Enjoy the chapter
Walking back into the guild Naruto released a frustrated sigh. It was like this every single time he went on a mission with Natsu. He was just glad that listened to him on this mission "So how'd it go?" Mira asked as he sat down in his custom made chair.
"As well as you can expect when you have Natsu go on a mission with you." Naruto replied to her.
"Oh that bad huh?" she asked.
He gave a shrug "Well it could have been worse. He wanted to just barge in through the person we were supposed to take an item from and destroy everything. Not that I would let it happen." Naruto told her.
Mira nodded her head "That's Natsu for you. But at least you were there to control him." Mira said with a chuckle.
He gave her a smile and says "That is true, seeing as only a select few people can control that hot head." Naruto told her.
Mira sighed at this, "Last I checked you were just as big a hothead as he was, so you have no room to talk." she told him with a sly look on her face.
"Oh like you have any room to speak at least we matured, and last I checked I'm only a hot head when angered." said Naruto as he grabbed a barrel of sake on the table and he starts to drink it. He can't get drunk at all, it was sad really. But it did make for fun drinking games though.
It was then Loke then ran into the guild breathing hard. "I-it's Erza she's back everyone. Erza's back." Loke said. Immediately everyone started to make the guild nice and clean while Natsu and Gray wrapped an arm around the other's shoulder.
Lucy walked over to him with a confused look on her face. "What's suddenly gotten into everyone?" she asked confused by this.
Naruto looked to her "Oh this, it's normal. Erza Scarlet our beloved Titania and Queen of the Fairies is quite strict and acts as an enforcer when the Master is gone. What you're seeing is quite tame to the several times I've seen her go berserk when someone *Cough* Mira *Cough* destroyed her beloved cheesecake." Naruto told her.
"Not like you're any different when it comes to your ramen noodles." Mira muttered.
He glared at her playfully "Oi I'm not that bad." Naruto said as Mira giggled.
"Oh don't say that. We all know you are twice as bad as Erza is when someone spills your ramen." Mira said.
"Wait this I gotta hear. What does he do when his Ramen is spilled?" Lucy asked.
"I remember this one time a couple months ago that Wakaba spilled it during one of the brawls and he got so mad he unleashed one of his quake's. It practically destroyed the entire guildhall." Mira laughed.
"Mira don't you dare speak anymore." Naruto said.
Lucy gawked, "Was it really that bad?" she asked with wide eyes. Talk about obsessed.
Mira giggled, "Oh yeah." she said still giggling.
Naruto's eye twitched in annoyance, "Really Mira do you want me to tell Lucy what you do if it was your favorite food?" asked Naruto making Mira freeze in shock.
She turned to face him so fast Lucy feared her neck would break, "You wouldn't dare?" she asked him shocked.
Naruto smirked, "Try me." he told her.
Mira then just bows her head in defeat and Naruto starts drinking again while he chuckled into his barrel of booze. Round one goes to Naruto Uzumaki.
Suddenly the sound of loud footsteps gain the guilds attention. Lucy is shaking as she sees a large shadow appear in the doorway. It is soon revealed to be a lovely redhead wearing what appeared to be knightly armor while she carried a monster horn on her shoulder. Setting it down with a thump she speaks in a melodic voice, "I have returned." where she looks around with a calculating gaze.
Lucy pointed to the redhead, "That's Erza? That's the person that is putting everyone into a fearful frenzy?" she asked Naruto who nodded his head as he drunk some more alcohol.
He swallows his booze and set's his drink down as he looks to his fellow blonde and says, "Yes that's her alright. Erza Scarlet, Titania of Fairy tail. She's what is called a S-class mage, and she is considered one of the strongest women in fairy tail." he told Lucy.
Erza is looking around and is not happy with her guildmates, "I have heard rumors of you all causing trouble for the Master while I was away." she says before she narrowed her eyes, "The master may not care about what happens but I DO!" she said as she pointed at a man sitting at a table. "Nab pick a job and get to work." she said before she then looked at another man. "Wakaba stop smoking it's bad for your health." she told a man with a cigar in his mouth. "Cana don't drink so much it'll cause problems later on." she told a brunette sitting at a group of barrels before she turned to Elfman. "Elfman not everything has to be manly so don't say man after every sentence." she told Elfman before she turned again.
She then looked at Macao "Please say something. Your silence hurts more than your words." Macao said to her.
"Welcome back from Mt. Hakobe." was all she said before she turned to Natsu and Gray who both had one arm wrapped around the other's shoulder and holding hands as if they were going to shake. "Are the two of you behaving yourselves?" she asked them. The two nodded their heads quickly to her.
"Yes mam we've been good." the two said together.
"Wait why are they acting all buddy buddy?" Lucy asked as she saw a frightened Natsu and Gray acting like the best of friends.
Mira giggled, "Erza put the fear of the devil into them when they were younger. She scares them so they act like this whenever she's around." she told Lucy.
Lucy looked at Mira in shock, "Really, that's amazing." she said.
"Oh that's nothing. Seriously it's not." the silver haired woman said.
