Acnologia's Tale

Chapter 4-Eisenwald and a dragon

Naruto and Lucy walked back into the guild and went their separate ways. Naruto of course went to the bar and sat down waiting for the buxom waitress whose name he always forgot. When Mira cam out her face lit up in joy "Naruto-kun you"re back already?" she asked the silverette. "Of course I am why wouldn"t I be?" Naruto asked her. "Well it"s just I thought you"d be gone longer is all." she told him with a blush on her face. Naruto shrugged his shoulders not really caring about why she worried about him so much before he looked into her eyes "Hey think you can get me something to eat?" he asked her in a bored tone of voice.

Mira nodded her head quickly nodded head to him and was gone in a blur to please the man of her hidden affections. He smelt the air to see who was where, as his sense of smell was a million times better than any other, and smelt the she-devil spawn walking towards the guild and had to forcibly suppress a shiver as the mini redheaded devil child came closer and closer with each passing second. Lucy chose this time to sit next to the dragon slayer who raised a eyebrow at her as if he were asking what she wanted from him.

"Hey Naruto quick question for ya." she told the silverette who shrugged his shoulders at her "Ask..." he said to the buxom blond. "Why did you choose to go with me on that mission?" she asked him. Naruto shrugged again "Well I guess I just wanted you to get used to using your magic... don"t really know..." he answered as he watched the white haired woman, whose name still escaped his memory, come out of the kitchen with his meal. "Here you go Naruto-kun. I do hope you enjoy it, I made it just for you..." Mira said as Naruto raised his eyebrow... didn"t he just ask her to cook this bowl of heavenly noodles for him to eat... women were weird sometimes.

"Uh... thanks..." Naruto said. Mira smiled brightly "You"re welcome Naruto-kun." Mira said to the silver haired dragon slayer. Naruto slowly savored the taste of his noodle dish before downing the broth of the heavenly broth. If he had to admit it reminded him of the times when he was young... the time when the dragon"s soared through the skies, and there was some minor form of peace between the humans and dragons... where did all the good times go... or did they just fade away into dust.

With a sigh Naruto sat the empty bowl down on the table just as the weird playboy walked up to Lucy with a smirk on his face, the one that happened to make every girl faint in his arms, and leaned on the bar. "Why hello there," the man greeted, kissing Lucy"s hand," I don"t believe we have met yet." he said as Lucy blushed at the man"s action. "What would you name be?" the man asked. "Lucy..." Lucy answered the weird playboy. "I am Loke," the man introduced himself. Lucy instantly recognised the name and snatched her hand away. "As in Loke the playboy?" Lucy asked him. The man known as Loke scratched the top of his head in embarrassment.

"It"s more like women are attracted to me..." Loke replied. Lucy just glared at the man. "Oi... Loke," Naruto called out to the man. "Hold on Naruto I"m having a conversation." Loke said to the dragon slayer whose eyebrow twitched in annoyance while Lucy growled. Seemed he had to do things the hard way... just how he liked to do things "She"s a Celestial Wizard... dumbass..." Naruto stated. Loke quickly whipped his head around and noticed the keys against Lucy"s hip.

"I"m sorry, my love," Loke said as he dashed out of the guild doors," But our love cannot work." Lucy just looked at the retreating figure of Loke in confusion before looking over at Naruto "Ok... what was that all about?" Lucy asked the man. "Loke had a bad relationship with a celestial wizard so don"t blame him for doing that." Naruto told her as she nodded her head. "Wow I didn"t know that." Lucy said as Naruto nodded his head at her.

A second later Naruto"s danger sense went off just as the playboy ran back in scared as the look on his face was like one of fear. "She"s here! Erza"s back!" Loke said fearfully as the guild was in a split second all nice and neat. Natsu wrapped a arm around Gray while they bumped the other hand with the other in a fist bump. Naruto turned pale as Erza walked into the guild carrying a large horn that belonged to a Wyvern. She sat the horn on the ground with a loud *Thump* causing the floor to shake a little.

