As you requested, a Shinobi Alliance Reads: RDK story. Here it is, please enjoy

Konohagakure no Sato, the Village Hidden in the Leaf, was peaceful. There was no threat of war, Madara and Kaguya had been defeated and vanquished to allow the world to sleep peacefully. And it was all thanks to one Knuckleheaded Ninja named Naruto Uzumaki. Of course his old friend and rival Sasuke helped too, but even the normally stoic Uchiha had admitted that it was the Uzumaki that had done most if not all of the heavy lifting in the end of the fight. That was before they decided to hash things out one last time at The Valley of the End and destroyed it more than her grandfather and Madara had when they had fought and created it.

Naruto was currently out on a mission and was learning how to lead a team so he could earn his Jonin promotion thanks to Kakashi (Who had seen fit to grant it to him after all the hardships he had gone through for the world.) who was also his teacher and the newly appointed Hokage of the Leaf. Tsunade was helping him settle in by sorting through the useless paperwork and the essential paperwork and telling him how it was easier if he had secretaries who knew what they were doing sort it out. However, Shikamaru more than qualified for the position as he had volunteered himself for Naruto's future position as the Seventh Hokage of the Leaf.

Kakashi sighed as he signed the last piece of paper on his desk and sat it in his completed pile of papers, "Whelp, that's the last of it. Thank god." he told himself.

The door opened to reveal one Tsunade Senju as she brought in a bottle of booze and two cups, "Hey Kakashi, time to celebrate two months of sanity behind the endless waves of paper." she called out.

"Oh, Tsunade-sama I didn't kniow you were coming." he said.

"Ah what's the matter, to scared to actually celebrate the fact that it's easier to have a bunch of secretaries do the work for you. Gods only know how you can finish faster than I can." she said as she poured the two of them a drink.

"I think that's because Shizune had you do it all just to be safe." Kakashi told her.

"Yeah, no doubt about that." she agreed.

However, before the two of them could truly begin to relax at the end of their workday a bright light enveloped them and startled the two Kage level ninja. Before they could say anything, they were whisked away to a unknown place. And all across the continent multiple ninja were being pulled from their activities as a light summoned them to a large room to read about how bad it could have been for their greatest hero.

As the light died down Kakashi blinked away the spots he saw in his eyes and saw that he was surrounded by familiar faces. Of course some of those familiar faces ere supposed to be dead, but maybe this as because he had ingested to much alcohol and had possibly passed out drunker than a skunk. A hand on his shoulder told him that, he as however, not drunk. Looking to the owner of said hand he was surprised to see that it belonged to Master Jiraiya who had given his life to give them a message, quite literally, so they could fight against the Akastuki, "Master Jiraiya, what's going on? How are you here?" he asked in confusion.

"Hey Kakashi, been awhile. Saw what happened during the ar. You did good." he told the new Kage. and got a nod of appreciation, "However, all that we who have been here for a bit have found was this strange book." he said motioning for him to follow.

"A book?" Kakashi asked.

"Yeah, but that's not all. We haven't been able to open it or even translate the title. It's rather puzzling if I say so myself." the spy master told the silver haired man.

"That is peculiar." Kakashi muttered.

"Yeah, I actually just came to get you cuz you somehow passed out after seeing Minato and Sakumo here ith us." Jiraiya said causing Kakashi to wince as the memory flooded his head and he could only feel embarrassment, "So how is that godson of mine?" Jiriaya asked him.

"With the war over, Naruto has been learning things that could qualify him for a promotion. It was deemed a necessary thing due to his power. If he can take on S-Class and above missing nin and win it wouldn't sit well for a mere genin to do the job. Other than that he's also been... getting around." he said with mild embarrassment. The one time he actually walked on on the blonde getting it on across his desk with both Kurotsuchi and Mei was something he couldn't get out of his mind.

Jiraiya felt his pervert senses going off as he heard what Kakashi said, "We will have to get back to that topic later, let's just head over to the other's." he said with a grin.

Tsunade was with her grandfather discussing what had happened after the war had completely closed and he was pleased. He had been the first to arrive in this unknown place, the book had come roughly five hours ago, and Tsunade had been here roughly two hours. Hashirama sighed as he held the book, "Why won't you just open dammit!?" he cried out. He wanted to see what secrets it held for Pete's Sake and it was simply torturing him being unable to read it. As he was shaking it, he saw a note fall out of the pages. Without hesitation he bent over to pick up the slip of paper that had come out of the book he had in his grasp.

"Hey guy's, I got something." he called out calling the other's who had appeared in the room who came over at the mans call.

"What is it Lord First?" Jiraiya asked.

"It's a note." he said excitedly.

"Seriously, a note?" one Mei Terumi asked him (And yes, this was the same Mei that had been with Naruto and Kurotsuchi in the Hokage's office getting it on like rabbits in heat) as she crossed her arms under her bust.

"Yeah, it just fell out of the book. I think it's time we can open it." Hashirama said.

"Let me see it elder brother." Tobirama said as he took the note from the Firt Hokage, "Says, 'Please enjoy this story that has been provided', well that's not much of a note if you ask me." he said as he looked up.

Hashirama tried opening the book, only to grin as the cover lifted, "It's about time, I've been waiting to read this thing for awhile now." he said.

"Well, can you at least tell us what this book is called?" the Fourth Raikage asked.

