Naruto x Eclair x Sonya
Take-Over: Dragon Soul-Naruto
The night was young and the moon shined brightly than ever before. The village of the Phoenix was celebrating the yearly festival of the phoenix being sealed away. The priestess was dancing to a lively beat to a group of instrument players her body moving to and fro with each beat of the drums. A man watched with a smile o his face as he looked at the merriment around him. Swaying to the music the man couldn't help but smile as he was drawn in by the beat. However his enjoyment wasn't to last as he felt something off. Turning he watched with wide eyes as a man with a sword cut down a member of the phoenix village without a care in the world.
With that chaos erupted and the people began running around in a blind panic. The man ducked underneath the swing of a enemy word and kicked the man away relinquishing him of the weapon in the process. He then watched as the priest that had been chanting the blessings of the phoenix grabbed the priestess and ran over to a small shrine which held a small shard that had been cut in two where he quickly grabbed it and then blocked several spears that had been thrown with his own body where he quickly disappeared with the priestess leaving only her small helmet that would honor the phoenix allowing gravity to take hold where it clattered to the ground.
Nodding to himself he begins to work his way over to the other half of the shard cutting down enemies left and right. He ducked under a spear that had been thrown before looking at his attacker. Drawing his head back he gives off a loud roar as he releases a large amount of flame from his mouth at the man and watched as he was consumed by the flames. On and on the fight lasted through the hours. The man was now exhausted. He had the half of the shard, but he had nearly been cut in half trying to take it away from the enemy. His chest had a large hole in it courtesy of his enemy before him. He wouldn't let this enemy have the shard as he knew what they wanted.
Quickly gathering what magic he had left to spare he called upon a pair of feathery wings which sprouted from his back where he quickly took to the sky flying off into the early morning. He didn't know how long he flew away from the enemy, but he flew as long as he could. However he was dangerously low on magic, so much so it could kill him. His wings vanished as the last of his magic faded from his body and he fell down to the ground with a loud crash. He could feel his eyes drooping as the world of darkness and with that the last sight his eyes held were of the missing priestess running up to him and placing a blue vial up to his lips and a solitary drop of liquid made its way into his mouth.
-400 years later-
It has been four centuries since that fateful night and the world was none the wiser of the crisis that had been avoided. Currently in the city of Aassa a lone man was walking without a care in the world. His enhanced senses could hear a battle going on, but since he wasn't involved into the fighting he didn't care about it. The man was rather tall and had long bright blonde colored hair which around waist length and tied back into a ponytail, with two shoulder-length bangs framing his face. He carries a sharp calculating gaze; his eyes have black circles around them showing that he had his guard up as something was off in his opinion.
For attire, he dons a high collared, black cloak, a sleeveless, black-colored muscle shirt underneath his cloak, sharp red claws around his neck, a sash around his waist, a gold arm ring tightened around his right upper arm. He has loose, beige pants tucked inside studded black boots, and a pair of black fingerless gloves paired with similar wristbands There were black lines under his eyes which extended down his face, going all the way to the bottom of his chin. On his upper right arm was a golden Phoenix tattoo. The sound of running caused him to turn where he quickly saw a man who was laughing about escaping prison run by... only for a ring of fire to surround both him and the running convict.
He turned to faced the man and extended his arm where it transformed into a club made of black metal. The club extended where it crashed into the man's head knocking him out effectively. It was at this time that another blonde came running out of a alley to see the man knocking her pay-er the convict out with a club of metal similar to Gajeel's own which made her gasp in shock. The man turned to face her and allowed for the ring of flame to die down. Lucy walked up to him with a it of awe in her eyes. She gave a bow "Thanks for stopping him for me, you have no idea how much time you saved by doing that." she said graciously to the man.
The man shrugged "Doesn't matter just a means to a end right." he said and she nodded her head to her fellow blonde.
Lucy stuck her hand out to the blonde dragon slayer, or so she thought, and smiled "Names Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia. May I ask what your name is?" she asked him.
The blonde shrugged his shoulders and shook her hand in return "The names Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki. It's nice to meet you." he said to the buxom blonde.
Lucy giggled "Well thanks anyways for stopping this guy for us, I'll see ya around." she said as she watched Naruto walk off while waiting for her team to come and help her drag the crook back to his prison.
Naruto shrugged and continued on his way. As he reached the end of a pier he called upon his wings and flew off like he was never there to begin with. Several hours of flying later and Naruto decided he would need to get some rest and descended from the sky to land. Looking around Naruto noticed that he was surrounded by mountains and a very lush forest that was teeming with life. He sighed in contempt as he took a deep whiff of the air around him. Releasing a relaxed breath Naruto decided it would be best to find a suitable meal and settle down for the evening for some rest before he continued his search for her later on in the day as it was still early in the afternoon.
