After Naruto took Gajeel to the hospital to recover his injury, he went back to Fairy Hill. However, before going there, he remembered he has something to give for Lucy.
"It feels better to be home! Right, Plue." Lucy said with a smile, taking a bath with a cute white snow baby. But, he is melting down so fast. It made her shocked as she lifted the poor snow baby up in the air. "That's right; you get soaked in hot water. How cute!?"
After she got out of a bathroom, she changed her clothes into pajama. She stretches her arms in the air as she's ready to go sleep, but she heard a doorbell. It was strange when someone used doorbell in the night before. It better not to be Natsu or Gray who broke into her house.
She went to the door and opened it. Her eyes widened as she meets Naruto Uzumaki. "Naruto?" She asked
Naruto gave a smile. "Hey there. I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep."
"Oh no! It's alright. I didn't sleep yet." She said as she was wondered why he's here in front of her door. "Is there something you wanted to say me?"
"Yeah, before I was going to Fairy Hill, I completely forgot something." Naruto said as he started to search in his pocket. He got in his hand before taking out and showing the paper to Lucy. "Happy told me to give you this."
Lucy grabbed the paper from him and started to read it. "Miss Fairy Tail Contest?" She asked, reading down to the bottom until she went… "And it has 500,000 jewels! That's make seven months' worth of rent!"
"And I also heard that Mirajane and Cana are joining the Miss Fairy Tail Contest too." said Naruto as Lucy went in sulky expression. "Mirajane, too? She used to do photo spreads… for the Weekly Sorcerer… But I'm younger!" she smile herself by mumbling. "So with my fresh new charm… I can do this! I can get those 500,000 jewels! I'm gonna win this! I will win this no matter!" She eager to join the contest as her pose is like hero stance, but she noticed Naruto still here and watching her.
"You know I'm still here, right?" He asked
Lucy's face became red as she stopped her hero pose. It was very embarrassment for being watched by someone and didn't even pay an attention. It made Naruto laughed at her for doing the awkward pose.
"It's not funny!" yelled Lucy with a blush.
He stopped his laugh and looked at her. He can't help it to laugh. It reminds him when he's thirteen years old. "Sorry, sorry, it just that I used to act liked you when I was 13." He said.
"Y-Yeah…" She said with a embarrass face.
Naruto remembered that day when Lucy left the guild, but she didn't quit yet. She wanted to sees her father that one who ordered the Phantom Lord to capture her and destroy the Fairy Tail guild. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked
"Huh?"
"Few week ago, you were gone and went to your father's house. Are you okay?"
Lucy frowned in sad expression as she remembers talked with her father. She told him that he's mistake. She returned because she wanted to inform her resolve. She decided to take a walk on her own path. "Little bit…" she said as her shoulder being touched by Naruto's hand. He gave a finger poke on her forehead before giving her a smile. Lucy blushed when she looked at his warmth smile.
"Don't worry; no matter where you go. Natsu, Gray, Happy, Erza, and I always be here with you and support you." He said.
"Naruto…"
"Besides, in my world, I lived in my apartment by myself."
"I'm sorry about your parents and your life. I didn't know-"
"Like I said earlier, I got used to this. I have my old friends and teacher." said Naruto, but his watched is beeping. He checked his time, oh no…he's late for Fairy Hill! He has to hurry. "I gotta go. About the Miss Fairy Tail Contest, I think you can do this because you're young and pretty-ttabayo!" as Lucy blushed, but smiled.
Naruto gave chuckles for her as he begins to dash away. "See ya!"
"Thank you, Naruto for cheering me up!" She smiled
At Fairy Hill.
"Ehh? You want to join Miss Fairy Tail Contest?" asked Naruto, sitting on a chair, in front of Erza that is sitting on her bed.
"Yes, is there a problem?" She asked.
Naruto shook his head no. "No, no, there's no problem!" He said. He could probably think Erza will beat every girl in Fairy Tail except Mirajane. She's famous of the Weekly Sorcerer. She can probably win this too and will be in the first place. However…
"Think about Erza." said Kurama
"Leave me alone, Kurama." He said with a blush, turning around from Bijuu for not believing them.
"Come on, Naruto. Don't be so shy. You can tell us the truth that you're in love with her. We won't tell her." teased Matatabi.