"I have returned." the redhead said."Who is she?" Lucy asked. "She is Erza Scarlet, queen of the Fairies." Mirajane answered. "More like a miniature redheaded she-devil from the deepest pits of hell." Naruto thought to himself as Erza narrowed a eye while looking at him causing the dragon slayer to shiver a little. "It seems the guild is tidy for once," Erza commented as she walked to the bar counter. "Mira can you be a dear and get me a slice of strawberry cheesecake." Erza told her once rival who nodded and went to get the redhead her cake.

"LISTEN UP," Erza called out," I KNOW WHAT YOU"VE BEEN DOING."she yelled as everyone stood frozen as they heard those words. "EVEN THOUGH, THE MASTER AND GRANDFATHER DOESN"T SEEM TO CARE," Erza shouted, turning around," I DO." Ezra breathed in deeply before starting her daily, when she was there, rant. "Nab, pick a mission," Erza told the man who hung his head. "Wakaba, stop smoking," the redhead scolded the smoker.

"Cana, stop drinking," Erza continued before she turned around. "Elfman, stop saying MAN all the time," she yelled at the white haired Stauss. "But-" a big man known as Elfman tried to respond. "No, no buts from you." Erza responded. Then, Erza turned her head to a terrified Macao before turning their heads away from him. "Please say something," Macao begged," Your silence hurts more than your words." Era ignored him as she looked at the terrified Natsu and Gray.

"Are you two behaving?" Erza asked the duo. "Yes ma"am," both boys replied as they jumped up and down. "Good..." Erza replied before looking at Naruto. "What do you want little devil?" Naruto asked as she narrowed her eyes at him. "What was that you lazy bum?" Erza roared as she suddenly appeared in his face causing the dragon to suddenly fly into the air before he latched onto the ceiling using iron fingernails to stick to the ceiling like a scared cat with his hair sticking out straight as if he were in fact a scared cat from the loony toons, whose name also escaped him, that always chased the tiny bird, whose name also slipped from his mind.

Erza smirked in satisfaction at still being able to scare the man that she thought of as a "Dragon Slayer" and friend "Still got it." she said as Mira walked out of the kitchen with her cake which she happily began to eat. Naruto calmly landed on the ground behind the redhead, and slapped her on the back of her head causing her to faceplant into the large slice of cake. All the members of Fairy Tail turned pale to the point they almost became clear. Lucy was confused at why they were acting like this, sure Erza was scary, but this was a bit ridiculous.

Erza lifted her head off her plate showing her face covered in cheesecake. She grabbed a napkin and wiped her face as she looked at Naruto "You... me... training ground six... now..." she said emotionlessly to Naruto who smirked at the redheaded devil. Naruto gave a small wave before he vanished into the air before he appeared at the training ground. To be honest he didn"t want to fight the redhead as she had looked like she wanted to say something important, but he couldn"t help but make her mad. She was just like that thrice damned mother of hers when it came to the word "devil" it couldn"t be helped.

Erza and the rest of the guild came rather quickly, more so in Erza"s case as she wanted to kick his ass. "Alright Naruto it"s time I teach you a lesson in mannerisms when it comes to my beloved cheesecake." Erza said as she drew a sword while Naruto held out a hand and in a surprising maneuver a sword that was very intricate and beautiful in the redheads opinion. The blade in question was a black blade that seemed to actually absorb all the light that touched it. It was different from the traditional longsword or katana she wielded as well as the rather difficult broadsword.

It had a pommel meant to be held by either one or two hands, and a skull at the base of the pommel. The pommel guard had what appeared to be just a regular guard, but was made from black steel(1). "You sure you want to test me in a swordfight Naruto?" Erza asked the silver haired man. "Trust me, I don"t need fancy magic to win against you little devil. And I can handle swords better than you think." Naruto said as he tried to rile the redhead up. "Don"t call me that." she yelled as she charged at Naruto who was smirking at her.

