Acnologia's Tale

Chapter 2-Fairy Tail

Two weeks had quickly passed since Naruto had killed that one guy... oh what was his name again Cod Sabrina... no that wasn"t right Sob Carina... something along those lines... and taken his Lacrima. He honestly was regretting to have killed so many of the dragons now. At least with several of them around they would provide him with some excitement. But then again the age of the dragons had it"s day four centuries ago and with the war and the creation of the dragon slayers things had quickly gotten out of hand.

He had went mad with power back then, and had struck down one of his comrades. When he had struck down his friend and mentor of lightning dragon weaknesses Paarthurnax the mighty Storm Dragon he had ended up bathing in his blood and transforming into a dragon. It would be the only time he had ever strike an ally but the pain of killing such a friend would stay with him forever. He had begged for forgiveness from the other dragons and was given a slap on the wrist when he had asked to pay for repentance with his life instead of being sent back out.

When he had asked why they had forgiven him so easily he was surprised when he was told that Paarthurnax would have wanted him to live. Since that day he has done exactly that, but for some reason life had suddenly gotten... boring. Which is exactly what led to current predicament. "So let me get this straight young man. You want to join Fairy Tail. And for what reason would that be?" the guild Master asked him which made him sigh. Old people and their questions had literally no limitations.

"I done told you when I came here old geezer. I want a excitement in my life as it has gotten boring to me." Naruto said to the man. "Well you have certainly come to the right place that I can assure you." the geezer said to him. Naruto sighed at the old man and his antics before he asked "Look just give me a guild mark and I can go on my way." he said the the shorty. "Alright geez you"re in kid just let me get the marker for you to receive your guild mark." the master grumbled out.

Naruto smirked as he brushed a silver lock of hair from his eye. It was about a three weeks after he had killed the so called God of Ishgar and stole his powers and distributed the six lacrima to the dragon slayers. Or rather the new second generation slayers for the ones that weren"t trained by the dragons. News of his death as well as a reward for finding the person with the eight lacrima was placed real quickly, and was still active even now, but they would never find them as they were separated from each other.

Since then Naruto wondered the continent aimlessly until he found a discarded magazine and read it. What he found was surprising. The guild called Fairy Tail was being very reckless which caused for him to read the entire article about this Fairy Tail guild. So when he had finished reading the small paper book he decided to go join this guild. It turns out the Master is an old geezer that likes to drink before he unconsciously smacks a teenage girl on her rump which he found to be very rude.

He was brought out of his thoughts when the old man walked back in carrying a stick in his hand. "Alright young man where do you want it and what color would you like it to be?" the man said to him. Naruto lifted his cloak a little bit to reveal his right shoulder. "I want it on my right arm in silver like my hair." Naruto told him. This of course made him raise his eyebrow, but he didn"t question it as he placed the mark on the boy.

"Well that"s all there is to it. Welcome to Fairy Tail my boy. By the way my name is Makarov." he introduced himself. "Thanks. I"m Naruto it"s nice to meet you Old man Makarov." Naruto said as he shook his hand. Walking out of the short man"s office he notices the pink haired boy who he gave the Purgatory Dragon Lacrima too and the boy that had been given the Frost Dragon Lacrima as well arguing with one another.

This wasn"t unusual as four centuries dragon"s of both flame and ice argued over little things as well. Then a redhead came and broke them apart. Normally this wouldn"t bring up nothing of concern to the dragon slayer, but her scent was what caught him off guard. "Irene Belserion had a daughter! Holy s**t I did not see that coming." the silverette thought to himself with a raised eyebrow.

"I know that she didn"t do anything to me but I just wish that she was that b***h so I could cut her down. I also just joined this guild and it would be a very bad thing for someone like me to kill her so quickly. I won"t harm her, but if she does turn then I will put her down just like I will do to her mother." he thought to himself as he walked down the stairs. Walking over to the bar he picks up a random person"s beer and begins to drink while ignoring the two dragon slayers.

