Pagemaster96: For the Chunin Exams thing I have no idea what you are talking about, so please elaborate. As for the Sharingan, I looked it up, and it does allow to do what you said, however it also allows for them to know their opponents next move before they know it themselves. Not a large gap ahead, but still know. It has been stated, and unless that was a translating error or something of the sort, I am sticking by that.

Dark2SasukeUchiha: I don't want to be rude...but I've been showing OCs...I've said who they were made by too...have you read my story? If you missed it it's in my authors notes, check the beginning of this arc. And more OCs are yet to come.

TenshiEren14: If you called me Kuma-sama it would inflate my ego...which is too large as it is.

By the way, if you guys haven't I'd recommend going and reading Dragonslayer by KitsuneDragon. That story is amazing, and in my humble opinion, better than my NarutoxFairy Tail crossover by leagues and leagues of just...I don't even have a word for it.

Yup! Everybody is gonna hate me, I've sealed the deal!

Bad News! The King and Magic Council!

Sasuke suddenly felt his cheek burn, making him frown. "Really Mira, was that necessary?" The white-haired woman nodded, tears falling from her eyes. "Of course it was you idiot! Your stupidity combined with Naruto's made you blind. You can't see anymore. I think a slap is me being kind to you."

Sasuke just shrugged. "It's just sight. I've known amazing shinobi who have become monsters without things as useful as sight."

Mirajane snarled, slamming her fist onto Sasuke's head. "And what, you godforsaken idiot, would those things be!?"

"Chakra."

Mirajane slapped him again. "I don't even get the concept of chakra!"

Sasuke groaned, preparing to open his mouth, yet he felt a blow impact with his gut. "Don't explain it!" Mira roared, tears falling from her eyes still. She then clutched onto him, crying into his chest.

"It's happening again," she mumbled. "I wasn't able to protect another person I care about."

"Mira this has nothing to do with you. You could not have stopped it."

Mira glared at him. "If I got my fighting spirit back I could have stopped your fight!"

Sasuke blanched. 'You slept through the entire thing, I highly doubt that,' however Sasuke was no idiot, and did not say that aloud. He was too afraid. 'Feminine rage…it is a scary thing indeed. And Naruto had Sakura do this to him…'

"Mira, I value your want to stop Naruto's and my fight, but you can't compete with either of us."

"Then teach me how!"

Sasuke's eyes widened and he narrowed them at where he presumed Mira was. "I can't raise you to Naruto and my level on my own. You'd need something akin to divine intervention. We only have this abilities because Naruto and I in our old world used lightning and wind. Not only that we have abilities from our old world, and we are near expert-level with the abilities our magic give us due to the fact we were trained by Gods. We were dealt an unfair hand compared to you. We've been dealt a good hand all our life."

Mira frowned, tears falling from her eyes. "So I can't reach your level…" she mumbled, standing and walking towards the door.

"Mira, wait," however the former S-class mage did not wait, and walked out the room. Sasuke sighed, glaring at nothing, as he saw nothing. "Smooth Sasuke…now what the hell do I do about this blindness?"

Naruto kneeled on the ground, begging forgiveness of Erza. "Please, Erza, I didn't mean for Sasuke and I to fight," he said, and he was honest. He hadn't intended for them to fight, it just happened. Naruto was firm on his belief and Sasuke was firm on his. Whenever those two were firm in beliefs that were opposite from each other, they just tended to fight it out, and whoever won won. It had always been that way between the two.

"I don't care! Sasuke is blind. And while you may be all-better thanks to a giant kitsune in your gut your magic reserves are still very low, much lower than normal. Kurama is exhausted even though he only healed your physical injuries! Do you know how much damage you did to your body in that fight? The doctor said you almost died! You terraformed the area around Crocus! The Magic Council and the King are definitely going to have words with you!"

Naruto blushed. "I suppose you do have a point."

Erza's eyes twitched, her attractive features becoming very dark. "You suppose," she said. Naruto quickly stood, stepping backwards. Erza stepped forwards. "You effectively permanently damaged your best friend."

"Now think about this Erza-chan," Naruto said. "With Healing Magic or, even better, Biotic Healing Magic, we can fix his eyes."

Erza frowned. "One problem, Porlyusica can't use magic, and if Sasuke gets one of her fake eyes Sasuke will never be able to use the Sharingan ever again! You will have effectively got rid of one of his magic's! Even if Porlyusica could use a form of Healing Magic treatment on the eye is way too complicated, possibly even for her, and all the people in the guild who can use it are too inexperienced to be able to fix something of such delicacy."

"Ask the king?"

"We just destroyed his city!"

"Well not really the city…"

Erza's eyes twitched furiously as she cracked her knuckles. Naruto was silent for a while before he spoke.

"Magic Council?"

"You two are already suspicious by their standards!"

Naruto sighed as Erza glared at him. "I'm in trouble no matter what I do huh?"

Erza nodded. Naruto groaned.

The sound of a beating and screams of a man being punished by his girlfriend echoed through Crocus.

XxX

He was a short man who wore striped overalls, held up by a belt at the waist, under a cape.

Toma E. Fiore was a tired elderly man. While not near the age of Makarov Dreyar he was still fairly high in numbers, and as such he did not feel like dealing with the backlash of the two idiot Wizard Saints that decided the best place to have their little brawl was right outside the city of Crocus.

"Sometimes I really regret being king," he mumbled, glaring at the two males kneeling in front of him.

"'Crimson Thunder' Sasuke Uchiha, and 'Teleporting Spiral,' Naruto Uzumaki, do you two have any idea what you've done?"

Naruto and Sasuke looked at the floor, their heads bowed in respect, which was a surprise. Neither of them acted very well with higher ups, yet they were acting like stand-up citizens in front of the king. Maybe because they were surrounded by his Elite Guard at all sides? And the fact that Makarov was pissed at them.

Both of them nodded. The king sighed. "I swear, ever since you two fought at that tower all those years ago all you've done is make my life so freaking difficult. However, you do give good reports of good battles so I'm perfectly okay with it. Yet, destroying public property cannot be overlooked, while the terraforming can. Trade routes will have to be built again but that will only take time, and resources, that I should take from Fairy Tail might I add."

The two flinched, something he noticed but did not comment on. It seemed he had struck a nerve. He didn't really intend to do that but it did not matter. The duo knew better than to do anything, even if he personally would have preferred to be watching a good fight rather than sitting on his throne disciplining some children, at least by his standards.

