Chapter 21: The Eclipse Project

"Acnologia, the dragon that can devour all existence... and one that brought an end to your clan's reign."

..

"Acnologia?" Naruto crossed his arms and tilted his head quizzically to look at others. The others shot him a confused look for a moment before Lucy realized.

"Oh, that's right," Lucy said, turning towards Naruto. "You weren't there, so you didn't know. Probably Sasuke-san doesn't know much about it either." She pointed out, now turning towards the silent Uchiha, who did not look like he was going to answer her.

She remembered something and looked hesitantly between a clueless Naruto and a silent Sasuke, before receiving a nod from Gray to tell them. She sighed before she began explaining to them, "He… this Acnologia was the precise reason we were locked in that stasis for seven years on tenroujima island."

"What stasis?" Naruto looked even more confused but before Lucy could go into depth to explain her fellow blonde, Sasuke interrupted her.

"Talk about what happened after that." Sasuke spared a look to his friend. "I'll explain about tenroujima to you later." He then turned towards Lucy again. "So, you are trying to say Acnologia has some sort of time-space magic?" He inquired. The tale sounded a lot different from what Erza had told him.

If he has such kind of power, then he would have to use his own Time-space jutsu as a counter when he fights that dragon-slaying man.

"No," Lucy shook her head quickly shutting out Sasuke's counter strategies against Acnologia. "That was casted by the first master, Mavis. The time sphere was a defense against the Acnologia since… we couldn't do anything to it. We were helpless at the time."

She was so shaken up by remembering that day's events that she missed Sasuke's brow twitch slightly. Great, so now Mavis? And how could she be alive to cast the Fairy Sphere if that old man was the third master while she was claimed to be the first? Wasn't she just a dead soul brought around by some kind of spell?

Sasuke decided to push the questions to the back of his mind and decided to ask them later. There was another interesting thing that was brought up by this dead dragon regarding Acnologia.

"So, you mean to say that… Acnologia was originally a human?!" Gajeel asked what Sasuke was thinking, with a visibly shaken up expression. Gajeel's whole demeanor was like a calm ocean before a storm hit it. So, that meant that… if they continuously use their… they would turn into dragon?!

"Ridiculous!" Natsu shouted, thinking the same thing as Gajeel and probably so did Wendy.

Gajeel looked at Natsu and then at the Jade dragon. That's right. There's no way that could be true. "Natsu is absolutely right. There's no way Acnologia could be a human!"

"There's no reason for a dead soul to joke around," Sasuke spoke up from beside, hoping to calm the two dragon slayers.

Gray snickered from beside, "I think someone joked around few minutes earlier. I wonder who that was."

Sasuke pretended not to hear and ignored Gray's snide remark about the jokes which the dragon made when it showed itself. "That Acnologia must be a special case."

"It's up to you to believe me or not," The jade dragon frowned as others turned their attention to it. "But, what I am telling you is the truth. He slaughtered most of our kind. That was around 400 years ago." It's body began to dim and half of the surrounding green orbs vanished. "You… people were the ones who did this…"

Everyone stared blankly as the dragon vanished into thin air as it talked, before it finished what it wanted to tell. It vanished completely as Natsu, Gray and Gajeel protested after they recovered from the shock.

"Naruto," Sasuke turned his head towards his friend who already had the same idea. His eyes had already changed to toad shape.

Naruto looked around and tried to feel up more of this magical source of the Jade dragon, but couldn't feel any. So, it seems that the dragon was gone for real. "No signs. He has vanished completely."

"Naruto-san is right." Wendy said, opening her eyes and confirmed as her spell receded. Happy and Carla ran towards her as she gave Sasuke the confirmation. "All the souls in this place are gone. In eastern terms, I suppose it would be calling it 'Entering Nirvana.'"

"That was a hell of a history lesson," Gray commented after a moment of silence as Natsu still seemed to be calling out to that dragon. He turned towards Sasuke, "Are you really sure that you are from another world? I mean given how much history your clan has here…" He trailed off.

"I am, unless..." Sasuke shook his head immediately, trying to clear away the doubts that began to form inside his head. The last thing he needed was another one of the foundations in his life to crumble. He opened his eyes with absolute clarity hoping that he was right. Otherwise, Itachi would have said something about this, right?