"Hey Erza how's it going?" Gray asked the redhead, "There's nothing going on here with me and Natsu, just us being the best of buds. Isn't that right buddy?" he asked Natsu with a strained smile on his face.
"That's right amigo, nothing is wrong here, whatsoever." he said.
"See, everything is fine and dandy, right pal?" he asked Natsu.
"Aye sir." he said in agreement.
"Why is Natsu talking like Happy?" Lucy asked, "It's really weird." she said.
Erza sighed at them, "While I commend you for trying, remember that even the best of friends butt head's like rams every now and then." she said as she turned and saw Naruto sitting in his seat, "Oh hey Naruto, good to see you." Erza said to him.
"Same to you Erza." Naruto replied as he guzzled on more alcohol.
Erza looked at the blonde celestial wizard "You must be new to the guild welcome to the family." Erza said.
"Well I just joined a week ago so yeah I don't know anything about this place except for what I've read in the Sorcerer's Weekly." Lucy replied.
"Yeah a lot of that is the trouble that we have made. But this is an old guild so it is expected." said Erza
"Thanks." Lucy said. Erza then looks at Naruto and Kurama who had a weapon's catalogue in his hand, "I heard something on my way back when I defeated the monster who's horn I brought back. I need your help on something." Erza told the two of them. This caused people to start whispering about how the fabled Titania of Fairy Tail needed help.
"And why would you need my help Erza?" Naruto asked.
"I was in a pub getting a drink so I could relax a little when I overheard two men speaking about an ancient artifact known as Lullaby." Erza said.
"Lullaby as in one of the demons of the Book of Zeref, that Lullaby?" Naruto asked her and she nodded yes.
"Yes that is the one." Erza said.
"And you need my help because..." Naruto said trailing off.
"Because I need you in a team to track down the ones who stole it. Unless you want the Master to be killed by the damned thing." she said making him look at her.
"Alright I'm in, but we're going to need more people to come along besides me and Kurama." Naruto told her.
Erza nodded at him. "Thanks Naruto." she told him getting a nod from him.
Naruto then stands up before taking a few steps away from his seat "Gray get your stripping ass over here now. Same with you Natsu your flame retardant ass over here now!" Naruto yelled out.
Slowly Gray and Natsu walked over to them before he stood in front of them. "Yeah Naruto." they said to the blond while looking up at him.
"You're both coming on a job with me and Erza tomorrow and there are no excuses as to why you won't be able to come with us. Now Lucy will come too so we can get her a little extra cash as I kinda owe her for the last job we went on together. Along with some more experience." Naruto told him. Lucy just looks at him in shock but nods a couple of times to show she understands him. Naruto walks back over to Erza and sits down.
Erza looked at Naruto with a raised eyebrow "So why is she coming with us? You hardly let anyone besides Natsu, Happy, Gray, Elfman or me out on missions with you. I know Kurama is going regardless as he is your best friend like Happy is for Natsu, but this is new." Erza said.
Naruto looks at her "Like i said before, Lucy will come so we can get her a bit of extra cash as I owe her quite a bit for the last job we went on together. She also needs the experience." Naruto told her simply and she nods. Mira was mumbling about the new team and how it could be one of the strongest since the founding of Fairy Tail.
"Alright we got a team now we just need to prevent the people that want to kill the guild masters from reaching their goal." Erza said in a better mood than before.
The next morning the newly formed team had arrived at the train station with the sole exception of Erza. "Oh I'm so going to regret this later aren't I?" Naruto asked Lucy who could only shrug as she never worked with any of them besides Naruto and Natsu before.
The train slowly pulled in while Erza came walking up to them. Lucy gawked at the sheer amount of luggage she brought causing Naruto and Kurama to chuckle at her reaction. "Are we all ready to go?" Erza asked. Gray along with Natsu begun acting like buddies and head onto the train. The others nodded yes to the redhead showing that they were ready to leave. Before they boarded Naruto tapped Erza on her shoulder getting her to turn around.
"Yes Naruto what is it?" she asked.
"After this I want to see if we can how far you have come. So how bout when we get back we have a friendly spar in which afterwards Natsu will challenge you then I say something to distract him and you lay him out. You know, for shit's and giggle's." Naruto told her while she nodded to him.
"Alright I'll think about it. Now let's go." Erza said as she boarded the train.
When they had started to move Naruto turned a bit paler But Natsu was worse and he looked like he was ready to lose his breakfast. Lucy looked at Naruto and sighed "You know I kinda feel sorry for you Naruto." Lucy told him but he just waved it off with a weak motion with his hand.
"It's alright this isn't as bad as it would be for other dragon slayers. In fact I have it easier than they do in more ways than one." Naruto told her.
"Well then allow me-" Erza started to say but Naruto shook his head no.
"I know what you're about to do Erza and I won't fall for it like Natsu did." Naruto told the redhead who has a knocked out Natsu lying his head on her shoulder.
Lucy looked confused. "What do you mean?" she askedhim.
"Oh usually when Naruto or Natsu travels with her, Erza knocks them out. Well Naruto quickly learned to say no to her unlike Natsu since that flame brain still falls for it." Gray explained to her as he tried to hold back his laughter.