However before he could move he flt a presence he hadn't felt in a long time. Reaching into his shirt he pulled out a small shard that was cut in half with what appeared to be a phoenix carved into it. He narrowed his eyes before his vision changed. Looking around Naruto took notice of the devastated land around him. He knew where he was... he was within the seal that housed the phoenix itself. Hearing a loud roar Naruto looked up to see the soul of the very being he held trapped around his neck and Narrowed his eyes. "So what is it you want phoenix. Last I checked you wanted to destroy all of humanity." he said to himself.
He knew, that the phoenix knew he was there as the seal never opened for anyone other than himself. Not many people would know it, but the phoenix had a latent ability of its own, besides causing chaos and giving immortality. It had the ability of foresight. He watched as the vision played itself out. The phoenix was causing fireballs to rain down from the sky, and before the phoenix stood a mighty dragon. The dragon was almost in a league of its own with the amount of power that was apparently rolling off of it by just standing. This would usually drive off any unwanted adversary, but the phoenix is no ordinary foe as it too was in its own league.
The dragon's body is mostly covered in thick green and white scales. His eyes are golden brown and circular with amber colored pupils and black sclera; around his eyes are small white markings which continue around the back of the dragon's neck. The dragon has a flat skull with a flat nose and a powerful jaw. Around the dragon's mouth and climbing up the snout, and on various other parts of his body, the dragon features light, jagged markings. Additionally, the dragon's cavernous mouth is filled with razor sharp teeth. His back has numerous black spikes, reaching down from the back to the end of his tail, which, in itself, ends in a stinger-esque shape..
The dragon's lower body, specifically its chin, chest, stomach, inner tail, thighs, and arms, are gray in color, and appear to be rather smooth. Additionally it has two sharp horns which have four, large, elongated plates extending backward on either side of them. Attached to the dragon's chin, is a protrusion that resembles an arrowhead. For each of its four legs the dragon's four-fingered claws are complete with dark, shiny talons. Each claw sports five talons each: four in the front, and one in the back. The dragon also has noticeable scars on his stomach and neck, with the largest one located around the center of the chest.
On the dragon's nose is a small protrusion pointing upwards. The dragon sports extremely large wings; quite proportionate to his already-large body mass. Of all its draconian features, the most notable are the exceeding amount of sharp protrusions on the various parts of his body: large tusks jut out from and curve around either side of his jaw; the scapulars of the wings also feature large, spiked protrusions. The dragon has a dark green colored mane running down its back and arms, which appear to be connected to its powerful feathery wings. With a loud roar the mighty dragon charged at the phoenix with the intent to kill it and remove it from the world.
Naruto watched as the dragon continued to strike the phoenix with powerful blows while moving in a circle, almost as if it were dancing. Ha now that was funny, a dragon dancing that is. Dragon's didn't dance unless they were fighting in a fight against a enemy of either equal or greater force than they. The dragon ducked under a swipe from the phoenix's wing before rearing back its head and releasing a tidal wave of flame at the phoenix. The phoenix gave a shrill cry as it literally walked through the flames as if they were nothing to it. Once again Naruto watched as the phoenix began trading blows with the dragon tearing the city they stood in asunder.
THe vision faded shortly after and Naruto had to shake his head to clear it of the images the giant chicken, as that is what it looked like to him, had shown didn't like what he saw as it showed that the phoenix would eventually free itself from its prison. The two shards of the phoenix stone housed its powerful prisoner like this his half of the Phoenix stone held the soul of the phoenix, while Eclair held the body which no longer housed the stone. As long as the two shards didn't join the phoenix wasn't going to get free, but if put together the phoenix would be free to rampage as it pleased until nothing of the world remained to stand on.
He grit his teeth in anger at the thought. If the phoenix won then all life on earth was gone, and then only the phoenix would remain, and he did not... no he would not allow for that to happen. His power began to spike as he grew angrier and angrier. He had to find a way to make sure that the phoenix didn't escape to cause havoc. First things first he had to get his frustration out. Several hours and a couple of destroyed mountain peaks later Naruto sat down with a sigh. He had moved past the mountains he destroyed, as he figured someone would investigate, the blonde decided to rest up before moving on to find his beloved Eclair and see if she still held her half of the phoenix stone.
-Three weeks later-
Naruto was walking through a city, he didn't particularly care for its name, and wasn't watching where he was going like he should have been. So when he bumped into someone and knocked them down he shook his head and saw he had pushed a young girl with long blue hair that was put up in pigtails. He shook his head and spoke to the girl "Oh my bad I wasn't watching where I was going." in a apologetic tone.
