AN* Ok, new story everybody! Had this idea bouncing around my head for awhile now but here is hoping that I did a good enough job on it. Enjoy and leave your reviews.

The Demon Awakens

It was a grim day for the number one guild in all of Fiore. Phantom Lord had started a war with Fairy Tail and was now launching a massive attack against them. Erza and the other mages had just barely managed to hold off the first shot from Phantom Lord's Jupiter Cannon and now were faced with a fifteen minute time limit to stop the second, more powerful shot. As soon as Jose had finished the ultimatum something strange occurred. A gigantic white spell form appeared around the guild hall, shocking everyone who stared at it as it glowed brighter and brighter until it disappeared and a rumbling was felt by all.

"What is going on?!" Gray shouted.

"I... I don't know." Erza said in shock as the rumbling stopped and they saw that part of the ground had fallen, creating a massive stair that went down under the guild hall. Before anyone could say anything about this there was the sound of something akin to a roar and more rumblings were felt, sounding like footsteps were climbing from the depths of the abyss under the guild hall. For a few seconds the booms got louder and then softer as suddenly a figure appeared walking up the stairs. He was a blonde haired youth, close to Natsu's age if they had to guess, wearing black and orange pants and a red coat with black flames on the edge.

"*YAAAAAAWWWWNN*!" the youth growled as he opened his mouth wide as he finished climbing the stairs, stretching as he did and blearily opened his eyes and surveyed the area "I don't know any of you... Great..."

This caused most of the guild to face fall at the statement as the new youth glanced around some more, his cerulean eyes taking in the state of the Fairy Tail mages and then turned to look at the guild hall. When he turned back around his eyes were a dark thundercloud as he stared at the mobile Phantom Lord guild hall in front of him.

"Are they responsible for what happened here?" he asked, his voice a low growl as many of the mages nodded "Are they the ones that hurt all of you?" Again there was another wave of nods "Who is the guild master of that guild, and where is your guild master?"

"Jose Porla, and our master is Makarov Dreyar" Cana said as the blond looked at her for a moment before speaking.

"Makarov Dreyar is the guild master. Where is he?"

"He was injured by Phantom Lord." Erza explained as the blond's glare deepened. Taking a deep breath he turned towards Phantom Lord's building.

"JOSE!" he roared, startling Fairy Tail "You attacked my home! You attacked Makarov! And worse you attacked my nakama! You have made the last mistake you will ever make! You have pissed off the wrong man!"

"Who are you?" Gray asked with a frown as he saw the blond walking towards Phantom Lord.

"Me? I am Naruto Uzumaki, The Demon of Fairy Tail." Naruto grinned evilly as he sniffed the air a few times and turned towards Natsu "Dragon!"

"Yeah?!" Natsu jumped in surprise at the shout.

"Take out that Jupiter Cannon!" Naruto ordered.

"Right!" Natsu yelled as he and Happy took off to destroy the massive weapon as Naruto smirked as he saw the shades starting to appear.

"Hope you don't mind if I leave these to you. I am going hunting." Naruto stated as he crouched down and jumped up and started leaping up the giant legs of the Phantom Lord base, surprising everyone there by the act.

"Just who is that guy?" Erza asked as she shook her head before focusing on the shades. Naruto was soon inside the base, his nose sniffing the air as he started walking through, searching for Jose, and whoever it was that harmed Makarov. As he walked his nose soon picked up a scent and he grinned as he recognized it. Turning left at the next hallway Naruto made his way towards it when he suddenly felt floor start to shake and frowned as knew that this wasn't the result of some attack. Shrugging it off since he knew that this wasn't something he could do something about Naruto continued down the corridors until he finally arrived at the source of the smell and saw Natsu fighting a mage that was hitting him with some invisible attack. Sniffing the air again Naruto nodded and moved forward, catching Natsu as he got sent flying back.

"Easy Dragon." he stated as he patted his arm "This scum is mine."

"What?" Natsu asked in shock.

"You heard me." Naruto remarked as he helped him up "Go, there is another dragon in here that needs to be dealt with."

"You sure? He is strong."

"I'm strong too." Naruto grinned as he nodded for Natsu to leave "This scum is mine."

With that final word Natsu nodded and ran off as Naruto glared at the man in front of him.

"How sorrowful... Another young mage giving me his neck." Aria sobbed.

"Don't worry. I'll give you a reason to cry in just a second." Naruto grinned as he rolled his neck and slipped into a fighting stance "I haven't had a good fight in a long time. I'm going to enjoy making you bleed!"

With that Naruto charged forward as Aria simply sent more of his Zetsu spells at the blond but shocked the blindfolded man as he somehow weaved through the attacks with ease and managed to get in close enough to hit him with a right hook across the face, sending him flying towards a wall. Aria's mouth slipped into a frown as he stood up and tilted his head.

"Who are you?" he asked "I have no knowledge of you."

