I Don't Own Naruto or Fairy Tail!

Prophecy Rebirth - Chapter 8

Naruto was fiddling with his high collared black jacket as he walked down the mellow road that connected Fairy Hills to Fairy Tail. The boy had an annoyed look on his face as he tried to push the clothing pushing against his neck out of the way, he didn't like having them brush against his skin everytime he took a step. The small little thing had been bugging Naruto the whole morning, so much so that he wasn't even taking in the beautiful features the morning offered.

"I don't like this jacket..." muttered the boy with a slight pout.

Erza was walking beside the boy with a smile on her face, she found Naruto's annoyance to be quite cute. Mirajane had bought Naruto another full wardrobe of clothes during the week Erza was gone, and Naruto looked great in them. The bar-maid even bough clothes to fit teenagers since she knew that Naruto would be having another growth spurt soon.

Erza ruffled Naruto's hair with a giggle. "Just leave it alone Naruto-chan, it looks really good on you." Erza had a fun time dressing up Naruto in the morning. She chose a high collared black jacket, under a white t-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and a pair of simple runners. "Mira would also want you to wear the clothes she bought you."

Naruto nodded. "Okay..."

The S-Class mage smiled and crossed her arms together. "Why don't you show me what I taught you last night?" asked Erza with a smirk on her face.

Naruto instantly had a bright smile on her face as he looked up at Erza. "Okay, Er-chan!" The boy reached his hand out in front of him and concentrated his energy. Naruto smiled when he felt a familiar surge of power in his hand, and a second later, the space in his palm started to glow as a shape of a Katana. A few seconds later, the light died down and Naruto's Katana emerged in his hand.

Erza smiled proudly and leaned down to kiss Naruto's head. "Good job, Naruto-chan!"

Erza took a few hours the previous night to explain to Naruto what exactly was Requip Magic, and taught him how to access his Requip space. Much to the surprise of the S-Class mage, Naruto took in her explaination like a sponge in water, and in a few hours, he could already requip his Katana. Erza still didn't know how much space Naruto has in his space, but she was planning to teach Naruto many sword styles so he could seal all his weapons inside.

Naruto looked up at Erza with a pleading look. "Can I train with the Katana now?"

The red haired beauty almost gave in to Naruto's pleading eyes, but shook her head nonetheless. "No Naruto-chan, you know it is too dangerous to use here."

Naruto pouted but sealed his blade back to his Requip space. "Okay..."

Erza was seriously proud and impressed by Naruto, he was indeed a very talented young boy. While most of Naruto's abilities don't really resemble magic at all, he was still very powerful for his age and would be a fine addition to Fairy Tail in a few years, or days if Mirajane's assumptions were correct. While Erza was still confused on her feelings about Naruto fully growing up, she still wanted to see what he was capable of as an adult. If being a young boy, Naruto already had such powerful ablities, he might be able to surpass her when he fully reverts back to normal.

Naruto rubbed his belly and looked up at Erza. "Can we get some Ramen when we get to the guild?"

The red haired beauty smirked and nodded. "Sure, Ramen is not really a good breakfast, but we can have it once in a while."

Naruto grinned and nodded up at Erza. "Great!"

As the two continued their morning walk back to the guild, they both saw that there was something wrong with the guild building. Erza narrowed her eyes as she picked up Naruto into her arms and sped up her walk to the guild. Erza was become more and more shocked as she approached the guild, it seems that something had gone terribily wrong.

"W-What is this?!" exclaimed Erza as she started to run towards the guild.

Naruto pointed at the building in confusion. "What is that?"

The walls and roof of the guild building had appeared to be pierced by many iron poles and its condition was quite bad. Spider-cracks were all along the damaged walls and tiles. The whole thing seemed like some kind of iron bomb blew up from within and the debris had all remained. One iron pole even pierced the main Fairy Tail name on the front of the building.

Erza ran into the guild, ignoring the gathered crowd in the area. "Mira!" cried the S-Class mage as she looked around for her best friend. "What the hell happened?!"

"Erza!" cried a frantic Lucy as she ran into the guild along with Gray and Natsu.