The young girl brushed herself off and waved him off, albit a bit embarrassed, and gave a small chuckle "I-it's ok it was also my fault as I wasn't watching where I was going either." she said before she got a whiff of his... scent.
She perked up "You smell like a dragon!" she said suddenly before she clapped her hands over her mouth in embarrassment.
Naruto raised a eyebrow "What about it?" he asked the teen.
The white cat with her huffed "You dolt she's trying to ask if you're a dragon slayer." as she, as that was a feminine voice, placed a hand on her hip. The girl looked both appalled and embarrassed. Appalled because her cat had spoken like that, and embarrassed because it was true.
But Naruto nodded his head "In a way of sorts I am a dragon slayer. My actual magic is Take Over and with it I can use the power granted to me by the souls I have to use dragon slayer magic." he told her.
Wendy looked confused "You use Take Over like Mirajane-san, Elfman-san, and Lisanna-san? What kind?" she asked him.
Naruto had to hold back a sigh as he looked to the child "I use Take Over: Dragon Soul. By extension I have the ability to use Dragon Slayer Magic." he told the girl which surprised her. This man had the ability to take over the souls of dragon's? That was amazing?
She looked at him in honest surprise "That's amazing. My name is Wendy Marvell and I am the Sky Dragon Slayer." she said introducing herself to the blonde.
Naruto shrugged his shoulders "And my name is Naruto Uzumaki young dragon slayer." he said to the girl.
Wendy gained a embarrassed look "Do... do you think you can come to the Fairy Tail guild so that you can meet the other dragon slayers we have? I'm sure they would like to meet another dragon slayer, or well at least somebody that has the ability to use dragon slayer magic." she said. Naruto didn't know why he accepted, but he would soon be glad he did.
He shrugged his shoulders at the girl "Sure I guess. Lead the way." he said to Wendy. Wendy beamed in excitement at the blonde accepting her request to meet Natsu and the others. She was sure this would be an experience like no other, and as fate would have it... it would be.
Walking in the guild he noticed that there was a group of people gathered around a woman who looked as if she was about to pass out. Naruto couldn't see her all that well, but she felt familiar. However Wendy drew the crowds attention "Hey guy's what's happening?" she asked getting several heads to turn and face them. From what Naruto could see there was a redhead wearing a suit of armor, a blonde with a set of keys on her belt, a pink haired teen that looked more dumb than smart. Well that would be a surprise if he was indeed smarter than he looked as the pink haired teen was just dumber than he thought he might have been since he had pink hair.
Next to him there was a man that seemed to be subconsciously stripping with a girl that had long wavy blue hair who was also stripping. Then there was a man with a lot of metallic piercings with a short blue haired girl standing next to him. After them there was a man with a lightning bolt shaped scar with a trio of people standing behind him. There were two men and a woman. One man had green hair and had a sophisticated look about him, the other wore gothic clothing while the woman had light brown hair and a air of confidence around her. Finally there was a trio of white haired people that resembled each other. Most likely siblings or close cousins.
The blonde haired woman gave a wave to Wendy "Hey there Wendy." she said to the child.
However it was Natsu who answered the girls question "Well Lucy just came in with this chick, and she seemed pretty weak so we had Porlyusica look her over and then we put some food in her belly." he said to Wendy.
The pierced teen looked at Naruto "So who's the guy Wendy? I honestly didn't think you were the kind of kid to drag in older guys." he said with a smirk.
Naruto looked to the teen "Names Naruto Uzumaki. you got a problem with that?" he asked the man.
Gajeel raised his hands in a calming manner "Easy bub I was just joking." he said to Naruto.
Wendy decided to get back on track. After calming down her blush she spoke, albit a small amount of her face was still red, after clearing her throat "He's a Take Over Wizard and has the ability to use Dragon Slayer Magic." she said surprising the group. The white haired trio was surprised most as they never met another Take Over Wizard besides Jenny from the Blue Pegasus guild.
Natsu got a eager look in his eyes "That's so cool. What kind of dragon slayer magic do you use? Why have we never heard of you?" he asked the blonde haired man eagerly getting groans from some of the people around the table. Why did Natsu have to be such a loudmouth at times like this?
Naruto decided to humor the teen "I don't know if I should answer that. How would I be able to defend myself against an opponent who likes to flap his gums rather than put his opponent to the test." he said causing Natsu's fun attitude go out the door as he got angry.
Natsu walked up to him "Hey listen pal I don't know who you think you are, but I don't like the way you're addressing me." he said.
Naruto raised a hand "I meant no harm. I was just saying that a dragon slayer or rather in my case I need too keep some secrets." he told the teen.
Natsu glared harder "Ok how about this then. If you beat me, Wendy, Gajeel, and Laxus in a spar I'll stop bothering you." he said dragging his fellow dragon slayers in on it.