Naruto keeps sipping on the beer until he feels someone tap his shoulder. Looking back he see"s that it is the frost dragon slayer that he created a couple of weeks ago. "What is it?" Naruto asked in a bored tone. "Why do you smell so weird?" the boy asked him. "Don"t know. Probably due to the fact I"m a dragon slayer." Naruto said to the boy. The pink haired boy suddenly recognizes him.

"Hey you"re the one who came here and gave me that Lacrima a few weeks ago." he said. "Way to state to the obvious." Naruto grumbled. Naruto finishes the beer off and sets the mug down. "What"s your element if you"re a dragon slayer?" the boy asked. "Well depends on which of the Lacrima I use. I have the ability to use Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Lightning, Iron, Shadow, Light, Sage and my own I will not tell you unless you force me to the point I have no choice but to use it." he said.

"Wow that"s amazing. My name is Natsu as you know. Hey quick question were you trained by a dragon if you can use nine elements?" Natsu asked him. "Yes I was trained by a dragon called Matatabi (1) my mother figure." he told the pink haired dragon slayer. "Did she leave you too?" Natsu asked him. Naruto only shrugged before he replied "Something like that." which in Natsu"s opinion wasn"t much of an answer. "I bet the reason you don"t want to use your main element is because it"ll remind you of your mom." Natsu said.

"No that"s where you"re wrong. My main element won"t just remind me of her it"ll be too much of a hassle to explain to you." Naruto said. He then looked at Gray before saying "And I bet you found you had some special abilities you didn"t know you had Ice Slayer." Naruto said causing the boy to go wide eyed before he yelled "How"d you know?" at Naruto who just laughed. "Well my nose is telling me that you just turned into a slayer recently which must mean that you"ve had a Lacrima of some sorts placed in your body, but the one thing I know is that you remove it from your body it will kill you so don"t try to do it ok we are comrades after all." Naruto said to the boy.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" the boy asked. Naruto released a sigh "It means if you remove the lacrima you die. It"s the simplest I could put it." Naruto said. "Oh... Well I was thinking of doing some training you guys wanna join?" the ice mage asked them. "Sure why not." Naruto agreed. "Yeah I"m all fired up now. And once I beat you two I"m going to kick your asses even more." Natsu said to the two getting a raised eyebrow from Gray and a bored look from Naruto.

"Well we don"t want to let our skills grow rusty now do we?" Gray said to his fellow dragon slayers. "No I guess we don"t." Naruto said with a nod. Walking out of the guild Naruto and the other two found a training field. "Let"s get started cause I have to prove I"m the strongest dragon slayer there is. And ain"t either of you going to stop that from happening." Natsu said. Naruto smirked along with Gray who covered his hand in ice while Naruot did nothing as he didn"t want to hurt the boy.

"Let"s rock this joint." Gray said. "Yes you guys can try to entertain me, but the result will still lose like the next time you challenge me." Naruto said to them but they didn"t dwell on the words. Natsu ignited his hands, and since Gray"s were already encased in ice he got in a ready stance. Naruto still did nothing. "Let"s go Hyoryū no Tekken(Ice Dragon"s Iron Fist)" Gray calls out. He then charged straight for Naruto.

Karyū no Go Ken (Fire Dragon"s Hard Fist)" Natsu called out and charged Gray. "Suiryū no Go Ken (Water Dragon"s Hard Fist)" Naruto calls out as he encased his hand in water and charged Natsu. The ironic thing was as they were charging and ran face first into the one they were not charging and fell onto their backs.

Seven years later (Yes I know time skip and all that such a thing is against the rules.)

"See you guys later I suppose." a now "seventeen" year old Naruto said as he waved goodbye to some of his friends in Fairy Tail. He wouldn"t admit it but it turns out that he had been right when he had decided to join this guild almost a decade ago. They provided him with enough entertainment that he didn"t grow bored for hours until he took a mission an busted stuff apart for fun.

Naruto had been teaching Gray and Natsu how to use their dragon slayer magic as well as brushed up on his old skills for the past seven years. Gray had over the years made Naruto use two elements at the same time in a spar, while Natsu hadn"t reached that milestone yet. Naruto was on a mission to investigate the rumors about some women going missing and decided to check them out.