Naruto's cheeks go redder and redder as a tomato-colored. His heart is pounding so fast. He's dropping his sweat. That was when he flashed back where he kissed Erza's lip on the beach by accident. He can't believe he kissed her. Also, he thought Erza looks very beautiful because her hair reminds him of his mother. The way she acts in anger at Natsu and Gray, she's like Sakura or Naruto's mother. They both have same personal.
"Naruto?" asked Erza, looking at Naruto's face is in blanking for a few minute. She takes a step closer to him by crawling on her bed, waving her hand in front of his face. "Are you okay?" Her face is very close to Naruto's face.
Naruto turned red as his chair got flipped by moving his body. He bumped his head on the ground. It hurt like hell. "I'm okay! I'm okay!" He said as Erza giggled.
"Okay." She smiled.
Naruto blushed again for seeing her smile. "Yeah, I'm okay. Anyway, are you going to do in the festival?" He asked.
"Yes, I am. I am going to do swords dance on my float. That what I always do that. I…I enjoyed for being watched by people. It's because I felt so much better. I have great friends and master who supported me a lot when I was shy. That's why I don't feel alone."
"That's good. I'm great you have a good friend. Friends are special."
"Hey, Naruto."
"What's up."
Erza has a blush on her cheek for telling Naruto something. "Can you… Can you join me with float…? I kinda…" She said.
"Yeah, I love to join you with a float." smiled Naruto. "I am going to use my Kyuubi Chakra mode for showing them of my cool form."
"Thank you, Naruto."
"Yeah, you're very welcome. That's what I do as a friend. I always do that." He laughed before his cheek got kissed by Erza's lip. Her lip is soft and warm. He felt like it's a mother kiss.
"You should go sleep. My contest is ready for tomorrow. And good night."
"Yeah, goodnight.
Next day, at the Fairy Tail guildhall.
Naruto is sitting at the table alongside with Natsu, Gray, and Elfman as they waited for the Miss Fairy Tail contest to start. Everyone is so hyped to see the contest because they wanted to see women. Of course, men wanted to see women.
"Geez, Natsu, are you really okay?" asked Naruto, looking at Natsu is eating the bread so slow with his bored expression.
"You're not the least bit interested, are you?" asked Gray
"He is a man." said Elfman
"Entry number one: An exotic beauty with a bottomless pit for a stomach, Cana Alberona!" Max said as the stage light flashed and reveal Cana.
Cana is wearing her normal clothes, but a lot of crowd people cheered so hard. As it starts, Cana used her magic card to surround her. When the cards are flashed out, Cana's clothes changed into the bikini.
"I'll take that beer-money, thanks." She said with a sexy grin.
"A swimsuit?" asked Lucy, hiding behind the curtains while watching her performs.
"I see… That's a good idea." Erza said, came out from nowhere.
"You're joining it too!" Lucy surprised.
"When I hear there's a contest, I can't help it but get motivated."
"My rent is running away from me…"
"Entry numbers two: She's the newcomer, but her magic's are S class! Rain or shine, this woman will steal your heart! Juvia Lockser!" said Max. The stage light flashed again and Juvia appeared on the stage.
"May these feeling reach you, Gray!" She said as her body turned into water and made a huge wave by using it. When the wave is done, Juvia is wearing a blue bikini and her background is an island with a coconut tree.
"Another one going for a sexy bikini!" Lucy shocked
Erza nodded.
"Entry number three: Everyone's favorite magazine girl of the guild… Her beauty is known throughout the land! Mirajane!" Max said
Everyone went crazy and cheering for Mirajane, the best of the Weekly Sorcerer.
"My specialty is transformation magic, so I'll transform!" She said as she covered her face with her both arms. People are waiting for Mirajane to show her sexy suit for everyone, but…
"Head-only Happy! Aye!" She said as her face is Happy's face and people reactions were a priceless and sad expression to see it. However, it wasn't over yet. She also changed her face into Gajeel's face. "Head-only Gajeel!"
Gajeel spat his water for seeing Mirajane's face.
Naruto and Happy laughed so hard when they see Happy's face and Gajeel's face. Looks like Mirajane decides to lose because she will be win again. That means she's giving everyone chance.
