Hello readers! :3
(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ so this is probably something that I'll mainly be working on from now on!
I don't know what days I'll upload each chapter since school is starting near the end of the month ;^;
I want to try do every Sunday evening (I'll try 5-9 pm UK time), but I'll probably post more while I have time.
The story will sometimes shift from canon, like the fight scene against Bora this chap. It may also skip a few arcs and replace them with some original ones. I can't remember everything, and hell am I looking through my manga, I ain't got time for that.
Natsu is kinda OOC (Out Of Character ((I think that's what it means))) (so many brackets) and some other people also will be.
He's still gonna be innocent little Natsu though.
Maybe not as innocent in this story.
muwahahaha.
"We're now stopping at Hargeon! We're now stopping at Hargeon!" The voice announced from the speakers at the front of the train.
A blonde haired girl stood up and with her, a pink haired man who looked like he was about to pass out as he stumbled after.
"Come on Natsu, stop whining!" She scolded, now dragging the sick Natsu by the hood of his black cloak. He glared at her and cursed himself for having motion sickness.
"Shut up…" He mumbled, ready to launch some of his early lunch.
The pair received strange looks from the nearby passengers; it wasn't very often that you would see two suspiciously cloaked mages arguing with each other.
The train came to a sudden halt and they had finally reached the front of the train. There were few people waiting to get off, so they didn't have to stay on for very long.
As they parted with the vehicle, Natsu dramatically hugged the ground and released his tears of happiness.
"We're finally here, thank whatever god or gods are up there!" He exclaimed, smiling at the solid stone.
"Get up, Natsu, you're embarrassing us!" Lucy had a slight flush of pink on her face as she forced him to stand up on his two feet. She sighed as she watched him nearly trip over his own foot. "You should really get over that motion sickness."
Natsu shook his head. "Do you want to kill me? I tried with Igneel. That was hell; he put me on a boat for three days and told me to lead it to an island that was like a hundred metres away. He tied me to that damn demon!" Lucy laughed at his story, while Natsu suffered from sickening flashbacks.
They continued walking down a rocky road, which wasn't the best for Natsu with the remaining side effects of his sickness. He walked slowly, trying his best not to trip. Lucy looked behind her, visibly amused by his actions.
"Cute." She whispered, hoping that no one heard her. Nothing would escape Natsu's ears though. He blushed, though it wasn't very noticeable to anyone but Lucy. She smirked at him, and began walking backwards to show off. "You should already be used to this, you stu-PID DRAGON!" Lucy almost fell to the ground, if it wasn't for her stupid dragon.
"Idiot." Natsu commented, staring at the girl who sat on his back. She remained seated, and he didn't really care, but used her dazed condition to his advantage. "Luce, you're so heavy…" He whined, snapping her out of her thoughts and making her jump off immediately after.
"Sorry, sorry!" Lucy apologised, stepping away from him to give him space to stand up.
Natsu held back a chuckle, happy that she had given the reaction he wanted.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Before she could even react, Lucy was plummeted back onto the ground, this time without the stupid dragon serving as her airbag. She closed her eyes as the person stamped off up the road.
Natsu ran up to her, checking her for any injuries. He didn't find any and diverted his attention toward the person who had just walked over his partner.
It was a man who wore a maroon cape, and blue hair. He wore strange looking rings which Natsu could have sworn were charm rings, but he wouldn't be able to tell from this distance.
"You seriously care about that guy more than me?" Lucy smacked him on the back of the head, making him yowl in pain. "Who the hell was that anyways?" She asked, thirsty for revenge.
"I don't know. He looked pretty damn terrified though."
"For a good reason too." A strong feminine voice added on behind them, and they both turned around.
"Oh my god, is that who I think it is, it is, it's Titania, oh, um.." Lucy nervously fumbled with her words. 'Titania' looked at her, then at Natsu who was staring at Lucy as well.
"Idiot." He mumbled, then turned to the scarlet haired woman. He observed her. The so called 'Titania' wore armour, that he recognised was by the Heart Kreuz brand, and wore black boots like Lucy's.
'…'
'Do they ever feel hot? It's kind of the middle of Summer.' Natsu thought, questioning their health.
"Excuse me, did that man that you two were talking about have blue hair and a flashy cape?" 'Titania' asked, raising a brow. Natsu elbowed Lucy, who still seemed to be talking to herself.