He was on his way to Hargeon to do a little bit of reconnaissance to see if these rumors held true. And he was not taking the train again that cursed machine had caused him to almost lose the concentration over his transformation and puke his guts up. And that was the last time he would do so. Focusing on Hargeon he disappeared into thin air only to reappear at Hargeon Port.

"Alright time for me to get busy." Naruto muttered. Naruto begun to walk and listen to the crowds from afar with his heightened hearing, but he didn"t hear anything of importance. I was also that he came upon a magic shop that didn"t seem like much, but he smelled something of value inside. Now note that Naruto may have the ability to turn into a dragon, but he was no actual dragon.

Dragons loved anything that was shiny, held monetary value, gold, silver, gems of any kind. It was a embarrassing subject for the dragon in human form to talk about. Sure he had his own cave of treasure that he strarted to build from other troves of dragons he slaughtered, but what was the point of having all of it when all he did was lay on it to engrain the treasure into his belly or neck to prevent it from being a weak spot in case he was found by a dragon slayer.

Don"t get the wrong idea they all fell before him, but he wanted some action like an actual hunt from four centuries ago during the Dragon King Festival. Walking in he saw an old man behind the counter shining some of his fake jewelry that was overpriced. Sniffing the air he walked over to a case that held actual silver, gold, and jewels that were of value. Very expensive value as well. A few seconds later a busty blond came walking in through the door.

"Excuse me do you have any magical items such as a celestial key for sale?" she asked. "I may have a few in the back. Wait here and I"ll go look." he told her. Naruto looked at the jewelry and saw something that he had thought was lost long ago. His ancestor Merlin yes that is right the Merlin the person to have first used magic and then teach humans how to use it. The ring was designed into the shape of a beautiful and powerful dragon.

Crafted out of the purest of gold it"s intricate scales had a shine to them that would last for eternity, but that was due to a spell his ancestor placed on it. The spines that ran along the dragon"s back were pure silver and made a very beautiful coloration to the dragon. The eye"s were made from emeralds that were of high value to give it the look of a wind dragon, but it was more than that to him. To him this ring was the last thing his mother had given to him before she was killed by a dragon.

Yes Naruto Uzumaki resented the dracon species as a whole, but that didn"t mean that he was so angered at them to see past the reptilian form that was more... human than any human. They were the most powerful species to roam the earth for thousands of years before they were hunted to near extinction by the dragon slayers. It was at this time the shop keeper came out from the back with a small box in hand and sat it on the counter.

"Could you wait here a moment while I help my other customer out?" the old man asked the woman. "Sure I have no other place to be right now." she replied. The old man nodded and walked over to him. "Do you see anything that you would like youngster?" he asked him. "Yes. This dragon ring where did you get it?" Naruto asked him. "Oh that old thing? I didn"t even know it was for sale still. I know it"s been in my possession for quite some time I can tell you that." he said.

"As a matter of fact this was sold to me about thirty years ago now that I think about it." he said scratching the back of his head. "Who sold it to you?" NAruto asked. "A redhead. I don"t remember her name since it was so long ago, but she was rather good at making deals so she came in one day with this ring and sold it to me for a reasonable price. She said something about it"s rightful owner coming to claim it one day, but I didn"t think anything of it." he answered Naruto.

it clicked to him just who the redhead was. Irene otherwise known as the Queen of Dragon"s. Yeah they had dated for several years before they had broken up due to the war. "How much do you want for it. I"m willing to pay any amount of money for it." Naruto told the old man. He then pulled out a pouch filled with coin and threw it down on the counter spilling its contents. Said contents were gold, sliver and jewels.

"You do know that I only... and holy crap is that actual gold?" he asked as he looked down at the coins and gems. "Yes. I told you I was willing to pay any price. This is only a small amount of my real wealth." Naruto said to the man. Said old man immediately reached into the case and pulled out the ring and sat it on the counter. "Here you go. One dragon ring. Would you like anything else?" the old man asked.

