When he arrived he found that the two hooded figures had dropped there hoods. He seen the female figure was Lucy Heartfilia. She seemed to be a lot old than her current image. But the real difference was in his son.
His hair was longer and was slightly longer than his father's but his blond hair now had a hint of red on the tips. His face was badly scared as there was one deep scar over his right eye where his old eye seemed to have been replaced by a sharingan. He wasn't as tall as Naruto but he knew he would still be growing as Naruto guessed he was still a teenager. Naruto then spoke up to his son. "Tell me Minato. How'd you get a sharingan?"
"It was a gift from my old sensei Obito. He gave it to me as his dying wish... This gift has come to save my life many times in the past."
"Wait... In the past? does that mean.." Naruto was then cut off my Minato.
"Yes... I'm from the future. Eight year your time."
Naruto: The Fairy Tail Shadow: Part 3: Chapter 33: The Dragon King Festival Part 5: The calm before the storm.
The night before the final day of the Grand Magic Games and Naruto was sitting alone. The rest of the guild were in full on party mode but Naruto's absence was a bit of a worry for Erza, Laxus and Makarov.
"I hope Naruto is alright. He hasn't been himself for the last two days." A concerned Erza spoke about her future husband.
"I understand your worry Erza but if it something Naruto doesn't want to speak to us about I'm sure he'll tell us in time." Makarov tried to hide his own worries in his voice but he trusted his grandson enough.
Laxus however sniffed the air around and noticed that Naruto was on his way. "He's here." The door to the pub opened up as Naruto walked in.
"Everyone except the team and both masters leave and go back to the team hotel." Naruto spoke with a serious look on his face.
"What!?" Cana shouted out in drunken anger.
"What's wrong?" Lucy McGarden asked Naruto.
"I need you to look after Minato for the night. Most likely we'll be pulling an all nighter with our talk." Naruto asked Lucy for a favor.
"Something is about to come up right now and it involves tomorrow's events. It's sort of a team meeting."
"Then it's fine if we stay." Cana stated as she took another swing at her drink. But a moment later she found she was sitting on the ground outside. "DID YOU TELEPORT ME OUTSIDE!" Cana shouted at Naruto.
"Everyone please leave I have something I need to speak to the team about." No one questioned Naruto this time as only Master Mavis, Master Makarov, Laxus and Erza remained in the pub. Even the bar staff left after seeing the serious look in Naruto's eyes.
"What's the meaning of this Naruto. You better have a good explanation." Makarov demanded an answer from his grandson.
"Lucy's been taken by the knights of the royal army. Natsu, Grey and the others should be here soon." Naruto calmly answered his grandfather.
"What!?" Makarov asked in an angered state. "How dare they take one of my children!"
"Relax Gramps she's fine. I can sense her safe and sound within the royal palace. The other will fill the rest of us in." Naruto tired to clam his grandfather down and almost succeeded until Grey bursted through thefront doors of the pub.
"Gramps we have a problem!" grey shouted in a panicked tone. Gajeel, Wendy and the cats followed as they carried a knocked out Natsu.
"We know most of the story. Fill everyone in while I deal with this idiot." Naruto stated as he grabbed Natsu and tied his to a pillar.
As Naruto finished Grey begun to explain what happened. Between meeting the ghost of an Ancient Dragon and the celestial wizards involvement with the eclipse project it all seemed far fetched.
"So in other words, we can only get Lucy back if we win the grand magic games huh?" Laxus asked.
"Of course we're not even sure if we can trust there word." Grey stated.
"WHO CARES ABOUT THAT! I'M GOING TO SAVE HER NOW!" Natsu shouted out from his tied down position.
"Please calm down Natsu." Wendy softly spoke to Natsu.
Naruto on the other hand just punched the top of fire dragon slayer's head. "Shut up ya idiot. You're talking about fighting the King of Fiore not a dark guild."
"Master?" Erza asked Makarov.
"We cannot act rashly, since we're against the King... On the other hand, they can't treat a citizen roughly. They're probably using her as a hostage until the Eclipse project is blocked."
"I have a plan..." Naruto spoke out.
"What are you thinking?" Erza asked.
"It would be suspicious if we all didn't show up tomorrow so pulling out of the games is out of the question. But we can use that to our advantage."
"What do you mean?" Laxus asked with a confused look.
'History must continue to flow the same way even with our presence here. The events in history must not change.' The words of his future son Minato echo'd thorough Naruto's head.
"Listen everyone here is part of the games with the exception of Wendy and Grey. I say we break in during the games and free Lucy. If Natsu wishes to go save Lucy then we'll simply swap him in Team Fairy Tail with Grey." Naruto explained to the group.