"Y-Yes Ms Erza Scarlet?!" She raised her head suddenly.
"No need for the Ms, please just call me Erza. Did that man that you two were talking about have blue hair and a flashy cape?" Erza repeated, and Lucy shrugged.
"I don't know how he looked, but he probably does." She pointed to Natsu, who looked reluctant to answer.
"Well?" Erza diverted her attention to him, feeling slightly unwelcomed by the increased magic pressure. She could see he was releasing it unintentionally, but it still made her feel uncomfortable.
"Yeah, he did. He also trampled over my ma-"
"He means me, and he meant to say partner!" Lucy slapped a hand over his mouth, blushing furiously. How many times had her face gone red today? Erza nodded, curious by what he was going to say, but deciding not to question it.
"I see. That man was an outlaw known as Bora of Prominence and he has gone by the name 'Salamander' to trick people into thinking he is a famous wizard. On his fingers, he wears rings that make any girl who sees him fall in love." She explained and the two nodded.
"How did you not fall victim to the spell?" Lucy asked.
"She was most likely aware of the spell, charm magic's weakness is awareness." Natsu answered before Erza could even open her mouth.
"You are correct." She confirmed. "Are you two possibly mages?" They nodded.
"Yes."
"Would you like to join me on this mission? I may need some backup as he may have some other people working with him." Erza asked, planning to persuade them to join her guild afterwards.
"Sure!" Lucy happily accepted, a small smile on her face and Natsu nodded, staring at the blonde. He liked her smile a lot. It made his heart fly when she did and he swore that she glowed angelically.
It was evening already in Hargeon. The trio had spent that time searching and found out that the outlaw was going to host a party on his yacht near the evening.
"How are we supposed to get there?!" Lucy pointed at the yacht that was already in the middle of the sea. Erza stood silent, but on the inside she was panicking. She tried to keep her straight face but then lost it as her voice became shaky.
"W-W-Well, we cou-uld, umm…" Natsu smiled at the shaking knight, amused by how she never came up with a plan. On the outside, she looked smarter and more mature than the rest, but actually, she's just as simple minded as the person next to him. Not that he would say that to their faces.
"We could fly." Now the girls were confused.
"How exactly do you expect us to fly?"
"We've been in a relationship for how many years now? Three years but you've known me for seven. Are you an imposter? Are you not my Luce?!" Natsu exclaimed, feeling betrayed by his partner.
"Oh. Right. The fire teleporter thingy." She remembered finally. Then she processed what he had actually said.
"Why the hell did you do that?!" Lucy stomped on Natsu's foot and he was pissed. It hurt a hell lot more since he was wearing sandals and his foot had no protection whatsoever.
"Why am I stuck with the laziest, most clueless yet," She lowered her voice. "hottest," Then raised it again, staring at Natsu's smirk when he heard the word. "and most insane boyfriend in the whole of Fiore!?" She shouted, alarming some of the people passing by.
Erza stood in shock. Her face went the colour of the strawberry on her shortcake she ate recently.
"Y-You two are that type of partners? Oh, I'm sorry for assuming!" She bowed down, her ears already releasing dangerous amounts of smoke.
"We're not like that! Anyway, Natsu, hurry up and teleport us on that thing!" Lucy locked arms with him, hoping to calm down. She looked down at the ground.
"Come here, Erza." Natsu called her over, and took her hand.
"Fire Dragon Secret Art: Blazing Warphole!" Dark red flames surrounded the three in a ring like shape, and soon formed into a circle, that kept getting thinner and thinner until there was nothing left of them.
Even though she didn't remember closing them, Erza opened her eyes and saw that they were on the yacht. A lot of the girls she saw surrounding the 'Salamander' were now tied up and asleep. In front of the group of captured girls, stood Bora and a couple of his goons, staring at the newcomers.
"Why, hello there, B-"
"Natsu, get a hold of yourself!"
"L-Luce, this is it… Spread my ashes across my scarf…" Behind Erza, Lucy was dealing with Natsu's motion sickness, trying to help him. He was a sickly pale green, and looked like he would die at any moment.
"Your damn body can't burn you frogfish!" She gave up and took out a ring of keys from her pocket. Lucy looked at Erza and sighed. "He has motion sickness and search up frogfish if you really want to know." Erza nodded and prepared her own magic.
