Now, there was a new name to add to this list:
Naruto Uzumaki-the Last Knight.
Overlooking the great battlefield below, wizards and non-wizards alike fought one another at the behest of another. Wizards who fought for their friends and family. Wizards who fought for a man who called himself the Almighty. Civilians who wanted to defend their home, civilians who fought for their own selfish desires. There were demons, dragons and even a couple of the Old Gods among them. He saw it all, and he looked down upon them. Not with pity or sadness or even disgust-but faith. Faith that despite all the bloodshed, the carnage and even senseless violence; the people could come together with a single uniting force that would bring them together.
Among those who were fighting in the carnage, were the member's of Fairy Tail whom he called friend.
However, the tide of battle was in chaos, the forces of darkness were growing stronger and he could feel its overwhelming presence creeping down the back of his neck.
His friends had requested him to remain out of the fighting for as long as possible, to see if they could prevail against the darkness coming their way. But their forces were failing,overwhelmed by the sheer might of the invading enemy. He stood at the edge of the cliff, watching in silence as the next wave approached, a massive warrior standing at 8 feet 5 inches leading them with a calm stride as he walked ahead of his army-Ankhseram the God of Death.
Ankhseram was a literal God, and as such he was much taller than any mortal man or woman when he walked the earth. He bled not red, but golden blood if he ever shed any in combat-which was a rarity in itself due to him being able to kill with but a wave or point of a finger or hand. He wore old fashioned leather woven armor that covered his upper chest and his waist. He wore black linens underneath to conceal his modesty and black sandal's on his feet to walk. He also had a black cloak around his shoulders that fluttered in the breeze as it blew down from the mountains. In his hand he held a dual-headed pitchfork made of black metal and reeked of death and destruction.
Naruto felt himself growl as he looked down upon his prophesied enemy and inhaled deeply as he took several steps back and began to walk away from the cliff that overlooked the battlefield. He walked for several hundred meters before he came to a stop and turned back once again and cracked his neck and then his knuckles. It was time to join the fray once and for all, to defeat his destined enemy and save the world as he had been told as a child when he ventured up the tallest mountain he could find and prayed for a sign he was meant for something greater than being a mere person who would grow old and die a useless death.
Naruto was a tall mortal, standing at 7 feet 9 inches, not much shorter than Ankhseram stood, but taller than most men could claim to be. He wore heavy dark armor over his body with the exception being his head. The shoulder pauldrons were reminiscent of the upper portion of a dragon's skull, the lower jaws connected together over his chest right above his collarbones. The upper arms were spiked down to the elbow with black steel that was sharp enough to cut through dragon scales. His forearms and hands were covered in similar colored metals that were spiked in straight rows of metal, the knuckles of his gloves down to the first knuckle were spiked as well.
His chest was covered in a dark ebony platinum metal that was made up of a series of stacked plates which were tied around the back using small chains which hooked together. His legs were given thinner protection, but not as constricting. The armors legs are ebony steel with silver kneecaps that take the in the form of large spikes welded on. Under his armor he wears black steel ring styled chain link armor as added protection while wearing a simple shirt and pants under the link armor. He holds two weapons in hand, a large spiked mace with a harpoon lower end and a spiked Morning-star in the other. Holstering his weapons he charges ahead as fast as he can move.
His feet leave cracks with each stride he takes in the earth, rocks fill the air as he rushes towards the cliff. His body glows with his magic as he reaches the edge and leaps off without hesitation, and he spins around as his body begins to physically change in his fall. Wings sprout and beat down heavily with a clap of thunder, claws grow from his hands as long as broadswords, a tail shoots out and slashes mercilessly through the air like a hot knife through butter. And surprisingly enough, two more heads with glowing red eyes grow out of his neck as he completes his transformation, a loud roar filling the air as he soars down to the battlefield, a jet of fire blazing through the atmosphere. (1-2)
Beating his wings heavily he charged into the fray for the first time in order to fulfill his destiny.
