To crimson11116: No worries! that is why I implemented Sasuke to have Itachi's eyes in this story, he'll use it only after coming to a major decision. I know...yes, he's going blind; that will also factor into his decision. Thank you for the review! :D

To Lightningblade49: Thank you for the idea! yeah! I will make Sasuke cross paths with Naruto but only after a long time! :D...thank's for the review!

To marze09: And I love your reviews haha :D

To Apocalypse Legionaire 117: Not enough crazy Sasuke in this chapter but maybe in the next! :D EMS Sasuke will come into play after a major decision that Sasuke will take when he's with Erza. :O no way! Sasuke didn't kill Itachi!...Itachi let himself die! Sasuke could never kill Itachi! =.=" it is an insult! Itachi would beat down Sasuke anyday!

To War Acolyte: Thanks a lot! yeah...I really need to re-check the chapters before I post, usually I go back and fix the mistakes but have been lazy as of late, will start again hehe. Thank you for the review! ^_^

To reven228: Crazy Sasuke will have a lot of clashes with Erza. Thanks! hope you continue to read! :D

To AAAAAHHHHHH: Glad it's got you hooked! :D I hope you continue to read! :D

To TrumphantLoser: hhaha! thank you for your interest! :D I hope you continue to read and I hope you enjoy the story!

To xbox432: Hopefully...I get his crazy side right, thanks for the review!

To mooseman3: Thank you! hope you continue to read!

To Theunfunny9: Actually...In some of my other stories, Sasuke is broody but in this he's not cause I wanted to cover his guilty crazed side. Thanks for reading! :D and thank you for your review

To Notsomerandomguy: Thanks! I don't really see the need for Sasuke bashing, if anyone needs character bashing, it's obito :P thanks for the review!

To Guest: Eh...it's not a SasukexErza fanfic...

To Xjustified: Crazy Sasuke is not fun! :O he's crazy ahhaha

To HokagenoNaruto: yeah sorry for not updating! had a writer's block! will be frequent with the updates! hope you continue to read! :D

To Wyxlan Lonestar: You guessed correctly! Erza will be a trigger for Sasuke's conciousness, it'll play out alot more in the chapters to come! thanks for your input! hope you continue to read! :D

To tibo: It'll be a lot of work, first he has to come to terms with himself not being in his own world, secondly it's gonna drive him to an edge to search for a way back; hopefully I can pull it off. Thanks for the review!

To Doobie the Dubee: "bat-shit insane" Sasuke?...O.o...Raiden fan! high five bro! :D :D i considered that, but the only thing he would do...is rest or brood but considering the personality I had intended for Sasuke..he wouldn't just sit still. And no I don't think I'll give Erza, Itachi's eyes...Sasuke will be too sentimental about it. He won't part with it. And also Itachi's eyes are inactive meaning his eyes are coal black. The sharingan needs to be online in order to be useful to a non-uchiha as in Kakashi and Obito's case.

To Darth Lelouch: Haha will do! hope you continue to read! :D

To KitsuneDragon: I haven't actually thought about Sasuke joining Fairy tail at the moment, I'm still wondering about that since evry crossover in the naruto and fairytail section is starting off with joining fairytail. Hopefully some of the suggestion like your wandering mage suggestion might make me start planning for things to come. Thank you for the review! :D

To NightFire237: Oh no worries, he will have an epic encounter with Naruto...but it'll be really far into the story hehe :D

To Danish78: Actually...haha revenge to redmeption was my first ever story, it was the first time I ever got into writing so that's a possible reason why this feels more better than revenge to redemption, it's cause I've kept writing stories..so it's helped me inprove alot with so many reviewers chiming in with their opinions too :D hehe...I hope you continue to read! thank you for the review!

To Led Floyd: Sorry about that! will be more frequent with the updates!

To KINGREADER: He has Itachi's eyes in a a container, if you recall the Sasuke vs Itachi fight, Itachi pulled out Sasuke's eyes in the tsukuyomi and put it in a container containing chloroform, I believe. He'll get the EMS after a major decision.

To Metsubou: Thank you so much! :D

To Johno 343: Hahahah, I'm not that good man but if I can write this good, it's cause of Jesus blessing me with this talent. :D...if you write a story, you're passionate about then in my opinion you're a pro already and you can write better than anyone else. All you gotta do is compete with yourself hehe :D thank you for the review

To blueper: Thank you! hope you continue to read! :D haha..Erza did get lied too lol...sorta, a white lie! hehe

Sasuke was able to fight Kakashi and use 2 chidoris, one against Sakura and another against Naruto! so I assumed he had a greater restoration rate than Kakashi. THank you for the review! :D hope you continue to read!

