Fairy Tail: Force of Dragon
Draco711: Alrighty, here is my first story to Fairy Tail! And I have a guest who will be with us throughout the story.
Natsu: Alright! I'm all fire up!
Draco711: We know you are Natsu, so are we. We also going to have some special guests joining us from time to time.
Natsu: Really?! I hope Erza is one of them!
Draco711: Oh~ and why do you want Erza to be one of them? *smiles deviously*
Natsu *blushing*: Um...uh...Oh! Look, begin the first chapter already!
Draco711: Fine...on with the story~ oh! before that~
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail. For if I did, NatsuxErza would be guaranteed hands down.
Ch. 1: The Disappearance and Return of Fire and Ice
"I'm sorry, Natsu. I don't feel the same way…I love Jellal." Erza said, looking down to avoid looking at the hurt in Natsus's eyes.
"Juvia is sorry, Gray-sama. But Juvia accepted Lyon-sama's love." Juvia said, avoiding the hurt filled eyes belonging to Gray. The Fire Dragon Slayer and Ice Mage were hurt and devastated. As much as they wanted to blame Jellal and Lyon for taking their loves away from them, they couldn't. They knew the blame lies with them for not telling them how they felt sooner. The guild tried to cheer them up, mainly Gajeel and Laxus. But nothing would work to get them out of the slums.
The next day came as Natsu and Gray arrives at the same time. Painfully, the first thing they saw was Erza and Juvia with Jellal and Lyon. From what they can tell, they're in good spirits. Of course they were, they left the guild together to do whatever couples do last night. They walked to the job board to go on a job. The Knight and Water mages notice them, and made to say hello. But they notice that the two weren't looking their way. Natsu and Gray chose a three man cell job as Happy flew in. Once they brief Happy in and let Mira know; the three left, not noticing the pained looks on their former loves faces.
Three years has passed since they left for that job. The guild searched everywhere but couldn't find them anywhere. Gajeel, Laxus and Wendy couldn't pick up their scent either. Mira know the mission they chose, it was a simple B-rank mission. They should've been back. Painfully, Marakov had to call of the search, praying and hoping the two mages return home safely. Overtime, the guild continued its activities. They had pulled back from the Grand Magical Games the last three years to look for Natsu and Gray.
But no one took their disappearance harder than Erza and Juvia. They felt partially responsible for this despite everyone telling them otherwise. They felt Natsu and Gray left on the mission to not think of the rejection. Jellal and Lyon stayed by the two side, telling them the guild's favorite fighting duo will return.
Two guys walked into Magnolia as someone flew above their heads. They all wore hoods, which concealed most of their face. One grinned a familiar grin as another gave a familiar smirk. They then walked into town as the little person flew after them.
The Fairy Tail guild is in a field having a party. There wasn't a real reason, they just wanted to party. Gajeel held Levy in his lap, nibbling her ear every so often. Levy had a blush as Gajeel did this. Wendy is playing with Carla as she ran around from the flying Exceed. Laxus is behind a tree with Mira. They appear to be in an intense make out session. Cana is drinking from a barrel of beer for the tenth time as Mascao and Wakaba drunk from mugs. Alzack and Bisca are sitting in the shade of a tree. Lisanna, who had returned, is watching Elfman arm wrestle Jet as he already defeated Droy. Lucy is lying on Loke's chest as they watched the clouds. Master Marakov had managed to get Porlyusica to come. And Erza and Juvia are sitting with Jellal and Lyon. Marakov then stood onto the table.
"Alright, listen up!" he shouts. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked to the Master. Laxus and Mira walked from behind the tree, as Laxus is irritated.
"It is time for the test selected mages to become an S-class mage." Everyone was quiet for a moment, and then cheered out loud.
"And the participants are: Gajeel Redfox, Wendy Marvell, Levy McGarden, Elfman Strauss, Lisanna Strauss, Juvia Lockser, Lyon Vastia, Jellal Fernandes, Lucy Heartfilia, Cana Alberona, Mascao Conbolt, Wakaba Mine, Alzack Connell, Bisca Connell, Jet and Droy." Marakov states,
"Are you going to include us?" a voice asks. Everyone looked and saw three hooded figures. Erza stood up and walked to the center between the guild and the three figures.