"Look, I will not charge Fairy Tail any damages of property or nature, however the tournament must be completed, yet because of some people the arena is destroyed. Any suggestions?"

Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other, their eyes wide. They couldn't believe it. The king was letting them off easy, very easy. No charges, and all they had to do was find another area to do the matches at, which was very easy to do.

Naruto turned to the king, a smile on his face. "First off I would like to say thank you on the behalf of both of us. As for an area where we can host the semifinals and finals of the tournament why not on the very outskirts Sasuke and I fought on?"

"You do realize Uzumaki that that would cause much more damage to the area then you two have caused by yourselves."

Naruto blushed, looking at the ground but Sasuke simply sighed, tightening his grip on the white cane in his hand.

"Well, we could always delay the tournament," he said. The king raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Sasuke nodded to him, although his face was in the complete wrong direction, causing Naruto to snicker.

"Well, to be honest there is no true area that could really contain the semifinals and finals. Hence, I recommend putting the action on hold for a period of time, at least until the arena is built again. Naruto and I will even help you, personally, in building it."

Toma frowned slightly, stroking his small beard before a small smirk came to his face. "Despite looking in the wrong direction," he said, causing Sasuke to look at the ground to hide his frowning face and the evil smirk that was forming. He couldn't attack the king just because he was annoyed, or specifically at how the king was taking jabs at him, definitely aiming to get a rise out of him. It was not going to work.

Toma continued, "I find this to be a rather suitable plan. I agree to it. However, while I will require the services of both of you, Uchiha I want you to become accustomed to being blind…you would be more of a liability than anything as you are now."

Sasuke snarled, slamming his fist onto the ground, something Naruto tensed at. "I'm sorry, but I refuse! I will not be treated like some child! I refuse to be patronized!"

Toma simply chuckled, shaking his head. "It has nothing to do with your pride, so calm down and remember who you are speaking to Uchiha, I could care less about who you are, or your foolish pride," he said, his voice turning hard by the end of his speech. Sasuke frowned, but remained silent.

"You are blind, and no matter how well you may think you are coping with it the fact is that this is new to you. You never expected blindness, you never expected to be handicapped like this and you have to learn to adapt, and until you do so I will only enlist the help of Naruto Uzumaki that is all, you are dismissed."

Naruto and Sasuke both nodded, standing and turning, although Naruto tried to help Sasuke as he was facing the wrong direction. Sasuke shrugged Naruto's hand off, and turned, a snarl on his face as he marched down the hallway. Naruto looked after his friend sadly.

"So they're putting the event on pause are they," said a man. The man wore an elegant yet simple robe; consisting of a long white tunic with black stripes across the edges and on the upper part of the arms, a decorated collar, large straps connected to decorated buckles closing the inducement on the front over a dark shirt, and matching pants and shoes. He also sported a ring on his right middle finger. The young man sported blue hair and a red tattoo above and under his right eye.

The woman in front of him nodded, a smile playing across her features although it seemed to fake, yet also to truthful. If anything it seemed mischievous and playful. She wore a white robe. She was a pale-skinned woman with dark purple hair and brown eyes. Lastly, she had a rather voluptuous figure.

"Yes, apparently your fellow Wizard Saints, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, are a very rowdy bunch." The man's eyes widened. "Ah, it could only be those two that could cause such destruction. Those bloody idiots. I do like them fair enough but they are very rash. They allow their emotions to control them."

The woman snickered. "Siegrain, I feel like you're being a little too judgmental."

"Oh quite contraire, Ultear, I am being perfectly reasonable. In fact, I think I'll pay a little visit to my little friends, see how they are doing so to speak," the man, Siegrain, said, a smirk playing on his features.

Ultear shook her head, walking after her fellow Council Member with a sigh. "I don't know why you're visiting them personally. The Magic Council will have a word with them along with Yui when they return to base."

Siegrain nodded. "True, they'll likely be punished for their actions. Still, I think I should warn them."

Ultear shook her heard yet followed after him, a sway in her hips.

XxX

Sasuke walked around the outskirts of Fiore, trying to walk without his white cane. He walked forward, making it several steps before he tripped over a rock. He cursed, swinging his body and landing on his feet yet he wasn't satisfied. "If I could see that wouldn't have happened. Damn it!"

Sasuke stood straight again, walking forwards again, before he walked face-first into a tree that stood strong. Sasuke cursed, holding his bleeding noose before he punched the tree in his anger, leaving a sizable dent in it.

"Damn it!" he cursed, turning to the left and walking forwards again. Almost on instinct his arms reached out in front of him to feel for something yet he forcefully put them back down, resisting the urge with all of his willpower.

'I refuse to be useless because of this minor setback!'

XxX

Natsu took another deep breath, firing rising with his inhalation and lowering with his exhalations. He was meditating, trying to control his fire better, simply with the thought of it, although it was not willing. No, he would rather be working on his destructive force, yet Erza had forcefully made him do it and was supervising his training herself, making sure he didn't slack off.

"No, all you're doing is making it larger. While this is better control, as you're showing you can actually use the air to increase the power of your flames instead of simply creating them from nothing but your magic it's not good enough. You need to be able to increase the destructive power of your flames and then snuff it out instantaneously. Until you can do that I won't allow you to spar anyone."

Natsu's eyes shot open, a large frown on his face. "You have got to be kidding! You won't let me fight! What type of bullshit is that!?"

"Quiet Natsu!" Erza roared, silencing the fire dragonslayer effectively.

"If there was another way we would have delved into it by now, but you can't learn any knew magic, your Dragonslayer Magic is countering any attempt made by us, even magic of the fire element, so the next best bet for you is what Naruto said, you attempting to reach these next two levels in your powers. I figure they would come with better control over your flames and destructive powers, and if they don't, well then what do you have to lose from doing it anyways?"

Natsu snarled, the flames around him spiking in rage, swirling around him before shooting upwards in white, searing hot flame.

"Erza I can't just sit around here! That girl actively hurt you, hell she tried to kill you in plain daylight, with witnesses! She needs to pay!"

