Well first of all i havent done any writing since high school so i dunno if this will suck or not. Figured i could at least try though right? Anyway ive had this idea in my head for awhile so if people like it cool, if not not a big deal either. This story is gonna be a gears of war and fairy tail crossover. I know kinda at different ends of the entertainment spectrum but i think its a cool idea.
I dont own gears or fairy Tail
Year x780 Magnolia, Fiore
It was another typical day for the city of Magnolia. The sun was shining with a few clouds in the sky. Needless to say a great day, peaceful, tranquil. That is unless your at Fairy Tail.
CRASH!
Here you'll see an older boy of about 14 years of age colliding with a table. "HEY! You'll pay for that Ice-Prick!" shouted the boy as he stood up and dusted off his white baggy pants. This boy was Natsu Dragneel the resident fire dragon slayer. "You'll pay for that" he shouted as he ran at his opponent with his fist cocked back covered in flames.
CRACK! The black-haired boy was not expecting an attack this quickly and boy, did he pay for it. The fire-fueled punch literally knocked the boy across the guild hall though the far wall and into the street were layed their unconsious. "Heh, that's what he gets for calling my hair pink the damn stripper" said Natsu. "Hmmm, what should i do now?" thought Natsu to himself as he turned around to head back to his table. Well that was the plan before he felt a cold stare from a certain scarlet-haired requip mage. This girl was no other than Erza Scarlet, one of the resident S class mages who at this very moment was giving off a deadly aura.
"Natsu! What have a told you about fighting in the guild hall?" asked Erza while still glaring at Natsu. "Sorry Erza" replied Natsu with a downcast look. As he looked at her though she could see a small look of defiance in his eyes. "He still deserved it though! He called my hair pink when he knows its Salmon!" exclaimed Natsu. "Besides, you and Mira fight all the time. How is me and Gray fighting any different?" asked Natsu with a small glare.
"Damn man be careful! or she'll punish you!" shouted a random guild member. "He's a real man for his words" shouted Elfman, the brother of Mira and Lissanna Strauss. "That guild member is correct you know" said Erza as she slowly stalked toward Natsu. "You do need to be punished." Before Natsu could blink, he was doubled over as Erza buried her first into his stomach causing him to cough up some spit before collapsing to the floor. "Hmmp! That'll teach him for fighting in my guild" exclaimed Erza with a small smirk.
"Your Guild! Last time i checked it was still Makarov's guild hall tin can!" Shouted a white haired girl of about 14 years of age in a somewhat revealing gothic outfit. This was Mirajane Strauss leaning against the bar near her younger sister Lisanna and a small blue cat that was currently eating a fish on the bar counter. "Happy. Don't you care that Natsu was just knocked out?" Asked Lisanna with a little concern in her eyes. "Aye" replied Happy before going back to eating his fish. After all fish is very important to the small blue cat.
"Anyway's Erza, where do you get off punishing Natsu like that? Only i can do that!" Yelled Mira while she glared at Erza. "Last time i checked he isn't your's, harlot!" shouted Erza in response as she quickly re-qiped a sword into her right hand. "Oh, you wanna go fire-crotch!" Shouted Mira as she charged up a demon blast in her hands. "Lets go she-bitch!" as Erza charged at Mira, thus kicking off another fight which quickly escalated into a guild-wide brawl. Hell it was so awesome even Natsu woke up and immediately joined in.
Meanwhile upstairs in Makarov's office

"Hmmm, well the only 2 s-classes mages here are Erza and Mira... They fight like cats and dogs though" Mused Makarov to himself. Then with a flash of inspiration he thought... Natsu. "Yes Natsu would be a good choice. He's strong for his age, its good experience, and most importantly he can keep Erza and Mira calm...somewhat calm." He muttered to himself. His thought were broken when he heard a bunch of crashes, yelling, and fighting coming from the main hall. "Damn Brats"Makarov muttered to himself as he stalked out of his office. "ALL RIGHT YOU BRATS KNOCK IT OFF!" Yelled Makarov as he stood on the upper floor. You could hear a pin drop as everyone froze where they were. Many guild members where knocked out or strewn across the floor. The only ones still standing were Erza, the three Strauss siblings, Cana, Gray, and Natsu. Everybody else was knocked out or struggling to stand up.