Hashirama gave a sheepish chuckle, "Oops, my bad." he said as he looked to the title, "The title is called, Redemption of the Dragon King, It certainly holds a interesting air to it with a title like that." he said.

"Indeed. Now if you could start reading Elder Brother." Tobirama coached.

"Alright then, Chapter 1"

High in the sky Acnologia the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse

"Well, a name like that can't be good. It must be the main villain of the story." Tobirama said.

Tsunade shrugged, "I can't say. Never even heard of a dragon outside of a jutsu."

"Hmm, yes that is true. I guess we'll just have to see hat happens." the Second said.

soared through the heavens. He had finally managed to sniff out that bastards scent after nearly a century where Zeref escaped his clutches. He would finally get his revenge on the Black Wizard who haunted his sleep for centuries. Acnologia is mastodonic, and has an entire upper body covered in black, round, scales, which, in turn, are decorated by spiraling, blue markings. His lower body, specifically his chin, chest, stomach, inner tail, thighs, and arms, are gray in color, and appear to be rather smooth. Acnologia's eyes are white and beady, and his head is round and blunt with four, large, elongated plates extending backward. Acnologia's mouth is full of razor-sharp teeth, and, attached to his chin, is a protrusion that resembles an arrowhead. His large wings are feathery in appearance, akin to a bird's. The scales disappear at the end of Acnologia's tail, which, in itself, ends in a stinger-esque shape.

"Well, he sure looks menacing. Can't imagine what it took for him to be called the Apocalypse Dragon." Jiraiya muttered.

Hashirama looks to a small note on the side of the book and felt his eyes widen, "You might want to hear this. Says here, Acnologia earned the moniker by slaughtering the entire dragon species as well as destroyed countless civilizations. All on his own. He is immune to any form of attack and he has been dubbed, King of the Dragon's due to his immense strength and unequaled power." he said.

"What, his entire species?" Ino Yamanaka cried out in horror.

"That monster!" Sakura Haruno said in equal amounts of horror. Of course this was voiced in agreement by the other ninja ho had heard the First's deceleration before he continued to read.

With a growl he begun his extremely slow descent to the island below him.

On the island below, a young girl named Wendy plopped down onto her seat with a sigh of relief, fighting against such a powerful foe as Hades was extremely draining on ones power. The sound of a deep guttural growl that went across the sky made her shiver for a second as it felt like a set of claws latched onto her soul. Why did that sound so familiar to her? Meanwhile Makarov was sitting down on a small hill on his own, shivered at the sound of the growling noise.

He sighed "That sure was an ungodly sound..." he mumbled, not knowing what was bound to happen in the next half of an hour's time from now. He crossed his arms in thought "Just what could it be?" he questioned himself.

"It's best you don't know and get the hell out of there." one Kiba Inuzuka said.

"I agree, you can't go against such an adversary." Naruto's mother named Kushina cried out.

"Just run while you can." Kakashi sighed out.

The sound of footsteps drew his attention causing the elder to turn and see Erza walk up to him where she bowed. Erza is a stunning beauty with red hair and brown eyes. She currently wears a dazzling blue dress with her long red hair tied up into a ponytail,

"M-Minato..." Kushina gasped out.

The blonde nodded in agreement, "I see it." he said. And how could he not, she looked almost like a clone of Kushina did at the age this young woman looked. The only difference as she had brown eyes rather than purple or blue.

Jiraiya gave to thumbs up, "And we have a winner!" he exclaimed loudly.

"Pervert!" Tsunade yelled as she punched the self proclaimed Super Pervert into a wall.

"Master the ship is almost ready to depart, all we are waiting is for your word to depart from here." she stated honestly to the elderly wizard. She then hung her head "Also, regarding what Laxus has done I was wondering if you would allow him to return to the guild."she stated once more.

Makarov gave a "Hmph" at that one, like hell he would do something like that. Laxus had desecrated the First's precious motto of family and friendship so hell to the no. He turned away from the lovely redhead "I'm sorry my girl, but I have nothing to discuss with or about that wayward grandson of mine. Especially after everything he has pulled." he told the redhead. It wasn't that he didn't love Laxus, far from it, it was just that he hadn't earned the proper redemption as of yet. He crossed his arms again "I will say this though, he's got quite the pair to do what he has, stepping on Fairy Tail's holy ground while not having the emblem on him." he stated.

Erza took a step "But Master, think about what he has done for us last night. Surely that would be more than enough to let him return." she said to the elder wizard again.

Makarov shook his head "Unfortunately it doesn't. It still won't change my mind Erza. I know of his battle against Hades, saving all of ya'll from a death battle you couldn't win. He has my gratitude for that I will admit, but in the end he will not be back in the guild until I expressly allow it to happen." he told her.

"He almost reminds me of Sensei." Tsunade said.

"Nice and fun, but stern if the opportunity happens to present itself?" Jiraiya asked and got a nod, "Yep that's the old man alright."

Erza sighed in disappointment "So, your thought and position is firm is it?" she questioned.

However the surprise answer came from Laxus himself "Of course it is, it's how the guild has stayed strong for nearly a century after all. One simply can't buy their way back into the guild with a single heroic deed for those who are apart of the guild after all." the blonde stated drawing Erza's attention. "I was only doing what any passerby would do in that type of situation. I know that I haven't earned the right to wear the emblem once more though." he said with a sigh. He then looked to his grandfather "Hey geezer." he stated drawing Makarov's attention, and even with the stern look on his face Laxus couldn't help it and smile "Oh yeah, that's the look... What a classic, and it might be the last time I see it too." he stated.