Chapter 2: Despair


Silence...

It's very being drowned out Erza; she stood in front of the older boy, an outcast...a pariah. She had not seen him before save for the four to five hours that had gone by so swiftly. And in those hours, she had seen the power of a mage or rather, what she believed to be the power of a mage and she had to wonder...who was this person?.

She drew blanks and her gaze rested on his face which looked down at her, his coal black eyes dancing with amusement yet his face, the scarred being of seriousness had not even a hint of sympathy or...compassion. A moment ago, he had denied that he was a mage; sending her staggering back with a poke. It had irked her, irritated her...it was as if the very action was mocking her strength.

Heh...he thought in mirth, his coal black eyes danced at what the little girl before him had accused him off. A mage?...what was that? or rather who was it?. He was a shinobi; someone who endured. Not a mage or whatever it was that the scarlet haired girl had dubbed him. He gazed at her in cold calculating eyes and the little girl? she looked back at him with a glare. He watched as her arms stretched to the sides of the small torn skirt she was clothed with. She shouted.

"If you're not a mage! then what are you? only mages can do what you just did!"

He tilted his head to the right, the very action; a shot at amusement, his lips drew into a straight line "What...would you call a mage?" he questioned.

Silence...just as he had expected, she let out a surprised gasp; and Sasuke watched as she fiddled; murmuring...his eyelids half closed on itself, and his patience grew thin; the answer did not present it to him. A waste of time...with a single strain of thought, he stepped to her side and walked forward, away from her into the confines of the cellar dungeon cave.

Her lone eye widened, and in an instant she turned to see him walking away from her; the symbol of the Uchiha clan embedded onto the back of his shirt. "Wait!" she called out. He didn't stop, moving forward; her shouts fell on deaf ears and then his question was answered.

"A mage!"

His ears perked up and he stopped but he did not glance back. Seeing that her shout had stopped him; she continued "A mage is someone who uses magic!"

His eyes widened ever so slightly. Magic?...the gist of fairy tales?...finally deciding on the matter that the girl behind him was lost, lost in a world of her own; he walked forward once more, ignoring her running footsteps. She raced ahead of him and placed herself in front of him. Her lone eye pleaded and Sasuke blinked in surprise. Her short panted breaths drew his attention and she began to speak once more.

"Where?...where are you going?"

With a glance, he stepped to her side, "None of your concern..." he replied, and then walked forward once more. Only to be stopped, he turned back to see her right hand clenching the cloth wrapped around his waist. Determination...a term that was relevant to him. He decided to spare her a chance to see what it was that drove her.

"Aren't you going...to free the others, nii-san?" she pleaded.

"Why should I?" he questioned, nonchalantly.

A low gasp and a widened eye were all the answers he needed to see that the girl in front of him was shocked at his indifference to the blight of the prisoners. "B-but!...you can save them, can't you? Rob jii-san told me that people who have power are supposed to help others! so why won't you help them!?" she grabbed his wrists and shook them. The very action irritated him, but he shrugged it off with indifference. Tears threatened to form at her lone eye and Sasuke grew weary.

"Don't confuse power for...responsibility, what I do with my power is for my own reasons; not for those of anyone else." he stated without halt.

And Erza's eyes with widened at his coldness; with an audible sigh and a serious gaze upon him. Sasuke spoke once more "Show me where they are..."

Her despair turned into one of surprise "What?!" she couldn't believe it and so she had questioned him again. He let out a grunt and his tone came out more forceful. "Don't make me repeat myself...show me where the others are..."

Her lips twirled into a smile, and she nodded her head; running a few metres ahead of him. She stopped, looking back...she pointed to the path in front of them "This way! hurry up, nii-san!"

He inwardly groaned, what had he gotten himself into?


*BOOM*

Ragged prisoners covered themselves in fear; from the resounding explosion that consumed them. The metal gate that had once cut them off from the dungeon's now stood mangled and burnt and embedded into the jagged lined prison walls.

"Wha-What just happened?" a frail eleven year old boy questioned in fear.

"Children, stay back; all of you..." another voice, this time one of an elderly man.