Sigh..."Can't go a single day..." thought Makarov. "Everybody clean this mess NOW!" shouted the short guild master as he glared down at his children. "Erza, Mira, Natsu come up to my office, I need to talk to you" commanded The short man as he looked at the three mages.
A few minutes later...
"Master you wanted to talk with us?" Asked Erza as she walked into the masters office followed by the other two mages. "Yes Erza, I have a job for the three of you that just came in this morning" replied Makarov.
"You want me to work with her!" shouted both girls as the pointed at each other.
"Yes" answered Makarov. "But don't worry Natsu is going with you two so it wont be that bad" he explained while looking at the three mages.
"What's the job" asked Natsu as he stood there between the two other mages. "Here" replied Makarov as he handed the request to Natsu while the three mages huddled around to study the request. "As you can see, they need our help immediately. Do you all accept?" asked the guild master.
"Of course we do! We're Fairy Tail! We help those in need" exclaimed Natsu as the two girls nodded.
"Now Natsu, this is an S-Class quest so you WILL listen to Mira and Erza at all times. Do you understand? asked makarov with a stern look at the pink-haired boy. Natsu gave a quick nod of agreement before the guild master continued.
"Good. Well your train leaves in one hour so you better get to the station or you'll miss it." he said before shooing the 3 mages from his office. "Please be safe..."thought Makarov as he sat behind his desk looking at the closed door.
"Hey you two we should have Lisanna take our picture before we leave. You know to commemorate our first job together" suggested Natsu as he looked at his two companions. "That should be fine, but I'm not standing next to Tin Can, got it?" replied Mira with a glare at Erza. "Fine" replied Erza with a sigh as she looked over at Lisanna. "Lisanna could you take our picture please" asked Erza to the youngest Strauss sibling as she went behind the bar to get her camera.
"Hey Happy, get in the picture! It's my first S-class quest!" said Natsu with a wide grin. "Aye sir" replied Happy before he flew over and landed on Natus's head who was standing between Erza and Mira. "Ok, everybody smile!" exclaimed Lisanna with her camera.
Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash!
"Ow my eyes!" shouted Natsu as he rubbed the spots from his eyes. "There! Now everybody has a copy" exclaimed Lisanna with a bright smile as she quickly handed out the photos to each member.
"Hey flame-brain!" Why are you going on an S-class quest?" Asked Gray as he marched up to Natse with a scowl. "Well popsicle, I'm going with Erza and Mira. But if you begged I'm sure you can come with." said Natsu with a smirk.
"A mission with those two monsters! No way im doing that!" Thought Gray as he looked at the three mages in fear. "Uh,you know what I'm good." replied Gray with a quiver in his voice as he backed up a few steps.
"Natsu. We must get going if we want to catch the train." said Erza as she grabbed him by the scarf and dragged him out of the guild with Mira and Happy following them.
"So Manly!" shouted Elfman as the rest of the guild looked on in pity at the disappearing mages. "Stay safe Natsu" Gray thought to himself before walking out the guild to go train.
On a train heading to Bayshore
"Ugh, i hate trains." said Natsu with a queasy voice as Erza looked at him in pity while Mire and Happy grinned at his misfortune.
"Having problems?" asked Mira in a sing song voice that was honestly...a little creepy. " Aye Natsu, your so lame!" giggled the little blue cat. "Traitorous cat!" snapped Natsu before he turned green again. "How much longer Erza?" Natsu asked with a pleading voice as he slumped lower in the seat next to the red head. "Just 10 more minutes Natsu. Here rest your head on my lap it might help" replied Erza with a small blush. "Really? thanks Erza your the best!" exclaimed Natsu before resting his head down on the armor mages lap.
