Chapter 1 Celestial Spirits and Sky Dragon
"Wake uuuuup." A voice whispered in Naruto's ear. Naruto groaned as he was being pulled from his sleep.
"Wake up." The voice started to sound annoyed but it didn't deter Naruto from his sleep.
"WAKE UP!" The voice yelled, making Naruto scream as he fell over the side of his bed.
"Well, you sure act like her." The voice sounded amused.
"Huh, wha-" Naruto opened his eyes to stare at a pair of polished black shoes. He followed them up to see pressed, black pants followed by a white dress shirt, black jacket and tie to rest on a youthful looking face of a man with unruly, almost animalistic, auburn hair and shaded glasses. Naruto yelped in surprise and jumped on the bed, pulling out a kunai from his sleeve and placing it in front of him in a defensive position.
"Who are you! Why are you here!" Naruto asked cautiously.
The man smirked as he adjusted his glasses over his eyes. "I am Leo the Lion, but you can call me Loke. You summoned me." The newly dubbed Loke said calmly.
"What, I never summoned you." Naruto was confused. How could he have not sensed this man's presence. He would have felt it if someone had entered his house. He stared as Loke pulled out the keys that came from the meteor. "Those are…"
Loke finished for him. "These are the Celestial Keys."
"Celestial Keys?" It would make sense since they came from a meteor.
Loke nodded. "Yes, the Celestial Keys are a mage's tool that allows them to summon spirits like me."
"Spirits?"
Loke looked annoyed. "Are you going to keep parroting me or can I finish my explanation."
"S-s-sorry." Naruto stuttered as he shut up and let Loke continue.
Loke sighed to recompose himself. "As I was saying, the Celestial Keys are powerful weapons that allow a mage to summon Celestial Spirits." He pointed to himself. "For example, I am Leo the Lion. I am part of the Golden Keys." He showed the golden keys. "There are 11 others like me, meaning spirits of great power. Our abilities differ from each other and not all of us are suited for combat." Loke stopped talking and looked at his audience hoping to see that Naruto had paid attention. "Now, any questions?"
"Yes, you said mage, did you mean magic? I thought magic didn't exist." Naruto asked.
Loke looked surprised. "You don't know about magic? Then how did you summon me?"
Naruto looked at Loke in confusion. "What do you mean how? When I summon, I use chakra. Isn't that how I summoned you?"
"Chakra, the energy in all living things? Well, I guess that could be used as a substitute for magic, the energy that lives in the soul." Loke asked. "Wait, you said summoning. What did you mean?"
Naruto looked oddly at the supposed spirit before biting his thumb, drawing blood and performing hand seals. Loke looked at the whole thing in confusion before looking in shock as Naruto slammed his hand on the floor and out popped a frog.
"Hey, Naruto, what's up?" Loke was surprised that the red frog could talk.
"Hey, Gamakichi, I was just summoning you to show this guy how I summon." Naruto spoke to the red toad as he turned to look at Loke.
"Huh, who's this pretty boy." Loke continued to stare at the amphibian, he may have witnessed many strange things in the spirit world, but never a talking toad.
"This is Loke, he says he's a Celestial Spirit." Naruto explained to Gamakichi, hoping he knew what he meant.
"Celestial Spirit? Never heard of them. You sure he ain't lying?" Gamakichi replied as he crossed his arms in scepticism.
Loke now looked offended. "Hmph, like I care what a dirty frog has to say about that."
Gamakichi glared at the male. "I'm a toad, not a frog. And if celestial spirits really existed, then how come I have never heard of them. My family has lived for thousands of years and I never heard of you."
"What! How can you have never heard of us? We have existed in Earthland for well over a millennia."
Before they could continue to argue, Naruto stepped in. "Wait, wait, wait. You said Earthland, but we this isn't Earthland." Naruto told Loke as he restrained Gamakichi who was prepared to jump on Loke.
This shocked Loke. "This isn't Earthland." Both Naruto and Gamakichi shook their heads, although Gamakichi was a little ruder. Loke suddenly looked depressed. "Then that means that Earthland really was destroyed by Acnologia."
Naruto looked at Loke confused. "What is an Acnologia?"
Loke took some time to recollect himself before sighing. "Acnologia is , or was, one of the last dragons in Earthland. It was known as the Dark Dragon and was reputed to be incredibly violent and destructive. Like all dragons, it had the power to 'breathe' and element into a destructive roar. It ravaged Earthland and destroyed many guilds. Before you ask, guilds are groups of mages that come together to perform missions together." Naruto nodded, guilds sounded a lot like villages on a smaller scale.
Loke continued. "My ex-summoner, Lucy, and other members of Fairy Tail, one of the mage guilds in Earthland, died protecting Earthland from Acnologia. Because she died without any heirs, our contract with Lucy was terminated. When you used your mag-er chakra on us, we were able to create a contract with you." Loke explained.
Naruto looked surprised. "So, I have a contract with every spirit?" Loke nodded. "And I can use my chakra to summon them?" Again, Loke nodded. "Alright, now for the obvious question. How did the keys end up in a meteor?"
At this, Loke looked serious. "I have a theory. The last time we were summoned, the world was in a horrible war. All around us there was nothing but carnage and destruction. Acnologia was a creature whose power was almost unstoppable. I wouldn't be surprised if it managed to destroy the world. " Naruto listened in rapt attention, horrified at the idea of a world being destroyed by a powerful monster. "If that is the case, then perhaps the planet died out and turned into a burned rock as it drifted into space. Our keys, because they are made from material of the spirit world, are indestructible, so it could be possible that as the planet was traveling towards this one, we were entombed in it as it lost mass. That would mean that the meteor you said you found me in was probably the last remains of our world."