Natsu had a look of untamed anger in his eyes as he looked at the damage done to the guild. "Who did this?..." grounded out the Dragon Slayer through his teeth.

"Phantom..." Everyone turned back to see a distressed Mirajane with her eyes to the ground. "It seems that someone from Phantom did this last night..."

Gray gritted his teeth and walked forward. "Where is the Master, Mira-chan?"

Mirajane looked up at her friends and pointed down. "Everyone is in the basement for now..."

Erza nodded. "Okay, lets go!"

The group quickly migrated to the basement to speak to the Master about the situation. All the while, Mirajane was trailed behind the group with a disheartened look on her face. Naruto, who was looking back while in Erza's arms, frowned and reached out for his surroagate sister.

"Mira-nee..." muttered the boy with a frown in his own. "Don't be sad..."

Mirajane nodded and held Naruto's small hand in her own. "I'm alright, Naru-chan, don't worry about me."

Naruto patted Mirajane's cheek. "Smile..."

Mirajane could help but giggle at Naruto. "Thank you, Naru-chan..." whispered the model softly as she ruffled Naruto's hair.

The group made it into the basement and they saw that most people were just sitting around on the crates and tables having their usual drinks. Erza. Gray and Lucy could see the fustration and anger everyone had, and completely understood. Fairy Tail is their home, and everyone would naturally be angry seeing it was attacked, but why aren't they doing anything? Natsu marched up to a slightly drunk Master Makarov and stood in front of him.

"JI-CHAN!" cried the Dragon Slayer loudly. "WHY ARE YOU ALL STILL SITTING AROUND DOWN HERE?!"

Makarov gave Natsu a look before he took a sip from his cup again. "You are too loud Natsu, pipe down and relax."

Natsu's anger flared. "How the hell can I relax when the guild was attacked?!" cried the young man as he waved his fists around. "Lets go teach Phantom a lesson now!"

The Master sighed. "Chill out Natsu, this is nothing to worry about..." The group stared at the Master in shock. "This is all those Phantom losers can do anyway...attacking an empty guild at night." Makarov drank his whole drink and sighed. "They are all cowards and we are better than them..."

Natsu had flames coming out of his ears. "No way, I will not let this slide until we go over there and smash their guild!"

Makarov looked up at the young man. "This discussion is over" said the man as he jumped down to the ground and hurried to the bathroom. "I have to take a piss..."

Natsu sighed and sat down on the nearest crate. "Why the hell is Ji-chan so easy about all this?!"

Mirajane looked down to the ground with a frown. "Natsu...this is very hard for Master as well." began the girl softly. "Attacks between guilds are prohibited by the council, so if we openly attack them, we will be in great trouble."

The Dragon Slayer grabbed his head in fustration. "But they are the ones who started it!"

Erza sighed. "If the Master made his choice...there is nothing we can do about it."

Lucy Heartfilia was dragging her pack behind her along with Plue as she made her way back to her apartment. It has been a tiring day and the guild was filled with aplpable tension that made Lucy feel uncomfortable. Lucy could only wonder why Phantom Lord, one of the largest guilds in Fiore, would suddenly start to attack Fairy Tail. Lucy hoped that it was just one stray mage in Phantom that was causing all these problems, and soon everything would be explained...

The blonde girl walked up to her apartment building and walked in with a sigh. "I'm finally home..." Lucy had a bright smile on her face as she planned to enjoy a long hot bath in her nice bathroom. When the girl walked into her room, instead of bein greeting with the usual darkness, she saw her friends smiling back at her.

"Welcome home!" greeted Erza, Gray, Natsu, Happy and Naruto.

Lucy's jaw dropped and quickly threw her pack at Natsu. "What the hell?!"

Erza chuckled as she sipped on a cup of tea. "Sorry for inviting ourselves over, but seeing that Phantom Lord is targeting us for the moment, Mira recommended us to stay in groups at night just in case they try to ambush us."

Lucy nodded in understanding. "I see...but why is it at my place?" whined the girl lightly.

Happy hovered in front of Lucy. "We will be switching places everynight, tomorrow we can all go to me and Natsu's place!"

Lucy sighed and sat down next to her friends at her coffee table. "Fine..."