This did not go un-noticed by Mira and happy. While Mire glared with jealous thoughts going through her head "damn red-head that's my Natsu! Wait...my Natsu? where did that come from?" thought Mira has she slightly blushed. This also didn't go un-noticed by the flying blue cat.
"You both liiiiike him' said happy in a teasing tone.
What was that!?" both girls shouted at happy with scary glares at the small cat.
"Nothing!" shouted Happy in fear as he quickly took a fish and started eating in the corner away from the two scary girls.
The forest outside of Bayshore 3 hours later
"That mayor was no help at all. just find the rune knights to the west of the city he says" grumbled Mira as she walked alongside Natsu and Erza.
"Agreed. He was not very helpful at all" replied Erza with a small frown. "What i don't understand is where the military are? they should've been here." as she continued talking. "Natsu, what do you think?" she asked
he was walking deep in thought, completely oblivious to the red head's question. "Natsu" she tried again. Still no response "Hmphh" she muttered before she grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. "Pay attention! I asked you a question!" shouted Erza at the dragon slayers face.
"Sorry Erza, but something doesn't feel right" replied Natsu as he quickly looked at his traveling companions.
"What do you mean?" Asked Mira as she looked at young man. "I mean it smells like blood, death...horror. Its making me uneasy" replied Natsu with a serious scowl on his face
Before they could continue walking any further, they heard screaming coming from up the road.
"No! Stay back! Stay Baacckk!" before a blood-curdling scream echoed through the woods.
With a look of horror etched across all their faces they all quickly ran up the road to the screaming before coming to a stop over the next rise in the road...it was a slaughter. Bodies were laying on the ground twisted, broken, blood leaking from massive wounds. Hell some were missing arms, legs...it was the worst thing they've every seen. Then they heard a small wimpering. The mages looked up the road to see a man held aloft by a large, pale monster above its head.
"Somebody help me please!" the rune knight shouted before a horrible tearing sound was heard. This beast...no..this monster ripped the man in half right before their eyes. It Easily stood 8-9 feet tall was covered in gray skin with beady yellow eyes. Its body was covered in rippling muscle and scars. That's when it turned toward them thus allowing the three mages to see a spinning vortex behind it.
Thud. Thud.
The ground shook as the monster slowly approached them, sniffing the air.
"Requip, Satan Soul" both girls cried as they fired up their magic. Erza in her Heaven's wheel armor and Mira in her most powerful demon form. This spurred the monster into a run straight toward Erza. With a mighty swing it clubbed her to the side sending her flying into a tree where she slid down. Erza struggled to stand, but failed as she felt pain wrack her body. Glancing down, she saw a sight that made no sense. "Impossible, that monster cracked my armor in one hit." She said to herself as she shakily stood up. Gathering multiple swords around her, Erza spotted her enemy. The vile abomination was approaching Mira and Natsu who were both charging attacks. "I need to buy them time' she thought to herself before she shouted "Dance my blades!" over 30 swords collided with the monster...it had no effect.
"Satan's Soul Fire" Shouted Mira as she fired a devastating attack at the monster from point blank range. "That should do it" she thought with a smirk as smoke clouded the battle field.
With a roar the monster charged out of the smoke and hit Mira in the upper right shoulder with a devastating blow. Mira flew across the field before hitting a tree with a sickening crunch.
"Ugh, what happened?" thought Mira as she looked around groggily before gasping in pain. She looked down at her right shoulder which throbbed in pain. "Oh yeah, thats definitely broken" she thought before coughing up some blood. "Ugh" she muttered as she stood up on shaky legs "some cracked ribs too for sure" she thought to herself. All this happened in the span of a couple of seconds.
