Chapter 2: East vs West
Natsu held back a gulp as he took in Rogue's last words. Gray was the one who did this. He killed Wendy, Macao, and Romeo. After a minute, he punched his fists together. "Sting. Rogue. Let's go kick that bastard's ass." Before the salmon haired teen could take a step, Sting stopped him. "Natsu-San! You can't stop him right now!" Natsu looked at him with determined slits for eyes. "Why can't I stop him?" Rogue sighed. "Because Gray is impossible for us to reach right now. He's all safe and secure in his castle at Winter." The Fire Dragon Slayer looked confused. "Winter? What's that? And what the hell is this West Fairies bullshit?"
Rogue sighed and began his explanation. "West Fairies, as they're called, are the half of Fairy Tail Gray leads. We're the East Fairies, the group Makarov leads." Natsu nodded. "So even Gramps is involved.. what about Erza?" Before they could continue, Sting cut them off.
"Look, Natsu-San, we don't have time for this! They'll be here any minute!"
"Who?" Natsu began, but he quickly threw his hood on ducked from the bolt of a magic gun shot his way. Sting and Rogue turned around to only gulp, knowing who was standing in their way. "Hey, Alestin..." Sting said with a sheepish smile. "Do not play games with ME, Dragon Slayers." The man known as Alestin said grimly, causing the Twin Dragons to back up. "C'mon, Natsu! We have to go NOW!" Rogue demanded, while the Fire Dragon Slayer grinned.
"So, you're one of Gray's men? Pleasure to meet ya." He said and ripped off his jacket, grinning like a maniac at the small group of men gasping at who it was. "M-my Lord! It's Dragneel!" One exclaimed, while Alestin silenced him quickly. "So, you're the Infamous Natsu Lord Gray talks about?" He asked. Natsu smirked. "Yep. And you are some suck-up to him? Get a life, loser." He taunted.
Alestin ripped off his robes and growled at Natsu, the horns among his head turning red from anger. "Do not try me, boy. I'd like to see you take me on." Natsu gladly accepted the offer and cracked his knuckles. "Alright, come at me!" He roared. Alestin quickly dispersed into a cloud of grey-ish matter, then proceeding to rush into the Dragon Slayer. Natsu, however, had a different idea.
With a bright flash, Natsu disappeared, causing the smoke like matter to turn back into Alestin, who was fed up with that. "Hm? Did Dragneel flee?" He asked, before letting out a huge bellow of laughter. Sting and Rogue gritted their teeth. "No... Natsu-San couldn't have run away!" The White Dragon Slayer roared, before charging at Alestin. "Hakuryū no Tsume!" Sting's right hand began to glow white, as he attempted to get near Alestin. "This is for saying Natsu-San is weak-"
Before he could finish however, Alestin had already punched Sting thirty feet away. "Sting!" Rogue shouted, before being punched away as well, leaving Alestin cackling with laughter. "Seems the amazing Twin Dragons couldn't even land a SINGLE blow on me! What a joke!" However, he was cut off to a burning sensation behind him.
"Oi. Don't mock my nakama like that." Natsu said intimidatingly, sending a chill down Alestin's spine. Natsu was currently wearing a blackish-red jacket, his hands in his pockets comfortingly. 'What..? I thought he ran away...' Alestin thought, and with that, Natsu smirked. "I don't run away, dumbass." He got into a true fighting stance. "Now you're gonna pay." Natsu quickly sucked in air.
"Shiranuigata Guren Hōōken!" Natsu roared, right before he rushed into Alestin's chest, sending him flying. With that, Alestin's soldiers, staggered off into different directions. "Yeah, you BETTER run." He said, sighing.
Sting and Rogue quickly recovered after that, one's eyes sparkling of amazement, the other one stunned. "Natsu-San! How did you beat Alestin of all people?!" Sting said shocked. Rogue nodded in agreement, while Natsu grinned. "I dunno, I just decided to punch him real hard I guess."
The Shadow Dragon Slayer smiled, before looking serious. "Natsu, we need to go to the East Fairies' base, now that you're here. I'm sure we can get to Gray." He said determined. Natsu grinned and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Welp, looks like I'm gonna kick the Ice Bastard's Ass." With that, the Trio walked off towards the East Fairies' capital, while the ruins of Magnolia's original guild smoldered on.
~Winter, Hours after Natsu's departure towards Summer~
Gray sat alone on his throne, smirking at the map of Fiore, at least two-thirds of it in blue, the rest in red and green. Suddenly, the doors to his room opened, as Gray looked at the man with a scowl. "Ugh, what do you want Alestin?" He moaned. Alestin slumped towards Gray, covered in bruises and scrapes, causing the Ice Devil Slayer to raise an eyebrow. "The hell? You never get beaten by Sting and Rogue..." He trailed off.
Alestin groaned. "Your Highness, Natsu Dragneel is back." He said simply. That enough sent Gray into shock, anger, more shock, and even more anger. Within seconds, the room was covered in ice, things broken apart, and Gray panting from all the damage. "Alestin." The ruler of the West said. "Y-yes, Master?" He responded.
Gray then turned to him. "Get Scarlet. We're going on the offensive at Magnolia."
