A/N: Hello, everyone. So, I've been watching a lot of FT lately and decided that I'd dive into the fan fiction world because I have ideas for things. Anyway's, I hope you enjoy.

Chapter one - Welcome to Heart Fire

Crack.

The door to the Heart fire guild hall flew open, announcing the arrival of three figures clad in cloaks, masking their faces partially. One of them stood, their foot slowly travelling back down to the ground, at the front of the trio and pulled his hood back, revealing a mess of pale blonde hair and striking grey-green eyes that gazed around the guild hall. He grinned sheepishly as he took in the dozens of eyes staring back at him with a mix between humor and annoyance.

"We're home" His voice, a not quite fully developed tone, announced, breaking the silence that had greeted him.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, busting down that door? We just replaced it less than a week ago." A woman's voice dragged his eyes to a beautiful Pink-haired girl with chocolate colored eyes and generous curvature. She glared at him, her eyes small daggers as she looked him over. Wait, pink hair? Someone else in the guild had pink hair if he recalled correctly. Natsu Dragneel, Fire dragon slayer or the Salamander of Fairy tail as he used to be known before Fairy tail disbanded.

"Just thought I'd make an entrance, you remember how I was Ignea, always one who loved to announce their arrival." The pinkette froze, her eyes taking him in as he smirked. The blonde had always been one for making an entrance, even when he'd been ten, before he'd gone off with his dad to train for the last eight years.

"You haven't changed a bit have you, Sparky?" She stood nose to nose with him, or at least tried to as she was a good six inches shorter than he was and had to stand on tip toes to do so. "You better be able to replace that door. I'm not replacing it. You broke it now fix it." She growled, her eyes narrowing as she stared him down. She still had the fiery temper he remembered she had except right now, she looked scary as hell as she took on a demonic aura. The man met her gaze, knowing full well that even if she'd gotten stronger, he'd been training for the last eight years and hadn't spent that time being lazy. No longer was he the small, scrawny, weak kid he'd been but now, he was tall, built and strong. He'd not only trained his magic but he'd trained his physical self.

"Neither have you, sweet cheeks. I'll tell you what, I'll replace it if you battle me." He said smoothly, grinning. He wanted desperately to show her just how much his training had paid off, how much better he'd gotten.

"I'll battle you anytime."

"Children, if you're going to fight, take it outside." They turned to see a blonde woman who looked strikingly like her daughter and Ignea nodded, brushing past him. He looked over at his parents, wondering what they thought, and saw his mother laughing while his dad nodded in approval. Tonight, everyone would probably party, as Heart fire was a lot like Fairy tail in that they found any reason to celebrate.

"Everyone, let's celebrate the return of our Nakama, for they have returned to us safely." He heard a female voice bark as he left the guild hall, following the scent of strawberries and lavender to the back of the guild where an open field was held, intentionally set up for battles as it seemed to have a spell around it that would keep anyone and anything outside the battle zone safe from stray attacks.

"Ready to get your ass kicked Sparky?" Ignea asked, meeting his gaze with a deadpan expression. He grinned and stepped into the battle zone, feeling his lightning magic begin to run through his veins.

"I don't think so, sweet cheeks. I've been away for eight years. I didn't spend that time lazing about doing nothing. I hope you're ready to get your pretty ass kicked." She rolled her eyes before reaching for her keys. He'd almost forgotten she was a celestial wizard, that reminded him that he had something to give her later.

"Open, gate of the archer, Saggitarius." A golden light appeared before a man dressed in a horse costume entered the battle field.

"What can I do for you today Princess moshi-moshi" Ignea grinned as she pointed to him.

"We're gonna teach him a lesson on why you don't break down the doors in my guild." The spirit nodded and loaded his magical bow as Ignea drew her own bow, this one was a sleek black color shaped like a pair of wings that seemed to fold on themselves when she pulled back the string.