"THEN WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR LET'S GO!" In his rage Natsu broke from the ropes that held him down on the post and tried to dash towards the pub's door.
Makarov stopped Natsu from getting close however by extending the size of his fist and slamming Natsu into the ground. "Cool down. It's a good plan Naruto but I feel that sending two dragon slayers might not be enough. I can't go as it would definitely raise suspicion. since you came up with the plan who else do you think we should send?"
(The next morning)
AT LAST IT HERE! The last day of the Grand Magic games in finally upon us. No matter whether you're happy or sad, today the winning guild will be decided! Today's reporter will be me Chapati and the commentator will be Yajima, ex member of the Magic council."
"Hello."
"And the special guest Mato! the official mascot of the Grand Magic Games himself!"
"Pumpkin!"
"Are you ready ready to be a referee today?
"Not today there's going to be no need for me to referee any matches but best of luck to all pumpkins out there!"
"And now it's time for the teams to enter. In last place with a total of 6pts it's TWILIGHT ORGE!" The crowd gave off a near quiet cheer as they entered the arena.
"In seventh place with a total of 13pts it's BLUE PEGASUS!" The crowd was louder as they entered but it was mostly women's cheers as the Trimens of Blue Pegasus posed.
"And in sixth place with a total of 30pts it's QUATTRO CEBERUS!" The crowd cheered but so much as only those who deemed themselves to be mainly men. Elfman soon received a quick slap to his ribs all thanks to his younger sister Lisanna.
"Entering today in fifth place with a total of 35pts it's MERMAID HEEL!" The males in the crowd were now in full swing as they divas of the all female guild walked into the arena.
"Up in fourth place with a total of 54pts it's HIDDEN BEASTS!" The crowd cheered wildly for the team from Konoha as Obito watched on from the crowd.
"Coming in at third with a total of 61pts it's LAMIA SCALE!" Lead out by Jura the wizard saint the crowd cheered louder than before.
"And starting today in second place it's the regaining champions! With 72pts it's SABERTOOTH!" The crowd's noise was at it's highest so far as the champions walked out into the arena.
"And in first place. The best guild Fiore had to offer sevens ago. They're here to take back there crown with a starting total on the final day with 88pts it's FAIRY TAIL!" The crowd cheered wildly at the start but they soon became silent when they noticed something different with the Fairy Tail team. Natsu was missing and Grey Fullbuster had taken his place in the starting line up.
"It appears they have changed their members! How come Natsu, who was so skilled in the tag battle, isn't here?"
"Maybe something happened?" Yajima could only guess as the crowd started to talk amongst themselves due to the no show from the fire dragon slayer in Fairy Tail's team.
However the crowd as ignored by Team Fairy Tail as they huddled together. "We ready?" Laxus asked the group.
"As I will ever be." Erza proudly stated.
"With no Salamander to slow me down i'm going all out!" Gajeel grinned with excitement.
"I'll take Rufus out first." A focused Grey stated.
"Then let's start our war on two fronts!" Naruto stated as he activated Kurama's chakra around his body. Engulfing his body with orange flames he showed his intention right from the start.
And Cut!
Short chapter I know but it's the first one in over two months so it'll be getting longer from here on in. But i do have some news for you lovely readers of mine. Recently someone was in contact with me over doing a reading story for The Fairy Tail Shadow. I gave my blessing and I'm looking forward to it coming out and I hope you are?
On the manga front the landscape really has changed since I last posted and holy shit is it giving me a headache trying to figure stuff out. but hey I've got a few thing sorted to it should all be excellent!
Anyway it's been two months so let's get answering your questions with a little Q&A!
1) What can Naruto do that makes everyone, save for Erza, so afraid? You know that smile Sakura had when Sai called her ugly... Yeah that. Laxus by the way is fucking terrified of that smile. It only brings pain.
2) Natsu vs Issei who would win? The Red Dragon of Highschool DxD or the Fire Dragon Slayer of Fairy Tail... I have to go with Natsu on this one I mean it's a slayer versus a dragon. That alone will give him an advantage and Natsu has shown he does get stronger the more powerful his opponent is and don't forget one thing! He has the power of NAKAMA!
3) Will Minato to suffer the same fate at future Lucy? I can't say that you're asking for major spoilers.
4) When is Naruto and Erza gonna get married? Roughly after the Grand Magic Games Arc but before Tartaros! I'm actually looking forwards to it the most as it's got some kick ass OSTs. [Plays Silver's theme!]
5) Do you have an anime Waifu? No... I have a girlfriend... Who is into anime and cosplays. IT'S FAR BETTER! [Plays D-Generation X Theme]
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!
