Fairy Tail's First Guardian

Chapter 4-Marking the world

Previously: "This is awesome I feel as if I know a Take-Over spell rather than Dragon Slayer magic." the dragon said. "Yeah... and unfortunately you have to learn how to control yourself even in that form or else there could be serious consequences down the road. Are you ready to learn how to control that form as well as your other magics?" the man asked while Naruto nodded his head yes. With another wave of his hand Naruto shrunk back down until he was human once again.

"That. Was. Awesome." Naruto said as he emphasized each word that he spoke."I"m sure it was, but right now we have things to learn." the man told the giant blond who was still smiling like a madman. "Well... let"s get started..." Warrod said cracking his knuckles. "Indeed." Precht agreed. "Uh... ok I guess I"m ready." Zera said while Yuri shrugged and Mais nodded her head showing she was ready to learn.

Naruto and the other"s were sitting around a small fire that Naruto had built and were meditating. "I don"t get it why do have to meditate again?" Yuri asked as he peeked through an eye. "The power to use magic comes from both within and without. The first thing you need to do is focus on the world around you. The best way to do this is through meditation." the man told them picking up a stick where the tip glowed with heat. Placing he glowing tip to the bark of a tree he began to draw symbols. Warrod and Yuri squinted as they tried to get a better look but they couldn"t see what he had drawn on the bark of the tree he stood by.

"You"re to far away dammit." Yuri said to the man. "I"m sorry but I can"t get any closer to you." he told them scratching the back of his neck. "Now to know magic you must know what makes it up. Spells are the concentration of and physical release of one"s magic power that they possess inside their bodies." he told them pointing to the tree. "I have a feeling that we don"t possess that kinda power." Warrod said. "Well technically two of you have magical power but then again the dragon slayer has more than all of you combined by several times over so he"s already a wizard. So technically speaking he doesn"t need to do this as he already has magic." he told the group of students that he had taken.

"Complete horseshit if you ask me." Yuri whined out. "It"s because he"s been training since he was little in his magic so it"s the only explanation that I can tell you." he told them. "Now once you all understand how Magic Power works you will be able to use magic. Let me break it down for you." the man told Yuri. "Wizards and magic power go hand in hand. Without it they can"t use spells. The base on which all magic comes from is called Ethernano." he told Yuri. "Ethernano?" Yuri asked him. "Yes it is in the atmosphere and our bodies absorb it in order to give us the power to use magic. Without this power you can"t use a spell." he told Yuri.

"By absorbing it into their bodies wizards can call upon spells. The more they have the more spells that they can use. Once a wizard runs out of magic they can"t use the more powerful spells they know. With enough rest they"ll refill up their power they have spent. In short there is no limitation to the limit of Ethernano in our atmosphere to use." he told the group as Precht began to glow with magic particles around his body. "Well Precht it seems you were destined to be a wizard after all." the man said praising Precht on the accomplishment of finally obtaining the power of magic, while everyone else was surprised he picked it up so quickly.

"Lucky." Yuri said in jealousy. Naruto sat quietly listening to the world around him. He didn"t know why he continued to meditate, but he didn"t really care as he alrady knew most of the things the man told them. Warrod glowed green next causing his eye"s to shoot open in shock at how potent the energy was. "Look at that Warrod I guess that you were destined to be a wizard as well." Mavis said as she looked at Warrod. "Wow congrats Warrod that"s so cool." Zera said as she looked at Warrod. "There is one other thing that one must know before I finish the lesson. Magic Power is stronger if the feelings and emotions that the wizard that uses a spell for are better tuned for that specific spell." the man said before he turned around and walked away.

"Emotions huh..." Yuri said in thought. "Well let"s get some rest... that lesson took up quite a bit of time..." Precht said. "Agreed... goodnight everybody." Zera said with a yawn as she grabbed her fiancee"s hand and led him to the sleeping blanket where they quickly fell into a peaceful slumber. The next day they group had gathered and were in the process of meditation. Naruto was glowing a powerful white, Precht was glowing a evening yellow color, and Warrod was once more glowing green. "Like I said meditation is the most efficient way of absorbing Ethernano into your body. A calm mind is easier to work with than a agitated mind." he said.

A calming breeze blew causing them all to relax a bit more. Suddenly Zera was glowing a lovely shade of cold blue while their teacher smiled at her accomplishment. "Well it seems we have a fourth wizard amongst the ranks today." the man said. "So it actually works." Zera said calmly having yet to open her eye"s. "Well I won"t lose to you guy"s." Yuri exclaimed. Mavis nodded her head "Yeah same here." she said. They would all continue to meditate until late in the day. Once Naruto had finished his daily meditation he walked over to the new teacher who motioned for him to follow him to a different spot so he could teach Naruto how to control his dragon form.