"Yet you can't defeat me," Erza said, stopping Natsu's rant. "You can't beat me and I can't beat her. Hence, what makes you think that you stand a chance against her, even if I gave you all the training in the world you couldn't. At best, with my training alone you'll reach the level of a high A-class, bordering S-class, and that's a maybe. The two you really need to help you is either Gildarts or Naruto. Both of them match your style perfectly and would be great teachers for you, however Naruto is too busy and Gildarts isn't here leaving me. Now, shut your trap and get to training. If you really want to get Matatabi back for the thrashing she gave me then become stronger! Strength! That is the answer, and Natsu, you don't have that!"

Natsu frowned, the white flames swirling around him. "Are you calling me weak?" he whispered, an edge in his voice. Erza nodded. "You're weak Natsu. You're too emotional, you're not wise, you're not fast, you're not strong, you're nothing like a dragon," Erza said, choosing her words carefully.

That clearly resonated within Natsu's soul as he shot forth, white flames shooting from his feet and coating both of hands. "How dare you!?" Natsu roared, his voice sounding beastly. He raised his fist and brought it down, however he missed, on purpose, changing trajectory at the last moment, luckily for Erza. He panted, calming himself down as he realized what he had almost done. In her state…he likely could have killed Erza if he had hit her with everything he had.

Erza stood as cool as a cucumber.

"Do you see what I mean Natsu? While your power comes from your emotions you need to know when someone uses them to control you. Even though that attack was fierce, and likely would have caused me a fair bit of damage if it hit and I was in top form the fact is you're clumsy when you go into a berserk-like state like that. If you did that in battle, hell, I'm sure many people could beat you as long as they could avoid. You're attacks are slower, you simply reach your opponent faster in that state by shooting flames from your feet to shoot yourself forwards."

Natsu was silent, his body shaking before he collapsed to his knees, his arms shaking. Tears fell from his eyes as he shut them, realizing his weaknesses. Erza looked at him sadly, clasping a hand on his shoulder comfortingly.

"Don't get down Natsu. All of that can be changed. You can still be you while being a great mage. I have a feeling Natsu, I have a feeling that if you reach your full potential you will surpass me."

XxX

Lucy watched Levy actively attempt to use her magic in combat against Jet, who, out of his crush on Levy and the fact that he pitied the pour girl, was letting her get some hits on him when it all actuality she likely couldn't touch him in a one-on-one fight. Her style now was just too supportive based. She just couldn't fight without someone being the person who was the tank in battle, she wasn't accustomed to fighting on her own, and it was showing.

"Then again I don't really have room to talk. I can't fight by myself either," Lucy said, looking down at the ground depressed. She shook her head, although she still seemed rather down. "I'm just not really good at anything other than using magic. I can't fight by myself, it's impossible. Celestial Spirit mages are always rather easy to take down if you can get passed their spirits. I'm the same. It's a wall that no Celestial Spirit mage has been able to overcome, so how could I, a novice at Celestial Spirit Magic at best, be able to overcome it?"

Lucy frowned looking at the ground sadly. "It's impossible."

Happy looked at the blonde with a sad look in his feline eyes. "That's not true. Sure, you might not know of anything that you're good at now, but that doesn't mean you won't find something in the future that you can do. Lucy I know you can do it!"

Lucy looked at Happy with wide eyes. "Happy, thank you, but how can you have so much faith in me?"

Happy looked at the ground, his eyes watery. "Because…" he mumbled. "Because you remind me of her?"

"Her?"

"My mother," Happy said.

(-Flashback-)

"Stupid Natsu!" Happy screamed, wings exploding from his back as he used his Aera Magic, before blasting out of the small tent. Happy shot through the air like a bullet, tears falling from his ears as he flew for hours and hours before his magic finally drained and he fell to the ground, exhausted and distraught.

"Stupid Natsu," Happy said, tears staining the ground. Happy looked up as he felt a large rumble, before his eyes widened in fear at the Vulcan that stood in front of him, looking at him with hunger. The look was only enhanced by the drool that was trailing the Vulcan's lips, and the way it's body twitched and stomach growled when he saw Happy.

"A…a…a starving Vulcan," Happy mumbled, his tears vanishing, being replaced with fear. "No, Natsu! Natsu!"

However, Natsu was nowhere near the small blue cat. The Vulcan took a single step forward before it shot forwards, each step shaking the ground. The Vulcan raised its arms, lunging at Happy. Happy, still rather young, had no more magic to use and closed his eyes. Just as a scream was about to escape his lips he heard a loud crash and glanced up.

"Lisanna…"

Lisanna Strauss turned, smiling at happy with bright, dazzling blue eyes. "Happy, I was so worried," she said, rushing p to him. She embraced him tightly, tears falling from her eyes. "Don't ever do that again. I thought something was wrong the second I saw you take off through the air that fast."

Happy sighed, his body leaning into hers. "I'm sorry…but…but Natsu…he's…"

"An idiot? Dense? Completely unreasonable? Makes you want to punch him in the face?"

Happy nodded. Lisanna smiled, stroking Happy's head gently, motherly. "Happy, that's how your father is. He doesn't mean to hurt you, he's just like that. He was raised differently than all of us. He was raised by a big strong dragon."

Happy's eyes widened. "Really? That's so cool."

Lisanna smiled, looking Happy in the eyes before she nodded. "Yeah, he said his name was Igneel. I never got to meet him, but Igneel was like a father to Natsu, like you're like a son to him."

Happy's eyes fell to the ground, his eyes watery. "I bet he's worried about you."

Happy glanced up, tears falling from his eyes as he looked at his mother. "Go back to him Happy."

Happy nodded. "Aye sir!" he cried. "One problem."

Lisanna raised an eyebrow. "And what would that be?" "I'm out of magic."

Lisanna shook her head, picking Happy up and putting him on her shoulder. "Let's go Happy," she said, giggling.

"Aye sir!"

"I'm not a sir."

(-Flashback-)

"You're mother…" Lucy mumbled, her eyes wide. "That's a…large comparison to live up to." Happy smiled and shook his head. "Quite the contrary. I think she'd like you a lot…if she were here."

Lucy glanced at the ground. "I'm sorry." Happy shook his head. "Don't be. Just…live up to her image, for me…please? Like you her magic wasn't all that combat-oriented, at least not the version she used. Yet, she never once was considered weak by anyone in the guild. Neither are you."

Lucy smiled, placing a tender hand on Happy's head. "I got it Happy. I'll become strong, for my sake, your sake, the guilds sake…and your mothers."

Happy smiled. "Lisanna."

Lucy raised an eyebrow before it clicked. "I see. Such a pretty name."

