Hello all, it's been awhile. Probably a little too long as I think about the last time I posted an update. Unfortunately I've decided to go ahead and stop writing stories on this site. With having a full time job along with family I don't have time to write or finish anything and I know I won't ever come back to this. I've enjoyed my many years on this site as a reader and writer, but it's time for me to call it quits for good.
However, I don't want to just quit without leaving some closure. So for each of my stories I'm going to post the current progress I had with the chapter (which depending on the story might not be a lot of progress or polished) and give my plans for how I was going to take the story and wrap everything up to give some closure to those who care.
Finally if anyone wants to take my stories or ideas and make them their own feel free to do so. And for the last time stay safe out there and enjoy your life!

Chapter 6. Getting Settled
(Akane Beach)
Sitting with her legs held close to her chest was none other than Lucy Heartfilia. Who simply watched the dark ocean waves roll against the beachfront. Her mind focused on the well-being of her two friends who had literally flown off into danger.
"You think they are okay?" Lucy mumbled softly.
Natsu who was standing by Lucy's side merely shrugged his shoulders. "Erza has always been strong and could handle anything. So I have faith in her."
"Plus she has Naruto with her and he beat Jose!" Happy spoke up, as he was floating between the two wizards. "So those two together would make a powerful team."
"I agree with Happy." Gray chimed in as he was standing behind the trio with his clothes surprisingly on. "Naruto seems to be incredibly strong and was given the same title of Wizard Saint that our Master has. There is no way a guy like him would let anything bad happen."
"You guys are right, I shouldn't worry so much." Lucy replied as she let a small smile fill her face. "Naruto and Erza will be alright since they have each other."
"You all are fools." Sho spoke up, as he and his fellow slaves were standing off to the side.
"What did you say asshole!" Natsu yelled loudly as he turned around and glared at Sho.
Simon taking his hand and placing it on his young friend's shoulder, he merely looked at the boy with a disheartened frown. "Sho please don't."
"No, I don't care what anyone says! I don't even care if Erza didn't really abandon us! Jellal is still our friend and he wi-. . ." Sho began but froze the moment Naruto landed hard into the sand and flapped his wings to kick back the sand around him.
"Did you have to land so hard?" Erza yelled as she slammed her fist into Naruto's chest.
Laughing and making his wings disappear, Naruto continued to hold Erza in his arms bridal style. "Oh don't act like you didn't have fun flying with me!"
"Whatever." Erza mumbled childishly as she crossed her arms and looked away with a blush.
"Naruto/Erza!" Happy, Lucy, Natsu and Gray all yelled together as they dashed straight for the duo.
"Yo guys what's up!" Naruto laughed loudly as he let Erza down onto her feet. "Glad to see you're okay!"
Natsu, bouncing on his heels, started to do some quick punches in the air. "Did you kick that bastard's ass!"
Erza's old friends listening in simply watched Naruto give his fellow Faires a thumbs up. "Left that asshole for dead and demolished his little Tower of Heaven into a pile of rocks."
"What?" Sho shouted in disbelief.
"Jellal is dead?" Simon added in.
(Elfman's Interview)
Puffing his chest out and holding his flexed arm out, Elfman slapped his bulging muscle and grinned. "You want to know about Naruto?"
Shaking his head with excitement, Jason leaned forward with his pen and notepad in hand. "Absolutely! He's this super cool and mysterious wizard who became a Wizard Saint!"
"Hah! It's a good thing you came to a man like me!" Elfman boasted loudly. "Me and Naruto have grown pretty close since he joined!"
"Oh really!" Jason exclaimed with stars in his eyes, completely unaware of Elfman's obvious lie. "Then you should know all sorts of secrets like where he's from and what's his totally cool magic!"
Scratching the side of his head and looking away, Elfman avoided eye contact with the reporter for a second. "Uh yeah. . . Of course I would know those secrets, but those are ummm secrets between men!"
"Awww come on Elfman! I gotta know something!" Jason groaned as he tried to push the man for some juicy gossip.
