I do NOT own fairy tail it belongs to Hiro Mashima

The Legend of Natsu

Chapter 1: Not enough time

~Warzone~

Fiore is in the middle of the war with the Spriggan 12 and Acnologia. The Spriggan 12 has teleported to the Fairy tail guildhall to use fairy heart and take over the world with its power (typical bad guy stuff). In the middle of the battlefield we see all of Fiore's strongest members (or just important characters and strong characters) recovering from the blinding light the Spriggan 12 used to teleport to the guild.

~Fairy tail guildhall~

Here in the middle of the guild we see Zeref and the rest of the Spriggan 12 members torturing Mavis until she breaks so they can take fairy heart.

"Tell us where it is Now!" Zeref yelled punching Mavis in the gut.

Mavis coughed up blood and said "I'll never tell you. I know they are coming, and they will stop you without a doubt."

"Sir should we torture one of her members until she talks." A man with chest length snow white hair tied in a ponytail with a slim figure asked Zeref.

"I think we should. We know how much Mavis here loves her guild and the people in it call the order Invel." Zeref responds.

Mavis has a shit-eating grin and says "I'm afraid that won't work Zeref because activating fairy heart requires all of the members unless their guild symbol is removed by me or the master.

Zeref is still as confident and replies "Oh well that won't stop us from taking the lives of others outside of the guild."

"No! Please don't I can't be responsible for even more deaths that don't have anything to do with me or fairy heart." Mavis pleaded tearing up.

"Invel tell the troops to do whatever they want with innocents but do not kill any fairy tail members yet." After saying that Zeref walks over to Mavis and picks up her body recklessly with his magic and brings her with him downstairs. "I am bringing her to the basement of the guild to continue interrogations make sure no one gets in and interrupts the session August will accompany me."

The man now known as Invel bows his head and answers his master's order. "I will get to it immediately I promise I will not let you down sir." He then walks out of the guild and disappears.

~Back on the warzone ~

Natsu and his friends finally rested up and are back on their feet and are getting ready to pursue the Spriggan 12.

"I can smell them they went to our guild I would say it could take up to a day getting there on foot and in our condition so we have to leave now!" A spiky pink haired teen shouted out to his teammates.

"Natsu is right we have to hurry and get to the guild I am positive master Mavis is still inside she could be in trouble." Erza shouted supporting Natsu.

Gray was glaring at Natsu and said "I don't want to follow him but I will listen to you Erza lead the way."

Erza looked at Gray skeptically but decided that they just had another small fight between the two so she ignores it. But little did she know that the problem they were facing together would cost one of their lives or even both.

Natsu and friends leave hastily towards the guild using the dragon slayers heightened smell. The whole trip consisted of Gray giving Natsu a disgusted look and Natsu every now and then glances at Gray and feeling bad while everyone else was having small talk with one another. Erza noticed this and confronted Natsu about it.

Natsu was looking straight ahead in his own little world thinking. (Yes Natsu Dragneel thinks every now and then even if it really isn't intelligent thinking) 'Why hasn't Gray told the rest of the guild who... no what I am yet?' His little thinking to himself was interrupted by the scarlet knight.

"Natsu?" the scarlet mage asked her beloved pink haired friend. Noticing Natsu was still in his own world Titania ran in front of him to get his attention on her.

Natsu finally snapped out of his trance like state and noticed Erza was standing right in front of him. "Oh hey Erza how's it going?" Natsu asked with a fake smile that Erza seemed to notice.

"Natsu what's wrong, you and Gray have been giving each other glares the whole way it's already been half a day you guys can't still be mad at each other over something so small." Erza asked. She was worried for her favorite dragon slayer he never acted like this except for the post-tartaros occasion.

Natsu gave a deep sigh and reluctantly answered her. "Honestly Erza I don't think that this is a small problem things may never be the same between me and him." He then slumped his shoulders, boy did he want to tell Erza the whole story but he knew he couldn't no matter what it was between him and Gray. "So what did you really want I know you didn't come all the way up to the front of the group just to talk to me about my problems."

Erza had a saddened expression after Natsu said this was it so hard to believe that she truly did care for the dragon slayers emotions not just give him tasks to accomplish. "Natsu is it really hard to believe that I don't just ask you for things. You know I care about you right." She gave Natsu a sincere smile that made Natsu completely trust her in this moment.

"You don't know how much that means to me Erza thanks for always being there for me but I can't tell you the full story I'll just tell you what I can."

Erza looks him in the eye and glares at him but sees he doesn't waver and that it is a serious problem. "Okay fine but you better not lie about anything or else I will know." She states with another glare, this one seems to penetrate Natsu and he sweat drops at her answer.

"Okay so it all started after tartaros…" "ROAR!" The Fiore team looks above them to see Acnologia in his dragon form. "Come and fight me dragon slayers I will take you all down and become the last dragon and dragon slayer alive."

The entire Fiore team is preparing to fight especially the dragon slayers but then someone steps up. "You guys go on ahead I will fight him!" Natsu screams out to his teammates. "No!" The majority of them yell but Laxus, Makarov, and Gildharts stop them. "If anyone can do it it's him we have to trust him and we need to help Mavis he will make it back I'm sure of it."

"No! We can't just let him fight the strongest dragon there is alone we should at least have the other dragon slayers stay!" Erza states in a manner that would normally get anyone to wet themselves but know was not the time to be afraid.

"Quiet Erza I have to do this it's my chance to avenge my father I can handle him I promise. You trust me don't you?" Natsu calmly says to Erza and the rest of the group.

"Of course I trust you but it is dangerous I wouldn't let anyone do it not even the master you don't know how much you mean to me so please come back home safe." Erza says almost pleading to Natsu.

"Don't worry Erza I'm not going anywhere I will beat him without doubt you should be more concerned about master Mavis now go!" Natsu yells the last word and charges Acnologia.

The rest of them look at him for a moment but notice he can handle himself that year of training was for him to be able to defeat Acnologia so for now they will put their trust in him.

Natsu was standing off against Acnologia. "Come on use your full power I know you were just pretending to be weak so they would trust me and leave me alone. I didn't want to fight you while you were weak so I will fight you now and I will beat you." Natsu charges him. "Fire Dragon Iron Fist" Natsu yelled and punched him right in the underbelly with such force it even sent the dragon of the apocalypse a few yards back.

"You are stronger than you were 1 year ago a lot stronger but nowhere near my level yet." Acnologia roared to Natsu. "I didn't draw you here just to fight I need to have a little talk with you. I guess I could start by asking how would you like to be a real dragon like me and join me to defeat Zeref and his companions?"

Let me know if you guys like it or not.
