A/n: I'm not going to waste your time on long author notes. So I'll just do the disclaimer.
I do not own Fairy Tail.
Chapter 1: Natsu
"It's for our comrades. For seven years... Always... They were waiting for us... No matter how tough it was, no matter how sad; even if they were made fools of, they endured and endured... and protected the guild. For our comrades, we'll show you... The proof that Fairy Tail has kept going! And that's why we'll keep moving forward!"- Natsu
Natsu wanted to be powerful, not just normal powerful, really powerful. Why? He wanted to see Igneel. He wanted to meet him and ask him why he had left him. He wanted Igneel to recognize him as more than a 'son'. He wanted Igneel to proud of him. He wanted to be recognized as powerful.
There was another reason he wanted to be strong. He wanted to protect his friends. He wanted to make everyone happy, he wanted to erase every negative feeling in the world. That was the reason he fought hard at the Phantom Lord situation. That was why he fought hard against Oración Seis. He wanted to protect everyone, just like Igneel protected and cared for him. He wanted to spread the kindness and warmth of Igneel. He had Igneel's fire in his soul, and he would not let it die out until the last moments of his life!