The children did as commanded and scooted over to the end, to the edge of the dust laden prison. The smoke in front of them cleared at a slow pace and from it; the silhouette of a man appeared. Menacing the very epitome of fear. The prisoners shivered as two red eyes emitted itself from the smoke. And then the figure stepped out of the smoke and into the prison cell. His red eyes slowly yet surely disappeared and the cold coal black eyes returned. He stopped, waited.

"Who...who are you!?" one of the voices of the prisoners called out to him.

His icy glare struck his answer all too swiftly. And the sound of small patted footsteps hit the rocky path and their attention was momentarily diverted to the second figure who arrived.

"Er...Erza!?" one of the boys' questioned.

"Her eye...she must have been through alot" an old man murmured seated next ot he frail children. Sasuke glanced at him and then his gaze turned back to Erza, with small steps she walked forward with a smile etched on her face.

Sasuke's face tilted ot his left as he looked to the small scarlet haired girl who drew up a storm of worry from the prisoners. And slowly he lost himself in the moment of the small happiness that came of reuniting the girl with her fellow prisoners. People who knew the same pain could understand each other after all. His moment of amusement was lost as the attention was now diverted on him while little Erza came up to him.

"Nii-san! they want to know who you are!" she chirped, in joy.

His gaze held steady and then fell onto the prisoners, he considered his thoughts carefully. Revealing himself as Sasuke Uchiha, the missing nin; the one who had attacked all five of the kage could have implications on the prisoners and they would be charged with aiding a terrorist.

"Never mind that..." he barked "Do any of them know a way out?"

She looked uncertain, and her gaze slowly fell back to the lump of prisoners that stood in a group to the far end of the jagged prison walls. Examining each of them, Sasuke could only see despair, sadness and the sinking feeling of being hopeless...perfect. He identified with each one of it and for that, he unconsciously smirked. Turning around, his heel connected to the base of the ground and he walked out of the prison.

"What?...nii-san! where are you going?!" Erza shouted, her tone of curiosity and concern.

"I'll clear a path. stay there.." he commanded.

"But!-"

He didn't spare her another glance and vanished into the darkness that settled in front of them. Erza's shoulders slumped and an audible sigh made it's way out her mouth. Her determined gaze however never died down and she looked over to her fellow prisoners.

"Jellal told me that we need to fight! let's fight for our freedom! nii-san can't do it on his own!" she argued and for once in a long time. surprised faces, smirks and smiles made it's way onto the face of the prisoners..

"Erza...you have grown so much" A single strain of thought ran through the mind of the old man, Rob, unconsciously a smile plastered itself onto his face and he knew that a change was coming and for that, a feeling of gratitude encompassed his heart.


"No! No! please...let me go-urrggh!"

Cries and pleas of the guards echoed in the dark drenched tower of heaven, blood flowed freely onto the ground forming a stream. Sasuke slowly stood to his full height, blood marred his face but it was not his blood...no, it was the blood of the guards who had begged for their lives. His sharingan eyes observed the sight infront of him. Another group of guards stood infront of him...blocking and denying him of a way out of the wretched prison.

He could feel their fear, he had cut down their comrades without a hint of emotion and...much to his surprise, he had savoured it. The guards shook with fear, their grips on their swords loosened. Sasuke tilted his head to his right and slowly his right arm fell to his side.

"Get out of my way..." he told them, his red eyes peering into their very souls.

"Q-quit joking! you ma-maggot! like we're going...to l-listen a prisoner!" the guard shouted. Defiance etched into his features, but if one heard clearly...fear encompassed him.

"I gave you a chance..." Sasuke said.

And in the next moment, the walls of the caves surrounding them were drenched in blood. Bodies lay scattered everywher and Sasuke stood amongst them, slowly sheathing his blade; he walked forward...and then he staggered, falling to one of his knees, he panted.

My chakra...it's not enough.

Slowly his red sharingan eyes faded into the usual coal black eyes that held no emotion, standing to his full height; he walked forward to a door that stood infront of him. Once he made it, he opened it and there...his eyes fell onto a child with blue hair, beaten and bloodied, and chained to two wooden posts. Sasuke hadn't seen such cruelty, except with...his former master, Orochimaru. It had sickened him. He stopped...and a voice rang out to him.

"Are you...here to free me?"

