I Don't Own Naruto or Fairy Tail!

Prophecy Rebirth - Chapter 10

Naruto stared into the dark eyes of Jose Porla as he flared his own power to stand his ground strong. The man in front of the blond was obviously much more powerful than his subordinates; it was the power of one of the Ten Magic Saints. Jose's power felt dark and evil and it made the large room feel enclosed and cold. Naruto was glaring at the man with his Sharingan and was calmly analyzing the man's power. The dark purple energy Naruto could see through his special eyes felt very dark and tainted, as if it was pure venom.

Gray and Elfman jumped forward, one on each side of Naruto. "Get ready!" cried the Ice Mage as he narrowed his eyes at the Phantom Leader. The two young men had never felt such malicious Magic before. Jose's presence resembled death.

Mirajane held a hand over her mouth as she paled. 'I am feeling nauseous just being near him...'

Erza grunted as she forced herself to focus despite her severe fatigue and injuries. She knew very well that Jose will be a very difficult foe to face, and their chance of victory was very slim. But Fairy Tail was too close to victory to quit, Jose was the last adversary and if they defeat him it will all be over. Erza pushed herself mentally to ready herself for a very serious battle, but the lingering thought of Naruto being in the battle made Erza very distracted and worried.

Natsu's mind was on a completely different matter as he glared at Jose. "You...why do you have Lucy's scent on you?!" cried the Dragon Slayer with untamed rage as his flames surrounded his fists.

Naruto and the other's eyes widened. "What...did they catch Lucy-nee?!"

Jose smirked and chuckled softly. "I should have known you would find out, you are a Dragon Slayer after all, so you have that annoying nose." said the man nonchalantly as he shrugged. "But I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about it, because I am going to kill you all right here and now."

Natsu's flames flared more as he roared. "YOU BASTARD!"

Erza grunted as her wounds stung her sides. "Natsu!" cried the woman as she gained the attention of her surrogate little brother. "We'll take care of Jose, you have to go rescue Lucy!"

The Dragon Slayer seemed to have calmed down a little at his newest task, but maintained his angry glare at Jose. The Phantom leader chuckled as he shook his head at the Fairy Tail group, as if he was very amused by the whole situation. The smirk on the man's face made Natsu even angrier than before, and his task of turning away from the fight with Jose became increasingly difficult. But the image of a smiling Lucy drifted into his mind, and that immediately tamed most of his anger. The Heartfilia girl had become very precious person in Natsu's life, and he would die before he would allow Phantom to take her.

Gray looked back at his friend seriously. "We will make an opening for you!" said the Ice Mage as he discreetly gestured over to the side door to the next room.

Jose started to chuckle as he shook his head in disappointment. "Do you really think you lot would be able to distract me enough for your little dragon to slip through?" muttered the man amused as he continued to chuckle at the Fairy Tail members. "I guess it should be expected of you Fairy Tail mages."

Elfman growled as he charged at Jose. "Take Over: Beast's Arm!" The man's arms transformed to that of a beast, which was covered in scales and giant muscles.

Gray mirrored his friend's action as he placed his right fist on his left palm. "Ice Make: Lance!" Several long ice spear-like shards shot away from Gray's adjoined hands towards Jose.

Erza stepped forward with her blade. "NATSU, NOW!"

As the Dragon Slayer dashed towards the door, Jose held his hand up against the two mages' attacks and a purple Magic Circle appeared. "Useless..." muttered the man as purple blasts of energy shot out of the circle. Each of the small shards of energy had a face of a skull, and the moved at great speeds. Before Gray or Elfman could land their attacks, they were both struck by several blasts and were blown back by the miniature explosions.

Erza growled as Mirajane tried to get a better view of her brother. "Elfman!" cried the worried sister loudly. "Gray!"

Natsu was almost at the door, but he was also stopped when several of Jose's blasts landed in front of him. The shockwaves created by the blasts forced Natsu backwards a few feet and he staggered a little to regain his balance. Natsu growled as he established his footing and tried to regain his momentum out the door, but Jose was already standing in front of him.