Looking over the items in the case he saw a necklace, which resembles a sword with a stone in it. Pointing to the necklace the old man grabbed it and handed it to Naruto who placed it around his neck and then placed the dragon ring on his right hand"s palm. The dragon then began to move which startled the old man who jumped back in surprise as the dragon walked to his middle finger and wrapped itself around the finger tightly before it went still again. (2)

"Thank you for your business. I think I will continue to look around a bit and if I see something I"ll let you know." Naruto told the old man who could only nod. As he walked around the store he couldn"t help but overhear the conversation between the old man and the woman. "Seriously twenty thousand jewels for a silver key?" she said. "Yes that is a reasonable price is it not." the old man said. "How about a new deal. Surely you can lower the price for me." she told the old man in a sultry voice. "Hmm well how about I lower the price to nineteen thousand jewels how about that?" the old man asked.

Naruto released a sigh. The old man was willing to give him a highly sentimental item back to him along with a necklace that he was only holding on until he got back to the guild. Walking over to them he placed a diamond on the counter. "Give her the key. That gem should set you up for a while." NAruto said and with that he walked out the door before they could say anything. A few seconds after that the woman came running out hollering "WAIT!" at him.

Stopping to turn around he saw the woman stop a few feet from him. "Thank you for doing that. I"m sure the old geezer would have kept it at that ridiculous price if it wasn"t for you." she said. "Don"t mention it." and with that he walked on leaving hr there. It was at this time a breeze blew on his cloak to reveal his Fairy Tail guild mark that he received when joined the guild. "You"re from Fairy Tail?" she asked him causing him to stop.

"Yes. What of it?" he asked. "I am a huge fan of that guild and it"s my dream to join them." she said. "Well stay with me and you"ll find it." he told her. A few hours of searching and still no sign of hearing the right rumors soon made Naruto irritable. But then something in the distance caught his eye"s. It was a ship leaving the bay with women on the deck all passed out with men gathering them and taking them below deck. "Lucy stay here. I"ll be right back." he said.

Igniting his feet surprising the blond he shot into the air towards the boat. Landing on top of the roof where he saw the men lugging the women he crashed through surprising them. "Who the hell are you?" a man demanded. This man wore the most ridiculous out fit but it didn"t matter to him. "I am Naruto Uzumaki and I demand you turn your ship around and go back to port before I make you." Naruto said to him.

"I think not. Now either get off my ship or- He didn"t get to finish as Naruto appeared behind him with a raised fist. "Lights out." Naruto said before knocking the man to the land of dreams. Looking at the others he glared causing most of them if not all of them to flinch. "Now I am only going to be nice one more time. Turn this boat around or I will do it for you." Naruto told them.

Nodding their heads one of the men ran to the steering wheel a few feet away and began to turn the boat around. Naruto then looked at the rest of the group before saying "When we get to port you are to go straight to the jail and turn yourselves in no questions asked." Naruto told them causing them to nod their heads in fear. When they reached the port Naruto watched as they left the women on the ship and left for the jail carrying the unconscious man with them. when they where out of the range he could see them, bu were still making their way to the jail he nodded and walked up to Lucy.

"Well you want to get out of here and join my guild or are you just going to gawk at me all evening?" he asked her. She then squealed in what seemed to be joy before yelling "OH MY GOD YOU"RE THE SALAMANDER!" while he shook his head no. "No I may use Fire Magic, but I"m most certainly Not Natsu. Now come on I"m bored and need some entertainment from my friends. Let"s go so I can make it back in time to watch them beat each other up." Naruto said earning a confused look.

"What?" she asked him. "It"s nothing now come on." he told her and continued to walk. They made it to the guild the next day around noon as the guild started it"s daily brawl. Naruto laughed at Lucy"s face when she saw the guild fighting. "What you were expecting high class men and women who only put up a facade?" he asked her as he walked into the guild to the bar. "Hey Naruto welcome back." Mira said. "Get me a bowl of ramen please." he told the Stauss woman.

"NARUTO FIGHT ME!" two voices called out causing him to turn around and lifted his hand and grabbed a flame encased fist and a ice encased fist before they could hit him. "Natsu... Gray been a couple of days since the last ass whooping hasn"t it?" he asked them. Mira tat this time came out of the kitchen with his favorite meal and sat it on the counter. "Here you go one bowl of ramen." she said.