Happy smiled. "Aye sir!"

"I'm not a sir!"

Siegrain walked down the street, headed toward the apartment buildings, Ultear next to him.

"You know Ultear, you don't have to come with me. It's just a meeting between Wizard Saints."

"Meeting?"

"More like visit. Anyways, why are you coming in all actuality?"

"I have never really met 'Teleporting Spiral.'" 'At least not officially,' the attractive woman thought, still walking with the sway in her hips. Siegrain chuckled slightly, shaking his head as he walked over to the apartment attendant.

"How may I help you Lord Siegrain, Mistress Ultear?" the man asked, his head bowed. Siegrain blushed, scratching the back of his neck because of the praise. "There's no need to be so formal." The man shook his head vehemently. Siegrain just sighed before nodding. "I'd like to go see Fairy Tail if you don't mind. I need to talk with Naruto Uzumaki, Wizard Saint stuff."

The man nodded, pressing a button. A door behind him opened.

"The door that just opened. I notified them, they will know you are coming."

Siegrain smiled, nodding at the man. "Thank you. Have a nice day," he said, walking towards the door, Ultear following him after winking at the man. The man blushed. "You as well sir, madam."

"Do you have to be so insufferably flirtatious all the time?" Siegrain asked, a sigh escaping his lips once again. Ultear giggled slightly. "Ah, but it's so fun. Besides, we all know you've wanted to bed me since the first day you met me."

Siegrain rolled his eyes. "Whatever helps you sleep at night Ul." He said, walking up to the gate. As he did so his eyes widened. The man in front of him was a legend, someone even he, a Wizard Saint, looked up to, drove to be like. A man who ranked directly under the Four Gods of Ishval in power, and was strong enough to tame the beasts that were the 'Teleporting Spiral,' and 'Crimson Thunder.'

"Makarov Dreyar," Siegrain said, his eyes wide. Makarov sighed as he saw Siegrain. "Siegrain. I assume you're here about my idiot children." Siegrain smiled kindly at the man. He always did like him. The old man was always caring about people, always attempting to protect those that could be protected. He thought of his guild members as children even. The man was truly someone to strive to be like.

"Well, I am here to tell them that she is likely to be pissed at them for this little incident, as, well you know what she's like. As for the Magic Council business, well I don't particularly care about that. In my opinion, the Magic Council is too stuck up, just don't tell them I said that."

Makarov laughed heartily. "Trust me boy I won't."

Siegrain nodded but turned to Ultear. "You too Ul." Ul pouted. "But you just called me stuck up." She moaned as the duo walked into the hotel Fairy Tail was renting. Siegrain sighed before turning and walking into the building, Ultea giggled before she felt someone staring at her. She turned, to see the old man looking directly at her breasts. She sweat dropped, she had never seen someone be so blatantly perverted with her. She then felt a rub before she looked at her bum, to see a hand rubbing it. A tick mark formed on her face before she raised her fist.

"Rot in hell you perverted old man!" she roared, slamming her fist onto his head. She stomped away, cursing like a sailor as she searched for Siegrain.

Makarov made the piece sign to the sky.

"Worth it," the old man, mumbled, before he fainted from the pain.

XxX

Mito Uzumaki glared at Shukaku. "Repeat that," she mumbled, her form visibly shaking. Shukaku wanted to smirk, he truly did but he did not, instead keeping a calm, not insane appearance.

"I failed in my mission."

Mito snarled, slamming her fist onto the table in front of her. "You failed! Do you realize who you're talking to?"

'A person who is weaker than a bijuu,' Shukaku truly wanted to say but staid quiet. "Yes ma'am."

"I gave you a new life! You have two lives because of me! You owe me! I introduced you to an entire new world! Show some respect and discipline by completing your missions!"

Matatabi leaned against the wall behind him, a small smirk playing on her features, a smirk that irritated Shukaku, yet he stayed silent, instead sensing for the dark power inside of him that had grown larger ever since he defeated Lullaby. Shukaku was sick of being controlled, being looked down on.

'My time will come, oh yes, it will come. I will be king. As I was meant to be,' Shukaku thought the insanity he had slowly creeping back onto him. Yet the tanuki somehow managed to keep his mouth shut and instead just glare at the ground, wishing it would turn into sand so he could attack Mito and kill her.

"Do not act superior Matatabi, you nearly cost us the legal guild status, and we will likely still be talked to because of your stupidity. Both of you are fools! I hope when I activate Isobu I will not have to deal with such idiocy."

Matatabi snarled, but stayed silent, although visible flicks of blue flame shot around her body. Mito raised an eyebrow and rose, spires of water shooting through the room, and flicks of fire coursing off of her body. Sand rose from the ground, swirling behind her, lava pooled down her arms, steam shot from her body, acid bubbles pooled in the air, bug-like wings exploded from her back, and ink dripped from her lips.

"Please, as I've told you before. If you think you can usurp me, go ahead and try. I'm more than willing to satisfy you." Matatabi frowned, but the flames dancing on her skin vanished, as did the elements in the room. Matatabi turned on her heel and walked from the room, followed by Shukaku.

"I'm going to kill her," Matatabi said. "One of these days, I'll enjoy ripping the flesh from her bones."

Shukaku smirked. "Not if I do it first."

Matatabi gave off a small giggle. "Please, Shukaku, you're the weakest of us. You stand no chance against her."

Shukaku snarled, before his eyes widened. The power inside of him bubbled when he got angry. He latched onto it, using it to power himself. His skin tone became darker and his eyes became a darker shade. A black aura erupted off him and slammed into Matatabi, throwing her against the wall.

"Do not underestimate me Matatabi. I have many hidden talents, one's even you do not know of," Shukaku hissed before stalking off. Matatabi watched her younger brother walk off, fear in her eyes. "How?" she whispered. "How did he get so strong? Am I weak?"

XxX

Sasuke snarled, body aching from the many objects he had fallen into, slammed into, or tripped over. He was covered in bruises and scrapes, bleeding above his left eye.

"You have got to be kidding me!?" Sasuke snarled. His eyes bled crimson, although he could not know. He could not see the changes in vision when he activated his Sharingan, although he felt it. "I can use the ability just fine, yet I'm still unable to see! What is the point of the Sharingan if I can't use it to its full potential now!?" Sasuke paused, sitting on the ground. "Actually, this is good. I've learned something. Even with the blindness I can still use the Sharingan. That means Amaterasu and Susanoo are still viable abilities, even if without eyesight they will be severly less useful."

