CHAPTER 11

(GENERAL P.O.V)

"Everything is going according to plan Talina," the mysterious man addressed the fake Porlyusica and grinned. They stood in an open field, as they stared at the small coal black hourglass that stood on the ground as it glowed. "Finally phase one is complete Tempus," Talina spoke up, as she continued to stare at the small hourglass.

The upper and lower bulb of the hourglass contained pitch black sand instead of ordinary sand. The three legged stand was made of steel, as the legs were designed into snakes. "It won't be long before we can control the Uzumaki brat, and then I can finally exact my revenge on Toma E. Fiore…" Tempus growled the previous King of Fiore's name, as his eyes narrowed in hatred.

"Patience Tempus," Talina grinned now, as she glanced up into the sky. "From here on out we must be meticulous in what we do…" Tempus silently agreed, as he followed Talina's gaze in the sky.

SOMETHING WAS APPROACHING…

From a distance they saw a ball of fire, soar through the air. As Shinachiku approached, they not only saw him, but felt his presence from afar. Shinachiku hadn't landed, and yet they both were feeling the scorching heat. "I think we should fall back…" Talina panicked as she kept her eyes on the approaching ball of fire, and began backing away.

"Don't be afraid Talina," Tempus assured her placing his left hand on her back, in order to stop her from retreating. As Shinachiku landed, the ground cracked open at the impact of his landing, as the ground rumbled angrily about them. "The Uzumaki boy is under our control. Thanks to the hourglass." Tempus grinned at Shinachiku's appearance.

As the flames blazed around Shinachiku, he stood hunched lifelessly where he stood. His emerald eyes were devoid of any emotion.

"I NEED TO STEP BACK…" Talina wheezed, as she wiped her forehead. She didn't need to look at her hand, to see the amount of sweat that was dripping off it. Her soaked hair, skin, and clothes were enough. Tempus didn't stop Talina this time. Instead he allowed her to step back, as he simply stared at Shinachiku intensely.

He cautiously took a step closer to Shinachiku. As he did this, he had to quickly retreat, as the flame from Shinachiku lashed out suddenly in warning. "I thought he was under our control," Talina asked nervously ,as she saw Tempus retreat. "He is," Tempus simply replied. "But remember what we're dealing with. The forbidden magic is still very powerful, and has a mind of its own therefore it's not so easy to control.

I think we should head to the kingdom of Fiore immediately, and find the Toma E. Fiore now that we have the Uzumaki-"Tempus began to say, but was interrupted by an unexpected visitor.

"I DON'T THINK SO!," Naruto's voice could suddenly be heard. "IF YOU THINK I'M GONNA ALLOW YOU TO USE MY SON TO GET BACK AT TOMA E. FIORE YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!." Naruto growled.

"How nice of you to join us Hokage of the hidden leaf village. You get a front row seat at me using your son for my handy work."

"OVER MY DEAD BODY!," Naruto charged at Tempus as his anger rose at Tempus comment. As Tempus grin widened at Naruto's action, he stood rooted to his spot. As Naruto grew closer to Tempus, a Rasengan began to form in his hands, but was immediately stopped, as Shinachiku appeared before him unexpectedly spin kicking Naruto away from Tempus.

As Naruto was forced to retreat he could hear Tempus mocking laughter. "How does it feel to have your own son put against you!?." Tempus mocking laughter increased, as Naruto's eyes widened in realization, as he took in his son's demeanour.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM!," Naruto roared at Tempus. "I simply have woken up with his newfound powers, thanks to the legendary artifact called the hourglass. To put it simply your son is under a powerful spell's hypnosis under my control."

"SNAP OUT OF IT!," Naruto suddenly screamed, as he smashed his fist into Shinachiku's face. Shinachiku flipped over several times, for he wasn't prepared for Naruto's sudden attack.

"FIGHT WHATEVER IS CONTROLLLING YOU!." Naruto continued to bellow as Shinachiku stood up now. Shinachiku slowly raised his left hand horizontally with his hand palm facing downwards. A ball of flame was formed out of nowhere, as it quickly took shape of a lightning bolt. Without warning Shinachiku threw it at Naruto.

As it spun through the air like a runaway fan blade, it also picked up immense speed, as it created a whirlwind sound. Naruto immediately sprinted off in the opposite direction realizing that his son's attack would rip him apart. ' I have to find a way to get through to him…' Naruto suddenly gasped as his eyes widened in shock, as Shinachiku's right hand formed another fiery lightning bolt and sent it after Naruto.

"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!," Naruto shouted his infamous technique. Two replicas of himself appeared behind him with Rasengan's ready, as the clones slammed it into the two lightning bolts. As a result of the clash, there was a loud explosion, which caused the ground to rumble so violently it could have awoken the dead. A gigantic cloud of smoke and dust had formed after the explosion, as Tempus and Talina looked on.