"Thanks Mira." Naruto said as he nodded to her. "Oh I forgot something. Gray I got you a present for your birthday I missed a couple of weeks ago." Naruto said as he pulled his new necklace off and handed it to the ice slayer. "Thanks." Gray said as he put it on. "You already know I have nothing for you Happy so don"t even ask me if I brought back any fish." Naruto told the blue cat who then pouted at not getting a treat.

"Naruto who are these- Lucy began to asked before a giant foot slammed down. "What and the hell do you brats think you"re doing?" a giant asked. "OH MY GOD HE"S HUGE!" Lucy yelled. "Hey Master." Mira said. Everywhere around the guildhall the fighting stopped in it"s tracks. The apparent Master just turns towards her with a small growl. Lucy just looks at her like she"s insane. "Wait did you just say master?" she asked in shock. Natsu just laughs for some strange reason... until Naruto punches him in the back of the head. "Will you stop that, and be more respectful Natsu." Naruto yells at his friend in annoyance. Gray sees this and laughs.

The Master just look"s over at Naruto and nods his head before he looks at Lucy. "Thank"s for shutting him up. I also see that you"ve brought a new recruit to the guild. Care to introduce yourself?" the master asks her. "Uh-uh I"m Lucy nice to meet you sir." Lucy stuttered out. The Master just nods his head before he starts to shirk getting smaller and smaller until he is all but two feet tall, which is surprising since he was just as big as a giant might be.

"Well it"s nice to meetcha Lucy." the now small master said to the shocked blonde. "What? He"s so small now! Is he really your guild master?" Lucy asks in shock. Naruto just looks at her like she is stupid before Natsu starts speaking. "Well duh. Allow me to introduce to you Master Makarov the Fairy Tail"s Third Guild Master." Natsu says as Makarov jumps into the air doing a couple of back flips before he hits his head on the ceiling, much to Naruto"s silent amusement, and lands on a balcony overlooking the guild. Clearing his throat to get their attention he speaks.

"Alright brat"s listen up." Makarov say"s as they look at him. Makarov starts to yell loudly all of sudden once again much to their silent amusement. "YOU"VE ALL GONE AND DONE IT AGAIN YOU BUNCH OF CLOWNS. JUST LOOK AT ALL THIS PAPERWORK THAT THE COUNCIL SENT ME ON DAMAGE REPORT"S ALONE!" Makarov yells as he hold up a stack of papers in the air. Makarov then started to yell louder at them.

"HAVE YOU ALL LOST YOUR MINDS OR ARE Y"ALL JUST A BUNCH OF NUTS TO BEGIN WITH? ALL YOU KIDS ARE GOOD FOR IS ANGERING THE COUNCIL AND HAVING THEM TELL ME ABOUT IT." Makarov yells at them. "Let me read out a few from the list of complaints I was sent this morning alone. Gray, some civilians are complaining that you walk around naked without a care in the world." Makarov read out. "I didn"t know I was naked, so sue me you old geezer." Gray responded.

"Elfman, you assaulted a client earlier when you were paid to protect him." Makarov read out. "He said that education was not "MANLY". So I showed him how manly I could be." a big man with white hair shouted out. "Cana, you drank all of the council"s storage wine... and then billed them for it" Makarov continued while some of the mages chuckled. Hey who wouldn"t a woman drank someone else"s booze and had them pay for it... and they were the ones who bought it. "Damn, I thought they wouldn"t notice that." a brunette responded as she took a swig of her drink out of her mug.

"And finally my most destructive dou. YOU WENT AND WRECKED A DAMNED RESTAURANT THAT HIRED YOU TO PROTECT THEM." Makarov yelled with a now red face. "Ey don"t look at me it was Gray that started it." Natsu said in defense. "Eh it doesn"t matter anyways." Makarov said to them. "If we don"t do our best we shall never progress. So screw the council cause we are Fairy Tail which means we are number one." Makarov cheered out and then held up the signal of number one to show Fairy Tail was the best in all of Fiore. The entire guild soon held their hands up with a finger to the sky to show they were number one while shouting in agreement.