"I doubt you would." Naruto smirked as he grinned at the man "But all you need to know is that I am going to end you."

Aria only removed his blindfold in response and Naruto could feel the increase in his power as he did.

"It is so sad that you have forced this to happen. Your death will be so sorrowful." Aria sighed "But I hope will you be strong enough to entertain me. But no one has survived Zero, the Airspace of death!" With that he raised his arms so his palms were facing towards Naruto, with the right one on top and the left one on the bottom. As his spell went towards Naruto the blond only grinned as he started inhaling and instead of the attack hitting him it was drawn into the blond's mouth, shocking Aria.

"You... You are another dragon?!" Aria shouted in shock.

"Heh... You think I'm some dragon?" Naruto chuckled as he cracked his neck and patted his belly "No I am something far worse. Dragons have honor, dragons show mercy. Me? No, I respect those with honor but will fight without when I have to. I don't know the meaning of mercy, but then again... What can you expect from a demon?" Taking a deep breath a green with black tint spell seal appeared in front of him "Wind Demon's Rage!" With that the great wind shot forth, smashing into the mage and throwing him out into the air outside where the blond quickly followed "We aren't done yet! Wind Demon's Slashing Claw!" Wind magic wrapped around his fingers, turning them into claws as he swung them down, slashing into the mage and sending him smashing into the ground stories below with a massive dust cloud. Using the winds around him to slow his decent as he landed on the ground with a smirk looking at the wounded mage crying in pain.

"NO! S... Stay away!" Aria shouted as he saw Naruto standing over him.

"I told you I'd give you something to cry about." Naruto smirked as he turned and swung an arm behind him, destroying a shade that had been approaching as he looked at Aria again "I'd kill you, but you didn't kill Makarov so I will spare you. But if I ever see you again then I will rip your heart out."

Turning Naruto walked towards the mass amount of shades where he planned on cutting loose some more before heading off to find Makarov. Minutes passed as the blond cut loose on the spectral figures and during this fight Makarov returned, fighting Jose for a brief time before unleashing Fairy Law, destroying the shades and defeating Jose.

"Master!" The guild cheered as they saw their master back in full strength.

"I am glad to see my children are well." Makarov smiled as he looked at the guild members, not seeing Naruto sneaking up on the older man.

"Master, there is something that you should know." Cana began, but before she could finish Naruto struck, grabbing the guild master in a headlock and proceeded to noggie him.

"NOGGIE!" the blond yelled, shocking the members of Fairy Tail "Noggie noggie noggie noggie!"

"Dammit! Let me go!" Makarov shouted as he tried to wriggle out and finally made his arms increase in size and grabbed the blond and threw him "Dammit Naruto I told you to stop doing that!" There was a moment of stunned silence as he looked at the blond "Naruto?!"

"Heh. Do you know anyone else that is this awesome?" Naruto grinned as he stood up.

"You aren't awesome." Makarov stated as Naruto was soon crouched down with a storm cloud over his head.

"So mean..." he muttered.

"Naruto... Why are you awake?" Makarov asked.

"Blame Jose and his Jupiter Cannon." Naruto said as he bounced back so fast that the rest of the guild thought he might be bi-polar.

"Master, who is he?" Erza asked.

"This is Naruto Uzumaki. One of the original members of Fairy Tail, and the last resort should the guild come under attack." Makarov explained as everyone stood in shock as Naruto removed his coat and showed them the Fairy Tail mark on his upper back.

"How?" Erza finally asked.

"Thank the First." Naruto said as his eyes got a far away look in them.

"She was worried about something like this happening one day." Makarov explained "She feared that one day the guild would make someone angry enough to try and destroy us. So she asked Naruto to be placed in a special kind of stasis under the guild hall that would only trigger if they attacked the guild hall with members inside of it."

"So what kind of mage are you?" Gray asked.

"Wind Demon Slayer." Naruto replied with a grin as he looked at them "One of the few pure bred Demon Slayers that existed in the world before I went to sleep."

"Fight me!" Natsu shouted as he ran towards the blond demon slayer who only smirked as he put his right hand on the dragon's head.

"After we recover." Naruto promised with a grin "I'll take a fight with you when you are at your best."

"Yes!" Natsu shouted with a grin at the promise. There was soon talk of a party to celebrate the defeat of Phantom Lord and Naruto smiled as he looked at Makarov who was talking with Mira and Erza about the fact that they were innocent, and soon was crying at the fact that he would have to go to the trial about this issue.

"Cheer up Makarov." Naruto chuckled as he crouched down and patted his head "I'll go with you to the council, they are going to want to talk to me too."

"True..." Makarov nodded "Thanks Naruto."

"No problem." Naruto nodded as he stood back up and looked at the guild "Now who wants ramen?!" This was met with silence as Naruto shouted again "Who wants ramen?!... Seriously? No one? You guys suck..." Naruto then sulked off, in search of his favorite food while the rest of Fairy Tail stared at him like he was crazy.

