"Mother! Father! Where are you!" screamed a young boy. He was no older than 5 years old and was wandering through a seemingly deserted town. He was wearing a pair of tattered pants and remains of an old t-shirt. His hair was jet black, and his eyes were different colors. His right eye was blood red and his left eye was golden yellow. Over and under his left eye he had a tattoo mark in black. 'Where are they? Where's everyone?' he thought sadly, before bursting into tears. "MOTHER, FATHER! COME BACK!" He yelled at the top of his small lungs. He was about to scream once more when he heard something. It almost sounded like, crying?
"sniff, why? Why am I alone, sniff sniff, where is everyone?" asked a quiet, weak voice. The raven haired boy turned to see a boy around his age huddled up against the wall balling his eyes out. He had red shorts, and a tattered red vest. He had pink hair and dark eyes. "who are you?" asked the ravonette, gaining the other boys attention.
"I, sniff, I am Natsu Dragneel. W-whats your name?"
"My name's Cell Viper."
The two young boys wiped their tears and stood up, grinning. "Want to be friends?" they asked simultaneously. They laughed, and shook hands.
"Friends."
OOooOO
(3 months later)
Magnolia, a fantastic city always full of life. People joyfully going along with their daily routine. Everything was peaceful until….
"Get back here! You need to pay for that!" A middle aged shop-keeper screamed as two blurs ran from his shop, clutching the scraps of food they managed to steal.
"If you can catch us!" a boisterous voice called back, while glancing over a shoulder to look back at the pursuers. This was none other than Natsu Dragneel.
"Yeah, like that old geezer could catch us!" Laughed Natsu's bestfriend, Cell Viper. Both trouble makers happily sped off, dipping in and out of alley ways. After an hour of running both boys finally relaxed, knowing the shop-keeper had stopped following them ages ago. They quickly ripped the bread in half and started eating greedily. "Ah, that was great." Natsu said, rubbing his stomach.
"You can say that again." Cell replied, also rubbing his stomach. After they were finished relaxing both boys jumped up and did a few stretches. Then they both looked around, trying to find something familiar. When they finally gave up looking for it, they eyed the woods. "whoa, it looks so beautiful." Cell commented in awe.
"Lets go in." said Natsu.
"What, we could get lost you idiot!"
"I am not an idiot, jerk! Besides, it isn't dangerous."
"How do you know?" Asked cell, curious as to how his friend would know this. "Duh, there would be noises if it was." To this, Cell sweat-dropped. "Whatever, let's go." And with that, both boys entered, not realizing that they would meet beings thought to be extinct years ago.
"It's so quiet." Cell whispered, not trusting the forest for one second. Natsu on the other hand….
"Cheer up, gloomy! We are alone you know!" The pinkette cheered. "Be quiet you…" whatever he was about to say was cut short as the ground started to shake. WHO DARES TO ENTER OUR HOME! Yelled a deep, gruff voice, clearly angered at the trespassers.
Both boys froze in fear; the owner of the voice clearly wasn't human. They both started turning slowly, sweating bullets. As they finally stopped turning they widened their eyes at what they saw. There, right in front of them were two dragons. The first was a large red dragon with spikes going down the length of his spine, yellow eyes and a yellowish underbelly.
The second was jet black with spikes along his back and a scar over his left eye. They were both easily taller than the trees that decorated the forest, and they were glaring at the poor boys. The one who spoke was the red dragon. CALM DOWN BROTHER, THEY ARE ONLY CHILDREN. THEY ARE CLEARLY LOST. CUT 'EM SOME SLACK IGNEEL. The black dragon said in a laid back tone.
HUMANS AREN'T MEANT TO BE HERE. WHAT ARE YOUR NAMES? Igneel asked them, trying to lighten the tension in the air. Natsu, being who he is, stepped forward and yelled out. "I AM NATSU DRAGNEEL! And that's my friend Cell Viper." Making both dragons raise their brows. WELL THEN, I AM IGNEEL AND HE'S MY BROTHER, FURY.
Both dragons then took a good look at the young humans in front of them. They were scrawny for their ages, clearly starved. And from the smell, they were both homeless. Add that to the fact both boys were lost. WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS, THEY MIGHT BE WORRIED. Asked Fury, baffled by the fact two six year olds were wandering the forest.
"We don't know. We can't find them. Our whole town left a few months ago and we don't know why." Natsu said, holding back tears. Cell wasn't doing any better. At this both reptilians were shocked. These small children stood before them were orphans. By now both boys were crying, mentioning their parents brought back memories of that night.
Both dragons felt pain in their hearts, from what they have seen no child this age should shed a tear. They wanted to stop the crying, but how. Then it came to them, the perfect solution…. HEY, DO YOU WANT TO LEARN MAGIC?
Both boys froze for the second time that day. "Really?" they asked desperately not wanting this to be a joke. OFCOURSE, WE WOULD LOVE TO TEACH YOU. Igneel stated with a huge grin. "Yeah!" they both yelled jumping up and down. OKAY, NOW THEN. NATSU/CELL, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN THE FAMILY?...
And with that the dragons welcomed the two boys and trained them. Fury trained Cell in the wind dragon slayer arts while Igneel taught Natsu the fire dragon slayer.
OOooOO
(Three years later, one day before the dragons leave)
WIND/FIRE DRAGON ROAR!
Two massive attacks were shot directly at the other, both trying to cancel the other out. As both attacks hit, the ground shook violently. In the end they cancelled each other out. Two boys where stood, panting heavily. They had both grown taller and even showed signs of muscles. It was Cell Viper and Natsu Dragneel.
Clapping was heard from the sidelines. WELL DONE, BOTH OF YOU. WE ARE PROUD. Igneels and Furies voices spoke out; just then both dragons emerged from the tree line. Cell was the first to recover, grinning at his father and uncle. "We are going to surpass you both one day." He said with determination, Natsu nodding along. BACK TO TRAINING THEN, YOU'LL NEED TO BE AS STRONG AS POSSIBLE TO BEAT US.Fury said with a smile.
"Right!"
FIRE/WIND DRAGON IRON FIST!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
ITS NEARLY TIME, BROTHER. DO YOU THINK THEY ARE STRONG ENOUGH? Fury whispered to his brother/king. I HOPE SO, THEY ARE STRONG KIDS. I JUST HOPE THEY CAN COPE. ALRIGHT, GO GET SOME REST BRATS! Igneel replied before ordering the kids who were clearly tired.