The edges of his jaw twitching and a bead of sweat trickling down his head, Elfman was about to get caught in his lie before a thought came into his head. "Okay fine I'll tell you a little secret, but you didn't hear this from me okay?"
"For sure!"
"Well Naruto spends almost all his time with Erza Scarlet." Elfman declared with a wide grin. "She's even the one who recruited him into the guild."
"So cool!"
(Cana's Interview)
Tipping back her seventh bottle of wine, Cana slammed the empty glass container and looked at Jason from across the table. "You wanna know about Naruto and Erza?"
Nodding his head with inhuman speed, Jason was shaking with excitement. "Tell me anything and I'll buy your next drink."
Giving a slight hiccup, Cana flashed the man a drunken smile and leaned over the table. "Well in that case I heard those two were caught doing the dirty."
"What!" Jason yelled with a blush as he started to scribble on his notepad.
Lifting her empty bottle of wine and holding the opening to her eye, Cana tried to see if there was even a slight drop left. "Yeah Mira mentioned something like that."
(Mirajane's Interview)
Turning around from the bar counter, Mirajane gave Jason an innocent smile as she cleaned a dirty drinking glass. "Oh my! You want some gossip about our naughty Erza and little blond cutie?"
"Yes yes yes!"
Laughing with an innocent tone, Mirajane placed the glass in her hand down and looked around. Then as she saw no one was listening she leaned forward with a rather mischievous grin. "Well I hear Naruto and Erza have had some rather lewd encounters in the guild's showers."
"So bold!"

(Future plans)
-Naruto due to his power would trivialize most things and would cakewalk most arcs that don't have a strong wizard/dragon
-After Wendy is recruited (who is like a little sister to Naruto like Lucy is) Naruto is approached by someone looking for him.
-It's not anyone from Konoha, but one of Selene's guards asking to come help Selene.
-Naruto and Erza go while the rest of the guild have their Edolas arc.
-Selene is within something called her "mana chamber" a magical room that creates a life like reality. Selene has been using this device to live out the life she wants to make and have. Refusing to eat or take care of herself ever since Naruto left home.
-Naruto is shocked as he's never seen this hidden chamber or seen his mother like this. As Selene is skin and bones with a very unhealthy complexion.
-Naruto was told that when he and Selene first came home when he was born, Naruto was given to Selene's followers to raise and she spent 4 months within that chamber. Only finally coming out when Naruto's constant crying was enough to pull Selene into reality and be with her son.
-but the reason she did this in the first place was because Minato didn't love her, but used her for power and tossed her and Naruto away for his real family when the war was won and he became Hokage. Since in this story Konoha is a much darker and more evil version of its cannon self. Something similar to another story on this site called Wrath of Fire or something like that.
-this is when the reader learns that every scene in Konoha from the start was fake and created by Selene in that chamber to escape the reality she lived in. In fact Minato is currently alive and living with his family he has with Kushina and Naruto's half sister.
-from there Naruto and Selene make up and they have a much more grounded understanding of each other.
-the S-class exams will happen like normal, but Naruto will lose to Acnologia. However, Selene and Makarov save Naruto and the guild. Dying to Acnologia, but getting everyone else away from the dragon. Leaving two huge deaths early on.
-Afterwards Laxus is brought back into the guild and Erza is promoted to the next master. The next seven years go by as a prosperous time for the guild as Fairy Tail is stronger than ever. They even recruit people like Sting and rouge along with other members like Yukino, Minerva and Kagura. All of whom kinda train under someone in the guild.
Natsu and sting
Rouge and Gajeel
Lucy and Yukino
Erza and Kagura
Naruto and Minerva
Just as some examples.
-by this time of course some new couples are married with kids. Like
Erza and Naruto
Gray and Juvia
Natsu and Lucy
Gajeel and Levy
With the parings building from where you would expect them to go.
-most arcs would be slightly different, but the ending would be a three way war where Konoha would get involved in the final war. Since I would be adding small sprinkles of them in during the time skip.
