Time skip 3 years, Naruto and Cysiro are laughing like madmen having turned the guardian tower into a clownfish that Naruto then put clown makeup on.
They are also being chased through Falconreach by every nonmagic guardian, so mostly new pledges and older guardians with injuries that make using magic harder.
This wasn't even their biggest prank -flask back 1 year ago.
Naruto was messing with something. When Warleck woke up, he found out Naruto made some magic item with Cysiro and overloaded it. Warleck, concerned, went to check it out and was shocked when it exploded, knocking him out. The resulting blast gender-swapped the whole planet for a month while Warleck now Warlica fixed the whole mess end flashback- Warleck is now standing in front of the guardian... fish? As Warleck was trying not to cry his bangs cover his eyes. As the trouble-making duo ran by, he whips out his staff and calls out the spell Mystic Binding Chains. Iridescent blue chains made of magic energy restrain both Naruto and Cysiro, Warleck then teleports them to their home, demanding to know how to fix the tower. "Don't worry, uncle Warleck. It's going to change back in a week." Naruto said, "Ok, are your studies going well?" The mage asked, "Yep, soon I'm going to be ready to head to the center." Naruto said proudly. Cysiro, as if realizing something, slapped his forehead in an overly animated fashion and ran to his workshop. He came back with a chest plate that looked like it had a gear motif, pants that went to a ninja set, a black armored glove with gold accents and red claws, along with a katana and a sable hat that had the good old mad magic smiths touch.
"So I made this stuff for you for when Warleck thinks you're ready. So roomy, is the kiddo ready?" Warleck nodded "I'd say so, he's worked very hard over the years, and to his credit he still wants to go back." As the group head to a room, Naruto suits up using his new clawed gauntlet to tear open a portal in space "Bye guys, I'll come to visit, I promise." Naruto jumps through the portal and lands in a desert. Seeing a large city in the distance he heads that way.
Arriving at the city gates, Naruto is surely an odd sight.
His boots are mechanical and engineered in a way that they flex in the appropriate places, a large mechanized gauntlet covers his right arm, his left arm is adorned an elegant bracer with a single faintly glowing crimson jewel, a black metal glove with red talon-like claws and gold trim is worn on his left hand. He wears a chest plate with a clockwork design and a waist-length gray scarf, a sable hat with strange devices attached to it, seeming for
communication, and a visor for an unknown purpose. Naruto was certainly an odd duck to the guards, but they see his weapon and pay him no mind believing him to be an outlander.
As he entered the city, his eyes were drawn to the large building across the street that was abuzz with activity and
Merriment. As Naruto goes inside, he asks the lady at the front desk about work. "Aint cha a bit young ta be a venturer lad? Well not my business, the names Momodi by tha way, the quicksand is my place, I runit, welcome to Ul'da. Where ya folks, by the way?" Seeing Naruto's face drop Momodi realizes what's going on "Oh, I see, gone in tha calamity, so ya venturin ta provide for yaself." the tiny woman who's no bigger than Naruto appears deep in thought. "RIGHT THEN!" She shouts, " I can't give you anything dangerous, just small jobs, though I can also give ya a room and food, 'right." And thus Naruto becomes a fixture in the quicksand for the next 2 years. He meets lots of adventurers and different races but one he looks up to and learns from is Marry Nightmare's, a Miqo'te woman well known for feats of daring and heroism. She comes and goes from the Quicksand, teaching Naruto things while she's there, like how to use his Katana and how to fight like a Gunbreaker.
He also studies at the thaumaturge guild and takes up many crafting professions one day. Naruto is on his way back to the quicksand from black brush station when he is attacked. He uses his hat to notify Momodi that he might not make it home tonight as he ducks into a canyon, his pursuers deadset on killing him. Naruto's clawed hand tears open a portal, and as he opens it, an arrow hits him and knocks him through. With no path and no shard selected, he falls into the nothing
Laughs insanely, yes cliffhanger, I'm sure your like "Engine NO" Engine YES! Anyway, this is a multi-crossover. Don't stop reading if you cant doesn't know the franchise Marry Nightmare's in my FF14 player character. It was a fun self insert without it being invasive to the story. This is going up the same day as the prologue, so I may or may not update this
In the following weeks
As I want to write more for my other stuff
Also for fans of ff14, I tried to stay on point for Momodi's accent and hope I did well and spelled her name right