"Come at me, Princess" He mocked, using the term her spirit had used as he let his lightning flow through him, turning into his element. He may not be a dragon slayer like his father but he was quite powerful like his father. "Lightning burst" He said, charging at the pair of them as both spirit and mage launched arrows at him. Igneas bow produced an arrow made entirely out of light that hit him square in the chest but he kept going, hitting her spirit with his magic and the archer spirit disappeared back to the spirit world.

"Gomenasai Princess moshi-moshi" She looked at Storm in shock, her chocolate eyes narrowed as she drew back her bow again, releasing another arrow of pure energy at him. This time, without his magic coating him, he stumbled back from the impact and drew a sharp breath.

"Open, gate of the ram, Aries" A young woman with pink hair that looked to be made of wool appeared, her eyes down cast.

"Gomenasai." Storm didn't know what the woman was apologizing for as he coated his palm in lightning, intent to send her quickly back before the ram spirit produced a ball of wool that seemed to stop his attack. He gazed at the spirit in shock.

"Not so strong now are you, Sparky?" He didn't give her a chance to do anything else as he sent a charge of electricity at her spirit, knocking out the poor ram spirit and he watched Igneas eyes widen at her spirits injuries.

"Aries, I'm so sorry." She said before turning to the boy, a determined look in her eyes. "You've gotten stronger, Sparky." She stated before she darted at him, intent on taking him down as she tackled him, taking both of them to the ground where they tussled for a few moments, each trying to overpower the other before he finally pinned her, using his larger size to keep her down. She looked up at him, her eyes shooting daggers for a moment before she went limp under him. Thinking he'd won, Storm loosened his grip and Ignea took the opportunity to surprise him, pushing up suddenly and managing to pin him, straddling him.

"you're not the only one who's been training." He grinned up at her, admiring her form from where he lay before he did something he didn't normally do; surrendered.

"Alright, you got me sweet cheeks, next time though, you won't get so lucky." He said as she smiled victoriously and stood up, dusting herself off as she tried to catch her breath. He was quite tired himself, having used about half his magic in their spar and he stood up.

"Now, about that door..." He laughed.

"On it, Sweet cheeks. It'll be fixed in no time. Let's get back to the guild." she laughed along with him, having actually missed him surprisingly but that didn't mean she'd forgive him quite yet for breaking down the door.

"It better be. And quit calling me Sweet cheeks."

"Only if you stop calling me Sparky" She rolled her eyes. Like she would ever stop calling him by his nickname.

"Oi, both of you, hurry your asses up, everyone's waiting to find out who won." Ignea looked up to see a tiny girl with wild black hair and crimson eyes grinning devilishly at them.

"We're coming, Lucia, jeez." The other girl laughed, her laugh just like her fathers.

"Gihihi, move it." He rolled his eyes as he walked past the tiny spitfire daughter of Gajeel and Levy and felt her punch his shoulder. For a tiny girl, she could hit damned hard.

A hooded figure ran through the forest, her amber eyes only looking forward because if she looked back, the likeliness of her being caught were higher. Her ears twitched beneath the hood, hearing footsteps behind her as she ran.

"Aria, you can't run from me forever" The voice sent chills down her spine as she continued to run, her speed heightened thanks to the demonic blood coursing through her veins, before she found herself tumbling down a steep ravine, trying to stifle cries of pain as branches tore at her. When she landed, she heard curses coming from above, a small smile of victory placing itself on her lips before she took off again, trying to put as much distance as possible between herself and her persuer before she stopped to inspect her injuries. I will not let them catch me.

A/N: Well, that's chapter one. I'm sorry it's so short but I promise, the next chapter will be longer. It would mean a lot to me if you guys would review and let me know what you think as a lot of new characters are going to soon be introduced. This chapter was basically just an intro of what was to come and I hope you guys like it. Anyways, I have a lot of plans for this story however, this is my first FT fan fiction. I'm trying to follow Cannon as much as I can but I'm following the manga more than the Anime because the current Anime arc I'm not a big fan of. I'll also put my disclaimer now, I do not own Fairy tail, most of the characters in this fan fic however, are original characters. Thanks for Reading
