A/N: Hi guys! It's been a while (8 months) and I'm finally back with something. Of course, it's not an update on one of the numerous stories (only 6 or 7) I've started (why do something like that?) and instead started a whole new story that will very well be the longest story I'll ever write.
Now some notes for all the readers, this is based off of the English dubbed anime version (I got used to Happy's voice after a while), so some things may seem different than what you know. Some will be, obviously, things I changed. Others will have been things that the dubbers changed. A lot of the changes I have planned and figure would happen with the change in Lucy's childhood aren't really noticeable right away. I think it'll be more noticeable by the Phantom Lord arc. I'll also be adding more tiny adventures along the way, just to add some more of my own spin on it.
One last thing, this is the first time I've written creatively in a REEEEEEEALLY long time, so it doesn't start off like my usual writing style, but I think it gets closer as the story goes on.
Anyhow, ENJOOOOOOOOOOOOOY!~~~~~~~~~
Death Reversal
Chapter 1
"In a land far far away lies the kingdom of Fiore, a small peaceful nation of 17 million and a place filled with magic. Found in every home, bought and sold in every market place. For most magic is merely a tool, a mundane part of every day life. For some, however, magic is an art, and they've devoted their lives to it's purpose. These are the wizards. Banded together into magical guilds they ply their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many such guilds dot the landscape of Fiore, but there is a certain guild in a certain town that soars high above the rest. One from which countless legends have been born. A guild that will no doubt continue to create legends well into the future. It's name is Fairy Tail."
~~~Natsu~~~
In the port town of Hargeon, a pink haired boy and his blue talking cat have just arrived.
"Natsu! We made it to Hargeon!" The blue cat exclaimed as it try to wake it's companion and get him to respond. "Get up already!"
"Is he alright?" An employee asks, confused as to what is going on and whether he should get help for the sick customer.
"He's fine, this always happens when he travels." The cat reassured the employee.
"Never. I'm never riding a stupid train again." Natsu complained, struggling to not puke.
"If our information's correct, then we should find that Salamander somewhere in this town. Let's go!"
Natsu, now hanging outside one of the train's windows weakly replied to his feline friend. "Give me a second, would ya?"
At that moment, with the cat already off, the train's horn sounded as it proceeded with it's schedule onto the next station.
"No!" Natsu yelled, "Heeeeeeelp!"
"Uh oh, there he goes." The cat watched calmly as the train departed and Natsu's scream for help echo on the wind.
~~~Lucy~~~
"What! This is the only magic shop in the entire town!" A blonde girl exclaimed as the owner of said shop gave the bad news.
"Sorry, miss. This town's people are more fishin' folk then magic folk." The man explained. "I opened this shop for the Wizards who might be passing through. I reckon most people in the town don't even know how to se magic."
"Oh man," the girl sighed dejectedly, "I came out all this way for nothing."
"Now don't say that, little lady. I've got all the latest tools." He announced as he rummaged behind his counter. "This Colors Magic is popular. All the young girls really seem to like it. It let's you change the color of your clothes anytime you want." He explained as he changed the color of his outfit.
"Purple!" His clothes faded from what they were to various shades of purple. "Green!" His clothes went from purple to different types of green.
"I already have some of those." The girl stated as the man displayed the magical tool, "What I really want are some powerful gate keys."
"Gate keys? That's a rare request." The man set out the only gate key he had at the store, a sliver key, carefully placed on a pillow in a small box.
"Oh, it's the little doggy!" She joyfully looked down at the key, already planning on buying it.
"That one's not very powerful you know."
"I know, but I really really want it." She looked back up at the man while holding the box and key. "So how much?"
"Twenty thousand jewel," he stated, signaling a two with his hand.
"How much was that again?" She asked questioningly, inching closer and closer to the store keeper.
"Twenty thousand jewel," he plainly said again.
The girl wrapped her two arms around her waste, pushing her breasts up and together, making them seem larger. Her white sundress showing off a good portion of her assets while at the same time making her seem more pure, a contrast to what she was doing now. "How much is it really worth?" She winked at him cutely.
~~~Later~~~
On a busy market street, the girl skipped along happily, giggling along the way. "Only ten thousand jewel! Score! He marked it down by half! That trick always works!" Easy to say, the girl was proud of her feminine wiles.