Natsu got back to the table with a huff and sat down. "I hate how we aren't going to fight back at Phantom..." grumbled the Dragon Slayer as he crossed his arms over his chest. "We the hell is Ji-chan being to calm about all this...they attacked us!"

Erza sighed. "As Mira said before, blatant attacks between guilds are banned by the council, we can't just march over there to start a fight." explained the red haired beauty. "Can even we are to attack Phantom, it will not be with no losses...power wise, we are both about even."

Gray rose an eyebrow. "Really?" asked the young man, thinking about Erza, Laxus, Mystogan and Gildarts.

Erza nodded. "Yes...they also have their number of S-Class mages, such as Element 4 and Black Steel Gajeel...the Iron Dragon Slayer."

Lucy's eyes widened in shock. "You mean there are other Dragon Slayers beside Natsu?!" cried the girl as she looked over at her partner.

Erza nodded grimmly. "That is not all, the Master of Phantom Lord is a member of the Ten Magic Saints, just like our Master." Lucy was once again shocked by the news. "If two members of the Ten Wizard Saints are to clash, the result would be catalismic!" An awkward silence enveloped the group as everyone was thinking of what to do if Phantom's assults continued...

Naruto was giggling as he ran over from Erza to Lucy and patted her leg. "Lucy-nee, can we play this game?!" The boy had been exploring Lucy's home ever since he arrived, and he finally found the game Lucy and Levi taught him to play a few days ago. It was a Memory Cards Game. Lucy wanted to test Naruto of his memory, so she taught him how to play the game, and Naruto did exceptionally well. The boy had a very good memory and could generally finish the game within a few minutes.

Lucy was glad Naruto was here to ease the tension. "Sure Naruto-chan!" chirped the girl as she patted the boy's head.

Erza had a smile on her face as she cleared the table of the glasses and plates. "Okay...hand me the cards Naruto-chan." Naruto happily handed his favorite person the deck of cards as he sat quietly for her to lay the cards out. Natsu, Gray and Lucy were all sitting around the table watching the game seeing that they have nothing to do anyway. Lucy had a smile on her face as she waiting to see if Naruto had gotten better since the last time he played the game.

"Okay..." said Erza was she finished laying all the cards face up for a few seconds. "Take a good look Naruto-chan..."

Natsu and Gray were also looking down at the cards, hoping to help the boy if he needed any help later...

Lucy and Erza smirked as the former turned Naruto away and the latter flipped the cards to face down. Natsu and Gray both thought it was too short of a time for the boy to memorize anything, they barely memorized a quarter of the cards...

Lucy giggled and turned Naruto back. "Okay, go ahead Naruto-chan!"

The boy had a smile on his face as he jumped to the table in joy. Naruto flipped one pair after another effortlessly, and in a few seconds, he had already flipped through a quarter of the cards. The others looked at the boy in shock as he continued to flip on pair ofter another, it seemed that he had memorized the position of all the cards. Naruto had to stand up taller to reach the cards on the far side of the table, but he managed to flip them as well, and soon he was finished.

Naruto turned back to Lucy and smiled. "Done!"

Natsu's jaw was agape. "How the hell did you do that Naruto?!" Gray just nodded along.

Erza looked over at Lucy with widened eyes. "Did Naruto-chan do this last time?"

Lucy shook her head in shock. "No way...it took him several minutes last time, and he got some of the wrong last time!"

Naruto grinned as he looked at the shocked faces of the people around him. "Can we play again?!"

Erza pulled the boy onto her lap facing her and looked down at him with a shocked face. "How did you do that Naruto-chan, did you really remember where everything was?"

"Yep!" chirped the boy with a smile.

Lucy chuckled lightly and looked at the boy. "How did you remembered all that so fast, Naruto-chan?"

Naruto giggled. "I do something with my eyes and look down at the cards." explained the boy as he waved his hands in the air. "Then I can remember everything!"

Natsu scratched the back of his head. "Ummm, do what with you eyes?"

Naruto grinned. "This!"

