A bit of a news update for all my readers. As some of you know this is going to be the last chapter this month as I'll be in London for the next few weeks for the Rugby world cup giving my support for the mighty Ireland lol.

Naruto: The Fairy Tail Shadow: Part 3: Chapter 20: The Grand Magic Games Arc Part 15: Sabertooth

Location: Fairy Tail Team Hotel.

While Erza recovered in bed Naruto stayed up all night by her side. For hours he fought against his will to fall asleep and just as the sun rose up he lost and fell asleep in his chair overlooking Erza. When he opened his eyes at night time later he found Erza smiling at him.

"I hope you got a good sleep?" Erza asked.

"I think I should be the one asking that question. How are you feeling now?" Naruto joked as he got up off his chair and sat beside Erza on the bed.

"A bit sluggish but I've felt worse."

"That's good to hear." Naruto then gently kissed Erza's forehead causing the red head to blush.

They soon found that they did not have much time alone as a knock was heard on the door before Minato, Lucy, Natsu and Happy walked into the room.

"Mommy!" Minato ran towards Erza and tightly hugged her. Erza returned the hug back.

"Thank goodness you awake Erza." Lucy sound relieved when she saw Erza.

"Aye sir!"

"Hey where's Gray?" Naruto asked after noticing the ice make mage was missing.

"He's still licking his wounds from yesterday's events."

"Hey Erza wanna fight!?" Happy answered Naruto's question before Natsu demanded a fight from Erza. This quickly brought a kick from Lucy directly to Natsu's crown jewels.

"Are you serious! She's still not at one hundred percent!" Lucy huffed at Natsu who was holding his manhood tightly.

"I... I know... It's the only way... I'd win..." Natsu used all of his strength to answer Lucy.

"You're still an idiot." Lucy face-palmed over Natsu's answer.

"I see this is your lover's quarrel then." Erza teased Lucy who blushed in response.

"You liiiike him!"

"Lover's quarrel! She's kicked his balls in!" Naruto cried fake tears as he consoled Natsu helping him to his feet.

Soon once more there was another knock on the door. This time it was Makarov and Yukino of Sabertooth. "It's good to see you're ok Erza." Makarov smiled with relief when he saw Erza awake but changed his attention towards Lucy. "Lucy... Yukino here wishes to speak with you."

"Why?"

"I wish to do business with you lady Lucy."

"Business? With me?"

"I think it might be best if you go with Jiji Minato. Don't worry mommy's going to be fine. I promise." Naruto gave his son a warm smile.

"I think it would be best if you sat down and talk this over. Anyway I'm off. Come on Minato we'll let mommy get some rest. Have fun kids." Makarov then took Minato as he left the room.

Having sat down in the chairs beside the coffee table in the room Yukino put down her three golden keys. "I know this is a bold request but... I want you to have these keys." This shocked everyone in the room.

"Eh? That's impossible. I can't take them."

"When I saw you on the first day, I decided that after the games had ended. I would give you these keys."

"The games games haven't ended though. We're not even half way through yet." Naruto pointed out to the celestial mage.

"My games have ended. Lady Minerva will most likely take my place. With this the strongest five that made Sabertooth the power it is will have gathered."

"So you weren't part of that team then?"

"No, I've only been in the guild for a few months. I was nothing more than a substitute for lady Minerva, who was in thee middle of a job request. And I know these celestial spirits will be happier in the hands of you lady Lucy."

"That's quite a happy request but... I mean for me.." Lucy started to stumble on her words.

"You already have ten of the twelve keys. Adding the hidden thirteenth is my extra gift to you. And with these keys in the hands of one celestial wizard. The gateway that changes the world will open."

"The gateway that changes the world?" Lucy knew she had heard these words before. But she could not remember from when.

"It's just an old legend. I don't understand it myself. But I suppose it's something only we might know. After all the number of celestial mages have dropped in the last few years. We might be the only two left in this world. That's why I want you to have all thirteen key of the Zodiac."

"I can't... Celestial spirit magic is a magic of bonds and trust... There's no way that owners can be switched quite so easily. And I can't cut the bonds between you and your spirits... No. I wouldn't want to cut them."