"Some of my ancestors travelled here way back. So, I think the dragon was either speaking about them or their descendants." He explained.

"Well, after learning about your clan, I couldn't help but feel it." Gray admitted before he shrugged. He then turned towards Natsu who had grown strangely quiet. "Natsu, what's up? You have gone strangely quiet."

"If you use too much dragon slayer magic…" Natsu began calmly before panic hit him in full flow. His skin turned pale white as he turned around, "YOU TURN INTO A REAL DRAGON?!"

"THAT WOULD BE BAD!" Gajeel joined him with an equally frightful expression. A storm hit his calm sea.

Wendy too joined them, but not in a brash way, "What should we do?!"

Naruto was quick to comfort her, ignoring the other two dragon slayers' remark about favoritism. He patted her head, "Mah, mah. You will be alright Wendy-chan. I bet you'll be as cute as you are now even after you turn into a dragon."

That last bit completely quashed his previous soothing as Wendy also started to run amok like her fellow dragon slayers.

"Oi, pedophile!" Sasuke scolded the blonde who rushed to his side quickly at the nick name. "Stop scaring the living crap out of children."

"Who are you calling pedophile?!"

Sasuke ignored his retort as he looked at Wendy and said, "If what they think is true, don't you think they would at least grow some scales by now given how much magic they have used."

Naruto stopped his racket after a moment as it made sense at what Sasuke just said. Even the others stopped bouncing around in fear after hearing his assessment. "Well… that's true."

Claps filled the air before Sasuke could speak further.

"Looks like the rumors about you are true after all, Uchiha-san," A man came into their field of view as he stepped towards them clapping his hands. All of them immediately tensed at the new arrival. They took in his features as the guy simply stood at the top of a rubble and stared them down.

The man was muscular, well-built of average height, seen to be wearing armor of the Cherry Blossom Holy Knight Squadron. He had a small scar running from his left temple to the edge of his thick eyebrows. His hair was dark and wavy, sticking up around his head, with prominent sideburns that join into a curved and pointed beard.

Sasuke frowned, his already active red sharingan blazing and his tomoe spun a little when the man looked directly into his eyes, "Who are you?"

"Don't be so rude, Uchiha-san." The man bowed with a mock grin introducing himself. "I was merely interested to know what our kind and noble princess saw in you. My name is Arcadios and I am the chief of the Cherry Blossom Holy Knight Squadron."

Sasuke didn't react at his slightly condescending and judging tone. He looked at Wendy before his eyes trailed to Lucy, and worried about their safety if a battle was to ensue. He didn't specify anything about this expedition to Erza, so if any of her teammate's got hurt, she would probably skin him alive. Nothing mattered more to her than her nakama's safety.

"I overheard everything. Our research seems like it was in fact in accordance to historical fact. You people know of Zeref's demons, don't you?"

Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other and then back at the man again. Naruto decided to go of the both of them and simply raised his hand. The man motioned him to continue as he took in a deep breath.

"WHO THE HECK IS THIS ZEREF NOW?!" He yelled as Sasuke nodded silently, agreeing with the blonde.

Despite the rude way Naruto asked, Sasuke could not help but feel the same way. First Acnologia and now Zeref. Just when he was beginning to think that this world was peaceful from his after all.

"He is this super evil dude who is the root of all evil in this world," Gajeel answered the two shinobi who looked at each other again.

Yup, definitely Black Zetsu.

"He is also the one who created monsters which caused terror among the people." Gray's fists clenched, his anger and frustration not missed by both the shinobi. He nearly snarled, "One of such monsters… It…"

"Gray." Lucy said softly, placing her hand on his shoulder.

Gray sighed and took in a deep breath to calm himself as Lucy turned towards the two shinobi, "Zeref was either directly or indirectly responsible for the bad past of many of our guild members. Like Gray, who lost everything to one of his monsters… and Erza, who was made a slave in her childhood, in hopes of reviving him."

Revenge, Sasuke narrowed his eyes and immediately caught onto Gray's feelings and he somehow guessed Erza's since he witnessed all those events back in his world. Now that he thought about it, that kid Jellal did specify someone like Zeref in the memories he looked up back when little Erza tried to rescue him.

