This is my first FTxDxD fanfic and quite frankly I have no idea why I started it the way I did but hey I guess I just went with it well just because I could. If any of you are wondering yes this fanfic will contain Issei and he will have his sacred gear but I'll be including Natsu a little more differently than what I've read before in other fanfics like I'm going to change various things and no this will not be a harem cause well that's Issei's job and dream so let him keep it. Anyway I hope you guys enjoy.
Cheers erupted all over Crocus as they watched they eclipse portal explode in a magnificent display of crimson red and orange flames, Natsu Dragneel had saved the world from the threat of the eclipse dragons with some help from hundreds of guild wizards, six dragonslayers and an old friend of Igneel's but he had finally defeated the future version of Rogue and destroyed the eclipse portal meaning neither he nor the dragons had a method of traveling to this timeline and would be sent back to their own.
This could be seen as the dragons, the draconian offspring created by mother glare and future Rogue's bodies began to glow a gold colour and started to fade into a gold dust like substance. "Natsu Dragneel I shall never forget you son of Igneel" a deep voice said behind Natsu causing to turn around and see a dragon composed of crimson red and brilliant yellow fire "Yeah, thanks uncle" Natsu said in an exhausted voice as the fire dragon like the others began to turn into gold dust.
"Ugh…" Natsu couldn't hold on anymore, all the injuries he had sustained were really taking their toll on his body. Before his face could get acquainted with his old friend concrete he felt two arms wrap around him. "Hang on I got you" he heard a strong feminine voice say, "Erza?" Natsu asked unable to see the person, "close but no" the voice said before laying Natsu down gently on the ground causing him to widen his eyes, "Kagura?" Natsu said but it sounded more like a question as if he wasn't sure.
"Yeah that's me now shut up your badly hurt and I'm not gonna have you dying after saving all of us" Kagura said in a very Erza like manner causing Natsu to shrink in pain "Aye Sir" Natsu replied in his Happy impression. Kagura tended to Natsu's injuries as best she could which thankfully was infinitely much better than Erza's abilities, however she wasn't able to stop the bleeding in some on the more severe wounds specifically the X-shaped laceration just above Natsu's left hip. Luckily Wendy and Chelia as well as the other Guild Wizards came along "Natsu you're hurt here let me help you" Wendy said as she skidded to a halt before a bright blue glow emanated from her hands and started to heal Natsu's injuries, "I'll help too" Chelia said as she got down beside Wendy and a dark pink glow emanated from her hands also healing Natsu's injuries.
Soon enough Natsu was back on his two feet "Aw man I feel a whole lot better thanks you two, thanks Kagura" Natsu said with his trademark grin before he turned to face what was left of the Eclipse portal when he felt a lot of magic power coming from it. Before anyone could ask Natsu what was wrong they noticed the faint golden glow that surrounded the dragons was shining through the rubble but had also engulfed Natsu as well. "What the hell is happening to me, I'm not from the past or future?" Natsu shouted as he looked at his palms which were slowly fading just like Atlas flame did.
"Natsu what's happening to you?" Erza asked in fear as she hobbled over to Natsu on her bad ankle, Natsu only looked at her with a 'what the fuck' expression on his face, "How the fuck would I know? I'm just as confused as you!" Natsu shouted before noticing that his hands and half his legs had completely disappeared, "Oh crap come on gramps there's gotta be something you can do right?" Natsu turned to the old guild master with hope evident in his eyes, however Makarov was just a confuzzled as everyone else present "I'm sorry Natsu I don't know what's going on et along what to do" the old man said, his voice had a hint of sorrow as he could only assume the worst for the boy.
Wendy went to reach her hand out towards Natsu who was little more than a head and a torso now, "Wendy don't touch me or it might start happening to you too" Natsu said to the younger slayer who swiftly retracted her hand but had tears in her eyes, "But, but what's gonna happen to you, I don't want you to die" the bluenette said, sorrow evident in her voice as she was only able to choke out the words. "I don't know Wendy, I don't want to die either, I want to see you grow up and get stronger, so do that for me will you. Get stronger than everyone her, stronger than Mira, Erza, Gramps, Laxus, Gildarts and especially me. You've got the ability to do so much Wendy, you could be so much stronger than you are if you just believe in yourself so get stronger for me and for Fairytail" Natsu said in a caring tone before giving his usual toothy grin to which Wendy just nodded.
