first four days and then three two team battles in the next two. The points for each are 10pt for a win and 5pt for a draw. The loser will receive 0pt. For the battles as well it will be down to a vote for each battle as well. So even if you took part in the event itself you can still be part of the battle after wards. Now that the rules have been explained can each team please select a member to start our first event. Pandemonim!"
"I'll start us off."
And Cut! That's... One hell of a long chapter lol. Yeah as you've most likely guessed this GMG isn't going to be going to script lol I'm going to be taking a new direction with it but don't worry. You'll still see most of the same fights and all of the same events it's just the line up will be a bit twisted. Now I might allow you to select the battles themselves so keep that in mind. Just don't go crazy with them ok lol. Anyway here is this week's Q&A!
1) Why not show Naruto's training? I will be brought up soon.
2) Why not have Naruto take part in Sky Labyrinth? Simple the plot I'm was planning never had Naruto
3) What is your favorite Dragonball moment? I'm guessing either by the question itself that its before the saiyan saga and part of the original series. If so then I'd go for the battle with Piccolo in the world martial arts tournament. That fight was epic.
So that's all for this week's chapter. As always if you have a question do feel free to leave a review or PM myself. I'm hoping it'll reach over 300 reviews soon lol. Thank you for reading this chapter. I hoped you've all enjoyed it. Till next time!