"Aw, poor guy." Sakura said softly.

"He's kinda cute. Almost reminds me of a extremely muscular Naruto." Ino said.

"Please, Naruto is more muscular than what you think blondie." Kurotsuchi smirked, "And so much better in the sack too." she told herself though many heard her.

"I did not need to hear that." Minato said.

"Ooh, details please?" Jiraiya asked as he opened his notebook. He always had time to do some research for his books.

"NEVER!" the woman yelled as she kicked him in the nuts causing him to collapse to the ground in pain.

He started to walk away, with Erza asking him to stop, however a louder growl caused him to stop as his eyes widened in shock. What was that? It was so unnerving it wasn't even funny right now... Some water holes were being affected by the phenomena as well as the water lightly rippled at the effects of Acnologia drawing near with each passing moment.

Gildarts was holding his newfound child gently when he heard it and stiffened at the sound, immediately knowing what it was that caused him such fear. Looking up he gave a whisper "Oh no... this couldn't be happening..." he stated quietly.

Cana looked up to her father "W-What's wrong? Is something the matter?" she questioned.

Still looking around he answered "Oh by the gods I hope not." he stated.

"Pray a different prayer big guy." Gaara said.

"I'd pray for a miracle actually." the old fence sitter said with crossed arms.

Meanwhile where the others had gathered to relax before returning to the mainland Lucy placed a hand on a tree "What was that? It sure was off for some reason..." she said.

Natsu nodded in agreement at that one "And it smells off for sure. It also has this familiar yet strange odor to it." he stated in agreement.

Happy perked up "While we're at it, I'm reminded of something." the cat said before pulling out a fish "Here Lucy maybe this'll settle your tummy." he stated.

Lucy glared at the cat, "That's not funny Happy." she told him.

"At least somebody has a sense of humor. Kinda reminds me of Naruto during the academy." Kiba smirked.

"Remember that one time he super glued Iruka-Sensei to his seat and gave him a soda laced with laxatives?" Shino spoke up causing many people to burst into laughter.

"Or that one time he somehow managed to tie everyone's feet together without anybody noticing?" Sakura laughed out.

"Ah good times." Kushina told herself.

Many people realized just where he got his prankster side from.

As she said this another growl shook the sky causing Gajeel to groan "Will somebody please stuff that blonde's stomach I'm starting to get a headache here." he stated.

Lisanna perked up "Well Edo Lucy had a appetite, but I don't think that appeals to our Lucy." she stated.

Levy was annoyed at her not so secret boyfriend "Ignore him Lisanna he's being his usual ass of himself." she stated in annoyance while Gajeel looked at her and blew a kiss with a chuckle.

Mirajane, as usual, spoke up "I sure hope we have enough food to feed that hungry beast she calls a stomach." she said.

"WHOO!" Jiraiya cheered, "Another busty beauty to be used in my next story!" he exclaimed as he begun to write down her measurements and looks.

"I swear you need to find a new hobby Jiraiya-sensei." Minato said.

"And miss the opportunity to provide such lovely literature to the world, are you out of your mind? How do you think my first book sold so well, I had to get inspiration from somewhere. And luckily my prized student as nice enough to provide me the necessary research!" he declared causing many to stop.

"Which one?" Hiruzen asked, "Because I remember Naruto coming home with the usual grin that comes from a man getting laid on that one mission to Nami no Kuni."

"WHAT?!~" Sakura screeched, "Naruto had sex in wave, but that is impossible, the only female we know from that place is... Oh shit, that idiot screwed Tsunami." she muttered to herself.

"Did she have a kid?" Kushina asked.

"I recall her sending a message saying something about twins, but I can't really recall." Hiruzen said.

"Yay, grandbabies!" she cried happily.

Lucy blushed in embarrassment "It's not me guys, honest." she wailed out.

Gajeel almost fell out of his chair at that "Geez, don't you know a joke when you hear it woman?" he questioned her.

Gray crossed his arms "All jokes aside, what the hell was that noise we just heard anyways?" he asked as he looked around. However he failed to notice that something was off, even Bickslow had noticed it and was currently pointing it out to Freed which caused the two men to go wide eyed at the sight. The sound of deep inhaling drew his attention causing him to look around some more "Ok seriously it sounds like a animal going into heat, come on what the hell..." he stated.

Freed cleared his throat "That would be because of your unique type of chair you sit on..." he stated.

Gray looked to him with a confused look "My chair?" he asked where he got a nod and looked down "What's wrong with it? Is it squeaking or-WHAT THE HELL!" he exclaimed jumping up in shock.

Juvia wiggled her romp at her love interest "I failed to protect you so acting as your chair while being spanked should be punishment enough." Juvia told the Ice Make wizard as she continued to do so.

"Oh ho, a lovely young maiden into her S&M, it's beautiful!" Jiraiya said excitedly.

"Pervert!" many women cried out, but it was Tsunade who kicked him away.

Gray grew agitated "I smacked you because you were being reckless woman, how many times do I gotta say that?" he questioned her.

Mirajane ignored the bickering duo and set a glass of water on the table beside Wendy "Well aside from that, is anyone else thirsty?" she asked, "I hope you don't get to hot now Wendy, I mean I know you've gotten stronger, but you need your energy." she stated.

