Yeah, I made this because I was bored and I wanted to. I'm not going to update a lot on this story until some of my others are out of the way, but I promise I will update when I can and I will complete it. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth when stories aren't finished. Anyway, please tell me if I should continue! Please leave a review and favorite! Farewell and Enjoy!

-Let there be midnight

ME NO OWN FAIRY TAIL!

Not Alone

He fell to his knees, eyes wide with pain as his hands went to grab at his hair. A strangled cry left his lips as his vision blurred. Memories flew past his eyes, only to be forgotten a second later. First was his present. His friends, his happiness, battles, pain, and sadness were forgotten. Second was his past. Lisanna's presumed death, joining Fairy Tail, losing Igneel, finding Igneel, and the memories that layed before that, already locked up during time. Third was his identity. His name, magic, smile, and… heart. He forgot it all with just a wisp of time, a second of an hour, he has forgotten it all. He didn't even know why his hands were at his head anymore. Why were they there? Where was he anyway? He dropped his hands and looked around with big charcoal eyes. There stood a blonde haired girl with chocolate brown eyes; she was screaming something with a look of deep concern in her eyes. Next to her stood a man, a little older than he(or at least he might be older, who knows). He had black hair and dark navy blue eyes. He was shirtless with a weird dark blue symbol upon his chest. He was also screaming something, the same as the blonde girl. Next was a red haired girl, older than him, he knew that one for sure this time. Her eyes were a deep violet and she wore armor around herself, a sword held tightly in her hand. She was screaming what the other two were screaming. He cast his eyes down to the ground where he heard the fourth scream come from. It was a blue cat with teary eyes. He seemed to yell the loudest.

Finally, he looked back up, the confusion over whelming.

"Who… who are you?" The four yelling halted almost instantly as they seemed to freeze, to falter in spot. He looked at each one of them once more, his eyebrows creased in confusion.

"W-what do you mean Natsu?" the blonde asked him. He looked back at her, confusion and concern deep within her eyes.

"Natsu…?" he whispered to himself confused. The other four widen their eyes in surprised as they took a step back in shock. He looked back at them. Just what were they so confused about?

"Cut out the act Flame Brain!" Gray shouted to him, making the boy even more confused.

"What act?" he tilted his head in confusion, confirming their suspicions.

"Natsu, it's us!" the blue cat cried. "Happy!" It held a paw to its chest. "Lucy, Erza, and Gray!" He pointed at the rest in hopes he would remember. He tilted his head to the side in confusion. Was he supposed to know them? "No way…" he whispered in shock as his eyes seemed to widen even more.

"He doesn't remember us…" Gray-the black haired shirtless man-said in a shaky voice, looking back at the blonde hair girl whose name is Lucy and the scarlet haired girl in armor named Erza. He looked at them confused. Was he supposed to remember them? Erza stepped forward, her sword disappearing as she knelt down in front of him.

"Natsu," she said. "Tell me what you remember." Her voice sounded demanding, but nevertheless, Natsu thought hard on what he did remember, trying to figure out himself. That was the problem though. His memory was blank with not a trace of memory except a few moments ago.

"I-I don't remember anything…" he trailed off, looking at the ground with fixed eyes. Erza stood up in anger as she glared at the enemy who snickered and clapped in joy.

"What did you do to him?" she growled dangerously at him as a new set of armor adorned her. The man, regardless of the danger he was in, laughed even more, clapping his hands louder than before as if this sight was meant to amuse him. "Answer me!" she shouted, anger filling her voice even more.

"Okay! Fine, I'll answer you." The smile never left his lips as he swayed a little, never once falling from unbalance. "Without the dragon's memories, fate will never be fulfilled." It sounded like he was telling them a prophecy they themselves did not know. Before they could utter a single curse or word to him, the cruel wicked man disappeared in a fog of blue smoke, leaving not one trace.

"Without the dragon's memories, fate will never be fulfilled?" Lucy voiced out in confusion. "What the heck does that mean?" She turned to Gray as if the man would answer her question, but Gray just shook his head at her.