Laxus and the others glared at Natsu "Natsu don't drag us into your battles." he said to the rosette.
Gajeel nodded his head "Yeah Salamander leave us out of your squabbles." he growled out at Natsu.
Naruto chuckled "Wouldn't bother me. As it so happens I think I can humor this brat as well as knock some sense into him at the same time." Naruto said to them.
Now Wendy was openly glaring at Natsu 'Geez Natsu-san you just had to drag us in on your little argument." she said to the fire slayer.
Laxus sighed "Well seeing as he dragged us in on this I don't see why we don't just humor the guy." he said while he rubbed the back of his neck.
With that they all walked out behind the guild, as a four on one fight was sure to be destructive, and got ready. Naruto then got a good look at the woman that they were helping out and nearly gasped in shock. It was Eclair! What was she doing here? Why couldn't he sense the other half of the Phoenix stone around her neck anymore? Éclair is a slender young woman of average height with amber-colored eyes. She has moderately brown hair which extends down her back and is normally tied up at the back while her forehead is framed by several bangs. Éclair 's outfit is designed with a primarily scarlet color scheme while framed around the side with a yellow, white and orange pattern-like design and a white choli worn underneath.
Éclair's body is adorned with jewelry such as golden bangles worn around the wrists of both her both arms, gold brassards worn on the middle of both her upper arms as well as gold anklets worn above her ankles and brown sandals. Naruto had to force himself to hold back a sigh of longing as he looked at the love of his life. He couldn't help but feel bad for the last time he saw her when he wiped he of her memories. He only did it so that when he went to do something personal he would eventually meet up with her again at a later date and time where he would eventually fall back in love with her. She was his soulmate, his other half and he had done so much bad he couldn't help but let her keep her purity.
-Flashback-
Naruto and Eclair stood outside a small village. Naruto had a sad look on his face at what he was about to do to her yet again. Naruto looked at Eclair "Eclair-chan you know that the only way to keep the phoenix sealed is for us to part ways." he told the woman.
Eclair shook her head "No Naruto-kun I don't want you to go. Please don't leave me again. I don't think my heart could handle being left alone without you." she said with tears in her eye's.
Naruto shook his head "I can't do that Eclair-chan. Besides... with each time I wipe your memories and meet with you again I can't help but continue to fall in love with you." he told her before he waved his hand.
-Flashback End-
Naruto shook his head as he removed his cloak revealing the phoenix tattoo. He heard Eclair give a silent gasp as she understood what the tattoo meant. She wasn't the last one from the Phoenix village... He looked to the four dragon slayers "So how do you wanna do this, because either way each of you will get beat one way or another." he told them.
Gajeel smirked "I don't know I mean you are up against four prominent dragon slayer's and one of us is a powerful S-Class wizard." he told Naruto.
Naruto looked to the girl Gajeel had been standing with and pointed at Gajeel "Are you sure bolt for brains isn't just that, a bolt for brains?" he asked her.
Levy giggled as Gajeel raged about how he was smarter than the Salamander and he didn't have bolts for brains. Natsu gav a laugh as he looked at Naruto "Well are we going to just stand here or do I have to make you dance to my tune?" he asked Naruto.
Naruto looked to Natsu "Natsu-san dragon's don't dance. And even if they did a dragon shall only dance when drops of fire have rained down from the heavens." he said confusing the pink haired dragon slayer.
Natsu cocked his head "What the heck does that mean?" he asked.
Laxus shook his head "Doesn't matter just shut up already Natsu. You bring more trouble than you know." he told Natsu.
Naruto looked to Laxus "Well as the metaphorical battery of this group shouldn't you be providing more than just your charismatic looks?" he asked confusing the scarred blonde. Did he just insult him or compliment him? He was pretty sure that was a insult, but he didn't know how to comment on it. Naruto got into a ready stance "Any time you feel ready you may start your punishment." he told them. What the heck did he mean by that?
Natsu didn't care apparently and lit his hand in flame before he charged at Naruto "Alright then take this "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist" he called out as he threw the punch at Naruto only for him to miss.
Naruto ducked under the strike before rolling out of the way of a iron club courtesy of Gajeel. Naruto called upon his magic and aimed his fists at both dragon slayer's "Titanium Dragon's Club" he called out as his hands morphed into clubs similar to Gajeel's except his clubs had large studs on them. The two clubs struck the dragon slayer's causing them to cry out as they were driven away from him. Laxus smirked as he figured out his opponent's weakness was lightning.
He drew his head back "I got you now "Lightning Dragon's Roar" he called out as he released a large bolt of lightning at Naruto... only to be shocked when Naruto swiftly inhales the electricity into his body.
His eyes went wide "What the hell! How'd you eat my lightning without being roasted?" he asked his fellow blonde.