A large crowd of people, noisier then one would expect in a town like this one, drew her attention away from the money she just saved. Two girls passing by, who were acting just like the people in the crowd in the plaza below, screamed in excitement as they passed by her.
"Kya! Are you serious, is he really here! It's Salamander!"
"Salamander?" The girl questioned. Then realization hit her, "As in the one wizard who uses fire magic you can't even buy in stores? Wow! He's in this dead-end town?" Excitedly, she hurried down to see him as well.
~~~Natsu~~~
With slumped shoulders, Natsu trumped along a road in Hargeon, sadly recalling the torture of riding the train twice. "I can't believe I ended up riding the train twice."
"You should really get over that motion sickness of yours." The cat advised.
"Now I'm so hungry I could even eat my own hand!" Natsu grumbled alongside his empty belly.
"Too bad we don't have any money for food." Observed the cat, who was oddly smiling despite his and his friend's current predicament.
"Hey Happy, this Salamander we're looking for has got to be Igneel, right?"
"Aye, it has to be cause the only fire dragon I've heard of is Igneel."
"That's true."
Up ahead of the two was that same group of people, going crazy over a person and calling out "Salamander!"
Natsu and Happy looked at each other ecstatically, "Salamander?" They both exclaimed.
The two ran towards the crowd, but as they got closer, the Natsu and Happy realized that it was all women.
~~~Lucy~~~
The girl was now in the crowd. The women around her all going crazy over a single man the crowd had surrounded. All had hearts in their eyes, all happy to just be near him. As she looked upon that man as well, she too started to do these strange acts. Inwardly she questioned herself. Why is my heart beating so fast? What's happening to me? At that moment, Salamander looked at her, and it was if he was the only thing she could see. He looked at me!Is it because he's a famous wizard? Is that why my heart is throbbing out of control? He's not my type, though! Maybe! Could it be? Am I in love?
The girl hopped closer and closer to Salamander, all the while barely hearing over the crowd, "Igneel! Igneel! Igneel it's me!"
All of a sudden a pink haired boy burst through the crowd, a giant smile etched upon his face. Thanks to the interruption, the girl's infatuation disappeared without a trace.
~~~Natsu~~~
Natsu, whose whole body was now slumped over, looked down upon the man everyone gaped over, and asked a single question. "Who the heck are you?"
The man, shocked, stepped backward and asked incredulously "Who am I?" Reorganizing himself, he posed to Natsu, overzealous conceit dripping off his voice, "Surely you've heard of me. I am Salamander," only to notice that both Natsu and Happy were already about to leave. "Hey! Wait a minute!" He reached out hopelessly as the two continued to leave.
Suddenly, one of the girls attacked Natsu from behind screaming "You're so rude! Salamander's a great wizard! You better go back there or we're going to rip you to shreds!" With each sentence another girls from the crowd partook in the shredding of Natsu.
Now in a different pose, Salamander calmly spoke to all the girls, who were now in a line to inflict pain on Natsu. "Now now, that's enough my lovelies. Let him go. I'm sure the poor boy didn't mean anything malicious by it." With that alone, all the girls continued to fawn over him.
The other girl, the blonde one, merely looked on in contempt as she figured out what exactly Salamander was doing to all the women.
Trying as stylishly as he can, Salamander wrote an autograph fro Natsu. "Here's my autograph kid, now you can brag to all your friends."
"No thanks." Natsu said quickly, tired of dealing with these people. The girl's enraged once more, threw Natsu away into a pile of garbage.
"Guess it wasn't him after all," Happy observed, disappointed that Salamander wasn't who they thought it was.
"Definitely not him." Natsu gurgled.
"Well, I'm afraid I must be going ladies," Salamander said, moving on from the incident. "I have business to attend to." All the women rejected any such idea, and pleaded for him not to go. Ignoring their pleas, Salamander summoned a magic circle with a snap of his fingers. "Time for the Red Carpet."
Purple flames circled around his feet before a large snake like tendril of purple flames lifted Salamander into the air. "I'm having a soiree on my yacht tonight! And you're all invited!" And with that Salamander rode his flames off into the sky.
"Who the heck was that guy?" Natsu asked himself, hoping he'd never meet him again.
