What's up guys! I'm back with a fourth story. Why? I want to do it. It's fun. This will be Fairy Tail, but that's why you clicked this story. Anyway, I want to tell you this. Natsu will be over powered, but I have a reason. I feel in canon, that he is weak and is really stupid. A good fighter, but weak. Also, I will really power up most of the large enemies like Mard Geer and Acnologia and basically everyone that isn't human. So, people like Erza or Gray will be stronger, but they won't be as powered up as Natsu or other enemies in this story. I will change the story a lot, so expect changes. Large events that are important for character development like Tower of Haven and Tenrou will stay, things like Deloria won't though. ON with the chapter! What kind of powers should Natsu have, and specifically Dragon slayer magic?
Natsu glanced around trying to find his father. It was often that he disappeared for days on end. This time though, was a game of hide and seek. An eight-year-old child has to have some sort of fun, right? Natsu closed his eyes and tried to focus on his sense of smell. Natsu's eyes snapped open and he raced off. Natsu ran for a good five minutes before coming to a small large clearing. Natsu eyes immediately registered his father, Igneel, and one other dragon. Said dragon had black scales, red lines running along his body, and one large white crest on his chest, spreading from his torso to the base of his wings.
"Dad. Who is this?" Natsu asked.
"You need not worry, Child. I have no name, not anymore at least," the dragon said.
"Natsu, it has been foretold that you will be put through hell and back again, literally," Igneel said.
"But why are you here?" Natsu asked innocently.
"I've decided that you will be the only exception to our rule for dragon slayers and their respective dragons," the other dragon spoke.
"Rule?" Natsu asked, "What rule?"
"Well Natsu, there are other dragon slayers like you, and they have dragons like you. Whence they mastered their slayer arts, the dragons would leave. Specifically, on the date of July 7, 777," Igneel said.
"That is today though," Natsu said worriedly, "You're not leaving me are you?"
"No child, as we said, you will be the only exception to this rule due to your specific nature. You see Natsu, you will be the savior of us, or our destruction. We've seen what you shall face, and it has been decreed that you will be our only exception," the dragon said, "You will come to our… realm as you would call it. You shall be trained extensively by multiple dragons, but one main dragon. Our dragon of Apocalypse."
"But isn't that Acnologia?" Natsu asked.
"No Natsu, that abomination is a pseudodragon. He should not exist. He is no real dragon, but you will be, in time," Igneel said, "He was once a dragon slayer, trained by the true dragon of Apocalypse. The true dragon is far more powerful, as are the rest of us. That magic had to be taught to him somehow."
12 years later
"Natsu, it is time for you to depart," Igneel said.
"I know," Natsu said.
"Don't forget though, you are allowed to visit at any time, you know how to get back," Igneel said before disappearing.
"Guess it had to happen sometime," Natsu said to himself, "I've had so little time around my own species."
Natsu had been training nonstop for the past twelve years. It had been exhilarating to learn so much. Natsu now knew five regular dragon slayer arts, three lost arts, two king arts, and one of his own. Of course, two of the five regular arts had no combat use, the most powerful lost art was inaccessible unless he was an actual dragon, which he wasn't yet, and the one of his own would be inaccessible to him until he found the book of E.N.D.
Natsu already knew what he was, and he honestly didn't care. He did want to find his brother though. It would be nice when he could finally save him from his curse. Natsu eventually got up from his perch in the tree and walked through the forest. Natsu walked around aimlessly before finding a sign of civilization. Natsu walked forward until he reached a giant gate with the words Magnolia written on it. Natsu entered the large city and wandered around.
Natsu had grown used to suppressing all of his magical energy in order to stay hidden better. With magic pools the size of oceans, it could be extremely overwhelming for anyone, even regular citizens. Natsu ambled around for a good hour before finally finding a large building. His acute sense of smell could smell all of the alcohol, something he had a penchant for. He couldn't get drunk due to his main element, fire dragon slaying magic. It burned off all of the alcohol before he could feel it, but it tasted really good.