"Identify yourselves." Erza states firmly.
"It's only been three years and you don't remember us." Figure 1 responds.
"Should we know you?"
"Yeah, we're hurt you don't." figure 2 said, in mock hurt.
"Aye!" figure 3, the smallest, states. This shocked the guild. Aye? They only know one blue cat that says that. Before they could think anymore on it, the three lowered their hoods revealing their faces. This shocked everyone, especially Erza and Juvia. One has pink hair and onyx eyes as the other has dark hair with dark blue eyes. The smallest is a blue cat, an Exceed like Carla.
"Natsu…" Erza breathes.
"Gray-sama…" Juvia breathes also. She had come and stood beside Erza. The guild was shock at their appearance. Natsu's hair grew longer and wilder. His canines are also sharper. He wore a dark crimson overcoat; similar to the one Jellal wore at the Tower of Heaven. He also wore a black muscle shirt, white pants and black combat boots. He still wore his signature scarf around his neck. Gray hair is longer and slightly wilder. He wore an ocean blue hoodie over a dark blue muscle shirt. He wore black pants with black combat boots. He also had canines like Natsu. Happy looked relatively the same as he did before. He is now wearing a black hoodie as reddish black shades is on top of his head.
"Well, are you going to just stare at us all day or what?" Natsu asks. That's all it took as the guild rush toward them and welcomes them back. The girls hugged them as the guys clasp their hands and gave them fist bumps. They even accepted Jellal's and Lyon's welcome back. The only two who didn't move to them was Erza and Juvia. Natsu and gray noticed this and went over to them.
"Hey." Natsu said.
"H-Hi…" Erza replies.
"Been awhile, hasn't it?" Gray adds.
"Y-Yeah…" Juvia agrees.
"Everyone missed you…especially us." Erza murmurs.
"We know." Natsu whispers.
"We missed you so much…" Juvia adds.
"We know." Gray whispers. Soon tears began falling from the female mages as they gripped the male mages shirts.
"We thought you had died…never to return to the guild…" Erza cries. She avoided saying us, though not sure why. But it didn't matter as Natsu and Gray wrapped their arms around the shaking girls. They let them cry into their chest, stroking their hair. Once they calmed down, they pulled back wiping their tears.
"Just don't do that again, okay."
"We promise." Natsu said. Marakov cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
"Well, now Natsu and Gray are back, they are now official participants to become S-class mages." Marakov states. Everyone cheered as Natsu grinned as Gray smirks.
"Now we really have a reason to party!" Mascao shouts. The guild cheered louder as the party continued. Now they have a reason: For Natsu's and Gray's safe return home.
"What have you been doing?" Levy asks.
"Well, we were training for the past three years." Natsu answers.
"Wow, you must be crazy strong." Jet said.
"Yeah." Gray assures.
"We probably would've been back sooner if it wasn't for Ice Princess mess up." Natsu informs.
"Excuse me Ash-for-brains, I didn't blow up half a mansion." Gray retorts.
"They had it coming! At least I didn't strip in the middle of town!"
"Wasn't that the part of town you burned down after blowing up the mansion!?" The two mages had now stood up, ready to start throwing fists. They were about to till a dark aura appeared.
"Natsu…Gray…" Erza hisses.
"Ah, Erza! We weren't fighting! Right Gray?" Natsu responds, with a fake smile.
"Right Natsu!" Gray agrees, with a similar fake smile. They threw their arms around each other like best friends. Erza knew this wasn't going to last, but chose to let it go for now. The guild laughed as they saw that they never changed over the three years. Lisanna walked up to the two, who sat down relieved Erza didn't pummel them.
"Hey Natsu, Gray." Lisanna greets, smiling.
