Story Start!
"Not having magic SUCKS!" Natsu shouted as the group ran away from a giant bird/fish/dinosaur creature that was chasing them with the intent of turning them into fish food. Naruto was busy smacking Natsu in the back of the head repeatedly as they ran, a deadpan expression set on his . Then he smacked his own forehead and stopped before he turned around and caught the fish thing with his bare hands. Lifting the easily 50 foot tall creature above his head Naruto went to the edge of island they were on, before tossing the massive creature over the edge.
"Heh, this place isn't very hard to survive in." Naruto commented with a slight smirk that he knew irritated both Natsu and Wendy. Without their magic they were completely useless here compared to Naruto. He had better senses, higher combat ability, and the red gems in his Silver Artifacts had plenty of magic stored in them so Naruto could still use them for magical combat until the gems ran dry. The fact he had been filling them with tons of magical power the last three days just meant that he could do plenty of fighting with them.
"Says the guy with freaky strength." Happy chirped in cheerfully, and Naruto sent the small cat an 'Erza' Glare that had Happy jumping into Natsu's arms to get away. Natsu himself was shivering in fright under the force of the glare, before Naruto stopped glaring and started to chuckle lightly. Wendy gently slapped him on the shoulder to keep him in control. They started to walk again, and the group heard their stomachs growling lightly in Wendy's case and heavily in Happy and Natsu's cases.
"Lets find some food Happy!" Natsu shouted with a grin towards his cat, and the blue cat nodded with a determined look on his whiskered face.
"Aye sir, fish sounds perfect! Lets get fish!" Happy said as the two idiots started to run into the forest again, while Wendy giggled into her hand when she saw Naruto face palming. Wendy had her Explosive Fire Lacrima to defend herself, but Natsu and Happy had no ways to defend themselfs if they were in danger.
"Well they are certainly..." Wendy said before she paused while trying to come up with a polite way to call them idiots without being mean, or saying the word idiot. Naruto was able to understand where she was going, and he totally agreed. They wouldn't be Natsu and Happy if they weren't running off to do dumb stuff for dumb reasons. It was like how Erza wouldn't be Erza if she didn't love cake, or how Naruto wouldn't be himself if he wasn't an avid ramen lover.
"They are idiots." Naruto said in good nature, before he blinked when the two idiots came running out of the forest again with another large creature after them. Naruto's eyes widened when the two ran right into Wendy and Naruto as they all were sent tumbling across the ground. Naruto got a good look at the creature just before it opened it's jaw and descended on them. The creature look like a giant duck with fangs, and before Naruto could untangle himself the duck creature pulled them all into it's slimy mouth with a long retractable tongue before swallowing them whole.
"This was be how fish feel!" Happy shouted in horror as they all dropped into the creatures stomach, and Naruto face palmed. Naruto noticed that the inside of the creature's stomach there was some kind of glowing moss. Using his dagger, he used the stored up magic and tried to stab through the moss, only to find that it was very resistant to heat. He couldn't barely cut into it, but the moss was to thick for him to cut to the stomach without using flames that will eat up their air even quicker.
"Oh no! How are we going to get out of here!?" Wendy shouted in panic while Naruot held his nose in irritation. He noticed that both Natsu and Wendy were having their clothes slightly disolved by the juices in the stomach from whenever they touched the moss. Natsu's dragon scarf seemed to be immune to the juice, while Naruto's metalic armor couldn't be digested. The process was pretty slow, but honestly it could be much worse than this.
"How are you so calm!?" Natsu shouted when he looked at Naruto, and the red haired male just chuckled to himself.
"This is my fourth time being eaten alive. Two times by snakes, one by a weird demon thing, and this duck is the fourth. You know, only one of those times I was eaten alone." Naruto said with a small smile on his face, while the other three inside the stomach couldn't help but sweatdrop at how Naruto was so calm about being eaten by a giant duck. This was a bit more embarrassing, but when you are being eaten the most you can be thankful for is the chance to escape without becoming waste.
