Cold Sun Dragon
Natsu and Lucy
Previously on Cold Sun Dragon,
"For the last time Happy, we are here because someone has been using the name of Salamander who is a member of our guild for the wrong reasons. I want to stop him." Natsu addressed the one named happy, a blue cat who was walking in his hind legs and was carrying a backpack.
"Oh yeah but where are we going to find this 'Salamander'?" Happy said and just noticed Natsu smirking as if to hear that and see some circumstances that make it all amusing to him.
"You need to stop speaking so soon Happy. Take a good look." Natsu pointed to a crowd in the distance where girls were screaming about a man they called 'Salamander'. Happy was just gawking at their luck while Natsu was laughing at the expression while walking towards the crowd until he noticed another girl approaching the man with hearts in her eyes. 'Chāmu Mahō!' Natsu thought and shook the woman out of the grasp.
"W-what?" She muttered and realized that she was under a trance. She then noticed the man who stopped her from entering the crowd of women. "Thanks. I thought that I was under something like a Chāmu." She thanked Natsu who chuckled,
"Yeah and it was strong enough to woe you if it wasn't for me. I am glad that you are smart enough, even more than them…" Natsu pointed his thumb to helpless crowd of fan girls, "To see through that ruse of illegal Magic."
The woman blushed, Natsu had gotten a little experience with girls and developed a sense of flirting that was successful and the women love it anyways. "Oh." She yelped, realizing she forgot something. "My name is Lucy. What is yours handsome?" She tried to seduce Natsu but he was not to be taken lightly but it wasn't in Natsu's character to disappoint anyone he trusted and tolerated which included this woman named Lucy.
"My name is Natsu Dragneel. You might know me as the real Salamander or what everyone now calls me the Cold Sun Mage of Fairy Tail." Natsu introduced himself and nearly gave Lucy a heart attack; she was helped and was in the company of one of the up-rising Elite Mages of Fairy Tail!
'I can't believe it.' Lucy thought in her head, 'I can't believe that I have ran into the Natsu Dragneel! I am one lucky girl!' Then she saw that Happy was eating his fish like a pig while frequency hit on the head by Natsu for being so rude.
"So what are your plans Lucy? I doubt that a mage like you will want to remain on your own." Natsu said and Lucy was shocked, she never told Natsu that she can use magic.
"H-how did you know? I never told you!" Lucy said and then saw something in Natsu's hand that stopped her cold. It was a silver key with the crest of the Canis Minor stamped on its bow. The bow is hexagonal in shape and carries the crest of the Canis Minor with the blade of the key ending in a simple design. Then she saw something else, another silver key that had a different crest, mostly used for Canis Major on its bow. It was also hexagonal in shape and the blade on the other end of this key was another variation of the simple blade from normal keys. "The keys for Canis Minor and Canis Major (1)! How did you…?"
"I see. You use Celestial Spirit Magic do you?" Natsu stated and Lucy lost her excitement and shock and just nodded, expecting something like Natsu to laugh at her but instead he placed the keys on the table and pushed them into her direction. "Keep them."
"Huh?" Lucy was confused as to that Natsu will just give the keys to her.
"You own plenty on your keychain so you must be able to use these two as well right? I don't have that magic and maybe never learn it. And you did want them from that magic shop you came stopping out of. That owner was stingy old coot alright." Natsu smirked and Lucy just looked down to avoid her blush; she had appreciated Natsu for helping her and backing her up from her underachievement. She just felt a little warm in the rest of her body that was a little faint so she ignored it.
"Thanks Natsu. I really appreciate it." Lucy said in a low tone and Natsu paid for the food. He said that he needed to take care of some unfinished business and then he can take Lucy to join Fairy Tail. Yet, while she was reading the popular magazine called the Sorcery Weekly, Lucy was approached by the same man from before who tried to woe the girls with his Chāmu Mahō. He said that he was also from Fairy Tail and offered to enter Lucy in if he will attend a party at his private yacht.
Lucy fell for it and when she was offered a drink, she slapped it away at the last minute. It turned out that wine contained a potion to control minds and Lucy smelled it in the wine but it was too late. Henchman of this 'Salamander' emerged and held Lucy down for the 'Salamander' to try and brand Lucy as one of his slaves. That is until the ship shook and acted like it rose into the air.