Natsu opened the door and immediately got hit in the head with a table. Natsu looked around and saw the destruction. Perfect! Natsu was good at a good many things, but none so much as destruction. He loved to destroy things. Natsu briefly registered the person flying towards him. Natsu reached out and snagged his shirt and stopped him from flying out of the hall. He was a big man, a muscle-bound freak if one had to describe him. Easily standing at 6'9, which was tall. Natsu was 6'1 with unruly pink- sorry, salmon- hair which was quite tall, with the hair making him even taller. Eyes snapped towards the new person in the guild who had easily caught the heaviest person in the guild.
"He caught Elfman…" someone muttered.
"So that's your name?" Natsu asked to the person he caught.
"Finally! A REAL MAN!" Elfman shouted loudly causing Natsu to wince.
"Names Natsu."
"Well, Natsu, welcome to Fairy Tail!" a person shouted.
Natsu set Elfman down and walked over to the bar. He planned on ordering a nice bottle of beer, but maybe that was too much to ask.
"Hello, my name's Mirajane, call me Mira," a bubbly voice came from behind the counter. The owner of said bubbly voice had silver hair and was extremely beautiful.
"Natsu."
"Are you here to join the guild?" Mira asked.
"Why not," Natsu thought to himself before responding, "Yes."
"Alrighty now. Where and what color should your guild mark go?" Mira asked.
"Can I have it red on my right bicep?" Natsu asked.
"OF course," Mira said as she pressed the hot stamp onto his arm. A second later, it was pulled back and revealed a large red stamp.
"Now that this is done, can I get your strongest alcohol?" Natsu asked.
"Are you sure?" Mira asked, "It's nearly fifty-six percent alcohol."
"Pretty strong, but yes. It's literally impossible for me to get drunk," Natsu said happily.
A second or two later, Natsu had a large jug placed in front of him, foaming amber liquid in front of him. Natsu drained it in a few gulps and let out a content sigh. Natsu looked around and saw that Mirajane was looking at him.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Well, I was wondering. You joined a mage's guild, but we have no idea what kind of magic you use," Mira said.
"I better keep the others a secret and down play my skills," Natsu thought.
"Well, I use a lost magic. Dragon slayer magic," Natsu said, "Specifically fire dragon slayer magic."
"That's interesting, I've heard of slayer magic, but not much," Mira said.
"Yeah, I was raised by a dragon," Natsu said.
"Really?" Mira asked.
"Yeah, his name was Igneel, he's pretty awesome!" Natsu said happily, cracking a large grin.
"Where is he now?" Mira asked.
"He's… I'm not really sure," Natsu half lied. He kinda knew, like the general area, just no exactly where.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Mira said.
"Oh it's fine, I can always find him," Natsu said happily, "So… where is there to stay?"
"Do you have jewels?" Mira asked.
"I have enough sitting around," Natsu said.
"Well, there are a few places around town. Some are higher end and cost a lot. OF course, I would recommend buying your own place," Mira said.
"Actually, I've never really been one for a house, I prefer the forest," Natsu said.
"Well, there are plenty around the guild, so you can always stay there," Mira said.
"That is true," Natsu said.
"So do you plan on going to do any jobs?" Mira asked.
"Well, I've just arrived, and I haven't spent much time as a true mage. So… I'm not entirely sure what to do," Natsu said.
"Alright, I got it. So there are multiple levels of jobs. You have the normal level which can be completed without much issue. Then there are the S-class jobs. These can last as long as a year, and are very difficult. Then you have SS-class jobs that are also known as decade quests. They are rarely completed, mostly left to Guild aces and Wizard Saints.
Lastly, you have the SSS-class jobs. They are the hardest, and only the Ishgar 4 and five other people are considered able to return alive, much less complete them. Only two people have ever completed them, God Serena and our Guild Ace. He is currently on one as we…" Mira said before being cut off by a large siren.
"Warning! Gildarts Shift has now commenced. All citizens must return to their homes immediately," a voice rang out loudly as the entire city began to rumble and shake as entire sections of it were moved to accommodate for Gildarts.
