As for Naruto, it is either going to be Mirajane or Lucy. Sorry for the viewers who wanted Naruto Erza pair. You can drop it if you like.
The other pair is Sasuke x Erza.
Also, romance and all that stuff will be sort of be minimal as I am not that experienced in writing that stuff and this is my first fic(Rating T).
I maybe include that stuff in the future story/stories I may write once I get the hang of it.
I was unable to cover Naruto and Sasuke vs Jellal fight in this chapter. Hopefully, I'll cover it in next.
This turned out as a big chapter compared to my previous chapters. I'll try to keep the length constant from next time.
Hope this chapter didn't turn out as bad as my first few chapters :P
It was night. A small Raven haired kid stood in an alley way which had few dead bodies which were butchered not long ago. Opposite of him stood a Black haired teen who was in his battle gear (Anbu dress). The raven haired kid listened to what the Black haired teen had to say. With each passing sentence tears rolled down his cheeks.
"… this can't be real. You are not my brother" the little kid shouted.
"I acted as the big brother you desired… in order to measure your capacity." the teen said as the little kid moved back a little unable to believe what he heard just now." And now it's your turn to test mine. You have the potential locked away within you. You have always been Jealous of me, and you have hated me. You have continuously aimed to surpass me. Because of that, I will allow you to live for my sake. Don't you see, it's for my own benefit" Finishing that sentence he turned around showing his back.
"My foolish little brother… if you wish to kill me one day, then hate me, detest me, and live a long unsightly life. Run and keep running…cling to your pitiful life…" the teen turned his head around to show his left eye revealing his Mangekyou" And then one day, when you possess the same eyes as I do, come back and face me!"
Sasuke opened his eyes revealing his sharingan as he remembered what his past was before he learnt the truth about Itachi. 'She is the same as me. Our pasts are much similar.' Sasuke thought as he closed his eyes 'She lost everything like me. She lost her village, suffered from slavery and then lost her friends as well'
The flash back hit him as he was listening to Erza's past. He didn't like to think back about that fateful night but since there were similarities between their pasts, so he remembered about it.
Erza continued about her past involving Jellal, Rob and her friends. She told them how she escaped from there and how Jellal threatened her if she ever so reveals a little detail about the R-system to anyone by killing her friends. The others listened with intent as she went on about her painful past and see the side of Erza they didn't see before. They didn't notice Sho and Simon listening to their conversation as well as failed to notice Sasuke and Naruto who stood behind the Exit door.
"I… will fight Jellal…" Erza said while tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Wait a second, Erza… The Zeref you mentioned in your story…" Gray said while Erza was wiping her tears.
"Yeah, you all should know about Zeref…" Erza said.
"I remember them referring to the monster that came out from Lullaby as one of Zeref's demons!" Lucy said as she remembered the Lullaby incident.
"Who is this Zeref they are talking about, Sasuke?" Naruto asked in a low voice.
"As if I would know, loser" Sasuke hushed him.
"That's not all. I suspect that Deliora was one of Zeref's demons as well." Erza said.
"And Jellal is trying to resurrect Zeref?" Juvia asked.
"Yeah. I don't understand Jellal's motives at all. Sho, one of my former friends, said that once the resurrection is completed, they will become the rulers of paradise." Erza said.
"But why did your former friends turn against you? Wasn't Jellal the traitor and not you, Erza?" Lucy questioned Erza.
"He must have somehow brainwashed them with me gone. But I left them here for eight years. I did, in fact, betray them." Erza said.
"But that was for their own safety! And yet-" Lucy was interrupted by Erza.
"That's enough, Lucy. If I can defeat Jellal, all of this will be over." Erza said.
'Is that really the truth? Those words are really bothering me.' Gray thought.
Sho listened to the whole story Erza had told. He was standing near the entrance.
"Nee-san, that story… What was that?" Sho said as he was shocked after listening to Erza's past.