"Do you think it killed him?," Talina questioned Tempus who had a twisted smile on his face, as he seemed to be enjoying the scene before him. "Not by a long shot Talina. If the legends are true about Naruto Uzumaki, it's going to take a lot more than that to take him down…" As if on cue, the smoke finally cleared to reveal a very pissed off Hokage who was still in one piece. "It's one thing to come at me," Naruto growled as Kyuubi's chakra grew more menacing. "BUT TO USE MY OWN CHILD AGAINST ME IS WHERE I DRAW THE LINE!." Naruto snarled ready to lunge at Tempus directly.

As Naruto stepped forward he suddenly found himself unable to move. "WHY CAN'T I MOVE?!," Naruto asked himself aloud, as he suddenly saw weird symbols suddenly appearing around him. Suddenly Naruto gained control over his body, but he realized he couldn't move forward as he wanted, for there was some sort of invisible barrier surrounding him.

Naruto let out an animalistic roar, as he slammed his fist into the wall in uncontrollable rage. "As entertaining this fight has been, I have more important matters to attend to." Tempus sneered victoriously. "And I can't have you messing up my plans, the barrier should keep you busy for a few days…"

"YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!," Naruto continued to roar. "IF I HAVE TO HUNT YOU DOWN MYSELF TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, I WILL FIND YOU, THEN I'M GONNA RIP YOU TO SHREDS!."

"I'll like to see you try," Tempus responded as he turned in Shinachiku's direction. "Let's go." Tempus simply said to Shinachiku who turned and followed him. Just as Tempus was about to take his leave, a hand out of nowhere, grabbed onto Tempus right hand unexpectedly, causing all Tempus veins in his right hand to appear more pronounced and to turn instantly black.

"MACAROV!," Tempus snarled attempting to pull away but it was too late.

"MY EYES!," Talina screamed. Before Macarov had grabbed a hold of Tempus, he made sure to temporarily blind Talina, so that she wouldn't interfere. Immediately Shinachiku lunged at Macarov who merely looked at Shinachiku, and put his left hand up to reveal a glowing hand palm with the Fairytail symbol in it. Shinachiku immediately came to a halt.

He was still under Tempus spell, but the spell Macarov had used had compelled Shinachiku to stop in his tracks.

"DAMN YOU MACAROV!," Tempus continued to snarl unable to move his body now. "I SHOULD'VE KNOWN IT WAS YOU THAT WAS UP TO THIS." Macarov responded just as angry. "RELEASE THE BOY FROM THE HOURGLASS SPELL OR SO HELP ME GOD I WILL MAKE SURE THE BLACK COBRA SPELL KILLS YOU!." Macarov threatened.

The spell Macarov had used was some sort of sealing spell, which meant once the spell castor touches the person, the magic would seep through the person's skin into his veins shutting down his organs after sometime if the spell castor didn't stop.

"THEN DO IT!," Tempus challenged.

"EVEN IF YOU MANAGE TO KILL ME THERE'S NOWAY YOU CAN WAKE HIM UP. I'M THE ORIGINAL SPELL CASTOR WHO SET THE MAGIC IN THE BOX, THAT SHINACHIKU INTERFERED WITH!."

Tempus began to laugh.

"WITHOUT ME YOU LOSE ANY CHANCE OF ME GETTING HIM BACK!."

(HANAMI'S P.O.V)

I was about to go to sleep, when I felt this weird energy vibration. I tried to ignore it, but something within me kept compelling me to find out where it was coming from. Without thinking, I climbed through my bedroom window, and headed in its direction.

I couldn't ignore this. It had so much of an effect on me, that it began to affect my newfound magic as well. Mom and Dad would have had my head if they had found out I was running through the streets of Magnolia at midnight heading towards an unknown new energy.

That was twenty minutes ago…

I was frozen in shock and horror now,, as I had just witnessed my Dad and older brother fight, while some crazy lunatic had my brother under some sort of spell. Then Mr. Macarov showed up after my Dad got imprisoned in some sort of invisible barrier.

No one saw me standing in the distance…

As restrained the lunatic my gaze fell back on my brother seeing him in this sight made me sorrowful. Feeling all these emotions at once caused something to snap in me. A whirlwind of wind engulfed me as my emotions spiked. It formed into a large ball, as lighting appeared around it and cackled angrily. I approached my brother cautiously since his back was turned to me. The flames that engulfed him lashed out in warning.

As if sensing me he swung around to face me. The whirlwind that had formed some sort of force field around me, clashed with his flames, as I remained protected. I wasn't afraid. The only thing that mattered to me was getting through to my brother, and if that meant staring danger in the face then so be it. "Remember when you met me crying that rainy day outside of the Academy?." Shinachiku continued to stare blankly at me in silence.

"You asked me what was wrong and I said-," I paused as Shinachiku began slamming his fist against my force field like an angry gorilla.