Wendy smiled "Thanks, but I'll be fine Mira." she stated honestly. However she failed to notice that her necklace begun to glow a very very dull red color. She gave a smile "Besides your hurt, why don't you get some rest." she stated, however Elfman had to add his two cents to this.

With a grin on his face he held a thumb up "That's how you do it, just like a real man." he said. After this happened Evergreen smacked the fan she carried on her on his head hard, "Oh please tell me you didn't just do that bitch." he said to the woman.

"Uh, rude much?" Sakura glared.

Hashirama snickered, "It get's better." he told her.

Ever growled "You're damn right I did, and if I hear you say real man one more time, I'm gonna turn you into stone forever." she raged as she whacked him again and again.

Elfman was croaking out cries of pain as the brown haired woman continued to do this "What's it matter to you, bitch?" he questioned the Fairy Woman.

Evergreen saw red and whacked him harder "It's driving me insane asshole." she roared at him. A louder growl soared across the air causing Wendy's water to move around in the glass drawing her attention, as well as the glow underneath her shirt from her necklace.

"Why do you care?" Elfman demanded.

Mirajane smiled "I don't think the two of you should be fighting, especially with it being so close to the wedding." she said.

This caused them to stop and look at her, "That was a lie Mira!" the exclaimed with red faces to match their embarrassment.

"Pfft, I can see why you said that Lord First." Ino snickered.

"They really are a perfect match." Sakura snickered.

"Oh gosh, it's Lee's muscular clone." Kiba sighed out.

"HEY LEE, WE FOUND YOUR BROTHER!" Neji said loudly. He was only being silent so he could listen to the story.

"YOUTH!" was the response.

"You just had to get them started didn't you?" Sakura glared at the Hyuuga who shrugged.

By now Acnologia was close enough to see the island, however he was enraged at what he felt. That bastard had fled him once again, and with a mighty roar that caused all of the members of Fairy Tail to cover their ears he descended towards the island, still slowly but not as slow as he was going before.

"So, the devil makes his appearance." Tobirama scowls.

"Well, let's see what happens next." Hiruzen sighed out as he lit his missing pipe.

"I hope these guys teach that overgrown lizard a lesson." Kushina said holding up her fist.

Evergreen covered her ears to the best of her ability, but the roar was so loud and powerful "W-What is that sound?" she questioned.

Elfman, who was mimicking the woman groaned in pain from nearly going deaf "Whatever it is, it sure is manly." he stated as the roar faded away.

By now Wendy had taken notice of her necklace, and was doing her best to hide it, looked around for the source "I don't believe it. That was the sound of a dragon's roar." she stated unsure of how or what was going on at the moment.

Lisanna stood up and looked at the little girl "A dragon, are you sure that was what that was?" she questioned.

Pantherlily nodded in agreement "Yeah, are you sure it wasn't the sound of thunder just now?" he questioned scared. He received the answer as Acnologia gave off another roar. By now everybody was alert and were trying to gather up to leave before they met this dragon.

"Well you better get your asses into gear before it gets any lower!" Kurotsuchi said.

"Run while you still can." Tenten pleaded with the story.

Lucy, Natsu, Gildarts, Cana, Happy were running to the camp in hopes of fleeing the island "Hey is everybody ok?" she asked them.

Gray nodded his head "Yeah, did you guys hear that sound. It was unreal." he stated.

Gildarts stumbled causing a few of them to walk over to him, "What's the matter?" Cana asked him.

Gildarts glared at the sky "My wounds are starting to burn... there's no doubt in my mind now. He's here, that dragon is coming to the island." he stated.

Everybody was looking to the sky to see if they could spot the mystery dragon, but it was Pantherlily that spotted it first "Look up in the sky, something's coming this way!" he exclaimed causing them to look up. Natsu looked in the direction the cat was pointing and felt his heart begin to race at the sight he saw.

"Shit." many of the ninja uttered together.

"Well they're dead." the Raikage said.

"Not yet they aren't." Mei stated.

Happy flew over to him "Natsu, what's the matter?" however when he looked in the direction Natsu was he gave a cry of fright at what he saw.

Gray felt his eyes widen in shock "HOLY CRAP!" he exclaimed in shock. Acnologia curled his claws and gave a roar that split the heavens while spraying a large amount of saliva from his powerful maw.

Elfman was openly gawking at the sight of the dragon "That thing's frigging huge." he said taking a step back. Acnologia released another roar at them as he come down lower making them cover their ears once again.

"My god it is a dragon!" Bickslow gasped in astonishment.

Lucy was in awe... So Natsu was telling the truth about dragon's being real "I don't believe it." she said as a harsh wind blew.

Gajeel scowled "You've got to be kidding me..." he told himself.

"I don't think this dragon's a friendly one guys." Wendy said scared as she looked at Acnologia.

"You're right about that sweety." Sakura said.

"I'd still be running since it's still coming down. No shame in crying at the sight as if it's a clown." Bee rapped causing many to groan at his bad raps.

Natsu was scowling hard as he looked at Acnologia "I knew it... so I was right all along. They still exist." he stated.

"I am afraid that it's Acnologia, the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse. You all need to get out of here while you still can." Makarov said as he stepped up to fight.

"How does the short guy know the dragon?" Konohamaru asked.

"It's a dragon who has a bad rep, I'm sure many know about it." Udon said.

Lucy looked to the elder "That sounds bad..." she said with a gulp of fear.

Gildarts growled "Yeah, that's him alright..." he stated queasy at the thought of having to fight the dragon again.