Her body glowed before she reappeared in her Heaven"s Wheel Armor with a different sword. She swung her sword at the man who easily brought up his own sword and blocked the sword with a clash of sparks... right before his black sword cut through her own sword with ease much to the redheads shock. "How... how did that sword cut through my own with such ease?" Erza questioned as she requipped into her Lightning Empress Armor and blitzed behind Naruto and swung her new sword at him while he just ducked under the swing and kicked Erza causing her armor to crack right before it shattered into small bits.

"She"s getting thrashed!" Lucy exclaimed in shock that the Titania Erza Scarlet was getting beaten with such ease. Lucy wasn"t the only one shocked at seeing Erza getting beaten around by the silver haired man as Erza requipped into her Purgatory Armor. She charged at him again and swung her sword with a yell, only for Naruto to block it with his own. Noticing that her sword was still intact she swung it again while Naruto blocked it with ease once more.

Naruto then channeled his magic into the sword causing it to glow red from heat while Erza swung the sword in her hand again, but once again to her shock the heated blade sliced the blade in two. Naruto spun around and kicked her hard enough to send her flying while her armor was utterly destroyed by the dragon slayer. "Careful Titania wouldn"t want to run out of your precious armors now would we?" Naruto questioned as he watched Erza requip into her Piercing Armor, one of her best, and charge him once more.

Erza swung her katana at him, but once again he channeled his magic through his black sword this time it begins to spark with black electricity "Show me what you got." Naruto said as he swung for the first time while Erza tried, keyword tried, to block his own but somehow the sword that the man held sliced through the sword causing the redhead to yell in annoyance. How... how was he able to utterly destroy each of the armors with such ease... it should have at least made him budge, but he hadn"t even taken a single step since the start... so this was the power of a Wizard Saint... it was amazing...

"This is ridiculous how are you able to beat me at swordsmanship, and you"re not even a swordsman." Erza said heatedly. "It"s because I don"t try and be flashy, I just do what needs to be done. No fancy armor... no fancy swords... just the basic sword... and skin. To be honest I could care less what you think of me telling you this, because I know you"d ignore me. So with that in mind I call this little fiasco finished." Naruto said as he vanished before Erza and everyone else"s eyes right before the redhead felt the dragon slayer"s blade against her neck. "It"s over..." Naruto said to the beaten redhead.

"Alright fine you win..." Erza said. "H-he beat Erza... wow..." Lucy said. "Huh lasted longer than the last time she challenged him." Mira said in thought. "Wait this is normal?" Lucy asked the model who nodded her head at the blond. "Uh huh Naruto doesn"t really like Erza, or anyone for that matter except maybe Natsu but that"s probably Natsu amuses him to no end, but he only acts rude to her because he likes to teach her a lesson in how to control her temper." she told Lucy. "Seriously? I know Erza is scary, but this is a little ridiculous." Lucy said as Mira laughed.

"Well normally yes but Erza has major anger problems and Naruto is the only person that can take her on with such ease and calm her down with a swift defeat. Normally he just punches her hard enough to break a couple of her ribs, but sometimes he humiliates her with her own type of magic, which is swords magic." Mira said. "Wait he breaks her bones?" Lucy asked shocked. "Oh trust me he does more than break bones. He humiliates you in the weirdest ways." Mira responded.

"Huh... guess you learn something new everyday." Lucy said. Naruto held out the pommel of his sword to the redhead "Here... you earned it for standing that long against me. Just channel your magic and think of one of the five basic elements Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, or Lightning into it and it"ll take on properties of that element." Naruto told the confused redhead. "What do you mean?" she asked the man.

"For Earth Magic it"ll harden the blade nearly tenfold. For Wind Magic it"ll sharpen tenfold. For Fire Magic it"ll heat up until it glows. Water Magic will allow for you to fight a fire swordsman on better footing by cooling down their blade while tempering your own. Lightning Magic will increase the piercing power of the blade. If you think of a different element such as poison it"ll be covered in a coat of poison of your choice. If you want it to be covered in ice it"ll take on a coat of ice." Naruto told her with a smirk. By giving her such a gift from a lost culture maybe she will prove to be a better form of entertainment later on down the line.