He set"s the papers on fire and then throws the paper out over them where Natsu jumps up and starts to eat them. Makarov clear"s his throat once more. "Now that I am done... clean up this mess and get back to making some money for the guild." Makarov said before he jumped down from his perch and walked into his office. When he had left the mages had done as they were told.

Mirajane walked over to Lucy with a stick in her hand. "Hey it"s time for you to receive your guild mark." she said to the blond. Lucy turns to her with a smile. "Oh really that was fast. I honestly thought that there was something I had to do before I became a member." Lucy said. Mirajane only shook her head no. "Nope we usually just slap the stamp and say welcome to the guild. Now where do you want me to place it and what color would you like for it to be in?" she asks her. Lucy just hold"s out her right hand. " I want it on my right hand in pink." Lucy told her as Mirajane placed the stamp on her hand.

The magic stamp glows for a second before Mirajane removes it to show a pink Fairy Tail Guild Mark on the back of her hand. "There now you"re a member of the guild." Mirajane says. Lucy smiles at her. "Thank you so much Mirajane this is a dream come true for me." Lucy says. "Oh you don"t have to be so formal. Just call me Mira if you want to." Mirajane tells Lucy. "Oh well thanks anyways... Mira." Lucy says as she runs off.

She soon finds Naruto who is sitting down at a table enjoying a big bowl of ramen next to Natsu who is enjoying a steak. "Oi Naruto oh Naruto look. Mira just made me an official member of the guild." Lucy said excitedly. Naruto looks up from his noodles at her. "Oh that"s nice to hear. Welcome to the guild Luce." Naruto said. "Yeah that"s real nice... Uh what"s your name again?" Natsu asked her.

Lucy just looks at him before yelling "THE NAMES LUCY." Naruto finishes his meal before he get"s up and walks over to the mission board to look for a job. Naruto then hears little Romeo"s voice in his ears. "Hey Master how come my dad hasn"t come back yet?" the young boy asked Makarov. Makarov who was drinking a beer stopped his drinking before he looked down at the boy.

"You"re startin to get on my everlasting nerves Romeo." Makarov tell"s him. "You"re a wizard"s son which means you have to have faith in your father. Wait just a little while longer I"m sure he"ll be back soon. Ok." Makarov tells the boy. Romeo just looks at the old man in shock. "B-but sir he told me he would only be gone for three days... but he"s been gone for the whole week." Romeo told him.

*Sigh* "If I remember he took the job to get rid of some Vulcans over in the mountains yes?" Makarov asks the boy who nods his head yes. Makarov sighs once more before he looks over at Naruto. "Naruto come here." he orders. "Yes Master?" he asked. "I want you to pick a partner and go to Mt. Hakobe and bring back Macao for Romeo, and that"s not a request since I"ll personally pay you one hundred thousand jewels for getting the job done." Makarov say"s to the blonde.

Romeo was ecstatic. He runs up and starts to hug the Master with tears running down his eye"s. "Thank you Master Makarov. Thank you so much." he sobs into the old man"s shirt. Makarov looks at Naruto and motions for him to leave. Naruto just nods to Makarov before he walks over to Lucy. "Want to earn some quick cash courtesy of the old man?" Naruto asked her. "How much?" Lucy asked him.

"One hundred thousand jewels." Naruto answers when suddenly Natsu appears out of nowhere. "Hell yeah I"m in." the pinkette says while his blue companion nods before saying "Aye sir." in agreement. "Ok make that the three of us." Naruto sighed out. "What about me?" Happy asked the silverette. "What about you. Last I checked you"re a cat not a human." Naruto replied coolly to the cat. "That"s mean Naruto." Happy cried.

"Well let"s just go and get Macao and get paid. I"m bored and the entertainment is at a all time low." Naruto said releasing a sigh. "You"re always bored." Happy yelled at him. Naruto looked at the cat with a raised eyebrow daring him to keep talking which ended as the cat shut up.

