Secret of Scarlet
Chapter 03: Secret of Comrades
Naruto awoke at the sound of shouting and explosions. Getting up, his head was in pain as it pounded against his skull. Shaking his head, he looked outside to see the sun shining. Feeling his head pounding again, he groaned. "I need a chill pill…" He muttered.
"When did I fall asleep? Actually, how long was I asleep would be a better question…" He thought to himself. Getting up and looking outside, he was a bit shocked at the overturned stands and carts and a few burned areas here and there.
"What the fuck just happened…?" Naruto thought. "I really need that chill pill now…"
Opening the door, he heard people shouting downstairs as he grabbed a shirt on a chair and pulled up a pair of pants. Looking outside one more time, he noticed countless numbers of electrical orbs hanging in midair. "What the hell are does…?" He asked no one in particular as he exited the room.
(Downstairs, Location: Fairy Tail Lobby)
"Dammit, Laxus…" Makarov muttered to himself as Natsu and Gajeel tried to get through the barrier. Happy cheered the two on as the two Dragon Slayers were having no progress.
"Dammit, why can't I get through this stupid barrier?" Natsu grumbled.
"Dammit, this is getting stupid!" Gajeel grumbled.
"Hey, stop copying whatever is say!"
"When did I start copying whatever you say?"
"SEE! You just did it again!"
"I didn't even copy that line!"
"What the hell is this…?"
The group of four flinched as a sudden arise of pressure fell upon them. Natsu and Gajeel both suddenly held the feeling that they should run and hide while Makarov recognized this type of Magic.
"Pressure Magic? The Magic which allows the user to portrait their intent depending on their mood? He know this kind of Magic? Plus, this is the kind of Pressure Magic that shows the user's Killer Intent! How is he?"
"Making comrades and allies attack each other in full bloodlust just to become the ehad of this guild…?" The blonde man behind them unwrapped the bandages around his right eye, revealing a spinning blood red eye with three tomoes. "That's disgustingly UNFORGIVABLE!" He roared, his Pressure Magic going high top as Happy was suddenly slammed onto the ground, even with his Aera on full affect. Natsu and Gajeel really felt the need to run and hide from whoever the man was. Even Makarov was having trouble standing as the blonde stalked towards the door. "I'm ending-…"
*BANG*
The four suddenly was released from the pressure as they were shocked at the blonde being stopped in his tracks.
"… this…?"
Cue pause.
…
…
"HIM TOO?" Natsu and Happy yelled as Gajeel roared, "WHY HIM TOO?"
"But… but why…?" Makarov asked, confused as Naruto looked confused as well, touching the barrier for a bit, knocking on it before turning to Makaroc. "Neh, Makarov-san…"
"Huh?"
"There's something wrong with the doorway…"
"There's nothing wrong with it!" Makarov shouted as Naruto noticed the inscription of the Seal.
"Rule: Anyone over 80 years of age or Stone Statues are forbidden from crossing this border."
"What the hell?" Naruto asked. "How the hell am I 80 years old?" He wondered as Makarov asked if he was. "Hell no, I'm only 37! Do I look over 80 to you!" Naruto asked, turning back to the inscriptions of the Jutsu Shiki to find out why he was stuck. Before realization hit him. "It can't be… is it because of that dumb-ass fox that I'm stuck in here! I mean, he is over 80…" He thought, trying to punch his way through the wall.
As Naruto tried to get through the wall, Natsu was trying to free Erza, only to crack her statue. Hearing the pink head apologize, Naruto watched as the statue crack and shatter, revealing a familiar face. "E… Erza…?" Naruto wondered with shock as Erza punched Natsu, unintentionally hitting Gajeel as well.
"No, that can't be… my Erza is probably out there somewhere in the world. This Erza is probably a dopple person, someone who looks like her and somehow have the same name, but…" Naruto breathed out heavily. "I can't help but see her in that girl…"
Naruto sat on the ground, trying to calm himself and think what to do as the number of mages available to fight cranked up from 3 people to 5. After Erza left for battle, Naruto suddenly thought up of something. Taking off his shirt, Naruto nicked up blood from his thumb. Everyone watched with interest as Naruto swiped the blood onto the strange letter on his right chest before a puff of smoke came out and a large scroll appeared.
"WHOA! Where did that scroll come from!" Natsu asked as Makarov blinked. "Is that Magic? No, I didn't sense any Magic being used nor do I know any Magic like that…" Gajeel smirked as he thought about how strong the blonde man would be before Naruto unscrolled the scroll before taking out another scroll from within the scroll.
"That's too much 'scroll' being used in that last sentence…" Natsu muttered, holding his head in pain as Naruto took out a brush and ink just as the girls behind the group turned back to normal. After a small celebration (pfft, yeah right…), Laxus suddenly used some sort of Magic to boom his voice
"Hey you hear me, old man! And all you wimps in the guild!"
"Laxus!"
"So this is Laxus…" Naruto thought.
"One of the rules stopped making sense, so I thought I'd bring up a new rule! The Battle of Fairy Tail is going to continue on, and to make sure it does, I started up a bit of Thunder Palace magic."
"D-did he say Thunder Palace!" Makarov asked, shocked at this news.
"Although the blonde guy is new to me, you still have an hour and 20 minutes left! Think you can beat me? Or do you want to retire now, Master? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~~~~"
"WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, LAXUS! DO YOU PLAN TO INVOLVE COUTLESS OF PEOPLE WHETHER THEY ARE CONNECTED TO FAIRY TAIL OR NOT!" Makarov asked in anger before he clutched his chest is pain. "NGUUH!"
"Master!"
"What's wrong!" Naruto asked as Mirajane went up to get Makarov's medicine. "Because Master is over 80 and is still living, he should be having problems with his body and health." Cana explained as Mirajane came back to report what was going on outside. Naruto frowned a bit before doing a few hand signs. Suddenly, his hands glowed green before he shifted it over Makarov's body. Makarov suddenly seemed to have calmed down before Naruto stood up, anger in his eyes.
"This has gone far enough…!" He said, anger dripping off his voice, his right eye transforming from a tri-tomoe eye into a tri-tomoe with a hollow center in each tomoe connected into one circle. Three bars connected the tomoe-circle to the outside of the red eye before it began spinning madly.
