Nathan of the Fire Dragon

Disclaimer: I, unfortunately for me, do not own Fairy Tail. God damn I wish I did.

Chapter 1- Fairy Tail, X805

Nathan woke up. It was his eighth birthday yesterday. His parents promised him he could join Fairy Tail the day after his eighth birthday. He was excited as hell. The Seventh Guildmaster of Fairy Tail was a man named Gildarts Clive, who was also the Fifth Guildmaster, but he retired before he was officially named Guildmaster and the Sixth Guildmaster was chosen. The Sixth was also the Third Guildmaster, Makarov Dreyar. Nathan called Gildarts 'Gramps', because Gildarts always treated Nathan's father as a son. Makarov, however, mysteriously died, nobody knows how. Nathan left his room and went into the living room, where his parents, younger sister, the baby twins (one a boy and one a girl) and the pet cat were waiting. When I say cat, it wasn't really a cat, it was an exceed, a strange-looking cat with the ability to fly. His father, Natsu, smiled and gave him a white scarf.
"Igneel left this for you in his will," Natsu told his son, "You wouldn't remember him, he died seven years ago. You were a baby then."
Then, his mother, Lucy, gave him a celestial key. Not just any key, but one of the zodiac keys.
"This spirit was very brave, he always protected me when help was needed. You are a Fire Dragon Slayer, Nathan, but you are also a celestial spirit mage. Go ahead, make a contract with him."
Nathan smiled and shouted, "I summon you to my side at once! Open, gate of whatever you are!"
Smoke appeared out of nowhere, and once it had cleared, a man in a suit, wearing glasses, was standing there. He had ginger hair, not red, more orange, and the style of the hair made him look slightly like a lion. He raised a hand to greet his new mage.
"Dude, you really need Cancer to sort your hair out," Nathan laughed.
"HEY, SHUT UP YOU STUPID KID!" the man replied, "Lucy, who is this kid, he looks like an eight year old cross between you and... oh, right."
"Nathan, meet your new celestial spirit, Leo. He prefers to be called Loke, but you can call him Leo if you want," Lucy smiled, "And Loke, meet your new mage, Nathan Dragneel."
The exceed stepped forward, "Now for my gift! FISH FOR BREAKFAST! NICE AND RAW, TOO! Enjoy!"
"Happy, wait, humans don't tend to like raw fi-" Nathan began, but the blue exceed stopped him there.
"YOU WILL EAT IT!" he shouted.
Happy flew out of the room and came back with eight plates of raw fish. The six humans, the one exceed and the one celestial spirit sat down at the table and prepared to eat.
Natsu asked Happy, "Hey, could you bring Luisa's gift?"
"Sure!" Happy smiled and flew out to Luisa's room to get her gift.
Natsu nodded at Nathan and they used their flames to cook their fish. Natsu cooked Lucy's, while Nathan cooked his siblings', as they can't use their flames yet (except Nathan's six year old sister, Luisa, but her flames aren't quite powerful enough yet). Loke was a lion spirit, so he liked his fish raw, but everyone else scoffed their fish down, so Happy wouldn't catch them eating cooked fish. Soon Happy came back and gave Nathan his gift from Luisa. He smiled at his sister as he saw that the gift was Natsu's old clothes from when he was eight, that he always wore when going to the guild. Nathan waited for Loke and Happy to finish their fish and then got changed into his new clothes. After putting on his new scarf, he went to the guild with his family, with the exception of Loke, who went back to the celestial spirit realm. Fairy Tail had just gained a very powerful mage.

The bartender of the guild hall, 'Aunt' Mirajane Dreyar, smiled when she saw the family entered the guild hall. She walked up to them.
"Natsu! Lucy! Happy! And of course, the kids! How good to see you guys!" Mira beamed, "I preume you're here, because Nathan is to join Fairy Tail? That's amazing! My son, Larry, joined today too! Oh yes, we can't forget Jellal and Erza's twins, Jimmy and Eve! In a couple of years, Gray and Juvia's daughter Julia is joining the guild, and so is Wendy and Romeo's son Walter!"
Mira stamped Nathan's hand. She told him that Larry and his father were sparring in the woods if he wants to join them. Nathan always got on well with the Dreyars, except for Ivan. Larry was his best friend, and his father Laxus, who was also Nathan's godfather, taught him a trick or two. Nathan smiled and ran into the woods and met up with the two mages.
"Larry! Laxus!" Nathan called out, "It's me, Nathan! I joined Fairy Tail as an official U-Class Mage!"
The mage system changed slightly since X791. Allow me to explain- every new mage is a U-Class Mage. To become an F-Class Mage, a U-Class Mage must defeat an F-Class Mage. After an F-Class Mage defeats another F-Class Mage, they become an E-Class Mage. Any E-Class Mage aged 16 or over may take part in the annual D-Class Tournament, in which eight E-Class mages will become a D-Class Mage. After that, it's all annual tournaments, to C-Class, then B-Class, A-Class, S-Class, then Z-Class, X-Class, 3rd Class, 2nd Class and finally 1st Class. Laxus is a 2nd Class Mage, along with Natsu and Mira. Lucy, on the other hand, is an A-Class Mage. Nathan and Larry are U-Class Mages.
"That's great, kid!" Laxus replied, "Now, I'll teach you both a few tricks. After you've mastered these tricks, pick an F-Class Mage to fight. If you win, well, you know what happens.

It took Larry and Nathan three weeks to learn these tricks from 'Uncle' Laxus. They then entered the guild hall, ready to pick some F-Class Mages. However, there was some commotion from the middle of the guild hall. Nathan walked up to a red-haired woman and her blue-haired husband.
"Uncle Jellal, Aunt Erza," Nathan asked them, "What's going on?"
"What's going on?" Jellal replied, "My son is about to become an F-Class Mage is what's going on!"
"I'll hold you up so you can see," Erza added as she picked Nathan up, "There! Can you see?"
Nathan nodded, "Yep! Thanks a lot, Aunt Erza!"
Nathan watched as James 'Jimmy' Fernandes, son of Jellal and Erza, was about to fight one of the toughest F-Class Mages in Fairy Tail- Gary Fullbuster, son of Gray and Juvia.