"MIRA! ERZA!" shouted natsu before he glared at the monster with fury in his eyes. "Eat this! FIRE DRAGONS ROAR!" screamed Natsu as he launched his signature attack at the monster. Instead of brushing it off like Erza's and Mira's attacks from earlier, it screamed. It screamed in pain as fire spread across its skin causing it to crack and pop with newly formed blisters.
Erza and Mira saw this development and despite their wounds fired renewed attacks.
"Satan's Soul: Extinction!" cried Mira as she put all her remaining magic into this final blast
"Circle Sword!" shouted Erza as she too put everything into her attack. Both thier attacks hit the monster similtaneously. "We had no choice but to go all out, this is the only way to hurt this monster. Natsu's flames are the only thing that hurt it. Both myself and Mira were useless against it" Thought Erza as she used a sword to keep herself from falling over.
"Hey! You two okay?" shouted Natsu from across the battlefield
"I'm good!" explained Mira "I do have a broken arm and some cracked ribs though" she continued from where she stood
"I too am wounded, but not as bad as Mira' replied Erza.
"Alright." said Natsu "lets get goi..."
"ROOOOAR!"
The three mages looked on in shock as the smoke cleared from their attack. The monster had multiple swords sticking out of its body, its left arm was missing, and horrible burns covered its face and body. That's when its gaze settled on Erza.
"ERZA! MOVE!" Yelled Natsu before the horrible beast charged the requip mage as it raised its remaining arm to attack
She looked on in horror as she screamed for her body to move "come on move, MOVE!" thought Erza before she started to dodge, but it was too late.
CRACK!
Thats the sound that echoed across the field after Erza collided with a large boulder
"My leg...my leg is broken and i cant move" she thought in a panic
"HAPPY!" shouted Natsu "Get Erza and Mira out of here now! They cant fight anymore!"
"Ay...Aye sir" Happy stuttered before flying off to Erza and quickly picking her up and flying over to Mira."C'mon Mira we have to go!" shouted happy.
"But..but, he needs my help" replied Mira.
"Mira! you need to get the fuck out of here now! You can barely stay awake after those attacks! GO! NOW!" Yelled Natsu as he turned back to face this horrible beast.
"You better win, Natsu." replied Mira before she took after happy and Erza. Unknown to Natsu all three ran with tears in their eyes and and heavy hearts. "Don't you dare lose" all three thought at once.
"FIRE DRAGONS ROAR! shouted natsu as he sent another stream of flames at his enemy before charging the monster with fists lit on fire. The beast cried in pain as it burned while Natsu closed the distance. His fire fists impacted the body as he continued to hit it. Thinking quickly he grabbed one of erza's left over swords the was wedged in the monsters hide. pulling it out, he quickly started slashing and stabbing...the murderous monster was finally starting to weaken. Covering the sword in flames he quickly stabbed a killing blow through its neck. Blood gushed out as it grabbed its neck, attempting to stop the bleeding.
"HA! take that you fucking monster" yelled Natsu with a hate filled glare as this vile creature slowly sank to its knees in its final death throes.
He let his guard down. he should've been able to dodge it, but he got cocky with his victory. It would change his life forever.
With one final gurgling roar, the monster punched Natsu in the face, breaking his nose. With a cry of pain he went flying...right into that spinning vortex. With a final gasp the beast died as a flash of light encompassed the battlefield.
Natsu was gone, the only thing left was his scale-patterned scarf, flickering fires, and the corpses of the dead.
A few minutes later is when the two female mages returned. Mira and Erza were supporting each other cause of their wounds while Happy quickly flew around the battlefield.
"Were is he?" said Erza as she struggled in pain. she and Mira were both struggling to stay awake despite their injuries.
"I dunno" replied Mira as she looked around. "Happy, did you find anything?" asked the white haired mage.
"No, all i found was his scarf. I cant smell him anywhere!" cried the little blue cat.
"Where could he b...The Vortex!" shouted both girls in unison.
"He probably got sent though by that monster during their fight!" exclaimed Mira as she looked at her two companions.
"We must get the master immediately! He might be able to help!" shouted Erza.