When they had reached a seperate clearing the man had Naruto start explaining just exactly how he came across such a book, and Naruto told him that when he was little he, Mavis, and Zera all lived on Tenrou Island and that he had been admiring a book on magic for quite some time. He told his new teacher that on the night of the attack he was forced to flee with his sister and fiancee into the forest while every man woman and child perished. He then went on to explain that how the late Master Zeeself had been thinking about his birthday and had gotten it for him so he could better protect his sister and his new girlfriend as he was told to do.

"So a book on Lost Magic just happened to find a way to get to this Tenrou Island... it seems that fate has something planned just for you Naruto... What it is I can"t say as not even I can look into the future. However... if fate wanted for you to have these lost magics as well as your Crash then it must have something big planned for you in the future." the man told him. "Well I don"t really believe in fate. I believe in the things happen because they were supposed to. I guess you could call me a realistic type of person." Naruto told him. "Yes but you never openly denied that these things didn"t happen because fate willed them to happen either." he replied.

"I know... it"s why I like to think of myself as a realistic thinker." Naruto replied. "Very well... I"ll trust your judgement on this. Now I want you to transform into your dragon form and we"ll see just how well you can keep it up." he told the blond. "Alright I guess that"s an important lesson." Naruto said with a shrug of his shoulders as he closed his eye"s and began to focus his magic. He once again began to grow larger and larger until he was once more in his dragon form. "Alright kneel down we"re going for a flight." the man told Naruto as Naruto kneeled down. Climbing up onto his head he grabbed of one of his horns before nodding his head at Naruto.

Naruto spread his wings and took to the skies clumsily as he remembered he had four wings instead of two. "Go to the clouds and then fly straight." he ordered the dragon. Naruto snorted but angled himself up towards the clouds and began to soar higher and higher to the skies. "Bank to the left as hard as you can." the man told Naruto who tilted to the left, but he ended up rolling nearly throwing off the man. "I said bank not roll." the man said. "Sorry, but I can"t exactly control this body of my own whims." Naruto told the man. "That"s why we"re having practice up so high. So you can master this form before we work on something else for you to learn." the man told the dragon who snorted.

"Try again." he ordered. Naruto turned again, but a whole lot more gentle, and slowly banked to the left. "I said bank not do a grandmother"s twirl, now bank as in turn hard to the left." the man said. Naruto rolled his eye"s and did it again, but as a roll that threw the man off his head with a yell of surprise. "Whoops." Naruto said as he dived after the man and caught him in his claws before pulling up. "I guess we"ll need a bit of work. That extra pair of wings is a setback, but with a bit more practice you can get turning left hard down pact, try again, but just a tad slower." the man ordered the dragon who nodded his head in compliance.

Tilting to the left at a hard angle Naruto successfully managed to bank as he was told. "Alright again." the man said. Naruto banked again, and again for hours on end learning how to just turn left in his dragon form, until he was told to land on the ground. Flapping his wings Naruto landed with a loud *THUMP* before the man climbed down from his head once again. "Alright we have turning left down... Tomorrow we"ll work on right turns." the man told the now human Naruto. "Alright fine... but that"s kinda boring. How bout we make it a bit more challenging and have me fly at a high speed before doing it." Naruto suggested while the man thought about it for a second.

"I don"t see why not, but it"s going to be more of a challenge." the man told Naruto who shrugged his shoulders. "So I welcome a challenge... bring it on." Naruto said with a smirk. "Very well then... tomorrow I will have a harder course ready for you to work on. Until then goodnight." the man told Naruto. "Night." Naruto said with a wave as he walked over to the fire. Sitting down Naruto saw Yuri was still meditating trying to get Eternano to enter his body. "Hey big brother how was training?" Mavis asked him while Yuri tried to shush them showing he was still meditating "Quiet I"m trying to meditate." he told the two siblings as he peeked at them.

"Sorry Yuri we"ll be more quiet." Mavis said before looking at her brother. Naruto waved his hand quietly showing that his work was really cut out for him as it was a so-so type of progress he had achieved. If he were to be honest he was taken back by how much energy his dragon form had in it as he hadn"t gotten anywhere near tired that day. They were taken back when Yuri shouted annoyed "Ugh I can"t take it anymore." before he jumped to his feet and began to exercise confusing Naruto and Mavis. "Yuri... what the hell are you doing?" Naruto asked the shorter blond man confused. "What"s it look like I"m doing I"m moving around." Yuri retorted to Naruto.

"I can clearly see that but what want to know is why exactly are you moving around?" Naruto asked him. "I have too much energy. I"m always hyper so I"m only ever focused when I"m moving around." Yuri told Naruto. "And I care because..." Naruto said to the man. "I think that this is an exception for me on how I can get Magic Power and all that other stuff." Yuri said. Naruto raised a eyebrow "And you think that moving around will help you gain the power of magic?" he asked his friend. Yuri smirked at the man "Well of course. You and the others can sit on your butts but I sure as hell won"t take the lazy way out." Yuri told Naruto.