"So Erza tell us why someone wants to kill the old man and the other guild masters." Naruto said looking at the redhead.
"Alright here is what I overheard as I was coming back. The dark guild Eisenwald has stolen the ancient item called Lullaby from the vault of the magic council. I believe it was a man named Erigor the Reaper that killed all the guards before he stole the evil thing from its place of containment." Erza told them.
"Lullaby. What's Lullaby? Is it like a song used to put kids to sleep?" Lucy asked.
Naruto shook his head, "Your wrong. It's not a tune that you would want to put children to sleep with at night. It's a dark and ancient magic. Legend has it that Lullaby was created by the Dark Wizard Zeref four centuries ago. It has the ability to use a ancient type of death magic called The Death Song." Naruto told her as she nodded in understanding.
"That means we need to find these Eisenwald flunkies and stop them before they can reach the guild master's meeting and use Lullaby on them." Gray said while Erza nodded.
"Yes it also means if things turn for the worse we will need to be prepared." she said as he nodded.
Lucy then gained a curious look "If you don't mind me asking you this then may I know what kind of Magic do you guy's possess? I know Naruto and Natsu possess Dragon Slayer Magic but aside from them I know nothing about you." Lucy told them.
Gray rubbed his chin with a hum and then looked at her, "Well I guess it wouldn't hurt for you to know that." he told her.
"Yeah I guess that since we are working as a team we should know our teammates abilities." Erza agreed.
"I have the ability to use Ice-Make Magic." Gray said.
Lucy was shocked.
Erza cleared her throat gaining the blondes attention. "My magic is known as one of the easiest, but one of the most useful ones called Requip Magic. It allows for me to store many useful items and other assortments of things in a pocket dimension for safe keeping so that I can use it later on." the redhead told the female blonde.
"I uh I'm a Celestial Spirit mage." Lucy simply said to them.
"You know in my personal opinion I think that Gray's magic is much more flexible than mine." Erza said as th said man grinned.
"Oh so you mean something like this?" he asked as he made the symbol for Fairy Tail out of ice in his hand.
"Yes that is exactly what I mean." Erza says with a humored voice to the Ice Wizard.
"You know, I think I understand why you and Natsu have never gotten along since I joined the guild. I mean now that I think about it with you being ice and Natsu being fire it was simply saying that you and him used opposing elements that made me understand why." Lucy said as he nodded.
"Yeah and unlike Natsu, me and Naruto get along just fine. I mean why wouldn't we, i know he don't use ice but he has helped me create some devastating attacks if I ever needed them." he told the buxom blond.
"So Naruto can you please tell me how many elements you can use?" she asked.
"Fine if you'll just shut up and quit asking me." Naruto said to her. "Everyone in Fairy Tail knows that me and Natsu were raised by dragons. What they don't know is that my father Bahamut is an Ancient being who remembers how to use a forgotten power called Tremor. More specifically he is more ancient than Acnologia the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse by nearly 1000 years. He has the ability to use the five basic elements of nature due to him having lived so long. He can combine these elements to create a sub-element as I like to call them, although he never taught all of them to me besides my Earth Dragon Slayer Magic as well as my Tremor which empower's it." Naruto told her as she nodded her head.
"What sub-elements can he use?" she asked him.
"Well he can use pretty much all of them if he wants to. He can also use Lava, Iron, Scorch as I like to call it, Steam, Explosive which is good for certain battles, Storm which allows him to manipulate the weather. And last but not least is the tremor and the elemental combination in cosmic." Naruto told her.
"What elements does he use to make these -exactly?" Lucy asked him.
"Well for Ice he would combine Water or Sea Magic with Wind or Sky. For Lava it takes a combination of Fire and Earth Magic to make something like actual lava. For Scorch it takes a combination of Fire and Wind or Sky Magic to use. For Iron it takes a combination of uh... huh I don't remember if it took a combination or not but I'll think about it later." he said as he rubbed his chin.
"Now for Explosion Magic, which by the way I hardly ever saw him use as it was dangerous, uses a combination of Earth and Lightning Magic. Steam Magic is made through the combination of Fire and Water or Sea Magic hence the name Steam. And next is Storm. Storm uses the combination of Water or Sea Magic and Lightning Magic so that he can use it." Naruto told her.
"And what about Cosmic? What combination does it use?" she asked him as he scratched the back of his head.
"Cosmic? What do you mean?" he asked her.
"Back at the guild you called out, "Meteor fist" so what does it use?" she asked him.
Naruto laughed, "I don't use Cosmic Dragon Slayer Magic, that was a technique I was taught, it's nothing but Magic Empowered punch." he told her.
When the train stopped in Onibus Station they got off, after Naruto woke up Natsu by an elbow to the head, the train which soon departed to head to the guild master's meeting. "You think that these Eisenwald fellows are still here?" Gray asked Erza.
She shrugged at him showing she didn't know. "Don't know, but then again the only way we can know is if we go looking to find out." she told him.
"Hey uh guys I think we have forgotten someone." Gray said.
Naruto looked around to see who could have been left behind and saw that Kurama wasn't there with them. "OH MY GOD WE LEFT KURAMA BEHIND!" he exclaimed as he turned around and started to chase after the train..