Naruto's eyes were down casted as well. He remembered his talk with Erza and how she spoke about her friends trying to kill each other. His talk did soothe her though not completely. Maybe they too were slaves if she said that they were her childhood friends. Maybe, that's why she was still worried about them.

The man now named Arcadios continued catching their attention, "It's just as you heard. Zeref is the root of all evil. We also believe that he was the one that turned a dragon slayer into Acnologia."

"Zeref did it?!" Happy asked.

"So, in other words," The man stared at them with absolute seriousness. "Destroying Zeref will be the first step to destroying Acnologia." Natsu's eyes widened as a short white haired woman now walked and stood beside the commander.

"You are Yukino!"

Sasuke calmly observed Lucy and Natsu, who asked her few questions, before he noticed Carla wincing slightly beside him. The female exceed caught her head and blinked a couple of times before she started glaring at Lucy all of a sudden.

That is odd, he thought before he turned towards the man again. The man was speaking about the white haired girl now named 'Yukino.' If he recalled correctly, Natsu claimed to have fought with Sabertooth master for her sake.

Maybe, she was just working undercover. He didn't particularly care about the rest of the conversation as he tuned them out.

Arcadios asked them to follow him and took them to the king's palace. They mainly followed because curiosity was getting the better of them. They were taken to a huge underground chamber with a long corridor with only lanterns providing the light in the dim area.

At least some mysteries were solved as Arcadios admitted to having been behind the Fairy Tail abduction attempts and reassured them that he meant no harm to them. He was just using forceful measures for acquiring Lucy's cooperation and even said he felt ashamed. Talk about roundabout methods.

"What is the purpose of GMG?" Sasuke asked for the first time since they began to walk.

Arcadios chuckled a bit. "Nothing seems to miss you, Uchiha-san." He then looked behind his shoulder at the Uchiha, "The true purpose of the games is to accumulate a wizard's magic power. The grand magic games and the prize money were just a camouflage for this."

"So, every year you stole magic from the participants?" Gray questioned, the answer already known as others had disgusted expressions.

"That's terrible!"

"That's really low."

"Exactly."

"What magic power and what accumulation again?" Naruto asked with a clueless look on his face. Sasuke sighed, thinking it was his fault to begin with for roping the dobe in without any prior knowledge.

He placed a hand on his shoulder and gave an apologetic expression, "I'll… explain later." This was probably the fifth time he said to him this day.

"Say what you want," The man responded to Natsu and the co's insults, turning a corner in the corridor and opened a huge door which stood in front of them. "I did it all for a certain plan."

All of them gasped as soon as they entered at the huge circular disk in front of them, which had many weird designs. Around twelve rods were across the rim along the circumference of the disk as the man now turned towards them. It was so huge that Kurama could probably fit through it.

"This is Eclipse, the portal that will change the world. A great deal of magic was required to construct it."

"Portal?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes. He looked behind his shoulder at Naruto, and his eyes widened when he realized Naruto was no longer maintaining his sage mode,"N-Naruto… your eyes…?"

Naruto blinked and realized what was wrong after a moment. He sighed as he understood the reason after looking around a bit, "I don't know exactly what's going on around in this place, but whatever nature energy was around was sucked by that huge circular disk. It is all directed towards it."

Even chakra is no exception?! Sasuke frowned. Well, it was to be expected. Though jutsu and spells worked differently, chakra and ethernano were still fundamentally same on a level. So, that meant ninjutsu and senjutsu was out of the question near this place.

Arcadios was explaining about the gate to the others in the meantime, "When the sun and moon meet, the twelve keys will be used to open the door." Everyone looked unsure at where this was going as Naruto and Sasuke joined the talk. "Our plan is to travel back 400 years and finish Zeref before he becomes immortal. That is the eclipse project."

Sasuke's sharp gaze caught onto the multiple people that shifted in the dark patchy areas. Maybe it was an ambush. If so, Taijutsu and genjutsu it is then. He looked back at the general who stared at him expectantly and so asked, "So, this Eclipse gate acts as a time machine. Is that what you are trying to say?"

"Uchiha-sama, time flows differently between our world and the celestial world." Yukino addressed Sasuke before turning her head towards Lucy for conformation. "You may ask Lucy-sama regarding this?"