Suddenly the rumbling stopped for a second, only for a wall to crumble into small cubes and a path of white energy headed straight towards the bar. The flooring behind the blast becoming cubes. Everyone stared in horror as it headed straight towards the new guy. Natsu glanced over from his conversation with Mira to see it. Natsu casually placed his hand out and stopped the blast, not even moving as the force of the blast stopping forced most of the things behind him to shatter or crumble. Natsu promptly went back to his conversation with Mira. The rest of the guild just gaped and a few passed out. Mira had turned around so she had no idea what had happened. It was normal for a blast like that to come tearing through when Gildarts arrived.
"I'm back!" a cheerful voice rang out from the destroyed wall. Said figure had orange hair and blue eyes and wore a black tattered cloak and grey clothes.
"Gildarts! How's it been?" Natsu cried out upon seeing his friend.
"Natsu?" Gildarts asked as he raced over to Natsu, small tremors going off every time he took a step.
"How's it been old man?" Natsu asked.
"A lot better since you staved off that beast with me," Gildarts said, "That would be my second century quest, and it was a success too. I get to keep my perfect record."
"Hey Gildarts," Mira said as she appeared behind the counter, "You know Natsu?"
"Hell yeah!" he shouted, "Who do you think helped me with my quest."
"You just said it was some kid with salmon hair and… Oh never mind," Mira said.
"Yeah, we met on our mission, and traveled around for bit. He taught me crash magic," Natsu said.
"Are you finally done with your training?" Gildarts asked Natsu.
"Actually, I got done a day ago and came here on accident," Natsu said, "We still have a bet you know."
"I know, the score is 2-3, in my favor. You ready to lose?" Gildarts taunted.
"I can't wait. I'm all fired up!" Natsu yelled. Natsu registered a small, white haired man land on the bar.
"Ah, Gildarts," he said before noticing Natsu, "And New kid, names Makarov. I'm the guild master."
"Natsu. Natsu Dragneel," Natsu laughed.
"Gildarts, we need to talk," Makarov said.
"Gildarts can I come too?" Natsu asked like an innocent child.
"No child, you can-" Makarov said before Gildarts silenced him.
"That would actually be a good idea Makarov, we need to talk," Gildarts said.
"Fine, office," he said.
Everyone sat in Makarov's office and they looked at each other before getting down to business.
"Look, Makarov, the century quest was a success," Gildarts said.
"You mean to tell me you were actually able to fend of Acnologia?" Makarov asked.
"No, I wasn't," Gildarts said.
"Then how were you able to beat him?" Makarov asked.
"If you would have let me finish," Gildarts sighed, "Look, I wasn't able to, but one other person was able to. Natsu Dragneel. Three years ago. It wasn't victory, but a draw. I wasn't even able to damage him, but Natsu, he was able to nearly kill Acnologia, but Acnologia almost killed Natsu in the process as well."
"You mean to tell me this brat is stronger than you?" Makarov asked staring at Natsu.
"No," Natsu piped up, "I was below Gildarts three years ago and got lucky two of the five times we battled. I was only able to draw with Acnologia because of my magic. I have dragon slayer magic. Fire dragon slayer magic, but dragon slayer magic. I was taught by the fire dragon kind Igneel, and trained for nearly sixteen years."
"You're leaving something out Natsu," Gildarts said.
"Can I trust him," Natsu asked. Gildarts nodded.
"I can use more than one dragon slayer art though. I have four others," Natsu half-lied. He couldn't give away all of his secrets.
The chat went on for a few hours before everyone got finished with their business and went their separate ways.
A week later
"Natsu," Mira asked, "You need a job yet?"
"Yeah, I was going to get one. Do you want to come with me?" Natsu asked, "That way you can show me the ins and outs of these jobs."
"I would, but I… I don't have any magic anymore," Mira said, tears lining her eyes.
"Yes you do. I can feel it right now," Natsu said, "You locked it. I can unlock it if you want."
"Very much," Mira said.
"Alright then. Just grab a job and meet me in the woods east of here," Natsu said.
Hey guys. Do you want the paring to be Natsu x Mira or Natsu x Erza? Those are the only two that I will do in this story. Or Both? I guess I can work that in.