"I knew this was a bold request. Thank you lady Lucy. I know some day all thirteen keys will be in the hands of a single mage soon." Yukino bowed towards Lucy as she left the room.

"That was weird." Naruto was the first to speak after Yukino left.

"You're the same then as well?" Natsu asked Naruto.

"Yeah. She's nothing like the rest of them. I kind of feel bad about it now." Naruto looked disappointed in himself.

"Well why don't you both apologize then?" Erza the told Naruto.

"I can't leave you."

"I'll be fine Naruto. And beside I'll have Lucy here to keep me company now you three run along before she gets back to her team hotel."

"I'll be back soon!" Naruto waved at Erza as he left along with Natsu and Happy to run after Yukino.

"They're idiots."

"Yeah but that's why we like them so much." Erza agreed with Lucy.

(Natsu and Naruto)

Both mages had been running throught the streest of the capital looking for Yukino. They had spent nearly an hour looking for her and where about to give up when Happy noticed her walking towards the train station. "Hey! Wait!"

Natsu and Naruto ran towards Yukino while happy flew as the celestial mage looked at them confused as to why they were there.

"Yukino. I'd.. No, we'd like to apologise to you.

"Why?"

"Well both Natsu and myself had got it in our heads that you were like the rest of the members of Sabertooth and we're sorry for that."

"Yeah, you're not a bad person." Naruto's along with Natsu's honest words shocked Yukino.

"You went to all the trouble of chasing after me for that..?" Yukino softly asked.

"Hey, why are you looking so sad?" Naruto asked as he noticed Yukino as holding back tears.

Soon Yukino couldn't hold back any more and feel to her knees crying her eyes out. "Look what you done Naruto!" Natsu and Happy shouted.

"It wasn't me you idiots! Yukino... What's wrong?" Naruto shouted back but quickly ignored them to softly ask Yukino.

"I can't... I can't take it any more. No one's ever treated me like this before. I always looked up to Sabertooth. Last year, I finally got in but... I'm not allowed to go back any more." Muffled in her tears Yukino Cried out to the two mages.

"Huh?" Natsu asked with a slightly angry tone.

"I was forced to be naked in front of the guild... And I had to remove my guild mark with my own magic." Those word were the tipping point for Naruto and Natsu. "It was so bitter and humiliating... My self respect and memories of the guild were completely destroyed... And despite all of that, I don't have a place to call home now."

Yukino continue'd to cry but was stopped when she felt a hand touch her head. Lifting her head up Natsu hugged her tightly. "I don't know how things are at other guilds, but... Though it may be another guild. If you say that we're both mages, then I understand. But... A guild that would make a member of it's family cry! THAT'S NOT A GUILD AT ALL!"

"Don't leave Yukino. I still have a few contact in the magic council. I know it's not much but it's something so please. Stay for the rest of the games." Naruto reassured Yukino before running after Natsu. "I'm coming as well... I feel the same way."

"No I going alone!" Natsu growled at Naruto he couldn't hold back his anger for much longer.

Naruto looked at Natsu. He knew this was an argument not worth getting into and gave in. "Fine then. But I am going to back you up. That is not up for debate."

(Sabertooth guild's hotel)

"WHERE'S YOUR MASTER!" Natsu roared through the hotel. His voice echoing through the hallways.

"OUT OF MY WAAAAAAYYYYYY!" Natsu slammed each member of Sabertooth he cam across into the ground or the wall.

One member who avoided Natsu soon found himself being stared down by Naruto. A quick punch to his gut left him lying on the ground as Naruto slowly walked over him to catch up with Natsu.

Eventually they found themselves in front of the guild master of Sabertooth himself. "Do you have business with me brat?"

"That's him Natsu. He's there master." Naruto pointed at Jiemma before turning his attention to the rest of Sabertooth. "LISTEN UP! This fight is between Natsu and your master. Anyone who jumps in and I'll snap their necks, ya got that! I am not someone you wish to get angry. And I will not... Hold back." Naruto gave of a full blast of killing intent in the room. Most of the mages inside nearly passed out and the one left standing found themselves in a cold sweat.

"Kicked out after one loss huh? I'm all fired up... If that's the case. If you lose to me. You'll have to quit the guild too then."