Everyone stared at Naruto in shock as his sky blue eyes suddenly morphed into something entirely different. Naruto's eyes turned crimson red with two odd tomoes around his pupil. Erza absentmindedly felt Naruto's energy jump a little in power since he activated his eyes, and she felt like Naruto's new eyes had some sort of power in them. Naruto giggled as he looked up at the stunned crowd, with his new eyes Naruto would see in weird colors of everyone's energy, and Erza was the soft scarlet red that made Naruto feel safe.

Gray pointed at the red eyes in a little shock. "What the hell is that?!"

Natsu scratched his head in confusion. "So it is some sort of eye magic?"

Erza nodded seriously. "I'm guessing that it is something like Evergreen's eyes...but these eyes give Naruto-chan editic memory." said the S-Class mage before she looked over at Lucy. "Lucy, have you or Levi ever seen Naruto-chan use these eyes before?"

Lucy shook her head. "Never...I am just as surprised as all of you."

Happy floated in front of Naruto. "These eyes are kind of weird..."

Erza looked down at the boy again and held his shoulders. "Naruto-chan, since when were you able to use those eyes?"

Naruto tilted his head to the side in thought. "Ummm, two days ago?..."

Erza sighed and pulled Naruto into a hug. "This is too exhausting, lets just all go to bed and deal with this tomorrow..."

Lucy sighed in relief and nodded. "Good, I am too tired tonight to think about this..." Natsu, Gray and Happy all shrugged and followed the women's orders and drifted off to find a place to sleep in the small room. Lucy had decided to share the bed with Erza and Naruto, so the three of them made way over to the bed and laid down. Naruto slept in between Lucy and Erza, but was not too comfortable seeing that both Erza and Lucy's ample breasts were pressed up against his sides in their position...

Morning broke the the serene town of Magnolia, and the sunlight seeped into the closed eyes of Naruto. The boy wiggled around in his sleep as he rubbed his eyes. As usual, Naruto woke up with Erza's arms wrapped around him. Naruto loved waking up like that, Erza always made him feel warm and safe. Naruto yawned before he snuggled back against Erza's chest and closed his eyes, he was still a little sleepy and everyone else was still sleeping.

Suddenly, a series of knocks on the door woke Naruto up again, along with everyone else in the room. "W-Who is it?..." mumbled a drowsy Lucy as she sat up on the bed and rubbed her eyes.

"Lucy, its me, Mirajane!" cried the familiar voice of the guild manager. "Something terrible has happened!"

Erza groggily sat up as well with Naruto and looked over at the clock. 'It is still so early...' The S-Class mage sighed as she requip her usual Heart Kreuz Armor and walked over to the door. "Coming Mira..." Erza pulled the door open. "Good morning..."

Everyone woke up fully when the say the sad look on Mirajane's face and quickly got up to face the girl. "What happened, Mira-chan?" asked Gray concerned.

Mirajane grabbed Erza's hand and pulled her out of the door. "Come with me...something happened last night?"

"M-Mira!" exclaimed Erza as she was pulled away by her best friend. "Where are we going?!"

Natsu and Gray quickly followed behind, while Lucy picked up Naruto had ran behind them with Happy. Lucy was still a bit drowsy from being woken up so abruptly, but the cold morning wind and sudden tension cleared her mind. Naruto was rubbing his eyes while he rested his head against Lucy's shoulder, he was still sleepy. The boy used Lucy's shoulder for support as he pushed himself up to look at his surroundings. It was still quite early in the morning so the streets were relatively empty, but there seem to be a crowd gathered at the town park.

"Lucy-nee, whats going on?" asked the boy as he pointed over to the crowd.

Lucy, along with the rest of her team, all stood in shock as they looked up at the three people who were hung on the large tree by their hands. "L-Levi-chan?..." muttered Lucy as tears welled up in her eyes.

Natsu had fire burning in his eyes as he gripped his fists in anger. "Jet...Droy."

Gray's eyes widened when he saw the symbol labelled on his friends' torsos. "Phantom Lord..." growled out the Ice Mage through gritted teeth.

Erza's gauntlet was straining against her arm guards as she tried to supress her rage. "Damn them..."