Sasuke cursed.

"Damn it! I have to get used to this! I can't give up, not yet! I haven't even awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan yet! That might even fix the blindness if I somehow manage to do it!"

Sasuke snarled, his crimson eyes changing into the Mangekyo advancement. He raised his arm, before bringing it down on the ground, using that to exercise his rage and annoyance. However, as Sasuke lifted his arm he felt the familiar tug and pull that happened whenever he used Susanoo, along with the familiar pain it caused him, as if every cell in his body was burning. Sasuke smirked though, forming what he hoped looked like the rib cage of the spectral God he had at his beck-and-call. Sasuke prepared to let go of the ability before his eyes widened.

"Well that's a good idea."

Sasuke's Susanoo exploded.

XxX

Mirajane sat on the roof of the building, her eyes closed as she meditated, or at least tried to. Her mind rushed with the thoughts of what Sasuke had told her.

'I'm too weak huh? It would take divine intervention huh? Well fine! Let's see how he handles his new problems, alone! That stuck up, self-centered, jerk!'

Mirajane however was not only thinking of the words he had said to her this morning. No she was also thinking of her lost fighting spirit. She felt her magic, she could access it, yet she could not draw on the power she used to. She didn't feel that same swell that she used to before Lisanna had died. She didn't feel the raw, demonic power she used to have lacing her fingertips. Mirajane frowned, looking at the ground, tears falling down her face.

Her she clutched her legs to her chest, her head resting on her knees. If anyone had bothered to listen they would have heard the crying she was doing.

XxX

Naruto paled before Siegrain. "Uh, Siegrain, I seem to have misheard you, could you repeat that please?" Siegrain chuckled slightly before he opened his eyes, still taking comfort in the wall he was leaning on.

"You heard me Naruto. Ezra will kick your ass when she hears of what you and Sasuke did. I'd prepare yourself for the fight of your life. That full power of yours will likely have to be used. On the plus side though, you have that healing ability of yours, plus the fact that Kerrigan might decide to heal you."

Naruto smirked. "Kerrigan, nah, she's nice and all, but I doubt it. She's a lot like me, go with the flow, but even she knows when people need to be disciplined. As for Ezra…well I've wanted to fight her full out for a while, to see what that God status was all about, and to test myself out against someone who uses magic similar to my own."

Siegrain just sighed, clasping Naruto on the shoulder before he turned to leave. "Good luck my friend. You will likely have some serious problems in this battle."

Naruto chuckled. "Very likely." He looked at the ceiling and sighed. 'The sad thing is he's right. I don't know the true extent of her powers, but I know that she can rival my Sage Mode, at least, she probably can. That's pretty damn strong.'

"Looks like I'll be seeing if they really are like deities," Naruto mumbled to himself. "If they can't even compare to Kai when he was using one-fourth of his full strength I'll be disappointed, although that means they'll likely kick my ass."

Elfman gathered magic again, feeling it surge in his body. He concentrated on the beast that he longed to tame, the beast that still haunted his dreams, and spread the power along his body, yet he felt the magic reject it, and shoot towards his arm. Wait, no, that was inaccurate.

'The magic wants to bond with me,' Elfman said. 'I've tamed the beast. However, something in me is afraid, it's the only solution. But mean do not feel fear! It's impossible!'

Elfman frowned, before gathering magic.

"If at first you don't succeed try, try again, like a man would!"

XxX

Two days had passed before Fairy Tail left, a whole day after all the other competitors, but specifically Matatabi and Mito. They did not want to encounter them on the trip back to the nearest train station, as the tracks was something that had been destroyed in Naruto's and Sasuke's fight. The entire guild walked down the path, crowding it completely, all of them very tired yet also elated. A stressful time had come and gone, and although it would be back later they would be better prepared. And when that time came, they would slaughter the enemy.

XxX

Jura sat alone on the floor of his house, a frown coming to his face as he recalled the magic power he felt flood off of the Uzumaki.

'That power,' the man thought. 'It was enough to dwarf the entire guild in size. Sure, he's always had an abundance of magical power, but the way he can wield it…it's terrifying.'

Jura couldn't help but feel humbled by the power. When he was first drafted into the Wizard Saints, despite being the weakest one, he felt a huge honor was placed upon him. However, he had misused that honor and instead became overconfident and patronizing. He looked down on those he deemed weak, and even began to look at several of the Wizard Saints like that because of their nonchalant behavior, namely Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. It seemed he had underestimated and misjudged the blonde though, as he certainly was powerful, and could be serious at the drop of a hat.

'Was I really so caught up in my own power that I let my overconfidence cloud my own judgment?' Jura questioned, his fists tightening as he opened his eyes, revealing clouded black eyes.

"Have I truly been wrong all along? Those two…they don't patronize, neither do any of the other Wizard Saints. Sure, they recognize their strengths and tell a person they are weaker than them if necessary, but they help cultivate, help others grow. I haven't. I've been cruel and patronizing, insulting my own guild members because of the fact they were not as powerful as I. Yet I'm hated, and they are loved…was I so blind as to not realize this?"

XxX

Mito yawned as she saw Fairy Tail approaching. "Good. They likely know we're approaching though…Matatabi, Shukaku, kill as many as you can, but finish the test. That is the sole purpose of this attack. Killing anyone else is just a bonus."

The two bijuu nodded before they rose. Shukaku's insane grin back on his face before he leapt from the trees and turned into small grains of sand that laid against the terrain. Matatabi simply hid behind a tree and waited.

XxX

Naruto and Sasuke sighed, although for different reasons. Naruto because he was tired, and Sasuke because of two reasons, one: Mira refused to talk to him, and two: because of the blindness. Currently Levy was helping lead him along the path and it was simply infuriating. The guild was patronizing him, him, and Uchiha, a person who was leagues above everyone with him except Naruto! Yet they were leading him, as if he was some lost, injured puppy! It was degrading, and he hated every second of it.

XxX

Mito smirked at the Uchiha, finding his anger to be quiet satisfying, although she also realized the danger he posed.

"Even without his eyes he can likely put up a good fight. My only solution is to do that…meh…I was planning on it anyways."

