Disclaimer: First Chapter + P.o.t.C.
I would like to point out that even in Canon Fairy Tail many children were tortured at the Tower of Heaven, and Erza herself had her eye ripped out. What happened to Naruto was BARELY torture. That was similar to what a bully would do, beat you up a little and threaten you, not child abuse.
Story Start! - Seriously, I don't support Child Abuse, Murder, or Mentions of Rape
"He wasn't there!" Erza shouted in frustration as she stood over the wounded bodies of the people working with the Tower of Heaven. Even her old friends from her days as a slave were among the wounded, the Tower of Heaven itself was completely destroyed around her from her rage. After she had destroyed each fighter in combat, inculding the Wizard Sait Jellal, she had proceeded to go through every room of the tower and look for Naruto. Every room he wasn't in was destroyed, and she had yet to find the woman that had disguised herself as the Master.
Jellal had been more than happy to tell her who captured Naruto in exhange for him keeping his arms. Oh, he had tried to seduce her to his side, but he never counted on how utterly angry she was with this whole situation. To her, this was no longer her groupd of friends. These were people that kidnapped her family, and not only threatened to kill him, but also use him as breeding material. The one thing she hated more than slavery was rape, and these assholed had threatened a child with that forbidden topic. She had seen red, and in her anger she might have unleashed a powerful attack at the base of the tower that knocked the entire thing down into the ocean. As Naruto would say... whoops.
"The scarlet haired boy fell into the ocean." Ikaruga managed to say, before they all winced when Erza glared at them They were already pretty close to death, and with the Rune Knights already on their way to pick up the defeated criminals they had little chance of victory, while Erza still had 40 percent of her power left. She didn't know why, but it felt as if her magic reserves had grown exponentially larger. She wasn't nearly as anrgy, but her reserves were still larger than what they had started out as. It was like she had unlocked something in her rage. Something deep inside her had activated, she could just feel the power coursing through her body. She felt as if she could single handidly defeat Laxus with this power, oh how she was tempted to sock the bastard in the face the next time she saw him to test this out.
"Where in the ocean?!" Erza questioned as he blade pierced slowly into the arm of Ikaruga, and she screamed out in pain before Erza took the blade out and glared at the pink haired woman again. She didn't knwo why, but for some reason she felt a deep dislike for pink haired girls since meeting Naruto. The pink haired woman shook her head telling Erza she didn't know, so summoning her flame sword she lit it aflame and cut off one of the womans's arms.
"I don't know! He fell into the ocean!" Ikaruga shouted, before she screamed in agony when she had her other arm cut off. Erza put her sword away, before she sat down in front of them all and gloared at them. She needed to make sure that they all actually went to jail, instead of escaping. Jellal was sending her a flase loving look, one that she could now easily see through after spending time with a genuine person like Naruto. That was why she would prefer being out there and finding him, than here. She had to be here though, because if they escaped who knows what they would do to other people.
'Be safe Naruto-kun.' Erza thought as she looked at the ocean in front of them.
-With Naruto Two Days Later-
"This is the weirdest thing that has happened to me in since Titus." Naruto said neutrally as he looked at the sky above him, and the gentle rocking of the waves gave him a slight feeling of sea sickness. He may not have transportation sickness, but he was born and raised in a land where you would most likely never naturally have to ride a boat. This meant that until today Naruto himself had never been on a boat, and his stomach was a little uneasy from the constant rocking of the boat.
When he had landed in the ocean, he had first been found by a whale. The whale had swam with him on it's back for a about a day, before the whale had dropped in off in front of this boat. The crew of the boat had fished him out of the ocean, and thank god they had a medic on board that was good that Healing Magic. Yeah, the use of that stung a bit, and he found out that the only Healing Magic that didn't cause him pain seemed to be Wendy's Sky Dragon Healing Magic. Other healing types of magic were had the same stinging and pain sensation as normal magic, but thankfully it did heal him up well.
Then Naruto had learned something about this ship.
They were a trading ship that exported goods between the different Countries around the worlds, and they were currently heading towards the Country of Darkness with a shipment of salts. Among humans, these were the few groups that were allowed to go to that nation so long as they didn't set foot of their boat when they arrived. That meant that Naruto was going to be seeing his kind a bit sooner than he had honestly expected. Then after that, so long as he worked on the ship, he would be allowed to join the crew as the sailed back to Fiore... The journey of which took two weeks ont his old fashioned wooden boat. He was currently laying down at the front of the boat.
Holding his hand in front of his body, Naruto used his Requip magic to summon his communication Lacrima. If he was going to be late, he might as well let Erza know that he was safe at the moment. with his injuried truly healed, he felt more powerful than he was before he fought Titus. Using magic, the orb started to glow before it showed Erza's relieved face on the other end.
"Where the hell are you young man!?"