"Whatever floats your boat Yuri, but maybe you should try to do this in the morning." Naruto told the man. "Sorry to burst your bubble, but that"s not going to happen man." Yuri said before he started to glow a golden color as magic began to flow into his hyperactive body. "Whoa ho-ho-ho yeah that"s what I"m talking about." Yuri said as he felt the magic flow into his body. "Nice job Yuri." Mavis said. "Look at me I"m a wizard guys." Yuri said excitedly. Zera woke up with a loud yawn "And pray tell why you decided to wake me up from my sleep?" she asked the hyper blonde. "Look at me Zera I"m a wizard now." Yuri said to the tired brunette.

"I see you, but did you really have to shout out that you were a wizard?" she asked him. Yuri didn"t respond and literally flew over to where Precht and Warrod were sleeping laughing in a joyous manner "Hey guys check it out I"m actually absorbing it." Yuri exclaimed waking the two men from their sleep. Warrod opened one of his eyes lazily "Oh that"s great Yuri..." Warrod said to Yuri as he started to jump around some more. "Just shut up and go back to sleep." Precht said annoyed that he had been woken up by the hyper blond. "Do you see it? Look at it it"s so pretty right? Man I"m glowing like a firefly. I"m a wizard after all guy"s." Yuri said excitedly.

"Saw that one coming from a mile away." Naruto said with a laugh. Standing up Naruto walked over to Zera, all the while ignoring Yuri"s rants of being a wizard, and crawled in the sleeping bag with her. "Can I kill Yuri now?" Zera asked her fiance with a straight face, although you could see she was still tired. Naruto could only shake his head with a humored smile "No... well not yet anyways." Naruto said with a chuckle. "Mawww but Naruto-kun he"s so annoying..." Zera whined to her lover. Naruto chuckled at his future wives whining "I know, but he"ll eventually calm down. Just give it a few more minutes." Naruto told the brunette.

Turns out that Yuri didn"t calm down after a few minutes and it had grown really annoying for Naruto. With a low growl he climbed out of his bed and walked up behind Yuri before he threw a hard punch that knocked the blonde out, much to everyone"s silent relief. Yuri collapsed on the ground like a sack of potatoes and he began to snore lightly. Naruto just picked up Yuri"s sleeping bag and threw it over his prone form and crawled back in the sleeping bag with Zera who sighed in contentment at how well the situation was handled. "About time I was actually about to do the same thing myself if he went on a second longer." Precht said.

"Well someone had to do it." Warrod said groggily as he was quickly falling asleep. "I"ll see you guy"s in the morning... goodnight..." Mavis said with a yawn. "Night everybody..." Naruto said as he pulled Zera closer to him and she quickly snuggled into his chest before falling into the land of dreams. The next morning everybody woke up and went to different locations to train in magic. Naruto was once again in the skies training in his draconian form trying to get control over it. Precht was standing in a small clearing holding his hand up like a gun and was firing, well trying to fire, Magic Bullets at tree"s, but they had almost no effect on the tree"s.

Warrod was punching a rock over and over trying to improve his strength. Yuri was happily training under a waterfall but had summoned a stormcloud and was struck by lightning. Mavis was meditating trying to gather more Magic Power. Zera had found she could use Lava Make and Ice Make magic, but they were rather weak as they hardly did anything worth noticing. It seemed that they would have to spend a while trying to refine their magic, with the exception of Naruto... well mainly Naruto. Naruto had started practicing how to maneuver through the sky, but found out that his first pair of wings were actually capable of melding with his second.

This made flying for the dragon easier as he could make turns without messing up, but if he wanted speed than having four wings was best. Night after night, and day after day the six of them trained in their magic. When Naruto had felt he had mastered his dragon form he began to train his other magics as he didn"t want the ability to use them to grow lax. It was month three in their training and Naruto was standing in a clearing trying to come up with better ways to use his slayer magic. Focusing the magic into his fingertips Naruto made his hand look like a gun where the tips of his fingers crackled with black lightning granted by the God Slayer Magic.

It formed into a small orb brimming with power "Raijin no Kaden Ryūshi Hō (Lightning God"s Charged Particle Cannon)" Naruto called out before he fires a massive, concentrated beam of the aforementioned black lightning at a tree where not only that tree but several dozen other tree"s were vaporized by the super powered attack of God Slayer Magic. Naruto looks down at his steaming hand with a wince before his Sky God healing spell heals the stinging in his hand. Maybe he had put just a bit too much power in the attack, or maybe he had done something wrong. What he did know was that he needed to keep practicing his magic.

Raising his hand again he gathered his next God Slayer element this time calling upon the black flames of his Fire God Slayer Magic "Enjin no Moeru Ryūshi Hō (Fire God"s Burning Particle Cannon)" Naruto called out as a sea of flames were released from the tips of his fingers burning away more tree"s and creating another trench similar to his lightning attack had. And once again his hand was injured causing the blonde to wince in pain before his healing spell took over once more. "Dammit... I still haven"t managed to get far with this." Naruto grumbled out to himself. What was he doing wrong it made no sense as to why his improved magic didn"t work.