XxX
The sound of the shrill roar from overhead alerted everyone of the incoming warrior, Erza herself going wide eyed as she saw the dive-bombing dragon of massive proportions. It was larger than Acnologia, and just as powerful if not more so. A certain spiked hair woman with a habit of cursing smirked as she looked upon the knight as he entered the fray, "Bottom line, that army is screwed." she said uncaring as she once more gazed upon the man whom she called boyfriend-having finally made him choose to forsake at least one of his vows as a knight despite having to use quite the sum of alcohol to do it.
The dragon swooped down overhead with a roar of battle, members of Fairy Tail and her allies cheering as ripped apart one of the aerial supports from the enemy as it charged ahead into battle with a single blow from its claws. Ankhseram growled as he unleashed a salvo of magical attacks on the dragon, but unsuccessful in his attempts to kill it as it somehow managed to disperse them with a unknown green aura around its body as it crashed into the ground and rolled over itself and suddenly shrank down in size just as it impacted the God of Death's body causing the immortal to roar as he was quite literally rolled over by the snarling beast.
However, as it was revealed, the beast was in fact actually Naruto as he drew his Morning-star and stabbed it into the ground by its hilt as he pulled off his lance and dug in deep to the soft earth to cause his body to spin back around from his high velocity which allowed him to avoid a slash from the God's weapon before he pushed off the ground and slammed his two weapons together to form a large sword as long as his body as his magic transformed his weapon into a mighty blade fit for a knight. The sword stabbed through the nigh impenetrable armor the god wore and slashed into Ankhseram's hip, only to be withdrawn as Ankhseram slashed at Naruto with his own weapon.
Naruto growled as he ducked under the God's arm and leapt onto his back causing the God of death to stumble as he raised his own sword up high with a single hand before he swung down causing it to bite into the immortal's shoulder, golden blood spraying through the air as Naruto once again struck true. Naruto pushed off and rolled back as he parried the strike from Ankhseram causing a massive shower of sparks to fill the air as they clashed against one another. Rolling back, Naruto prepared a stance and snarled at the now enraged God, "You dare attack your God?" Ankhseram roared out.
Naruto cracked his neck once more in response, "Did you forget, who I am?" he questioned as the two once more charged at one another, the final battle truly beginning for them. Swinging once again, the two beings lose the holds they have on their weapons, the blade and fork flying in opposing directions as the strike rips them out of their wielder's grasps in a spray of golden sparks that shower the ground around them. Not even losing a step on their fight, the God of Death leaps at the teenager and tackles him with everything he has in his being, the two rolling over one another as they crash through the buildings around them.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki, the Last Knight!" Naruto declared as he never took his eyes off his enemy, growling as he swung his fist into the jaw of the immortal with everything he had in him, a spray of golden blood filling the air with a couple teeth following immediately after showed just how much force he used to hit the God. Stopping himself from falling on his back, Naruto plants his feet and jumps into the air as Ankhseram recovers slightly before he was able to and leaps at him instead, Naruto grunting as he is struck by the God's full weight of his jump before the two roll over one another as their bout continues without interruptions.
As they come to a stop, the two combatants climb to their feet and once more re-engage, Naruto quite literally ripping a light post up out of the ground and slamming it down on the god, "Weak!" he snarls as the pole snaps in half as the god stumbles back from the blow, the two halves of the light pole fly off, smashing into a couple of Ankhseram's demonic servants and crushing them, the ground tearing up as the remains impact the ground causing several members of both sides to cry out as they cower down from the intense battling between the two giants, Naruto stepping back as Ankhseram throws a punch, but retaliates with a powerful blow to the God's spine that instantly bruises him.
"PUNY!" Naruto snarls out as he ducks under a backhand and smashes a uppercut into the God's lower jaw, "Waste of prayer!" he roars out as the Death God stumbles back and trips over his feet before he falls to the ground. Drawing a dagger, Naruto spins it in his grasp and stabs it into Ankhseram's shoulder, "And Immortality!" he snarled as he spins around the right hook and elbows the dark lord in the face only for him to immediately spin back around and give a powerful clothesline that levels the god to the ground with a explosion of sand and stone, dust filling the air from the strength of Naruto's blows of anger.
