Hello once again readers! Faithful and new comers! I am here to present chapter two of Curse of the Dragon Slayer!

News for all of you, after the two chapters of Curse I plan to write, including this one. I will write two chapters for Dragon and a Lion, then two chapters for Natsu the Demon Slayer. And after that. I plan to write nothing but Only Time Can Heal A Dragon's Heart until I can wrap up the story. Which will most likely be a minimum of 3 chapters. After that, depending on how this has gone, I might continue this format.

Anyway, I don't own Fairy Tail, but I do own my OC's and my plot.


Chapter 2: Fairy Tail

Six months.

Six bloody, unforgiving months since he left.

The guild was never the same after he left. They felt wrong. Seeing what he was forced to watch, what he was forced to experience, under the impression that every bit of it was real had scarred them. How could they look at each other the same way ever again, especially without Natsu.

Natsu.

The pillar in the guild for everyone.

The pillar the everyone needed for support.

The pillar that came crashing down. And with it, came the entire guild.

For the first few months after he left. All was quiet. He just dissapeared. No witnesses. No sightings. He just vanished.

That is, until 2 months again. News spread like wild fire that a small dark guild was massacred. There were no survivors. And no witnesses. The only reason this massacre was discovered, was because of the fire. The entire guild, and even a small portion of the forest around it was burnt to a crisp.

Smoke filled the air. Mixed with the smell of burning corpses. The sickening smell that made even the most stoic wretch.

Some unlucky traveler happened to see the smoke and rush to the scene. Only to find destruction and decimation.

The same traveler came stumbling back to town, mumbling about a massacre. When the inhabitants of the town finally deciphered his mumbling. They left to see the sight for themselves.

After that. It wasnt long until the news spread. Something had destroyed a dark guild. Their crimes being exposed by the remnants of drug labs and illegal weapons trading.

The event was being compared to a similar event from only four months prior. A dark guild was found destroyed with all of its inhabitants incinerated, and those that escaped the fire. Were gruesomly torn apart.

Evidence of illegal drug research was discovered amongst the ruins. Luckily somewhat still readable. Along with a log of subject. Apparently this guild had been kidnapping people of significant power and subjecting them to psychological torture. Any other recorde were destroyed in the fire.

When news of the recent massacre arrived in magnolia, all eyes shifted to the master.

"Do you think?" asked Macao, directed at the master as the news arrived by one of Fairy Tails guildmates. Relaying the message that they heard while in town.

"I hope not. But the chance is still there"

The atmosphere in the guild hall was rough and dim.

Several of the guilds more prominent members were gone. Out searching for Natsu. Team Natsu, minus the Dragon Slayer had been out searching for months at a time after he left, and were now resting at the guild. The Strauss siblings left soon after Team Natsu. Mira and Elfman being the bracing for Lisanna. Who they knew loved the Dragon Slayer. She had loved him ever since they were kids. Ever since they had raised Happy together.

Happy. When the cat wasn't with team Natsu searching, he was either at his and Natsu's house, or his and Natsu's favorite fishing spot. he rarely spoke to anyone. After what happened, Happy seemed just as broken as Natsu.

Even more suprisingly, Gildarts had returned. Breaking down the door accidentally with his usual idiotic grin. But when no attack from an energetic Dragon Slayer came. He noticed the atmosphere. The usually bright guild hall was dark. THe usually loud and rambunctious people sad and grim. Some looked at him with sorrow and regret.

That's when he knew something was up.

"Where's Natsu?" he asked, not wanting to believe that the atmosphere in the guild meant anything.

He had already come back once before to discover that one of his favorite guild mates was dead. And the person that broke the news to him. Was the person who loved him the most. The person that thought of him as a father. And Gildarts thought of him as a son.

"Gildarts" called the voice of the master.

As Gildarts turned his attention to the Master of the Fairy Tail Guild, Makarov could see the yearning in his eyes. The internal pleading that everything was alright.

"Theres something you need to see. Come to my office." Makarov stated before hopping off the bar and walking towards his office, trusting that Gildarts was following.

When Gildarts stepped into Master Makarovs office. He was met with the grim face of his Master behind his desk. With a single, solitary lacrima placed on said desk.

"Before you watch whats on that Lacrima, I need you to prepare yourself for what you'll see"

"What's going on Master, just tell me where Natsu is!" Gildarts stated, his question turning into a desperate demand, the impending feeling of disaster hanging heavily in the air.

"Just watch"


Ten minutes later

"Do you think he's gonna be ok?" asked Gray

"You know Gildarts, even when he's not in a bad mood he destroys stuff" replied Erza

Suddenly a massive explosion shook the guild. But nobody was surprised by this. After all, with the connection Gildarts had to Natsu, it was innevitable.

Another smaller explosion was heard before Gildarts came rushing out of the room, headed straight for the no longer existent guild doors.

"Gildarts! Where are you going!?" The Master called, but the answer was obvious. Gildarts slowed to a stop. Stopping right in front of the door.

"I'M GONNA FIND HIM! AND THEN IM GONNA HELP HIM!" Gildarts stated. Nobody could see it, and even if anyone could. Nobody would have the balls to mention it. But tears flowed out of Gildarts eyes. Desperation and sorrow leaked from his soul. But within the sorrow. Buried in the Desparity. Was determination.