"Entry number four: it needs no explanation… Titania!" Max said
"That's my line!" Erza said, she suddenly jumped in the air by flipping and landed on the center stage.
"Erza Scarlet!" Max announced as the crowd cheered in loudly for Erza.
It made Naruto surprised to see Erza for joining in the contest.
"I'll show you all a very special re-quip." Erza said as she re-equip into Goth Loli.
"G-Goth Loli!" Lucy said as she shocked.
"That decides it." Erza said with a sexy grinned, only looking at Naruto. He suddenly went in red. And also, the crowd hearts beating so fast and cheered very loud for her.
"By the way, she only looked at you?" asked Gray as Naruto turned away from him, eating his ramen.
"He liiilke her!" giggled Happy
After 10 minutes later, Levy and Bisca did the performance for everyone. Now, it's Lucy's turn to do the contest, but she's too nervous to get out. "Everyone is so amazing." She said
"Entry numbers seven: Our guild's super rookie!" Max said
"That's me!" Lucy said
"This upcoming star will sparkle with the guidance of Celestial Spirit! Lucy!" Max said
Lucy walked out of the right stage and onto the center stage with her blue cheerleading outfit.
"Go, Lucy!" Naruto cheered with a smile.
Lucy is very blushing for getting cheered by Naruto, but she was happy that he's here with her.
At that moment, Lucy was interrupted by an unexpected woman. "Entry number eight:…"
Lucy didn't finish her performance yet, but quickly move faster. "Wait! I'm not finished!" she asked.
"If you want a Fairy, then you want me. If you want beauty, then you want me. Yes, I am all you want! The winner is obviously me, Evergreen! Okay! The idiotic contest is now over!" said the woman that came from nowhere. She has a light brown hair. She wears oval glasses and wearing a green dress.
"Evergreen?" shocked Gray
"Who's that?" asked Naruto
"She's one of Laxus's group." Elfman said
Naruto shocked. "What?!"
"Hey, don't get in my way! My rent is counting on this, you know!" yelled Lucy as she glared at Evergreen, before she's removing her glasses which it made Gray worried.
"Don't look into her eyes!" He warned, but it was too late. Evergreen took out her glasses and staring at Lucy in her eyes. She turned into the stone by looking at her eyes.
Naruto's eyes narrowed in anger and cried, "Lucy!"
"You…" Natsu said with angry.
"What are you doing, Evergreen!? Do you plan on ruining the festival?" asked Makarov
"You need some entertainment for the festival, yes?" asked Evergreen, snapped her finger as the curtain is gone up and the girls are also turned into the stone.
"Erza!" yelled Naruto
"Neechan!" cried Elfman, seeing Mirajane turned into the stone.
"You fool! Return them to normal at once!" said Makarov, before he sees a lightning bolt strike on the stage.
"Hey, you Fairy Fails! This festival's just getting started!" Laxus said
"Laxus, you son of a bitch!" yelled Naruto in anger as his aura is growing larger and larger of his anger. He held his Hiraishin kunai in tightly.
"Freed? Bickslow?" asked Gray as he sees two men are sitting on the 2nd floor. The man had bright green hair and wearing a red coat. The other guy is wearing black armor with white stripes and also wears his helm covering his eyes.
"Raijinshuu (Thunder God Tribe)?" asked Marco
"Laxus's personal guard!" said Wakaba
"Let's play, Naruto Uzumaki." said Laxus, looking at him who is glaring at him.
"Enough of this foolishness!" Makarov yelled
"Return them to normal!" yelled Naruto
"I wonder how many will be left to be in the Fantasia?" Laxus asks as his lightning bolt is going to strike Lucy.
"No, stop!" yelled Naruto, but the lightning bolt missed a target to Lucy. It wasn't just a miss. Laxus is playing with him. That lightning couldn't get hit her.
"These women are my hostage." Laxus said as he wrapped his arm around Lucy's neck.
"Laxus! Don't you dare touch my friend!?" asked Naruto with angry.
"Oh? You were worried that I was about hurt her. Should I do it again?" asked Laxus, the lightning spark on his face and made Naruto angry.
"Laxus, that's enough!" Makarov said.
"Just joking… If you break the rules, I'll shatter them, one by one. Did I tell you, remember? This is entertainment!" Laxus said
"That's not funny!" Makarov yelled
"I'm being serious." Laxus said
"Let's just see who the strongest is in Fairy Tail." said Freed.