"Sho…"
"You tried to gain your friends sympathy by telling them that mighty tale? Don't mess with me. That's not even close to the truth! You blew our ships and ran away all by yourself! Had Jellal not noticed your betrayal, we would have all sunk to the bottom of sea! Jellal told us that was the fate of those who couldn't use magic properly. You were so conceited with your magical power that you wanted to rid your past and all of us!" Sho said.
"Is that something the Erza you know would have done?" Lucy asked.
Sho stepped back as he was shocked after listening to those words.
"What do you people know about us? You don't know anything about us! Only Jellal's words gave us a reason to move on. That's why we spent the past eight years building this tower! For Jellal… If it was all a lie… "Sho said as he was trembling from knowing the truth."If you are right, Nee-san, and Jellal is wrong…"
"That's right." Simon said as he appeared out of a black smoke like substance.
"Bastard!" Gray shouted taking a step towards him.
"Please wait, Gray-sama!" Juvia stopped him.
"Back then, he attacked Gray-sama's ice clone on purpose." Juvia said.
"What?" Gray said.
"There's no way a user of darkness could have been fooled by that. Juvia came here to ascertain his true intentions." Juvia asserted Gray.
"Just as I expected of one of Phantom's famous Element 4." Simon praised Juvia.
"What's going on?" Sho said.
"Sho, I pretended to do all of that to trick you and have everyone return to the tower." Simon said.
"W-Why? Why would you…" Sho said as he was about to burst into tears.
"Sho… Eveyone was deceived by Jellal." Simon kept his hand on Sho's shoulder to comfort him.
"I had to go along with you until the time was right." Simon said.
"Simon, you…" Erza said. Simon turned towards Erza.
"I believed in you, Erza… For the past eight years, I always have. I'm happy that we could finally meet, Erza." Simon said giving a smile. Erza offered her hand for a hand shake but Simon pulled her to a hug.
"What a tearful reunion!" Naruto said startling others as he was seen wiping his tears with his hand.
"Won't you agree, Sasuke?" Naruto said as he pulled Sasuke from his hiding.
"Hn" Sasuke said as he folded his hands and gave his usual reply.
"Why are you here Teme?" Gray shouted jabbing his finger towards Sasuke.
"I could ask you the same, Gray" Sasuke replied as he looked towards Gray.
"D-did you hear all that, Naruto, Sasuke?" Erza asked.
"Yeah! Pretty much from the beginning. We would have come here earlier but Sasuke insis-.." before Naruto got to finish his statement, he received a smack on his head from Sasuke. "Aw! What the hell Sasuke,"
Erza walked towards Sasuke. He just stared as she approached him.
"I bet you are laughing your ass off now, aren't you?" Erza said as she glared at him "after listening to my past."
"You are wrong! I am not some idiot to laugh at somebody's past" Sasuke replied surprising Erza a bit. She always thought of him as a cold jerk who had a lot of attitude. Well, it is true for most part but Sasuke wouldn't go that far.
"Besides if I were to laugh at your past, it would be like laughing at my own and rolling on the floor for Naruto's and Mira's" Sasuke said in his usual stoic expression. Erza couldn't make it whether he was serious or it was sarcasm based on his expression but she somewhat understood that Sasuke had undergone similar events as her. She was now curious about his past due to his reply. And also how Naruto's was similar to Mira. Who knows…maybe he might tell her later about it or she would demand it as he heard her past.
"Though we may have similar pasts, you were never bent on revenge. You have found new comrades and have filled the hole in your heart caused by Jellal" Sasuke said reflecting a bit at his own. Naruto looked down when he heard Sasuke's reply. Bringing Sasuke back to the village was the reason Naruto decided to get stronger. It was all the motivation he needed to become as strong as he was today." You are strong willed, aren't you?" Sasuke said.
'Did he just praise me?' Erza thought as her eyes widened at Sasuke's unexpected reply.' Maybe I am actually going to die today.' She caught her head as in having a head ache.