"Hey Lisanna." they greeted in unison. Ten seconds later, they looked back to Lisanna shocked as Happy came up shocked as well.
"Lisanna?!" Gray shouts, in disbelief.
"You're alive!" Natsu and Happy shouts in unison.
"Yup!" Lisanna said, happily.
"How?" Natsu asks. Lisanna and the others explained about Edolas and what happened there. Natsu, Happy and Gray listened, wishing they were here.
"Well, welcome back." Natsu grinned.
"Glad to be back." Lisanna smiles. Happy flew into Lisanna's arms crying. Lisanna smiles warmly and hugs Happy who clung to her. Natsu smiles then looked confused as Lisanna looked at him. She walked to him and leaned into him with happy in between them.
"Lisanna?" Natsu said.
"Isn't the husband suppose to wrap the wife and son in a hug?" Lisanna replies, smiling.
"W-What?!"
"Yeah, isn't that what the husband should do?" Happy asks, with mischievous grin. Natsu blushed as he wrapped his arms around them. Lisanna giggled as Happy snuggled against them. As Erza watched this, they look like a happy family. This sent a pang of jealousy through her heart. Though she didn't let it show on her face. Gray is leaning against the table when someone stood next to him. He looked and saw Ultear.
"Hi Gray." Ultear greets.
"Ultear? When you get here?" Gray asks.
"Just now, and when I saw you, I just had to come and speak to you."
"Okay." As Ultear and Gray spoke casually and merrily, Juvia had to hold her conflicting emotions. She wants to storm over and tell Ultear that Gray is hers. But she knew she can't, not when she's with Lyon. Soon, Natsu let out a deep yawn.
"Tired Natsu?" Lisanna asks.
"Yeah...we didn't get much sleep the last two days." Natsu answers, groggily.
"Why?" Lucy asks.
"We wanted to get back to Fairy Tail as soon as possible." Happy answers, fading to sleep.
"You need sleep and not party."
"Don't worry...we'll be..." Natsu began. He didn't finish as he fell back onto the ground asleep. Lucy and Lisanna looked and saw that Gray had fallen asleep also.
"Well, best go take them home." Marakov said.
"Okay, Elfman! Can you help me with Natsu?" Lisanna responds.
"Of course! Because I'm a real man, and real man help their friends!" Elfman shouts. Elfman went and lifted Natsu in a fireman carry. Ultear chose to lift Gray up on her own. They then took the sleeping mages and the Exceed to their respective homes.
"Well, guess we should turn in as well." Marakov states. The guild nods as they went home. They'll clean up the mess when they get to it. Lisanna and Elfman arrives to Natsu's and Happy's home. Lisanna smiles as it is the same as before. They walked in and saw a lot of dust. Well, Natsu and Happy weren't here for three years. They saw two hammocks, so Elfman placed Natsu on one as Lisanna placed Happy on the other. As Elfman went to the door, stating how manly Natsu lived, Lisanna walked to Natsu. She smiled as she looked into his sleeping face. She leaned and kissed his lips briefly before pulling back.
"I love you Natsu. I know you don't feel the same way, your love belongs to Erza. I just want to let you know that I'll be cheering you on." she said. After kissing his cheek, she left with Elfman who didn't notice a thing.
"Ultear arrives to Gray's home and walks inside. His house is dusty due to his absence. She took him to his room and lays him onto his bed. She looks into his sleeping face, and smiles. She knows he loves Juvia, but couldn't help but kiss his lips briefly.
"Good night my Icy Prince. I'll be by your side always." she thought. She then left his home. Outside the guild; Laxus, Gajeel and Wendy are talking to one another.
"Have you noticed that Gray's scent is slightly different?" Laxus asks.
"Yeah." Wendy answers.
"Its like...a smell belonging to a Dragon Slayer." Gajeel adds.
"We don't know their backstory during the three years, but we have to wait till they tell us." Laxus states. The Iron and Sky Dragon Slayers nods as the three walks into the guild. Everyone is glad Natsu and Gray are back. And going to be even more glad they are back when trouble appears.