Naruto chuckled at Laxus "Oh come, come now you didn't really think that I would only know one specific type of dragon slayer magic. I may not show it but I can use several dragon slayer magic elements. It just so happens that Titanium, and Lightning are two of them. Kinda like this one is "Sky Dragon's Roar" Naruto calls out shocking the audience once again. He could use Sky Dragon Slayer Magic as well? Did that mean he could also use Fire Dragon Slayer Magic as well? However what they didn't expect was a large twister to come out of Naruto's mouth.
Naruto fired his own sky dragon's roar just like a normal dragon slayer would. The difference was that his own Sky Dragon's roar was a lot bigger and packed a lot more power than Wendy's own as it tore through the ground and continued sailing forward ripping even more trees and debris from the earth, and sending them flying everywhere. Naruto watched as Wendy stepped forward and inhaled the twister of wind without much trouble. He watched as the young girl opted to not attack and instead went over to Gajeel to heal the bump on his head. Natsu got up and drew his head back "Payback Naruto "Fire Dragon's Roar" he called out releasing a wave of flames at the blonde.
Naruto ignored the shouts of him to get out of the way, only for Naruto to inhale the flames as he had done with Laxus's own lightning. Natsu seeing this growled before he entered his powerful Lightning Flame Dragon mode. Naruto quirked a brow "Oh so I'm not the only one with the ability to enter a multi element mode. Interesting indeed." he said as Natsu released a powerful wave of lightning and flame. Naruto held up a hand "But it's futile." Naruto said as he managed to block the powerful blast before he waved his hand and deflected the powerful magic.
Natsu's eyes widened "H-he deflected my Lightning Fire Dragon's Roar... with his bare hand!" he exclaimed.
Naruto decided to end it and so he called upon his take over "Take Over: Dragon Soul..." he began shocking everyone. Naruto's body began to change as scales began to grow over his body until Natsu saw what appeared to be a dragon slayer entering the dragonforce "Scales" Naruto finished as the last of the scales grew over his face. He charged and planted a fist in Natsu's gut before he vanished with pure speed and appeared behind Laxus. Drawing a fist back he let fly and struck the scarred blonde in the face. He vanished again and appeared behind Gajeel and Wendy. He kicks Gajeel in the back of the head while bopping Wendy on the head as 'lightly' as he could.
With that the dragon slayer's went down. Laxus had a broken nose, Gajeel now had a massive headache as it felt like his father Metalicana stepped on his head. Natsu was trying not to puke as his stomach hurt so much, and Wendy was trying not to cry from her aching head. He deactivated the spell and wiped his nose "Now... anymore challenges you want Natsu-san?" he asked and Natsu shook his head no.
Mirajane couldn't help it "How do you know Take Over Magic?" she asked.
Naruto shrugged "I can't personally say, but from what I know only a Medjai can use this particular type of Take Over Magic. Unfortunately I am the last of the Medjai." he told Mirajane.
They all, except the dragon slayers, cocked their heads to the side in confusion. Lisanna asked the million dollar question "What's a Medjai?" while everyone nodded in agreement. They never heard of a Medjai before. Eclair had to hold back her surprise.
But nevertheless she answered "He's a sacred guardian." she said drawing their attention.
Erza crossed her arms "Please explain to us just what do you mean by this?" she asked the priestess.
Eclair nodded her head and pointed to Naruto's arm "You see that golden Phoenix on his arm? Well it shows that he is labeled a sacred guardian to the Phoenix Priestess, it's a high honor to have that symbol on your body." she said.
Erza was confused "Phoenix Priestess? You'll have to forgive me but I have never heard of the Phoenix Priestess before. Can you explain what you mean as from what I know a Phoenix is a large bird that rebirths itself by burning its old body to ash." she said.
Naruto stepped forward as he replaced his cloak "I am a guardian to the sacred treasure the Phoenix Stone." he said bringing the shard out of his shirt "Which just so happens to be sealed inside to small shards. One of which is always around the leader of the Medjai neck. The other is always worn by the Phoenix Priestess herself." he said replacing the necklace back inside his shirt.
By this time the dragon slayers had recovered and stood up and were listening closely to what Naruto was saying. Erza looked to the blonde warrior "Why would you seal such a creature away if you don't mind me asking? And how would she know of this Phoenix Priestess if none of us have heard of her?" she asked.
Naruto shrugged "Well if you wanna know so much I'll tell you. The Phoenix is more than just a bird, it is a beast of unparalleled power and can spell doom for all of humanity if allowed to rampage." he told her.
"Rampage? Why would a phoenix go on a rampage?" she asked and once again Naruto shrugged.
"I'll get that one in a moment. You wanna know how she knows of the Phoenix Priestess?" he asked.