"Time for fun!" said Bickslow.
"The rules are simple! The last one standing is the winner!" said Laxus
After he says that, Natsu punches onto the table and shown off of his smirk. "I like it! Simple! I'm getting fired up!" he said
"I like that eager spirit of yours." Laxus said
"Natsu!" Makarov yelled
"It's a festival, Gramps. Let's do this." Natsu said
"Don't you remember when you got beat by Laxus before?" asked Warren
"I was just a kid!" said Natsu
"It was last year!" He said
"I was a kid last year." said Natsu, started to rush forward to Laxus before jumped in the air. He's going to hit him with a Fire Dragon Iron fist. Before reaching Laxus, the lightning bolt strikes Natsu. He fell down on the ground and lost his consciousness. Everyone did a facepalm for seeing Natsu defeated by Laxus so quickly.
"But I hate that you have no sense of flair. So cool down" Laxus smirked in evil.
"Natsu!" yelled Gray
"That was quick." Naruto said.
"See what I said?" Warren asks as he placed his hand on his face and disappoint on Natsu.
"What a man?" Elfman said
"Aww, and he had just recovered." Happy said
"If you want these girls returned to normal, you must defeat us!" Evergreen said
"There are 4 of us, and around 100 of you, right?" Bickslow said
"You have 3 hours. After that, they turn to dust, I'm afraid." said Evergreen
"The field of battle is the entirety on Magnolia. When you find us, the battle begins." Laxus said
"Laxus…" Makarov said with angry as he turns into a giant. "Stop this foolishness!"
"Battle of Fairy Tail… Begin now!" Laxus said as he disappeared in the lightning and his group too. They left the guild behind.
"We have to save Nee-Chan and the others girls!" Elfman yells as he and everyone is chasing Laxus.
"That's fool! I'll stop you!" Makarov yells as he rushes the main door, but he got hit by an invisible wall.
"Gramp?" asked Gray as Naruto stopped too and sees Makarov can't go through the entrance.
"An invisible wall?" asked Makarov
"Don't be silly!" said Gray
"There's nothing there!" said Naruto as he and Gray grabbed Makarov's both arms and tried to pull him out of the invisible wall. While they're pulling him out, red runes appeared in front of a door where Makarov was.
"What's going on?!" asked Gray.
"Those older than 80 or stone statues may not pass." Makarov said
"So, a magic where the guy who sets the rules wins?" asked Gray
"It takes a long time to write the runes. It is not suited for a sudden battle, but when it comes to setting traps, there's nothing better." said Makarov
"Can you break it down with your magic, Master?" asked Naruto
"The rune's rules are absolute!" said Makarov
"Man, they planned for everything. So I guess we'll have to handle it ourselves." Gray said
"Gray…" Makarov said
"I don't care if he's your grandson or whatever, I ain't holding back." said Gray as his face is angry and won't hold back anymore. His magic is flowed up. "I'll get Laxus." He went after Raijinshuu first.
Makarov wasn't sure about Gray for fighting Laxus. He's not strong enough to defeat him. The strongest person who can only stop Laxus is Naruto Uzumaki. He's a ninja and powerful. Makarov is counting on him. Hopefully, he can beat his grandson and stopped his pride. "Naruto, I'm counting on you. You're only one who can beat Laxus" he said.
"Yeah, you can count on me!" said Naruto with a smirk, started to go after the Raijinshuu group.
Meanwhile, in the Fiore, every one of Fairy Tail members has been defeated by Freed, Bickslow, and Evergreen. The people of Fairy Tail have to fight each at other because Freed set the rival rule for them. The only left person is Naruto and the unknown person is left.
"Come on, Naruto." said Makarov.
"You can do it! Naruto!" cheered Happy
"Kick their ass!" yelled Natsu
"I'm sorry guys…" Naruto thought. He remembered he hurt his guild mates of Fairy Tail during the rival match. He felt bad for beating them all with his strength. He also hurt Gray. He has no choice to fight his friend. He can't forgive himself.
At that moment, he sees a yellow ray is going to hit him from the air. He dodged the attack with a Yellow Flash. But, he sees another attack. It's a green beam that was hitting him. Naruto jumped on the roof before it hits him. He sensed two people are here.