Naruto looked frightened as he wrapped his arms around Lucy's neck. "Levi-nee?" whimpered the boy as he looked up at his kind teacher. The blue haired girl had wounds all over her body and brusies the size of soccer balls. Tears well up in Naruto's eyes as he jumped off of Lucy's arms and walked up closer to the scene.

Erza quickly took hold of Naruto's hand and kept him from going closer. "Stay here, Naruto-chan."

A very peculiar and powerful magical signature appeared behind the group, and they looked back to see Makarov making his way toward the scene. The Master's face was void of emotions as his eyes remained glued to his fallen children. Makarov was wearing his Ten Magic Saints jacket as his magical aura flared, reminding everyone that he was the most powerful Mage in Fairy Tail.

"It is one thing to attack our empty guild..." muttered the old man as he held his fists tightly. "...but to ambush three of my children, that draws the line." Natsu, Erza and Gray, all looked over at the Master in question.

Naruto looked at the old man questioningly. "Jiji?"

"THIS MEANS WAR!"

The lot of Fairy Tail Mages all followed the Master to the Phantom Lord Guild to take revenge on them for putting Levy, Jet and Droy in the Hospital. The three young mages were severely beaten, and had multiple fractures throughout their body. Porlyusica was able to heal them back to a ideal state, and they were slowly recuperating in a deep slumber. Lucy had been tasked with watching over her three friends as well as look after Naruto, who Erza had deemed too young to go with them.

Naruto had wanted to follow Erza to fight with Phantom, but both Erza and the Master had restricted him from going into war at such a young age. The boy was not happy about it as he was also very angry that his darling teacher and surrogate sister was hurt so badly. Naruto wanted to avenge his sister with his guild, he wanted to place his share of effort for his family, but unfortunately he was denied any chance to fight because of his young age...

"What do you want to eat tonight, Naruto-chan?" asked a smilling Lucy as she held the boy's hand as they walked. "I bought many things for us tonight, do you want some sushi?"

Naruto was still a little bummed out after being left out, but smile up at Lucy nonetheless. "Can we have Ramen, Lucy-nee?"

Lucy smiled and patted the boy's head. "Oh come on Naruto-chan, you just had Ramen this afternoon!"

The boy stared up at Lucy with his big blue eyes and pouted. "But it's good..." whined the Naruto skillfully. "Please, Lucy-nee."

The blonde beauty's will quickly vanished after seeing the boy's adorable expression. "Fine...I swear, you are just as bad with Ramen as Happy is to fish."

Naruto giggled and hugged Lucy's legs. "Thank you, Lucy-nee!"

As the two blondes continued their way back to Lucy's apartment, they stopped when they saw someone walking towards them further down the alleyway. Soon, a woman holding onto a parasol was revealed, which was already weird because it was not raining. It was as if their thoughts jinxed the moment as rain suddenly began to pour heavily into their blonde hair. Lucy and Naruto both kept their sights locked onto the woman, and eventually saw that she had blue hair and a rather pale complexion.

"Falling ever so gently..." whispered the strange woman to herself as she neared the two blondes. "Juvia is the rain-woman..."

Lucy nudged Naruto closer to her as she narrowed her eyes at the blue haired woman. "Who are you?..."

The woman just maintained her gaze onto the other end of the alleyway. "What kind of woman are you?..." she muttered as she walked passed Lucy and Naruto. "This was nice...farewell."

Naruto looked up at Lucy. "What was that?"

Lucy chuckled almost sheepishly. "I have no idea..."

"Non, non, non, non. non!" droned out an annoying voice from seeming under the ground as the calmly laid-out road on the ground began to shift. A phallus started to emerge from the ground, and soon it shifted again to reveal a very skinny man wearing a brown suit and a monacle. "You shouldn't walk away from you job, Juvia-sama." said the man as he slid back to stand beside the blue haired woman. "I believe this young woman here is our cible."

Lucy's eyes widened and took a stop back with Naruto. "Cible...target?!"

The man tilted his body to the side with a hand on his monacle. "Sorry for the belated introductions, but I am Sol of Element 4, you can call me, Monsieur Sol."

Lucy gritted her teeth and held Naruto's hand tighter. "Element 4...Phantom!"