"I don't know, but he was a real creep." Natsu and Happy looked over to see the blonde girl, who continued on to thank the two. "Thank you for your help."
~~~ Later~~~
Now at a restaurant in town, the three were having lunch together.
"My name's Lucy, it's nice to meet you." Lucy introduced to her two lunch companions.
"Aye!" Happy agreed, as Natsu was busy scarfing down bowl after dish after mug of food and drink.
Laughing nervously, Lucy tried to start up a conversation. "Natsu and Happy was it?"
Natsu quickly hummed in agreement before, with a mouth full of food, replied, "You're really nice."
Holding her hands up somewhat defensively, in order to not stain her sundress, and to hopefully encourage the two to slow down, Lucy tried what che could to do just that. "Thanks! You can slow down, we're not in a hurry or anything. And food is kinda flying everywhere." Even though it was ten thousand jewel, there goes the money I saved at that shop.
Before leaving though, she should at least try to start up some kind of conversation. "Evidently that guy was using some sort of magic, a charm spell to hypnotize the ladies in town into thinking they were in love with him. Since they have the power to attract people to you against their own will, they've been banned for years by the Magic Council, no one even sells them for years." And I should know. "He must have gone through a lot of trouble to get his hands on it. What a creep. I fell for his spell completely, but I snapped out of it thanks to you guys barging in. I really can't thank you guys enough."
Natsu, now stuffing whole tomatoes into his mouth, mumbled some sort of reply, but it was indistinguishable to Lucy, who decided to just carry on.
"I know I may not look it, but I'm a wizard too!" Lucy said, pointing to herself. Natsu, not really interested continued to answer halfheartedly. "I haven't joined a guild or anything, though. I've been looking for just the right one." It occurred to Lucy then that she should explain what a guild is. If the people of this town didn't use much magic, then they probably wouldn't know what a guild is. "I should explain what a guild is."
"Guilds are organizations that wizards can join and come together to share information and to receive jobs and work and other things like that. Sadly, you're not considered a real wizard until you join a guild," Lucy started bouncing around in her seat, imagining what it would be like to join a guild, "I've heard the really popular ones are hard to get into and the one I've had my eye on is the most popular one there is!"
Similar to the women from earlier, hearts were in Lucy's eyes as she talked about her favorite guild. "They're always featured in Sorcerer Weekly and if I can convince them to let me in I think I would just about die!"
With an embarrassing revelation, Lucy realized something, "I'm sorry, all this wizard-ing talk must be pretty boring to you guys. it must sound like a bunch of gibberish, huh? But, I'm telling you, I'm definitely going to join that guild someday. Then I'm going to take all sorts of exciting jobs and make tons of money!"
Bored, Happy bluntly told Lucy, "You talk a lot."
Ignoring the comment, Lucy remembered that Natsu and Happy were looking for someone, "I almost forgot, you guys said you were looking for someone?"
Natsu, ripping into a whole pizza, left Happy to answer Lucy's question, "We're looking for Igneel!"
Ignoring the food in his mouth, Natsu continued. "We heard a rumor that a Salamander was going to be coming through town and came to see him. Turned out to be someone else."
"Yeah, that guy didn't look like a Salamander at all." Happy stated.
"No kidding, I bet that poser can't even breath fire like a real dragon."
Completely confused, Lucy tried to get the two to explain. "I don't get it. You're friend Igneel looks like a dragon?"
"Nah, you got it all wrong," Natsu explained, "he doesn't look like a dragon, he is one."
There was silence at the table for a moment as what Natsu said sank in. Even in their magical world, dragons are extremely rare and are considered extraordinary mystical creatures. They are almost never seen by the human eye.
With a point riddled with common sense, and exposes Natsu and Happy's lack of it, Lucy exclaimed, "Why would a dragon be in the middle of town!" Shocked, Natsu and Happy had nothing to say. "That is totally ridiculous!"
Tired, of dealing with the newly revealed idiots, Lucy placed down money for the meal and left the table. "Oh well, maybe I'll see you around."
Lucy was almost out the door when a waitress that was giving her a normal "Thank you come again" quip yelped in surprise at the sight in front of her. Confused, Lucy looked back to see Natsu and Happy bowing on the floor to her, giving a thanks for the meal. Slowly, while everyone was distracted by the two, and not wanting to be embarrassed more than she already was, Lucy slipped out the door.