"Why… why did everyone believe in Nee-san so much?" Sho said as tears rolled down his cheeks." Why wasn't I able to believe in her?" Sho shouted." Damn it" he said as he hit the floor with his fist.
Erza walked over to him and crouched" It must be difficult for you to accept all this. But let me say this: for the past eight years, I have never once forgotten any of you." She hugged Sho "I am sorry I was too weak" she comforted him.
Sho's eyes widened in shock. He had expected her to be angry with him but she in turn asked for forgiveness. Sho's tears ran down without restraint as his sobs of anguish were muffled against Erza's neck.
"But now you can do it. Isn't that right?" Simon said receiving a nod from Erza.
"I have been waiting for this moment a long time." Simon said looking over to the rest of the people "Waiting for many powerful mages to gather here."
"Powerful mages?" Lucy said.
"To fight against Gerard… We'll need to work together. First, we must find Natsu" Simon said receiving others approval as well. Sasuke took a step forward-
"I am sorry for doing this" Sasuke said gaining everyone's attention.
"What?" Gray said.
"Sharingan" Sasuke said paralyzing everyone with his Genjutsu as they all looked at his eyes except for Naruto.
"W-What the hell Sasuke? What are you doing?" Naruto said.
"They will be paralyzed for 5-10 min. That should give us enough time to get to the top. We are going to defeat Jellal by ourselves Naruto,… or are you too scared!" Sasuke said provoking him.
"Teme!" Naruto said as he glared at him.
"Meet me at the top" Sasuke said disappearing from there as a puff of smoke arised.
Naruto released the Genjutsu by pouring some of his chakra into the others. As they regained consciousness, he sprinted towards the exit hoping to reach the top without much interference.
"What happened?" Lucy said.
"Seems like we were paralyzed by Sasuke" Erza said getting up.
"We'll have to hurry and find Natsu first. Let's go!" Simon said as they all moved out.
They were currently sprinting on the stairs. They were discussing their strategies before they were interrupted by the tower's intercom. Jellal began to speak over with a tone of superiority as if he was a god playing a chess game. The twin of Siegrain welcomed the intruders by announcing the start of heaven's game where the goal was to prevent him from using Erza as a sacrifice for Zeref or get defeated by three warriors set in place. He added that in order to make the game more interesting, the council will be firing Etherion on the tower in an unknown amount of time much to nearly everyone's surprise. Sasuke remained calm as he had already deduced that there was a traitor in council leaking the information to Jellal. But something didn't sit well with him.
Sho was once again reminded of the man who had him dancing around the palm of his hand like a puppet as he grits his teeth in anger. The card using mage pulled out a magic card and sealed Erza in it who was taken by surprise. He then fled from there before others could react. He kept shouting that he 'll be the one to take revenge against Jellal.
Meanwhile, others regrouped and they divided the group to cover more ground to search for Erza. Simon went looking for Natsu. Gray chose to go by himself meanwhile Lucy and Juvia formed the last group.
Lucy and Juvia faced Vidaldus, one of the three warriors. He was carrying his signature guitar with an insane expression.
Natsu faced Fukuro only to be joined later by Simon and Gray. The second member of Trinity Raven was an odd one. He had the head of an owl while the body of an extremely muscular man wearing a jet pack. A weird combo to put it together.
Sho faced Ikaruga, a pink-haired swordswoman wielding a nodachi standing on a traditional Japanese type bridge. The bridge was surrounded by cherry blossom trees dropping the pink petals like during the times of spring.
Sho was defeated in an instant and Erza managed to break out of the card by deflecting one of the Ikaruga's attacks and breaking the barrier.
"A blade that can cut through the dimensional barrier is amazing in itself, but to use the distortion from that blade in a split-second… That is Titania's power" Sho thought.
She reequipped into her Heaven's wheel armor.
"Heaven's wheel circle sword"
A circle of swords appeared behind erza and were charged right towards Ikaruga.
"Mugetsu – Ryu… Demon's Empty Flash"
Both her swords and armor didn't stand for long as they were both shattered by Ikaruga's attack.