"Hah!" Natsu shouted as he started to punch the moss, and Naruto watched as the moss started to thin and collect in one place before turning into a fist and punching Natsu right back before quickly thickening and turning back to normal. Wendy giggled despite the situation they were in, while Naruto stood up and cracked his neck before pulling his own fist back and getting into a good punching position.
"This might be a little disgusting." Naruto warned them second before he went through with his punch, and the second he punched and landed against the moss the glowing green substance was completely ripped to shreds by the air pressure and force behind the attack. Naruto saw the lining of the stomach, before he used his dagger and lit it aflame and sent a wave of cutting flame to pierce through the stomach. The creature started to shake around violently, while blood began to fill the stomach up quickly.
"Great, now we are going to drown!" Happy complained, and Naruto sent the cat a small glare for saying something like that. He had more experience getting out of animals stomachs than any other person alive... well he was pretty sure he had the most experience in this subject. Not many people survived the experience one, while this was time number four for him.
"No we aren't, trust me and hold your breaths." Naruto said as he leaned against the moss, while the others stood in the quickly blood filling stomach and started to enjoy the filthly air while they had the chance to breath. Happy was on top of Natsu's head, and by the looks of it he was seconds away from fainting from fear.
"This is so horrible!" Wendy said as they started to have to swim up through the blood to continue to breath, and once the stomach was completely filled with blood they all felt a swift current and pulling sensation before they were squished together tightly and forced back up the creature. Then just like they way they came in, they spewed out of the creature's mouth and onto the ground in a viscious spray of bloody vomit. They were completely covered from head to toe in guts, with Natsu grinning not to far away.
"That was AWESOME!" Natsu shouted in excitement as he jumped out in excitement, while Happy danced around with his blood covered friend. Naruto shook his head as he helped Wendy stand up without slipping on the blood.
"I stink, my clothes are ruined, and I am covered in blood and puke. Today sucks and I want to have a bath now." Wendy said with a moppy pout on her face, while Naruto rolled his eyes. They were eaten by an oversized duck, and this was what she was worried about. Of course, he wanted to get a bath as well, but at least he knew what had to come first. That and it was easy to get blood off of golden armor, and with his hair being blood red people would just think his hair was wet.
"Where there are ducks you can find water." Naruto said simply as they started to walk as a group in the direction that the duck had come running from. The four blood covered Fairy Tail members walked until they found a large watering hole, and in the water were five more of the demon ducks. Naruto looked at Natsu and Happy like they were idiots, before he tensed his legs and took a deep breath. Wendy covered her ears right away as the shreaking metalic ring of the Battle Cry rang over the entire pocket of water, and the giant ducks panicked on the unknown noise and started to flap their massive wings and escape the dominant predator.
With them gone the group went towards the water, and Wendy marvelled at how clear the water was. You could almost see to the bottom of the hole of water, and the ground seemed to be made of some sort of blue crystal that gave the water a slightly blue glow to it.
"It's warm." Wendy said when she washed her hands first with the water, before she winced back when Natsu jumped in without a seconds hesitation. Happy hopped into the water right after, while Naruto chuckled and started to wade through the water until he was up to his next. The slightly spinning current of water washing away the blood from his body for him, beofre he dunked his head underwater and got the rest of the blood out of it.
"Wendy! Come on in and join the party!" Natsu shouted, for the moment completely forgetting why they came here in the first place. It was for that reason that Naruto couldn't help but chuckle, but it wasn't like they were in any hurry at the moment. They had absolutely no clues at all, so until they got a hint or found people they wouldn't be able to do anything.
"I really shouldn't-" Wendy started, before a chain wrapped around her waist and tossed her into the water against her will. A few moments later she burst him the water and sent a slightly pouty look at Naruto, before she noticed he had gone under the water.
'Glowing?' Naruto thought in wonder as he noticed the gems on both his Silver Artifacts were glowing brightly, and looking around underwater he started to swim farther out into the depths of the water. There was no way this Silver King would be able to place one of his or her weapons inside a lake, on a floating island, in another dimension. Unless Naruto underestimated just how much power this Silver King had when they were alive. He was glad the water was so clear, because as he swam he noticed that there were no fish here. He blinked and felt something touch his hand, only to see Wendy waving at him with Natsu and Happy.