~~~Later~~~Lucy~~~
Lucy was reading the most recent issue of Sorcerer Weekly while sitting on a park bench that was shaded by a tree.
"Wow, looks like Fairy Tail is causing a ruckus again!"Giggling to herself, Lucy read out loud what she just saw in the magazine. "Demon bandit group wiped out, but seven homes destroyed! Talk about going overboard!" Lucy flipped through a few more pages till she got to the center fold, "Oh! The center fold is featuring Mirajane this week! She's so pretty." Lucy looked down at her own outfit, comparing how she looked compared to Mirajane.
Hmm, it's hard to tell since her photos are from a bikini shoot, but I think I could rival her pretty well! She told herself, her current outfit, a white sundress, a brown sunhat, brown boots, and a thin brown belt, was simple, but worked for her. Or at least I think it works for me. Lucy looked back and forth from her own body to the picture of Mira. Well at least I'm bigger where it counts.
"I wish I could I could be a member of Fairy Tail," Lucy said out loud, moving on to a different topic then her insecurities. "I just don't know how to join. Do you apply? Or maybe take a test? I don't know." Looking up at the clouds, and imagining what it may be like to join them, Lucy resolved herself. "I'll join Fairy Tail no matter what! They're the coolest guild ever!"
"You want to join Fairy Tail, do you?" It took Lucy a moment to recognize that voice, but when she did she scooted to the other edge of the bench and covered her breasts protectively. It was Salamander.
"How… how long have you been there?" Lucy asked warily.
"Long enough," Salamander said vaguely, and then betrayed that vague answer by looking down at Lucy's breats and saying, "Don't worry, in my opinion you far outshine Mirajane. But I've always preferred blondes, so I may not be the best judge."
Lucy's face turned cherry red as it was revealed that she was talking out loud to herself. That was a bad habit that she had to stop. Lucy shook her head to rid herself of the embarrassment. "Wh-whatever. What does it matter to you if I want to join Fairy Tail or not?"
"I can help you get in if you want." Salamander said nonchalantly. "I wanted to personally invite you to my party on my yacht tonight." Salamander raised one of his hands, to make it look like he was brushing a lock of hair away from his face, but Lucy knew the real reason from the rings that hand donned.
"You're charm spell won't work on me! It's weakness is awareness! It doesn't work on people if you know you're using it!" Lucy pointed at Salamander accusingly.
"Charming, I should've known you'd be able to spot it, but if you have your eyes set on Fairy Tail, then it's only appropriate. No matter, the invitation still stands."
"You can forget it, pervert! I wouldn't be caught dead at one of your parties!"
"A pervert, why would you call me that?" Salamander asked, confusion and hurt written all over his face.
Lucy looked at him blankly, "You're spell. To have women practically grovel at your feet. If that's not perverted I don't know what is."
Salamander winked at her. "Don't be mad my dear, it's all in good fun. I just want to feel like a celebrity at my own party, can you blame me for that?"
"It just proves that famous wizards can be terrible role models."
"Whether I'm a terrible role model or not, I don't really care." Salamander paused for a moment. "Have you ever heard of Fairy Tail's Salamander?"
Lucy blinked a few times before once again accusingly pointing at him, "Of course! Are you telling me you're him? You're that Salamander?"
At her obvious shock, all he could do was smirk before replying. "Of course. And if you come to my party, I could put in a good word for you."
It seemed like moments passed before Lucy suddenly ran up and hugged Salamander tightly, before looking up at him and smiled, "I would love to go to your party tonight!"
Salamander smirked, "That was easier than I thought it would be."
Lucy let him go and took a few steps back, "So you really think you can get me into Fairy Tail? Really?
"I don't see why not. Just come to my party tonight, and don't say anything about the charm spell!" With that, Salamander flew away on his Red Carpet.
"I won't say a word sir!" Lucy yelled after him. Lucy blinked a few times before a look of annoyance crossed her face. "He got me, I was pseudo-charmed! But… I'm gonna be in Fairy Tail!" Lucy jumped into the air, ecstatic to finally be joining her favorite guild. "Now I just have to put up with that sleezebag till then." Lucy then giggled to herself before leaving the park to get ready.