"Yes, I know about the time difference." Lucy nodded. She did travel to the celestial world once with the rest of team Natsu to spend a day. But, it had come at the expense of their whole training camp, which was for three months.

"The idea is to use the dimensional boundary line of the celestial world and the power of a celestial wizard to open this door." Yukino informed them.

All of them didn't like where this conversation was leading to. Sasuke raised his hand to Naruto and made few hand signs as he darted few steps forward until he was beside Lucy. Arcadios in the meantime continued where Yukino left off.

"The project is sure to succeed only when a true celestial wizard uses the twelve keys. I could say that aspect is indispensable. The sun and the moon eclipse is going to occur on July 7th."

He bowed his head slightly surprising Lucy. "I would like your help for it, Lucy-dono."

"July 7th… the day our dragons disappeared," Natsu pointed.

"Is it just another coincidence?" Gajeel wondered.

Sasuke immediately sensed the guards drawing in closer. "Look sharp, both of you!" He ordered. Alas, his pre-warning turned to be void as before the others could grasp on what was happening, they were surrounded by many soldiers on all sides. A complete dead lock, with no opening to escape.

"That's enough! Don't move!" One of the soldiers yelled.

"Is it his ploy?!" Natsu noticed the guards and immediately glared at the tall general in front of him. "If it is, I will make sure he will pay for it!"

Sasuke stayed silent as he watched the soldiers. No, something's not right. We aren't their actual target. His eyes widened in realization just as a well-known voice was heard behind the troops. "Surrender peacefully, Captain Arcadios."

The soldiers parted as a tiny man walked forward. Sasuke immediately recognized him and so did Arcadios. "Minister Darton, what is the meaning of this?!"

"That is my line." The defense minister retorted. "Leaking details of a top secret plan and details to outsiders is abominable."

"Leaking plans?" Arcadios eyes widened, before his gaze snapped towards Sasuke's sharingan. "I see... So, that's what happened. Some sort of illusion was placed on me back when we met. Isn't that right, Uchiha-san?"

Darton now glared at mention of Sasuke as if he had not noticed him before. If it was possible, the vein on his forehead bulged twice the size, "You brat… you continue to cause us trouble!" He hissed under his breath, not bothered by what others thought about his open display of hostility towards the last Uchiha. After all, he was the one who made a fool out of the crown and the royal guards.

Arcadios' head snapped back to Darton before Sasuke could respond, which to be frank he wasn't going to anyway. "Even if I was under some illusion, you know that they are not outsiders." He stepped forward with a hand held to his chest.

"They play a critical role in the success of the operation. You know this!" He pointed but Darton was having none of this.

"That is not for you to decide arbitrarily." He said in a stern voice.

"Are you sure you aren't opposed to this plan?"

"Of course I am opposed!" The old man snapped. "Changing history! Can you even imagine the inherent dangers, boy?!"

Arcadios did not have anything to say back to that as Darton ordered his soldiers, "Arrest Captain Arcadios on suspicion of treason! And arrest Lucy Heartfelia and Yukino Agria too! Throw everyone else out!"

"HAI!"

"What the heck are they rambling about?" Gray muttered under his breath as he stood with his back facing Sasuke's back. "I don't like where this is going. What do we do, Sasuke?"

Sasuke did not reply as he was busy finding the exit routes. If possible, he did not want to fight these guards or anyone representing the crown for that matter. Even as much as he was beginning to hate that old man, cause the last thing he wanted was a repeat of the five kage summit.

"You jack-asses! You are not getting Lucy involved in this!" Natsu warned with a dangerous tone. He lit both his arms on fire as he took a step forward.

Naruto too stepped forward, as he made a blue ball of energy swiveling around his palm, "I will not allow you to harm my friends!"

Sasuke and Gray face-palmed simultaneously and muttered 'idiots' under their breaths.

The blue ball was just undone in the same way as Natsu's fire fists. His sharingan observed their energy/chakra flowing in a stream of line towards the center of the gate. "Being all flashy is nice and all, but Naruto… weren't you the one who said the energy around here was being pulled towards it?"

"Oi, flame brain! Were you paying any attention at all?!" Gray too scolded. Suddenly, a white aura formed around Natsu and a blue aura formed around Naruto. This aura was then ripped apart from their body and started flowing towards the center of the gate.