Naruto was sure the lost barbarian people will take kindly to her having such a gift... right up the ass, they"d never allow it. "So what did you wanna tell me back at the guild before we had our bout?" Naruto asked her. "Lullaby"s been stolen." she said bluntly. "Alright I"ll find it and take it back. See you guys later." Naruto said walking away. "Naruto we need a team if we"re going to be taking such a dark item from a dark guild." Erza said.

"I know, and I don"t care. Besides have you forgotten that I"m a Wizard Saint I can literally take on an entire army and wipe them out if I wanted to." Naruto told her. He wasn"t lying when he told her he could take on an entire army and win as he did it once around a-hundred years ago when Alvarez invaded Ishgar. Of course Ishgar threatened with something called Etherion, and those damnable Faces that would drain the world of it"s magic.

In the end Ishgar still got invaded and started a war causing him to have to step out into the light. Those little pests couldn"t hold a candle to his power in his human form. When he had eradicated the invaders he went overseas and destroyed all of the Alvarez Empire and killed every man, woman, and child before he robbed their houses for anything of value for a dragon. He then destroyed the entire kingdom with several breath attacks just to show them his power... it also served as a reminder not to piss him off where some humans recorded the event in history books dubbing him the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse which was cool to him.

Erza sighed in defeat knowing she wouldn"t win against the man in a battle of wits. He was just too good for his own health. "Alright, but you be careful." Erza told the man as he walked away with a wave ignoring her comment. "What was that all about?" Lucy asked while Mira shrugged her shoulders. Naruto walked into the train station and sat down to wait. He really, really, really, really hated trains and the mere thought of having to ride one.

The train pulled into the train station where Naruto boarded the machine where it left for Clover town. Naruto felt the queasiness from being prone to motion sickness kick in and groaned. Oh how he loathed this machine. Naruto suddenly felt something evil on the train he was a wave of his hand Naruto used his Sky Dragon healing spell and was good as new in an instant. Standing up Naruto slid the door to his cabin room open before walking out.

It wouldn"t be even ten minutes until he arrived at the station in Onibus, but why did he feel the presence of that thrice damned flute Lullaby on the- it was on the train... f**k they had an ambush ready for him. Well what"s the use of having an ambush if nobody fell fo it. It would also work in his favor as he didn"t want to waste the day chasing down a bunch of punks. When the train stopped at the station Naruto got off and saw the guards trying to stop people from entering the station.

Naruto smelt the blood in the air and knew that the people inside were already dead. Nothing he could do for them so he snuck past the guards and into the station. Walking through the halls Naruto followed the smell of blood and found the bodies of a group of Rune Knights lying on the floor dead before he was snapped out of his thoughts as he ducked under the swing of a scythe that tried to remove his head from his shoulders, it was a pathetic attempt on his life really.

"You got lucky fly. How did you find us so quickly stupid insect?" the man questioned him. Naruto looked up and saw a man holding a scythe and knew that he was the one that tried to kill him. Naruto said nothing and vanished only to appear behind the man with a smirk on his face. "I don"t feel obligated to answer you trash." Naruto said as his hand sparked with electricity to the shocked man who tried to turn but it was to late as Naruto stabbed the man through the chest causing him to scream in pain an agony "AAAAAAHHHHHHH" as he was electrocuted by the man behind him.

Naruto removed his hand from the man"s back and he dropped on the ground groaning in pain. Naruto scoffed at the man "Oh grow up it wasn"t even at at full power. Seriously it"s people like you that give the world of magic a bad name." Naruto said as grabbed the man"s own weapon and lifted up. "Now... for the attempt on my life I Naruto Uzumaki... sentence you to death; effective immediately... farewell trash." Naruto said as he swung the man"s weapon and cleaved his head off.