Apparently they had decided to follow him, so he shrugged before they all swam up to the surface and took a deep breath.
"Natsu, Wendy, and Happy why don't you guys keep a lookout? I think there is something that might help us if we run into trouble down there." Naruto requested, while Natsu and Happy gave him salutes before they started to race/swim back to the side of the water. Wendy though stayed right where she was, and he could see she wasn't going to listen to him on this subject. Well at least she would have her explosive marbel things to help her defend herself.
"I'm coming." Wendy said, and with a nod the two of them started to go under the water again before they saw a silver platform of ruins at the bottom of the not too deep hole. The two of them looked at the incriptions, while Naruto stuck the dagger in a slot like a key and turned it like it was a key. It moved, and the the platform started to sink and it took them with it, before the hole was closed up over them and the water started to drain out of the small sealed space to allow them to breath.
He had figured that it would happen, since the room was no doubt filled with both water and air for whatever creature lived inside as the challenge before he could claim the next item. Naruto felt a dropping feeling in his stomach as they started to get lower and lower into the ground as the platform they were on moved them. Naruto and Wendy both fell when the floor under them opened up, before they landed in the middle of a large room just like the others Naruto had been in.
Welcome... DAMNIT! I am getting so pissed at seeing your face! Why is it always you!? Why can't it be somebody else!?
"Screw you too buddy." Naruto answered back with a raised eyebrow, before he heard the voice sigh. Wendy looked at Naruto like he was crazy, before she watched as the two doors appeared in the room.
Okay, this will be different than last time. This time I am going to ask a question, and you will fght a different creature depending on what you pick.
"Questions? Damnit... okay, what is your question?" Naruto asked with a grin on his face. He could handle this, he knew for a fact that he was going to have to fight a monster no matter what he picked. He could do that and defend Wendy at the same time. He still had two more transformation pills, so even without the Byakko-Mode or magic he would be able to get stronger if he needed the power.
"Are you sure that we should be fighting at a time like this?" Wendy questioned her best friend with a worried expression on her face.
Don't worry, these great guards will only attack the red haired bastard.
"I can just hear the love." Naruto said in a mocking deadpan tone, and if the voice had a face then it would obviously be an annoyed one. Wendy giggled to herself at how Naruto was showing her a slightly different side to him. Normally he was either goofy or serious, this was a gooft/serious mix that she hadn't really seen before now.
In this chamber are the Silver Shield that Silver Sword. One is the unbreakable shield that will block even magic, and the other is the master of swords that will never be broken. What do you chose?
'This is a hard one.' Naruto thought as he sat on the ground and got into a thinking position. One one hand a shield that would defend him from magic sounded amazing, but a sword that would never break sounded even cooler. It was a confusing question of what was better, defence or offence. Either way he would have to chose one and face the monster that defended it. Then if he won getting a new weapon to save his friends would be more simple.
"Naruto, what are you going to pick?" Wendy asked quietly, and Naruto didn't answer when he replayed the question in his mind over and over. This was the first time that it would be his decision that decided what he would be fighting. Normally the monster would show up, he would defeat it, and then he would get a weapon in return before leaving. Naruto closed his eyes, before he opened them with a determined look set in those scarlet eyes.
"The option I pick is..." Naruto started, the air seeming to be filled with anticipation as the very room awaited what he was going to pick. The chose that would decide the fate of what happened in this room.
Wendy waited with baited breath, knowing that the suspense was killing her. She was extremely curious as to what Naruto was going to pick, and why he had jumped at the chance to come down here. This wasn't just any normal decision that a person had to make. It was one of the most agrued questions on all human time.
What was better, the shield or the sword?
Chapter End!
Yes, you will have to wait until next chapter to find out what Naruto choses. I always thought it was bullshit how they fall onto an island and just find Fairy Tail Edo right away. They were barely there for thirty minutes, had no troubles, and just stumble upon the Edolas Fairy Tail. It had been awhile since Naruto has been in one of these chambers and gotten another Silver Artifact, and they are all located in strange places. Of course one would be in Edolas.