"What can we do against something with a name like that?" Lucy asked.

Instead of receiving an answer Natsu's voice called out to the dark creature "Oi dragon tell me something. Where's Igneel at? Tell me Grandeeney and Metalicana as well?" he asked the dragon.

Gildarts rounded on the teen, "Listen kid I know you wanna find your father but you need to listen to me. You can't reason with chaos. The best thing that we can do right now is try and survive the dragon's wrath if he attacks us. Don't you remember how I lost my arm as well as my leg. Hell I'm lucky I didn't lose my life that day." he told the teen.

"This guy fought that thing, he must be incredibly strong to have survived the fight let alone walked away only losing a couple limbs." Tobirama said.

"It says he also lost a organ, but it doesn't say which one it was." Hashirama chimed in.

"Lucky man. Only makes you wonder how many have challenged the dragon and fell." Tsunade said.

Natsu stopped speaking as he looked back to the time Gildarts had told him of his life threatening encounter and narrowed his eyes in anger. Freed felt his heart skip a beat when he realized something was off, it was getting bigger and bigger by the moment "It's coming down." he yelled out as Acnologia roared once more as he came closer to the island.

Happy hid behind Natsu as he shivered in fright "I don't think that this dragon is like the ones that raised Natsu and Wendy. If anything this one seems evil." Happy yelped out. A loud thump and the ground shaking was the signal that Acnologia had landed. As the dragon did so a large gust of wind kicked up the air forcing everybody to cover their eyes.

Gildarts gave a growl "You got that right. This is the most evil, vile being in the entire world bar Zeref the Black Wizard himself." he told the cat.

"Isn't that the guy that he's after?" Kakashi asked.

"Yeah, I assume something happened and made him hate this Zeref." Minato said.

"Black Dragon of Apocalypse, Black Wizard. Anybody else seeing a pattern here?" Kushina asked ang got murmurs of agreement. To much black.

Natsu looked to the man "So how are we gonna fight this thing?" he questioned Gildarts.

The orange haired man shook his head "There is no fighting this thing Natsu. This is about whether or not we can survive it. Hell I don't even think some of us will be lucky enough to do even that right now." he stated honestly.

Natsu felt his eyes widen "Are you trying to tell me that somebody's going to die?" he asked him.

"Yes, that's exactly what he's saying dude." Kiba said.

"Don't act so smart Kiba." Sakura sighed out.

At the time Natsu asked his question Acnologia gave a roar and slammed a hand down on the ground shaking it again. He wanted Zeref, but instead he found a petty guild to fight. This was pathetic. As Acnologia did so Gildarts felt his eyes widen before he shouted "Come on get to the ship, now!" with a wave of his only hand. However everyone stopped as they watched the dragon take a deep breath. They didn't even breath as they watched it inhale. However their baited breaths weren't to last as Acnologia gave off a roar so powerful the wind begun to literally rip the earth apart. Entire lakes were blasted away, as well as half of the islands own forest. The blast was so strong one of the cliff sides actually collapsed to the earth.

"Jeez this thing doesn't do things halfway." Tsunade said with mild shock.

"And that's just a regular roar. Not a drop of his power was used in that." Tobirama observed.

"To do so much damage with what amounts to a yell, it's nothing short of terrifying." Onoki aid.

"I remember the Nine Tails was capable of something similar with it's own roar, but not a scale like that." Hashirama said before continuing.

As the dust settled and Acnologia calmed himself down, Natsu sat up from being thrown away; but what he saw was something he wished he hadn't, "N-No way... There's now way, the entire forest has completely disappeared." he stated in shock.

Levy was cowering behind her guild-mate shivering in terror, "How could such a creature be so destructive?" she asked.

Cana was shivering in fear "It wiped out the trees... with just a roar... how powerful is that thing?" she questioned in fright.

Gildarts gave a grunt "Not just powerful, he's evil too. Tch he's admiring his work." he stated as he noticed Acnologia steadily flying above their heads with a smirk on his face. While the dragon wouldn't admit it, he was kinda enjoying himself as he showed them what true terror felt like. Rolling his neck he stood up "That just now was his way of getting warmed up with a greeting mixed in there." he stated as he turned around, "Listen up, if you want to survive then stop wasting your time with your freaking out. Pull yourselves together and let's leave this place together." he ordered them. As he said this Acnologia gave another earth shattering roar causing Gildarts to roar at the kids "Hurry, everyone get to the ship now. We're going back to Fairy Tail." he yelled out.

"It's about damn time. You guys are idiots for waiting for so long." A said angrily.

"I know, I assume this is the norm of these people?" Karui asked and got a shrug.

"Maybe they're like a drunk Sensei." Omoi said.

"Maybe." the redhead agreed with a shrug.

With that everybody begun to run, only Acnologia wouldn't allow it and flew down and blocked their escape route. Carla looked to her friend in fright "Wendy, you know how to communicate with a dragon. Can you talk to it for us?" she asked the dragon slayer.

Wendy looked to her partner in fright "Anyone can communicate with a dragon. They have an extremely high intellect after all, but this one didn't come here to talk with us." she replied as Acnologia gave another roar frightening his daughter in the process. Acnologia slammed his hand on the ground on either side of Freed and Bickslow causing them to stop and turn in fright. Acnologia grinned and slammed his jaw into the ground.

Evergreen gave a yell of fright for her friends "Freed! Bickslow, no!" she yelled out worriedly.