Naruto saw the man"s head roll and ignored the blood that splattered over his body and dropped the weapon. Naruto then reached into the man"s cloak and pulled out the death flute and lit his hand on fire destroying the demon known as Lullaby. He then stood and saw the man"s subordinates looking at him in fear... good it would make delivering his judgment to them easier than having to look for them all before he destroyed them all. "Don"t think that just because I"m alone I"ll lose." he said.

He lifted his hand and a sword similar to the one he gave to the little devil grew out of his palm he stabbed it into the ground looking at them all the while. No need to flash his magic and destroy the place like the rest of the guild would. Naruto cracked his neck as he rolled his shoulders... time for some fun. The men"s muscles tensed, some of them armed with weaponry, took stances as archers drew their bows notched with arrows as some were praying to the gods as Naruto began jogging. Some swallowed their saliva as sweat dripped from their foreheads as Naruto"s pace increased as he was now running to them with no weapon in his hands.

The men screamed as some of the men took aim and launched the fallen boulder"s at Naruto who merely smirked at the incoming projectiles and with the might of a giant, he smashed them when they made contact with his fists as he dove headfirst into the small army and began decimating them. "By the gods…" a man gasped as he watched Naruto butchering his enemies left and right. Snapping necks and crushing bone with just his fists and kicks.

He even took a spear from one of them and somehow manipulated the wind into creating a violent tornado that swallowed at least forty men in it as the spear ruptured their torsos from his skills. One-sided slaughter indeed... "Where"d he go!" a man exclaimed as he watched Naruto vanish only to reappear while duel wielding, one a spear and a sword as he resembled a dancing camellia in the wind as blood rained onto the ground as boulders were smashed, he stood in that rain of blood, stain free as he threw the spear as it impaled three more men before stopping at the forth, making them look like meat on a skewer as they fell dead.

With the sword he had taken from a fallen warrior, he deflected every blow and threw it right into the heart of the nearest wizard. Naruto smirked as everyone backed away to see the souls of the slain gather into a sphere in his hand as he swallowed it immediately with a sigh of content. It merely made the dwindling army"s morale fall further. But before they could even blink, Naruto was in front of one of them and had grabbed him by the throat with a crushing gripped as the man struggled to break free. "You wish to dance as well?" Naruto asked in a bored tone as he turned to his right, sensing the wind changing as he was blown into the air while releasing the man he had who gasped for air as Naruto flipped midair and landed on his feet, skidding as he eyed the one who did that.

He stopped right next to the sword he had made with his magic and smirked... how foolish of them. "I won"t let you do this anymore!" a man that looked familiar exclaimed with a determined expression on his face. "Kids these days... no style... lame and boring all the same." Naruto thought as he stood straight and dusted his shoulder. The man gritted his teeth; he knew Naruto was mocking him like that, not considering him a true threat. "Karyū no..." Naruto began, as he drew his head back "Goka Mekkyaku (Fire Dragon"s Great Fire Annihilation)" he exclaimed as he exhaled fire from his mouth, a surging inferno that had heat scorching the very land it touched as all their eyes widened at such intensity of heat.

"Wall of Water!" a voice shouted as a massive wall of water erupted from nowhere and countered Naruto"s fire, causing steam to erupt as the two elements canceled each other out. Naruto smirked at their foolish move. This was his attack now... Jumping into the air Naruto thrust his body forward and started to cut through them as they yelled in both shock and pain. As the steam cleared Naruto cut down the last of them and sighed... still bored f*****g hell... With a swipe all the blood was cleaned off the blade leaving it clean once again.

Naruto ignored the bodies of the dead men and bit into the blade and continued to eat the blade until it was all gone. Most dragon slayers couldn"t eat their own magic as they were the one that called on the ancient power of the dragon, but Naruto was only able to because he forced the steel down his throat to gain the microscopic drop of magic he lost in the m******e. Naruto vanished before he appeared at a bathroom and walked in to wash himself off of all the blood on his body. That was fun while it lasted, but alas all good things must come to a end... that was how the saying went... at least back in his day.