"Your right. Plus, we need to let the council know what happened here... especially with all the dead rune knights" said Mira in a sad voice as she looked around at the field of bodies.
"Lets get the fuck outta here" said Mira as the three slowly walked back to town.
After they had arrived back in town they quickly went to the closest hospital to get thier bones mended and encased in casts. Needless to so it hurt...and sucked...alot.
By the next morning even though some of their bruises and cuts started to heal, Erza would still need crutches to get around until her leg healed while Mira had her right arm in a sling and cast. While they were leaving Mira turned to happy and said "Happy i need you to collect the reward for us since myself and erza are obviously still in alot of pain. Can you do that?
"Aye sir!" before the little blue cat flew off to city hall. "Meet us at the train station!" she yelled after him.
"Aye!"
"Sigh, lets go tin can we got 3 blocks to the station"said Mira as the two of them started walking down the street.
"You know you demon harlot im gonna kick your ass once i'm out of these casts" replied Erza as she glared at the eldest strauss.
"Yeah yeah just name the time and place." replied Mira with a smirk.
The two walked in slow silence before Erza spoke up. "Mira? Do you think he's alright?
"Yeah i do, cause despite his foolishness and hyper personality he still is one of the strongest of our generation. Hell I bet that portal just dropped him somewhere on Earthland and he"ll show up in a few weeks" stated Mira with a smile.
With that said, they completed the rest of their walk in silence until they reached the station where a little blue winged cat was already waiting. He had a large reward and Natsu\s scarf clutched in his little paws.
"Ready to go Happy?" asked Erza.
"Yeah...um do you think Natsu will show up at the guild?"asked the little blue cat.
"I'm sure he will in no time" replied erza to happy's question. "Oh, ok...um Erza do you think you can look after Natsu's scarf until he gets back? It's too big for me and I think he'd want you to have it" stated happy as he looked at Erza with pleading eyes.
"Sure Happy I'd be honored" she smiled as Happy flew up and helped her wrap it around her neck.
"Ahem, the trains about to leave we should board now" said Mira as she glared at Erza's new scarf. "Damn that ginger head! That scarf should be mine! She will pay for this!" thought Mira as she boarded the train.
3 hours later...Fairy Tail guild hall
Mira slowly pushed one of the guild hall doors open for erza to walk through. Immediately everybody's eyes were on the two heavily wounded mages...you could hear a pin drop. these two were some of the strongest in the guild and they got the crap beat out of them.
Makarov was the first to approach them. "Girls, where's natsu?" he asked
...
...
Mira was the one to break the silence "He's gone" she replied while everybody gasped in shock.
"You mean natsu's really gone?" asked Lisanna in a small voice a tears slowly trailed down her cheeks.
"Explain. Now." said the guild master in a cold tone. So Mira and Erza explained everything that happened on the mission. It took awhile to explain but eventually they finished their story. Many guild members had tears in their eyes at the end. Some couldn't believe the brave actions of Natsu while some were shocked by the horrible monster he faced.
"Master, you need to inform the council what happened there in that forest" Erza stated as she looked at the short, old man.
"Of course, yes right away. But you two go to the infirmary and lay down to rest. That's an order" replied the master. Both girls nodded as they headed to the infirmary closing the door behind them.
"I better call the council right away" he muttered to himself while climbing the stairs to his office
One week later...
The entire guild hall was gathered in the front hall while they waited for the rune knight captain to start his report. Hell even Laxus and Gildarts were there once they heard the news about Natsu.
"Everybody quiet!" yelled the master to hear the captains report.
"Go ahead captain, we're listening" said makarov.
"Ah yes. After we collected the deceased and that monster we searched 3 square miles around the battle site for the past week. We didnt find anything. No portal or vortex, no blood, no body. We even contacted some other guilds if they heard anything about your comrade. There was nothing" the captain stated before continuing "If this vortex did exist it could have dropped him anywhere on the planet, heck for all i know he could be in another universe" he sighed before looking at them all. "I'm sorry this news isn't what you wanted to hear" he stated before turning and heading out of the guild.
