Chapter 1: Strange new world

East Forest, Earthland x791: Natsu Dragneel and his flying blue furry companion, happy, have heard another rumor about natsu's foster father, igneel, the fire dragon king, was somewhere in this area, so they went to investigate. They trudged through the forest as natsu had an annoyed expression on his face.

"You've already gotten us lost haven't ya?" Natsu asked irritably as he followed the blue exceed.

"I didn't get us lost, I know exactly where we're goin'!" Happy snapped.

"Oh yeah, then would you mind tellin' me where?!" Natsu snapped back as he kept following.

"My memory's a little foggy, but I remember lisanna tellin' us that she heard a roar coming from a nearby cave here." Happy explained

"Well there are plenty of caves here… so yeah, I think we're good." Natsu replied

"Aye!" Happy replied cheerfully. They kept walking down the pathway until they came across a large, spooky cave and they stopped in their tracks.

"Yo happy, you think this is the place." Natsu asked with curiosity.

"Aye, sure looks like it." Happy replied. They then walked into the cave and it suddenly gotten darker, so natsu ignites fire from his hand so they can see where they're going. They started to look around, when they looked up, they saw sleeping bats on the cave pillars woke up and flew out the cave. As they kept walking, they saw a bright, shining light coming from a nearby tunnel, as they went through, they saw shining rock pillars and suddenly stopped in their tracks and their eyes slightly widen.

Whoa…/whoa…" They both said in awe.

"Happy… what the hell is this?" Natsu said in a mixture of curiosity and amazement.

I don't know natsu…but it looks pretty cool." Happy replied as they went further into the tunnel. They looked around to see if they could find igneel in here, they then saw something sleeping by the shining wall crystal, they assumed that it was igneel and ran towards it.

"IGNEEL! HEY IGNEEL! IT'S ME! NATSU!" He exclaimed in excitement as they ran towards it. However, they stopped as it began to wake up, it stood up, and roared, and it appears to be a Vulcan.

"RAAAAAAAAAWR! WHO DARES ENTER ME'S CAVE?!" The Vulcan roared in anger. Natsu on the other hand, was angered that the rumor was false again.

"Oi…looks like the rumor was totally bogus." Natsu deadpanned with noticeable venom in his voice.

"Aye, you said it natsu." Happy deadpanned

"RAAAAAAAAR! ME GONNA SQUASH YOU LIKE BUGS!" The Vulcan roared as it charged towards natsu and happy."

"BRING IT BANNANA BRAIN! I'M ALL FIRED UP!" Natsu shot back. He then cocked back his fist and then leapt at the Vulcan with great speed as his fire engulfed his fist.

"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" Natsu cried as he threw a blazing punch in the vulcan's face, sending it flying and crashing into the crystal wall, rendering it on the ground unconscious. Natsu then walked up to a pillar and shattered it with one punch.

"DAMN IT! I CAN'T BELIEVE I FELL FOR ANOTHER STUPID RUMOR!" Natsu said furiously. Happy then gave him a sympathetic look a s le landed on his shoulder.

Natsu I'm sorr… um, natsu." Before happy could apologize, he saw a bright light beaming through the cracks.

"Yeah happy, what's u…" Before Natsu could finish, he notices the same thing, they both went wide eyes. The light started flashing brighter and wind blew in their face and put their arms in and x position to protect their eyes from the blight light.

"WHAT THE HELL'S GOIN' ON?!" Natsu exclaimed.

"I DON'T KNOW!" "Happy exclaimed back, then, the light suddenly flashed and they both screamed at the top of their lungs. Natsu was the first one to wake up, he sat up and rubbed at the back of his head, he stopped then looked around to see nothing but trees, grass, bushes, and rocks, he then turns around to see happy who hasn't rendered consciousness as yet. He then starts to shake him lightly to wake him up.

"Oi happy, happy wake up." Natsu whispered as he shook him gently, happy then begins to render consciousness and sat up rubbing his eyes. He then starts to look around and notices the same thing natsu sees, he then looked at the pink haired dragon slayer and asked.

"Nastu, where are we?" Happy asked out of curiosity.

"I don't know little buddy, but somethin' tells me we ain't in fiore anymore." Natsu replied nonchalantly, they then started walking down the pathway through the forest. They scanned the area, which tells them that they're not in their home world anymore, as they kept walking, they notice that half of the forest was burned, singed, and several trees were uprooted. They started to here several screams up ahead, along with loud, trembling roars and then stopped walking then looked at each other.

"What the hell was that?" Natsu asked with wonder.

"I don't know, but it doesn't sound good." Happy replied as they began to run along the path and suddenly stop to notice a nearby village. It was nearly destroyed and they saw something flying in the sky, there were two, flying, serpent like creatures that were attacking the village and burning innocent villagers to ashes, they were breathing streams of fire and they figured they were dragons. Natsu couldn't help but grin wildly.

"Oi, ya ready to kick some ass happy?" Natsu asked with excitement while looking at the blue exceed.

"AYE SIR!" Happy replied as they headed right into the village that was being attacked to fight the dragons, natsu engulfed his fist in flames, cocked it back, and leapt through the air to strike one of the dragons.

"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" He cried as he struck on of the dragons in the dragons in the face. To be continued…