Sol smirked. "Qui, we both have come to invite you back to our headquarters to meet with our Master."

Lucy stepped back and pushed Naruto behind her. 'These are the people who hurt Levi-chan and the others!' Lucy reached for her keys as she glared at the two enemies. "How dare you?!" Naruto watched in shock as Lucy was suddenly confined in a floating orb of water. "What is this..." choked out Lucy. "Let me out!"

Juvia remained emotionless as she held her hand out to control the water. "Juvia's Water Lock is unbreakable, but don't worry, Juvia will not kill you, Lucy Heartfilia-sama." Lucy's eyes widened at the implication. "Afterall, you are the main target of our mission, you Father, Jude Heartfilia-sama really wants his daughter back home."

Lucy was beginning to seep into unconsciouness, but suddenly, she felt two little arms pull her backwards. "Let go of Lucy-nee!" cried Naruto as he grabbed onto Lucy's waist in the water. "HHAAAA!" Naruto channeled his energy and commanded himself to create his clones. In less than a second, the orb of water was filled with many copies of Naruto clones, and soon it gave way under the growing weight and pressure.

Juvia's eyes widened at the sight of her magic failing. "What?..."

Sol was holding his monacle to his eye. "Non, non..."

Naruto held a panting Lucy's hand as he pulled. "Come on Lucy-nee, we have to run!"

Lucy forced herself to her feet and let them carry her out of the narrow alleyway. Naruto was running right beside his surrogate sister as he activated his red eyes and looked back at the pursuing enemies. Juvia and Sol were both hiding within their elements, the former traveling as a flowing puddle of water, and the latter traveling underground. But Naruto's special eyes could reveal their precise locations. The boy pushed Lucy forward and stopped in his tracks.

"You go, Lucy-nee!" cried the boy as she re-quiped his Katana.

Lucy's eyes widened as she instantly stopped and turned back. "No way Naruto-chan, you are coming with me!"

Naruto's eyes saw that Sol was right under him, so he quickly jumped into the air and glared down to the ground. "Kazekiri no Jutsu!" exclaimed the boy naturally as he slashed his blade down. An invisible, cresent blade of wind sliced through the air and collided with the ground. The blocks of the road were instantly torn apart by the powerful wind blade, and Sol was barely able to dodge the strike himself. The cement road had a large scar in the middle that reached at least thirty feet in length.

Naruto's eyes remained locked onto Sol as he desended from his jump. "Take this!" cried the boy as he landed a very solid kick right in the man's face.

"NON!" cried the man in pain as he was sent deeper into the ground, head first.

Lucy had a large grin on her face. "Wow, go Naruto-chan!"

Juvia forced herself out of her shocked induced stupor and regained her senses. "Water Nebula!" exclaimed the woman as she blasted a verocious stream of water from her palm.

Naruto found that his eyes was helping him predict the movements of his opponents, and he was able to easily dodge the water attack. "Kazekiri!" cried the boy again as he fired a blade of wind at Juvia. But the woman simply let the blade slice through her body, which suffered no harm at all because she was made out of water. Naruto's eyes widned as he continued to fire rapid blades of wind, but they too, had no effect on Juvia.

With several puffs of smoke, twenty clones of Naruto appeared, fifteen of which, had ran over to Lucy. "Lets go, Lucy-nee!" cried the group of kids as they lifted Lucy over their arms and started to run away.

Lucy was scared, not for herself, but for her surrogate little brother. "Run with me, Naruto-chan!" cried the girl loudly. "Its dangerous!"

Juvia lifted her hands, and Naruto was instantly on guard. "I do not want to hurt you, little boy..."

Naruto glared at the woman with his five remaining clones. "I won't let you take Lucy-nee!" The six Naruto's, all started to fire consecutive slashes of wind at the woman. The destruction behind the woman was extensive, as the building behind the fight was almost razed to the ground because of the lack of support. Loud sounds of wind clashing against walls and the ground resonated throughout the area, and people who could hear were starting to run away from the scene.