When he was clean Naruto vanished and appeared back at the train station where he arrived and saw a train pull in, and it just happened that it was going back to Magnolia. He boarded the train and found a room for him to relax, what little he could, as he went back to Magnolia. Naruto got off and saw that it was dusk. The old man would be back in a few hours so he could go home and relax. Naruto went to his house he had been paying for, for the last seven years and went inside for a good night"s rest as it had been a long day for him... ok it was shorter than he thought but he just wanted a bit of rest.

Naruto walked into his house and sighed again... just another day being Naruto Uzumaki.

The next day Naruto was called in by the lame council and was questioned. He explained to them as a Wizard Saint he didn"t have to answer to them, and explained that the dark guild should have disbanded nearly ten years ago and seeing as they didn"t Naruto took matters into his own hands when he was informed of their incompetence on how to guard such a dangerous item. Of course they all yelled at him, but Naruto ignored them. He told them he did what should have happened when the Eisenwald guild didn"t obey them and did it for free.

After the meeting was over he snuck into his hidden vixens office and banged her brains out. Ultear had told him that soon the tower would be complete and he replied he would destroy it and she could join Fairy Tail and they could have all the fun they wanted then. Ultear accepted it and told him that they were to remain as f**k buddies and nothing else, even when he found a girl willing to share him, and he happily accepted her offer. Ultear was not only his spy for the council but for the dark guild Grimoire Heart and fed him sensitive information.

Two years ago Naruto had found a pink haired child and delivered her to Ultear who "rewarded" him for taking in the child. Meredy was another spy for him in the dark guild so he didn"t have to worry about being betrayed by the two of them. When he returned to the guild Naruto explained what had happened at the meeting, although he didn"t tell them of what transpired the day before, and in the end the guild threw a party which Naruto ignored.

Of course with such things going on a brawl quickly commenced and was also ignored by the silver haired dragon slayer. Naruto paid the busty barmaid for the noodles she had fed him and walked up the stairs for a mission that would take him out of town for a few days... hopefully. He reached out and randomly grabbed one of the missions and walked down the stairs. He showed Mira the mission he chose and signed the job journal. It was at this time a bottle smashed into the back of his head. The rest of the guild grew quiet as Naruto slowly turned around and saw a pale Natsu and Gray who were visibly shaking in fear.

Naruto was a friend yes, but if one pissed him off then they all faced his anger. "I"ll let it slide this time... but when I get back we are going to go train at the training grounds until I feel that the two of you have improved." Naruto said to the two ghostly men. Everyone in the guild was shaking at the mention of training... Naruto didn"t train... he exercised until he passed out which could take hours, hell it could take days depending on what technique he used, and if he dragged someone along for his training regime then you would wish you were dead from the amount of pain he inflicted onto your poor body.

Now Natsu and Gray were visibly crying in pure fear at the idea of "training" with Naruto. "I don"t wanna train." Natsu cried out. "Me either." Gray whined out. "He"s so sadistic." they yelled out in fear. Naruto ignored the two dragon slayers cries of how they didn"t want to train and walked out of the guild. He looked at the poster he had grabbed and smirked. It seemed that Dākuaian was still around. (2) That dragon was terrorising a city near Crocus and they needed a dragon slayer to take him down... finally something worth his time.

Boarding the train Naruto once again was tortured by the machine until he reached his destination. The town he needed to go to was a week into the mountains so he would have to work his way through nearly fifty miles of forest, which didn"t bother him as he liked being outdoors. He could of course smell Dākuaian near him, but he needed to get paid so he could finally buy those two tickets for Akane resort rather than rely on his gold cache for things he wanted, them fuckers were expensive as hell so don"t judge.