"Oh? You're the last man standing!" Bickslow said, standing on the flag pole and the one who shot the green beam. A group of floating block dolls is surrounding him as his pet.
"And he also looks handsome." said Evergreen, flying with her fairy wing and the one who shot the yellow ray at Naruto.
Naruto clenched his fist in anger as he glared at them for hurting his friends and guild mate. "Evergreen… Bickslow…" He said with angry.
"Should we take him out? Because it's not fair to fight two on one. " said Bickslow
"Of course, we can take him down together." Evergreen said
Naruto took out his kunai. "Come on!" he said.
"Get him, my babies!" yelled Bickslow as the floating block dolls started to shoot a green beam at Naruto.
He is running to the right as the green beam hit the ground or missed attack. Then, he jumped on the building roof and making the hand seal that can shoot at Bickslow. But, he sees Evergreen is flying and shoot the yellow rays at him. However, he made it on time for finishing the Jutsu before the Evergreen's attack reaches him.
"Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu)!" He yelled as he breathes huge blue fireball at Evergreen's attack. It crashes through the rays and reaching her. Evergreen dodged it by going to the right.
When she did that, a flying tri-pronged kunai went past her on a cheek. There's something a yellow paper on the handles. After watching that, Naruto sudden appeared to the kunai in the air. Evergreen's eyes widened for seeing him does that. She can't even feel his pressure on the ground.
"Dynamic Entry!" yelled Naruto, dropped kick on Evergreen in a face. It sent her crashed into the toy store.
Bickslow glared at Naruto for hurting Evergreen. "Oh no, you don't! Rain Fōmēshon (Line Formation)!" he yelled as his five of block dolls gathered in midair and then combine by standing on top of one another.
Naruto glances back at Bickslow in the air before block dolls shoot a large vertical crescent-shaped beam to Naruto. He dodged the shaped beam by doing a side flip and see the beam cut the building. He was close to dodge it. That beam can cut everything, but they're people over there which he sensed them.
"Bickslow, what the hell!? Trying to kill people!" He yelled.
Bickslow chuckled. "Kill him, babies!" The floating block dolls started to fire of blast towards Naruto.
Naruto dodged them by using tri-pronged kunai which it allows him to teleport. He went in Yellow Flash and got in the toy store before making fast hand seals.
"Fuuton Shinkuu Gyoku (Wind Style: Giant Vacuum Bullets)!" He yelled, breathing into several large sphere of wind chakra from his mouth. Its speed is so fast and hard to see it. The wind bullets shot through all of Bickslow's dolls.
"My babies!" shocked Bickslow as he watched his dolls fell on the ground.
Naruto quickly dashed forward to him and did a Konoha Senpuu in the head. He sent him crashed in the toy store, too. He jumped down and ran toward Bickslow again, but…
"Oh no, you don't!" Evergreen said as she shoots Fairy Ray towards to Naruto for not hurting her comrade.
Naruto back away from her ray, but he sees toys are floating in the air. He's pretty sure they were destroyed, but it's different. He didn't know Bickslow can do that.
"I have the ability to infused dolls with souls, and if you try destroying their dolls, I can transfer their souls to other dolls." explained Bickslow as he ordered his dolls to used beam at Naruto.
Naruto dodges them with his yellow flash, but Evergreen is right behind him.
"Take this!" She yelled as she's going to finish him, but Naruto quickly jumped over her by touching her back so that he can boost jump. He then used the Yellow Flash to get away from the Bickslow's attack.
"That was close." thought Naruto, landing on the street by sliding in his feet. He stopped in the middle of the street, seeing nobody around here. He was glad they're gone for not getting them hurt here, so that Bickslow and Evergreen won't hurt citizens.
"There he is!" yelled Evergreen, fully charging at Naruto as she's glowing a golden orb in her hands for preparing a fire at him. Bickslow is in the air as his new dolls are preparing for fully powered to blast Naruto.
Naruto chuckled as he took out of his Hiraishin Kunai for them, but he sees a child is running on the middle street. That's impossible, he pretty sure there's no one around here. Perhaps… someone tell her that leads her to here. The purple runes appeared from nowhere. It blocked right and left to make a child trapped in the narrowed wall.