Stepping back as he rolled to his feet, Ankhseram snarls, "Brothers!" as several flashes fill the air as more gods jump into the fray with him. Ikusa-Tsunagi, a colossal, heavily muscular being with black, armor-like skin; his face resembles that of a lion's, jutting out of which (specifically from his cheekbones) two horns that resemble Mirajane's horns from her Sitri Satan Soul, which in and of themselves are eclipsed by bone-like horns that encase the jawline, and travel up the side of the head, of Ikusa-Tsunagi. On his chin is a long, pointed tuft of facial hair that appears to be a goatee, and a wild mane of hair juts upwards, growing from the top of his down past his clavicle. The Battle God also has pupil-less eyes and black sclera, and demonic, clawed hands and bestial-looking feet.
Yagdo Rigora, a stone, god with intricate designs on its body, he wore no shirt and had thick scars across his body. Around his waist is a fur pelt of unknown origins, and his feet are wrapped in the scales of dragons with the exception of his toes.
As Isula-Tsunagi lands, he rips up several large chunks of earth and tosses them aside, uncaring of his victims as they cry out while he snarls at Natsu, "Come here boy!" as Natsu cries out and tries to flee, Yagdo Rigora following close behind his brother to kill the Etherious who thought himself human. Ankhseram, soon smashes a fist into Naruto's face allowing him some leeway and chases after Natsu with his brothers, their footstep's shaking the ground under their charge as Natsu tries his best to escape the enraged immortal's.
However, Naruto wasn't put down so easily and quickly caught up and tackled Ankhseram from behind as he nearly grabbed Natsu, snarling as he and the god rolled away. Getting to their feet, Naruto grabs the kick Ankhseram tries to snap at him, and slams his elbow down on the god's leg, bruising the limb as he spins around the stumbling God and smashes his foot into his chest causing him to fall back with a roll that trips the War God-Ikusa-Tsunagi where said god quite literally eats dirt as he face plants on the ground with enough force to shake the earth from his fall.
As he tries to run past Naruto, the blond knight reaches his arm out and grabs Yagdo by the shoulder and pulls roughly before his other hand grips his throat and lifts him into the air and slams him onto the ground and craters it under him. Naruto turns back around and grabs Ankhseram where he spins him under his arm and lifts him up overhead and throws him away and lashes a foot out that slams into his face brutally drawing more blood as the god flips over himself before he crashes back down to the dirt, the God crying out as he rolls over himself trying to stop his movement.
Naruto spins around and slams his gloved fist into Ikusa-Tsunagi before he drops to a knee and punches low on Yagdo and takes his knees out from under him as Ankhseram recovers and once more enters the fray of combat. Naruto, trying to keep pace with the powerful enemies he is exerting himself to beat down is unable to evade as Ankhseram grabs his skull and lifts him up, but slams his elbow into the god's face once more taking his teeth and blood as he strikes his left jaw. However, this gives Ikusa the time to grab his other arm and spin him around and strikes him in the jaw.
Naruto grunts as he spins and ducks under a swipe from Yagdo, but is grabbed by Ankhseram and shoulder tossed over his head where he quickly rises, only for the Death God to slam his foot into his face with a powerful roundhouse kick that throws him through the air where he hits the ground hard. Climbing back to his feet, a blast of magic impacts his armor-ripping chunks of the metal off as red blood fills the air,but at a superficial level, "NARUTO!" Natsu cries out in horror. Ankhseram snarls as he returns the favor and elbows Naruto in the face causing him to stumble away and fall to a knee breathing heavily from the intense fighting he pushes himself through.
"Is the survival of your race not worth the life of one Etherious Demon's?" Ankhseram snarled, his patience running thin.
"You'll never stop at one!" Naruto declared, "I'll take you all on!" he declared defiantly as he begun his battle anew. Grabbing his sword from the ground from where it had landed, Naruto pulls another knife out and once more charges into the fray as he snarls at the trio of gods. Stabbing the knife into Yagdo's shoulder, he spins around with the god forced to follow his direction, slamming him into Ikusa as he slices up, cutting several finger's off Ankhseram's right hand-the digits falling to the ground as blood shoots through the air. Spinning around, naruto hurls the dagger into Ikusa's shoulder causing the god to stumble back and fall to a knee from the force of the strike.