~~~Later~~~Natsu~~~
Natsu and Happy were on a fenced road near the edge of Hargeon, on their way out of the city. The two were taking a break, and relaxing before the long walk home.
"That was quite the meal, wasn't it Happy?" Natsu said gleefully to his feline friend.
"Yeah!" Happy agreed. He then looked out into the harbor, and pointed to a large ship going out to sea. "Hey, do you think that's the boat that Salamander guy's party is on?"
Almost instantly after looking at the boat, Natsu covered his mouth, "I-I think I'm gonna hurl."
"Aw, come on. It's not like you're gonna ride it or anything."
"Is that Salamander's boat!"
"I wish I could've gone to his party!"
A group of girls a little ways down the road were talking with one another, and two of them were thinking back to when that had been with Salamander earlier that day.
"Who's Salamander?" The third one asked.
"You've never heard of Salamander!" One of the first two exclaimed, "He's a super famous wizard who's in town right now!"
"Yeah! and he's a member of Fairy Tail!"
Fairy Tail! Surprised, Natsu and Happy started discussing with one another. Both looked back at the boat, sailing farther out to sea, only for Natsu to feel motion sick again. He's in Fairy Tail, is he?
~~~Lucy~~~
On his yacht, Salamander and Lucy are chatting with one another, much to the annoyance of the later.
"It's Lucy, right?" He asked her, "That's a lovely name."
"Yeah, thanks." Lucy half-heartedly replied. She already didn't want to be here.
"I'd like to toast you're beauty." Salamander snapped his finger, and droplets of the drink in Lucy's glass started to hover in the air, drifting closer and closer to her. "Now, open up wide Lucy, and savor the taste of each flavorful drop as it enters your mouth."
Cold shivers went up Lucy's spine, the line alone was terrible, but what got her was the fact that he thought it was good! This guy is creepier than I thought! I may not be able to get through this night.
Lucy was just about to let one of the droplets enter her mouth when she sensed more than just levitation magic infused in them. She quickly swatted away the droplets, and glared at Salamander, who was surprised by her actions.
"What do you think you're doing?" She asked. "I know what you're up to. You're trying to use sleep magic."
Salamander smiled as she accused him, and revealed the sleep magic ring on his right hand. "Very impressive, my dear."
"I don't want to give you the wrong idea. Yes I really want to join the Fairy Tail guild, but I'm not going to be some good lay for you just so I can get in."
Salamander chuckled, and walked over to a curtain, "You're quite a handful, aren't you?" Suddenly, the curtain was swept aside to reveal large men, with different unconscious women being carried by them, all of them laughing.
Lucy gasped, and took a step back. "What's going on here?"
"Welcome aboard my it would be wise to behave yourself until we get to Bosco," Salamander warned. "Don't make me angry." An evil smile appeared on his face, revealing his true character.
"We're going to Bosco!" Lucy scanned all the different people in the room, counting how many she might need to get through in order to escape. Deciding there might to many, she looked over at Salamander, she wanted answers. "You said you were taking me to Fairy Tail!"
"Forget it! I just said that to lure you here and make you one of our slaves." He explained.
"How could you! You're going to kidnap all these girls!" Lucy took out a key ring, with silver and gold keys, but before she was able to do anything with them, Salamander attacked her with a fire whip, making her drop her keys. Only to be caught by Salamander.
"These are Gate Keys, so you're a Celestial Wizard. only the wizard who is contracted can use this magic, so these are absolutely useless to me." Salamander explained before throwing the keys out a window and into the harbor. "Woops!"
Lucy glared at Salamander, tears threatening to run, "You use magic to take advantage of others! You're the worst wizard alive!"
All of a sudden, a large crash was heard as something fell through the ship's roof right in-between Lucy and Salamander. When the smoke cleared, standing there was Natsu.
"Hey, I know you!" Lucy exclaimed, happy to see a familiar face.
Only for Natsu to fall to the floor, threatening to hurl.
"Lame!" Everyone exclaimed, surprised at the change in character.
"Hey, what are you doing here Lucy?" Happy asked, hovering right above the hole Natsu had made in the roof.
"Happy! This jerk tricked me! He said he was going to get me into Fairy Tail!" Then it dawned on her, "Wait! Since when have you and wings!"