"You mean that's it!" yelled Gildarts from across the hall "He's just gone!" with fury written across his face.
"I'm sorry Gildarts, but thats it. There's nothing else we can do" said makarov with downcast eyes.
"SORRY! YOUR SORRY! HE WAS LIKE A SON TO ME!" yelled the crash mage before storming through the east wall of the guild, activating his crash magic as he walked out of the city.
"I lost one of my children too my friend" muttered makarov in a low voice as his eyes started to water. As he lifted his head up he looked at all his crying children across the room. Even Gray and Laxus had misting around their eyes, though they'd never admit it.
"It truly is a sad day for fairy tail" thought makarov.
Meanwhile with Natsu
He was laying in the middle of a street, his clothes were tatters and rags while he had some nasty cuts and bruises on his 14 year old body. While he had entered the vortex with just a broken nose. He was ejected from that same rip in space-time at a speed of 40mph...he did not have a pleasant landing. He laid there for hours before he started hearing something through his foggy dreams. He heard...screams...gunfire...yelling and finally a voice.
"Hey kid, kid you alright" he heard someone ask before slowly opening his eyes. When they finally came into focus he saw a blonde haired man with blue goggles on his head. He appeared to be wearing some heavy grey armor. It covered his chest, shoulders, legs and shins. The armor had blue lights spaced apart running down the left and right side of the chest piece with a symbol of a black gear in the middle. He was also carrying a large rifle with what looked like a chainsaw slung underneath. Natsu took all these details in within a few seconds
"Ugh my head hurts like an anvil, but i dont think anything's broken...well, except my nose" Natsu responded to the blonde man.
"Alright good, now i don't mean to be a hard-ass but we gotta move" said the blonde man before a loud explosion went off a few blocks away.
"YO! Baird baby we gotta move! Control said the city's almost evacuated. Our extraction is only a block away but we're the last ones in the area! said a large dark-skinned man with a short hair cut. He wore the same armor and equipment as Baird. Two other men wore the same, except they wearing helmets with blue, glowing lenses in front of the eyes.
"Alright lets move" yelled Baird as he yanked natsu to his feet. "Kid we're gonna have run, keep up your you'll die" he said as he pushed him forward. Natsu quickly nodded before running along side the soldiers. But they only made it half a block before they were ambushed by what appeared to be human sized monsters. They had gray skin, sharp teeth and cold, hateful yellow eyes
'Huummans' rasped out one of the monsters before raising its weapon to fire.
"Shit! Grubs!" yelled Baird as he grabbed Natsu and dragged him into cover behind a burned out car next to the dark-skinned man who immediately popped out of cover to return fire.
YARG! yelled one of the monsters as it went down from the large man's bullets
"Heh already got one, baby!" cheered the soldier as he continued to fight back against the grubs. The other two soldiers had taken cover behind a fallen column laying in the street. From what Natsu could see when he took the time to look around was this whole city was a wreck. There were burned out cars and buildings, some of which had collapsed across some streets. Shattered windows in blown out stores, craters and holes everywhere...and the smell. With his enhanced Dragon senses he could smell everything within miles. It was bad...very bad...he could smell the rotting bodies, the blood...the fear of those dying. That's what was making his temper rise, the cries of terror of people he couldn't even see.
"Hey kid, you alright" asked Baird as he continued to fire at the few remaining grubs in the street.
"Yeah, I'm fine" replied Natsu in a cold voice as he turned to look at the blonde soldier. That's when he saw one of those 'grubs" climb out through a store window not even 10 feet from their location. While the other grubs had brought rifles, pistols and shotguns to fight the four soldiers. This one had a weird tank on its back with a hose leading to some odd two-handed weapon, and at the tip of this weapon was fire. Baird and the others didn't see this new enemy until it was too late.