"Perhaps, he did not warn you lot about this," Darton shook his head at the perplexed group. "If any kind of attack is activated this close to eclipse, all of that person's power will be siphoned." He explained to the rest as they helplessly watched all of Natsu's magic being sucked out.

"Don't cause anymore fuss." Few soldiers captured Lucy and few more went to move towards the unconscious Natsu, but Naruto stood in their way.

His knees were bent slightly as the light continued to suck out his chakra. Despite this, he managed to stand and grin at them, "Not before you cross me first, baldy!"

"B-baldy?!" Darton blinked at the blonde. "I-Impossbile! Why are you still standing after so much of your energy was taken from you?!"

"Sorry to break it to you," Sasuke immediately took out a dozen guards using the back of his katana freeing Happy, Carla and Lilly. Gray did the same with his kicks and took out a couple of guards freeing Wendy. Gajeel merely knocked the guards for fun. "But, you clearly don't know the extent of this particular monster's chakra."

"Chakra...?"

Naruto lifted Natsu and placed him on his shoulders. He took out a small ball kind of object, "Quick, Sasuke!"

"Hn." Sasuke took out a smoke bomb too. Both pellets were immediately thrown on the floor at the same time, causing it to explode with a loud bang.

Darton was the first one to come out of the smoke. He coughed as few more soldiers came out of the smoke, "T-Tell me you at least got the girl!"

"We do, sir!" The soldiers who had caught Lucy came out. When the smoke cleared, they gaped in shock to find one of their unconscious men in their arms. "No, we don't, sir! She was switched, sir!"

"Thanks for stating the obvious!" Darton shouted. "Quick, find them! They must still be somewhere here in this castle. Find them before they escape!"

"YES, SIR!"

He looked around and found that even the general and his assistant were missing, 'If they escape, I'll have no choice but to ask him to retrieve the prisoners.'

..

"What did they try to do?!" Makarov was livid and his outrage silenced the entire bar. He had every reason to be. Even if it's the kingdom, they had tried to harm his children after all.

Naruto folded his arms behind his head, "Mah, mah, jiji! No harm was done, you know. So, relax. There were just some minor injuries here and there."

"Minor injuries?!" He yelled. "Are you sure you should be even walking right now, Naruto? Natsu was knocked out and your power was sucked for a longer time than Natsu. It's a miracle that you are still standing!"

"Ah, don't worry about it," Naruto said, giving a grin despite the scowl on Makarov's face. "Kurama is taking care of my exhaustion as we speak."

"Kurama?"

"Yup, my partner!" Naruto gave a big smile.

Makarov stared at the boy for a moment before he hung his head in defeat, "I give up. Handling only Natsu was tough. Now, I have two idiots."

"Cheer up, jiji!" Naruto laughed as he patted the old master's back. "I'll just participate in Natsu's stead tomorrow."

"That you will." Erza spoke up calmly, walking towards the group that had ventured the Cave. "Were you the one who found out the cave and led the rest there?"

"No... Why would I want to enter a hideous cave voluntarily when I could have just relaxed in the bar?" Naruto tried to argue, looking a bit nervous at the static expression on Erza's face. She seemed too calm. As if she wasn't bothered by all that happened.

"Yeah, I am curious as well. Why were you there?" She crossed her arms.

"Uh… you see, it's a funny story actually..." Naruto began to chuckle nervously and looked at the rest for some help. To both his anger and disappointment, all of them looked away including his best friend and brother. He was abandoned and left all alone. He still continued rubbing the back of his head before he felt a poster stuck into his pants back pocket.

Erza didn't seem to have noticed it. He looked behind and saw Gajeel giving him a thumbs up. He wanted to cry and hug Gajeel but that will have to wait. He immediately took out the poster and gave it a quick glance before flashing it in front of Erza. "I was promoting this ramen offer across the city. The chef said he would give me extra ramen for doing this."

"You just happened to be near the cave…" She asked after inspecting the poster and he nodded. "They also happened to be there at the same moment you were promoting this special ramen offer…" She asked and he nodded again with a confident grin. "The offer that expired two days ago?" She raised a dangerous yet elegant eyebrow.

"That I did."