The shaking had dislodged Lucy from her captives and when the ship tipped over, she fell out of the chambers and onto the railing outside. She gasped to see that the harbor water had rose into a tall tower and froze into pure ice. "I hate to say this after all you been through Lucy but thanks." Lucy heard a familiar and warm voice; she turned to see Natsu standing on one of the trainings of the tipped over ship. "Thanks to you, I was able to fine the Salamander imposter and free the other women."
"Natsu!" Lucy was overjoyed to see a real mage and unconsciously hugged him in gratefulness before she release him in embarrassment. "But how did you find me?"
"I have a very good nose and I was able you follow your scent to this ship." Natsu answered, "Happy get her out of here! I am going to give justice to this imposter!" Natsu shouted off the ship and Lucy heard an 'Aye sir' in the wind before feeling like she was off the ground. Lucy started to scream but then saw that the cat from before was in the air, holding by the shoulders and grasping her on the stomach with his tail but also sprouting wings on his back.
"Happy!?" Lucy was shocked she never saw this coming about the rude but cute blue cat companion that allows followed Natsu around.
"Hello Lucy. And don't worry, Natsu forces me to carry boulders every single day so this is nothing outside my powers." Happy said as he hovered in the air until he noticed something. "Lucy, where are your keys?" Lucy, by reflex, reached for her keys until she realized that the imposter must have threw them into the sea!
"NOO! EEK!" Lucy was panicking but then Happy descended into the ice and stopped. "WHAT WAS…that for…?" Lucy yelled until she saw a shine among the ice, like something metallic reflecting off in the sun. It was her keys! Lucy then grabbed then when Happy hovered her into her reaching distance. "I thought they were lost forever!"
"Natsu thinks of everything with his powers." Happy said, "Now you have your keys, will you like some revenge?" Happy said in a dark tone that Lucy mirrored instead of being weirded out; she was the type of girl to not let things like this get away so easily. She took out one of the golden keys on her keychain that seemed to be an ordinary golden key with two parallel waves stamped on its bow. The bow is designed similar to that of an upside down urn with two handles on either side. The center of the bow is white, colored in blue, with a heart on its base. The blade of the key is designed similar to that of a mermaid tail, with "fins" sprouting out of either side of the base of the bow, and four more at the tip, curling towards the center.
"Open the Gate of the Water Bearer! Aquarius!" Lucy shouted with all her might and when she swiped the key across, out came a royal blue mermaid. She had a long, blue fish-tail, light blue hair that reaches up to her waist, curvy, and a large bust. She also had blue eyes that seems to have no pupils. She seemed to be wearing a dark blue bikini top and on each arm, she has a golden armlet and bracelet. There was also a headband, three piercings on her tail, and a golden belt at her waist as part of her attire. A dark blue tattoo resembling the Aquarius zodiac symbol rested right under her collarbone. She also has an urn in her hands. This design must reflect her respective zodiac sign of "Aquarius".
Still this mermaid was not impressed with how things looked now she was in the world of human mages. "It is bad enough to summon me into your bathtubs and now you summon me into a pier with ice!? I ought to kill you and spend more time with my boyfriend!" Aquarius didn't seem to be that of a friendly spirit.
"Never mind that, I need your strength to deal with that ship. On it are people who want women like you for their slaves all because they think you are weak and useless!" Lucy yelled her orders and smirked, thinking it will make Aquarius angry at them enough to obey her.
"Oh yeah!? Take this!" Aquarius shouted and she summoned water from her urn that destroyed the ice and the ship that was encased in it. But…the water also descend onto the harbor!
"Oh no! She is doing it again!" Lucy was sent into the air by Happy when the water attack was directed at them as well as the women slavers. But there was no disaster when the waves of water froze before they could even touch the harbor!
"What?"
"WHAT!?"
Both Lucy and Aquarius were shocked at the sight while Happy seemed to be used to it. Then the latter felt a hand on her shoulder and before long, she was seeing eyes of an angry dragon into her face.
"You may be her most trusted spirit but if you come closer to killing her than your words than I will have to take action. I heard that mermaid tuna is very delicious if boiled and barbecued even rare." Natsu appeared besides the Water Bearer with a dark voice that got the spirit to see that Natsu really meant it and just nodded before huffing away into smoke. "Sorry about threatening your own spirits. Sometimes I just can't help…" Natsu was interrupted when Lucy hugged him, "Myself?"