Ignoring as to why his improved spells didn"t work right Naruto chalked it up to the probability of them not being perfected yet. Raising his hand again he pointed two fingers at more tree"s and formed a sphere of black wind in his hands "Tenjin no k******e (Sky God"s Divine Wind)" Naruto called out as he released a gust of wind that forms several small tornadoes that expanded quickly tearing up more tree"s from the ground. Drawing his head back Naruto then called out "Enjin no Dogō (Fire God"s Bellow)" and he released a sea of flames into the whirlwinds that quickly ignited where they burned away a circular formation in the tree"s.

Naruto nodded satisfied that at least one went right, but that"s probably because he wasn"t shooting it straight out of his fingertips. Meanwhile Zera was training in her Lava/Ice-Make Magics "Lava Make: Kakazan (Floral Mountain)" Zera called out as an eruption of lava ruptured from the ground slowly unlike how she wanted it to come out as an explosion that resembled a flower. "Ugh this is such a pain. Why is having magic so much more complicated than just knowing how to do it?" Zera asked herself. "Probably because you haven"t put the full power of your emotions into how you want it done." a familiar voice behind her said which made her turn around.

She saw the man that head been teaching them for the past several months now with a curious look in her eye. "What do you mean by that?" Zera asked the man. The man scratched the back of his neck "Well the more in tune you are with your emotions the more the spell comes out like you want it. To be precise... you need to think of something that makes you happy... that is the best, and most powerful, way for you to use magic in a spell." he told her as she nodded her head showing that she understood what he meant. "Ok... something that makes me happy..." Zera said in deep thought. Well the most obvious would be her marrying Naruto-kun, but would it be enough?

She closed her eyes and smiled at the thought... marriage... that was was when she slowly opened her eye"s "Lava Make: Kakazan (Floral Mountain)" Zera called out again, but this time much to her surprise she manages to create a small volcano that explodes violently, sending molten rock flying up in all directions like a giant flower. The heat of the lava is enough to burn trees nearly half a mile away. "Ok I don"t know who did this, but somebody"s about to get their ass kicked." Yuri"s voice rang out loudly. "Sorry Yuri this is my fault. And if you touch me I"ll burn your ass so don"t piss me off you hear me." Zera shouted back to the blond who fell into water.

Yuri didn"t say anything unless he wanted for the brunette to actually go through with her promise as she had once done a month ago when she froze the entire waterfall he trained under causing him to yell at her about how cold the ice was. "I thought so." Zera said to herself, before she recalled all of the lava back to the earth. Yuri had learned he could use Lightning Magic, and he was rather well versed in the magic he possessed. Precht had learned he could use more than Bullet Magic where he had started to use Chain Magic. He thrust out his hand and another chain appeared before wrapping around a tree before Precht had the chain crush it under an immense amount of force.

Warrod had discovered, through the man that was teaching them, he could use Green Magic to increase the growth of trees and other plant"s through his own magic. "Jukai Kotan (Deep Forest Emergence)" Warrod called out as giant trees sprouted from the ground before a whole new forest was birthed out of his magic. Clapping his hands together Warrod called upon another technique he had created several weeks ago "Kakujai Korin (Deep Forest Bloom)" Warrod called out loudly. A large forest sprouted out of the earth, before hundreds of flowers grew, spitting their pollen into the air. Warrod didn"t use a lethal poison thankfully as the pollen was just sleeping pollen.

Dismissing the forest Warrod called out another "Mokuryū (Wood Dragon)" where an immense dragon the size of the one at Blue Skull rose from the confines of the earth. With roar the dragon began to tear through the trees he himself grew until none were left, before he dismissed the wooden creature. "Well that went well." Warrod said to himself satisfied that his magic was as varied as it was. Back with Naruto he had come up with an idea to improve on his magic, but didn"t know whether or not it would work. However... he knew that with patience and time things could work if he did things right or stumbled upon a clue on how they worked.

Lifting a hand Naruto spread his index and middle finger apart before he conjured up a small sphere of black lightning on his index finger and a sphere of black fire on his middle finger, both expelling an immense amount of energy. Slowly he brought both his fingers together fusing the two magics into a singular magic where the weight of the energy forced the ground to crater under him, but it didn"t deter Naruto as he continued to focus on fusing the two elements into a singular element. He was stunned by the amount of energy that was coming out of the small orb of fusing magic, but that didn"t stop him from perfecting one of his future techniques that would give rise to the future "Ishgar no Kami (God of Ishgar)" and result in creating a select group of the ten most elite wizards in all of the continent of Ishgar.

After he felt the successful fusion of the two godly elements Naruto pointed his fingers at a giant boulder before he called out his new signature technique "Raienjin no Kaden Moeru Ryūshi Hō (Lightning Fire God"s Blazing Charged Particle Cannon)" and released a powerful blast of lightning and fire that decimated the boulder and the trees behind it for nearly half a mile while throwing him back from the sheer power alone. Sitting up with a wince the giant blond rubbed the back of his head while his hand healed thanks to his Sky God Healing spell. Looking at the damage he gawked at the power that his new technique had, and the damage it had caused.