Spinning around, he rips the knife out of the god and slices Yagdo across the face as he also lashes out and blacks a strike from Ankhseram's pitchfork with his sword. Stabbing down once again, Naruto rolls over Ikusa's back and pulls the knife out as he slashes up across Yagdo's stomach and spills the god's blood as he strikes out with a kick that hit's Ankhseram in his testicles causing the god to cry out in agony, Natsu and the various wizards of the guilds of Ishgar watching in astonishment as the lone mortal fights the true god's of their land unlike anything they had ever seen before.
It was amazing, beautiful even. Truly there were no words that could have described the spectacle of the Last Knight as he threw himself into mortal combat against Ankhseram the God of Death, Ikusa-Tsrugi the Mightiest Battle God, Yagdo Rigora the God of Destruction, all on his own. There were no magical spells, not blasts of energy that tore apart the earth, it was all skill of hand to hand, blade to blade, one versus three in a all out war that would only end when one side ended up defeated and laying on the ground at the victor's mercy and forced into pure submission from the power overcoming them. Indescribable in all it's profound glory. That was what this battle truly was.
Snarling as he spun around, Naruto slammed a fist into Ikusa and slashed up across Yagdo's face causing the two god's to withdraw. Stabbing his dagger down, Naruto impaled Ankhseram in the knee and spins around as Naruto snaps his leg while ripping the blade out and thrusting into his gut before punching Ankhseram in the face where he fell to his knees, only to receive more blows that literally threw him through the air where he slams into Ikusa where the two god's crash and roll over themselves. Snarling as he spins around, Naruto slices downward, amputating Yagdo's hand, Naruto spins the god around and jumps onto his back and stabs down, impaling the god's head with his knife before he brutally rips it out and drags it across the god's throat, killing him.
Naruto jumps to the ground and throws the body down and turns around and jumps back into the fray.
Do or die, this battle was for his friends, he would not give up, he would not stray from his path,he would win here, or die trying.
NO SACRIFICE! NO VICTORY!
Fairy Tail was in a bit of a bind. They had been attacked late last night by Phantom Lord once again, but upon arriving in Oak Town where the guild was known to reside, they had come across a disturbing piece of news-Phantom had been ransacked and beaten. It certainly wasn't by them, cuz they had literally been ambushed last knight as they were resting and they quite literally had just arrived to give them the business for hurting their nakama simply for the sake of hurting them and goading them into a illegal fight. However, the more disturbing piece of information, was that it was done by a single man.
Apparently the strongest wizards including Jose Porla, the Guilds very own Master who was also listed as one of the 10 Wizard Saints, were all beaten without mercy. The guild held strong people who worked for it-Black Steel Gajeel the Iron Dragon Slayer, Juvia Lockser the Water Dragon Slayer, Sol the Earth Titan, Aria of the Wind, Totomaru of the Eternal Flame, and easily several dozen other wizards of incredible caliber; all beaten by a single person. Not only the main guild, but the thirty or so other branches said to work under the main guild across the country; decimated and left in ruins.
While it was certainly a scary thought, who wouldn't be intimidated by a lone wizard taking out one of the top guilds in the country, it left them curious as to who in the hell had the power to do it all on their own and leave the building as a pile of rubble as if they only had to swipe a hand to do the deed. While they once more disembarked from the self induced mission of revenge, Erza Scarlet-one of the few S-Class Wizards overheard a conversation, "Yeah, I think I saw a figure walking away from the destruction last night." a woman said silently.
"Really, did you get a good look at least?" a man questioned, "I mean, we're talking about a lone wizard who decimated a entire guild here and left Jose Porla hanging in the town square with a list of papers containing illegal activities his guild committed under his command." he said.
"Yea, not a good one though." the woman responded with a slight shiver coming from her body, "I don't know what his face looked like as he wore a hood over his head, but he definitely wore a suit of armor, it was unlike anything I ever seen from someone who dressed as a knight or called themselves one. It was more draconian than anything, and it had me shivering in fear as he walked by the shop. He didn't say anything, but he carried himself as if he had a purpose and wasn't afraid of confronting anyone who challenged him." she said.
"Y-You don't think." the man muttered.