"I don't know, but whatever it is, it is defiantly not good." He turned back to Natsu who looked at the scene in total confusion and slight fear.

"Does he mean me?" he asked in a shaky voice. Erza turned around, changing back into her normal armor so she wouldn't scare Natsu since he is in this state. Natsu looked up at them with wild eyes that held confusion and fear in their charcoal depths.

"Natsu—" Erza started, but the pink haired boy cut her off.

"Answer me!" he roared. "Does he mean me or not?" Gray and Erza shared a look, Erza nodding as she slowly started to walk towards Natsu. Natsu backed up in fear of the scarlet haired girl, his body shaking uncontrollably. "Tell me…" he demanded in a weak voice. Before anyone could utter a single word, Erza hit Natsu on the back of his head, successfully knocking him out.

"What was that for?" Happy cried, tears falling down his face in anger. Erza looked back at the Exceed as she draped Natsu over her shoulder, not answering him. "Why did you do that to Natsu?" he asked, looking from Erza to Gray as he shook in anger.

"Happy, it needed to be done." Gray said softly.

"Don't give me that!" he shouted. "Natsu was afraid and you just had to knock him out? What good does that do?" Erza and Gray looked away, refusing to meet Happy's eyes. "What good will that do?! Tell me!"

"Happy…" Lucy walked up to the cat and knelt down, putting a hand on his head as if to calm him down. "If Erza didn't do what she had done, there would be no telling what Natsu would've done. He was afraid and being afraid with no memories can be bad. He would have a mental breakdown and fought us." She spoke softly as if to reassure the cat. Happy turned to her, tears falling down his face as his paws were clenched tight at his side.

"Without the dragon's memories…" Happy said shakily, teary eyes now looking at the ground in front of him. "Fate will never fulfilled." He looked back up at Lucy as she softly stroked his head to calm him down. "The reason why he wiped Natsu's memories was because he didn't want fate to be fulfilled? Just how important was the future to him that he had to wipe Natsu's memories? How important was Natsu to do so?" Happy started to talk to himself as the others looked back to the unconscious pink haired dragon slayer who was draped over Erza's shoulder, thinking the same thing.

"Whatever it is," Gray started, looking back to Happy. "We have to get Natsu's memories back before anything bad happens."

-Fairy Tail's infirmary-

Master's eyes were closed as tense silence filled the room. He hummed to himself as he thought long and hard about the news Team Natsu had given him.

"Master," Mirajane said, snapping him out of his thoughts. Master looked up at Mira who stood beside Natsu on the bed as he slept peacefully. "Poluchka is on her way. I had Jet go fetch her." Master grunted with a nod as he closed his eyes once more, his arms crossed over his chest as he let the silence fall on them. Mira shifted uncomfortably as she sat down on one of the chairs beside Natsu, biting her lip as she did so. "Are you sure about not letting Happy and the rest see him?" she asked him. Master cracked open an eyes, looking at Mira for a few seconds before his gaze shifted to lie on Natsu.

"It would do no good if they saw him like this." he commented. "He's in pretty bad shape as it is and they're not taking it too well that his memories are gone."

"Yeah, but don't you think that they should be able to see him? He is their friend." she said the last part softly as her blue eyes shifted to her feet. Master looked at her before he closed his eye once more.

"Either way, if they see him now or later they will be sad, but it's better if they know his condition before seeing him. It might shed some light for them." Mira bit her lip, her mind disagreeing with the Master, but she said no more as the room was engulfed in silence once more.

"Master, what do you think about what Gray told us. 'Without the dragon's memories, fate will never be fulfilled', It sounds a lot like a prophecy." She looked up at the old man. "Is it?"

"You seem full of questions today." he remarked gruffly. Mira looked away, feeling quiet ashamed of herself as the Master smiled softly to her. "No need to feel ashamed." He sighed heavily as he looked up at the ceiling above them. "It does sound like a prophecy, so I had Freed look through some books for me in case it will come up for him, and if it doesn't…" he trailed off, looking at her again. "Then we are as blind as a bat in this." Mira nodded in agreement as she gazed at Natsu's peaceful sleeping face.