Wendy looked worried as Gray gave an exclamation about being cut off from the ship "Why us, why here? Answer me?" she demanded the dragon.

Meanwhile Zeref watched with a small frown, "Predators don't talk with their prey. Same as an exterminator with pests. One simply does not communicate with a lesser species on a weaker level such as a human does with a dragon. I will admit it was nice to see the creature I helped create after so many years, but I digress. I will not allow it to catch up to me." he told himself.

"So he knows why Acnologia is there. I don't see why he flee's from the beast." Hiruzen said, "This is confusing even for me."

"Maybe he knows it'll kill him if he allows for it to catch up." Minato said getting a shrug from the Third Hokage.

Acnologia slammed his hand down next to Laxus. forcing the man to jump away. As he did this he slammed his other hand down next to Gray, also forcing him to jump away as he did so. Raising his tail he swiped it across the ground ripping the tree's from the ground and sends Elfman flying. Evergreen seeing this jumped up to catch him. Looking to her he smiles brightly, only to gasp in shock as Acnologia swats them down to the ground painfully. "Mankind will soon learn just exactly who stands at the top of the food chain, and it will ensure they open their eyes." Zeref said.

On the island Levy was openly crying at the sight of the blocked path before them, "Oh no, we're trapped. What'll we do?" she begged.

Natsu gave a yell as he charged forward and came to a stop as the dragon slammed its tail down into the ground which threw the dragon slayer off his feet away from him. Natsu sat up with a fury in his eyes, "Asshole!" he cried out. However as he said this he felt his eyes widen at the sight of the old man ripping his shirt off and prepared to fight the dragon, "Jii-chan!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Old man's about throw down, it's sure to be a smack down." Killer Bee rapped.

"Hey, I almost understood you that time, maybe you could learn to speak like a normal person after all." Kushina snickered.

"She's colder than ice, cuz that's certainly not nice." Bee grumbled.

"Get to the ship!" the old man ordered as his body glowed with golden energy as well as increase in size until he stood as tall as Acnologia here he as able to wrap his arms around the demonic dragon's neck where he begun to struggle to hold it back.

"Your crazy, you can't fight that thing alone!" Gray exclaimed in shock.

"Master, please don't play the hero!" Erza cried out, "The guild needs you to stay alive!"

"Get out of here!" Makarov ordered loudly.

Freed groaned as he looked up to the old man, "I will fight by Master's side!" he declared boldly.

"NO LIZARD'S GONNA TEAR THIS GUILD APART!" Bickslow yelled out loudly.

"I will stay with you til the bitter end!" Evergreen stated.

"While it is admirable to want to stay and fight, I don't think you should ignore such a request." Mei stated.

"It's like the old man said, this dragon holds the title 'Dragon of the Apocalypse' so I think you'd best skedaddle while you can." Kurotsuchi said.

"This isn't a enemy you can beat." Ino whimpered.

One by one each of Makarov's beloved family members declared their intention before Makarov couldn't stomach any more, "WILL YOU BRATS JUST SHUT UP AND HONOR YOUR MASTER'S FINAL WISH, GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" he commanded loudly.

"Final wish." Mira said with tears in her eyes.

That was until Natsu cried out, "I am a dragon slayer wizard, this was what I was born to do so let me-ack" Natsu gagged as he was grabbed by the scarf around his neck and dragged away by none other than Laxus.

"Not today kid." he said as he walked away.

"Laxus, let me-he stopped as he saw the tears falling from his former guild-mates eyes and he allowed him to drag him off.

Erza hated herself for what she was about to do but consented in the end, "Best of luck." she told the old man before she ran off, "Now let's run!" she cried out as the rest of her friends followed.

Makarov felt satisfied, "What good children...it may be hard for you, but this is for the best. It's times like these that teach you an important lesson for your futures. Like knowing that tears are wasteful things, nothing to trouble over. Is death caused by sadness, or is sadness caused by death? The answers are in your hearts. My dear children, you must learn, and grow, and live!" he declared to himself in thought as he continued to hold the dragon menace back still.

"That kinda reminds me of something my father would say." Kushina said in nostalgia.

"Oh yeah, I forgot the Uzumaki's prided their love for family more than anything." Onoki muttered to himself.

"Well, I can't say it's not sweet." Ino said.

He groaned as Acnologia begun to push him back, "You foul creature!" he declared as Acnologia smashed his tail down into the ground, "I don't know what you're goal is here. But I'm not letting you get any further."

"I WON'T LET YOU HARM MY CHILDREN!"

Acnologia had a mad gleam in his eyes as he stood up onto his hind legs and begun to physically push the giant human back as he held Acnologia by his shoulders in an attempt to hold him off for just a little longer. Makarov a loud bellow as he stumbled and fell onto his back which in turn caused Acnologia to release his almighty roar as he slammed his hand down onto the giant and pinned it to the ground.

"Ouch, that had to hurt" Kiba winced.

"So he was playing with them." Sakura said.

"If you heard what Lord First said then you obviously would have realized that sooner." Tsunade said with a scowl.

"Chill Tsunade. No need to blow a gasket." Jiraiya said.

However, rather than simply submit with fear in his eyes, Makarov smiled as he begun to laugh to himself, "This is what a father does for his family. I have no regrets, I can die a happy man." he told himself as he allowed his head to fall to the ground as he shut his eyes.