"Huh! I have no time for time. Dobengal! Finish him off. And make it quick."

"Yes master!" Dobengal then ran towards Natsu but was suddenly sent flying before he even reached him.

"FLYING RAIJIN!" Naruto appeared just in front of Natsu and delivered a swift upper cut to Dobengal's jaw. This sent the mage of Sabertooth high into the air. As he feel Naruto round house kicked him into the wall. "I said no one interferes."

"Are you running away?" Natsu asked the master of Sabertooth.

(Lightning Flame Dragon Roaring OST)

"It's one hundred years too early for the common guild soldier like you to fight me. However we don't have any brats like you two here... Amusing."

With his challenge accepted Natsu ran towards the master of Sabertooth. His fist covered in flames. "FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" Jiemma blocked his attack with his forearm.

"Is that all you got! HUH!?" The master of Sbaertooth then sent a blast of his magical energy towards Natsu sending him backwards.

Fixing his footing Natsu slammed his fist into Jiemma's gut. This gave Natsu the opening he needed as he then sent a barrage of fiery fists towards the master of Sabertooth.

With each attack Jiemma was slowly moving backwards. Natsu then went for the finish. "LIGHTNING FLAME MODE!"

"What?" Sting couldn't believe his eyes at Natsu's power.

"LIGHTNING FLAME DRAGON'S IRON STRIKE!" Natsu's attack was straight and true. The impact send a blast wave throughout the entire building causing all of the windows and glasses to shatter. When the dust faded a figure stood between Natsu and Jiemma.

"Have the games festivities extended to this vicinity as well?"

"Minerva! I did not ask for your help child!"

"I thought I said no one interferes." Naruto once more gave off a killing intent this time it was directly aimed at the newcomer.

"Please allow me to explain." The new person seemed nervous suddenly. However she soon steadied herself once more. "There is such as thing as maintaining appearances after all. Putting aside that you were the ones who attacked us. If our master were to eliminate a participant in the Grand Magic Games then... That would put us in a bind as well. How about it? Will you allow me to save some face here? If so, then I can return this kitten to you. Unharmed."

"Natsuuuu."

"HAPPY!"

(Hyouhaku OST)

"I've had enough! FLYING RAIJIN!" In a flash Naruto appeared beside Minerva. A kunai pointed to her throat. "Drop the cat or I'll won't cut your throat wide open. How about that for a deal?"

Seeing the look in Naruto's eyes, Minerva knew he wasn't joking around. "So you plan to kill me then. Do you think that is a wise choice?"

"Do you see anyone here who can stop me? I've always had to hold back from using my full power but for you I'd be more than glad on making an exception!"

Minerva then slowly released Happy as he ran towards Natsu. "I'm sorry Natsu... I got caught at the entrance." Happy cried into Natsu chest knowing he was safe.

"It's ok little buddy... It's ok.."

"A wise choice you made. Let's go Natsu, Happy." Naruto then dropped the kunai and turned towards his team mates.

"To think I was overcome by fear." Minerva cursed at herself as Naruto walked away.

"Fear? You know what fear truly is? I have a demon locked inside me. A demon that could tear this world apart if it felt like it. Fear is knowing that this demon could walk in this world if I go past the tipping point in my anger. Fear is knowing that I am the difference between your friends living or dying! THAT IS FEAR!"

Everyone in the room was shocked by Naruto's outburst. "You claim to be the best in Fiore... That was once true. You took that title from us. But we're back.. And this guild is nowhere near strong enough to even come close to us. A guild that does not look after one another like a family will never be able to beat Fairy Tail." Naruto gave his final words to the shocked members of Sabertooth before vanishing away with Natsu and Happy.

(Night time. Seven days later)

(Sorrow Returns OST)

The capital of Fiore, Crocus was in ruins. Naruto was currently standing in between the chaos. He was losing a lot of blood but thankfully the chakra he was suing from the Nine Tails sealed his wounds and slowed down the bleeding. He looked around trying to find someone and he soon found Obito, Guy and Minato.

"Mommy!" Minato cried out loudly.

As Naruto got close he found Erza's lifeless body with Minato crying over the dead body of his mother.

"Naruto... I'm sorry... She's gone." Obito noticed Naruto and informed him of Erza's passing.