"Natsu you can't die, you're my best friend, who's gonna take me fishing and catch me fish. Who's gonna go on missions with me and have crazy adventures with me huh?" Happy said in a mixture of anger and sadness, as the exceed allowed his tears to flow freely, "Sorry buddy I don't have an answer for you, but I'm sure there'll be someone in Fairytail who knows how to do all that stuff, remember to pull you weight around the guild buddy, there probably someone in the guild who needs an awesome partner like you" Natsu said as in a calm manner even though his body was rapidly disappearing and was up to his neck now, "Nothing left to say but remember guys to live your lives to the fullest for me" Natsu started but his words became more echoed as he completely disappeared causing the guilds wizards to bow their heads in respect but caused the Fairytail wizards to break down into fits of tears and sobbing even some of the hard-core members like Gajeel, Gray and Laxus.
The underworld
Currently we find ourselves in the underworld with a tall man seated in a chair surrounded by stacks, sorry mountains of paper work, he is in an English style room that gives off an office like feel to it. The man has long wild crimson red hair, wearing what appears to be armour and a long flowing cape. Right now the man has face planted his large wooden desk and so he can muffling his screams showing how fed up he is.
To the man left stands a tall woman with long silver hair done in a braid, she had light blue eyes, a large bust and was wearing a French maid outfit that fitted her curvaceous figure nicely. "Grayfia I don't want to do this stupid paper work" the man winged like a spoilt child as he looked up towards the maid anime tears streaming from his face. "Lord Sirszech these 'stupid' papers are vital for maintaining the 72 pillars of the underworld and as such you will do them" the now known Grayfia said addressing the man child in to her side who was in fact one of the four great Maou. "You know Grayfia I get that you feel indebted to my family but you're my wife so you shouldn't have to do this because of…" Sirszech started but the icy cold aura his wife was giving off silenced him.
"But Grayfia can't do them later? I want to see Rias, she said she has some ideas for some new pawn and my interests have been peaked" the red haired Satan asked causing his wife to grit her teeth, while they were married and was sworn to serve the Gremory family she found that Sirszech's affection towards his sister to be a bit to open, and it was often widely circulated through the underworld that he was a major sis-con, so the mention of the younger Gremory was a touchy subject for Grayfia although she never outwardly showed it.
Before Sirszech could continue he started to walk over to the window of his castle when he noticed an ominous glow in the distance that peaked his interests. "Hmm wonder what that is? Looks like a lot of fire but what could cause that much?" Sirszech pondered as he placed his hand upon his chin. "Grayfia I believe we need to investigate" the crimson Satan said as he began walking out of the room, knowing she wasn't winning this fight didn't bother arguing and sighed in exasperation before following him.
20 minutes later
It didn't take them long to reach their destination, they thanked that the fire wasn't too near Lilith and so it didn't attract too much attention but upon seeing Sirszech and the underworlds strongest queen any unwanted bystanders fled. Much to Sirszech's relief the blaze seemed to be controlled to within quite a deep crater but this only raised the question as to what could create one of such a size, the obvious choices were either a dragon or a devil of considerable power. Whatever it was both Sirszech and Grayfia had to admit the flames were fierce, it was at this moment that Grayfia managed to make out something within the flames.
"Lord Sirszech there's something in the fire but I'm not sure what it is" Grayfia said with uncertainty but her eyes widened as did Sirszech's when they managed to make out the standing shape of a human body of average height who had begun walking towards them. They took a few unsure steps back not really sure what to expect, but it was probably something along the lines of a half charred melted body. However much to their surprised the person, a man emerged from the flames with spikey pink hair…oh and he was unharmed.
"Ugh…where in the hell am I" the man said as he rubbed the back of his head before open his eyes and taking in the sight of the charred crater he was in as well as Sirszech and Grayfia in front of him. "Excuse would you mind telling me where I am?" the man asked snapping the two out of their daze, "Would you please introduce yourself first before we answer your question?" Grayfia replied in a strong tone which caused the man to shiver, "Sorry my bad, my name is Natsu, Natsu Dragneel. Now can you please tell me where I am?" Natsu replied although he said the last part a bit more rudely than he intended to.
