From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank you all so very much for reading this story of mine. So with out any more a delay here is a new 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.
"Anyway let's make the result official." Mato then spoke to the crowd. "Naruto of Fairy Tail team A has destroyed all monsters. As the referee I hereby award his team 10 pts!" The crowd cheered as Mato raised Naruto's arm into the air.
Naruto: The Fairy Tail Shadow: Part 3: Chapter 13: The Grand Magic Games Arc Part 8: MPF
Location: Domus Flau Arena.
The crowd cheered away as Naruto held his hands high in the air. Makarov watched the smile in both of his grandchildren's faces. "Just like any Fairy Tail wizard ha ha ha! I really hope they won't charge us for that tower's destruction." The smile quickly left Makarov's face as he feared a huge bill being sent to him.
"Come on Master I'm sure it's covered by the organizers have expected some damage to be caused during these games." Lucy McGarden tried to console the Sixth Master.
Having slightly cheered up Makarov looked around and seen Minato's face "Your father's something else isn't he?" Makarov asked Minato.
"That was so cool! When he blocked that attack dad was all like pow! Pow! Pow!" Minato then did his best to copy the moves his father just used in the first event. Makarov watched him laughing as Minato started to punch the air.
"No no no! He was more like this! Pow! Pow! Pow!" The inner child inside Makarov quickly too over as he started to do the same as Minato, the rest of the guild simply watched the pair in laughter.
While in the Fairy Tail team box Erza was holding herself back from also jumping up and down in excitement.
"Oh man. I'm never pissing Naruto off again..." Gray thought to himself out loud.
"Honestly I found it stupid that you and Natsu even thought about it half the time. I knew he was strong but now he's on a whole new level." Lucy commented on Gray thoughts before adding her own.
"Oh man I bet those flames really taste good! I wonder if they'll give me that kind of power!" Natsu spoke with a dribble of drool hanging from his lips.
"So what now? With the Tower's destroyed what's gonna happen to the rest of the wizards for this event?" Guy asked the rest of the remaining mages wondering who would get the points for the first event.
"I have no idea. I don't even think the organizers thought that the Tower would've been beaten so quickly, let alone destroyed." Ren spoke with a concerned tone in his voice.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen I have just gotten word that the organizers have found a replacement for the ranking of the remaining wizards. It's a little banal but we've prepared a simple game." As Chapati spoke Mato entered the arena with a strange device.
"This is a Magic Power Finder or MPF for short. When this device is struck with magical power, that power is represented numerically. Those numerical values will be used to establish the rankings. I'll show you how to works kapo." Mato then turned and fired a blast of magical energy to the orb of the MFP from the staff he was currently holding.
The MPF then showed a power of 50. "As you can see my power is showing as 50. So who ever scores the higher number the higher rank they'll finish. We'll continue with the order that was determined previously kapo."
"First up is Nullpudding of Raven Tail!"
Nullpudding walked forward towards the MPF. "NEEDLE BLAST!" Nullpudding inflated his arm with needles as he punched the MPF. The score was then registered with 293. The crowd were sure if they should cheer or not. They seen it was a higher score than Mato's demonstration but they didn't know if it was that much better.
"Well the crowd really don't know what to make of that one. Could you shine a light on the subject Yajima?"
"It was a high score. If I remember correctly the Rune Knight use the MPF for training. But as for ranking i'm really not that sure of that myself. I only remember Naruto nearly destroyed one without registering a score." The crowd were stunned with this information having just watched Naruto destroy one hundred monsters with ease.
"Next up it's going to be Beth of Mermaid Heel!"
Beth of Mermaid heel then stepped up to the MPF. "CARROT MISSILE!" A barrage of giant carrots shot up from the ground and directly hit the MPF. The score registered with 168.
"So with Beth's attack now giving us a comparison to Nullpudding it seems that the the mage from Raven Tail is in the lead! Now we have Ren of Blue Pegasus!"
Already standing in front of the MPF Ren attacked."AERIAL BULLET!" A concentrated blast of air hit the orb. A score of 289. Ren grit his teeth in frustration.
"Ohh that was close but it Ren just barely missed out. This still leaves Nullpudding in a slender lead for Raven Tail. Next in line is Guy of Quatro Cerberus!"
Next up in the order was Guy. "TAKE OVER: LIGHTING! SHOCKWAVE!" With a swift punch Guy struck the MPF with a score of 618. Seeing the high score the crowd when wild for the Quatro Cerberus mage. "YEAH IN THE LEAD! WILD!"
"FOUR!" The whole of his guild responded to Guy 'war cry'.
"Amazing! Guy has more than doubled the score of Nullpudding! Quatro Cerberus are now in the lead! Next up is Laxus of Fairy Tail B!"
Laxus then walked forward. "I'll show you real lightning magic. LIGHTNING DRAGON'S JAW!" Holding his fists together Laxus slammed downwards onto the MPF. The score totaled at 6139. The crowd went into overdrive as they seen Laxus' score.
"I don't believe it! Once more a Fairy Tail wizard has shocked us all! What a score! That ten times the previous score of Guy! Will Hidden Beasts the first ranked team be able to match that with Boar!"