"This is as far as you go..." muttered Jose as he held up his hand again, but this time very close and directly at Natsu.

Before the Phantom leader could fire his attack, a tri-pronged Kunai skimmed past his face, and before he could react, a powerful punch landed on his face. Jose grunted in pain as he was forced to the side head first. Then just as Jose was about to regain his balance, another punch landed on his face, but this one was aimed downwards so his head smashed into the ground as his body skidded across the room. Straining his neck to see who struck him, Jose growled when he saw Naruto staring down at him with a glare.

"Happy!" cried Natsu as he jumped into the air; the cat quickly caught him and they both flew out of the room as fast as they could. "Thanks, Naruto!"

Naruto smirked as he watched Jose stand up while simultaneously gave Natsu a thumbs up. "What was that you were saying, Jose?" mocked the blond looking into the dark eyes of his enemy in front of him. "I guess it should be expected of a Phantom Lord Mage..."

"Naru-chan..." whispered Mirajane in worry as she cradled Elfman's head on her lap. Both the Beast Take Over mage and Gray were out of commission after Jose's attack, and Erza was still severely injured after everything she took, so things were not looking good for Naruto. Erza had a very similar thought, and she was trying her best to regain her Magic Power so she could help Naruto more...

Jose started to smirk at Naruto, and it soon turned into a full chuckle. "Interesting...I never expected you to be so fast."

Instead of responding, Naruto quickly requiped his Katana and swung a blade of wind straight at Jose. "Enough talk old man!" cried the blond as he watched Jose dodge his attack by jumping to the side. Naruto quickly sped towards the man and swarmed him with a series of wind enhanced slashes with his blade. Jose was surprisingly agile and effortlessly dodged all of Naruto's strikes. But the strikes were getting closer and closer as Naruto increased his range by channeling wind further into his blade.

Before his movements became predictable, Naruto flicked his left wrist to lightly release his Hiraishin Kunai in the air, letting it hover in the air for a few seconds. Jose was confused with Naruto's odd choice of actions and was distracted for a brief moment. Naruto's body flickered and suddenly appeared to the side of Jose, greatly surprising the man. With a swift twist to the right, Naruto landed a hard left hook on Jose's face, knocking him into a stupor.

"This is for Lucy-nee!" cried Naruto as he slashed his Katana out and deeply sliced Jose's right arm.

Jose cried out in pain and jumped back with a livid expression. "You brat!" shouted the man viciously. "Dead Wave!" Jose used his left hand to fire a condensed beam of his Magic at Naruto, and it connected to the cement floor that Naruto was standing on.

"Naruto!" cried Erza as she saw the area Naruto was in explode. "Damn you, Jose!" Erza requiped into her Black Wing Armor and sped towards Jose to deliver a terrifying slash of her blade. But the Phantom leader easily dodged her attack and even grabbed her wrist. Erza reacted quickly and flicked her blade upwards to slightly cut Jose's hand, forcing him to release her. Erza requiped a blade with her feet and slashed down at Jose in a X shape.

Jose smirked and shook his head at Erza. "Not good enough!" exclaimed the man as he shot Erza with a Dark Beam, and over to a pile of debris, but the Titania managed to regain her balance in midair and landed on her two feet. Jose quickly followed up by enclosing Erza by surprise with several globs of purple energy. "I expected more from the Titania!" boasted Jose loudly as he shocked Erza with his Magic.

"Katon...!" began a familiar voice as Jose looked over to his right side and saw Naruto glaring at him while holding an odd sign with his hands. "Gōryūka no Jutsu (Great Dragon Fire)!" An inferno blasted from Naruto's mouth in the shape of a dragon and it charged at Jose as it scorched its surroundings. The Phantom leader was forced to jump out of the way and lost his concentration on containing Erza in his spell.

