FairyTail-x-Naruto: The Last Uchiha (Adventure/FanFiction)

Chapter 2

Ep. 2: Gildarts Clive of Fairy Tail

Gildarts Clive has faced countless life-threatening situations, the kind of circumstances that only a man as powerful as him could survive. He faced a myriad of s-class mages; he fought every kind of monster you can imagine, and he completed hundreds of s-class quests, but, no matter who his opponent was, he always managed to overcome them and come out on top. But he never once faced such overwhelming odds. He never once faced a being as powerful and fearsome as The Black Dragon of the Apocalypse, Acnologia. And he would be the first to admit that he was worried and afraid for the entire world, not only because of the dragon but also because of the monstrous dark energy that disappeared as if it was never there in the first place. Whoever that monstrous energy belonged to should not be trifled with, just thinking about the amount of hatred that aura possessed was giving him the chills. Gildarts was beginning to think that even the terrifying dragon was afraid of the mysterious energy seeing as the dragon completely forgot about the fact that his chew toy was still standing. The beast even looked alert, like it was not longer in its element.

"Is that the best you got you overgrown lizard?!" the torn man shouted at the dragon, gaining its attention. Gildarts knew that provoking the beast was an extremely stupid action seeing as he had no chance whatsoever against the creature but he had to try. He had the feeling that if he did not defeat the dragon here, his whole guild would pay for it. And, although he was scared, the thought of his family having to face the powerful dragon provided him with the strength to carry on.

The dragon, as if in response to his taunt, unleashed a powerful roar at the man, causing him to fly backwards towards a large boulder.

"Come on you bastard! I'm not done with you yet!" Gildarts taunted, too weak to do anything else, as he removed himself away from the boulder. The dragon roared as its tail shot up and swung at the man's lower left side at a blinding speed, aiming to cut him in half by the waist. The red head tried to avoid the attack by jumping backwards. But, unfortunately for the powerful mage, he did not manage to evade the tail in time, his left leg was caught and instantly cut off as the razor tip of the dragon's tail passed through it as if it was unhindered. The man gave out a loud cry as he once again crashed into one of the boulders. Gildarts Clive knew that he was finished; if not from the dragon then from his injuries. But he also knew that he was not going to give up until the very end.

Sasuke watched as the man slowly collapsed due to the massive blood loss, the ninja was surprised that the man even survived that long but assumed that the lizard was only toying with, what he assumed, was a mage, a very powerful one at that. He couldn't understand what the man was saying but, whatever he said, seemed to have enraged the beast. Seeing as his curiosity was satisfied, the powerful young Uchiha decide that it was time to leave as he turned around to head towards the small settlement he found earlier.

Sasuke stopped mid-step as he suddenly felt the man's energy spike up again. The shinobi slowly turned around as if some mysterious power was influencing him to witness what was going to happen. As he once again turned his eyes on the tattered form of the man, he noticed that the redhead was once again standing up, looking dead, but up nonetheless. The man was using the bolder behind him for support, visibly struggling to keep himself steady. The mage raised his bloody head once more to meet the Dragon's gaze. It was then that Sasuke Uchiha saw it again, a much clearer view. He saw something that he only witnessed when he fought with or together with the idiotic blond Jinchuriki. It was the same determined and hopeful eyes as Naruto presented to the young Uchiha in every encounter they had. Is what, together with the Kyuubi, provided the Uzumaki with strength. The eyes of someone in a mission, the eyes that never wavered even in the face of ultimate despair. They were the eyes of the self-proclaimed next Hokage.

Sasuke was completely frozen; he was stupefied that there was someone as stupid as the blond in this world as well. The ninja snapped out of his musings when he felt a gust of wind coming from the creature as it took flight. The last Uchiha watched with fascination as the lizard concentrated energy in its lungs area and flapped its powerful wings, putting some distance between the man and itself, aiming to obliterate the entire island with a single bean. Sasuke turned his onyx eyes away from the beast and observed the man instead, wondering if he gave up the foolish idea that there was still hope for survival. To his shock, however, the man still had the same look in his eyes, the man still hoped for the impossible. Those eyes were what made him move. Sasuke disappeared with a red flash only to appear a nanosecond later with two scrolls in front of the red headed man. The former avenger just stared at the man with irritation written across his gorgeous features, there were only two things that still annoyed the hell out him; the whiskered idiot and everyone else that held a similarity to him. Well, that and fangirls. The man, however, openly gaped at the Uchiha as if he was some type of spirit, not believing he was really there.

The dragon pulled back its massive head to send its might roar at the two people in front of it. Sasuke, in return, drew the Kusanagi halfway out of his sheath and used it to cut his left palm, drawing his own blood as he placed the two scrolls on the ground, forming an X shape. He then placed his bloody hand where the two scrolls connect as he gathered a small amount of his purple like energy.

"ROOOAAAAAAAAAAAAR!" the dragon let loose all the energy stored in its throat, sending a black lance towards Sasuke and the injured man.

"Summoning: Quintuple Rashomon" the Uchiha muttered Orochimaru's strongest defense technique as five menacing gates came out of the ground, causing an earth-shattering earthquake in the process.

The enormous bean of energy collided with the first demon gate, instantly slowing down but tearing through the first gate easily enough. The lance had a much harder time with the second menacing gate as the attack seemed to have completely stopped.

Not a beast to be outdone, however, the black creature increased the power output of his attack as the bean increased five times in size, tearing through the second and third demon gate in quick succession. He removed his healed hand from the scroll and quickly positioned them in his pouch together with his other ninja tools. He then narrowed his eyes at the fifth gate as the bean passed through the fourth demon gate with moderate resistance. The Uchiha silently commended his last line of defense to open. The strongest demon gate, obeying its master's orders, opened its massive gate, displaying endless darkness. The bean was immediately consumed by the endless darkness as the gate remained open.

"Kai" Sasuke mentally commended when he felt the gate consumed enough of the energy to reduce the damage caused in the island but still enough to obliterate what the dragon considered insects.

The massive explosion that followed destroyed everything in the immediate areas and delivered a huge shockwave that obliterated various mountains and completely erased the forest from existence. After the explosion, there was a huge dust cloud making it very difficult to see if the two men survived the explosion. Wanting to make sure that the fools who dared challenge the great black dragon were obliterated, the beast used its massive wings to fan out the remaining dust clouds that were preventing it from seeing the results of the battle. The dragon narrowed its eyes as he noticed that the foolish humans were indeed nothing but dust as the only thing left of the explosion was the massive crater decorating the island. Presuming that it was victorious, The Dragon of the Apocalypse let loose a triumphant roar as it flapped its wings and took off, the only thing in its mind was the atrocious dark power that completely disappeared, as if it was never there to begin with.

Unknown to the dragon, the subject of its worries was in a nearby cave some kilometers away watching as the mighty creature flew towards the west after giving out its thunderous cry of triumph, a cry that was surely heard throughout Earthland.

Sasuke Uchiha adjusted the unconscious redhead on his left shoulder, not apparently caring that the man could most likely die from his injuries. He had no idea why he saved the injured man and now Sasuke was hoping against hope that the man would take his last breath; the redhead had caused him enough problems. Much to his dislike, however, the avenger deduced that his wish would remain unrequited seeing as the mage would, almost certainly, survive; idiots like him are strangely very hard to kill. Giving a final look at the dragon about to disappear above the clouds, the raven haired man jumped to the air, heading towards the village to the south.