"Of course Natsu was it, well I am Sirszech Gremory and this is Grayfia Lucifage my wife, we are Devils and you Natsu are in the Underworld" Sirszech said in a serious tone as both he a Grayfia revealed their bat like wings. "Wait if I'm in the underworld then….I REALLY DID DIE!" Natsu shouted before he started panic trying to remember everything that happened, "Natsu calm down just because you're in the underworld it doesn't men your dead, I assure you me and Grayfia are very much alive, there're are entire towns of living people here in the underworld. If you come with us back to my castle I'm pretty sure we can figure out what ever it is that is going on" Sirszech said before offering Natsu his hand making Natsu think for a bit about his words but then again he didn't really have anything to lose.
Natsu took Sirszech hand before the crimson Maou helped him out of the crater, then Grayfia took his other hand before another quick 20 minute flight back to Gremory castle. Natsu's arrival at the Gremory household with Grayfia and Sirszech got him strange looks from some of the workers there and even from some who managed to spot them on the way to the household. "Now, now who do we have here?" a woman with shoulder length light brown hair, violet eyes and a large bust said in a surprised tone. She was wearing a long white dress with brown sleeves and around her neck she wore a jewelled necklace of sorts.
"Mother this is Natsu Dragneel we found him when we were investigating a peculiar fire we came across him. Natsu this is my mother Lady Velena Gremory" Sirszech said before introducing the two, "What! You're his mother you must have been like, um…really young because well you still look really young" Natsu said with a gobsmacked expression causing Lady Gremory to laugh, "Flattery won't get you anywhere or maybe it just might" Velena replied with a smile but whispered the last part not knowing about Natsu's advanced hearing who tried his best to keep his composure knowing what she may be implying. "It's a pleasure to meet you" Natsu said as respectfully as 'he' could remembering how he had been taught to greet officials and people of important social standing by Makarov while also offering his toothy grin causing Velena to smile before she started circling around Natsu, which to himself and the other two looked as if she was either inspecting him or checking him out.
"Not bad. It's a pleasure to meet you Natsu I'm sure my son has made it clear that we are devils to you to avoid any future shocks" (A/N: I know I've made her out of character but hey it would be boring if she was completely in character right plus I might not even be thinking of the right character but oh well) Lady Gremory said in an amused tone before winking at Natsu causing Natsu to awkwardly laugh, Sirszech to face palm at his mother's antics and Grayfia to drag away a rather flirtatious Lady Gremory. Don't get Natsu wrong he found Lady Gremory very attractive but he just felt really awkward having someone's mother who was still present flirt with him then and there.
"Well now that 'that' embarrassment is taken care of we can explain everything to each other from our perspectives to get a better understanding of one another, that way it may be possible for me to help you plus I'm a little curious as to how a human could survive walking through fire without so much as a burn on him. But we'll hold off on that until later, right now I'm sure you're hungry so I will show to one of our guest chambers where you can get changed, after that Grayfia or someone else will come fetch when dinner is ready then you can tell me about yourself so if you'd follow me" Sirszech said in an exhausted tone as he was not a fan of his mother's antics even if he knew she was only joking. Sirszech ran a hand through his hair as he lead Natsu through the various corridors of the Gremory household which was more like a castle because it made the king of Crocus' castle look small in comparison.
After entering the guest room Natsu saw that it bore a striking resemble to some of the designs of the clients he had worked for in the past, it was then his thoughts were drawn back to Fairytail "I hope you guys are okay, I'll come back I swear. I just need to find out where exactly Fiore is" Natsu thought before he noticed a pile of neatly folded clothes on the large bed in his room, "They really don't expect me to where this do them?" Natsu asked himself as he lay his soon to be worn suit out on the bed, he guess that he would be able to wear singed and blood stained clothes in a place like this seeing as they were being kind enough to provide for him. "Got no choice" Natsu said in an exhausted tone before Natsu started his most epic battle yet, putting on a suit.
Gremory Dining Room
Everyone watched in awe, shock and disgust as Natsu literally inhaled enough food to feed a small village they could only wonder where the slayer placed all his food or if he actually possessed a black hole instead of a stomach. "Um…so Natsu how about you explain to us how you found yourself in that flaming crater practically unharmed?" Sirszech asked deciding it was best to break the awkward silence.
