CHAPTER 1

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or Sword Art Online, let alone anything affiliated with them.

Summary:

Call it Fate, Destiny, or any other name you like, but there always seems to be some unspoken force of nature that draws certain people together. Watch as a Natsu you never knew comes to be and all the trials he faces along the way tumble under his might. Story will be mainly a Natsu x Erza, but there will be several side pairings with a full list later on for those interested.

AN: there will be several things that do not match up with canon as this story will deviate greatly at times from the canon, but it will be a great story nonetheless so I hope you read and enjoy.

Reviews are appreciated, and criticism is welcome

The year is x686 and an unheard of feat was becoming accomplished, the Young and powerful mage Mavis Vermillion along with several other mages have just established the first ever magic guild called Fairy Tail. As time progressed though, 24 year old Mavis felt that she was missing something in her life.

She had accomplished many things that others thought impossible, but she still felt as though she was missing something. The answer seemed to come to her in the middle of the year x689 in the form of a man by the name of Zeref.

Mavis had been working on finding a sacred ground for her established guild and had come upon the island. On the island she met the man referred to as the greatest evil the world had ever seen, the dark wizard Zeref.

At first when she learned who he was Mavis' first thought was to attack the man, but she didn't because she felt no evil from the man. Due to her unique magic which many had called light magic she had always been able to "feel" the nature of people.

Due to Mavis not feeling any ill intentions from Zeref, she began to get to know the man. At first it was difficult because Zeref tried to keep her away from him due to his unstable death magic, but that ended when one day a burst of his magic had burst forth and engulfed Mavis, but her light magic simply dissolved the death magic and she continued trying to learn about Zeref.

After that day Zeref actually became more calm and subdued around Mavis and talked a great deal to her, Mavis becoming his first friend. That didn't last for long though, some unknown force had driven Mavis and Zeref together and they couldn't help getting closer and closer to one another.

This had led Mavis to discover that just four short months after meeting Zeref she had fallen pregnant with his child. When she had told Zeref he was surprised, overjoyed, and nervous. He had questioned Mavis about the child turning out like him, but she simply quieted him by telling him that she would cure both his and the babies darkness if it had any.

With that reassurance, Mavis had spent the entirety of her pregnancy on the island with Zeref. Before either knew it they were holding a beautiful baby in their arms that had a strange pink hair color. Sadly for the overjoyed parents Zeref had told Mavis that he could feel his body trying to go into hibernation again.

Mavis was extremely sad when he had told her, but she had accepted the news and told him that she would constantly comeback to the island and await his awakening. After that Mavis had left Zeref on the island in his hibernation like state and returned to her guild.

When she returned and was questioned about her absence and the baby, Mavis had informed the guild that she had gone in search of a place the guild could use as a sacred site and she had found one that was an island not too far away, but while exploring the island she had come across the baby and decided to look after it.

The guild easily accepted the information as truth since they had always seen Mavis as a motherly like figure. For several months Mavis had the joy of raising the baby in the guild with her, but her joy was not meant to last it seemed.

Several large groups of people claiming to be Zeref followers and been tracking down powerful magic sources to use for "reviving" Zeref. On several occasions Mavis had been attacked along with her baby as the followers tried to take him from her.

This had led Mavis to one night coming upon the hardest decision of her life. In order to ensure her babies safety she decided she would use her strongest defense type magic and use it to protect her baby from all forms of evil.

Because of her decision, Mavis was now in the middle of a forest in the dead of night. Mavis whispered several things to her son before she wrapped him snugly into a warm blanket and cast her spell. Fairy Sphere quickly did its job and enclosed the baby in a golden orb that had a symbol on it that soon disappeared along with the baby.

Everything in the world of magic is linked though; every action taken has an effect on the world. The baby that Mavis had just ensured was safe had just set off the greatest effect the magic world has ever seen. Linked to that one baby is a multitude of good and responsibility.

The special magic Fairy Sphere does have a weakness though, it freezes those inside of it in time, as the world around them continues to grow and age those inside the sphere remain frozen in time until the condition set by the caster is met.

Mavis having been the caster made sure the spell would only release her baby when it found someone willing and strong enough to raise and protect her baby. This had the baby suspended in time for several years until the proper time came, but around the baby those linked to him were starting to make there marks on the world.

During the year X766 the baby of Mavis finally began its own journey into the world. Deep in an unknown forest a majestic and dangerous dragon by the name of Igneel was slowly walking through the forest that he had claimed as his.

Igneel didn't quite understand what he was looking for, but for the past week he had this feeling in the pit of his fiery belly that told him to look through the forest. Huffing a large sigh of irritation which lit a small area on fire Igneel turned around ready to return to his cozy den when something caught his eye.