"I don't mind. You saved me. That is all that matter and now I want to join Fairy Tail more than ever!" Lucy shouted in excitement while still burying her head into Natsu's warm chest. Natsu just signed, he had no idea what this might turn into later in his life.
Later, the Magic Council guard and the army arrived to turn in the 'Salamander' imposter who happened to be Bora of Prominence, formally of the guild named Titan's Nose for using illegal magic that got him banished from the guild. It will seem that he spent his time doing a female slave trade with his Chāmu Mahō. He won't be doing any of those ever again.
"Thank Mr. Dragneel. We appreciate your efforts in stopping the salve ring that we had been trying to track down for months. We will make sure that these women will be taken care of and they will be able to return to their regular lives. I wish they will be better than this to trust strangers." The captain of the guard thanked Natsu with gratitude.
"No problem. You did your job and that is perfectly fine by me. And if you don't mind, I need to take this young lady to Fairy Tail." Natsu said and Lucy blushed under the attention that Natsu and the captain as giving her.
"You are very lucky girl young lady. It is not every day that Natsu Dragneel brings a mage to Fairy Tail. The least a beautiful woman such as yourself." The captain said and Lucy tried to hide from it all but nodded and gave a low 'thank you' that the captain picked up. "Now we will clean up this mess and have a good day."
Natsu nodded and guided Lucy from the harbor and back onto the train on route to Magnolia. She was going to have the best day of her life, when she was going to join the guild she always wanted to for years.

Later, in an open air room with a very fancy design, a sphere rolled across the table. It curiously shattered but then repaired itself in an instant. It then levitated into the air. "Ultear, stop that!"
"But I am bored." Said a pale-skinned woman with dark purple hair and brown eyes; she had a rather voluptuous figure, and she wears a long revealing dress, sporting a striped pattern. The entire outfit of hers is trimmed with gold patterns, and she even sports a matching white headband. On her arms, the woman wore long black sleeves, with the section from her elbow down bearing chunky, gray wrist-guards, from which she produced another one of those spheres. She was Ultear Milkovich, a member of the Magic Council that oversees every legal mage and their actions; but in times of peace, there is barley anything exciting left to enjoy for this young and well developed woman. "I wish that something will just blow up and the only ones that cause that to happen as those amateurs from Fairy Tail." Ultear moaned in a seducing tone that nearly got the old people that made up the Magic Council
"Cut all that out Ultear, we already had our fill of troubles and it all to blame on one guild. Fairy Tail! It is up to no good again!" One of the council members shouted his own complaint that only caused Ultear and another young man to laugh along. "And you stop that too, Siegrain!"
"Fine, fine you old geezer. Ultear is right though." The young man of blue hair and a tattoo on his left eye said in a rude and disrespecting tone. "Without those idiots from Fairy Tail, the world will be boring."
"All we can do is hope for Dragneel to continue and keep them in line. He is our trusted S-class mage and is a real mage material." Another one of them brought up and the others all agreed while not noticing that Ultear and Siegrain both agree to but in a more dark and crafty effect; who knows what those two young schemers have in store for Natsu?
Meanwhile, in Magnolia.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail." Natsu said presenting the guild hall for the awed woman with a suitcase in her hand.
"I can't believe that I am really here! I always dreamed of this day!" Lucy said in her excitement that made Natsu chuckle.
"Well that dream is fulfilled as soon as I open these doors. So get ready to duck while I'm at it." Natsu said with both of his hands on the double doors leading into the guild hall and Lucy wondered why he asked of her to do such a thing. She did find herself obeying Natsu once the salmon haired boy opened the doors and out came a chair and a desk flying into the streets.
"What was that!?" Lucy said in a frighten tone, maybe she wasn't welcome in the guild hall after all! But she felt Natsu take her hand helped Lucy back on her feet.
"This happens a lot, you will get used to it. Come on in, we can get you signed in." Natsu said and led Lucy through the chaos that ran through the guild hall. They were having a real fight and it was tearing up the guild hall. Then Natsu stopped and pushed Lucy into his chest, "Stop and don't look, you won't like it." Lucy didn't know it but someone had landed in front of them. And he is completely nude!
"Arrgh! Where is my underwear!?" He looked frantically until he saw someone that made him forget about his nudity all together. "You flamehead copycat! You must have finally came back for a fight like the coward you are!" He would have ranted a lot more but Natsu instead finked him hard with two of his fingers, sending the nude boy's head right into the ground; thankfully the rest of his body fell so that his backside is showing and his front is not.