Erza and the others quickly caught up and stopped the train where Naruto quickly re-boarded and found a napping Kurama in the seat he had fallen asleep in. He also saw a weird and creepy looking skull flute with three eyes stop rolling beside his feet. "Huh? What is this?" he asked nobody in particular.
"That would be my flute." a voice said from behind him.
"Oh uh yeah sorry it's just I've never seen one with such a design before." Naruto said seriously as he then began holding it up to look at it better.
"It's a magical flute dumbass." the man commented.
"And what kind of magic does it play, I suppose with a visage like this it can't be too good." Naruto said.
"It plays a song called Melody of Death." the man said.
"How much you want for it?" he asked setting off alarms in the guys head.
"Careful bub I'm with the Eisenwald guild and we don't take kindly to things of ours being taken." he said.
"Oh so I was right in thinking that this was Lullaby?" Naruto asked mockingly. "You know I too am from a guild. It just so happens to one of if not the most powerful guild called Fairy Tail. You know I think it would be best if I destroyed this demonic thing so it doesn't hurt anyone." Naruto said.
"You better not you Fairy scum." the man said angrily.
He then heard the loudspeaker announce that the emergency stop was a false alarm and they would continue in a moment.
"Oh crud. Well I'll see you later." Naruto said placing the flute to his forehead and giving a mock salute before he jumped out of the window with both Kurama and the demonic flute in hand as the train began to move forward once again and was soon out of sight.
Kurama woke up groggily. "Ugh where are we? Did we arrive at Onibus yet?" he asked.
"Buddy we're way past Onibus by his point. You know I was curious as to why it was so quiet on the train and I guess we accidentally forgot you." Naruto said to the cat.
"What! How could you forget the one person-"Cat" Naruto stated-that's been there with you for everything?" he asked.
"I'm sorry but the good news is we have Lullaby in our possession now." Naruto said as the rest of the group walks up.
"So you managed to find him that's good news." Erza said as Naruto walked up to her.
"That's not all. I obtained Lullaby from one of the Eisenwald flunkies as well. We need to make sure it stays out of their hands so could you put this in your requip dimension thing?" he asked the surprised redhead.
She nods and with a small glow it disappears from sight. "We managed to get a magic vehicle so we could catch up with you." Erza told him.
"And by that I am guessing you mean stole it." he said as she nodded. "Good that means we just need to outpace them and reach the guild master's before they do and people get hurt or worse they get killed by some idiots." he said as he climbed up on the machine and attached the SE plug to his arm.
"What are you doing I was the one who was driving." Erza said.
"We need to preserve our energy as much as possible. With me having the largest amount of magic it is best if I were to drive." he replied.
"What about your motion sickness?" she asked him as he gave a look.
"Do we really need to do this NOW?!" he said to her.
Complying with the now frustrated blonde she got in the vehicle with the others and Naruto started to drive to the guild master's meeting quickly.
After driving for nearly a hour Naruto looked through the window with a worried expression on his face, "It's Eisenwald. They've taken a train and are now ahead of us. The guy I stole Lullaby from is also dead." he said.
"What!" they all exclaimed as they climbed out of the vehicle. When they got out of the vehicle they did see that the man was indeed very dead. "This is bad. Eisenwald are probably now way ahead which means we need to move and we need to move now." Naruto said as they rushed back to the vehicle and quickly left with Erza driving once again.
Meanwhile with Makarov
Makarov was sitting at a table with Master Bob of the Blue Pegasus guild and Master Goldmine of the Quatro Cerberus guild drinking a beer. "You know Makky I'm a bit jealous of you. I mean who wouldn't be when you have the one people call the the man closest to The Will of Earth or Son of Bahamut the TRUE king of dragons and the strongest man. And I also heard that one of your members also gave someone a rude awakening as well." Bob says to Makarov with dramatic hand motions.
Makarov only hears him talk about Lucy. "Oh you must be talking about my newest recruit Lucy. Yeah she did and she's also got a body that most women would kill for." Makarov says.
Master Goldmine sighs at this "You know Master Makarov you shouldn't talk about one of your member's like that." he says.
"You know Makky I think that your wizards may get a bit to spirited one day and destroy an entire city." Bob says.
Master Goldmine nods in agreement "I agree with Master Bob, Makarov. Even the council is afraid that it'll happen one day." he says.
Makarov then hears the magic bird calling his name causing him to turn around. When he holds out his hand the bird drops a letter in his hand. "Ah a letter wonder who it's from." Makarov says as he opens the seal. In a flash of light a silhouette of Mira appears.
"Oh hello master it's good to see you've arrived at the meeting safely." the silhouette says.
The men crowd around to get a better look. "See boy's this little cutie is our poster girl Mirajane. Grab some looks while you still can." Makarov says.
Mira's letter soon continues where Mira left off. "Oh Master I have such great news for you.-Really-Naruto, Erza, Gray, Natsu and Lucy along with Kurama have formed a team together." Mira says as she shocks Makarov.
"What an amazing combination isn't it?" Mira asked him. Makarov could actually feel his heart stop beating. "I actually think that this may be our strongest team since yours." Mira says.