'I'm sorry Natsu. But I'll find you if it's the last hing I do!" Gildarts stated mentally, before breaking back into a run.

Suddenly. The remaining members of Fairy Tail were filled with hope and determination. Even those who weren't the closest to the Dragon Slayer were filled with the drive to find him and repair the broken Dragon.

"Guys" started Erza

"We're gonna find Natsu" added Gray

"And we aren't gonna come back until we do!" added Lucy

"Natsu would do the same for us! He'd never stop until we were back in the saftey of our Nakama!" added Wendy.

"We leave tomorrow!" declared Erza

The rest of team Natsu roared in agreement.

It was natural for Natsu to be the cause of excitement in the guild. Even when he wasn't here.


"Mira, could you tell me what we are doing? Why are we going to the scene of the massacre" asked Elfman. Not understanding why they were so far from where they should be looking.

Currently they were trudging though the forest on their way to the destroyed the dark guild. Only a few miles out from the train station. Since the town was small, there was no railway connection. And it was very far out of the way.

"We all know it was most likely Natsu who did it" Mira said, not noticing the flinch in her youngest sisters step

"Well yeah, but why are we going there?"

"Something just tells me that he hasn't gone too far from his last hunt"

"Hunt?" Elfman asked, intrigued by his Elder sisters choice of words.

"Don't tell me you haven't felt it?"

"Felt what?"

"The whole vibe of what happened. Natsu was attacked and... and all that" Mira said, unable to say what she meant.

Elfman grabbed her shoulder and stopped her.

"You dont need to say it" Elfman said, trying to ease his sister of the burden of saying it.

"No no, anyway. The whole thing just gives off a vibe that Natsu is hunting"

"Are you trying to say that Natsu's hunting down dark guilds like an animal" Elfman said doubtfully

"I know it sounds impossible, but you saw his eyes. They were so full of anger, like a wild beast looking for blood"

Silence filled the air around the trio of sibling, the youngest was the one to break it.

"Do you think Natsu's batteling his inner dragon?" Lisanna asked, more so thinking out loud than actually asking.

"His inner dragon?" Mira asked

"Ever since we were young. I've always felt like Natsu resembled a dragon. Sometimes more than others. Sometimes not at all. When we were little, we were attacked by a forest vulcan who wanted to steal Happy's egg, and Natsu tried to fight it. He failed miserably" Lisanna said, ending with her infectous smile.

"And?" Mira said, urging her to continue.

"While he was fighting, he kept saying that he was going to protect me and the egg. And I felt this vibe come off him. Like a Dragon protecting what he holds dear"

"So your saying is-"

"That it wasn't just Natsu that was affected by what happened. His inner dragon was affected as well"

"So Natsu is at war with his inner dragon?" asked Elfman

"That's my best guess at whats happening.

"So it's up to us to help Natsu win his fight, and return to his family. To return to us!" Lisanna declared proudly.


Far away from Fairy Tail. In a cave within the mountain range in which Mt. Hakobe resided we find a figure.

This figure sat upon a rock. Starting at his palms. Igniting and extinguishing flames in his palms.

Crimson scales had encroached his entire fore arm and hands. His palms were a beige color of tough skin. The scales were as hard as steel. His finger nails had turned black and extended into claws. The scales appeared as if they were spreading up his arms, going just past his elbow.

The patches of scales on his legs grew larger, and were close to the same state as his arms.

The rest of his body was covered with large patches of the same crimson scales.

His hair had grown wild and long.

His canines were beyond human now. Extended beyond the length of his other teeth.

His eyes were glowing golden, with specks of crimson among the flakes of gold that made up his iris's.

His eyes stared at his hands and the fire he created.

He desired to hunt.

He wanted to hunt down every dark guild that dared to exist.

He hated them. He hated how they smelled. He hated how they screamed.

He hated how they always acted so cocky and arrogant, yet when he came knocking at the door. They crippled with terror. There was hardly ever a fight, with the exception of a shinier turd amongst the pieces of shit. But the fights never satisfied him. They were always over quickly.

But what did satisfy him. Was tearing them apart.

He loved the fear they they emitted.

He loved how they acted like they would turn their lives around if he let them live.

He loved how they thought that there was any possibility that he'd let them live. No.

They deserved to die.

They deserve to have everything they loved ripped from their very lives and souls.

They would suffer as he did.

They will bleed as he did.

They will die as he did.

And now that there was no force within him stopping him from doing anything. Now that the shreds of humanity that remained had deminished and slipped into darkness, powerless. Nothing was stopping the rampaging beast from continuing his hunt.

And that's exactly what he was going to do.

As an unmatched, angry Dragon does.

Slaughter.


Back at the Fairy Tail Guild Hall.

A loud crash was heard from outside the guild hall, causing everyone to rush outside to find the source of the mild earthquake.

What they saw, they couldn't believe.

There standing in front of them.

Was a giant, red, honest to god Dragon.

Three horns protruding from his head, scars littering his body.

His face grim and solem.

"People of Fairy Tail!" the Dragon boomed.

Nobody was able to form a response.

"I am here because of my son!"

Suddenly people froze.

Could it be?

"My name is Igneel Dragon, King of the Fire Dragons, and Father of Natsu Dragneel!"


Hows that! bet you weren't fucking expecting that now were you!" And for those of you questionative and particularly clever readers.
This is following chapter 400+.
Anyway.
Thats all for now.
Farewell!
