Chapter 1

Natsu Dragneel B-Class Mage of Fairy Tail couldn't remember when he left the guild as he walked down the streets of Magnolia with a look of barely controled rage visible on his face but he had to get out of there his thoughts still on Lisanna. 'I'm sorry Lisanna, I should of gone with them, I could of saved you, I could have done something. Please forgive me Lisanna if only i'd stood up to Mira you would still be here with me and Happy.' Natsu thought as memories of her played in his mind the ground under his feet catching fire from the anger he still had for Elfman. He was drowning in his own sorrow and memories as he made his way down the road towards his home leaving Happy at the Guild for know so he wouldn't accidentally snap at him. Natsu wiped the tears from his face remembering them coming through the door a few hours ago after coming back from the easy mission that Mira wanted to take alone. He grew angry and couldn't help it when he knocked out the still injured Elfman after finding out Lisanna was killed because he lost control of his powers going on a rampage. Natsu didn't hate Elfman for what happened but couldn't take the chance of losing what little restraint he had at the time attacking him.

So lost in his thoughts he wasn't watching were he was going when he walked right into an old man knocking an old leather bound book from his hands. "Sorry gramps i'm just having the worst day of my life right now." Natsu told him wiping his tear stained face as he bent down to pick up the old mans book. 'Great I can't even walk properly without knocking into people.' He thought with a sigh.

Looking up Natsu was confused when he looked up because he couldn't spot the old man or anybody else on the road for that matter making him wonder where everybody was. Looking back down at the old book in his hand he got curious and decided to read the first page. It had diagrams, weird magic circles, and notes scribbled down by the previous owner probably the old man from the fancy writing. Closing it he glanced at the books tilte and read it 'Alchemy and the different Transmutation Circle's.'

Needing something, anything really to take his mind off of Lisanna's death Natsu pocketed the book taking it home to read to get his mind on something else other than the Guild. After getting home he set down at his table and started reading only to find out the book was complicated even with all the footnotes the last owner provided explaining things. What grabbed his attention though was that Alchemy was a Lost Magic and that it could accomplish a multitude of different things if you had the right items on hand. Some of the examples that interested him were of repairing broken objects then reverting them back to it's starting materials, and that the energy that governed over life was covered in detail.

'This Lost Magic is my chance to bring you back to me Lisanna. It will take me some time but i'll learn Alchemy and bring you back to us.' Natsu thought his eyes gaining back the fire that died earlier today as he read up on the list of things he would have to study if he wanted to use Alchemy. Placing the book down on the table he headed out towards the book store to start getting the books, ignoring the warning on the first page that human transmutation was strictly forbidden.

The weeks went by with Natsu slowly distanced himself from the guild as he forced himself to study math, chemistry, physics, and ancient alchemical theory. It took him six months of staying up late nights studying and gathering the supplies needed while trying not to look suspicious when he was around his freinds but somehow he managed to pull it off.

The rain outside was picking up when Natsu finally finished drawing the last bit of the transmutation circle. "Ok! The circle's finished and I double checked all my mistakes. All right, next is the chemical makeup of the human body. Thirty-five liters of water, twenty kilograms of carbon, four liters of ammonia, one and a half kilograms of lime, eight hundred grams of phosphorus, two hundred and fifty grams of salt, one hundred grams of nitrate, eighty grams of sulfer, seven and a half grams of fluorine, five grams of iron, three grams of silicon... and a drop of Mira and Elfman's blood for the DNA. I sent Happy over to Levy's for the night and everything looks okay." Natsu talked outloud trying to calm his nerves while rereading all the notes he wrote down in a small dark red journal the clerk gave him.

He hesitated for a brief second before clapping his hands together and slamming them down on the transmutation circle. 'It's working! It's working! Please come back to me Lisanna.' Natsu thought with a laugh watching the lighy blue electricity dancing around the room. His laughing died suddenly when he saw a slither of red enter the mix. 'Damn not a rebound not now, not when i'm so close!' Natsu sreamed in his head while feeling the worst pain he ever felt in his life. His screams ripped threw the night as thunder boomed outside. He continued screaming in pure agony as he felt his body breaking apart until everything went dark.