"Not today Gray. You still haven't done what I have told you." Natsu said in a displeased and unimpressed tone. Lucy then asked silently if she should look now, "It's safe."
"Just who was that boy who yelled at you Natsu-kun?" Lucy asked before she noticed that she let that slip and covered her mouth; Natsu heard her but didn't want to pry any further.
"That will be Gray Fullbuster. He uses ice to create solid objects like how I can so he thinks that I am not nothing but a copycat of his magic. That is why he will forget anything else for the chance of beating me to the ground. Also he has the habit of stripping unconsciously and not knowing it until someone points it out." Natsu paused and Lucy who could only look in disgust that Gray was still on the ground wearing nothing; she was just glad that Natsu doesn't have that embarrassing habit. "For as long as I knew him, he had it for seven years and hadn't did a thing to rid himself of the habit. That is another thing he blames me for." Natsu explained in full detail and Lucy took it all in before she noticed Natsu had brought her to a tab and pulled up a chair for her to sit in. He said that after the fight is dispensed, then they can get Lucy in.
Lucy didn't have long to wait until a giant, almost as the tall as the entire guild appeared above all the guild mates involved in their fight. "That's enough! Knock it off you bunch of dolts!" Lucy cringed at the sheer volume of the giant's voice but she felt Natsu hugging her which got her relaxed. Then the giant got closer and closer while getting smaller and smaller for some reason until Lucy said a short man in an orange jester like outfit. "Hello Natsu, looks like you did it again. You have brought someone to the guild. You just never did a girl before and you have good taste." Lucy had nothing to base this on, just who is this old man?
"Hello to you too gramps. Lucy will like to join us, so make a better first impression." Natsu said in a stern tone before turning to Lucy, "Luce, meet Makarov Dreyar, our guild master." Lucy almost didn't listen because she was still getting used to her little nickname that Natsu had started to call her, saying it makes her cuter. Still she got her focus back and she was shocked all over again to see a short old man as the master.
Then Makarov turned away to the silent guild mates who stopped fighting to his loud voice from before. He then made a backflip up to the railing on the second floor…and hitting the railing as he did but he managed to climb on it. "You dolts did it again! I have gotten a pile of papers from the Magic Council and they are super pissed at all of you! Gray!" Makarov looked at the raven haired boy who grabbed a tablecloth once he awoke to use as a loincloth. "You preformed the mission but a resident complained of you stealing her clothes and a whole town companioning about you running around nude!"
"B-but I just couldn't kept running around naked." Gray said in a shamed tone that betrayed his guilt.
"Then don't run around without any clothes on." Another one of the guild mates scolded Gray and he looked like a body builder wrester.
"Elfman! You assaulted the very man you were supposed to be escorting!" The wrester, named Elfman, looked down at his master's voice.
"He said…that men are only about education…" Elfman tried to defend himself with a lame excuse.
"Cana! Stop charging the Magic Council by the barrel for your wine!" Makarov yelled at a very well developed woman who was the same age as Lucy but wearing very revealing clothes and was drinking her liqueur by the barrel full until she heard from the master.
'They found out!' She thought to herself.
"Loke, stop sleeping with the chairman's daughter!" Makarov pointed his focus to a man about Natsu's age who was wearing a sweater with sunglasses and was surrounded by girls who looked at him now with looks of anger instead of lust. He tried to explain to them but instead the ladies ignored and walked away from this man named Loke, leaving him to wallow in sorrow.
"I swear that if you keep this up, you will never be a trusted Mage like Natsu! At least he makes messes that all just frozen water waiting to melt in the sun!" Lucy then saw that not only Natsu was rising pass the ranks of S-class mage but also was in the favor of the guild master and the magic council. "But…" Makarov paused before engulfing the papers in flames and dropping them for Natsu to snack on. "The council can shove their shit up back it came from for all I care! Magic isn't a tool, a weapon or an accessory! It is the result of one's faith and conviction to loyalty and friendship! So remember that and you will surely become great mage! All of you will be because you are Fairy Tail!" Cheers roared into the air which showed why Makarov is the guild master.