"It's possible, but, I thought that the rumors were only that, rumors." she responded.
"The Dragon Knight." the man shuddered.
Erza felt her brow raise, this was a first. Who was this so called Dragon Knight?
"Guess those rumors of a guy pulling those deep into their own games was a full rumor then."
Erza felt her brow raise, this was a first. Who was this so-called Dragon Knight?
"Guess those rumors of a guy pulling those deep into their own games wasn't a total rumor then."
As their talking to themselves the members of fairy tail are looking at each other as their don't understand of whats going on as a man with salmon pink hair comes up to Erza as he says "Erza whats going on?!"
The redhead shrugged, "Well, I don't know much myself and only the Master knows more about this but what I do know is apparently this was all done last night by a lone wizard."she said, swallowing heavily.
"You mean to say someone beat us to the punch of kicking Phantom's ass?" Gray asked before the pink haired dragon slayer could speak.
Ezra shook her head, "I don't know for sure, but the people around us are speaking on rumor and speculation. We need to go, before more rumors start to spread." she said as she followed Makarov back to the train station.
Upon returning to Magnolia, Erza , Natsu, Gray and Happy stood before the old man and questioned him on some of the things they had heard while withdrawing from the already defeated Phantom Lord, "Ah, I see you heard of him huh?" Makarov questioned as he swallowed some alcohol, "I'll be honest, not much is known about him despite several eyewitness accounts portraying him as a monster." he said shrugging.
By now, Mira and Lucy had joined them as the now curious conversation had drawn their attention, "What do you mean Master, who is this guy? I mean he took down a guild as strong as our own, beat six S-Class Wizards and a SS-Class Wizard on par with you, and that says something about his skill and his strength." Gray commented seriously.
Makarov shrugged again, "Like I said, not much is known about him. He doesn't break the law, per say, but he does fight for the legal side of the law." he stated, "In fact, what is known about him is he fights against and puts down Dark Guilds, not killing anyone mind you as he is a neutral party as a wizard. He doesn't join a guild as he seems to like doing things in a lone wolf fashion. His skills speak for themselves, he is easily SS-Class in power, if not higher seeing as he ripped apart the entirety of Phantom Lord and Jose who was a member of the 10 Wizard Saints much like I am, testifying to his skill as a fighter. Members of the council have given him the moniker of the Dragon Knight as his name is completely unknown. He never speaks, and he never shows mercy to his enemy besides allowing them to live." he told them.
"Is he really that strong, I mean, Phantom Lord is no joke, hell half their wizards are on par with us, and this guy just tears the entire guild apart like they were kids playing in the mud." Happy said uncertainly.
Makarov shrugged, "Like I said, again, we don't know how strong he really is besides being able to fight a Wizard Saint. What I personally do know about him, is that he seems to follow a strict code, something that even I find hard to believe. He lives like an old knight would, dresses like one, fights like one, and seems to hold the old Knights Code as his way of life." he told them.
"This is a first, what's this old code you speak of?" Ezra asked him.
"Something from the days of old, long before the Kingdom of Fiore was built, long before the legends of the Dragon King Festival even, I dare say he looks to the legends of the mystical King Arthur for his beliefs and conduct." Makarov coughed as he inhaled deeply.
"Can you explain?" Lucy asked him, blinking a couple times at the elder mans words.
However, it wasn't Makarov that answered, but Laxus, as he came down the stairs, "THe Dragon Knight isn't some mythical warrior, he's barely even a man. He's as old as I am, but a hundred times stronger than I could ever hope to be." he stated.
"Laxus!" the group says in shock.
"When'd you get back?" Natsu asks him.
"Just now actually, couldn't help but overhear your conversation about the Dragon Knight." he quipped back.
"Can you tell us anything about him, I mean we only just learned about the guy, but he seems like a total monster to fight." Gray pointed out.
Laxus hears this as he thinks So, they want to know about him do they?' as he walks walks up to them, "I can't tell you much, but I have encountered him once on my travels." he told the group causing them to perk up.
