Chapter 2

Erza was going over possibility after possibility as to what the real reason Natsu wanted a fight. Sadly she couldn't come up with a single thing, and it was scaring the crap out of her. Here before her was the man she had always been able to read like an open book. She could always see when something was bugging him or made him truly happy. So it was terrifying her that she couldn't even guess as to what was running through Natsu's head right now, and with how destructive he could be that was a very dangerous thing.

However it wasn't just her, Gildarts, Mira, Makarov, and everyone close to Natsu were trying to figure out just what the pink haired pyro was thinking. It was Laxus, Gajeel, and Wendy though that didn't have to think about what was going through Natsu's head as they knew. Natsu was tired of living a lie. A lie that this guild was his family, that this was a place he could find his mate and have a family of his own, that this was his nest in the terms of a Dragons. Knowing this they also knew what this fight was about and how much danger Erza was in.

The fight had been going as it normally would with Erza dominating the fight with Natsu getting in multiple good hits but because of Erza's Flame imperious armor they did nothing. That's when it happened.

"Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon's Iron Fist" Natsu called out as he began to rapidly punch Erza and after every punch there was an explosion. Soon many cracks were seen in Erza's armour as she couldn't keep up with the speed Natsu was punching at. Then he jumped back a foot before moving his arms in circle as he yelled out the next spell that would hit her "Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade". Erza and the rest could only watch in horror as the torrent of flames hit her as the sound of her armor shattering and her scream as she was sent flying. When the movie ended she was face down on the ground and was struggling to push herself back up only to collapse back to the ground and blackout. Everyone was in shock as Natsu lifeless walked over to his bag and slung it over his shoulder as he burned away his guild mark.

"W….what are you doing Natsu" Lisanna asked in tears at the fact that Natsu was leaving.

"I'm sorry lisy but I shouldn't have ever come to Fairy Tail. I should have done this much sooner but I never liked change so I let myself live a lie, and I just can't do that anymore. As much fun as this has been I just can't do this anymore. I don't belong here and never have nor ever will so I'm afraid this is goodbye. As the next time you see me I won't be the Natsu you all have known" Natsu said as he walked away and ignored everyone else as the bombarded him with more and more questions. When they saw he wasn't listening Gray tried forcing answers only to receive a Fire Dragon iron fist to the gut that was so strong it knocked him out and sent him blasting through the guild doors and embedding into the back wall of the guild hall. Then Natsu walked out of sight.

With the guild

"What the hell was that about" asked and upset Gray as he watched Mira and Elfman miserably fail at comforting Lisanna as she was devastated especially after Natsu used her Nickname he had secretly given her as kids.

"Isn't that obvious, I mean the Salamander practically spelled it out for you and you still don't get it" Gajeel said

"Hey cut um some slack they ain't Dragon Slayers like us" Laxus yelled from the second floor.

"What Natsu-nii meant was he was tired of being an outsider in the guild. He wanted a place that accepted him for who he was but instead all he got was ridicule" Wendy spoke with a saddened tone.

"Well it isn't our fault he such an idiot and can't control his magic" Gray said with an attitude.

"No but it isn't his fault either. His magic is made to take down that most destructive Dragons known to exist next to the chaos Dragons. And they are only more destructive because they can switch between destructive and precise attacks, or both. So his magic is going to naturally be destructive just because he was a Dragon Slayer which other Dragon Slayers understand but because he is a Fire Dragon Slayer he can't be precise like we can or others can so we can't understand that part were it seems like he is just a powerhouse screw up. So when everyone would ridicule him it just made him feel like an outsider. Which will eventually drive away any Dragon with everything else he put up with I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner" Laxus spoke with a slightly ticked of tone.

"So you're saying we drove him a way" Lucy said in shock.

"That's one way to put it blondie" Gajeel said

"So what do we do to get him back" Makarov said with determination as he was up set that he had let his family drive away one of his children without seeing it and was definitely going to fix this.

"You can't. Maybe if Natsu still saw Fairy Tail as his nest and was just upset with everyone you could make up for your mistakes but he doesn't so…." Wendy cut herself off as she broke down too much a similar state as Lisanna.

"So he's moving on to find a new nest, as he has felt unwanted here for too long and the damage is done" Gajeel spoke once again as all the members were kicking themselves in the their asses as they now knew the fuck up big time.

