Hello everyone! NatsuDragneel0 here to bring you a (slightly) interesting story. The pairings of this story is just simple NaLu and GruVia, but don't expect much of the shippings, it's mainly just Natsu and Gray in this story. Anyways, Onto the story!
~Fairy Tail: Freeze-Flame~
~Chapter 1~
Our favorite Dragon Slayer groaned when he heard a familiar crow cry out, signaling for him to wake up. He shut his eyes tighter and rolled over, telling the crow to go away in a mumble. The crow pestered, however, and flew into his house, into his bedroom, onto his bed, right into his ear, and..
"KAW!"
Although the Fire Dragon Slayer's hearing was not as sensitive as Cobra's, Natsu still happened to have quite the sensitive hearing. His eyes popped open and he roared out in pain, rolling on the floor. "What the hell?! Where did you even come from?!" He shouted, then sweat-dropped when he realized the crow was long gone, only bird tracks remaining in its place.
He got out of bed and stretched, still quite annoyed at what happened. Looking around, he noticed something, rather, someone, was missing. His feline companion, Happy, was seemingly gone.
"Happy? You here?" He called out into his house, but raised an eyebrow when he was not responded with a trademark "Aye, Sir!"
"Eh, he must've gone out to the guild already." He said aloud, still confused by the exceed's sudden disappearance. After getting clothed fully, he made his way through his clustered house, dishes and old job requests lying around, food scattered, and Lucy's maid outfit sitting neatly on his couch. He smirked at the memory, before making his way out the door, out to the guild, to meet up with his friends.
He placed his hands behind his head and began walking down the path through the forest to the famous Fairy Tail guild hall. He looked to the sky and grinned. Things sure have been peaceful ever since Zeref and Acnologia were defeated. Natsu was given the title of "Dragon King" by the magic council, although he cringed at the said title. His best friend, Happy had been named the "Exceed Prince" and his other best friend Lucy Heartfilia was given the title of "Celestial Queen." He sighed, thinking that all the dumb titles were stupid, and how he preferred simplicity.
Walking down the open street, he looked around, noticing how most of the citizens of Magnolia would turn to him and either shout and point or bow. He gulped, annoyed at how everyone seemed to treat him like a God these days. 'All I did was take down Zeref and Acnologia.. It ain't nothin.' He thought. He saw the guild just down the street, and his grin widened as he started to run towards it.
He reached the doors, and he kicked them open, opened his mouth wide, and shouted "I'M HOMEEEEE!" However, rather quickly, he realized something.
The Liveliest Guild was dead silent, with no one there.
"Hello?" Natsu called out, confused as hell. The only other time the guild was like this was when Lucy slipped some sort of magic into his drink, and he arrived at the guild about six hours before it opened. But looking at the clock, it was clearly open hours. He walked to the bar, taking a sniff, looking for any scent, but found nothing. He walked up the stairs, peaking into the Master's office, but gulped when he saw no one.
"Was there a big party I didn't know about?!" He thought angrily, remembering the time the guild when to Crocus without him. "I'ma get them back for this!" He yelled out, a dark red aura surrounding him while he had demon eyes. He went behind the bar counter, opened up a secret compartment, and..
..Pulled out twelve black permanent markers.
"Yes! I'm gonna color all the bottles black so they can't tell what's what!" He said triumphantly. However, before he even got to the first bottle, someone entered the guild. He turned to the door, a confused look on his face.
"Huh? Natsu? You're here?" Gray, the Ice Devil Slayer asked, as the Dragon Slayer nodded.
"Hey, Ice prick! Where's the party at, and why wasn't I invited?!" He yelled out angrily. Gray raised an eyebrow, and shrugged. "There was a party?" Natsu nodded angrily. "Yeah! And I wasn't invited! Now where's it at?!"
Gray was confused, nonetheless. But he suddenly widened his eyes. "WAIT! I WASN'T INVITED!" Natsu tossed him a marker. "Get coloring!"
The duo scribbled on all of the bottles, and grinned happily at their progress. They both fist-bumped at their victory, but then raised an eyebrow at the guild door opening, and nothing but black smoke entering.
"So... the two of you haven't figured it out yet, have you?" The smoke turned into a robed man, grinning. "Can we help you?" Gray asked. The figure stepped forward. "Well, I can help you. I know where your guild went." Natsu growled. "They didn't invite us to their party! Where are they?!" The man laughed.
"Well, I suppose it CAN be considered a party. Anyways, I'll explain this quickly." He bowed. "I am Terius, one of the twelve anti-gates."
"Gates? Like Zodiac Gates?" Terius nodded. "Yes. I am part of the Anti-Fairies, the strongest dark guild to date!" He cackled, then looked at the duo dead in the eyes.
"And we've taken all of Fairy Tail. Well, all but two. But that will change!" Terius quickly changed into the black smoke, enveloping the guild. However, Natsu and Gray were not caught off guard by this, as the duo quickly jumped to the second floor. Terius growled slightly before raising his fists at the duo. "CYCLONE!" The smoke quickly swirled towards the duo, who were ready for this.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
"Ice Devil's Rage!"
Fire and Ice blasted through the two cyclones, smacking Terius dead in the face. 'W-what?!" He said, before gasping at the duo that dashed towards him, Natsu taking the lead.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" He roared out, smacking him dead in the face, while Gray followed him up.
"Ice Devil's Steel Punch!"
Terius groaned in pain, but got up, and turned into smoke. "Tch! Until next time, you two!"
"Oh.. By the way, your entire guild is being held at our headquarters. You have twelve days to save them, or else they shall be melted down into pure magic, where we will use said magic to blast Magnolia, Fairy Tail, and Sabertooth from existence! AHAHAHAHAAHAA!" He laughed out, as the smoke billowed out.
Natsu snarled out, and Gray stopped him. "Look, Natsu! He left a map of where the headquarters are." Natsu picked up the map, and growled. "Gray. We're gonna stop 'em." The Devil Slayer smirked and nodded. "Aye. I don't care what it takes. Our family ain't going nowhere without us." The duo quickly grabbed a small amount of supplies, Gray putting on a dark blue hoodie and jet black jeans, while Natsu put on a reddish-pink long sleeve shirt, with brown pants and combat boots, with his trademark scarf wrapped around his neck.
The duo made their way to the entrance, and gave one final look back. "Let's do this, Flame Brain."
"Yeah, Ice Princess."
They fist-bumped, and set off on their adventure to save their family.
And there you have it! I hope I did not rush it out, I was just excited to get this story out. I hope you enjoy it, I can't wait to update this!
'Till next time!