"Mugetsu – Ryu… Garuda Flame"
A slicingwave of fire soared across the bridge towards Erza. Erza immediately reequipped to her Flame Empress Armor to counter her attack. But this armor was also destroyed by Ikaruga's attack.
"What will you do now? Will you reequip into your strongest armor?" Ikaruga said.
A magic circle appeared under Erza's foot and she reequipped into her Purgatory Armor.
"You will regret this." Erza said angrily. "None have ever seen this armor and lived to tell the tale!" Erza said.
"So that's your strongest armor!" Ikaruga said.
Erza charged right in to attack Ikaruga with her mace. But Ikaruga was again able to destroy that armor instantly.
"Do you not understand? Regardless of the armor, it cannot stand against my sword. You should concede." Ikaruga said.
"S-She can't win… Nee-san can't win…" Sho thought.
"This is the end, Titania" Ikaruga shouted.
"Mugetsu – Ryu… Garuda Flame" the flames reached the target and there was an explosion. Ikaruga's hair swayed back a bit as if something swooshed past her. She confirmed that when she found nobody at the site when the smoke cleared. She turned back to see a Raven haired teen wearing a similar style dress with Red and white fan symbol on the back.
'When did he-' She thought as she turned around to see Erza on his shoulders and Sho near his legs.
"This isn't like you, Red. Losing at the hands of someone as weak as her" Sasuke said as he placed her down.
"Who are you?" Ikaruga said annoyed as the new entrant just called her weak.
"Am I not glad to see you. Didn't you say you were gonna go the top?" Erza said as she looked at his Black onyx eyes.
"It took me some time to learn the layout. This happened to be one of the ways" Sasuke said as he looked at her "Then I saw you were in a pinch, so I have come to give you some advice"
"Advice!? Advice for what armor to use? All her armors are useless!" Ikaruga shouted as she found herself laughing. Didn't that stranger get that none of the armors would work against her. Erza stared at Sasuke to see what he was going to tell her.
"You are strong enough without the armor. You don't need it" Sasuke said as she blinked at him" Didn't you notice it yet? Why do you wear your armor all the time?"
"What do you mean?" Erza asked not sure where Sasuke was leading to. Her eyes widened when he crouched to her level and poked her fore head with his finger.
"Think about what did you do after you left the tower? What did you learn?" Sasuke said getting up and taking a step away from Ikaruga and towards the place Jellal was. "Meet Naruto and me at the top after you defeat her" with that said he started walking away from there.
"Do you really think she can defeat me? I think you should be providing her some assistance instead of advice-…HEY DON'T IGNORE ME" Ikaruga shouted.
Erza stood up and reequipped to her breaking down character armor. To simply put it. It is not an armor; it is just a simple outfit made of fabric.
"That is not an Armor. What could you be thinking? Aren't you underestimating me a bit?" Ikaruga said "Or, have you gone like insane after listening to him"
"Nee-san, what are you doing? You've still got many strong suits of Armor left, right? You are stronger than this!" Sho said.
"I am… I am not strong… Countless friends have died before my eyes. I wasn't able to protect any of them. And then… I was always crying. To get stronger… To make myself feel stronger… I closed away my crying heart… by donning Armor. I wear armor because I am weak. I was afraid to remove it… I believed that armor would protect me. But that was my mistake. The armor gets in the way, blocking hearts from each other. Fairy Tail taught me this… It showed me how close people can be with each other… The warmth that comes from them… I won't be led astray any longer! I will give it my all… to defeat you." Erza said getting to her offensive stance' I think I finally got what he meant'
Erza and Ikaruga both headed towards each other. In a flash, Erza and Ikaruga attacked each other and landed on the ground. Erza's one sword was destroyed by Ikaruga.
"The match is settled…" Ikaruga said before her sword was destroyed by Erza. "Truly impressive… Titania." She said and fell to the ground whereas Erza was still standing.
"Amazing! You really are so amazing, nee- san!" Sho said.