Makarov soon started to shake as he started to think "Oh no we're doomed. They actually teamed up together. Who did I manage to piss off in my past life enough for something like this to happen."
"I guess the council had a good reason to be afraid after all." Master Goldmine said as Makarov collapsed onto his back.
Makarov was still thinking along the lines "I really can't believe it, those four alone could destroy a city but Naruto could destroy about three cities or a country. I better hurry up and leave so that nothing crazy happens before I return to the guild. No wait I should just leave now, but if I do then the other Masters will think I'm insane or something."
Naruto then sticks his head out and starts to yell "Erza we need to speed up, but don't overload the SE plug." at Erza.
"I know. Hang on." she yells back as she pushes more magic into the vehicle making it go faster. She suddenly stops the car making Naruto nearly hit his head. Sticking his head out of the window he saw a column of smoke rise into the air.
"Dammit we were to late and now they've done this." Naruto growled. They ran inside to see a manager telling people that a train derailed but they didn't believe it. "Ok let's sneak in and take them out. It'll be a thousand times easier than you knocking them out and then run in anyways." Naruto said as the group nodded in agreement and snuck by the man telling everyone what had 'happened'.
Naruto was in the lead with Erza and the others behind him. "Knowing that the Eisenwald guild is here shouldn't the army be here?" Lucy asked.
"I don't know but it may already be to late." Erza said.
"We can't let that slow us down. We need to focus on the people that are here setting up a pathetic attempt of an ambush behind the doors." Naruto said gaining looks of surprise from his comrades.
They soon walked through the doors where they saw the rest of the Eisenwald guild with a white haired man wielding a scythe standing before them. "I see you insects finally made it. Now I'm only going to say this once hand over the Lullaby flute to me or else I'll kill you." the man said.
"Uh huh and then you kill us either way so it's a lose-lose situation for us but a lose-win situation for you guys." Naruto said gaining the man's attention.
"And did I ask for mouth from you you stupid insect? Now I'm being nice here and here you are being rude. Now I am only going to ask you one more time. Hand it over or die." he demanded.
"Sorry but I have a question. Were you planning on telling your guilds-men that you were planning to throw them to the dogs and kill them with Lullaby and then go after the guild masters or did you leave that out of your little plan Erigor?" Naruto possibly lied as the rest of the guild now glared at Erigor.
"What did you say?" Erigor growled out.
"Oh it's just that since we're at a train station with loudspeakers which I assume if, and this is a very big if mind you, you did get your hands on Lullaby you would broadcast it over the rest of the city to kill countless people for your sick and twisted pleasure. But did you know that regardless of they heard it or not that your friends would die due to you playing the death song of Lullaby." Naruto said to the man.
"I don't care what you say. When I kill the guild-masters then I, Erigor the Reaper, will then go after the king and when he dies the world is as good as mine." he says as he leaps into the air and starts to hover shocking a couple of the Fairies, "Well then I guess it's time I put you in your place insect scum." Erigor said. "Men kill them all and bring me the Lullaby." he ordered them and then disappeared.
"Yeah I don't think so." Naruto said as he gets ready for a fight.
Naruto then turns back towards his friends. "Alright guys go after Erigor and stop him before he does something we can't stop." Naruto said.
"What about you?" Gray asked.
"I'll be fine these ants they are not much compared to me. Besides we still have Lullaby in our possession which means we hold the advantage. Erza if he manages to get hold on one of our friends bring Lullaby out and threaten to break it. If he doesn't comply with your wishes break it anyways you got it?" Naruto asked her.
Erza nods her head and motions for Natsu, Gray and Lucy to follow her. When they left only Naruto and Kurama stood in front of them.
"Alright let's make some bones break." Kurama said.
Naruto nods and takes a deep breath "BRING IT." Naruto shouts as the Eisenwald men charge him. The men stop when they see what comes out of the next ten seconds.
Naruto then expels a large amount of air pressure from swinging his Bisento towards the group of now wide eyed men with tremendous force. They bring up their defenses but due to their composition, and because a considerable number of them have been dispersed over a wide range in quick succession, he easily destroyed what defenses were put up against the attack.
When the technique ends Naruto stands in front of a pile of defenses and a scared group of men. One of them then notices who Naruto truly is. "Hey that is Naruto D. Newgate the strongest man in the world." he says as the men started to get greedy looks. They then start to hurl multiple spells of elements at him. But in a shocking move the elemental attacks gets sent away by him when he swings his bisento once again.
"What how is that even possible?" one of the flunkies asked.
"I don't get it he's supposed to be the Quake Dragon slayer." another says.
Naruto shakes his head at them. "I'm not just the Quake Dragon Slayer." Naruto says as he drew his arms to his side, "I am also a Earth Dragon Slayer. Feel my wrath "Earth Dragon's: Gigant Gauntlet". Naruto says as he clasps his hands together then outstretched his arms to summon two giant stone hands from the earth, "And now I summon "Earth Dragon's Gigant Embrace" he says as he whirls his hands in a circular motion before clasping them together tightly. The colossal stone hands are similarly clasped together and trap any unlucky enough to be caught within.
