I Do Not Own Naruto Or Fairy Tail

(Crocus, Capital of Fiore)

"Welcome One! Welcome All, to the Graaannndddd Magic Games!"

Stepping off the train that had carried them to Crocus Naruto looked around the station taking in all the sights. People smiling, kids running around shouting, balloons and other decorations covering the city.

"Quite the sight isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is." He answered stepping off the way so the rest of his team could exit the train. Alzack came first helping Bisca who had her hands wrapped around her stomach protectively, then Jet and Droy each trying to beat the other out the door shoving those two out together Nab stepped down with Kinana and finally Romeo following behind him.
"You guys ready for this?" He asked excitedly. The last time he took part in a tournament like this was his first Chunin exams and just like then he was ready to show this world his strength. Only this time it was for a different reason.

"You mean embarrassing ourselves for the third year in a row? I can't contain my joy."

"Come on Nab, you got to have a little faith. Fairy Tail is going to place a lot better this year." Naruto said giving the group a 'nice guy' smile. "We are totally going to kick ass."

"You mean you're going to kick ass and we are going to flop." Jet mumbled through a handful of potato chips. "Isn't that why you turned down being Guild Master until after the games? So at least one Fairy Tail mage wouldn't completely embarrass the Guild."

Naruto shook his head at the self-deprecation his friends were showing. "See this is why I told you not to tell anyone that you offered for me to become Guild Master. They think I don't trust their strength."

Standing next to the young soon to be Master Macao shrugged a shoulder and walked ahead. "Guess you'll just have to prove to them you do. Think of it as a practice run for when you're Master."

Sighing Naruto shook his head and followed the rest of the guild into the city to find their housing for the duration of their stay.

While they walked he saw the other guilds they passed snicker and motion in the direction of their group more than once and had to bite his cheek to keep from saying something. He didn't like people talking bad about his friends and while the other Fairy Tail members weren't showing it he could see the slight tensing in their muscles when someone laughed or made a comment that they could hear.

"At least the view is nice." Naruto thought sullenly as he looked up at the stadium where the Magic Games would be held and viewed. He had been excited to see the Capital city of his new home country and it certainly didn't disappoint but he was having a hard time enjoying it when all of his friends were so downtrodden.

"I can always sight see the next time we come." Next year he could visit the King's castle and other historical sights but for this week he would focus on making sure his Guild won the games.

"Hey, Naruto!" Macao called from behind him. "You missed our turn. The hotel is this way."

"Right," Naruto scratched the back of his head laughing at being caught so lost in his thoughts. "Lead the way, Master."

Macao shook his head. "You know soon everyone is going to be calling you that, not me."

"Yeah, but right now they're not." Naruto jogged to catch back up to Macao as the dark blue haired man led everyone through the capital city.

After a five minute walk and a hundred more amused side glances and half-heartedly concealed snickers the group reached their cabin or cabins.

"Why are there two cabins? We don't have that many people." Naruto asked pointing between the two cabins that had Fairy Tail's symbol on the front. Each was on one side of the street and that was even weirder. Why not have them next to each other?

"The five fighters representing the Guild get their own cabin. The games haven't even started yet but the rules were clear. If any member of the Guild not competing enters the fighters cabin the whole Guild is disqualified and if a competitor isn't in their cabin by the eight o'clock curfew the Guild is disqualified." Macao explained checking his watch. "It's already seven and Alzack is going to help Bisca put Asuka down so if you guys don't mind please stay in the cabin. I know you probably want to sight see Naruto, and I'm sorry to ask but-"

Naruto waved a hand cutting of Macao from explaining and started marching toward the front door of the cabin. He understood Macao was looking out for everyone since Fairy Tail couldn't really afford being disqualified.

"No problem, Macao. Best to get some sleep anyway, big day tomorrow, ya know."

XxX

(That Night)

"Mm, ramen," Naruto muttered rolling over in his bed, licking his lips.