Naruto took his time to get to the town and was shocked by the level of destruction that lizard caused to the poor people. Walking up to one of the people Naruto cleared his throat to get his attention. "Oi where"s your boss or whatever you wanna call your leader at?" Naruto asked him. The man turned around and seen the dragon slayer "Oh so you"re the dragon slayer I requested... bout f*****g time you got here. Listen I don"t care how you get rid of that lizard but I want it gone. I"ve tripled the reward from ten-million Jewel to thirty-million Jewel for the death of that beast... help us... please..." the man said to Naruto.

"Alright I"m down... Any idea where he dwells?" Naruto asked him. The man pointed to a mountain "Up there on Mount Zonia... good hunting to you my friend..." he said as he went back to work. Naruto vanished before he appeared at the base of the mountain and started to grow. Soon his entire upper body was covered in black, round scales, which in turn, are decorated by spiraling, blue markings like when he is a human. His lower body, specifically his chin, chest, stomach, inner tail, thighs, and arms, are now gray almost silver in color, and appear to be rather smooth. Acnologia"s eyes turn white and beady, his head is now round and blunt with four, large, elongated plates extending backward.

Acnologia"s mouth is once again filled with tons of razor-sharp teeth, and, attached to his chin, is a protrusion that resembles an arrowhead. His large dark wings are feathery in appearance, akin to a bird"s, and very similar to the Sky Dragon Grandeeney"s. The scales disappear at the end of Acnologia"s tail, which, in itself, ends in a stinger-esque shape finishing his transformation. For the first time in seven years Naruto had assumed his dragon form which was a relief as he had missed the feeling of being such a large monster.

Flapping his wings Acnologia soared to the peak of the mountain and saw his prey lazing about. The dark Iron Dragon also known as Dākuaian was as lazy as he was nearly four centuries ago. "Dākuaian It"s time I finished you off..." Acnologia called out gaining the dragon"s attention. Dākuaian unfurled his wings and took to the skies looking at Acnologia "Bout damn time. Do you know how long it"s been since I"ve had a proper fight?" Dākuaian asked the Black Dragon.

"Don"t know... don"t care... all I care about is ending the existence of all dark dragon"s and Ancalagon." Acnologia told the dragon who snorted at him. "Let"s begin..." Dākuaian said as he charged at Acnologia. Acnologia didn"t reply as he too charged the dragon. Dākuaian Swung a arm out trying to cleave him in two as Acnologia did the same. Acnologia dodged and Grasped Dākuaian"s forearm in his jaws and sent his own into the dragon"s gut cleaving him in two. Acnologia watched as the shocked dragon hovered in the air for several moments before it started to fall to the ground dying.

Acnologia landed next to the downed dragon and walked up to it before shifting into his human form "This is farewell Dākuaian... rot in the pits of hell..." Naruto said emotionlessly as he stabbed the dragon in the chest and grasped it"s soul... and pulled. When he reaped the soul of the dark steel dragon Naruto absorbed it. He then waled to the dead dragon"s tail and grabbed it and started to drag the beast down the mountain. He was kinda upset that Dākuaian didn"t put up much of a fight, but then again he hadn"t been in a fight for quite sometime. To say that the people were shocked was a understatement as they had thought he had gone alone to fight the beast.

He not only did so, but he did it with little effort. The man that had tripled the reward came up to him with a envelope filled to near bursting with money "Here... your reward for bringing down that dragon." the man said handing him the money. Naruto nodded his head and proceeded to keep dragging the carcass out of the town and into the woods before he vanished. Only for him and the cold corpse to reappear at another mountain. Naruto spent the next two hours removing the scales from the dragon"s hide and cutting the meat, what was left, and setting it down on a table.

He then took all the organs, also what was left, and proceeded to dispose of them. Grinding the meat down Naruto extracted the magic from the meat and poured the now liquid energy into a small vial. He then took the scales and fashioned a couple of them onto his necklace, which was made from dragon scales. He then took the scales, what was left of them, and proceeded to grind them into a very fine powder. He then took some of the blood and mixed it with a bit of Ginseng causing it to glow a deep blue. This particular potion would help with a person"s endurance and physical fitness as well.