"Requip!" She was enveloped in a bright light and Lucy was quick to cover her eyes. "Heaven's Wheel Armour!" In Lucy's eyes, Erza now looked like an angel, with her metal wings and long skirt. If she wasn't intimidating earlier, then she was now.
It was her turn now. Lucy ran over to the edge of the boat, took out one of her golden keys and dipped it into the water.
"Well, it's all or nothing." She whispered, looking down at the key that had blue waves representing the spirit.
"Open! Gate of the Water Bearer, Aquarius!" A mermaid lady with blue hair and a nasty look in her eyes jumped out of the sea, scaring some of the people on board. She glared down at Lucy and tched.
"You summoned me now of all times? Well, I guess I could help YOU OUT A BIT!" Aquarius gathered the water from the sea and directed it toward the yacht, sending it back to the port.
"AQUARIUS! WAS THAT MEANT TO HELP ME?!" Lucy screamed, her cloak soaked. She threw it off, revealing her white and blue shirt, and blue skirt. The spirit snickered.
"Oh I'm sorry, I thought it would've been helpful if you had fainted."
"YOU COULD HAVE DROWNED ME!"
"I have to go on a date with my boyfriend now, I'll see you later now!" Aquarius returned back to her world, and Lucy was relieved.
"Stupid Aquarius, I have a much more reliable and cooler boyfriend than yours." She mumbled as she looked at the top of the burning ship.
"So, I heard from a little cardinal that you guys were trying to do something bad with these girls? That isn't very nice." Natsu stood at the top of the ship, happily inside the flames. Erza began to run toward the yacht but was held back by Lucy.
"Let him handle this."
Bora stared at the retreating girls and looked back up at Natsu, who was now sitting on the edge of the ship and out of the fire.
"You have a problem with us trying to make some money?" He asked, preparing his own magic. Natsu hummed.
"I wonder about that too. You know, I really don't, but I don't approve of you walking on my partner like she was the red carpet or something!" He took off his cloak as well, throwing it off to the side. He would buy a replacement afterwards and anyways, having just his vest on was enough for him.
"Prominence Typhoon!" A tornado of flames hit Natsu and Bora laughed along with his group. "You see? He was all bark and no bite."
"Oh really?" Erza looked at the vanishing flames as they were being eaten by Natsu like spaghetti. When he finished, he looked at Bora and flicked a small fireball at him. Bora quickly dodged it and it melted the ground. "Thanks for the meal, but no thanks. That was disgusting. How the hell are you even classified as an outlaw? You're pathetic."
"Shut up! Red Shower!" Out of Bora's magic circle came dozens of small individual flames, all targeted at Natsu. He grinned.
"You know, I can eat fire right?" Natsu ran from the flames, and they crashed down all on the same place. He stopped in front of Lucy and Erza and shot them a thumbs up, but didn't turn around. "Let me show you what real fire magic is like." He took a deep breath of heated air. "Fire Dragon's…"He lifted his head up and got ready to release his magic. "Roar!" A tornado of flames much bigger than Bora's was unleashed towards him at a high speed. It burned everything it passed, even if it didn't directly come in contact with it.
Bora sent off towards the buildings with the flames, and his body hit the bell tower and gracefully fell to the pavement. People outside looked horrified when they saw him burning and screaming.
Natsu walked up to him with Erza and Lucy close behind. While Lucy looked unsure, Erza was horrified at the brutal actions of Natsu. Bora's skin was turned into a greyer colour, and his blue hair was also dissipating.
"Why would you kill him like that?!" Erza shouted. She had no idea who these people were and now one of them was burning a living human.
"He's not gonna die, I'll put him out. He needs to be taught a lesson anyways." Natsu answered, flicking his wrist and putting the fire out. "No one is gonna know I did this." He whispered, just so Lucy and Erza heard.
Heavy footsteps reached everyone's ears, the councilmen where coming. Natsu cursed and grabbed Lucy and Erza's wrists.
"Fire Dragon Secret Art: Blazing Warphole!"
Feels good to finally write this AU, it's been on my mind ever since I started watching FT (●´ω｀●) and that was a year ago.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask~
I'll answer them in the next chapter, but won't give away spoilery stuff. You can ask me anything, just as long as it isn't anything too personal.
'Blazing Warphole' - I couldn't come up with any other name. It's just a teleportation cocoon.