Natsu swallowed an excessively large amount of food before deciding to answer, "Well last thing I remember was fighting a bunch of dragons in the capital of Fiore" Natsu said but only received a mixture of dead panned and shocked faces from those present "Dragons?! Fiore?!" "Natsu I believe you're going to need to be a bit clearer, let's start by where exactly you're from shall we?" Sirszech said causing Natsu to tilt his head in confusion, yes he knew he was in the underworld but he'd have thought that even here they'd know what Fiore was.
Natsu then began his detailed or as detailed as he could offer explanation of who he was and where he was from which needless to say left the devils quite surprised and shocked. When Natsu revealed that he was a mage or in devil terms a magician from a world called Earthland in a continent known as Fiore full of these mages they were moderately surprised but it for Sirszech and Grayfia it explained why he was unharmed in the flames, but when Natsu revealed that he was human as were a majority of the others where he was from they were slightly overwhelmed.
Natsu however just kept bringing out the surprises because when Grayfia brought up the subject of the dragon's again it caused herself and the other devils to possibly wonder what magic a human magician could possess to fight a dragon as even some of the lower class dragons in the underworld could be as strong as some of the mid-level super class devils. Natsu responded simply as if it was an everyday common thing that he was a dragonslayer and that his magic was specifically known a fire dragonslayer magic and that he was raised by the King of the Fire Dragons Igneel.
This lead to Natsu explaining to what abilities being a dragonslayer gave him, what other magic he had and talking about dragonslayer magic in more depth, hearing about this got Sirszech extremely curious and Grayfia knew the look that was on his face right now. It was one that stated 'I have a cunning plan'. Sirszech desperately wanted to see how powerful Natsu was or if he as strong as he said he was, despite being human he claimed to have a lot of magical power but Sirszech couldn't sense any magic power. However Sirszech could sense something but it wasn't what he would associate with magic, none the less it was powerful and it further intrigued his interest when whatever it was actually stopped him from sensing any further. If Sirszech could have described or compared it to anything it felt dangerous, powerful, and primal and above all else, it exuded a nature of pure domination and destruction.
"Well that's everything I know and remember now can you please explain to me what is going on?" Natsu said in a fed up tone before pouring himself a drink and taking a drink from, "You drink?" Lady Gremory asked curiously to which Natsu nodded, "Yeah, where I worked in fact im nearly sure it was the same across the country once you turned 16 you were of legal age to drink and after a long week of jobs, pay cuts for blowing stuff up and 'that' it helps. I never ever really knew my real father and Igneel left me as a kid so Gildarts was really like my second dad, he mightn't have been around that much but we had fun I remember I had my first drink with him when I was 14 because he was going on a gob that would take him a couple of years so we did before he left, not the best idea on my part but I wouldn't have traded it for anything in Earthland" Natsu said before scratching the back of his head causing the devils to laugh before Sirszech began explaining things from his perspective.
To his surprise Natsu didn't freak out like he was expecting him to when he told him he was in a completely different world and even further to his surprise Natsu told him he had already been to another world called Edolas which was the opposite of Earthland with very limited magic supplies. Sirszech continued on to tell Natsu about the war between the fallen angel, devil and angel/church factions and the three different worlds, however it was then that Sirszech moved onto more grim news when he told Natsu he knew of no way to return him to his home land himself but it may be possible at a future time.
Immediately this got Natsu depressed at hearing the slim possibility of being able to see his friends and family not to mention getting back to Earthland to search for Igneel. It was at this time however that Sirszech came up with a plan most cunning that could allow him to see the extent of Natsu's abilities. "Natsu i have a proposition for you, you require a place to stay and while I'm sure my mother would be more than willing to allow you to stay here at Gremory manner it just wouldn't look good so instead I shall provide you with your own living accommodations and money in the human world as well as the knowledge to live there while remaining undetected as a user of magic. I do however have one condition" Sirszech said with his arms folded across his chest as he stared at Natsu.
"That's okay as much as I enjoy your mother's company I wouldn't want to impose" Natsu said in sheepish manner causing Sirszech to smirk and Lord Gremory to sigh, "Oh nonsense Natsu you can stay here for as long as I….I mean you desire" Velena swiftly corrected herself causing Natsu to fake a laugh along with her son. "Anyway about that condition?" Natsu asked regaining the attention of the crimson haired Satan. "Ah yes well do you recall the evil piece system I told you about and how devils use them to build powerful peerages in order to become high class devil?" Sirszech asked to which Natsu nodded in understanding allowing him to continue "Well my sister is currently building her own peerage, she has a total of just three members and is planning on adding a fourth but by devil standards this is extremely low. My sister Rias Gremory along with other devils and humans attend Kuoh academy, I simply wish for you to attend this school and watch over her and make sure she's doing okay, as one of the four great Maou I am unable to do so myself so you being there could act as my eyes, I don't wish for you to protect her as such more like I want you to keep an eye on her" Sirszech said with closed eyes while Natsu just took everything in with a plain expression until Sirszech mentioned school.