Juvia's emotionless eyes locked onto Naruto's own red eyes. "Out of my way." With a wave of a hand, a heavy wave of water crashed into Naruto and his clones. The clones were destroyed by the heavy attack, and the original Naruto was sent twenty feet backwards onto the street.

Naruto gritted his teeth as he stood up...suddenly he could feel something in his head...like remembering something from an old dream.

Juvia was walking past Naruto, planning to pursue Lucy, but the boy jumped in front of her again. "Juvia do not want to hurt you...but if you keep blocking my way, I will have no choice."

Naruto sped towards the woman as he focused his power. "You are made out of water so I can't cut you...but I can push you!" The boy made a weird sign with his hands and breathed in. "Futon: Daitopa!" A strong gale of wind blasted from Naruto's mouth. It was a solid wall of wind, and it forced Juvia's water body back.

"Ughhh!" grunted Juvia as she was pushed backwards against a wall, her body flattened a little because of the force.

Naruto quickly made ten more clones. "Daitopa!" cried each of the clones as they also started to send strong blasts of wind at Juvia. The water body of the Element 4 started to breakdown and revert back to liquid form as it was forced deeper and deeper against the flat wall. The attacks did not hurt Juvia at all, but they locked her in place. The rapid attacks of Naruto didn't give Juvia enough time to recover her body and slip away.

The orginal Naruto began to back away to meet up with Lucy, and left his clones to continue their attacks until they ran out of power...

The attack on Phantom Lord was a total faliure...not only did Fairy Tail did not manage to take out Gajeel, Makarov had also been ambushed and was in horrible condition. Erza had to reside to a retreat at the loss of the Master, without their leader the battle will only go in Phantom's favor. The Fairy Tail mages rushed back to their own guild to recuperate and rest. There were not a lot of injured members, but the Master was still in critical condition...

"Why did you tell us that you are the heiress to the Heartfilia family?..." asked Happy as he looked up at Lucy.

Lucy was sitting on a crate with a crestfallen look. "I didn't mean to hide it, but I ran away from home...it is not something that is easy for me to tell." muttered the girl softly. "But why would he do this...all this effort just to get me back, I've been away for a year already and he never seemed to care."

Natsu placed a comforting hand on Lucy's shoulder and knelt down to look her in the eyes. "I don't care why, if you don't want to go back then we will all help you!" declared the Dragon Slayer with a smile. "You are Fairy Tail's Lucy, and we protect our comrades!"

Lucy looked up and saw the smiling faces of many of her friends, which included Natsu, Happy, Naruto, Elfman, Gray, and Cana. "Thank you..."

Naruto giggled and hugged Lucy's arm. "We will protect you, Lucy-nee!"

Lucy smiled and hugged the boy close to her chest. "You already protected me, Naruto-chan..." Lucy had told the others about what Naruto did, and everyone was shocked and proud of what Naruto did. "If you weren't there, I would have already been taken."

Natsu smiled and patted Naruto's head. "Good job, Naruto!"

Elfman smiled and nodded. "It is hard to believe that such a young kid could already be so strong...to be able to hold back to of the Element 4 and help Lucy escape."

Gray nodded with a smirk. "Yeah, this kid is going to be more powerful than all of us."

The sound of shattering glass broke everyone out of their conversations, and they looked over to the source of the sound to see Mirajane holding her fists tightly as tears rolled down her face. Mirajane had tried to convince Laxus to come back to help the guild, but the dispicable man would only come back if Lucy agreed to be his woman. The Take-over mage could no longer take it and she smashed the video-lacrima to pieces.

Cana reached out to her friend. "Mira..."

Mirajane sniffed and wiped her tears. "How can there be someone like that is our guild?..." cried the barmaid as she shook. "Next time...I am coming with you all!"

Cana grabbed her friend's hand and shook her head. "No...you won't be able to help the way you are now, even though you used to be a S-Class Mage."

The guild seem to be covered in a veil of silence...but suddenly, the ground shook violently. Then a few seconds later, again. There seem to be more and more shakes, and they were becoming more and more frequent...

The Mages all ran outside and readied themselves for an incoming attack...but they never expected what they saw...