However, hat Makarov didn't expect was for Natsu to go running by which caused him to open his eyes in surprise as he watched Natsu dodge a tail swipe from the Black Dragon of Apocalypse before he jumped up onto the dragons tail before leaping onto it's arm, "We're not leaving without gramp's, you hear me?!" Natsu yelled out.

"Natsu!"

Acnologia released a loud roar as he picked his arm up off Makarov's body with a struggling Natsu holding onto his arm. With a single stroke, he smashed Makarov's gigantic body away where he crashed into the cliff in a cloud of smoke and dust forcing him to revert back to normal as he coughed in pain.

"So we can add 'Immense Strength' to the list of things he is capable of." Jiraiya said.

"To toss a giant the same size away with just a single blow, it shows just how powerful he he really is. This is not good." Kakashi said.

As he looked up he also noticed a familiar redhead standing in front of him and felt his eyes widen, "Erza, you too?" he asked in pain.

"I was down with the plan to evacuate." a voice said drawing Makarov's attention to Laxus, "I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who'd let the old guy take the fall." he said as he looked to his grandfather, "But not your guild." he said with a smile.

"Now attack!" Erza commanded the rest of her friends as she jumped forward with determination. The youngest generation of Fairy Tail were now battling against the Dragon King of Apocalypse, in order to protect their master, in order to protect their own, as a family. Bringing out everything that was left inside them, Fairy Tail team attacked Acnologia, bringing down wave after wave of magic on its gigantic body.

"You... damn stupid bunch of kids." Tears swelled up at the corners of Makarov's eyes, he couldn't believe it and he didn't know what to say...he just watched on while sobbing quietly.

Well, they say that the new generation always holds the old one on a pedestal, I think this suits it just fine." Onoki smiled.

"Damn right we do Old Man." Kurotsuchi said with a grin.

"Just don't go making me a great grandpa just yet, I'm not ready." Onoki whimpered.

Laxus gave a loud yell as he called upon all his power, "Alright you guy's, let's hit this overgrown lizard with everything we've got! If you let loose on him and I blast him with a million watts of lightning, he'll learn to never mess with Fairy Tail again!" he called out.

"Laxus!" the Thunder Legion said with grins.

"Laxus-san." Wendy said in awe of his power as Gajeel let out a chuckle.

On Acnologia's arm, Natsu heard the crackling electricity before he saw the glow of the lightning wizard, "Laxus?" he asked.

"You better get out of the way Natsu, cuz here it comes!" Laxus told him.

"Hold on just a second man." Natsu responded.

"No, do it now Laxus!" Erza cried out.

"I HAVEN'T MOVED YET!" Natsu cried out in panic.

"Bwahahaha, that's priceless, she's as ruthless as Kushina." Minato laughed.

"And what's wrong with that?" the redhead asked him.

Minato went stiff, "Absolutely nothing dear." he whimpered.

"Uh huh, you have the couch for a month." she said causing the man to sob silently.

However, Laxus knew that if they wanted to teach this monster a lesson he needed to act fast, and so he listened to Erza's call as he let a yell of, "RAGING BOLT" out as he hurled as much lightning out from his body as possible and allowed it to race towards the dragon. Soon after, all the other member's of Fairy Tail added their own form of magic into the attack until it was one large spiraling beam of magic energy as it raced towards Acnologia with high speeds. Natsu's friend Happy quickly used his on Magic to grab Natsu before he was obliterated by the attack that quickly enveloped Acnologia in a dome of power.

"So they use Magic here rather than Chakra, interesting. Tobirama said.

"It is a different reality, so things are bound to be different." Mei pointed out.

"That is also true" Tobirama said.

A little not too far away from the battle, a young girl, with long, wavy, yellow-blonde hair that reached down to her feet with a single lock pointing upwards; large green eyes that appeared to have no irises; peachy skin and a slight childlike build. She was wearing a frilly, pink layered robe with a red ribbon tied in a bow around her neck. Around the chest were three blue diamond patterns with two blue triangles above. Each series of these was outlined in a hot pink. She wore wing-like adornments around her ears and small hoop earrings and going barefoot.

She looked at them with a soft smile, yet her eyes were in the sad manner. The next generation of Fairy Tail fighting against the strongest Dragon, anyone who knew about the strength of the dragon King could see that Fairy Tail was fighting in vain, as their attacks did no damage to the black dragon. She closed her eyes and put her hands together, as if, in prayer.

"Ok, who the hell are you?" Kushina asked.

"It doesn't say, but she does come up later. I have no clue what that means." Hashirama said.

"It means she will come in the story later." Tsunade said.

Laxus felt his eyes widen in shock as the dragon remained unaffected by the multitude of attacks it had been hit with, "Seriously, we totally unloaded on this bastard and he's still smiling?" he asked himself before he called out, "Alright, let's see what you dragon slayer's can do!" he yelled out as the cats picked up their own partner and flew above Acnologia, "You hear me Natsu?!" bellowed out the muscular man.

"Let's show this overgrown lizard what Fairy Tail is really capable of!" Gajeel roared. "Right." the others agreed. They each drew back their heads and began to unleash unholy hell on the dragon "Tetsuryū no Hoko (Iron Dragon's Roar)" Gajeel called out.

"Tenryū no Hoko (Sky Dragon's Roar)" Wendy yelled out.

"Karyū no Hoko (Fire Dragon's Roar)" Natsu roared.

"Oh, that is a good strategy, use your greatest weapons in unison, very nice." Tobirama complimented.