XxX

Sand spikes shot from the ground resulting in an explosion of shredding flesh and puffs of smoke. As the smoke cleared it revealed Naruto, by himself, heavily bleeding, however the wounds quickly closed, and Naruto smirked as the sand reformed, forming a miniature Shukaku. Matatabi walked from the trees, in her human form, although she seemed disgruntled.

"You knew?"

Naruto smirked. "Of course. I created a bunch of Energy-Make copies and from there it was fairly simple. I knew you would attack after the tournament was put to a pause. After all, you need the second test don't you?"

Matatabi sighed, "You are a smart one," she mumbled before she shot forwards like a rocket, blue flames licking off her body. Naruto's smirk faded, revealed with a look of serenity, of calm.

The dam had broken.

And blood would fly.

"Revenge is mine."

XxX

Mito's eyes widened as she saw her great, grandnephew easily counteract her plan. It was surprising. If anyone she would have expected this from the Uchiha, despite his blindness, as he was just the smarter of the two. However, it would appear that she had underestimated her nephew. Mito cursed, her power almost spiking. That calm look on his face infuriated her. Such an insufferable Uzumaki.

XxX

Makarov raised an eyebrow as he saw the large storm of smoke in front of them. "What was that?" he wondered aloud, and his sentiments were shared as Erza, Mira, and several of the other mages also seemed curious. However, when the Naruto walking next to Erza disappeared in a puff of smoke they knew it meant nothing good.

"Crap! Everyone hurry, something is happening!"

Makarov led the charge, the size of a fully grown man, as they raced towards the cloud of smoke. The sight they came upon was not what they were expecting.

XxX

"Energy-Make: Blockade!" Naruto roared as he slammed his hands on the ground, just quick enough to summon the large magic construct. Spears of sand slammed into it, causing Shukaku to frown before it shot forward in a serpentine manner, slipping around the barrier and appearing in front of Naruto. It cocked its arm back before launching it forwards. Naruto raised his forearm to block, yet the sand split, forming several tendrils that shot towards Naruto's gut and slammed into it, sending him flying.

Naruto flipped in midair, a frown on his face before he drew a Thunder God Kunai. He threw it towards Shukaku and formed a Rasengan before he vanished. He reappeared with his hand on the kunai before he spun, lashing out in a circle. The blade bisected Shukaku's head, yet Naruto knew that wouldn't affect the tanuki. No, he shot his other arm forwards as the Rasengan drilled into its body, sending sand flying everywhere.

Naruto smirked, and looked at Shukaku, however the bijuu laughed before sand shot from its sides and wrapped around Naruto's hand.

"Shit!" Naruto called before he teleported, seconds before Shukaku crushed the area his hand was. Shukaku frowned. "Damn brat."

Naruto appeared on the ground in front of Shukaku, a frown on his face.

'Even the Rasengan doesn't hurt him. Drilling doesn't seem to hurt Shukaku in the slightest, but piercing does. The only thing other than that I know would hurt is my God Slayer attacks. Shit, that's really limiting me on how to deal with Shukaku. The only other person I really have any chance at defeating without drawing a lot of attention is Matatabi. Maybe I should have brought Sasuke after all.'

Naruto jumped as a fireball impacted where he previously stood, a frown framing his face. Matatabi shot up after him, followed closely by Shukaku. Naruto frowned, cloaking his body in the glow of Meteor before engaging them. He launched a punch at Matatabi that she blocked with the palm of her hand before she flipped and raised her leg. She brought it down with an ax kick that slammed into Naruto's head, stunning him and sending him careening towards the ground.

Shukaku smirked, opening his mouth. "Sand Scattering Bullets!"

Hundreds of small, condensed bullets of sand shot from Shukaku's mouth, ripping apart Naruto's flesh and letting sand pour into his bloodstream. As the trio finally landed Shukaku smirked at Naruto. Naruto stood weakly before the wounds closed, his body healing thanks to the Kyuubi.

"You two are really pissing me off," Naruto said, black winds swirling around him as his eyes glowed with power. The winds began to surround him and he took off, only for his legs to not respond to his wishes.

"What!?"

Shukaku laughed. "It worked!"

This was the scene Fairy Tail walked in on.

"Naruto!?" Erza called. She then looked at the duo attacking him. "Matatabi, Shukaku!"

The two bijuu smiled as they saw them. "Ah, gathering like moths to a flame I see." Shukaku said.

"Erza…." Matatabi mumbled, a frown taking over her face as she saw her heavily damaged form. However, her eyes soon left Erza as she looked at the surging magic power in front of them. Makarov was angry.

"Let him go!" Makarov roared, his magic output cracking the ground. Shukaku smiled. "No."

Suddenly a black lance made of wind formed in the air before shooting forwards, impaling Shukaku. The bijuu howled, before rounding on Naruto, rage in his eyes. "You son of a bitch!"

Naruto snarled. "Don't ever insult my mother!"

Three more lances shot forth, however Shukaku avoided them. "What you gonna do about it, your mother was a whore!"

Naruto roared, rage and magic radiating off of him and causing cracks to spread across the ground. "I'll kill you!"

"You can't move!"

Naruto wanted to smirk, but he couldn't. "Correct…however I can still use magic."

Wind spiraled around his body, swinging his arm upwards and directly at Shukaku. "Sky God's Tornado!"

A tornado of black winds shot from Naruto's palm, shredding everything in their way as they raced towards Shukaku. However, the windswere overpowered by a large column of white flame that blocked their path. Matatabi glared at Naruto. "My element beats yours."

"But for how long? You're already using a lot of strength to manifest those white flames of yours, and we both know from personal experience that your blue flames can't stop my winds."

"That was when we were back in the Elemental Nations. We no longer are."

Matatabi shot forwards, blue flames cloaking her body, yet Makarov appeared in front of her, his arm already in motion.

"Attack, Fairy Tail!"

The guild shot forwards as Makarov's arm landed, however Matatabi caught it with both hands. Makarov winced at the pain of burning flesh before he was lifted off the ground. "Impossible!"

Matatabi smirked as she through him skywards, shooting after him.

"Don't attack!" Naruto called, but the guild did not listen, shooting their spells at Shukaku, however the bijuu simply dashed through them, shooting blasts of sand where he could, which downed several members, Lucy, Happy, Elfman, Cana, and Levy being some of them. Natsu snarled, shooting forwards, white flames cloaking his body.

"Take this! Fire Dragons Iron Fist!" he roared, yet Shukaku smirked catching it with a sandy palm.

"You think you can hit me! Pathetic!"