Naruto blinked when the very first thing he saw was the blood covered face of his teacher looking at him with a sense of urgency. He smiled before lifting the orb up to show the ship behind him, before pulling it back down to show his face. Erza had let out a sigh of relief when she had seen the symbol the people were wearing on this boat. This was one of the shipping guilds Shark Fin, and they were a legal guild that served as a shipping vessel.
Hey, not every guild deals with missions. There are treasure hunting guilds, mage guilds, independent guilds, police guilds, and many other types of people that band together to form a guild.
"See Erza-sensei, I am just fine. Captain Jack said that the ship will be back at Hargeon Town in two weeks, four tops if anything unlucky happens." Naruto said as he looked back at the pirate dressed captain chugging a bottle of rum with a slight grin. Erza sighed over the line at how laid back Naruto was about this whole thing, but then again it wasn't like he wasn't going to get his pile of flesh out of Ultear when he next saw her.
"You better be back in two weeks, or I am coming after you and dragging you back here. On a side note, did they do anything to you?" Erza asked, and she looked down at the lower edge of the lacrima showing Naruto that she had beaten the hell out of somebody.
"Not really, just physical beatings. Nothing I can't handle. Titus did way worse damage when he and I fought, and Saber and I have fights that do about the same amount of damage." Naruto said with a sigh, before he froze when he felt her glare get worse. He sighed in relief when he saw that it wasn't aimed at him, but instead at the others that she must have defeated.
"Wendy is going to be happy to know you are okay. Is there anything you would like me to tell her while you are gone?" Erza asked as she forced herself to calm down. Naruto was perfectly alright, so she had no reason to worry over him. She could see how healed he was from the lacrima, and it was good to see him back at full strength.
"... Oh shit I forgot about Wendy. Tell her I am just fine, and I will be back at the guild soon. Until then tell her that she needs to be careful in the forest." Naruto said in a rather laid back tone. Erza seriously questioned how deeply Naruto was hiding the scars he felt, and the trama. The next time she saw him, she was going to srag him to her room and make sure that he had a good cry. Bottling up his emotioned was not good for him, so she would rather he cry than try and stay strong when he didn't need to.
"You better come back without getting injured, or I will put you through the worst training session of your life. You will be so bruised that the bruises on your bruises will be bruised, and those bruises will have bruises of their own." Erza threatened, and Naruto grinned. That sounded like it would be one hell of a training session, so seeing Naruto's grin Erza blinked before changing her punishment. "I stand corrected, your punishment will be reading the thickest book I can find from cover to cover." Erza corrected, and Naruto's jaw dropped in horror.
"I will be bad as soon as I can, so please don't make me read?" Naruto nearly begged. Just because he COULD read now, didn't mean he liked it. Only the rare few things that catch his eye would be fun.
"Oh! A pirates life for me~!"
"What was that?" Erza asked, and Naruto raised the orb up to show Erza people dancing and singing on the deck of the boat.
"Okay Erza-se-" Naruto started as he brought the orb back down to his face, but she interupted him.
"Hey you get back he-" Erza started before her end of the lacrima was cut off when something smashed her orb.
Naruto sweat dropped, before putting the orb back into his Pocket Dimension. Grinning, Naruto flipped himself back onto the deck when he heard music being played by a small number of the people. Naruto started to tap his foot on the ground a few times as he felt a rush of energy enter his system, and he watched a few people danced like drunks. He actually, deep inside him, felt insulted that they could call that dancing. Naruto jumped into the fray of the dancing with his recently magically healed legs, and he completely followed his instincts when he started to flow with the music.
His feet lightly traced along the ground, never staying in one place for even have a second before he moved. The people around stopped dancing and singing just so that they could watch the near magical dance moves Naruto was pulling. No part of his body was still for long, and even his stomach remained in motion. The moves of his limbs were controlled, yet relaxed at the same time. No movement was wasted, and every move led to another move. Flowing like a mystical river of dance, and now every person on the ship was watching him with wide eyes as they felt themselves grow excited to watch his dance.
Soon they all started cheering and just going generally wild seemingly in responce to his dance influencing their emotions. Playing them to his own mood, and affecting them no matter how strong their wills were. People watched him in an amazed craze, yet none could bring themselves to join him in a dance. They were truly enchanted by his dance, and he was just doing so by instinct alone. Yet the results of his dancing were amazing, sheer words could not do his dancing justice. That was why when Naruto stopped, all the shipping guild cheered for a repeat performance.
It was just that good.
Chapter End.
Erza defeated everyone with ONE hit each, and Jellal was overcoming a good amount of brain damage from Naruto escaping. Ultear escaped before Erza showed up, and Naruto is on his way to the Country of Darkness for an original arc that will be a good learning experience for him. On a serious not, this might be my only chapter today. I am going to be helping clean out my gramps house of his belongings so that it can be sold. I might be able to make another chapter today, but I might not.