"Natsu, are you ok, Natsu?" Grayfia asked as she looked at the practically frozen slayer, "So this school or academy thing I suppose that would mean that would involve some sort of super strict lessons or something?" Natsu questioned timidly as he sunk further down into his chair with each word causing the devils around him to burst into laughter. "Not at all Natsu we wouldn't have time for such ordeals, the new academy year starts in 2 days and even with Grayfia and my wife we'd need at least a week to physically teach you everything you need to know" Lord Gremory said the humour still evident in his laughter, this caused Natsu to breathe a sigh of relief before straightening up in his chair.
"No Natsu what we plan to do is simply implant the basic knowledge of human society on Earth into your brain to give you an overall understanding so if you'll sit still and let Grayfia literally work her magic" Sirszech said before Grayfia got up to move behind Natsu before placing both her hands at the sides of the slayer's head. "Relax and try not to think of anything" Grayfia said before an icy cold blue glow emulated from her hands surrounding Natsu's head. "Done" the maid's emotionless voice sounded out causing Natsu to open his eyes, he couldn't believe how similar the effects of Grayfia's spell was to that of Hibiki's Archive magic, "Wow some of the stuff here in earth is pretty similar to Earthland but the most of it is very different, it's gonna take some getting used to" Natsu said before taking a drink to clear his head.
"Good now that were done with that all you need to now Natsu is that you shouldn't have to interfere with my sister's affairs, if her and her peerage do get in trouble and they look like they require some assistance I would appreciate your help. You should be able to tell who my sister is, after what you've told me your sense are capable of it shouldn't be a problem but just in case just look for the crimson red hair. There isn't much more to talk about except that you'll need to be wary of fallen angels, stray devils and priests, Grayfia will take you to your new residence tomorrow so you can get acquainted with the area before the new school term, any questions?" Sirszech asked with a faint smile as he stood up out of his seat as did Natsu.
"Out of curiosity what if your sister and her peerage were too attack me?" Natsu asked shocking the devils having not suspected such a question, they had got an idea of Natsu's character from his brief story but his was still unpredictable. The crimson Maou placed his hand on his chin getting into a thinking pose before shrugging his shoulders, "Well of course you retain the right to defend yourself providing it's nothing fatal" Sirszech said as he picked up his cup of drink with Natsu doing the same, "don't worry killing isn't exactly my still. I'll accept your offer, ain't as if I got anywhere better to be right? Now let's party!" Natsu started in a calm tone as himself and Sirszech clinked glasses before shouting the last part in unison and wrapping their arms around each other.
Cheers and shouts could be heard coming from the Gremory dining hall as Natsu taught the Gremorys how to party Fairytail style, Natsu Sirszech and Lord Gremory were having a Magnificent time, drink in hand arms wrapped around each other singing arm in arm but like all good things they must come to an end and Natsu was going to experience both Sirszech and Lord Gremory's terror. Natsu experienced first-hand the true terror that is a very drunken Grayfia and Lady Gremory, despite being very powerful devils the smallest amount of alcohol intoxicated them and severely impaired there judgement, if Natsu could compare this experience to anything it would probably be what he would have imagined it would have been like to receiving divine punishment from both Erza and Mirajane at the exact same time at a X3 level.
Luckily being a dragonslayer had the perks of having a stronger than usual body but that being said he was still very sore and caused some of the servant to stare at his limping form the next morning who when asked him what was wrong he simply replied that he was attacked by a vicious flight of stairs and that's all that was said on the matter.
Well what were thoughts on my first chapter I thought it was a bit iffy because I didn't really get anywhere and it was more of a prologue set up chapter thing if you know what I mean? The idea for this was really a spur of the moment thing and I started writing it causing I was bored during my Christmas break like a lot of my other ideas most of which are still on paper, anyway let me know what you thought in a review or pm or something thank you.