However, the bijuu had no time to counterattack as his sand quickly turned to glass. His eyes widened at the action before he shattered the glass and jumped away, a new hand made of sand quickly forming.

"You can turn me to glass…but the level of heat required to do so should be impossible!"

Natsu smirked, slamming his fist against his palm. "I am the son of a dragon. I was born to do the impossible."

However, Natsu had no time to attack again as Shukaku shot forwards, several tendrils of sand exploding from his back and forcing him to retreat. A tendril came down, clearly intended to smash Natsu to a bloody pulp, however it froze midair.

"Nice one Gray!"

Gray smirked, jumping from the tendril.

"Ice-Make: Lance!"

An ice blue magic formula appeared in front of Gray before several lances made of ice shot from it. These lances closed in on Shukaku yet the bijuu was prepared, raising his arms he shot sand from them, forming two small dragons.

"Sand Dragons!" he roared. The twin dragons shot forth and shredded the lances, before both of them lashing out with their tails. Gray cursed as the sandy constructs slammed him into the ground, blood flying from his mouth. The dragons opened their mouths and tornadoes of sand burst forth, both of them combining to form a larger one that kicked up a large cloud of sand.

"Fire Dragons Roar!"

The tornado of fire impacted with the cloud of sand, turning it to glass. The glass quickly shattered, revealing a bloody and bruised Gray laying on the ground, defeated.

"Gray!" Natsu called, however he had no time to react as a foot connected with the back of his head, slamming his face into the ground. Suddenly sand wrapped around him, binding his body in a coffin of sand.

"Prepare to die!" Shukaku roared, laughing. Naruto roared again, several wind lances forming before they shot towards Shukaku. Shukaku ducked under the first one, before his arms were pierced by the second and third. The fourth appeared above him, bisecting his body but not touching Natsu. The fifth and final one shot through his gut, sending him flying backwards.

"Don't touch my pupil!" Naruto roared, his body being contorted by his own winds. He flew forth, an arm cocking behind him. Shukaku glared upwards and clenched his fist.

"Let's cut off that air supply shall we!"

Naruto's eyes widened before he hit the ground roughly, unable to move or breathe. He glared at Shukaku, forming another lance of wind, however a brief surge of pain made it unstable and it dissipated.

Mirajane watched the events transpiring with tearful eyes. Never before had she felt so useless in a battle. She could use her magic, but anything useful was sealed off because of her damn mental barrier.

"I'm useless! Everyone's going to die and it's all my fault!"

"No." Sasuke said, Susanoo's rib cage cloaking him. "It is not. You be my eyes and I will be the body."

Mira stared at Sasuke, wide-eyed. "Really?"

"We don't have time for chit-chat!"

Sasuke shot forth, a miniature version of Susanoo cloaking him. The spectral Gods arm swung forth, carving a path of dirt and trees. Shukaku smirked at the fist.

"So dangerous!"

However he laughed.

"Yet you missed!" Shukaku called, the fist nowhere near him. Shukaku glanced at Sasuke's feet, and dissolved into sand.

Mira's eyes widened as she saw this, noticing the sand shooting towards Sasuke's feet.

"Sasuke, below you! Jump!"

Sasuke tensed his legs and jumped, however the sand shot after him, wrapping around his ankle and slamming him to the ground. He coughed, before he felt a small bite.

Flesh tore before sand entered his bloodstream and soon, even he was unable to move, or breathe. Mira couldn't believe how quickly Shukaku dispatched of him. Shukaku then rose, smirking at her. Sand began to flood from his body. Naruto formed another wind lance behind him, in desperation to finish off the tanuki, yet his eye sight was fuzzy and he missed.

That was the last attack he made before he fell unconscious.

Matatabi slammed a fist into Makarov's side, causing the old man to cough up blood. Matatabi then placed a palm on his chest.

"I don't have time to deal with you. White: Surge!"

A surge of white flames shot from her palm, enveloping the old man. Makarov screamed in agony as the flames seared his skin, however Matatabi was not done. She placed a hand on his head before shoving, blue flames erupting from her body as she did so. Makarov shot towards the ground, his body slamming through it and forming a small crater, in which his head was not seen, instead it was buried underground. His small body was badly burned.

Matatabi landed next to Shukaku, glancing around briefly.

"You do quick work," she mumbled. Shukaku smirked. "Of course. Then again, as much as I hate to admit it we got very lucky the blonde underestimated us, even if by not using Kurama. He also didn't know about my little trait. If it weren't for those two things, things would not have turned out so well."

Matatabi shrugged. "That is for a different place and a different time. It worked now."

Matatabi turned to Mira, whom Erza stood in front of. Mira had held her back the entire fight, despite the fact that the mage could have helped.

"Mira," Erza mumbled. "Run. Run as fast as you can. Get help!"

Mira shook her head. "No…we're a family, and as a family I will stand with you."

"Don't be a hero Mira!" Erza called, fear lacing her voice. "I can't defeat-" Erza never got to finish her sentence as Shukaku grounded her face into the dirt violently, knocking her unconscious. Shukaku smirked up at Mira, who drew back in fear.

"You should have listened to the girl," he whispered sadistically.

"Why? Why do you do this? Why do you have to hurt my family?" Mira asked, falling to her knees. Shukaku laughed, repeatedly slamming down on Erza's face. "Because it's fun!"

"Stop it!" Mira roared. "Please, they can't fight anymore…"

Shukaku got in Mira's face. "You think I care? They were enemies, and enemies must be annihilated, terminated."

Mira's eyes widened before she looked at the ground, silent. Shukaku laughed, cloaking the entire area in sand before he raised his hand and looked at Mira.

"You know, once I close my fist, everyone buried under this sand will die."

Mira was silent, even as a wind blew by that swayed her hair. The ties in her hair fell out.

"Die?" she mumbled.

(-Flashback-)

In front of Mirajane Strauss was a tombstone. The tombstone seemed happy, jolly even, yet Mira did not feel it. She just stared at the name on the tombstone blankly, tears falling down her face.

'Lisanna Strauss' the tombstone read.

XxX

A giant beasts roared as it raised its arm. "Elfman!" Mira called as she looked at the beast. "Snap out of it!"

The beasts roar only seemed to grow louder as it glared at Mira. Mira was about to close her eyes, until her sister stood in front of her.

"Let's go home." Lisanna called out, looking at the beast that was her brother. "Elf-niichan."