"Ok... that was a bit too much...Maybe I"ll make that one of my signature techniques or something..." Naruto said as he stood up and cracked his neck to remove a kink in it. Hearing the sound of running Naruto turned to see all of his friends and his future wife running to see what had caused the large explosion of magic. Yuri stopped in front of Naruto with a tired look in his eye"s "Naruto did you hear that large explosion?" he asked the blond. "Uhhh... yeah that was me..." Naruto admitted quietly as he pointed behind him to show the damage his new technique had caused to the forest that they had resided in for the last three months surprising them.

"WHAT THE HELL!" Yuri exclaimed at seeing the damage the blond did. "Naruto-kun what happened?" Zera asked him as she walked up to him. "I tried an idea of mine out... and it did this..." Naruto said as he pointed behind him to show what he did. Zera only raised an eyebrow at her man"s actions "Really... what did you do to cause this much damage?" she asked him. "I uh I may or may not have tried to combine two god slayer elements to make a better one." Naruto admitted sheepishly to the young woman who only shook her head at the blonde"s antics. If there was one thing she knew it was that Naruto always found a way to improve something already so powerful.

She sighed before looking at the evening sky and decided it was best they all get a bit of rest "Well why don"t we all call it a night. We"ve all been training really hard and we need all the rest we can get." Zera said. They all nodded in agreement as they had a lot of work to do. They had around another month of training before they took on the Blue Skull guild and took back the Tenrou orb and destroyed it. That night as they sat around the campfire they talked excitedly about what they had done and had managed to improve. Yuri flexed his muscles a bit to show that his constant exercising had indeed paid off as he had gained a bit of muscle.

Warrod was quietly munching on a grilled fish that he had cooked with a small smile on his face. Precht was quietly sitting with his back to a tree trying to relax. Naruto was sleeping as he had finally succumbed to the throes of exhaustion for the first time in several months. Zera was relaxing with a belly filled with fish and fruit satisfied. Mavis wasn"t anywhere to be seen, but a glow coming from the forest showed she was training once again. Zeref looked at the group from afar impassively. There was something about this group that was intriguing and he wanted to know why they interested him so much... he would find out eventually...

After all... he was an immortal so time didn"t mean anything to him like it did to these pitiful mortals. To be honest he was surprised when the lover, and the sister had come to him for an advanced spell that could help protect their friends and lover, and he had told them of one and it"s consequences if used wrongfully. The thing about the spell he told them about was that it was a dark spell and would curse them either way... so when they used it... they would be given the Curse of Contradiction and force them to walk the earth for all eternity... just like him... oh the looks on their faces would be priceless when they realized what had happened to them... he couldn"t wait to see them.

An hour later Mavis arrived to see all her friends, and her brother sleeping soundly in their bags. She saw that the fire had died down and rebuilt it so that they would stay warm for the rest of the night. Quickly grilling a fish she ate her meal before she decided to call it a night and went to bed. The next month went by rather quickly and they had managed to perfect all the techniques they had in their arsenals. Precht was able to use his Bullet magic to such an extent that he could now hit a target with his eyes... er eye closed. Warrod was able to use the power of the forest to it"s greatest extent and had made a rather diverse arsenal of techniques.

Zera could now use both her Ice-Make and Lava-Make to do a considerable amount of damage in a fight if she was ever in one which earned her praise from everyone in the group. Naruto even "rewarded" her for doing so well with a night of passionate love making she wouldn"t forget. Yuri was now a powerful Lightning wizard that could destroy boulders with a small flick of his wrist with considerable ease. Mavis was better at using her illusions as they didn"t dispel when the man that had taught them tried to as it took more power than it used to to get rid of them. Naruto was proud of his sister for making as much progress as she did and gave her praise.

Mavis happily accepted her brothers words and hugged him for telling her she was improving so much. Today was the day they went back to Magnolia and took down Blue Skull... they wouldn"t fail. They had packed up all their things and began to make their way to Magnolia. "So Mavis... what caused you to change?" Naruto asked his baby sister who now wore all black with her long hair in pigtails. "Oh... uh... I just wanted to try something new..." Mavis said unsure of how she should answer her big brother. Naruto wasn"t normally one to question what a person wore unless he was genuinely curious about what their style was like.

Naruto shrugged not really caring what she was wearing. He had a hunch that it had something to do with that dark wizard that had been teaching them magic. Naruto didn"t really trust the man, but he was grateful that he had been able to help them learn what they knew now. He was pretty sure that he would have never been able to turn back into a human if it weren"t for the man, but that was the only thing he would say he was grateful for the man doing for him. Other than that he didn"t like how the man smelled, looked, and walked as he was always so tensed up as if he were waiting for something to attack and take him out of the picture.