Looking over the trapped men Naruto could only smirk as they continued to cough up a lung as they tried to draw in a breath of air from being squeezed so tightly by the stone hands. Naruto shakes his head. "Honestly I am a bit disappointed in you guys. Y'all didn't even stand up against one of my weaker versions of that real technique." Naruto said looking at the group.
"And yet I find myself talking to nobody so I think I'm just going to knock out the rest of you and then be on my way." he says to nobody in particular and then walks around and knocks those still awake into the world of unconsciousness ties them up and heads after the others with Kurama right behind him. Kurama sighs which causes Naruto to look at him "What's the matter with you?" Naruto asks him.
"Oh it's just I thought that those guys would put up a better fight than they did. Guess I was proven wrong." Kurama said which made Naruto nod in agreement.
"Yeah what a disappointment." Naruto agreed.
Erza and the others had been surrounded by a cage of wind courtesy of Erigor who was now cackling like a madman which wasn't far from the truth. "Now insects I'm only going to be nice this once and let you go. But in order for that to happen I need you to hand me the Lullaby flute. Now you either hand it over to me or I will not be kind and I will have to shred you with my wind, and trust me when I say it'll be messy and nothing will be left." Erigor gloated to them.
"No. We know you're going to kill us regardless. So take our offer and shove it up your ass." Gray shouted out to Erigor causing him to growl.
"Very well then scum prepare to meet the reaper." Erigor says as he give a maniac laugh. Suddenly a fist appears and lashes out where it comes into contact with what appeared to be a invisible wall. Suddenly the air cracked where it unleashed a powerful shockwave impacted the wall of air and caused it to bulge to the side as it contained the power to destroy the world with a bit of struggle. Seeing this caused Erigo to laugh as he turned to face Naruto who held his arm out showing it was he who unleashed the powerful blast, "You can't break it like that, it's practically indestructible you fool." he said with a laugh.
Naruto growled as he drew his arm back, "Well i guess we will have to see about that." he declared as he launched a far more powerful blast at the wall of air causing it to explode in a whirlwind of air that forced everyone to cover their faces except Naruto who was watching Erigor to make sure he didn't escape.
"What the hell?" Erigor gawked as he looked around at the site, "H-how did y-you..." Erigor stuttered as Naruto walked forward.
"Beat your barrier of wind. Simple really I just crushed it. It was really easy if you think about it. Unstoppable force meets a supposedly unmovable power. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out. With the meet and greet now out of the way. Erigor the Reaper I hereby judge you guilty of a multitude of crimes that have put you on a wanted list a mile long. It is in the best interest for you that you surrender now and save yourself a couple bones." he told Naruto told him, "Unless you want to fight and i will happily oblige you." Naruto said nonchalantly.
Erigor smirked at the man, "Well show me what you can do insect." Erigor attempted to taunt him. It didn't work as Naruto just kept looking at him with the same face that was void of emotions.
"Ok then, don't say i didn't warn you. Erza I want you and the others to head to clover and deliver the flute to the Master's, and don't stop whatever you do alright. I'll catch up in a little bit ok." Naruto said still looking at Erigor.
Erza nods her head and motions for the others to follow. Naruto looks at Kurama and speaks "You better go with them bud. There is no telling how bad this could get so go after them and listen to what Erza says alright." Naruto tells the cat who nods and flies away after the redhead. Naruto then turns back to face Erigor who was now chuckling a sinister laugh at him.
"Well that was a bold move fly, but now with your backup gone there is nobody to save you from the reaper." Erigor said trying to scare him.
"Yeah save your theatrics for the real reaper they don't work on me and they won't work on the real deal so let's just skip through all the bullshit monologues where the good guy tells the bad guy they will stop them where the bad guy does his evil speech and all that good fun shit I don't care to hear from you." Naruto told Erigor.
"Saves me the trouble of telling you that you're going down anyways fly." Erigor responds to him.
"Well normally I'm a person that doesn't want to cause much damage to a building or city block, but for you I'm willing to make an exception. Now I'm ready to break some bones. Get ready Erigor cause I'm coming for you." Naruto says with a gleam that was telling of unforetold power flashing in his eyes.
"Bring it." Erigor says as he flies at Naruto.
Naruto just draws back a fist enveloping in a Quake bubble "It's just too easy." Naruto calls out as he launches the fist at Erigor. When the fist connects Erigor is sent flying through the wall where he then crashes through several more walls before he finally stops. Standing up he wipes some blood that comes out of his mouth before he licks it off his hands and chuckles. He then sees Naruto standing at the first hole that he had made with his body waiting impassively for him to come back.
Erigor draws back his scythe and starts to run at Naruto as fast as he could. Bringing the weapon up to cleave him into from top to bottom he swings the scythe while Naruto stands impassively. What happens next begins to make Erigor sweat. His scythe breaks against skin… a skin that was made out of a shiny reflective metal. "My "Earth Dragon's Heavy Metal" isn't something that you should take lightly Erigor." he told the man serious;y, "In all actuality this is me transforming my skin into pretty much Iron Scales from a iron dragon with how hard i made my skin." Naruto tells him.