"We"re here," the driver called out. "Thanks," Naruto responded as the four of them exited out of the carriage. Lucy was immediately bombarded the chilliest wind she has ever felt. "W-W-Wh-h-hy is-is-is it-it so-so c-c-cold?" Lucy shivered out. Naruto, Natsu, and Happy just looked at her. "This is cold for you?" Natsu asked. "Yes!" Lucy shouted " How are you guys not freezing?" she asked them. "My magic keeps me warm," Natsu answered. "I"m a cat," Happy replied. "This is not cold... at least not to me. I have been to colder places." Naruto stated. Lucy just looked at the three of them before pulling out a key. "What is that?" Natsu asked. "Gate of the Clock, I open thee," Lucy shouted," Horogium." Suddenly, Lucy was inside what seemed to be a large grandfather clock.

"What the hell is that!" Natsu shouted. "This is my ultimate protection." the clock seemed to say while Lucy"s mouth was just moving. "Come on, I want to find Macao before dinnertime." Naruto said. "I"m all fired up," Natsu exclaimed. "Aye, sir," Happy joined in. The group started to trek through the snowy mountain. The group was near the top of the mountain when Natsu lost his patience.

"OI, MACAO," Natsu shouted," WHERE ARE YOU?" Naruto immediately slapped his head. "Hey, what was that for?" Natsu asked him. "You i***t," Naruto scolded," Do you really want to start an avalanche?" he asked Natsu. "What"s the big deal?" Natsu responded. "The big deal is that she-" Naruto said, pointing to a sleeping Lucy "-will die because of it. Remember she is a newbie when it comes to utilising her magic in a guild." Naruto said. "Oh." he said. "Yeah oh no let"s go." he said.

Behind the duo, Happy smacked his forehead at Natsu"s stupidity. Happy then noticed something out of the corner of his eyes. "Hey, guys," Happy called out. Naruto and Natsu turned their heads to Happy. "What?" they responded. "Look!" Happy replied, pointing his finger at a figure charging towards the group. "Is that a vulcan?" Natsu asked. "Yep." Naruto answered. "Alright." Natsu grinned as he ignited his fist "I"m all fired up now." he said. "Good." Naruto replied before grabbing Natsu"s collar. "Hey," Natsu responded before finding himself being hurled towards the incoming vulcan.

"Take him out," Naruto called out. "You got it." Natsu shouted back as he prepped his fist for a punch. The vulcan just looked up before Natsu"s fist smashed right into it. The force smashed the vulcan"s head right into the ground, knocking it unconscious. "Nice job." Naruto commented as he appeared right next to Natsu. "Thanks," Natsu replied," Where"s Luigi and Happy?" he asked. "They"re still on the trail." Naruto answered "We"ll go back to them as soon as the vulcan transforms." he said much to the pinkettes confusion.

"Huh?" Natsu responded before noticing the vulcan had started changing. Soon, the vulcan changed into a middle-aged man with black hair. He had bruises all over his body, but he was relatively unharmed. "Hey Macao," Naruto greeted as Natsu went to lift up the man. "Hey man," Macao weakly greeted before going unconscious. "Seems like our mission has been accomplished." Naruto stated. "That seemed a bit too easy," Natsu replied. Then, Naruto and Natsu heard a rumbling behind them. They turned around to see a massive avalanche heading straight for them. Naruto and Natsu only had one thing on their minds.

"RUN!" they shouted before sprinting off. Happy and Horogium were waiting for the two on the trail when they heard a rumbling noise. This woke up Lucy instantly. "What the?" Lucy responded before turning her head to see Natsu and Naruto sprinting towards them with a humongous avalanche behind them.

"RUN," they shouted. It was just that moment that the time limit on Horogium ended. Lucy found herself on the cold ground with avalanche about to bury her. "What are you doing, Luce?" Happy shouted as his wings appeared on his back," RUN." he shouted at her. "You don"t have to tell me twice." Lucy replied as she started to sprint as fast as she could. And thus, Lucy got a taste of what adventure in Fairy Tail felt like. Don"t worry they made it all back safe and sound. Romeo got his father back thus satisfying Naruto, Natsu, and Happy. Lucy also made a good money from the master so that was good for her.