And although he had left them about a week ago that still didn"t ease the blonde"s worries about the man. He had seen the looks that he gave Mavis and had spotted the ones that she had given him, and he didn"t like them... they had done something that they shouldn"t have. Don"t get the wrong idea if Mavis wanted to sleep with someone she was allowed to, but he sure as hell hoped she didn"t. She was his baby sister and he loved her, which meant that he would allow her to make her own decisions. He just hoped that she wasn"t naive to something as stupid as sleep with the dark and broody man that had taught them as he would kill him, cursed or not.

Walking into the town they covered themselves with cloaks to remain inconspicuous while they walked around. Arriving at the one place they had hoped they enter. The bakery is still ark as ever, but they are glad that the two people that ran it were still alive. "Hey mommy they came back." the little girl called out. The woman that they had helped save came walking into the room. "Miko-chan not so loud ok." the mother said. "Sorry..." the little girl said sheepishly. She then looked at her guests with a confused look on her face "Sorry, but it"s just we weren"t expecting you." she told the six of them which was understandable as they had left months ago.

"I had thought that you left after our talk." she said. "We have to ask you for a favor." Naruto said to the woman. "Uh sure go ahead. I may not be much help but I can try." the woman said. "Listen we need you to get a group of people together. Even if it is just two or three that would be fine." Yuri said. "The most important thing is that they have to be loud." Mavis said in agreement. This confused her greatly "I... don"t understand..." she said wondering why they needed a group of loud people. "Look just gather a few of the townspeople we"ll explain everything later." Naruto told her. Seriously what was so hard about gathering a few people for a riot?

"We plan to make things better for you and everyone else in the city." Mavis said. "But we can"t do that without a bit of help." Precht said. "I appreciate the sentiment I really do, but it"s literally impossible to do." the mother replied to them. "Nothings impossible if you try. Yes what happened was a travesty, but we"re here to help now." Naruto told her. "I agree the people can"t go on like this for much longer. If this keeps up then the entire city of Magnolia is dead and then Blue Skull wins." Yuri said to the woman. "If they don"t rise up together now while they can then they are doomed." Warrod agreed with the blond as he nodded his head in agreement.

"We are more than willing to lead the way and fight at the front for them. But in order for that to happen we"re gonna need their help." Naruto said. "Please... help us take back this city." Mavis said quietly. Miko smiled brightly "I know someone that"s loud." she said happily. "Who is it Miko?" Yuri asked the little girl. "The blacksmith. He"s always angry and real loud. He sounds like the perfect guy to me." Miko said. "Lead the way." Naruto said to the little girl. Throwing their hoods over their heads Miko and her mother Mako led the way through the empty street"s to the place where the blacksmith lived, and they had to agree with Miko... he was perfect.

"WHAT DO YA WANT? CAN"T YOU SEE I"M BUSY HERE! OUT WITH IT! TELL ME!" the blacksmith roared loudly at them causing them all to cover their ears, especially Naruto as his hearing was sensitive, due to how loud he was being. Oh yeah... he was a loud person just like Miko had told them. Naruto stepped forward to talk to the man "Well you"re certainly a piece of work I"ll give you that. But that"s not why we"re here. We need your help." Naruto told the mad man. "WHAT ARE YA TALKIN ABOUT?" the man roared madly. Miko took the chance to walk around Naruto where she quickly ran up to the man with a large smile plastered on her face.

"Hey they just came to help save our city from the bad guys." she told him with a smile on her face. "WHAT!" the man screamed causing everyone to wince. The blacksmith looked at Naruto and his group "ARE YOU GUY"S CRAZY? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?" the man demanded. "I know how it sounds but hear us out." Naruto told the man. "Alright fine talk." the man growled out. "Little Miko told us that you"re always angry." Naruto said. "WELL SHE"S RIGHT ABOUT THAT. I"M ANGRY AT BLUE SKULL. I"M ANGRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS CITY. MOST OF ALL I"M ANGRY MYSELF FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT." the man yelled out.

"And I believe you. But would you be willing to do something to make a difference? To take back the city that is rightfully yours from those who don"t belong?" Naruto asked the man. "What do you mean "Would I"? You got some kinda wild idea in mind?" the man asked. "Don"t really know, but things could get wild." Naruto told the man with a smirk on his face. The blacksmith smirked at the thought of things getting wild "I don"t know what you"re getting at... but I"m in... let"s kick some ass." the blacksmith said in a normal tone of voice that was surprisingly smooth almost like it was made from gold which was weird because the guy was just yelling.

With that the group left the blacksmiths place and went to the park. The plan was for the blacksmith to use the anger of the people and have them storm to the Blue Skull"s place and then Naruto, and his group would take out the mages of Blue Skull and run them out of town. Arriving at the park the blacksmith began t yell "LISTEN UP! IT"S TIME TO STOP ACTING LIKE A BUNCH OF COWARDS AND TAKE BACK WHAT BELONGS TO US!" causing the people that were there to look at the man before they started to crowd around him so they could hear what the man had to say about what they needed to do and how to do it.