"Shit!" He scolded as he quickly ran after for boy before Bickslow and Evergreen are going to destroy. But, it was too late for Naruto.
"You trapped!" yelled Bickslow as all five dolls spin around in a pentagonal pattern. And Evergreen shoots a torrent of energy needles at Naruto.
The child (it's a girl) got scared for getting hit by that energy blast, but a blond man went in front of him and blocked for him by risking the back to resist the blast. It hurt him like hell. He grunted in pain as his back of a body got blast by Bickslow and Evergreen.
"Got him!"
"Perfect hit!"
The little girl doesn't know what to say about Naruto. He saved her. He protected her from those bad people which are behind him. "O-Onii-san…" She said with a sad expression.
"Thank goodness, you're alright." He said
"I-I'm sorry, onii-san!"
"Hey, don't say sorry for me. More importantly, you're alright. And your parents will be sad for hearing you get hurt." He gave a warmth smile for her. "You should go home and stay with your parent, okay?"
"But…"
"No but. A good guy will never lose to bad guys." He's talking about Bickslow and Evergreen. "Believe me."
The girl nodded as she ran as fast as she can.
After she left, now Naruto stood up against Bickslow and Evergreen. He gave a death-glared at them. His injuries back are healing so fast.
"Impossible! He shouldn't be gone dead! In that case…" said Bickslow, removing his helm to reveal his true eyes. And also, Evergreen took her glasses to make Naruto into the stone. They're all have eyes ability and going to destroy him by using them.
"I will use my (Figyua Aisu) Figure Eyes to control you like a doll!" said Bickslow.
Suddenly, Naruto is already in front of them with his fastest speed. He gave them to his twin Rasengan to slam them into the ground. It crumpled the ground, making a big hole that was Rasengan attack.
Bickslow and Evergreen didn't even feel his aura… his real aura. It's like a shadow that covered. It's evil, darkness, and red aura. Their eyes cannot affect to Naruto's eyes. It should be, but nothing happened to him.
"What is this monster pressure? His eyes are…" thought Evergreen.
Naruto choked her in a neck as he held the Rasengan in the hand. "Release them now or else…" He said in a deep voice.
"Ok! Ok!" Evergreen said as she dispels her stone magic to free Lucy and the others girls.
Naruto vs. Bickslow and Evergreen: Winner Naruto Uzumaki.
"Hell yeah!" Natsu cheers
"Not bad." Gajeel said with a smile as he crossed arms.
"Amazing, he just took down Bickslow and Evergreen by himself." said Makarov in belief.
At that moment, the girls are finally returned back to their real body after Evergreen defeated. Erza fell down on the ground as she goes into battle mode. She remembered she was caught by Evergreen.
"What happened? I remembered Evergreen used her eyes to stone me into a stone, but where's everybody?" She asked.
Natsu and Makarov were surprised to see them alive.
"Erza!" They said
"Master? Natsu?" She asked.
"What happened here?" asked Lucy.
"You're all turned into a stone!" said Natsu as Lucy and the girls shocked.
Erza went to Makarov and wanted to know what happened here after they turned into stone. "Master, what happened?! Where's everyone?!" She asked.
Makarov sighed for telling her bad news about people of Fairy Tail guild mate. "Everyone left to after Laxus, but they have to face each other in Freed's rune." He said
"Laxus…" growled Erza.
"Don't worry. Naruto already took Bickslow and Evergreen to set your girls free."
"Naruto did?"
"He made a promise to you that he'll save your life and everyone."
"Naruto…" said Erza in a softy voice.
"You know you used the forbidden Jutsu on them." said Kurama
Naruto is running in the city to find Freed. "I know that. They pissed me off. I have to, but I will never use this again." He said, but he noticed something in few moment. He stopped at the street, looking up at the sky. He sees a ball with a lightning inside. He had a bad feeling something about this. Strangely, he heard a magic sound is going to strike him from behind, so he jumped over. Naruto dodged the magic, but he sees Freed was flying who attack him.
"Freed, it was you who trap everyone and made them fight each other!" He yelled as he's pointing at him.
"It's Laxus's rule. I have to follow it." Freed said
"They were your comrades and you hurt them…" Naruto said with angry as his aura is rising up. "I won't forgive you and you're going to pay for this!"