Erza nodded her head and Naruto pointed at Eclair "It's because she herself is the Phoenix Priestess. But for the life of me I cannot fathom is why I cannot sense the other half of the Phoenix Stone around your neck." he said looking at Eclair.
The exposed Priestess looked down "It is because I was robbed. Someone wanted the Phoenix Stone shard, but what reason remains a mystery to even me. I have been searching for the person who stole it for several months now. Forgive me for failing in my sacred duty." she said with a bow to the warrior.
Naruto waved her off "It is ok. As long as I hold this half of the stone no harm shall befall us." he said to Eclair.
-Meanwhile in the city of Veronica-
The man was staring out a window as he spoke "My request is actually quite simple you see." the man said turning around to face the wizards who were kneeling in front of him. He held up the missing half of the Phoenix Stone "If I were to join this half of the mythical Phoenix Stone with its missing sister half something extraordinary will happen." he said placing the shard back where it was before. "I have heard that the missing half to this priceless item has been found around a simpleton's neck." he told the still silent wizards. "My kingdom is soon to celebrate its four hundredth anniversary and I want that other half of the stone." he said.
He turned back to the window "That is my wish. I want to put the two stones together at the sacred ceremony and dazzle the people with the marvel as I claim the prize bestowed upon me by the Phoenix itself." he said as a glimmer of greed entered his eyes.
The lead wizard spoke up "We will gladly retrieve the missing half of the Phoenix Stone Duke Cream" the wizard said, "But the question on our mind is but a simple how shall it be done?" he asked.
The Duke turned around and pointed at the wizard "You have but one task and as such you have but one chance to help me in this endeavor or I shall have you thrown in a prison for the rest of your lives." he said to them.
"I want you Carbuncle wizards to retrieve the stone from this wretched peasants neck and bring it to me before the ceremony to celebrate the anniversary of this cities founding. I don't care if you have to pry it off this man's cold corpse I want that stone. Bring it to me and I shall reward you with the amount of the number of years which is equivalent of 400,000,000 Jewel and your weight in gold times ten." he told them.
The wizards looked up "And if we fail?" he asked.
The man scoffed "Then you lose both the money and gold and I will see to it that the lot of you rot in a dungeon for the remainder of your years." he said without a care in the world.
-Three days later-
Naruto sighed as he walked along the road with Eclair and Team Natsu. Naruto wished he could undo the memory seals he had placed, but he knew if he did so she would not only be angry she may never love him like she did in the past. Right now they were headed to the the City of Crocus as Fairy Tail had been issued a order to get to the castle by the king himself. The castle lay before them and Naruto honestly did't know why he and Eclair had opted to stay with the Fairy Tail Guild other than Eclair was to weak to travel such long distances. He had a idea as to why, but he couldn't be sure as it was just a hunch so anything was possible.
Upon reaching the castle they were greeted by the king and his daughter. Naruto introduced himself as the last Medjai and Eclair as the last Priestess of the Phoenix. They were surprised that the king welcomed them with open arms, but hey it wasn't that bad. Now they were sitting around a decent sized meeting table and the king was addressing a missing artifact of great power. The Dragon Cry Staff. "The dragon graveyard as you know houses the skeletons of deceased dragon's from long ago." he said and the Fairy Tail Wizards nodded their heads. Erza had heard of it from the group about what they had seen during the Grand Magic Games and was surprised such a thing existed.
The king sighed "What many don't know is that long ago a wizard crafted a staff that would suck all the rage and sadness the deceased dragon's had accumulated over the years. It was called Dragon Cry." he said.
Naruto leaned forward "Your highness. If I may as to be so bold may I request to see this dragon graveyard. I believe I can obtain some much needed information from the deceased dragons with a technique I developed several years ago." Naruto said.
The king shrugged and snapped his fingers where a knight stepped forward "Arcadios shall lead you to the graveyard where you may use this technique on the dragon's. I ask that you do not take any bones from their resting place." he said.
-Dragon Graveyard-
THe Fairy Tail wizards looked around at the dragon's with wide eyes. Sure this wasn't the first time they had seen a dragon or a dragon skeleton, but the sight was still amazing nevertheless. Naruto looked at the nearest skeleton and sighed "I hope you can forgive me for disturbing you rest dear friend, but I must know what troubles the world so much." he said as he extended his arms while crossing them.
The skeleton rumbled as Arcadios stepped forward "I specifically heard his majesty say you must leave the dragon remains alone and undisturbed." he said as he placed his sword against Naruto's neck preparing to kill the blonde.