It was a traveling guild hall. The large edifice of a hundred feet was actually walking on six mechanical legs across the ocean. It's imposing structure casted a large shadow over Fairy Tail, and it's loud footsteps shook the very foundations of Magnolia. All the members watched on on shock as the enemy neared them, none of them ever thought that Phantom would be attacking like so. Even Erza, who was still clad in a towel, watched on in horror as the towering structure looked down upon them.

"I-I never expected this..." muttered the red haired beauty.

Suddenly, a large wall on the Phantom Guild Hall started to slide down, and revealed a large steel cannon that was emerging from it's confines. Everyone watched on on shock as a black energy gathered around the head of the cannon, and contorted into a ball of indescribable power...

Erza's eyes widened as she quickly turned back to her comrades. "Take cover, now!" Erza's eyes scanned the crowd as she cried out her message, and her eyes lingered on the sight of Naruto much longer than the others. The boy had fear in his eyes, and he was looking at her with great worry. Erza silently acknowledged that Naruto was in fact, more worried about her than himself, the boy was very worried about her.

The ball of black energy grew in size, and was about half the size of Phantom's Guild Hall...

Erza suddenly ran forward as she re-quipped into her Adamantine Armor, her strongest defensive armor. "I said, take cover!"

Mirajane gasped as she held her hands to her lips. "She isn't planning to take it head on...is she?"

Natsu cried out as he tried to run forward. "Erza!" Gray held his friend back by his arms, but the Dragon Slayer was relentless.

Naruto had widened eyes as he activated his red eyes, and Mirajane had her arms around him in case he tried to run up. "Er-chan?..."

With the sound of the cannon being fired, Naruto could no longer hear a sound. His eyes were locked onto Erza as the blast came closer and closer to her, and his eyes made the whole scene slower. Naruto felt his body go numb when the blast collided with Erza's shield. He could see the strained look on Erza's face from where he was standing, as well as the cracks that began to show on her shield. Then, after what seemed like an eternity for Naruto, Erza's shield was blasted into pieces and she was sent barreling back on the ground.

Others looked at the scene with shock and awe, seeing how Erza managed to stop the Jupiter Cannon by herself...but Naruto's mind didn't even pick up on the cannon.

As if he was being controlled, Naruto's legs started to move on their own and made him run toward Erza as fast as he could. The cries of Mirajane and Lucy grew faint in his ears, all Naruto cared about was getting to Erza's side. A sense of desperation made him run faster than he had ever been before, and in under a second, he was by her side.

"Er-chan?" whispered a wide eyed Naruto as he knelt down next to Erza's unconscious body. A growing horror seeped up from Naruto's heart, and his entire being was taken over by fear and desperation. The ground around Naruto began to shake as the boy's power surged dangerously powerful. The red eyes of Naruto each gained one more tomoe as he stared down at the closed eyes of Erza's.

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Everyone in Fairy Tail looked on in shock as Naruto's body suddenly began to glow a bright white. The boy's body began to change as he grew rapidly in front of everyone's eyes, and his power grew along with it. Naruto's clothes began to rip under the stress of his changing body, and his T-shirt fell to the ground. His long pants strained against the growing muscles in his legs, but managed to stay in one piece, though it was now shorts. And the simple pair of runners Naruto was wearing ripped, and left Naruto bare-feet on the ground.

The light dead down, and everyone looked on in shock as a teenaged Naruto was revealed. He looked to be about thirteen years old, but his muscles suggested differently. The boy already had a body rippling with compacted muscles as his hair grew a little longer than before, his twin bangs now reached the bottom of his cheeks. His tri-tomoe red eyes barred straight at the Phantom Guild Hall as his power rolled off of his body in potent waves.

The tattoo on his arm started to glow and a puff of smoke emitted from it. A tri-pronged Kunai appeared in Naruto's right hand as he stood up...finally shifting his sight from Erza's body.

With a vicious glare in his eyes, Naruto looked up at the Phantom Guild with his Kunai held tightly in his hand. "PHANTOM LORD!"

The End! XD

Oh I am such an asshole!

I am very sorry to stop at such a point, but I am very tired and it is very late, so this is as much as I am going to write for this chapter. The next chapter will be out soon, I promise! :)

PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW!