A few more minutes of peaceful dreaming Naruto was about to start his third lap in the giant bowl of ramen but the glass shattered and his wonderful food drained away.

Outside his wonderful dream in the real world, his body shot up like a rocket and his feet attached to the ceiling of his room with a thin layer of Chakra despite the whole place shaking.

"What the hell is going?" Naruto thought as he drew a kunai from the pouch attached to his thigh even when he slept. A habit he and many other started during the war when Zetsu clones began attacking at night. You could never tell when an attack is coming so you had to be prepared for an attack twenty-four four seven.

"Naruto are you-" Alzack busted through the door to Naruto's room and his shouting was halted as he came face to face with an upside down Naruto. "What are you doing?"

Naruto dropped from the ceiling a flipped mid-air to land on his feet. "The building is shaking I thought we were under attack."

"Attack? In the middle of the Capital city?"

"You never know when the enemy could strike Alzack. It is imperative you be ready at all times." Naruto said but he didn't let go of his kunai even after being told there wasn't an attack happening. "If we aren't under attack why is the building shaking?"

Alzack brushed past Naruto's comment reluctantly and with a frown but he didn't ask about the blondes past. All the guild knew was that he was from another world where Magic was called Chakra and he fought in a war and led his guild or village for a year before coming to Fiore through a portal.

The sharpshooter assumed the whole be prepared for an attack at all times was how his future Guild master survived the war he fought in so he kept his comments to himself focusing on explaining what was happening.

"The preliminary rounds are starting."

Naruto lips lowered forming a frown. "No one said anything about Preliminary rounds. Although it should have been obvious. One hundred and nineteen guilds with five competitors each, no way would the games be completed in five days."

He should have seen it coming. During the Chunin exams, there was a preliminary round to lower the number of contestants because six teams of three were too many for the final stage.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. We should've seen it coming." Alzack agreed. "But nothing we can do about it now, so let's go. I yelled for the others to meet us on the roof. We'll have a better view of what's going on from there and if my gut is right our cabin isn't the only one in the air."

"Good plan." Naruto reached out as Alzack turned to go back out the door and grabbed the back of the sharp shooters poncho. "This way is quicker."

Dragging a screaming Alzack with him, Naruto jumped through the window of his room at glued himself to the side of their floating cabin ignoring the hundred foot drop between them and the ground and ran straight up the side of the building.

"AHH!"

Alzack was not as lucky. Thanks to the way Naruto was holding him all he could do was look down. And he couldn't fly.

"Naruto you bastard! Put me down!"

"Eh, I don't think that's a good idea, Alzack." Naruto laughed. He didn't plan on scaring his friend but hey who was he to turn down a prank. If it happened unintentionally it was obviously meant to happen.

Jumping the last few feet to the roof Naruto let go of Alzack and the gun magic user fell to the ground next to Max.

"Alzack, you ok?" Max asked watching his teammate hug the ground.

Alzack froze and stood up stiffly, coughing and dusting the front of his poncho off. "Of course, Max. I'm fine, you?"

"Fine, too. You know where Jet and Droy are?" Max asked looking around the roof. He had half expected Shadow gear to beat him to the top given Jet's speed. "Then again since Levy's death, they haven't been the same."

"Ah, Jet, Droy! You two ready?" Naruto asked as the final two members of their team made it to the roof.

Jet and Droy and cracked grins but Naruto could see they were fake and his enthusiasm died down some. He had been hoping when the games actually started his team would perk up a little more but it seemed their recent defeats at the past Grand Magic Games were still weighing them down.

Looking away from them and around the city, Naruto saw the other guild houses floating as well. All one hundred and four of them creating a small town in the sky. The other guild teams also had the same idea as them and we're all climbing onto their respective roofs as well to survey the competition.

"HELLO GUILDS!"

"What the hell is that?" Naruto stared at the giant hologram pumpkin man that had just appeared in the center of Crocus.