Naruto scoffed "I'm not trying to steal the dragon's skeletal remains. I have to move them in such a way that the bones form a perfect skeleton before I can utilize my spell to recall the dragon's soul to a body. My spell is far more dangerous if I call upon a spirit that is unwilling to help and as such I must search the essence from the bones for a proper spirit so that the bones can host the dragon. By doing so I secure not only your safety, by Lady Eclair's as well so don't disturb me." he told the knight. His eyes closed as he searched for a dragon before he spotted a small cluster of bones in several places throughout the large chamber of dragon bones.
Naruto thrust his hands into the air and several skeletons rose up from the ground and made their way towards the group. Naruto clasped his hands together with his fingers intertwined and began chanting "Oh spirits that have lost their way come forth and guide me on the right way. I ask that those of the honorable souls to show themselves in flesh and blood for what I must know is as dire as the end. Come forth and reveal yourselves to me." he called out. With that five of the skeletons began to morph and grow muscles and flesh before they were covered by individual scales. four of the dragon's were recognizable, but the last one was a mystery.
The dragon's that had revealed themselves in order were Igneel the Fire Dragon King, Metalicana, Grandeeney, Zirconis, and finally Ishwar. Naruto kneeled before the dragon's as they looked about in confusion. Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy looked at their parents with tears in their eyes. Well Natsu and Wendy did as Gajeel was trying to be strong. Igneel then looked down and saw a kneeling Naruto and his son standing behind him "So it was you who summoned us from the pure land eh?" the fire dragon said to Naruto who nodded his head showing Igneel that he was indeed the one who had called him back to speak with him.
Natsu stepped forward "Igneel you're back." he said as he ran up to his father and hugged his leg.
Wendy lost her composure as well and ran to Grandeeney and embraced her mother as well. Igneel looked down at Natsu and then back to Naruto "Human I thank you for reuniting me with my son, but I can assume that we have not been called back to speak pleasantries." the dragon said and Naruto nodded his head.
"Yes Igneel-san we are not exchange such pleasantries. I have called upon you all to ask what has become of the Dragon Cry staff as well as the missing half of the Phoenix stone. You five are the ones who can sense such a calamity so I request your wisdom." Naruto spoke.
Grandeeney looked at Naruto "To know such knowledge means that you hold half of the Phoenix stone." she said and once again Naruto nodded.
"Yes ma'am I do as I am the last of the Medjai. The other half of the Phoenix stone was stolen from Lady Eclair and I can only assume that they will come after the half I guard with my life in order to revive the Phoenix." he said.
Zirconis hummed in thought while Metalicana leaned forward "You have also requested knowledge on the Dragon Cry Staff. I can only assume that this weapon was stolen from your possession from someone seeking to destroy the world with either the Phoenix or the wrath of the dragon's." he said.
Naruto shrugged "That is unclear at the moment. What we know is that two possible parties are seeking to destroy the world." he told the dragon.
Zirconis spoke up "If the Phoenix were to be released countless lives would be lost to the beast's wrath. However the Dragon Cry Staff contains the unadulterated rage from countless dragon's. The amount of anger and sadness contained inside is enough to destroy a common man a thousand times over." the jade dragon stated Matter of factly. The group of wizards, sans Naruto and Eclair, gasped in shock at what they had heard from the Jade Dragon's mouth.
Igneel cleared his throat gaining their attention "The Dragon Cry Staff, was originally empowered by the emotions from the deceased Dragons that that damnable Acnologia murdered during the Dragon King Festival. All of the power sealed inside has the sufficient power to destroy the world if released by magic circles that rain down energy beams across any continent even one the size of the continent of Ishgar. However the staff has the power to replenish the health and body of a weakened Dragon, or in another case help a Dragon who used the Dragon Soul Technique into a regular human to be released from their body." he said.
Now they were worried. There were people out to destroy the world with not only the rage of the dragon's, but the power of a mad phoenix. This wasn't good. Naruto cleared his throat "Honorable dragon's I request you to sense where the other half of the Phoenix Stone and the location of the Dragon Cry Staff so that they may be retrieved and locked away and guarded until there is a sufficient time to destroy them." Naruto said to the dragon's. Ishwar looked to Naruto "If it is a request we shall gladly do it, but what of the world after? Will you seek to destroy the world or will you safeguard it like you do with the Phoenix stone around your neck?" she asked.
Naruto looked to Ishwar "I seek to protect my home, my people and the world itself." he answered. The dragon's all nodded their heads and began to sense the world around them as a whole. THey then extended their senses out further and further still until their powerful senses had enveloped the world as a whole. Several minutes of patient waiting soon paid off as the dragon's looked down at him "The other half of the Phoenix Stone is located in the city of Veronica as it is called while the Dragon Cry Staff is locked away in a vault on the Island Kingdom of Stella as it is called. Remember these items must not either be reunited or used." Grandeeney said.