"Are you unharmed, Sho?" Erza asked Sho.
"Yeah, somehow…" Sho said.
"This is my very first defeat since I joined the guild, but neither you nor Jellal will be the victor." Ikaruga said.
"What do you mean by that?" Sho said.
"15 minutes… The light of justice. Shining down from heaven, bright Bringing death to all." Ikaruga sang a poem.
"What a dreadful poem!" Erza said.
"Is it Aetherion she's talking about?" Sho said.
"Sho, right now, take Simon and my friends from Fairy Tail away from this tower. Immediately!" Erza said.
"B-But… What about you Nee-san?" Sho said.
"I have a score to settle. Don't worry about me Sho. Take the others and leave the tower. I will be alright." Erza said.
"Okay, Nee-san. I will take the others and leave the tower." Sho said and headed towards where the others were.
Meanwhile,
With Lucy and Juvia,
"Natsu!" Lucy shouted.
"Natsu-san" Juvia shouted as well. Lucy and Juvia were looking for Natsu.
"His ears are really sharp, so he should have heard us by now." Lucy said.
"Same as Gajeel-kun, then. Then his nose must be sharp too." Juvia said.
"Did you just call him -kun?" Lucy said as she sweat dropped.
"I wonder why I have to search for Natsu-san together with you, Lucy-san." Juvia said.
"Ignoring me, huh? But then again, I guess there's no other choice." Lucy said.
"I have no choice but to do it for Gray-sama… but to be stuck with one's rival in love is just… I wonder what kind of calamity will befall me." Juvia said as she blushed while thinking about Gray.
"Look, I'm trying very hard not to be involved in any of this. L-Let's just get along, all right?" Lucy said in a comical way.
Just then they heard loud electric guitar music.
"What's that sound? A guitar? But it's too loud!" Lucy said closing her ears unable to listen.
"Juvia thinks he's pretty good at it." Juvia said.
"Seriously, something is wrong with you." Lucy said.
They saw a man carrying a guitar and playing it few yards away from them. He was a pale man with long hair and makeup. He rotated his head several times and shouted just like a rock star.
"It's a live performance from hell! Destroy!" That man said with an insane expression on his face.
"A snake god!" Lucy said.
"Assassin's Guild: Death's Head Caucus. It means skull, get it? Pretty awesome name, right?" that man said.
"The three warriors Jellal mentioned just now…" Juvia said.
"I am a member of Trinity Raven. Vidaldus Taka, that's who I am. Rock you!" Vidaldus shouted as suddenly his hair grew and it started attacking Lucy and Juvia.
Lucy dodged them all but Juvia stood there. He attacked Juvia but it didn't affect Juvia.
"Huh? That's an interesting body you have there." Vidaldus said laughing.
"Juvia's body is made up of water," Juvia said.
"Good luck, Juvia. I'll just be here." Lucy shouted from behind.
"No physical attacks can work on Juvia." Juvia said as she raised her hand and water surrounded her entire body.
"Water lock"
"Rock? You're a rocker too?" Vidaldus said. By that time, Juvia engulfed him in water not allowing him to breathe.
"Too easy." Juvia said.
"As expected from a member of the Element 4! You would be real scary as an enemy." Lucy appreciated Juvia.
Juvia thought it was an easy victory against Vidaldus. But it didn't exactly happen as Juvia thought. Vidaldus absorbed all the water with his hair and his hair shined as a result.
"Juvia's Water Lock is gone?!" Juvia said in amazement.
"It feels great to wash your hair with water in the morning. But shampooing every day will ruin your hair." Vidaldus said.
"Bastard, how did you disengage Water Lock?" Juvia asked.
"My hair can absorb liquid. But not oil or alcohol, since my hair would be ruined then." Vidaldus said.
"Water has no effect? No way." Juvia said.
"But you girls aren't so bad looking…" Vidaldus said as he laughed.
"There it is! As usual!" Lucy said.
"What do you mean?" Juvia asked.
"Being this cute is the source of all my troubles." Lucy said praising herself.