"I'll explain that later, okay! Hold on!" Happy then wrapped his tail around Lucy carried her off into the sky.
"After them, we can't let them report us to the Magic Council!" Salamander ordered.
"Wait, what about Natsu!" Lucy questioned.
"I can't carry two people at once!"
"Prominence Whip!" Salamander cried as a countless number of magic tendrils shot from his magic circle, all aiming for Happy and Lucy. Lucy couldn't stop herself from screaming the entire time Happy was dodging the different homing attacks.
As Salamander watched the cat weave through his attack, he became preoccupied with Natsu.
"What about Natsu and the other girls?" Lucy asked Happy, hoping he would have some sort of plan in motion.
"We have a problem Lucy," Happy warned as he slowed to a hover, "my transformation's up."
Before Lucy could even say anything, the two plummeted down to the harbor. "Stupid cat!" Lucy screamed just before she hit the water's surface.
The momentum from their fall brought Lucy close to the ocean floor, where she immediately began to swim towards the area her keys had fallen. Seeing a glint of light so far underwater, Lucy swam forward and saw her Gate Keys.
~~~Natsu~~~
Back on the boat, Natsu was completely useless thanks to his motion sickness.
"Forget about them, let's continue on to Bosco." Salamander commanded of his crew.
"The… Fairy Tail guild." Natsu struggled to say, against the force of one of the crew's feet and the intensity of his motion sickness, "You're a member?"
~~~Lucy~~~
Lucy, now having swum back to the surface, smiled mischievously at the yacht, ready to unleash her strongest spirit. "Here we go."
"Open, Gate of the Water Bearer, Aquarius!" She chanted as she jammed her key into the harbor, needing the water to open the gate.
Through the shining light that was emitted, a Celestial Spirit appeared, a blue scaled mermaid carrying a blue and white jug.
"Wow! A fish!" Happy exclaimed, drool running like rivers down his chin.
"Not for you!" Lucy scolded as she slightly slapped Happy.
"That was awesome!" Happy looked on in joy, either from witnessing such a thing, or from imaging him eating such a large fish.
"That's the power of a Celestial Wizard! Whenever I use my Gate Keys, I'm able summon spirits from other worlds to help me."
Lucy turned around, and gracefully identified her target. "Aquarius, would you be oh so humble as to fulfill this one desire of mine and push that ship back into port?"
"Tch, as long as you know who's charge, blondie. And the next time you so much as think of dropping my key, you're dead." Aquarias glared at Lucy slightly, but was obviously effected by Lucy's request.
She created a small current that began to bring both Lucy and Happy back to shore before creating a massive tidal wave that started to sweep the yacht back to port.
"I won't ever drop you're key again, Aquarias! You have my word!" Lucy called out before noticing that the tidal wave had caught up with them, and they were about to be washed away as well.
Before Lucy could complain to her Spirit, she was already well underwater. Moments later, she was able to breath again. She was lying on the beach.
"You need to get a boyfriend," Aquarius said, who was floating nearby. "That way you'll stop calling me. Now don't call me for a while, I'm going on a week long vacation with my boyfriend, and he's hot."
"You already know why I don't!" Lucy retorted. But it was too late, Aquarius was already back in the Spirit World.
"I have an idea, Lucy!" Happy remarked joyfully, "The next time you have trouble with her, bring her to me and I'll take care of her."
"I don't think I can deal with this cat any more!"
~~~Natsu~~~
"That hurt, what in the-" Salamander started before noticing something in the smoke.
Running up to the boat, Lucy cried out to the pink haired boy. "Natsu!"
Natsu, looking down at Salamander, asked, "So you claim to be a member of the Fairy Tail guild."
"So what's it to you?" Salamander asked cautiously, then he commanded his crew, "Go get him, men!"
"Let me get a closer look at you're face." Natsu removed his jacket, preparing fro the fight ahead.
"Watch out!" Lucy called, worried for her friend.
"Don't worry about him," Happy said casually, getting ready to eat a fish, "I should've told you this sooner but Natsu's a wizard too!"
"What!"
Easily smacking one of the slavers away, Natsu revealed the mark on his right shoulder to everyone. "My name is Natsu! I'm a Fairy Tail wizard, and I've never seen you before!"