"HANAMI WHAT ARE YOU DOING!," Naruto screamed in fear. "GET AWAY FROM YOUR BROTHER!." "And I said the kids from my class had laughed at my ninja goals. Do you remember what you said to me?." I said ignoring my father,as Shinachiku continued to bang his hands against my force field. Tears ran freely down my eyes, as I felt myself become emotional at the memory.

THAT'S WHEN I HEARD AND SAW IT…

Shinachiku slammed his hands against the force field for the millionth time, and that's when I not only saw the large crack but heard it.

"I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE SHINACHIKU!," I cried out desperately, as the crack on the force field slowly spread. "PLEASE REMEMBER."

"HANAMI RUN!." I heard my Dad scream at me again. The crack had slowly spread it would only take a few seconds before I became vulnerable. My heart thundered in my chest, as I closed my eyes.

I REFUSE TO RUNAWAY…

I rather spend my last moments breaking my brother free from this cruel fate. My brother didn't deserve this, and I refuse to run knowing I might be able to help my brother. My force field shattered before my eyes, as I could feel the blazing heat rushing at me as I screamed: "REMEMBER!."

Shinachiku raised his hands with a blank look on his face to hit me, but just as he raised them he paused in mid-air. I closed my eyes not wanting to see my brother hit me.

"I REMEMBER," I heard Shinachiku whispered. I slowly opened my eyes to see my brother freed, as his hands dropped to his side. "I remember I told you that no matter what other people said or thought about you, the only thing that mattered what you thought about yourself and the people that cared about you."

I continued to cry as my brother smiled sadly at me.

I HAD FINALLY GOTTEN THROUGH TO HIM…

"HANAMI!," Shinachiku suddenly pushed me away roughly. As I stumbled away from him, the fire that surrounded him that had disappeared now returned in an angry blaze. I was thankful he had pushed me away just in the nick of time, because if he hadn't I would've been burnt badly.

"CONCENTRATE SHINACHIKU!," a voice instructed from behind me.

"Whatever they put in you, you got to mentally and physically drive it out!." It was Uncle Natsu. The fire around my brother disappeared and reappeared as, Shinachiku growled and grunted as he dropped to his knees.

Shinachiku let out a scream in rage.

"THAT NEW FOUND MAGIC YOU GOT, USE IT, USE IT TO DRIVE OUT WHAT'S CONTROLLING YOU. USE YOUR FIRE MAGIC TO BURN IT OUT!, DON'T HOLD BACK!."

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!," Shinachiku suddenly screamed as a literal shockwave was released from Shinachiku's body. Suddenly Uncle Natsu appeared in front of me as he used his body to shield me.

I peeped under his arm to see the hourglass that glowed not too far from us suddenly shattered.

"NO IMPOSSIBLE!," Tempus screamed as he was still unable to move. I sighed closing my eyes, as I rested my head against Uncle Natsu's chest.

IT WAS FINALLY OVER…

(SHINACHIKU'S P.O.V)

I stood on Fairytail's balcony, as I watched the sunrise. I closed my eyes enjoying the peacefulness around me. After what I had been through a few hours ago, I would never take for granted peaceful moments like this again.

DAD WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG…

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TOMMORROW WILL REALLY BRING…

IN THE END I WAS WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING…

I WAS WRONG ABOUT FAIRYTAIL…

They weren't judgemental and distrustful. I was in this case. When I struggled to drive out Tempus mental control, I could hear Uncle Natsu help me gain control of my body.

I decided at this moment on, I was going to have a new perspective on life. To embrace new things and friendships, after all I had to learn how to embrace this newfound power I had. Suddenly I was really excited about our family vacation.

"How you feeling Champ?," Dad asked interrupting my thoughts. "I healed up pretty nicely, it's like I was never hurt." I responded. "Well that's a relief," My mom laughed as my parents and Hanami stood next to me now. "Kids your mom and I came to a decision and we just hope you'll like the idea." Naruto explained.

Hanami and I exchanged puzzled glances. "How would you guys like to join Fairytail after our vacation, and spend some time here?."

"REALLY?," Hanami and I asked in unison totally surprised at Dad's offer. "We realize you need to see the world not just from the Shinobi's point of view, but also from a different perspective as well. We believe Fairytail will be able to do just that, like it did with us when we were younger." Mom further explained.

"Will come visit you regularly, and you can come home whenever you like," Dad added. "Your Uncle Natsu offered to be your sensei Shinachiku, while Uncle Luffy offered to be yours Hanami. And the best part is your new friends Nathan and Lina will be staying as well."

"THANKS MOM AND DAD!," I cried freely as I hugged both of them. "This has turned out to be the best vacation we ever had!." Hanami said grinning brightly.

When I first set foot in Fairytail, I thought this was another place Dad dragged me along that I didn't want to be, but in the end it winded up being the only place I wanted to be right now.

FAIRYTAIL I HOPE YOU'RE READY TO MEET THE NEXT GENERATION UZUMAKI,'CAUSE I AM CERTAINLY READY TO MEET YOU…

THE END

HOPE YOU GUYS REALLY ENJOYED, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL SOON…