Metalicana leaned down "The Phoenix is the harbinger of a new day and age and has the power to raze the world into nothing as it will be the only survivor. While on the other hand the Dragon Cry Staff shall bring the world to its knees with the rage of a thousand dragon's." the dragon said to the human warrior and the group who nodded their heads. Zirconis and Ishwar began to crumble while Igneel, Metalicana, and Grandeeney stayed put unharmed. Metalicana stood still as he looked at Gajeel "You who have revived us I request that you let us spend time with our human children." he said and Naruto nodded as he took the others away to let them have some privacy. Now the search for the Dragon Cry and Phoenix Stone was on...

Let the games begin...
Well that's an official wrap. Tell me what you think and I will see you guys later.
-Spells and Magic abilities Naruto will know and have throughout the story-
Take Over: Dragon Soul-
-Naruto hasn't shown his full power as a Take-Over wizard and has yet to utilize the full body take over spell which would essentially turn him completely into that of a dragon.
-Take Over: Dragon Soul-Wings; This spell allows for Naruto to sprout a pair of feathery draconic wings which give him the ability to fly as he pleases. This spell is almost an identical spell to that of the magic known as Aera Magic which the Exceed species from Edolas uses to fly around with.
-Take Over: Dragon Soul-Scales; When using this spell Naruto's form is similar to that of a dragon slayer entering the dragon force. As such it enhances his speed, power, magic as well as several other aspects that are beneficial to him in a fight. Surprisingly enough it doesn't consume as much magic as a dragon slayer using the dragon force.
Shapeshift-
-Although he will probably not admit it, Naruto's Take Over Magic is similar to that of Shape Shifting as he also has the ability to freely will his body to shift into a draconian battle form to fight his battle if he wants to.
Dragon Slayer Magic-
-Over his long life Naruto has learned to use the inapt ability to use the powers of the dragon's he has taken over in the form of dragon slayer magic. So far he has demonstrated the ability to use Lightning-Fire-Titanium-Sky Dragon Slayer Magic although he has only eaten two of the four elements so it is unknown if he does in fact know these elements enough to use them in combat. Although he hasn't shown it Naruto has stated he has the ability to combine certain elements to make a more powerful element he can use in battle if he is ever pushed too far that he has to utilize this particular aspect of his Dragon Slayer Magic.
-Dragon's: Roar; Basic breath attack any and all dragons and dragon slayer's know.
-Dragon's: Wing attack; Cover's arms with a dragon element and uses it to fight his enemies.
-Dragon's: Talon; Cover's foot with a dragon element and uses it to fight his enemies.
-Dragon's: Sword Horn; More along the lines of a enhanced headbutt to the enemy.
-Dragon's: Iron/Hard Fist; uses a element wrapped hand to strike a enemy down.
-Dragon's: Crushing Fang; covers hands in dragon slayer magic and swipes at the enemy potentially cutting them.
Memory Manipulation-
-Naruto uses this magic to erase Eclairs mind so she has the potential to continue falling in love with him each time they meet. Although he doesn't like using this branch of magic Naruto states that with each meeting he falls in love with Eclair more and more. Not unlike a stalker who will continuously follow the person of their desire, Naruto genuinely loves Eclair with all his heart and soul and would willingly give his life to ensure Eclairs own survival even if it meant his eventual 'death' at the hands of an enemy.
Telekinesis-
-Naruto has shown to be able to use this magic to lift large items that equal the size of a dragon with ease. He uses this magic primarily to move obstacles out of the way. He can also use it to launch large objects at his opponents or to pick them and hurl them about. He can also use it to repel attacks against him.
Soul Retrieval-
-Much like Wendy Marvell's Milky Way spell Naruto uses this magic to call upon the souls of the dead, to be specific the souls of dead dragons. When shown the Dragon Graveyard Naruto uses this spell to call upon the lost souls of dragons that have died long ago. When speaking to Igneel, Metalicana, Grandeeney, Zirconis, and Ishwar they all relay that the Dragon Cry staff must not be used to bring the earth to its knees much like how the phoenix must not be revived for the world would end.
-Quotes-
(To Natsu Dragneel) "A dragon shall only dance when drops of fire have rained down from the heavens."
(To Eclair) "With each time I wipe your memories and meet with you again I can't help but continue to fall in love with you."
(To Erza Scarlet) "The Phoenix is more than just a bird, it is a beast of unparalleled power and can spell doom for all of humanity if allowed to rampage."
(To Laxus Dreyer) "Well as the metaphorical battery of this group shouldn't you be providing more than just your charismatic looks."
(To Gajeel Redfox) "Looks can be deceiving. The only way to know what is right from wrong is to do what your heart tells you to do."
(To Levy Mcgarden) "Are you sure bolt for brains isn't just that, a bolt for brains?"