"You've got to be kidding me! So Natsu is a Fairy Tail wizard?" Lucy questioned, confused and surprised more than she would prefer in this situation.
"That mark on his arm, this guy is the real deal Bora!" One of the slavers said to Salamander, his new identity revealed.
"Don't call me that you fool!" Bora complained, his voice now noticeably higher than before.
"I know him, that's Bora of Prominence," Happy told Lucy, "Rumor has it he was kicked out of the Titan Nose guild a couple of years ago because of bad behavior."
"I don't know what you were trying to do here, buddy, and I don't care if you were a bad guy, a good guy, or what, but I'm not going to let you dirty the Fairy Tail guild's name!"
"And what are you going to do, stop me?" Bora asked critically before activating one of his spells. "Prominence Typhoon!" A whirlwind of purple fire swirled from the magic circle and made it's way to Natsu. With a large explosion, fire quickly consumed the yacht.
With many of the now screaming women awake and running from the burning ship, Natsu was now able to go all out. Slowly the fire began to disappear, all going to one point, Natsu's mouth. Bora, his men, and Lucy all looked on in shock as Natsu finished eating the fire.
"Now I've got a fire in my belly that's raging to get it out! Here it goes!" Natsu's cheeks swelled up, he cupped his hands in front of his mouth, making a tunnel, and created a magic circle in front of him. He shouted out, "Fire Dragon's Roar!" and then a blast of fire erupted from him, as if he was breathing fire, that was aimed straight for Bora.
Bora was able to dodge the attack with his Red Carpet, but all of his men had been taken out. One of them, still somehow conscious, said, "Hey Bora, I swear I've seen this guy before. The pink hair, and the scaly lookin' scarf. There's no doubt about it, he's gotta be the real one."
Lucy, amazed, could only utter a single word, "Salamander!"
"I hope you guys are paying attention, this is what a Fairy Tail wizard can do! Here I come!" Launching forward, Natsu's flames engulfed both of his fists. Bora launched fire balls at him, but Natsu easily dodged them all. Once he was close enough, Natsu leapt up into the air and punched Bora off of his Red Carpet and down to the hard ground in the town.
"So he eats fire, and then attacks with it? But how does he do it? Is it some sort of spell?" Lucy asked Happy as the two watched from afar.
"He has dragon lungs that allow him to breath fire, dragon scale to allow him to dissolve the fire, and dragon claws for attacking with fire." Happy helped explain, "His brand of fire magic is one that allows hime to take on all the qualities of a dragon. It's an ancient form of magic that's rarely used nowadays."
"Seriously?" It was hard to take in, Lucy never knew that such a magic could exist.
"His particular magic was originally used to deal with dragons." Happy paused for a moment, watching Bora shoot a beam of fire across half the town. But when he saw Natsu get back up, he continued. "It's called Dragon Slayer Magic. Igneel was the one who taught it to him.
Natsu ate another one of Bora's attacks easily, "That wasn't too bad, but now I'm gonna cook you like a smoked fish!"
Grossly disturbed, Bora couldn't believe his ears. "You're gonna do what to me?"
Natsu smashed his two fists together, causing a magic circle to appear. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" With this final attack, Natsu launched Bora all the way to the other side of town, deciding his victory.
"Don't be silly, Natsu. Everyone knows you smoke food with smoke, not fire." Happy commented, all too used to Natsu's destructive rampage.
"That was amazing!" Lucy looked on, "But they over did it!" Lucy gazed upon a part of the city, completely and utterly destroyed.
Lucy gasped as she heard the sound of marching footsteps. "The army!"
Natsu grabbed Lucy's arm and began to drag her behind him as he ran from the city, "Oh crap! We gotta get out of here!"
"Where are you taking me!" Lucy asked, completely giving up on fighting such a monster.
"C'mon, you said you wanted to join Fairy Tail, right? So let's go!" Natsu smiled back at Lucy, who returned it.
And the trio were off, running from the destroyed Hargeon and towards Fairy Tail.
A/N: I hope you guys liked it. If not, well…. now you know not to read the rest. Though I don't think it's really fair to decide if you like it or not after only the first chapter, I will admit that I've done it before as well. I can't change your minds if you don't like it, and I'm fine if you don't. I only ask that if you don't, please don't nitpick and complain to me about why you don't like it. Thank you~