Over the next week the councils army came in and interviewed everyone about what had occurred, though they oddly avoided Naruto saying that the council wanted to talk to him directly. Once the army was finished with it's investigation Makarov and Naruto were called to the meeting, with them going over the facts and it wasn't long before Makarov fell asleep and Naruto was bored out of his mind.

"Makarov!" one of the councilors shouted, waking the old master.

"Huh?" he exclaimed sleepily.

"We're cleared." Naruto sighed as the old man nodded "We done?"

"Not yet. There is the matter of your return Naruto Uzumaki. We were told that you died close to seventy-five years ago." Org remarked as he stared at the young man "But here you are, alive and not looking a day over 30."

"25 actually." Naruto remarked as he looked at them "I believe we already explained as to how and why I am alive and am so young."

"Yes, but the details have been left out." Michello remarked "That is something that needs to be discussed, and to make sure that this kind of thing doesn't happen again."

"It can't." Naruto sighed "Mavis was the only one that knew the spell, and said that it was a one time deal. Hence why the conditions of my reawakening were so strict."

"I see." Seigrad nodded as he met the blond's gaze "There is another matter that I would like to discuss with you. Your file is under triple S rank classification. It is odd that it is classified to even some members of the council."

"It's in regard to some jobs I did for the council." Naruto stated "If you don't have the clearance to read it then I will not talk about it."

"Mister Uzumaki, there are only two people here who have a SSS rank clearance." Crawford Seam stated "However I have not opened this file as I would like you to tell the rest of the council what is in here so we may make an informed decision."

"I can't." Naruto said as he looked at the chairman with ease "You see I swore that unless the person has that level of clearance or has been granted access to The Deeps that I would not speak of what is in that file unless it was of dire importance."

"And what if we were to deem it necessary to reveal it?" Ultear asked.

"Then you clearly have a death wish. You release me from my word and I only have two words to say to you. Weapon X." Naruto stated with a smirk as he saw the two council members with the appropriate clearance shift with unease "So if there is nothing else than I will be going now."

With that Naruto walked out of the room with Makarov who looked at Naruto with a frown.

"Weapon X?" he asked.

"Can't talk about it." Naruto replied "You know how I am with my word."

"True enough." Makarov nodded.

"That was a close one old friend." Yajime stated as he exited the council chamber behind them "You owe me three bowls of ramen for this one."

"I like this guy." Naruto smiled as Makarov sighed and tried to barter with the councilor until he finally gave in to the three bowls of ramen.

"You might want to consider retirement soon." Yajime stated "I can't keep protecting Fairy Tail forever."

After saying their farewells the pair made their way back towards the guild hall when Makarov brought up the matter.

"Yajime has a point. I am getting on in years and I should probably choose the Fourth." Makarov sighed.

"Well who are your options?" Naruto asked.

"Gildarts is our ace, but he is away too often. Mystogan is another S rank but he doesn't like to interact with the guild much. Erza is too young and strict to take over. And Laxus, my grandson, still has a lot of growing to do. There is always you."

"No." Naruto said "I am not the best option."

"You care about Fairy Tail with every fiber of your being, and you would do what it takes to protect everyone."

"And would also likely cause a massive catastrophe that gets the guild shut down." Naruto chuckled "You've forgotten what it's like to have me around again."

"It has been a long time." Makarov sighed as they walked "Hard to believe that you are the older one here."

"Hard to believe that you never grew taller, I mean your dad was a pretty good height." Naruto noted as Makarov glared at him. Once they were back at the Guild Hall Makarov went off to handle some more paperwork before getting a drink from Mira when Naruto spotted Laxus.

"When I finally take over as Guild Master, I will get rid of all you weaklings first." Laxus laughed evilly, and stopped when he felt a hand on his throat. Before he could react Naruto threw him straight out the door of the building and was following after him, anger written in every fiber of his being.

"Care to repeat yourself?" Naruto hissed as he walked outside, the wind itself starting to rise up in his anger "Because I could have sworn that you were just badmouthing your own guildmates."

"And if I was?" Laxus snapped.

"Then we are going to have words." Naruto stated as the wind increased and Laxus felt a slight tinge of worry "Fairy Tail was built for all, not just the strong. I will not let you sully it's name with your arrogance." Naruto took a step closer, towering over Laxus who had yet to stand up "Because you are Makarov's grandson I will not spill your blood today but I will make it perfectly clear where we stand. As you are now I will be dead before I let you become Guild Master and ruin the guild that Mavis built. If I so much as think that you are going to be a problem than I will personally tear you apart!" The last word came out as a roar as the winds died out and Naruto turned and walked back towards the building "Let this be your only warning Laxus Dreyar, The Demon of Fairy Tail has returned and I will not let anyone harm Mavis's creation."