The inferno continued it trajectory and eventually collided with the far wall of the room; instantly blasting it to burning pieces. The fire scattered around the room and the carpets and curtains caught on fire. Mirajane was pulling her brother and Gray out of the room with some difficulty, but she knew that she had to take the two injured mages out of the room before the fight catches them in the middle. The room was getting much hotter with Naruto's fire attacks, and Mirajane was hurrying her process to get out of the room before the carbon dioxide fills the room.

Naruto maintained his aim of Jose as the man regained his balance. "Katon: Dai Endan (Giant Flame Bullet)!" With a quick exhale, Naruto shot a large bullet of scorching flames at Jose, and it was much faster than the previous dragon shaped attack.

Jose dodged again and tried his best to ignore the loud explosion that resonated behind him as the fire bullet exploded upon impact to some part of the room. The heat in the room was rising significantly, and the air supple was getting thinner by the second. Jose growled as he moved his hand as an arc before him. "Dark Explosion!" The area where Naruto was standing was engulfed in a powerful explosion that replicated the shape of Jose's movements. Jose took this chance to focus on the walls around him. "Dark Beam!" A series of darkness magic shot out of the fingers of Jose and destroyed the surrounding walls of the room, letting in some much needed air to the burning room.

Unknown to Jose, Naruto was using the smoke and debris from his explosion to sneak his way to Erza undetected, and the blond wrapped his arms around her as soon as she was in range. Erza was surprised at first, but relaxed when she realized that it was Naruto holding her. Erza's condition was not getting any better, and after being physically shocked by Jose, she was finding it very difficult to stay conscious. The Titania rested her head on Naruto's shoulder as she allowed her body to relax into the now very strong arms of her closest person.

Naruto lifted Erza into his arms bridal style and knelt down to the ground to stay out of sight. "I'm going to make a clone to bring you outside, Er-chan, you really need to be medically treated." Despite the situation, Naruto didn't want to call Erza "Er-chan" anymore; it felt a little embarrassing given his more mature stature.

Erza forced one of her eyes open despite her severe fatigue. "N-Naruto-chan...You have to come with me!"

The blond shook his head. "No way, I have to stay here to fight, or he's going to destroy Fairy Tail!"

The Titania shook her head with a frown. "No...He's too strong, come back with me so we can all fight together!" Tried to persuade a worried Erza.

Naruto smiled as he leaned down to kiss Erza on her cheek, just as innocent as he did when he was a child. "Don't worry about me, Er-chan, I promise I will be alright." Without waiting for a response, Naruto created a clone and passed Erza to its arms. Naruto saw that Erza was about to call out to him, but he quickly placed a finger to his lips and shook his head, and the girl seem to have admitted defeat. It pained Erza to leave Naruto on his own, but for some reason she had hope that Naruto's newly discovered powers might be a match for Jose, so she allowed the clone to carry her away from the scene.

Just as the clone made it way out the door and out of sight, Jose found Naruto by standing on a higher point of gathered debris. "Well, are you done hiding or should I give you a few more minutes to rest?"

Naruto smirked. "I was just letting you rest old man, shouldn't you be thanking me?"

Jose seemed to be a little offended by the comment and fired some Dark Beams at Naruto. With the aid of the Sharingan, Naruto easily dodged the blasts with his superior speed. Wanting to use the blasts to his advantage, Naruto strategically maneuvered his dodging towards large piles of debris, and Jose wasn't any smarter when he cleared the battlefield of debris with his beams. Naruto wanted a flat and clear battlefield so he could use his speed and Hiraishin no Jutsu to his fullest advantage, and Jose did just that for him.

Thinking that the field was cleared enough, Naruto increased his speed and appeared in front of Jose directly in the middle of the room. "Futon: Kamikaze (Divine Wind)!" Naruto's hands released a powerful gust of wind that barreled through the room straight at Jose. "Katon: Hibashiri (Running Fire)!" The blond blasts a stream of fire from his mouth towards his gust of wind, and the fire instantly caught on to merge with the wind.

The vortex of flames towered over Jose as it threatened to burn him to ashes; forcing the man to try to jumped backwards. Jose growled as he jumped up into the air. "Dark Explosion!" The concussive blast distorted the vortex enough to stop the spinning, thus ceasing the fire from burning, and in a second the whole attack was gone.