The beast brought its arm down, smacking Lisanna out of the way and sending her flying through the air.

"Lisanna!" Mirajane cried, reaching out with her hand.

(-Flashback-)

Thump.

Thump.

'Die?' Mira thought.

Thump.

'DIE?'

Thump.

(-Flashback-)

"Huh? This is strange. I can't move…my body." Lisanna whispered out as she lay on the ground, Mirajane clutching her arm and crying.

"Don't speak." Mirajane shakily ordered.

"Mira-nee," Lisanna spoke. "Where are you?"

"Right here!"

Lisanna slowly, and painfully turned her head, turning her dull blue eyes onto Mirajane, her older, loving, sister.

"Mira….nee….you know…I really can't….see…"

"Lisanna…" Mirajane asked as her sister went quiet.

"Lisanna! Lisanna!" She screamed.

Her sister had died.

(-Flashback-)

'DIE!'

Thump. Thump. Thump.

A golden glow erupted below Mira's legs, yet she didn't notice. Her face was still blank, lonely.

"This magical power," Shukaku mumbled as he glared at the woman. "She has a good bit of it. I wonder if she can use it."

Mirajane began to scream, first one of sadness and loss. Rocks began to be torn from the ground, and a crater formed under her feet. The scream became louder, before it changed. It turned to rage. A large, black magic formula spread from her body, covering the majority of the area not covered in sand. Slowly, Mira began to change. Her eyes became darker and her eyelashes grew larger, with a dark, thin marking in a light zigzag-style crossing her right eye vertically; similar markings were present above her right breast and on both of her bare thighs. Her hair became wilder, jutting upwards and getting curlier, with the front ponytail growing longer, and her ears enlarged, extending backwards, and gained pointed edges, bearing resemblance to those of fictional elf's.

She also gained sharp canine teeth, and her lips became covered in dark lipstick. Her forearms and hands received noticeable changes, becoming covered in scales and each sprouting a fin-like protrusion on its outer side. She also grew a large, stocky tail seemingly made of metal plates or scales, getting smaller and smaller near its end. Her clothes also changed, with the attire she was donning being replaced by a dark, skimpy one-piece suit revealing her arms and legs, which was open on the front and the back, exposing most of her belly, wide cleavage and upper back too. Such cloth has lighter-colored edges taking on spiky shapes, and her similarly spiky collar was tied around the neck by a cravat tie. Her shoulders were tied in some thin belts protruding from her one-piece suit, and her feet were covered by matching, high-heeled thigh-high boots, which were decorated by lighter motifs on their upper parts, taking on the shapes of jagged blades pointing downwards on the front of her legs, and on the lower parts, in correspondence to her ankles and feet. She also donned a pair of gauntlets covering the back parts of her transformed arms.

"Interesting." Shukaku said, only for his eyes to widen as the lower half of his body was eradicated by a blast of Darkness Magic. Shukaku smirked, gathering the surrounding sand to form another lower body.

"Very impressive. But alas, not good enough." Shukaku shot forth, slamming his forearm on Mirajane's head before clutching her body.

"Sand Repulsion!"

A swarm of sand devoured her, before quickly receding back into Shukaku's body, revealing a beaten, bruised, and unconscious Mirajane Strauss.

Mito jumped from the tree, and walked over to the duo of bijuu she had under her command. "Good. Much better than I anticipated." She then walked over to Naruto, and dragged him over to Sasuke. She formed several intricate hand signs before spitting ink all over them. Cursed seals then flowed off her body and onto them, going into the ink and darkening before fading away.

"Self-Unison Raid: Sealing of the Sixth Sage: Otherworldly Bind."

Mito then stood and walked away. Matatabi raised an eyebrow as she followed her leader, who was also followed by SHukaku.

"Are you sure it's safe to leave them like this?"

Mito smirked and nodded. "Quite. After all, the two biggest threats can no longer use anything they didn't gain in this world."


So how was this chapter? I hope it was amazing and a warning. Amazing because of the unusual length, and a warning because of the last line, and that line alone. It shows that Fairy Tail will be in for a rough ride against the remaining bijuu. This is the final fight of this arc people, the true final fight, and it did not end on a positive note. Not only is Fairy Tail in trouble with the Kingdom and the Magic Council, but their two Ace's against the bijuu have been nullified, at least partially, as they have effectively been weakened to around Laxus level, which for my story, is really freaking low! That's like, weaker than Jura low! Ok, I'm exaggerating, they can still beat Laxus, but they would tie with Jura, which is still pretty powerful, but not near their max strength in which they were like the Gods of Fiore. Yeah, I can't have these two winning every fight they come across can I? No. That'd be dumb...very dumb. VERY DUMB! No room for development. So yeah, the equivalent of two bijuu just beat the entirety of Fairy Tail, which many of you will not like. However, remember what Shukaku said, the majority of it was just pure dumb luck. If Naruto had known about Shukaku being immune to things like the Rasengan and Naruto did not think he would need to go all out to beat them, a stupid thought, but still. With that the duo went all out against him from the start, overwhelming him to quickly for him to rev his engines and get serious. Then Sasuke was really a liability without his eyesight, and with Shukaku's little binding ability the entire squad of Fairy Tail fell. Of course this gives me a lot of options for development, in everyone's character. Mira's has only just begun, and she gained her fighting spirit back too! At least that's a good thing. However, Fairy Tail needs to learn from this defeat, get over it, and then grow from it, a hard choice given the fact that even if they do that they'd still be unable to match the bijuu in a one-on-one fight. Hell, it'll be a long while before any of them can match them in a one-on-one fight. I also know that many of you will hate me for the Makarov thing, but that I really don't care about. However, as for stories, I have an announcement. I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I WILL BE THE AUTHOR WITH THE MOST COMPLETED STORIES ON THIS SIGHT! Now that's a bold statement, but considering how many authors start full stories, and finish them, not including one-shots, I'm confident in this unless everyone begins to do a bunch of uploading. I'm only saying this as I literally have monsters of ideas in my head that I haven't even begun to write, and other stories I already am writing. Seriously, I have around 25 stories in total, and I'm constantly thinking of more. Simply watching AMV's, playing games, catching up on shows, and watching new ones is just surging in my brain. This also means I'll be more diverse in my stories, so a larger audience. Aren't you guys happy? Well that's about it, see you guys later and avoid the Earl.
