"Twister," he said touching the Magic Ring he was wearing. Summoning forth his green Magic Seal. A powerful storm formed around him and with a twist of his hands, everything was ripped off and thrown in all directions, including Bubble.
"10,000 Kilo Press- Stability," Bubble said increasing her body weight and stood still with her parasol in the twister and after everything was settled, smoothly landed.
"So that's it, huh. You increase and decrease your body weight as per need. I'm a fool to think you can control gravity." Loke said with a satisfied smirk.
"What difference does it make, darling? You are dead meat anyway. I'll take revenge in blood. It's been long since someone showed me my blood!" She exclaimed and both of them readied for round two.
While this was going on, a figure can be seen recording everything going on with a spy lacrima. Ultear was happy with what she was seeing.
As per orders of Master Hades, she employed some mercenaries to act as distractions while she spies and captures everything Erza and this new guy do for analysis.
From what she can observe, Erza improved a lot and her mastery over her swords and armour has gone up. As for this new candidate, Loke, he is amusing as well.
His magic is not great at all. Just some Ring magic and Chain magic. She knew he wouldn't be much of a threat to them. But knowing your enemy's strengths is always a plus.
'Yes, yes. Show me what you got. I want to see more!' Ultear cheered as destruction reigned in the area.
Next Day, Fairy Tail Guildhall
As usual, Naruto banged the door open, gaining the attention of the whole guild without much difficulty. They all greeted the blonde with cheery smiles and warm welcomes.
"Hi."
"Hello."
"How did your job go?"
"I'm great."
"How are you doing?"
Naruto replied as he walked towards the drinking master who was eyeing the girl beside him with a broad smile.
"It's great to have such a beautiful young lady here. What can I do for you?" Makarov asked with flushed cheeks and a hick-up which made Naruto sigh and Kagura glare at the drunk old man.
"Is this the old man you want me to see?" Kagura asked with raised eyebrows.
"Now, now. It's not the way to talk about the elderly. Tell me, what can I do for you?" Makarov asked with a cough as if anything didn't happen.
"Well-"
"I think we should take this to your office?" Naruto suggested as destruction reigned supreme in the once calm guild hall as Natsu and Gray started to greet others in style.
"I'm afraid we should." Makarov sighed and led them to his office while Sirius encouraged a stool throwing Happy to take revenge with his improved strength.
Makarov's Office
As they moved into Makarov's office to talk in private, Naruto stood at the door, leaning against the frame while Kagura sat in front of Makarov.
"I'm sorry that I didn't introduce myself. My name is Makarov, Makarov Dreyar." He introduced and Kagura introduced herself respectfully.
"What brought you to Fairy Tail?" Makarov asked seriously. All his drunk demeanour was gone, replaced with a stern look and sharp eyes.
"While on the S-class job, I found her fighting someone for that sword. It's called-"
"Archenemy. It's Archenemy, sir." Kagura interrupted and Naruto let her continue. Makarov listened to her story with rapt attention while Naruto closely observed, filling in the minor details if Kagura forgot any.
"So you want to find your brother?" Makarov asked and Kagura nodded.
"I don't want you to go around alone with Archenemy, Kagura. I know you want to reunite with him more than anything. But think, it's not safe for you to go alone." Makarov reasoned.
"What do you suggest? Leave him be and let him suffer?" She asked angrily.
"I'm not suggesting that dear. Give me some time. I'll try to find anything about him." Makarov said softly.
"Some time means how much?" She asked sharply.
"A few months. I need to go through all the events and find him, right?"
"Fine. But I'm not going to join your guild, irrespective of whatever you may say." She said with finality and Makarov nodded.
"That's agreeable. Naruto, take care of her till then." Makarov said and Naruto nodded.
'At least she agreed to stay for a few months now. Let's train then!' Naruto thought in relief. If Kagura remained stubborn, he had to resort to using force and he didn't like the idea.
'I'm leaving her in your hands, Naruto. I promise I'll try my best to find her brother. Take care of her, child.' Makarov said telepathically and Naruto gave Makarov a subtle nod.
"MASTER!" They heard Cana shout from the hallway and rushed to see what happened.
"What happened, Cana? Is something wrong?" Makarov asked, concerned.
"I'm sorry, Naruto. I, I can't protect him. T-they played dirty and he was injured." Erza said as she went unconscious.
Before anyone could do anything, he jumped in and started using his healing chakra and healed Loke first as he seemed more injured than Erza.
He sent his healing chakra and removed all the burnt skin and stitched all the wounds and healed his small injuries with less effort.
Naruto observed how Loke's bones and muscles seemed to have strained as if forced to contract by some pressure. His chakra healed all of them easily. But he had to force more chakra than usual.
After he was satisfied with Loke's state, he went to Erza. She was less injured compared to Loke. The Celestial spirit took more than he could handle while Erza's armour saved her from some nasty attacks.
Knowing they were out of danger and are stable, Naruto left the infirmary, giving them time to rest. He told everyone the good news and all were relieved to hear it.