Erigor jumps back to gain some distance from the ironclad human. His mind was running a million miles a minute trying to come up with a plan so he could kill the kid in front of him, but so far he was drawing a blank. He was brought out of his thoughts when Naruto calls out another spell "Earth Dragon's Rush Rock" Naruto calls out causing the earth to transform into a series of hands that bombard Erigor. Erigor flips and spins around the hands until he is struck in the stomach and is sent sliding back across the ground as his flight spell is interrupted. Jumping up Naruto raises his arm up before he brings it down with great force. The force of the swing tears the ground apart and throws the once standing Erigor back through a wall. Naruto draws his head back and inhales deeply as a image of a dragon appears behind him. It was a massive dragon (approx 180 feet (55m) long) with a tail the same length as his body, with platinum scales tougher than any shield made by man and blue eyes, the exact color of which was hard to specify and may have depended on its mood. Erigor gasps at the sight of the dragon, but Naruto pays no heed to this and calls out "Earth Dragon's: ROAR" After gathering enough magic power in his mouth, Naruto shapes it into a powerful tornado which he effectively emits and sends towards Erigor. Such tornado possesses an immense force, being capable of generating powerful explosions and inflicting heavy blunt damage, but also releases sharp shards of rock in the process, and almost shred's Erigor's body apart.
Erigor barely managed to dodge the lethal attack before he growls. First this insect stands up to him and steals the Lullaby flute from him, and now he nearly killed him with only three moves. And to add insult to the wounds he hadn't landed a single strike on him not counting the ones the insect allowed him to. He then covers his hand in his wind magic and calls out "Magic Wind Palm" and sends out a large, powerful vortex which possesses enough strength to destroy the area it targets, but still much to his anger his target just swipes it away with his metal covered hand again.
"You're making this to easy for me man, and I've given you plenty of chances to cut me down. What's the matter you can't handle the pressure?" Naruto taunts Erigor making him mad.
"I'll show you why I'm called the reaper. Now DIE "Storm Bringer" Erigor calls out. Erigor performs several gestures with his left hand's fingers, and then moves his open hand towards the blonde dragon slayer. A powerful tornado is generated, which spins and strikes the Naruto, who still stands impassively, as it tries cutting him with wind blades.
Naruto just yawns before he raises a wall of earth that easily blocked the attack before he lowered it like he was about to talk about the weather, much to Erigor's rage. "Seriously... I think that I may have been overestimating you. Guess we all have our disappointments to live with." Naruto told him. "If i wanted to fight a child i would have asked Natsu to fight me, you on the other hand don't even compare to him." he told Erigor, "Oh well, we all can't have what we want." Naruto tells him before he draws back his head again.
"EARTH DRAGONS ROAR" Naruto calls out as he spits out a vortex of earth straight at Erigor, who was still standing with a still intact wall behind him, and since it was so widespread he couldn't dodge it. When it connected with him he could actually feel the strength of the attack, before it suddenly stopped.
"What you thought I was going to make your end nice and quick. Oh no buddy boy. for all your sick thoughts and cruel things you have done I'm going to give you a righteous punishment. I know that when I die I won't be spared a punishment by the reaper for killing, but I think for you he'll make an exception. Now let's give that pretty head of yours a few new mark's eh?" Naruto said letting the Iron skin disappear from his body.
"Now then, let's begin." Naruto says breathing heavily, not used to using other spells outside his element, and with that a beating he had never experienced begun.
The minute Naruto finishes he breathes a bit heavier, but he is fine with what is done. He sighs as he looks down at the beaten Erigor, "You know I think I like you better like this Erigor. I think I'll just leave you here for the army to come get since you're so nice to have evaded capture for the past six years. But remember if we ever cross paths again I'll actually go through with my promise unlike today." Naruto tells him before he grabs the back of Erigor's head and slams a knee to his face and breaks his nose in the process as he is knocked unconscious.
He then sinks into the earth and senses the land around him before he shoots off for a specific spot. Speeding up a bit he shoots out of the ground and lands on the roof of the vehicle gaining Erza and the other's attention "Is it done?" Erza asked him.
Naruto nods his head, "If you must know I didn't kill him. I left him alive and since the army was on their way they'll apprehend the entire Eisenwald guild soon." Naruto tells the redhead.
"That's good to hear. I'm almost out of magic power so wanna take over while I get some of my energy back?" she asks him.
"Yeah let's just wait until we're off the tracks." Naruto told her as she nodded in agreement.
"So was the fight easy?" Erza asked.
"Not that easy but he was not that strong." Naruto told her.
"That is good to hear."she said as he nods.
When Erza stopped the magic vehicle Gray, Lucy, Natsu and Kurama climbed out of the machine and saw Naruto. Kurama almost immediately latched onto his leg and hugged it. Gray nodded his head to the blond male in a job well done. Lucy smiled at him as she waved hello to the other blond who easily returned it. "Well that ruckus over, I think it's time that we head to the guild master's meeting and hand over the Lullaby flute and head home." Naruto said as the others nodded quite easily as it had been a long day of trying to keep them safe.