It was small and hardly noticeable, in fact Igneel would have doubted he would have seen it if he didn't have the great eyes of a dragon. Walking over to the area where he saw the small glow, he came upon a scene that he had never experienced before in his long life.

There in front of him covered by a sphere of what appeared to be gold energy was a small human baby. When Igneel went to touch the energy with his claw he was surprised once more. The second his talon touched the Sphere, a symbol appeared on the sphere for a few seconds before it disappeared. Once the symbol had disappeared, so too did the energy around the baby.

Igneel watched amazed as the now awake baby looked at him without fear. Never before had Igneel been so intrigued by humans. The large dragon leaned down and put his snout to the baby which only giggled when it felt the warm breath of the dragon.

Igneel leaned back and looked at the strange human in front of him before looking at the blanket wrapped around it noticing letters on it. NATSU the blanket said in big bold letters. "So Natsu is your name is it small one. Very well then, from this day onward I shall take you in and you will be my son. From now on you shall be Natsu Dragneel, son of the great king dragon Igneel." Igneel said as he picked up the baby Natsu carefully and took him to the den he was staying in.

Once more time picked up and carried on and before long more events linked to Natsu transpired.

X767-Juvia Lockser, Lisanna Strauss, Levy McGarden, Lucy Heartfilia, and Max Alors born; Natsu also continued to grow under Igneel's care and is just starting to walk

X768-Kagura Mikazuchi, and Millianna born; Natsu under the guidance of Igneel begins to learn to read, write, and some magic

Once more time moves forward, the year is now X770 and Natsu has begun to make tremendous progress in his dragon slayer training. Igneel had started teaching him the basics a year ago and he was now starting to learn the slightly more advanced lessons.

Several weeks ago Igneel had shown Natsu how to use the Fire Dragons Roar and Natsu was still trying to master it, after all Igneel said that when Natsu had completely mastered fire to his liking that he would have Natsu meet other dragons that he knew and teach him some other elements.

When he had first told Natsu that, he was of course over joyed about the idea of learning even more, but then he questioned how Igneel could use more than one element. That was when Igneel told Natsu of his past.

Igneel had been born to two fire dragons hence why he looked like one, but he had been born with an incredibly unique and rare gift. Igneel was the first ever dragon to be able to use any element. At first like Natsu he of course learned to master fire since it was his parent's magic, and that had led to him becoming the fire dragon king.

After that though Igneel's fame continued to grow, and because of that he became Igneel the absorber; since he could use or absorb any element and not be hurt or affected by it. Because of that Igneel had challenged the previous dragon king and won making him the new king.

Natsu after hearing the story from Igneel only trained even harder, telling Igneel that one day he wanted to be strong enough to challenge him. After hearing that Igneel had roared in laughter before telling Natsu that the day was far off but that he would gladly accept the challenge.

X772-Wendy Marvel, Sting Eucliffe, Rogue Cheney, and Yukino Aguria born

Two more years passed, Natsu now six had mastered fire enough that Igneel told him they would be going on a trip to visit one of his oldest friends. Natsu overjoyed stood in front of Igneel waiting for him to move.

When Igneel did stand up Natsu could truly understand why dragons were feared and how Igneel was the king. Most of the time Igneel was always laying down, so as to not harm Natsu and be able to see him, Natsu now being able to see Igneel in his glory was amazed.

Igneel was easily 50ft tall now that he was standing and his red scales glistened in the sun. When Natsu was truly awed though was when Igneel stood on his back legs and stood up to easily 100ft tall and stretched his wings out that also easily spanned 100ft across.

Now that he was done Stretching Igneel dropped back down to all four of his legs and the ground shook from his weight. Natsu was still in awe when Igneel leaned his head down and nudged him towards his back. Once Natsu was on his side Igneel picked Natsu up by his shirt with his teeth and put Natsu on his back.

Once Natsu was on Igneel's back he moved forward and he was just below Igneel's neck and held on tight. Igneel seeing that Natsu was ready gave a mighty beat of his wings which uprooted several trees and took off into the air with Natsu screaming in delight at flying. Igneel had already made a list in his mind of who he was friends with that he wanted Natsu to meet, so the first person he was off to find was his oldest friend and greatest rival Atlas Flame.

AN: I will be making Atlas' Flames be blue as I think that has a better thing for Natsu to learn so that it actually looks different and isn't just "Hell Flames", but instead Blue Hell Flames. Also for those interested I will be putting a full pairing list below this AN, I would like to note though that I have thought extensively about this and will not be changing the pairings, so if you see a pair you don't like I can only tell you sorry.