He had seen some strange things in his rather short life, a lot of strange things in fact but a giant pumpkin with large eyes and mouth wearing a striped shirt with white cuffs, a black under shirt with a dark cape that had white edges and a white underside along with a pair of white pants, boots, and white gloves with a green witch hat on its pumpkin head was near the top of the list.

"I hope you all slept well because the Grand Magic Games begin now!"

Naruto shielded his eyes as dozens of fireworks shot into the sky lighting up the night with the symbol of Fiore made out gold and silver lights.

"As you have noticed there are one too many guilds in the games." the pumpkin head held out his hands. "But don't worry, there won't be for long. Only eight teams will move on to compete in the Grand Magic games and the other ninety-six will be eliminated TONIGHT!"

"Eliminating ninety-six guilds in one night?" Naruto wondered how that was going to happen. The Chunin exams went on for five days before the final fighters were chosen.

"Now guilds get ready!" Waving his hands in exaggerated motions Mato acted as if he was controlling the cabins as they began to move floating closer to those around them. "Eight matches between thirteen guilds in a battle royal."

"The rules are simple fighters! If you are knocked off the cabins and touch the ground or are unable to continue fighting you are out. Whichever guild has the most members left at the end of the fights wins and continues on to compete in the real games."

Naruto saw a Video Lacrima appear in front of the royal castle displaying a countdown clock set at eight hours. "That'll go all the way in the morning. If we don't finish soon-"

"You better hurry fighters. The first day of the Grand Magic Games starts in nine hours. Your team might not do so well if they're tired from fighting all night." Mato said cackling.

"The Preliminaries start now!"

00:7:59:59

"Guys to me," Naruto ordered jumping to the middle of the roof as magic barriers formed a square cutting them and twelve other cabins off from the rest of the Guilds.

When Max, Alzack, Jet, and Droy had gathered in a half circle in front of him Naruto pointed a thumb over his shoulder at the clock that was ticking behind him. "We don't want to be going into the first challenge tired so tonight let me handle the fighting."

"You sure?" Alzack asked. "Wouldn't it be better for us to fight and for you to save your strength? You're the strongest on the team after all."

"Don't worry about that." Naruto grinned and four clones popped into existence and wrapped their arms around his teammates anchoring them to the roof with Chakra. "Just make sure to hold onto my clones."

Jumping away from the group Naruto threw his arms out wide forming a straight line from one hand to the next his sun and moon seals on the palm of his hands glowing brightly as he pushed Chakra into them mixing his energy with the Sages.

"Shinra Tensei."

The four Fairy Tail members trapped by blonde clones gaped as the world around Naruto shimmered before a wave of power blasted past them nearly knocking them off their feet if it wasn't for the clones holding them.

All the cabins around the Fairy Tail cabin were hit by the force and sent flying towards the Magic Barriers.

"What the hell!"

"Fairy Tail isn't that strong!"

"Did their old members return? Why didn't anyone tell us?"

Listening to the cries of fear, and anger as sixty people were stuck by his attack Naruto's grin widened as the enemy cabins struck against the magic barriers and shattered leaving the other contestants nowhere to go but down.

The pumpkin Hologram gasped. "Th...The First team advances!

Naruto's clones dispelled and the entire team future guild master included looked towards the countdown clock as Mato announced their victory.

00:7:58:59

"WINNER: FAIRY TAIL!"

So sorry for the long wait everyone.

Thanks to everyone who has stuck around despite the large gap between updates but I'm back now and I hope you guys like the story so far.

Leave a review with what you think of the story and your choice for pairing. And also whether you think other Ninja should come through the portal. It won't be many people just Kakashi and Konohamaru who I'd put on a team with Romeo and Wendy when she comes back. You know, start a Fairy Tail team Seven :)

Anyway, let me know what you think of that idea and thanks for reading!

See ya in the next chapter!