"I-wonder-which-one-of-you-will-become-a-devil-in-my-hell." Vidaldus started saying a rhyme trying to pick one of them with his hand and at the end of the rhyme his hand pointed towards Juvia.
"That settles it! Today you'll be my succubus!" Vidaldus said to Juvia. Vidaldus's hands began to fly across his guitar as sparks flew from the friction while its internal motor began to spew purple magic. That purple magic surrounded Juvia and caught her. Her body began to shine. There was smoke everywhere.
"Juvia!" Lucy shouted.
After the smoke was clear Lucy saw Juvia. Her whole appearance changed. She was wearing a marron color type of shirt and a black pant. Her hair was loose. Her skin was pale and she had make-up just like Vidaldus.
"Hell! Hell! Hell! I'll show you the deepest and darkest depths of hell!" Juvia shouted with an insane expression.
"What on Earth just happened" Lucy said in confusion.
Vidaldus started playing the guitar and Juvia was being controlled by it.
"Juvia… Is this being caused by the guitar?" Lucy said.
"That's right! Any woman who becomes a succubus will only obey to my commands. However, brainwashing both of you would have made the game much less interesting. I've always wanted to see a cat fight between two women." Vidaldus said.
"You're the worst!" Lucy said.
"The worst? That's the best compliment!" Vidaldus said.
Juvia sent a water wave towards Lucy. When Juvia's water was about to hit Lucy a puff of smoke appeared in front of Lucy and Juvia's attack was evaded with bare hands which came out of it.
"What happened, Lucy? And where is Juvia?" Naruto asked as he turned back. Lucy, then realized it was he who evaded the attack just now.
Lucy pointed towards the paled-skin lady who had makeup and said, "That is Juvia."
"WHAAAT! That lady over there is Juvia." Naruto yelled as he slapped the sides of his face in shock" Poor Gray. I wonder what will happen to him!" Naruto thought as a dark cloud of depression began to form over his head. Lucy just sweat dropped at his antics.
"Wait a sec! Lucy, what are you doing near Jellal's throne room. I thought you avoided fights as much as possible" Naruto asked as he placed his hand on his chin. Lucy just sighed and replied-
"This is nowhere near Jellal's room. I think you lost your way again." Lucy said." I have been fighting this guy. He can apparently control people and absorb water with his hair" she said pointing to a psychotic maniac with the guitar.
"Why what would happen if you provide him with more water than he can absorb?" Naruto said as an idea struck" I know Lucy; why don't you summon Aquarius here"
"Yeah! Why haven't I thought about it? You are a genius Naruto" Lucy said as Naruto rubbed his nose with his finger. "Yeah thanks Lucy. You know-… CRAP I FORGOT ABOUT JELLAL. See ya later" Naruto said waving his hands and ran as a trail of smoke appeared behind him.
'I wonder what Sasuke meant by saying he would roll down on the floor for Mira's and my past. Does that mean she went through the same things as me? Damn that Sasuke! How does he get the other girls to talk about their past to him' Naruto thought in annoyance about the Avenger 'But she is so nice to everyone…? I will ask about it after we get back. Hope she will tell me about it!'
Back with Lucy,
A water gun was sent towards lucy. Juvia's hand appeared from the water behind Lucy, caught her head and threw her to the ground.
"Juvia! You said you wanted to join Fairy Tail, right? Then stop attacking your own friends like that." Lucy said.
Vidaldus started playing his guitar and started singing "Hey, you! Hey, you! Let's feel the vibe! Get her!"
Juvia attacked Lucy with a big wave. Lucy used this opportunity to summon Aquarius.
"Open gate of the water Bearer! Aquarius!"
Aquarius came out of the water. Aquarius is a celestial spirit. She is a mermaid having a head band, Three peircings on her tale, a golden belt at her waist and light blue crystal earrings. She carries a Jug type in her hand in which she stores how much ever water she wants.