The child was concious, Sasuke's eyes narrowed and without an answer, he cut the bindings holding the child. he fell to the ragged floor below him and panted, bleeding. The avenger held his gaze on the boy for a few seconds.

"Now...you die!"

Without even moving an inch, Sasuke's right eye transformed into the mangekyou sharingan, the guard shivered and in a moment, fell to the ground..paralyzed. Seeing nothing more to do in the prison, Sasuke moved to exit the room but not before the child's voice rang out to him.

"W-wait...I-"

The avenger's eyes momentarily widened, and he dashed sideways avoiding a sudden attack from the child who he had saved. The small child, stopped himself from crashing into the wall of the cave and then slowly turned around to glare at Sasuke. But what surprised the avenger was the sick grin adorning his face.

"What's the m-matter?! you and I are alike...w-we both hate this world, don't we?!...I can feel your hatred!" the boy shouted, laughing.

Sasuke did not answer rather, he kept his observations to himself, This child...he thought in caution. He possesed power, power that was not meant for him. Laughing, the boy infront of the avenger grinned sadistically at him.

"Y-You! you will be the perfect t-tool to b-bring back Zeref! and then...true freedom will be mine!"

Zeref...yet again, Sasuke had heard the name of this entity, who or what was Zeref? his mind ran with questions. Blackness covered the whole room, and Sasuke could feel a sick dreaded prescence eminating from the child. "Y-you can feel it, can't you!? Zeref is here, this is the power of his hatred, his darkness! no-" the boy stopped his shouts as Sasuke let out a sickening laugh at him.

"Power?...hatred?...darkness..." Sasuke whispered, and in an instant, the blackness of the cave retreated and in it's place was a dark purple light, the child's eyes widened to see Sasuke's coal black eyes now red.

"All of that...is nothing compared to my...despair!" he shouted.

Fear overwhelmed the boy who stood infront of the avenger and cold sweat hit his face, slowly he fell onto one of his knees from the immense pressure that originated from the avenger, the killing intet threatened to swallow him whole. Slowly he raised his head upwards and glared at the avenger with the small amount of strength he could muster.

"Who...w-what are you!?"

Sasuke didn't answer, rather a genjutsu was forced onto the child before him, without another word...the child before him fell into unconsciousness. The mangekyou slowly faded from his eyes and his gaze turned upwards.

"Come out...you're testing my patience."

Sasuke's statement was unanswered, but he knew...he felt that someone else was there besides the child and himself, someone was controlling the child before him; of that he was certain. His sharigan had seen a disturbance in the child's energy network. He waited a few more seconds and then a low voice resounded towards him.

"Are you sure...you should be bothering yourself with me? your attention should lay with the prisoners, they're dying you know?"

"And why should I care?" Sasuke questioned.

The voice chuckled back at him "Because they're the only ones who know a way out of this tower..that is what you want, isn't it? a way to escape."

Sasuke remained silent, and then slowly a small smirk embedded itself onto his face "There is someone else here who does."

The voice didn't answer back, rather it knew the implications of Sasuke's statements and without another sound, the voice which played against Sasuke silenced itself. The avenger could not sense anyone around and he assumed it was a sealing type of genjutsu that was recorded to play if someone had ever breached this area.

His gaze slowly fell onto the boy before him, without sparing him another glance; he walked to the exit of the dungeon. Explosions and tremors rocked the very base of the tower and Sasuke wondered what was happening.

Inside the dungeon however, the darkness that had threatened to overcome the avenger returned once more and a voice played out to the small boy who lay unconscious on the jagged rock below them.

"Disappointing...but you'll have to do for now. Whoever he was...he had powers that I have not seen before, hatred is his strength. I have to report this to the master"


AN: I apologise greatly for not updating this story! I was concentrating on my other story Devils and Valkyries and had sorta developed a writer's block for this story, hopefully it won't happen again and I apologize for the short chapter! I will make it longer in the updates to come, until then! adios! :D if you have any questions, please leave them in your reviews

Also I'd like to thank Canna alot! she informed me of someone who had copied the premise of my previous story, I believe his name is Rizky Uchiha989...or something of the sort, I guess he's using my previous story "The one who will inherit my will" as a backdrop without my permission. I want to report him but I feel I shouldn't because I believe he's trying to make it original. The name of the copied story is " Fairy Tail: Rise of the Uchiha".

I encourage you guys to read his story but also to make sure, he makes it his own. Thank you ^_^ until next time!.