Naruto then climbed into the driver's seat and attached the SE plug to his arm while Erza climbed inside to get a bit of rest. Now that Eisenwald was out of the way and the Lullaby flute was in their possession they could make their way to the meeting without any interruptions, which also meant they could travel at a steadier pace than before where they were rushing after the Eisenwald guild and try to stop them.
Upon arriving they saw the Master's leaving to head home. Naruto tapped Erza on the shoulder to get her attention. "It's time. Hand me the Lullaby and I'll take the responsibility of handing it over to the Master." Naruto said to the redhead. Nodding her head the redhead held out her hand where it glowed for a second before Lullaby appeared in her hands. Handing it over to the blond he nodded his head and walked over to the Master's. "Master Makarov. Master Makarov." Naruto called out to the old man getting his attention.
"Naruto what are you doing here?" he asked the blond.
Naruto gave a polite bow to the elderly man, "I came here to turn this magic item over to a guild Master so they could place it back into the council's custody." he answered as he handed the flute over to him.
Surprised to see the item he nodded as the rest of Naruto's team came walking over, "You did a good thing turning this over to me Naruto. I can only imagine what could have happened if this fell into the wrong hands." Makarov told him.
Bob walked up to the blond "Oh Naruto honey you're looking absolutely ravishing. How have you been since you left the guild to return home?" Bob asked the now disturbed blond.
"Uh I've been good Master Bob." he replied to him. He was a really strange man.
"You know young Jenny has been asking where you went right?" Bob asked him causing the blond to sigh.
"Yeah and when you see her next time tell her I said hi." Naruto told him sarcastically as he walked over to Goldmine. "Master Goldmine it's been awhile hasn't it?" Naruto asked as he simply nodded to the blonde.
"Yeah it has my boy. I reckon you had to get pretty wild in order to stop the person who stole the Lullaby flute to return it here." Goldmine said to the blond who nodded at him.
"I grow tired of all of this." a deep voice says out of nowhere. Naruto turns to where the voice came from and saw Makarov looking down at the flute in his hands.
"Hey don't look at me, it was the flute." he said as he dropped the now smoking instrument.
"Guy's i think we have a problem here." Naruto said as Gray nodded his head.
"Well we should prepare for it then." Gray told everyone as he removed his jacket.
"Why are you taking off your clothes?" Lucy asked him although she was ignored.
In a flash of light Lullaby stood in front of them in it's true form.
"And now I claim all your souls." Lullaby said.
"Yeah not going to happen." Naruto said as he stomped on the earth as he gave a call of "Earth Dragon's Giga Pick" where he raised his arms causing a large spire of earth made of solid diamond to rise out of the earth with him standing on it, "I'll hold it down, you guy's take it down." Naruto ordered.
"Right!" the group called back.
"Wait don't do it there,you'll destroy the meeting hall!" Makarov cried out in vain.
Naruto slammed his palm into his diamond spire, "Earth Dragons: Giga Lock" he called out. This caused the earth to rise up and take the shape of large hands where they reached out and grabbed Lullaby, "Do it now." he ordered his team.
Natsu drew a deep breath as he called upon his fire, "Fire Dragons: Roar" the rose haired teen called out.
Gray no longer had a shirt on and he drew his arm over to a palm before he gave a call of, "Ice Make: Lance" where several spears of Ice appeared and rushed at the monster.
Erza had changed into her Heaven's Wheel armor and had several swords surrounding her, "Heaven's Wheel: Scattered Petal's" she cried out as she launched a barrage of deadly weapons at the giant tree-like monster.
Lucy pulled out a golden key and gave a call of, "Open Gate of the Golden Bull: Taurus" where the pervy bull she had known her whole life appeared and gave a loud moo before he threw his ax at the weird monster of death. With that the attacks swirled together and impacted Lullaby with a powerful explosion. When the smoke died down it showed Lullaby was still alive, but was covered in a large number of holes.
The demon laughed, "That was pathetic. I may have been injured, but that was nothing." it said, "I am a demon from the book of Zeref, now… hear the Melody of Death." it said as it released what sounded like a fart.
Naruto scratched his head, "Either he sucks at magic or he's really embarrassed." he said before shrugging, "Yeah I'd embarrassed too if I couldn't get it up either bug guy." he called out to the monster. With that he summoned his magic again as he jumped off his perch, "Earth Dragons: Hard Fist" he called out as he struck the monster in the face crushing it and thus defeating the monster. Landing on the ground he swiped his hands clean and stepped out of the way as Lullaby fell.
However it didn't fall the way he wanted it to as it fell down right on top of the meeting hall and Naruto winced when he turned and saw the angry guildmaster's, "Uh. my bad." he said sheepishly.
Makarov jumped on Gray's back, "Fairy Tail, Tactical Retreat!" he screamed as he and his children ran away from the angry mob of guild master's while he laughed the whole way home. Ah it was good to be short sometimes, sure as hell beat the tall people as he got free looks up the girl's skirts-er back door-uh that came out wrong too… ok let's just say it let him perv on the girl's when they wore short skirts like Erza, who knew the redhead was a thong lover.