It could also serve to boost one"s libido if they felt hormonal, but that was a rare reason to drink this potion. He repeated the process but mixed the ground up scales and liquid magic with different herbs. He mixed up one potion with Astragalus which would boost one"s immune system and give them a boost in magic as well. He mixed a third potion with Milk Thistle so he could help a drunk out as it was meant to be a sobriety herb, but if boosted with the power of a dragon they would stay sober for weeks on end without the want to touch a drop of alcohol.

The fourth he mixed with Echinacea, for a better natural healing factor boost and also a great pain reliever along with muscle relaxer for the elderly. The fifth potion was made with Bilberry, a natural blood cell increaser which increased the production of red and white blood cells and it boosted the immune system for several years keeping the one who drank the potion healthy for several months without the need to ever see a doctor. The sixth one he made used Licorice, and the reason he used this particular herb was because it would ease cramps. Whether it be for a woman on her period or a leg cramp it worked miracles for everybody who drank it down.

The seventh Ephedra which was a sinus reliever for those with bad allergies like Meredy during certain times of the year. This particular potion actually healed, if they had, those with a heart murmur or Pulmonary Valve Stenosis which killed a lot of people every year. The next potion made used Ginkgo Biloba, which would heal a person who was going blind by targeting the dead or dying cells in the drinkers eye"s. It was also good for those who had an earache so that was a plus. The final one he made used Hawthorn, an natural adrenaline rush for those who were suffering from a bad case of boredom in their lives, perfect for him, and would make them hyper like a child.

He made thirty of each before he ran out of the two ingredients of liquid magic and powdered dragon scales. He looked at the skeleton of the dragon he slew not even three hours ago and sighed. He walked up to the remains before he reached up and grasped a rib and pulled on it breaking it in the process. He the walked over to a grinder and drilled into the bone and started to extract the bone marrow from within. This process took a half hour and filled three half gallon jugs with the powerful powder.

He then took the empty bone and began to carve intricate designs in the side of the bone depicting a picture of a group of seven dragons, all of which were highly detailed, flying through a cloudless sky over a large forest with a large mountain range in the background. He sat the bone down and repeated the next bone. He kept repeating the process of grabbing a dragon bone, draining the marrow, and carving a picture into the bone. Each bone he drained of the marrow and each picture he drew was a delicate process. Each picture was different as each of them showed a different point of his own life and what was to come.

One picture was of him and a woman holding a child in a hospital room with smiles on their faces. He didn"t know the woman, except that she was familiar to him due to the fact as her eyes were filled with adoration and love for her child. Another showed him standing next to a group of dragons imbuing their own magic into his flesh turning him into a immortal dragon slayer and charming him into being the guardian of the Land of Dragon"s... a sacred island only known to a dragon. When he was finished Naruto mixed the dragon"s bone marrow with a bit of ground mustard herb and formed a healthy paste called Ēteru which could do what many would call miracles.

The mixture of the two would allow an infertile woman or man to sire a child without having to see a doctor. It would heal a deaf person allowing them to heal. If a dying person were to eat it then they would not die. It was one of the most powerful potions in existence and was considered a godsend potion. Naruto sighed as he finished the las of the potions and looked at the entrance to the cave he was at and saw the sun setting. He had spent the better part of the day doing his work so he cleaned up the mess, what little there was, and tied the bones together in perfect order showing a perfect picture of time from his first breath... until the last...

Although his last wouldn"t be for nearly another five-thousand years it was there, as well as the woman that he had been with. "Well... that"s all I can do for now..." Naruto said with a tired sigh as he grabbed a crate filled it with thick leaves, and placed the potions inside, all stacked neatly in small groups, before he covered those with another layer of leaves and then placed the crate lid over and gently hammered in the nails. The potions could sell for a large sum of Jewel, but Naruto had another purpose for them. They were for the benefit of Fairy Tail. They were worth a lot of money... and yet he wouldn"t sell them... quite ironic in his eye"s.