"THIS IS OUR CITY AND WE WERE DOING JUST FINE BEFORE THESE BLUE SKULL PUNKS CAME AND DECIDED TO RUIN OUR LIVES! I DON"T KNOW ABOUT YOU FOLKS, BUT I"M TIRED OF HAVING TO LISTEN TO A BUNCH OF PUNKS THAT WOULD RATHER HIDE BEHIND THEIR GUILD NAME THAN FIGHT US MAN TO MAN OR WOMAN TO WOMAN! IT"S NOT RIGHT THAT THEY GET TO LIVE LIVES OF LUXURY WHILE WE SCRAPE THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF TRASH CANS JUST SO WE CAN FIND OUR NEXT MEALS AND TRY TO SUPPORT FAMILIES AT THE SAME TIME! I SAY WHY DON"T WE ALL GO AND SHOW THEM JUST WHO EXACTLY THEY MESSED WITH! I"M DONE LIVING LIKE THIS! SO WHO"S WITH ME?" the blacksmith roared out as the people began to get more and more riled up by the man"s words as they all agreed with his words.

Naruto and the others watched and were surprised when the people actually began to rally behind the man and then walked towards the Blue Skull base. As the people walked more and more people joined in until the sheer number of people that were walking outnumbered that of the Blue Skull guild several times over. "With that angry mob taking care of Blue Skull it"ll keep them distracted long for us to strike. Things couldn"t have gone more better than if we had done this a month ago." Naruto said as he watched. "The only thing we have to worry about is the guild fighting back against the mob, but they"ll be outnumbered by a lot." Zera said.

The mob reached the doors to Blue Skull"s base and began to make their demands. Some were ordering them to leave, others begging for food, the rest were making threats to the wizards. "Let"s go... Mavis, Zera go to the place we set up and trap the Master of the guild there. Me, Yuri, Warrod, and Precht will take down the guild." Naruto ordered. With a nod from the two women they quickly left to go spring the trap on the Blue Skull guild master. "Come on let"s go." Naruto said as they slipped into the shadows of the crowd so they could make their way into the base of the guild that had pissed the city of Magnolia off to a major extent.

"Do you really think that Geoffrey will fall for one of Mavis" illusions?" Warrod asked him. "If he"s worried more about his treasure than the people then he"ll fall right into the trap where we can deal a swift defeat then yes." Naruto answered him. "Well as long as he has it in his head that his new kingdom is burning then he"ll do anything in his power to make sure it isn"t true. Which means that he"ll come as fast as he can to try and avoid making that happen." Yuri said nodding his head in understanding. "Well we need to work fast or else the people may strike the guild and get hurt, and that"s not something that I want to happen." Precht said to him.

When they managed to sneak in Naruto literally became a shadow and began to take down guard after guard by silently emerging from their own shadows and knocking them out before he pulled them inside his shadow and transported them away. Warrod, Yuri, and Precht were silently working behind him using a mix of martial arts and brawling to beat the mages they attacked. Warrod thrust his arm forwards growing thick branches of wood from his body that turned into complete replicas of him and they split up and took different routes down the halls to take out any of the wizards they came across effectively keeping the battle quiet.

When they had cleared one hall they moved on to the next one. Yuri kneed one of the Blue Skull wizards in the gut while Percht put one sleeper hold. Warrod choked his enemy with his tree magic and Naruto suffocated another until he passed out. "Come on guys we need to hurry." Naruto said to the others. "Right behind you." Warrod responded to the blond as they ran down another hall. rounding a corner they found a door that was shut and was most likely locked tight. "Alright Naruto you"re up." Warrod said as Naruto converted his arm into a iron beam and shot it at the doors knocking them down as well as the wizards behind them.

With that the real fight began as the wizards of Blue Skull charged them. The men smirked at their feeble attempts to hurt them not that they had magic "Looks like the party"s just begun." Warrod said with a smirk on his face. "I say we give them a taste of their own medicine." Yuri said as his body began to spark with golden electricity. "I couldn"t agree more." Precht said as he raised a hand shaped like a gun. Naruto said nothing as shadows enveloped his body as he called upon his dragon force. "Let"s show these punks just who exactly they"re messing with and kick some ass at the same time." Warrod said cracking his knuckles.

"Right!" they all chorused together. Naruto charged a group of the wizards and began to tear them apart. Warrod clapped his hands together and trapped another group of wizards in wooden binds they couldn"t break out of no matter how hard they tried. Yuri was striking his own group of wizards with whips made from lightning electrocuting them before they passed out from the sensory overload on their brains. Precht was shooting bullet after bullet of magic at wizards knocking them out as they weren"t meant to be deadly. A large wave of shadows blew a group of wizards trying to sneak up on Warrod away saving his life in the process.