"As long as there's water, I can summon the most powerful spirit, Aquarius. All thanks to you, Juvia" Lucy said.
A tick mark appeared behind Aquarius's head and she shouted "Shut your mouth already. Stupid little girl!"
The whole room was full of water because of Aquarius.
"Didn't you pay attention! I already told you that my hair can absorb water!" Vidaldus said and started absorbing all the water. But as a result of too much absorption of water, he lost all his hair making him bald. After Vidaldus was defeated Juvia went back to her original state. But Lucy and Juvia were in pretty bad shape and became unconscious.
On the steps outside the tower, Simon was carrying Natsu on his back. Just then Natsu woke up.
"Finally opened your eyes, Natsu?" Simon said.
"Huh? The last thing I remember is being caught up in some weird vehicle…" Natsu started puking just by remembering that he was caught up in some vehicle.
"Stop that! How can you get sick just by remembering it?" Simon yelled at Natsu.
"What happened after I became unconscious." Natsu asked Simon.
"After you were devoured by Fukuro, Gray came and saved you." Simon said.
"Gray?" Natsu said in surprise.
"But Gray took quite a lot of damage. That cat is carrying him away from here." Simon said.
"I can't believe this! I lost and Gray won?" Natsu shouted.
"It's not like you really lost. You were just eaten." Simon said.
"At this point, there's only one thing to do! I will fight that bird and take revenge." Natsu yelled.
"This is not the time for that!" Simon said.
"Wait a second… Who are you?" Natsu asked Simon.
"I'm Simon. An old friend of Erza's." Simon replied to Natsu.
"Oh, I see. Nice to meet you." Natsu said.
"Listen to me carefully Natsu. Millianna and Wally found Lucy and Juvia collapsed on the floor, along with a defeated Trinity Raven. They don't know the details of what happened. But they've agreed to carry your friends out of the tower. I've been contacted by Sho, confirming all three trinity raven have been defeated. Now only Jellal is left to defeat. Sasuke, Naruto and even Erza is heading to defeat Jellal. I beg of you… Please save Erza…Jellal is a cunning man. He must have laid traps for other two" Simon said.
"No way" Natsu said.
"Huh!?" Simon was baffled by Natsu's response. Little did they know that Tobi was waiting eagerly for them to climb the stairs.
"So you finally made it uh, Naruto" Sasuke said looking at his partner.
"It's your fault for running off first. By the way, why are you waiting in front of the door?" Naruto asked. They were currently standing in front of Jellal's room.
"I was waiting for you, Idiot" Sasuke yelled. It was unnatural for Sasuke to lose his cool but he did tell him about the meeting," Didn't I tell you already!"
"Hai hai! Let's go now," Naruto said pushing the door open.
"My, my… Game Over already?" Jellal said getting up from his supposed throne.
"Yeah! It's over for you anyway" Naruto said as both Sasuke and Naruto stepped in. When they both walked in and were near the Blue lacrima crystals in the middle, Jellal gave an evil grin.
"Sasuke! He is up to something" Naruto said taking a defensive stance. Hn, was the reply he got from the Last Uchiha. They soon understood the reason for his grin. They both were on their knees, panting. Sasuke noticed some sealing placed beneath the floor on which they were standing or rather on knees and palms at the moment.
"So you realized it uh… it's Fuinjutsu, one of Uzumaki clan's specialty, your clan Naruto. It seals your chakra and restricts your movement. You cannot escape it until either the floor is destroyed or you are dead due to Chakra exhaustion. How are you now going to defend yourself against this attack now" Jellal said raising his hand and pointing it towards Naruto. A golden ball of magic energy was created at the palm of his hand.
But he didn't fire the shot. Instead he brought his hand down and averted his gaze behind them.
"It's been a while, Erza"
"Gerard…"
Regarding the EMS and Kyuubi mode, there are going to be there in this fic after Tenrou incident before GMG arc.
Should i include Menma and the other Sasuke as well somehow... if anybody has some ideas regarding on how to involve them, they can post PM me or post a review.