"Well, what's he like?" Ezra questioned
Laxus snorted, "He's powerful, more so than both Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail's strongest wizard's combined, and he's tall, easily seven and a half feet, and his armor, it's heavier than you try to comprehend. But-" Laxus said, "You will never meet a more hard working and dedicated warrior." he told them, "He doesn't fight for money or notoriety, he does it to protect the people. He gives money freely, never asking for favors or requests, but he does it out of honest work." he explained, "I met him while he was up at a shrine praying for forgiveness, apparently he believes in the old monogamous God, not the multiple pantheon versions that our continent is known for praying about. And before you ask, I did speak with him on why he does what he does." he said.
"He lives just like Gramps said, by the ideals described in the Code of Chivalry that were emphasized by the oaths and vows that were sworn in the Knighthood ceremonies of the legendary King Arthur to their highest degree. These virtues were said to be: Purity of Heart, Valor, Virtue, Honor, Integrity, Celibate, Mercy, Generosity, Faith, Hope, Honesty, Liberality, Sagacity/Wisdom. Despite being only 18 years of age, he upholds the standards and ideals of the Knights of old to the highest degree. I don't know his name, but he swore on the grave's of his mother and father he would do his best to make sure what happened to them never happened to another and so, he begun to look to the old legends and took them as his faith. His calling I guess you could say." he told them, "Also helped me change my perspective on life too." he old them.
"How so?" Gray asked curiously.
Laxus shrugged, "He explained that evil isn't something one is made, but one becomes through their own ambitions. So, after hearing this, I decided to take some things he said to heart and it opened my eyes quite a bit." he told the Ice Wizard.
Makarov chuckled, "Sounds like you admire him." he said as Laxus snorted.
"In your dreams old man." Laxus responded, "But, I do respect him, cuz he did kick my ass a couple times before it got through my thick skull." he told them.
Natsu and gang stares at Laxus with wide eyes of shock, excitement and curious, starting with Erza as she says "Wait you fought him? Where?! How?!"
Natsu gets in front of he, blocking Erza as he says "I want to fight him! Where do I find him! The knight guy!"
"No Natsu, he'd tear you apart." Gray cried out, "Laxus is stronger than the both of us put together, or did you forget he's up there on the level with Gildarts?" he said.
"It doesn't matter, I wanna see how long I'd last!" Natsu bit back.
"You wouldn't a single second against that kind of power!" Gray called back, "Did you seriously forget what he did last night? He tore apart the entire Phantom Lord Guild, a guild that rival's our own with wizard's on par with us and Gramps, hell their own Master was a member of the 10 Wizard Saint's and he still lost to this guy, he literally tore apart a whole guild on his own, two dragon Slayers, and Jose. You'll die trying to fight him!" Gray pleaded with the moron he called from.
"Natsu, that's enough, there will be no searching for him. If he is as strong as he is, then Gray is right. If he can fight the entirety of Phantom, Jose Porla and walk away then he isn't someone you should try to challenge, you would be injured or worse and I cannot allow that to happen." Makarov stated, "For now, let's just be glad there is someone willing to do the dirty work where we cannot. Our friends have been avenged, Phantom will more than likely be disbanded and Jose arrested for assaulting us if those rumors we heard were true. There is nothing we can nor will do to this individual. We will not speak of this any further." Makarov put his foot down sternly.
Natsu huffed as he crossed his arms, "Fine." he pouted, "But I still wanna fight him." he grumbled.
~XxX: Fiore Mountains-XxX
In the solitude of the mountains was a alter, two pictures stood surrounded by small candles and a couble sticks of incense. Kneeling before this alter was a young man with blond hair that had red tips. He wore a white shirt and simple brown pants and traveler's boots anda green necklace around his neck. He had his eyes closed and his hands put together in prayer. As he finished his prayer he opened his eyes revealing deep blue pools of sapphire.
Naruto Uzumaki had finished his repentance for his needless fighting.
And that is gonna be a wrap. LIKE/FAVORITE/FOLLOW and show the concept some love and don't forget to COMMENT/REVIEW to tell me what you think of it
1: Naruto's armor resembles Grimlock from Transformer's Age of Extinction, but not with the T-Rex shoulder Pauldron's.
2: Naruto's transformation is similar to Dragon-storm from Transformer's the Last Knight.