When they had cleared the group out another larger group of wizards ran in surrounding them forcing them all to group together back to back. "Alright time for some tag teaming. Yuri, Precht I want you two to take the right half. Me and Warrod got the left." Naruto said getting nods from the three of them as they charged. Precht called upon a chain and began to use it like a whip while Yuri was sparking with an immense amount of electricity forcing the wizards to back off. Warrod was using chains made from his green magic and binding a lot of the wizards together while he drained them of their magic energy causing them to collapse on the ground.

Naruto was like a shadow in the night as he took down wizard"s left and right. Rearing his head back Naruto let loose a powerful roar at his opponents causing them to fly back before they crashed into a wall knocked unconscious. With that the guild known as Blue Skull was defeated... they won... all that was left was for the Tenrou orb to be destroyed and they would be done. Releasing his magic Naruto turned back to normal and breathed out a deep breath while the others walked over seemingly exhausted. "We did it guys... Blue Skull is no more." Yuri breathed out with a sigh. "It was worth it I"ll say that much is for certain." Warrod said nodding.

"Let"s find the orb and get rid of that thing before we have to fight something else." Naruto said walking up the stairs. The others followed behind silently as they saw a purple orb sitting on a red pillow atop the altar untouched. Naruto breathed out a sigh of relief at the orb being untouched and watched as Yuri walked up to it. "So this os what the Tenrou orb looks like?" he asked as Naruto nodded his head. Yuri picked it up and bounced it in his hand just as the girls came running in out of breath. "Naruto-kun where"s the orb?" Zera asked her lover. Naruto turned around and raised an eyebrow at her confused that she asked him such a question.

"What"s wrong Zera?" Naruto asked. "When we managed to trap Geoffrey he told us something. The orb can"t be touched by human hands. Where"s the orb?" she asked again as Naruto went wide eyed along with everybody else before they all looked at Yuri who had turned pale. "Uh... oh..." Yuri said as he looked down at the now glowing Tenrou orb that he grasped in his hands. "s**t everybody back off now." Naruto ordered as he ran down the steps as Yuri vanished in a burst of light. The dragon skeleton on top of the cathedral glowed with magic as the Tenrou orb took it over with it"s powerful curse causing the ground to shake very hard.

This caused the mob to run away just in time as the dragon came to life with a loud roar that shook the city. "Oh no... that sounds bad... really really bad." Mavis said. "What just happened?" Warrod asked them. "Yuri disappeared." Zera said shocked. "Yuri got taken over by the orb. We need to find a way to stop him or else the city is doomed." Naruto said. "Yeah but that doesn"t explain why that dragon came to life now does it?" Warrod asked. "That"s because it possessed a figure of evil so that it"s curse could wreck havoc. That"s why we need to work fast. Warrod me and you are up." Naruto said as he looked at Warrod who nodded his head at him.

"Alright what do we do?" he asked him. "We restrain him and the suppress the curse of the orb." Naruto told him. "I don"t know if my magic can do something like that." Warrod responded. "We don"t know unless we try Warrod. Have faith in your ability and you"ll go far." Naruto told him as Warrod nodded his head. Naruto turned to Precht. "Precht I want you to go keep an eye on Geoffrey and make sure he doesn"t escape his prison. We can"t afford to have him make a comeback that"ll bite us in the ass at a later date." Naruto said as Precht nodded before he ran out of the church to find the imprisoned man and keep an eye on him.

"The two of you stay out of the way and help everyone else escape alright." Naruto told Mavis and Zera. "But we can help you fight that thing Big Brother." Mavis protested. "And I said help the citizens evacuate from the city." Naruto said. "And I want to help." she retorted. "I don"t care you"re my sister and it"s my job to make sure that you stay safe you hear me." Naruto told her. "But I want to help you destroy the orb. As the guardians of the orb it"s our duty to make sure that the orb doesn"t take another host and in the event that it does we are to destroy it. Isn"t that what our people live by?" she asked her brother with pleading eyes.

"Yeah it"s our duty, but as the oldest it"s my job to make sure you stay alive. Now go before I make you." Naruto threatened her. Mavis huffed out a pout of resignation "FIne, but if I see the two of you struggling me and Zera are hauling ass to come help you out. Do you understand that." Mavis told her brother who nodded his head showing that he could work with that. "Alright enough chit chat go now while you still can." Naruto ordered her as she and Zera left to help the people. With a sigh he turned to Warrod "You ready Warrod?" he asked as Warrod nodded his head. "I was born ready." he responded cracking his knuckles.

Naruto smirked as he cracked his neck before the two walked down the church steps and looked at the rampaging Yuri. "Let"s get to work..." Naruto said as black electricity sparked around his body. "Right. We need to make this quick, but we also don"t want to cause too much damage to the city." Warrod agreed. "People can rebuild what get"s torn apart. Right now we need to focus on stopping that thing before somebody dies on us." Naruto said. "Alright I can"t fault you on that one. Kinda reminds me of this one time-Warrod began to say but Naruto looked at him causing him to shut up-"Right we need to stop Yuri." he said as he looked at the dragon skeleton.

It was time to make their mark on the world... but first they needed to stop that damned skeleton"s rampage and rid the world of the orb.