"When do you think he will awaken?" she asked him.

"Soon," he replied as a thought suddenly came to mind. "Mira, why don't you prepare him some food for when he wakens, knowing Natsu, he will be hungry." He smiled at the girl as she nodded and left the room. He wanted to place her mind off of Natsu so she wouldn't get sick worrying for him. She and the others are bound to do so sometime if he won't remember anything any time soon. Master sighed once more as he stared at Natsu, feeling his heart tighten in sorrow. He hated seeing his child like this. He felt like a terrible parent for letting sorrow and fear fall on his children, and he hated himself for it. He swore he would do anything in his power to get Natsu to remember before something bad happened, which he felt was drawing very near.

"Natsu," his voice was gruff as he spoke to the sleeping child. "You better remember soon and fast, there is no telling what might happen in your absence." He looked out of the window at the afternoon sun that shined in. It felt dreary to him for some reason and depressing all the same. "And I don't think your friends will be able to stand you not remembering them, it breaks their hearts to see their friend—no, family like this and it breaks my heart too." In the corner of his eye, he saw Natsu's hand twitch and the corners of his mouth turn into a slight frown as if he heard in his sleeping state. Silence fell on the room once more as the Master gazed out of the window while Natsu slept.

It felt like hours to the Master which was only a few minutes or so tell the door opened to reveal the pink haired hermit that had a scowl apparent on her face as she instantly moved to Natsu's bedside, her scarlet cape bellowing after her.

"Poluchka is there anything you can do?" the Master asked her. Poluchka glared at him from the corner of her eyes in slight anger.

"Of course I can." she snapped. "It was simple magic used on this child, but the effects are large." Master raised his eyebrow at her in confusion as she went on. "All the spell did was remove his memories and store it deep inside of his mind where it is difficult to reach, even by magic itself. The spirit doesn't know nor respond to the existence of the memories because it does not know it is there, resulting in the spells name, Lost Fragments."

"Lost Fragments?" echoed the Master as his eyebrows creased slightly. Poluchka nodded as she moved a hand to hover over Natsu's closed eyelids, a soft radiant light glowing.

"He loses the fragments of his memories, or so it seems. They are just locked deep in his mind and it is difficult to reach them. Do you understand Makarov?" She turned her head to look at him slightly as she kept her hand above Natsu's eyes. Master nodded as his eyes shifted to the hand above Natsu.

"What are you doing?" he asked. Poluchka looked back to her patient, her scowl disappearing.

"When he wakes, he would be frightened so I'm making sure that does not happen." she answered. Master grunted saying no more as he let the hermit work on her patient.

After a few moments, Master left the room leaving the two pink haired occupants alone. Poluchka frowned slightly at Natsu her eyes glinting with something before it disappeared just as it made itself known. "The world is closing around you foolish child and yet you can do nothing about it." Her voice held a hint of sadness as she went on. "Your past is coming in close to you and you don't even know it, Natsu Dragneel."

-Fairy Tail's Main Hall-

The table that sat Team Natsu was gloomy as the occupants were not in the mood to talk at the moment, not even Happy wanted to flirt with Charla or eat fish. It was a depressing sight to see and be near. Master made his way to them with a frown.

"It does no good to wallow in self-pity." They looked up slightly at the Master, only to return their stares to where they had originated. "Natsu's going to be alright you fools." he sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "His memories weren't permanently lost but they are hidden in the depths of his mind where even magic itself can't be of use." Happy looked up at Master with depressed looking eyes.

"Does that mean he will never remember us?" he asked softly. Master shook his head.

"No, it will just take a while for him to remember and it might help if you guys slowly show things to help him do so." The rest looked up at him in hope.
"Really?" Lucy asked as hope shined in her brown eyes. Master nodded with a slight smile.

"Really." This seemed to boost up the mood around the table as they started to smile a little even though it was a little depressing. Master's smile brightened as they started to talk about a plan to get Natsu's memories back, happiness filling his heart. You aren't alone Natsu.