Now the guild is back to be nosy but his time, eating food, drinking wine, chatting away and looking on boards with mission papers. It was now the idea of a mage guild and Lucy enjoyed it along with Natsu who bought her food from the counter. The bartender was a very beautiful and kind woman who charged barely anything since Lucy was new and that she was looking at Natsu with eyes similar to how the blonde woman with the keys did ever since Lucy first meant Natsu. "My, my! It is true, you were selected out of all the beautiful women that Natsu can ever meet to come to our guild and become a member! This is so exciting!" Her name happened to be Mirajane and she used to be the mage model for beauty and every other female mage wanted to be like her, an S-class mage.
"Thank you and now can anyone tell me where I sign in?" Lucy asked and noticed that Natsu had finished his meal of food-on-fire.
"There is no sign-in sheet, just ask the color of your Guild Mark and where on your body will you like it." Natsu explained to Lucy that the Guild Mark is a guild member's ultimate proof that they have joined a mage guild. It is made of pure magic and will not be removed with water or even soap. Lucy wanted it in pink and on the back of her right hand.
"Still congratulations on turning in that imposter Natsu. I always told you that if you do good deeds for once, good things are bound to happen to you." Mirajane, or simply Mira to her friends, stated to Natsu who stopped on his job searching and turned back at Mira with an unamused look on his face,
"Help me remember Mira, when was the last time I didn't do a good deed on a mission?" That sounded arrogant but no one pointed that out and couldn't come up with a better answer than 'Never'. Natsu went back to his search for his next mission until he heard a commotion where the master was sitting on a counter. He turned to see a young boy arguing with Makarov,
"Please! You have to find my daddy!" He was Romeo, the son of one of Fairy Tail's members. He was also bullied by other kids his age because they were told by their parents who have seen the Fairy Tail members out of action, not when they are in. That left all them with the impressions that Fairy Tail members are nothing but 'drunk cowards'. Romeo took it all out on his father and asked him to do something cool for a change while leaving his father confused. Than the latter disappeared on a mission which made Romeo feel guilty and worried.
"I keep telling you Romeo, you have got to trust your father more often." Makarov said strictly as the guild master but Romeo will never bow down that easily; he was just a big and bold boy for his age.
"But he said that he will be come back in three days and it has been a week since he left! Something has happened to him but nobody will let me go and see what! And now you won't even try to help him!" Romeo brought up, he really wants his dad back.
"Shut up!" Makarov was having a headache listening to Romeo beg of him so he snapped at the poor boy and said something that he will come to regret. "Your father is a Fairy Tail mage and he will complete the job so you better go and find a glass to drink some mil in. Quite being such a whiner!" Makarov shouted harshly at the poor boy who punched him in the face in anger.
"I thought you mages were cool but you are all jerks!" That cut through the jolly happy atmosphere and soon everyone felt like someone was shoving a sharp object through their hearts each. Natsu, who was about to go on a mission dealing with some bandits for a good sum of jewels, shoved the paper back into the board, ignoring another member who complained about that action. Natsu then walked up to Makarov with a look of disappointment on it,
"That wasn't cool at all gramps. It was stupid and not right, you better make up for it and prove to me once again that you haven't gone senile because if you won't leave your comfortable counter and your bottle of wine to help Romeo, then I will." Natsu said with pure bravery and boldness to say such things to the master and left before Makarov could retort. No one tried to protest or even stop Natsu.
"W-what was wrong with Natsu? I never saw him that mad before?" That explained everything for poor Lucy who was still left in the dark as everyone, even Gary was silent on this one until Mira finally spoke up.
"You see, Natsu had a bad childhood, he lost his father and had to hear that another of his teachers and his mother figure had died. And the worst part was that we all laughed at him for it and he all felt his anger at one point. We are afraid to make fun of him now and forever." Lucy was having a hard time imagining the guild laughing at Natsu for telling them of his misery. That is not what she had thought of them at all. "And from that moment, Natsu will gladly make sure that no one has to lose their family anymore. That is why he rebelled against the Master and I agree with him on it." Mira finished with her and pretty soon, everyone was glaring at Makarov for being so cruel and a heartbreaker to a little boy who is worried about his only family.
Lucy then felt like she shouldn't let Natsu do this allow and charged after him. She then saw that Romeo was crying near one of the trees planted in the town. And there with the poor boy was Natsu, who held Romeo to him and the boy cried into his chest to let out all those unwanted feelings. "Don't worry Romeo, I will get your dad back. You don't ever deserve to be alone." Natsu whispered gentle words to Romeo who just kept crying until Lucy heard something that touched her heart,
"Thank you. Thank you big brother Natsu."