Natsu slowly stood up on shaky legs to find nothing around him. Looking around he saw nothing but white and a gate that was like nothing he'd ever seen, but he stopped looking at the gate and focused his thoughts on the transmutation he'd just attempted. It had to have done something, anything to bring her back to life if he wasn't in Magnolia anymore. It had to because the massive gate standing in front of him was covered in advanced formulas he'd never seen before.

'It's been years since anybody was idiotic enough to use Alchemy for a human transmutation.' Natsu jumped spinning around his fist ablaze ready for a fight, but froze seeing a shapeless body and that creepy smile it had. After seeing his reaction the figures smile grew as it talked. 'My a Dragon Slayer haven't seen one of your kind in a while and Igneels child too this is so ironic'Upon hearing this thing speak Natsu comes out of his shock shouting "How do you know all that!? Who, what are you!?" The creepy laugh he gave out unnearved Natsu just as much as it's voice. 'Who am i you ask Natsu Dragneel?'

'One name you have for me is the world, or you can call me the universe. Or hell even call me God if your feeling poetic our perhaps im the Truth. I am all these things but i'm also you.'Shaking his head in anger and frustration Natsu shouted out losing his temper. "That doesn't make any sence, I read that book cover top cover and it told me after the human transmutation i'd be reunited with Lisanna! Not meet something that claims it's a God!"

Chuckling at the young boy's misfortune the being known as Truth told the young dragon slayer. 'You have no idea what forces you've played with do you young dragon? The forces over life and death are mine to command and mine alone no mortal not even a god slayer could handle the power I have. The book as you call it didn't it have a warning that told you that using human transmutation was strictly forbidden? Or maybe you just didn't care about the consequences that you've caused.'

Natsu shaking in anger at Truth shouted out "To hell with the consequences! I wanted her back I loved Lisanna! Why else would I willingly break that damned law!" It was silent in the endless void neither speaking as Truth's face turned into a frown before speaking 'You are a fool traveling here using Alchemy for something that was never here to begin with, Igneel would be disappointed with you young dragon. You knowingly commited a sin trying to bring the woman back to you and for what? This Lisanna may never return the thing you human's call 'love' or did you think that bringing her back to life would make you a hero in her eyes?'

Truth shook its head in disappointment as the gate behind Natsu slowly creaked open before speaking 'How disappointing you humans are. One after another reaching out trying to obtain life when there will always be death to each and every one of you. A price must always be paid too for your lives and that is the end of it when your last breath leaves your body. When the fire in your soul dies out and your body turns to dust scattering into the wind, Death is the price for Life, but regardless.'

With that the gate behind him flung wide open and Natsu turned hearing the sounds of countless voices screaming in agony. Black voidless hands reached out grabbing Natsu dragging him towards the gate fighting and screaming to be let go when his fire couldn't burn them. He saw through all the hands as the gate was closing Truths amused smile.'Quite child this is what you wanted isn't it. So I will show you the truth of your actions.' Those words were the last thing Natsu heard as the gate slammed shut.

Trapped inside the gate Natsu felt like his mind was being ripped apart as to much knowledge was being shown to him. He screamed in agony clutching his head in pain. "It's to much! It's to much! Make it stop please make it stop!" Natsu yelled in pain until he felt something grabbing onto his arm his eyes widened in horror seeing Truth there with that face splitting grin on its face. 'Did you forget that I said there were consequences to using Alchemy child and I think I have the perfect punishment in mind.' Truth told him as Natsu felt immense pain coursing through his body.

Watching his arm being torn apart atom by atom he screamed in terror "Stop it! I said STOP IT!" As a bright light consumed him he never noticed the bright red ball of light shining among the darkness in the gate.

Back in his home Natsu was bleeding badly and barly able to register his surroundings even though he knew one thing without looking his left arm was gone. Blood was starting to pool around him and as he looked towards the center of the room Natsu's eyes widdened in horror. He got sick seeing the monstrosity that he had created. Bones protruding from a mass of flesh, the skull twisted looking almost demonic as it tried to speak holding a mutilated hand out towards him.

Natsu was shocked repeatedly mumbling to himself "This isn't what I wanted not this... this monster. This isn't what I wanted.." As he passed out from the combination of shock and bloodloss.

