Too Close for Comfort 2

"I can't say, Chairman. He is a talented young man, I don't doubt that. But if he fell under this Amon's influence, it will be disastrous"

"Yes, Chairman. I have seen his recent jobs and he did all of them in record time and showed the destructive tendencies of any Fairy Tail mage. If he were to fall, I don't want to think about the consequences" supported Org. Even though he didn't like the young man because of his Guild, he must admit Naruto's potential.

"Isn't he ordered to present himself before the Council?" Asked Belno.

"Yes, Councilwoman Belno. He was ordered to appear, but he was not present at Fairy Tail Guildhall when we went and Master Makarov ordered every member to inform Mr Naruto of this" said the assistant.

"So he either doesn't know or doesn't care to come in front of us" concluded Belno.

"Now, now, this is not the situation to discuss those things, Belno," said Yajima, trying to divert the Council's attention.

"Yes, no matter. We'll question him when he comes here" said the Chairman and Yajima sighed.

"Captain Cloe, your job is to go to Malta Town and warn Mr Naruto of the danger. If he is already engaged in battle, observe him from a distance and study his magic. We don't want you to get involved in it if it is dangerous" said the Chairman with authority.

"Understood, Sir" replied Cloe and with a salute, he started his journey to Malta town with his men.

Flashback End

Present

Cloe, with his men, walked up to the area they heard the shout from. What they saw terrified most of them. Cloe knew the situation at hand and what it entails.

'This is it. He is the one I'm here for' thought Cloe. As they moved closer, they saw 3 figures. One of them is a Human with blonde hair, cerulean blue eyes and 3 whiskers, that is Naruto Uzumaki, the youngest S-class mage.

Opposite to him was 2 figures. One can be easily understood as an Undead skeleton while the other is a scrawny little thing with large eyes.

Cloe knew that description. 'Shit. He is Amon, the destroyer,' thought Cloe. Though he was tense, his men were calm as they didn't know the type of situation they were in. They didn't even question him why he shouted when he saw the scorched earth before they came here. That is the amount of trust they put in him and he is not going to disappoint them.

Though he is strong, he didn't consider himself strong enough to do an S-class mage's job and so waited. Cloe took a deep breath and started thinking calmly again.

'No need to worry, Mr Naruto is here and I'm sure he'll help us. I have 2500 soldiers at my disposal. I can do it' he motivated himself. Then reality hit him.

'But the point is, how should I contact him? Wait a minute, why does he look like he was frozen?' Thought Cloe, his thoughts running a mile a second. Then he heard it.

"Did your spell work, Amon?" asked the larger one of the two.

"Yes, Master Lock. He is my puppet now. Tetetetete" laughed Amon.

"Good. Now for the trash that dares to step in our business" said the one named Lock and turned to Cloe and his group.

Scene Break

Fairy Tail Guild Hall, Magnolia

Natsu and Happy returned to Fairy Tail without much trouble with large smiles on their faces, mainly in the case of Happy.

"Why are you so happy, Happy?" Asked Lisanna.

"Aye, I got fishies, lots of fishies from Sirius," said Happy with a dreamy face.

"Did you meet Sirius?" Asked Cana.

"Huh, Ya. We met them in Peace village" said Natsu with a toothy smile and just like that, most of the Guild's attention was shifted to Natsu and Happy.

"Did you meet Naruto then?" Asked Gray slowly.

"Yup. We met and Naruto promised me a fight when he comes back" said Natsu with a victorious smile to Gray.

"Ya, Ya. Did you tell him?" Asked Gray.

"Hn. Yup. I told him what happened here and how I managed to go on a job and he got impressed and promised me to fight" boasted Natsu.

"Okay, where is it in what you told-"

"Watch it, stripper. He promised me" shouted Natsu, completely misunderstanding Gray.

"What?" Asked Gray and they started to shout at each other and fire and ice started leaking from their bodies.

"Stop it, you guys. Natsu, Did you forget to tell Naruto something? Like about the Council?" Asked Lisanna.

"Huh, no" replied Natsu flatly and went back to fight back Gray. All the members fell on the ground dramatically at Natsu's disregard for things.

"Natsu, why didn't you tell him about the Council? You know, it is important" said Levi, trying to pull Natsu out of the mess he created for himself.

"Hmm, I forgot," said Natsu plainly.

"Aye, Sir," said Happy in agreement.

"Catch him"

"We should teach him a lesson"

"He forgot such an important detail"

"Beat him"

"Natsu, your fire brain, you would always put us in trouble"

Natsu heard shouts like this and got confused.