"Kazekiri!" cried a voice from above Jose as an invisible blade of wind slashed down at him. Jose twisted his body as much as he could in midair and managed to dodge the attack, but he was unable to stop Naruto's further follow ups. The blond cried out as he punched the man right in the nose, and grinned when he heard a painful crack. Following Jose as he fell to the ground, Naruto landed another kick on the man's stomach, pushing him to the ground faster, and the impact of Jose to the ground created a small crater.

Jose coughed loudly as the air was once again knocked out of his lungs. The fall really harmed him and his body was painful all over...

Naruto wanted to finish the man as quickly as possible, so he continued his barrage as he fell. Feeling a familiar surge of power in the palm of his hand, Naruto thrust his hand out as he was about to crash into the man on the ground.

"Rasengan!"

Just as Naruto's attack was about to land, his body was suddenly stopped from moving. Naruto's widened eyes as he looked around and he was further shocked when he saw a bunch of Jose's shades grabbing onto his side and torso. He tried to flare his power to rid himself of his entanglement, but the shades didn't budge.

Jose chuckled as he lifted his hand at Naruto. "Surprised?" asked the man with a sneer. "Brat!"

"AAHHHHHH!" cried Naruto in pain as the shades shocked him to the very core. It was as if a bolt of lightning has struck his body as hundreds of needled pierced his skin repeatedly. The Rasengan vanished from Naruto had as he lost his strength, and he had to grit his teeth to prevent himself from shouting out again. Naruto tried to regain his mental and physical readiness and was about to strike back, but Jose mocked him by shocking again.

Jose sighed as he shook his head. "I still remember how happy I was when I received the request from the Heartflia Family that said they wanted their heiress back..." muttered the man as he relaxed as if trying to insult Naruto further. "To think, the heiress to one of the richest families in Fiore would be a member of Fairy Tail...just this alone gave me the perfect oppurtunity to take down your pathetic guild!"

Naruto grunted as he stressed his muscles to look down at Jose. "W-Why are you trying so hard to destroy Fairy Tail?!"

The Phantom leader's grin was obvious. "Why?..." asked the man as if he was amused. "For as long as I can remember, Phantom Lord has been the number one guild in Fiore, but in recent years people have started to call Fairy Tail our equal, some even say that they are now the top!" Jose was glaring at Naruto at this point. "Even though it was just a garbage guild a few years ago...the names of Erza, Laxus and Mystogan started to pop up everywhere, and it stole all our pride from us!"

The blond in captive started to chuckle. "You mean this was all because of your petty jealousy?"

Jose smirked and shocked Naruto again, making the teenager cry out in pain. "Oh no...this war is to show the world that Phantom is superior to Fairy Tail, and we will take back the title of the absolute number one guild in Fiore!"

Naruto gritted his teeth before he smirked himself. "Yeah right..." muttered the teenager with a sneer. "You were intimidated by us, we are getting stronger and stronger, while you watch your guild desperately try to catch up despite their obvious complacent attitude." Jose looked up at Naruto with a smirk, as if he was silently showing that the boy was correct. "Lucy-nee is just a catalyst for war, you needed a reason to attack us and you needed to take it before we grow out of your reach."

Jose shook his head as he remained in the crater his body created. "How does Makarov do it...not only did he get Erza, Laxus, and Mystogan...he also got you." said the man while he looked at Naruto impressed. "You are by far the most talented mage I have ever met, normally kids your age shouldn't have a mere fraction of your power...and yet, you took out my elites like they were still wet behind the ears!" Jose sighed as he took a deep breath. "But none of that matters anymore, I have defeated Fairy Tail, and I have the Heartfilia heiress...now all I have to do is keep her as my hostage and I will slowly bleed the Heartfilia fortune for myself!" Finished the man with a barking laughter.