"But, if your world was full of magic, why did it start killing the ones around it?"
"The problem with magic is that it is easily corrupted and once corrupted it could be corrosive towards other substances." Loke explained.
Naruto thought that it explained why the vegetation around the star died out and why the people who meditated in its presence became poisoned.
Gamakichi then spoke up."Well, that explains a few things. Guess I should head back and inform pops about this. I'm sure he would want to know one of his summoners can summon more than just us now." With that, he poofed away.
Naruto watched him go as he thought about this new situation in his life. He was now a celestial spirit mage, or ninja. He was about to think about the whole thing when he was startled by Loke cupping his face gently in his hand and staring at him. He blushed at the close proximity.
"Hmm, well, you aren't a girl, but you are rather feminine." Naruto lost his blush as he glared. "But despite the signs of masculinity and the hideous orange clothing I admit those whisker marks are pretty adorable." Naruto's glare turned into a blush again. Nobody ever complemented his looks before and Naruto never bothered to think about them, but hearing this attractive guy tell him how cute he looked really made him shy.
"W-Wh-Why…" Naruto cleared his throat to get rid of his stutter. "Why are you saying that?"
Loke smirked. "Because as our new summoner, you will have to be accepted by all the other spirits."
Naruto gulped at that. He had the worst experience with being accepted. So, it was natural he would be nervous about being accepted by an entire race of spiritual beings.
Loke noticed his nervousness and was confused. From what he saw of the boy, he was rather cheerful and happy, but as he looked at his nervous form, he noticed he looked…scared? It almost looked like he was afraid of meeting new people. Did something happen to him to make him wary of others?
Loke shook his head as he pushed the thought out of his head for now and took out one of the keys. He presented the key to Naruto who took it and examined it. The key had a lyre at the bottom and two faces, one happy and one sad, at the top with a symbol on the handle.
"Use this and say: Hirake Ashita no Tobira: Gemini. Introduce yourself to them and tell them not to touch you yet." This made Naruto sweat drop, were they molesters or something. "Then, tell them to summon me." Loke then vanished in light before Naruto could stop him.
Naruto looked at the key before holding it up and yelling: "Hirake Ashita no Tobira: Gemini." He was surprised when a circle of blue light appeared in front of him with a lock in the middle. A flash of light then revealed the presence of two small, blue, floating alien-like creatures with antennas wearing shorts, one red and the other black.
"Ho, looks like we have a new summoner." The one on the left with a smile and red shorts said.
"Maybe we should introduce ourselves." The one on the right with a frown and black shorts said.
"I am Gimi." The black shorts wearing one said. "And I am Mini." The red shorts wearing one continued.
"We are the twin Celestial Spirits, Gemini." They both replied simultaneously as they floated around while waving their arms.
"Umm, I am Naruto Uzumaki. Loke told me to tell you not to touch me yet and to summon him, whatever that means." Naruto told them.
The twins looked at each other before giggling. "Okay!" They replied as they poofed and transformed into a young, blond woman in her twenties with her hair tied at the side. She was wearing a green shirt and a beige skirt.
"Wow, that's amazing."
The spirit then took out Loke's key making Naruto look at his hand where he was also holding all the other keys. "Huh, how is that…" He was interrupted by the twins.
"Hirake Ashita no Tobira: Leo." With that, the same blue circle appeared and out came Loke.
Loke smirked at Naruto's dumbfounded expression. "Well, I see you met Gemini." He gestured to the still transformed Gemini. "You see, Gemini has the power to completely transform into any person he touches. At the moment, he is transformed into our past summoner, Lucy Heartfilia." Naruto looked in awe at the woman, now realizing that she was the mage who owned the keys before him.
Loke turned back to Naruto. "There is a reason I wanted Gemini out. You see, the best thing we should do, as you are not familiar with magic, is to teach you how to wield it. Who better than to teach you than Gemini, the one who can turn into mages."
Naruto looked a little excited now. "Does this mean I'll learn to use magic?" Loke nodded and both he and Gemini smiled in amusement at the childish excitement of their new summoner. 'Maybe he won't be so bad. If what I saw earlier was real, than us being with him might also help him too.'
"Now Naruto," Naruto turned to look back to Loke, "I am going to leave and let Gemini teach you."
Naruto nodded as Loke faded in light. He turned to Gemini and was surprised they turned back into their previous form.
Gemini, seeing his confusion, laughed. "Heeheehee, we can only turn into a person for 5 minutes so if we are to train you, we'll have to do it periodically." Naruto nodded. "However, we can turn into 2 people so we'll teach you 2 different magic styles." Naruto looked excited at the prospect.
" Can you show me who the other one is?"
Gemini giggle before transforming. Naruto looked at the smoke, wanting to see who will come out. He was severely disappointed. He thought it would be this big and powerful warrior or something. Instead, there in front of him was a little girl, around his age, maybe younger, with dark blue hair and brown eyes.
The Gemini-Girl smiled at him. "I am Wendy Marvell, the Sky Dragon Slayer."
So, Naruto will be a Celestial Spirit Mage and a Sky Dragon Slayer. I hope the way I did the story was okay. I wasn't sure if the whole idea was plausible.