With Natsu

It had been around a month ago that Natsu had left Fairy Tail, and he had done nothing but travel through the wilderness of the kingdom. Over that month he had regained a small flame of the raging fire that was once their. It wasn't much, but he was starting to move on from Fairy Tail. That's when he heard it. Fairy Tail was on a guild wide camping trip, and the Dragon Slayers had thought a whiff of his sent and they all plus Mira, Lisanna, Happy, Carla, Cana, Gildarts, Makarov, Levy, Erza, and the Thunder Legion had all gone off looking for him. So he was currently eavesdropping on the rest of the guilds conversation.

"Hey you guys, do you think they will actually find Natsu" asked Max

"I don't know, but I hope they don't. Most of our missions got screwed up because of the matchstick so I'm glad he's gone" Gray said

"Ya no kidding in the last two missions alone i actually got enough money to not only pay my rent but also buy a few nice things so I second that" came Lucy's voice

"A real man doesn't screw everything up. At least now Lisanna can find a real man" came Elfman's voice.

"He was always so full of himself. That's the last kind of person I want as a role model for Romeo" was Makow's voice

"Ya I can't count how many less headaches I get now without him there" was Wakaba's reply

I'm surprised the master never kicked him out. After all he only destroyed stuff" was droy's and jet's comment.

At this point the fire in Natsu's eyes had returned full force and he was pissed, sad, and hurt all at once. Fairy Tail, the place that had been his home and family even if it didn't feel like it at the time had just stabbed him in a way no enemy ever could. So with that he took off, determined to find a new family, even more determined than before. As he ran he was careful to cover up his scent and avoid the others that were looking for him as what he had just heard destroyed any chance of him ever returning to Fairy Tail.

So for the next week he carefully navigated his way to a regen known for being over ran by S class monsters. It was the one place he knew would prevent those following him, as he knew he sucked as sneaking, from continuing to do so. If he could pass through this mountain range that was.

So with that thought in mind he began his do or die plan.

It was when he was about half way through the rage that he came across a group of mage's battling a nest of Wyvern. As Natsu watched from a cliff as he saw the group of about Five people had all but exhausted themselves. He saw some Wyvern with ice shot through them, some that were in the same state but with rock or was crushed by rock, then there were some that were looked like they had been electrocuted. Then there was those that looks to be in a similar state as the once with rock but instead it was crystal. Next was the ones that had been strangled by plants. However they all were only about 5 or 10 each. So when he saw about 50 that were nothing more than smoldering ash heaps that really go his attention.

"Come on we can't let these ass holes beat us" yelled the one of the group that had ice around his hands yet it looked like the ice was moving around his hands rather than simply encasing them.

"We have to retreat and regroup if we don't we're as good as dead" said another with what looked like a bunch of plants forming gloves over his hands

"Your joking right these weaklings are nothing" yelled a girl with lightning arcing off her and encasing her hands

"That might be true if we hadn't taken out ten other nest" said a girl with what looked like lava encasing her hands.

"I have to agree we need to pull back" said a woman whose hand looks to be made of crystal.

"Then it's agreed we…" was all a man with stone encasing his hands said before Natsu decided to give a helping hand.

Natsu jumped up and over the group as he slammed his fist down into the skull of one of the Wyvern that was currently trying to kill the girl with lava encased hands. He then was covered in flames that had lightning swimming through them like fish in water. After sucking in a Massive amount of air Natsu called out the name of his spell " Lightning Fire Dragon's Roar" Natsu bellowed as a massive amount of fire and lightning erupted from his mouth and took out nearly all of the Wyvern in one shot. Just before he started to collapse he did his second move " second origins release. With a flame on the right hand… and a flame on the left hand… When you combine the flames together...Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame" Natsu called out as he jumped into the air and threw a massive fire ball down at the remaining Wyvern that exploded on impact.

Once Natsu landed he dropped to his hands and knees gasping for breath as doing both those moves had taken a lot out of him. After he regained his breath he turns and held out his hand to the girl that once had lava encasing her hands but was now on her butt and had her arms stretched out behind her to prop herself up.

"Sorry about that, I sometimes get a little carried away" Natsu said as he gave her his famous goofy grin and scratched the back of his head with his other hand as he kept his left one out stretched in an offer to help her up as she had been knocked down by the shock wave from his last attack.

Seeing this she delicately placed her left hand in his as she a blush of epic proportions covered her face. As her mind was going on over drive picturing Natsu and herself in the position of a prince and a princess from all the Fairy Tales she read this only increased her blush though much to the amusement of her friends as he helped her up.