Naruto's anger grew to new heights at the thought of his surrogate sister being Jose's pawn. "I swear to Kami-sama above, I will never let you take Lucy-nee...Natsu maybe saved her already, and if I have to, I will kill you myself!"

Jose continued to laugh as he shocked Naruto once more with his power. Naruto's cries were like music to Jose's ears. "Aren't so cocky now, are you?" mocked the man as a Magic Circle formed in front of his left hand. "How I wish you could have been in my guild...goodbye" said the man with a disappointed voice. "Dead Wave!" A familiar blast of purple energy gather in Jose's hand as it shot towards Naruto at point blank. Naruto's cries of pain were covered by the loud explosion that was caused by the blast hitting the ceiling, and Naruto was sent under a mass amount of falling debris.

The room was silent as Jose painfully got out of the crater he was embedded in and smirked when he saw the large pile of debris in front of him. The ceiling was made with three feet thick cement, and a large chunk of the room fell right on top of the boy. After suffering a direct blast of his dead wave and having been dropped to the ground with tons of cement, Jose assumed that the boy was dead. Jose was relieved deep inside; Naruto was stronger than anyone he had faced in Fairy Tail except for Makarov, the boy's power felt even greater than the Titania and the Salamander. Jose could only wonder where Makarov found such a terrifying boy; if Naruto were to fully mature, Jose could only shudder at the power he would obtain.

Jose walked over to the pile of debris and shook his head with a smirk on his face. "Too bad you were in Fairy Tail, brat...if you were in Phantom then you would have lived."

The pile of debris suddenly exploded in a large puff of smoke, and Jose's eyes were wide as saucers when he saw copies of Naruto replace hundreds of pieces of debris. The room shook as all the Naruto's let out a vicious battle cry as they dropped down to the gapping Jose.

'What the hell is this!?' cried Jose inwardly in shock. 'How is this possible?!'

Three Naruto's grabbed onto Jose and pulled their fists back. "We're going to beat the shit out of you!" A clone delivered the hardest punch he could right at Jose's face, and it was powerful enough to knock his jaw and a few of his teeth loose. Another clone followed up with a devastating kick to the nose, further breaking it against his skull. More and more cones piled onto Jose as each of them let out their untamed anger on the man, and their battle cries covered Jose's grunting, cries, and groaning as he was beaten within an inch of his life.

"This is for Lucy-nee!" cried a clone as he dropped lick Jose on the forehead.

"This is for Natsu!" cried another as he elbowed his back.

"Gray!" This clone was more creative, and stomped on Jose's toes; crushing them in the process.

"Mira-nee!" shouted two clones at once as they each kick one shoulder.

"Elfman!" This clone kicked Jose behind the knee.

"Jiji!" cried a clone as he elbowed Jose's temple.

Two clones held Jose in still by the arms as a third one ran up to him at full speed. "This is for Er-chan!" cried the copy of Naruto as he punched Jose right between the eyes. The clones then threw Jose into the air as ten other ones jumped higher in order to drop on him. "THIS IS FOR FAIRY TAIL!" The ten clones slammed their legs down on Jose's body, sending the bloody heap down to the ground with a loud bang. The crater was much better than last time, and this time Jose's mouth was shut.

As the clones dispelled one after another, the real Naruto stood further down in the room, while looking down at Jose with his Hiraishin Kunai in his hand. Naruto had discreetly hidden his Kunai within a pile of debris much earlier in the fight when Jose shot him with his first dead wave, knowing that he would most likely need a quick escape down the road, and he was correct. The smoke and debris Jose's attack made it easy for Naruto to hide the Kunai...it seems that while Jose was a powerful mage, he didn't really have smarts.

Naruto started his way over to Jose with a serious expression on his face. "If you had provided me with a reasonable reason for attacking Fairy Tail, which I found highly unlikely, I would have held back a little." muttered the teenager calmly. "But seeing that you are nothing more than a petty fool with a sadistic plan, I decided to play this by your rules..." Naruto stopped right in front of the battered and bloody Jose and looked down into his semi-conscious eyes. "Lucy-nee is very precious to me, and I will never allow her to become your bargaining chip..."