It was a few minutes later that Porlyusica walked in seeing the red sparks coming from her home. "Idiot human. You were stupid enough and had a run in with 'Him'. She sighed taking a quick look of her surroundings. "We'll I can't just leave you here so I might as well fix you up."

It had been eleven days since Porlyusica found him in the remains of his home keeping Natsu in her spare room as she healed his injuries and grafted on his new metal arm. Natsu was depressed the fire in his eyes gone as he stared out the window his task at reviving Lisanna failed but his mind working on the ton information he knew. So after watching him just stare out the window every day Porlyusica decided to call in an old friend to get the kid out of her house quicker.

After two days there was a knock on her door and she flashed a small smile before yelling at Natsu "Don't just stand there get the door i'm busy!" A smack with her broom had Natsu running to open the door only to freeze seeing a goliathian of a man standing in front of him.

Natsu was sweating bullets as he asked the giant "Hello are you here looking for Porlyusica?" With a nod from him he stepped aside as the man ducked down walking in. Following behind him was a rather attractive looking woman despite her appearance and being middle aged. She was tall with a hard dark eyes and a slender frame with a curvaceous yet well toned figure. He would have stared but from what little experience he had with girls Natsu knew that would get him killed.

A few minutes passed with Natsu looking worried and the woman tapping her foot on the ground finally getting tired of waiting she yelled out. "You called me here for a reason Porlyusica so you might as well come out and tell me what you want!"

Only seconds after her shouting did Porlyusica came out of the next room her eyes narrowed at the woman for yelling inside her house. "Thanks for coming Izumi, Sig. The reason I called you is the boy here used Alchemy and broke the big rule. So he needs training in the arts and he need them now."

The now named Izumi turned and glared hard at Natsu as she asked "Pray tell me 'BOY' why in the world did you use Alchemy? Why did you try and use human transmutation." She grabs Natsu's new metal arm and said sternly "So you met 'Him' and he took his pay from you for your idiotic attempt. So tell me 'BOY' why I should train you in the lost magic of Alchemy? Why should I wast my time when it seems you don't understand what you have done wrong."

Natsu who was frozen in shock came back to reality snapping at Izumi "I did use Alchemy for the woman I loved, so fuck you! You have no right to say what i've done was wrong when in my heart it felt right!" Izumi puched him in the jaw sending him crashing through the window as she roared out following him.

"Whats right? Whats RIGHT! 'BOY' you must be an idiot to not pay attention to all the warnings that covered the subject! Do you honestly think your the only one who has tried to use this magic!? I've seen other poor sobs like you who have walked through my door begging to learn Alchemy so i'll tell you what I told them."

"Give me a reason why. Why should I waste my time teaching some brat who would probably not pay attention to anything I say and probably blow himself up just for the hell of using this magic?" Natsu threw a punch at Izumi that she just grabbed and threw him over her shoulder. "I want magic, I need to learn how to use it! I don't want to loose anybody I care about. I don't want people to die when I can fight and protect them!" Natsu got down on his knees tears in his eyes as he bowed his head towards the dirt begging her.

"Please teach me how to use Alchemy I need to become a proper Alchemist so I can find a way to get my arm back." He begged her not looking up while leaving out he still had thoughts on bringing Lisanna back. Izumi crossed her arms underneath her chest and glared hard at the boy saying codly "Fine 'BOY' i'm doing this for two reasons. One to make sure you don't make another idiotic mistake and call that wretched gate again and two more importantly Porlyusica called in a huge faver to get me here."

While Izumi was yelling at Natsu Porlyusica turned towards Sig fixing her window saying "I'll have to tell Makarov he's out traveling to clear his head while you take him back to Dublith for his training there's no need for anybody to find out what the boy has done as long as you leave tonight."

"What about the thing he pulled through the gate what happened to it?" Izumi asked walking up to them while dragging an unconscious Natsu by his foot. She'd need to pound some manners into the brat while working on his skills.

"I dealt with the it and any evidence of what went on that night so nobody could find out what he did." She informed them leaving out the fire that burnt away any trace of that thing. "How long do you think it will take you to turn him into a proper Alchemist I can only cover for you for so long?" Porlyusica asked while she was examining Natsu's new arm to make sure nothing was damaged.

"I'm not sure I already have another student and it depends on how badly he wants to learn." Izumi told her as memories of her old students came to mind.