"Tobirama, they are human beings, they are not weapons." Hashirama scolded his brother.

"That's not what I meant and you know it." the younger Senju retorted.

"Uh huh, sure." was the response.

The attacks all combine and explodes. It not only pushed the dragon back in a storm of elemental magic it sent the dark dragon crashing into the waters in a large explosion of power. Landing on the ground the group of dragon slayers waited to see if they had any luck in bringing down the dark dragon.

"Did we get him, did it work?" Natsu asked.

"Of course not." Gildarts said as he spoke up.

"What do you mean?' Gray asked him.

"He's not even using half as much power as the time he fought me, he's playing with us." he told the Ice Wizard as the ground shuddered before it broke apart as Acnologia rose to the sky once again.

ROOOOOAAARRRR The black dragon roared loudly as he came up, knocking the members of Fairy Tail away as if they were mere flies. The Dragon Kings looked down on his quarry.

"UWAAH!" Natsu cried, falling on top of Lucy's back.

"Is everyone alright?" Erza asked loudly as she got up from the ground.

"None of our attacks are working at all" Elfman said through gritted teeth, his sister standing beside him, forced to deactivate her Satan Soul form.

"His power's unbelievable." Gajeel remarked.

"We gave it everything we had." Wendy cried, "Three dragons slayers all at the same time." she said, "Our whole guild went against him and it still wasn't enough." the girl whined out.

"Well, can't say they didn't try. It was a very good effort on their part, it just they weren't ready to face a enemy of this caliber." Hiruzen sighed.

"It could have been worse, he could have eaten one of them." Onoki said.

"That is also true." Hiruzen remarked.

"Well, aren't ya'll balls of sunshine and rainbows." Kurotsuchi remarked dully.

"This shouldn't happen. I'm supposed to be a freaking dragon slayer, so why couldn't I beat him?" Natsu growled out to himself.

"What do you think he'll do now?" Pantherlily asked.

"Maybe he'll decide to just go back home." Happy suggested in fear as he shivered at the dragon above them.

However, that prayer wasn't answered as Acnologia begun to inhale deeply.

"It's a breath attack!" Gajeel shouted when he saw energy began to swirl around Acnologia's mouth.

"Well, I guess it decided to stop playing around." Sakura said with wide eyes.

"It's only returning the favor. A good fight only deserves a courteous return." Mei said sighing.

"Damn this bastard is ruthless." Kiba scowled.

"What a dick." Kurotsuchi called out.

"Is it planning on blasting the whole island away?" Cana asked in shock.

"No way!"

"Seriously?"

"He's that strong?"

"Everyone who can use defensive magic put the power you've got into it, NOW!" Erza ordered, pointing back to her group.

"There's not enough time to draw the seals." Freed muttered.

"There's plenty of defensive magic that does not require writing symbol or seals." Levy said hurriedly, sweats pouring down her forehead. By now anyone could feel the vast amount of magic Acnologia was emitting, even from here.

"Everyone...focus all your magical energy on Freed and Levy." Lisanna shouted.

"Let's hold hands!" Mirajane Strauss said and offered her hands to the nearest person, her brother as he took it.

"Let me get this right. You're all about to be blown up, and you want to hold hands? What is wrong with you?" Jiraiya asked the pretty girl.

"It makes sense, it's almost like the Chakra Transfer technique. If they're able to erect a barrier strong enough in time they may just survive it." Hiruzen commented.

"Smart move girl." Tsunade said.

"Hurry!" Ino cried out.

"We can't let it end here!" Natsu cried and grabbed Lucy's hand, his other hand quickly took Erza's hands into his.

"Okay! We'll never give up!" Lucy shouted, as tears flowing from her eyes.

"Everyone, join your power together as one!" Gray also joined in, holding Juvia and Lucy's hands as Fairy Tail stood in a circle.

Laxus turned to his grandfather and offered him his hand, smiling softly to the tiny old man whose body was shaking, looking at his children in absolute shock. Then, gently he put his hand in Laxus much bigger hands, a smile made it to his face. "We'll all go home together." He said.

Fairy Tail stood in a circle as magical energy flared up around them.

"TO FAIRY TAIL!" They cried out all at once, looking up at Acnologia who then unleashed his breath in a gigantic blast.

The whole sky lifted up as the massive attack of apocalypse approached them, the whole Tenrou Island shook violently at the amount of magic released by the black dragon. As if declaring that it was the end of a era, the sky shined like a second sun had been birthed into existence with Acnologia's powerful attack. The powerful explosion shook both the skies above and the entire sea around. Its shockwave knocked the boat of the spectators back with large and strong wave. When the light of his attack died down, all that remained was a large crater where the island used to sit, where water from the ocean quickly begun to fill it.

"Well shit, that didn't work as I had hoped." Hiruzen said.

"What gave you that idea, the crater in the middle of the freaking ocean?" Tsunade said.

"That's the end of the chapter." Hashirama sighed "Who'll read next?" he asked.

"Hand the book to me Elder Brother, I will read it next." Tobirama offered as he took it from Hashirama.

And so that is chapter 1 of Shinobi Alliance Reading: RDK. I know I said I wouldn't post anything until after new years, but this is my Christmas gift to all of you. And yes, I know it's not exactly what Medrick1317 wrote as his first chapter, but I felt it could be better if the reading audience could understand just how powerful Naruto/Acnologia could be before the reveal. Makes it all the more shocking when the reveal happens next chapter.