Jose made a noise that sounded more like a whimper, but Naruto saw in his eyes that the man was still calling out for blood...

Naruto sighed and ran his hand through his blond locks. "Fairy Tail is my home, and I will protect it!" said the blond with an iron resolution. "You started this war, and you simply paid the price for it." Naruto turned his back on the fallen Jose and started his way out of the still burning and destroyed room. "Goodbye Jose..."

'I still do not remember who I really am...' thought Naruto inwardly as he made his way out of the broken building. 'But I love Fairy Tail...it is my home and my family, so I don't really care about who I was before.' Naruto held his fist in front of him and stared down at it as he felt the power that he now possessed. 'I am going to be a Fairy Tail mage, and I will protect it just as Er-chan, Natsu, Lucy-nee, and the others will...'

Naruto continued his way out of the Phantom Guild Hall, but he began to feel his fatigue and exhaustion finally coming to him. Jose had done considerable damage to him with his shocks, and the last few hundred clones he made really burned away the rest of his energy. The blond grunted as he staggered through the hallway with a mild headache that was quickly worsening. His vision began to become blurry, and he could barely avoid walking into the scatter debris that festered the hallway.

'D-Damn!' cursed Naruto as he felt his balance tip and he started to fall to the ground.

"Whoa, I gotcha here big guy!" said a voice as a huge back caught Naruto's body.

The blond strained his eyes open to see who it was, and he was shocked to see Makarov smiling down at him with his body enlarged to huge degrees. "Jiji?..."

The Fairy Tail Master smiled and nodded. "You did great back there, Naruto!" said the man as his body shrunk to a smaller size, just enough to carry Naruto on his back. "And here I thought I needed to rush over to help you against Jose, but it seems that you have become a very strong young man!"

Naruto grunted as he tried to move his very sore body. "Is Er-chan alright?"

Makarov smiled and slowly nodded. "Yes, she is completely fine, thanks to you Naruto."

As if that answer finally gave Naruto relief, he gave in to his exhaustion and fell asleep on the Master's back with a smile on his face. Makarov shook his head in amusement at the young boy, who was just beginning his teenage years. The Master couldn't believe that someone as innocent and passionate as Naruto, would be powerful enough to utterly destroy one of the Ten Magic Saints. Granted Jose was one of the weaker members of the legendary group, for a boy no older then fourteen to defeat him should be impossible. Makarov could help but wonder how much Naruto will effect Fairy Tail with his presence, and how powerful he will be when he fully matured.

Makarov made his way out of the Phantom Guild Hall and stood on one of the giant metal legs of the building. He looked down at all the gathered members of the guild looking up at him and Naruto with smiles on their face, and that included Natsu, Happy and Lucy. It was a resounding victory for Fairy Tail today, and it was mostly because of a boy who had so fatefully joined the guild. Makarov wondered if Naruto was someone who was sent by the heavens to bring Fairy Tail to a new height of power...

"NARUTO HAS WON!" shouted out Makarov with aid from his Titain Magic, making everyone in the guild hear him. "VICTORY IS OUR TODAY!"

The crowd began to cheer as loudly as they could, some even broke down into tears, Lucy being one of them. The Heartfilia heiress had her arms wrapped around Natsu as she cried into his chest, her body reacting to some much needed relief. The Dragon Slayer had a huge smile on his face as he wrapped his arms protectively around Lucy, and he was shouting out words of victory to Naruto. Others were in similar situations. Mirajane was hugging her brother, and Cana was hugging Macao...everyone were estatic that the war was over...

Standing in front of the crowd alone was Erza. She had a proud smile on her face as she looked up at Naruto who was sleeping peacefully on the Master's back. Erza couldn't be more proud of Naruto, he had truly surpassed her expectations and defeated Jose. For some reason, deep down Erza had always known that Naruto would win, and he would come back to her side. If Erza wasn't injured, she would have ran up to Naruto and hugged him with all she had...

"Thank you...Naruto."

The End!