"OH SHIT! KID LOOK OUT! yelled the blonde soldier as natsu jumped in front of Baird and Cole. They could only watch in horror as this kid was completely enveloped in fire right before them.
"Damn kid, why'd you do that" yelled one the soldiers. But before the grub could fire off another fireball something amazing happened.
"Slurp, Slurp, Gulp"
"You know, despite you being a murdering monster, these flames dont taste that bad" replied Natsu as he finished inhaling the last of the flames into his mouth before grinning back at the flame carrying monster.
"Now, it's my turn" stated Natsu as he lit both his hands on fire.
"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" shouted natsu as he combined the fire from his two hands into one fireball before launching it at the lone grub soldier...needless to say the only thing left was ashes. Hell he blew up 3 of the surrounding buildings too.
"Whoops, guess i used too much' as he rubbed his neck sheepishly before turning around to face the four soldiers.
"Kid...what the FUCK did you just do! You just ATE and SHOT fire! exclaimed Baird "Hell"he continued "You should be a pile of ash right now! he yelled as he poked Natsu in the chest.
"First of all. Your welcome for saving your asses. as he slapped Baird's hand away.
"Two I'm a Fire Dragon Slayer meaning no matter how hot they are i can eat flames, not be burned by fire, and use it in any of my magic attacks" replied natsu with a smirk as he looked at the four shocked soldiers.
"As much as i would like to stay and chat fellas, we need to get to the raven before they leave without us. Otherwise its game over for all of us baby"stated Cole as he reloaded his weapon.
"Yeah" replied Baird as he and the others quickly ran down the street with Natsu in the center of their group. They quickly made it the Raven a few minutes later.
"Alright ladies climb aboard" stated Baird in a light teasing tone as the others climbed into the cabin.
"Are there any untis left in the city?" asked Baird as he climbed into his seat before strapping in.
"A couple" replied the pilot "they wont make it in time though. Hoffman's ordered everybody to leave now. In less than 10 minutes they're gonna fire the Hammer since there are 10's of thousands of locust still in the city." finished the pilot before he started to lift the King Raven into the air taking them away from the city.
For the first time Natsu got to see the city where he ended up. It was massive, the city was easily 10 times the size of Magnolia and that city had close to 100,000 people living there.
"How many people live in that city?" Natsu asked one of the helmeted men.
"Before the war, i think close to 3 million. Now though who knows, not like it's gonna matter in a few minutes anyway" he responded sadly.
"Why, what happens in a few minutes?" asked Natsu
"You'll see" replied the soldier
A few minutes later
"Brace yourselves!" yelled the pilot "it's gonna get bumpy" Natsu was still looking at the city... a third was already consumed in flames with tracers lighting the sky and explosions seemed to happen every few seconds. That's when he looked up and saw an odd orange ,red glow above the clouds. Moments later, a pillar of brilliant light struck the city center and slowly pushed a wall of fire outwards in an ever expanding circle.
"Its so horrible... I cant look away though" thought Natsu in horrid fascination as he watched buildings vaporize and topple from the approaching firestorm. That's when he realized something horrible."People were still down there in the city, weren't there? asked Natsu with tears in his eyes.
"yeah kid, there must've been thousands maybe tens of thousands trapped in Char when the hammer dropped" answered Baird with a tired voice.
"It's because of those locust things right?" asked Natsu
"Yeah kid, our world was at peace before E-Day" answered Baird.
"Then I'm gonna train to get strong enough to kill every one of these montsters" shouted Natsu with iron in his voice as he looked around the cabin.
"Ohh thats right Natsu baby, time to play for the winning team! shouted Cole with a warm smile as he looked at Natsu.
"Welcome to the war kid" said Baird before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.
The camera slowly pans out to see a large air armada of Ravens flying to a city in the distance while a massive convoy of vehichles cross the land on the few intact roads leading out of the now ruined city of Char.
Well thats my first ever fanfiction chapter! Hopefully its somewhat decent
Later the happy