It was now Boars turn. He slowly waved several hand signs.
"He's... He's using chakra!?" Naruto who had just rejoined the rest of his team in their box was stunned as he watched Boar.
"If he's using chakra then that means.." Makarov was also in shock.
"WATER STYLE: WATER DRAGON BULLET!" A large dragon appeared from Boar's mouth and through the mask and directly attacked the orb of the MPF with a high pressured flow of water.
"Did he say dragon!" All of the dragon slayer's thought that it was another Dragon slayer's attack but they soon soon when the attack stopped that there was no score showing.
"How?" Chapati was in shock as was the rest of the crowd. Naruto simply watched the mage of the Hidden Beast closely as he walked away not showing any signs of disappointment.
"That confirms it then. They're from my own world. If they're after me then they're linked to Madara." Naruto gritted his teeth but something to him didn't feel right.
"You said Madara. Is he here?" Erza asked Naruto with great concern.
"No. In the Nine Tail Chakra form I could sense dark intent. The only one's I felt dark intent from was Raven Tail." Naruto answered Erza with concern in his voice. But he lied he sensed one more dark intent but it wasn't Madara. He had come into contact with this person before.
"Well that means now that Hidden Beast will finish joint last with 0pts for their team. They'll join Twilight Orge at the bottom of the table but up next is the reigning champs and Rufus of Sabertooth!"
Rufus had a smug look on his face as he walked toward the MPF. "MEMORY MAKE: TRUE HEAVENLY BODY MAGIC: SEMA!" Having copied Naruto's attack on the S Class monsters a giant meteor fell and crashed into the MPF. The score then showed of 3692. Naruto and Jellal both looked at the score and inwardly laughed to themselves but only Naruto showed a smile as Jellal face was cover under the disguise of Mystogan.
"What an amazing score but it seems Naruto is smiling with score. Do you think he's proud Rufus has copied his attack Yajima?"
"I'd say he probably is." Yajima lied. He mostly likely guessed Naruto was laughing at how weak that attack was compared to his own.
"And our last contestant is none other than the Ten wizard Saint Jura of Lamia Scale!"
Jura walked to Mato and lowered his head to ask a question. "Is it alright if I go all out?"
Mato looked at Jura with a confused look. "Sure knock yourself out." Mato spoke with a nervous tone as he answered Jura's question.
Standing infront of the MPF Jura placed his hand together and focused his magic. "RUMBLING MT. FUJI!" An immense release of magic surged from blow the MPF and wreaked havoc to the ground above. When the ground finally stopped shaking the score showed a massive 8544.
"Unreal! And with that Jura finishes in second place for this event! Let's check the score board to confirm the results of the first event!"
The score board then flashed on the lacrima screens revealing.
1st - Fairy Tail A - 10pts
2nd - Lamia Scale - 8pts
3rd - Fairy Tail B - 6pts
4th - Sabertooth - 4pts
5th - Quatro Cerberus - 3pts
6th - Raven Tail - 2pts
7th - Blue Pegasus - 1pts
8th - Mermaid Heel - 0pts
9th - Hidden Beasts - 0pts
10th - Twilight Ogre - 0pts
"With the first event now finished it's time to move on to the battle round here on the first day. We've already had an eventful day so far so let's hope these matches will live up to today's standards. They should be on the screens now!"
Tibo (Twilight Orge) vs Ichiya (Blue Pegasus)
Baachus (Quatro Cerberus) vs Milianna (Mermaid Heel)
Gray (Fairy Tail A) vs Gajeel (Fairy Tail B)
Sherria (Lamia Scale) vs Flare (Raven Tail)
Orga (Sabertooth) vs Tiger (Hidden Beasts)
"We'll be taking a quick break but when we're back the first match will be under way!"
And Cut! Well that's the first event finished. Next up is Battle round and four of these fights are the ones that you voted for so I hope I'll be able to do these some justice. So like every chapter here is this week's Q&A!
1) How was Naruto capable of using a tailed beast bomb while in chakra mode as it's stated in Cannon you have to be fully linked with the tailed beast in order to perform it? The attack itself wasn't a tailed best bomb but a smaller version. Also in this story i've given Naruto a lot more chakra control so this would've allowed him with the correct control to create a much smaller version of the attack. If Naruto was fully linked with Kurama then the attack would've blown up the stadium considering the attack could level a mountain.
2) Why state you changed the chapter several time? I built up this chapter for a few weeks and I really didn't want it to disappoint anyone let alone myself. I did have several different endings. One was close to the original (Erza's Version) the other was Naruto using magic only near the end fearing he used to much of the Nine Tails Chakra and so on, but reading each chapter over and over again I really did feel the chapter posted was by far the best the read.
3) Why have the Nine Tails state he wouldn't take any of Naruto's chakra? Kurama is really proud of his power and knowing that so many people will have watched Naruto use his power you can say his pride would make him sit back and watch. I felt it's something the Kurama in the original might do as well.
So that's all for this week's chapter folks. Once again if you have any questions do feel free to ask away. Thank you for reading this chapter. Till next time!