"Daddy!" Minato rushed towards Naruto who held his son tightly. "Daddy Why? Why did this happen?"

"I think I get it now. Yukino mentioned about when all keys of the Zodiac are together a gateway that will change the world will open."

Suddenly a large Dragon appeared in front of Naruto.

"SEVENTH GATE: GATE OF SHOCK! OPEN!" Might Guy then unleashed an almighty attack. "DAYTIME TIGER! HOWL, YOUTH!" What appeared to be a tiger directly hit the dragon. It cut the dragon wide open for Obito to follow up.

"KAMUI!" Obito then teleported the head of the dragon away from it's body leaving the headless dragon to fall to the ground.

"How many... How many have died so far?" Naruto asked Obito in a calm manner.

"From our team. Only me and Might Guy are left. My wife and son along with Kakashi and Jiraiya are all dead. And as far as Fairy Tail... Makarov, Natsu, Gajeel, Laxus, Wendy, Gray, the Strauss' and Erza. I'm not sure about the rest of the guilds."

"So Levy is alive then huh." Naruto gave a relaxed sigh before he looked at his son. "Son... I won't have much time left. I just want to thank you for allowing me to be your father and Erza to be your mother." With his tears nearly blinding him Naruto brought Minato close for a hug once more. But only to knock his son out cold with a punch to his gut.

Naruto pulled up his son's shirt and placed his right arm on his son's belly. "Look after my son Kuruma." Naruto then sent the Nine Tail into his son's body and stood up.

"Naruto... What have you done. Extracting the Nine Tails will kill you!" Obito shouted at Naruto in anger over his recklessness.

"I'm going to die anyway. The internal bleeding as too much for Kuruma to handle, he did leave me some of his chakra so I won't die straight away though. And besides. If I die and my son dies shortly after then what I'm about to do next will be for nothing." Naruto then gave Minato over to Obito.

"What... What are you doing?"

"Look after my son Obito. And thank you for everything."

"WAIT, NARUTOOOO!"

"REVOLVING FLYING RAIJIN!" Obtio and Minato then disappeared leaving only the kun ai that Levy held in their place.

"You've sent them away haven't you?"

(Emergence of Talents OST)

"No father wants his son to dies early. I.. Just hope he..." Naruto was cut short as nearly three hundred dragon's appeared around both him and Might Guy.

"Why are the surrounding us?"

"It because charka along with dragon slaying magic can kill dragons. We're their biggest threat to survival."

"I seee. Then would you allow me to be beside you in our last stand?"

"It would be my please bushy brows... AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The ground around both Naruto and Might Guy began to shake violently.

"EIGHTH GATE: GATE OF DEATH! OPEN!" A dark red glow began to surround Might Guy after he punctured a hole in his heart.

"MAGE MODE!" Naruto's forearms and the shin's of his legs became black as night and the slowly gave off a clear golden glow. However his eyes and face were completely changed. His eyes no longer had pupils or any sign of an iris. What was left was a bright golden glow the covered the whole of both eyes. The skin around his eyes became black as night as well and extended all the ways to his ears. His whisker marks became thick marks as well as he entered mage mode.

"I guess I'll be seeing you soon Erza... LET'S GO!"

And Cut! Well there you have it folks. Now I know this is a bit early for this part of the story line and that would be true if you followed the cannon storyline but this is my story lol. I have t shake things up a bit lol. Anyway here is this week and last two chapter's Q&A!

1) What do you plan for the alternative timeline? Well this is the first stage. It will be extended upon at a later date. More likely it will be a one off chapter between the end of the GMG and the start of the Dragon King Festival Arc.

2) Why go to the world cup? Do you even play Rugby? I go to support my country lol and no, but i used to play when I was a kid. I play american football now.

3) Why have the Might Guy's extra as Eyebrows? Simple for me Might Guy will always be known as Bushier brows sensei. And since Rock Lee isn't going to be in this fan fic that's why I had Naruto only call him bushy brows.

So that's all for this chapter folks. Like always if you have a question do feel free to post a review or PM myself. If I don't answer your question on next chapter's Q&A I will try to reply via PM. Thank you for reading this chapter. I hope you've all enjoyed it. Till next time!
