Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I finished this chapter the day after I posted the first chapter and I just… forgot to type it up. The reason why is at the end of the chapter.

Chapter 1: I Storm a Sacred Island
"Where are you? Acnologia…"
A blond haired teen looked into the sea that seemed to stretched on for miles… and it probably did stretch on for miles. The teen was perched on a small boat that his clones were propelling forward using Wind Maker magic.
The boat was very small, its size only slightly larger than that of a rowboat. Altogether, the boat was extremely old. The water surrounding the boat sparkled and swirled around it. As if it would swallow the small and rundown boat up.
The blond was wearing a short sleeved red coat that had a black flame pattern decorating the hemline (Think Sage Coat). Underneath the crimson coat, he wore a dark orange shirt with a black spiral in the middle of the shirt, near his stomach. Naruto also wore loose dark pants which he had tucked inside laced boots.
The teen had spent most of his, admittedly short, life searching for the Black dragon.
Acnologia was the Black Dragon and wherever he went, chaos followed him like a magnet on steroids.
Acnologia was undefeated.
It was rumored that Acnologia was the strongest of the dragons and Naruto didn't doubt that the slightest bit. The Black dragon in the Book of Apocalypse…
He was going to be here.
Naruto could just feel the power rolling off of his surroundings. The source of the power had to be way stronger than the tremendous power weighing down on him because he couldn't even see his destination yet. From the ocean depths to the small and jagged rocks that jutted out of the water, all Naruto could feel was power.
Power that he needed.
Acnologia was extremely powerful, temptingly so. At his current level, Naruto was sure that he wouldn't even hold a candle to the dragon.
The Island was coming into his range of sight, still a ways off in the distance.
With its clear blue waters, tall green trees and sandy beaches, it looked like something out of a fairytale. The only thing that ruined the picture was the giant airship a few miles off the island shore. The ship resembled an oversized, flying boat. There was a central hull that had an arched, pointed bottom. Two larger, elongated parts jutted forward from the main body of the ship. The main hall seemed to be located right above the jutted out parts. The theoretical main hall was covered by a dark, arched roof. A massive observation deck protruded over the entire hall…
The worst part about the ship was the crimson Grimoire Heart Guild insignia that decorated the ship.
Naruto groaned, he had actually one considered the fact that he had good luck.
Grimoire Heart's Airship was heading straight for the island.
...
As Naruto continued to head toward the island at an alarming rate he dispelled his clones, causing the rickety boat to come to an abrupt stop. Now that he was much closer to the island, he could see the giant tree that seemed to be located in the middle of the island. The tree was gigantic! With a gnarled and slightly curved trunk colored the richest of browns. The tree had many large branches which held up a large, flat section of earth which in turn seemed to hold an entire forest on it. The gargantuan tree had giant roots to go with the rest of the oversized tree. The roots were as equally curved and gnarled as the branches. While the island itself was extremely small when compared to the tree, it was quite large on its own.
One side of the island was filled with rocky cliffs while the other side housed a strange variety of plants. The plants were both green and yellow in colour. Two waterfalls were also located near the inner section of the island. It was the gargantuan tree which radiated the most power, magical energy rolled off of it in waves. An incredibly strong barrier surrounded the island; Naruto guessed that it was supposed to keep the island hidden.
Two questions managed to burn itself into Naruto's mind; why wasn't the barrier working? And why was a barrier there?
Naruto could only vaguely answer the latter question. The barrier had to be protecting something, or someone. That must be the reason why Grimoire Heart was approaching the island at an alarming rate. That or they had decided to forgo searching for Zeref and track Acnologia instead.
The scar that decorated his collarbone burned as he stepped off the rickety boat and onto the island. But it didn't burn nearly as much as the silvery-green guild insignia that decorated his body.
Naruto had seen many Islands in his life, but none as magical, or as strange, as this one. He had entered the island on a beach-like setting. The sun was shining down as a light breeze swept past Naruto, cooling the humid air. The heat from the sun was heating up the sands below to unimaginable temperatures. If Naruto had ever found time to go on a vacation, he was sure that he would have chosen this island to go to. The island even had the perfect little coves so he could train at any time of the day.
"I CHALLENGE YOU TO SEE WHO CAN BECOME AN S-CLASS MAGE!" A loud voice yelled out exuberantly.
Naruto jumped slightly, he hadn't thought somebody would be near the place that he just so happened to wonder near to. So, he did what came naturally and started to eavesdrop on the group.
"You're the only one I refuse to lose to," a firm voice stated confidently.
"Me too."
"AS A MAN, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT THAT CHALLENNNNNGE!" another person yelled, drawing his 'challenge' out slightly longer than normal.
"Now I'm on fire!"
"Aye sir!"
"I am definitely making Cana into S-class!"
"Don't expect me to go easy on even you, Lucy!"
"Ha! Look at that trash howl!"
"Real Men-!"
BANG!
"Elfman, keep it together…
CRASH!
"…Those two are gonna be out soon…"
So Naruto continued to listen to the obscene shouting, wondering how on earth someone could possibly be so rowdy.
…
"The second part of the s-class mage exam is as follows."
That would explain the magical power coming off of these people; maybe the people were what the island was protecting..?
Or was it something else, something much more powerful?
"To find the grave of the first guild master, Mavis Vermillion, you have six hours… I'll be waiting."
By the outraged shouts that followed the statement, Naruto figured that the person in charge of this… S-Class… exam had left without warning, leaving no hints to this… Mavis's… gravesite.
Then a pink and black blur rushed past him, a small blue blur seconds behind.
Was that a cat?
Bang!
"Don't get in the way of my…EXAAMM!"
A green and Brown blur flew past Naruto. Just how psychotic were these people?
So, he settled on quietly following -not stalking- the pink and blue blurs.
Well the reason that I didn't update is; One, I was feeling kind of lazy and whenever I started to type I got bored and stopped. Secondly, I have two of my biggest assignments for the entire school year due. Lastly, my best (male) friend asked me out. I said no and now I'm feeling really bad. So, I drowned myself in artwork. Yes, I'm an artist and my dream is to make my own Manga when I get older…
If that wasn't enough of a reason, then I don't know what else to say other than sorry. I planned to make this chapter way longer but… I got bored…
Anyway, the winner of the Pairings poll is….
Erza!
I'm pretty happy that she won, but Ultear came in at a close second.
I've posted another poll on my profile so if you would vote, I would appreciate it…
Also, I did try to get this chapter out but when I sat down to attempt at making the chapter longer… I might of written out later chapters that will be coming out in a long time. When I say later chapter, I mean between chapters 7 and 17. So… yeah.
I've decided to give you a short teaser of those chapters since the next chapter title still hasn't been confirmed:
The silence was eerie. Here they were in the middle of a battlefield, and you could hear a pin drop. The revelation had shocked everyone to their core.
"How could you..?"
The voice that spoke those words sounded broken, cracking slightly at the end.
"I… I'll KILL YOU"
So? How was it?
I would also like to thank my reviewers! Thank You!
Anyways, REVIEW PLEASE!