Sasuke and the rest wisely moved away from the blonde sensing the dangerous aura emitting of her, though the blonde seemed oblivious and continued laughing.

His laughing soon turned into hellish screams that violated many individuals' ears. The aftermath looked painful to both eyes and ears.

"Sasuke?"

Sasuke faced away from the horrendous sight and turned towards their master. He once again gave a cautious glance towards Erza who was now assaulting Gray, before stepping near Makarov.

"What about these two?" Makarov asked, gesturing to the unconscious general and his sergeant, Yukino. "Is there any reason you rescued them?"

"Naruto was the one who suggested." Sasuke said, running his hands through his hair. He then looked at the tied up hostages who were being treated by the old Sakura. His face had a serious expression as his eyes narrowed, "Though, despite what Naruto or anyone says, do not let them go until 7th July, master."

Makarov nodded before scratching his head, "You said these games are held to absorb the participants' magic power, yes?" Makarov sighed, at his wit's end when Sasuke quietly nodded. Honestly, he didn't know what this kid was thinking half of the time.

There must be some reason for him to think of using hostages. "Then, what do you suppose we do?"

"We continue to participate." Sasuke answered without any hesitation. Makarov looked at him surprised as he continued, "Since none of our members were captured, we will be fine as long as we don't allow Lucy or the hostages to fall into their hands."

He stated looking in the distance to see Lucy move towards the soundly asleep Natsu and Happy. She held a small smile as she looked down at him. His gaze softened slightly at the sight, "They can't attack us in the games since they don't want their secret to be spilt to the world." He added.

He then turned back towards Makarov, "I believe there is someone else behind the scenes." The person named Rogue that the princess mentioned. "If we go by their rules for the time being, I believe we can catch them by the end of the games." He suggested, before adding to tempt the uncertain Makarov after a moment, "The prize money, master. *cough*. Thirty million jewels. *cough*." He deliberately coughed and smirked when his master got successfully swayed.

"LISTEN BRATS!" Makarov got onto his stool as the guild stopped doing whatever they were doing. "We are not going to quit the games just because of this! We continue to participate and show them the might of Fairy Tail!"

He glanced at Sasuke who nodded in approval before turning back to the assembled crowd which gathered in front of him. "We will certainly show them who the boss is and win that thirty million *ahem* teach them what it means to mess with us!"

"He just said thirty million, didn't he?" Macao pointed. He turned towards Wakabe, "He just said thirty million, didn't he?"

"For the pride!" Wakabe raised his mug much to Macao's horror. Macao turned towards the rest only for them to raise their mugs too and ignore his comment. Even his own son cheered.

He then turned to the only sensible person in the guild. "Sasuke-san, please ask the master to stop this madness. Natsu is already hurt. I say it is safe to withdraw from the games before we are further harmed."

"I will kick their asses!"

Natsu's voice rang through the bar. Both Sasuke and Macao turned to see the fire dragon slayer get up temporarily to declare before he collapsed again. Macao turned back with a shake of his head and saw Sasuke smirk.

"For the mon-" Sasuke coughed, correcting himself and wiped the smug smirk of his face. "For the glory." He raised his hand and gave a pretended nonchalant cheer. He smiled when he saw Macao sigh and retreat to drink muttering under his breath that they were a lost cause.

"What are you smiling about?" A scowl marred Erza's pretty face as she approached him. He looked over her shoulder to see that Naruto, Gray and Gajeel were done for. He was so busy planning out for the next day that he forgot about her for a moment and the reason she was pissed. After all, he was the one who actually led the rest to the cave, and may have been indirectly responsible to what happened to Natsu.

"Uh-uh."

Well, Sasuke and Naruto learn about Zeref and Acnologia, though there are still two days left in the games. Sasuke decided to take few hostages and Natsu is reckoned useless for the day 4 of the games, finally giving Naruto a chance. And, Erza was pissed at Sasuke in the end. That's it for this chapter.

I have decided to edit the earlier chapters, seeing as I found many grammar issues myself and it was too vague according to me and also the flow felt a bit off. Currently, I have edited chapters 1 and 3. If you guys are interested, you can check it out and if still some grammar errors remain, feel free to specify them to me.

Well, I'll upload the next chapter tomorrow, since our favorite avenger's birthday comes up.

Until then, later!
