Bandits: " Come on let's just go." Some of the bandits had taken off with me tied up. While the others had stayed behind to keep Natsu at bay. I struggled but couldn't break free of his grip.
Bandits: " We need to get to the ship." Only a few of these guys made it off with me and on to there ship out on the beach. Ugh, I need to get out of this.
Bandits: " Caption we got one." Caption: " Well let's go then."
They set sail leaving behind half of there crew being taken down by some black giant.
Dang, it. Natsu is still there. My brother. I need to get off this thing now.
I launched a blast of fire burning the gag wrapped around my mouth. Also setting part of the ship on fire.
Caption: " Quickly put out that fire and grabbed that kid."
A bandit tried to grab me again and I rolled out of the way. Scythe Dragneel: " Fire Dragon Roar." I launched another blast of fire burning the sails. Caption: " It's no good. Abandon ship."
I kept launching blasts of fire from my mouth burning down the ship. With me still on it while everyone else escaped.

I came back over by the beach with my new friends Gray and Erza. I took a sniff of the air. Natsu Dragneel: " Yeah he was definitely here."
Gray Fullbuster: " Still think it's weird how you can track a person's scent like that." Natsu Dragneel: " I think it's weird that you've been walking around in just your boxers."
Gray freaked out and ran back in the forest looking for his clothes. I couldn't help but chuckle at him. Then Erza smacked me in the head.
Erza Scarlet: " Don't make fun of him for something he can't control." I gave her a confused look. Natsu Dragneel: " How can he not control taking his clothes off?"
Erza had sighed. Erza Scarlet: " Just trust me. He can't. I tried to get him to stop whenever we first meet."
Gray came running back with his pants and shoes on. Carrying his shirt. Gray Fullbuster: " Alright I'm back. We find anything yet?" I took another whiff of the air. Wait that smell is formal.
Natsu Dragneel: " Those bandits are still here." I ran off after them leaving behind Erza and Gray. Gray Fullbuster: " Wait up flame brain."
I charged right at the bandits that were busy pulling some of there people out from the shores. Bandits: " Crap it's that kid again." Caption: " We don't have time for this just kill him."
One of the bandits had thrown a knife at me and I barely dodged in time. Natsu Dragneel: " Fire Dragon Iron Fist." I covered my right hand in flames and slammed my fist into the bandit that threw the knife. He went swirling out of control and crashed into a tree.
Three more bandits had pulled out their rifles. Oh crap. I closed my eyes as they pulled the trigger but the bullets never hit me. I opened them and saw Gray standing in front of me. He used his magic to create an ice shield.
Gray Fullbuster: " Jezz. You trying to get yourself killed?" I gave him an irritated look. Natsu Dragneel: " Oh like I actually needed your help Stripper." He gave me an irritated look in return. Gray Fullbuster: " Yeah right flame brain if it wasn't for me you be full of holes right now.
Erza Scarlet: " SHUT UP." We both froze to see Erza taking down the bandits with nothing more than a sword and shield. Erza Scarlet: " Well don't you two just stand there. We quickly ran over to back her up. Not wanting to anger her any further.
Natsu Dragneel: " Fire Dragon Roar." I launched a blast of fire from my mouth. Knocking down five of the bandits. Leaving them unconscious.
Gray Fullbuster: " Ice Make: Hammer." I watched Gray create a hammer made out of ice and knocked down more of the bandits.
The last group charged at us and I jumped in front of Gray. Natsu Dragneel: " I got this." Gray shoved me out of the way. Gray Fullbuster: " No I got this." I got up pushing Gray back down to the ground.
Natsu Dragneel: " What's with you hugging all the fun?" Gray got in my face. Gray Fullbuster: " What you mean your the one getting in the way." Erza Scarlet: " THAT'S ENOUGH."
We stopped bickering to see that Erza had already taken care of the last of the bandits. Man, she's crazy strong. Erza Scarlet: " Now get over here." We obeyed without uttering a word.
She picked up what looked like the caption and gave him an intimidating glare. Erza Scarlet: " You took a small boy with black hair and green eyes. Where is he?"
The Captian just grunted. Captain: " I ain't telling a kid like you anything." Erza her sword and pointed it at his throat. Erza Scarlet: " Talk or else."
The Captain got scared and put his hands up in surrender. Captain: " Alright alright look...the kid we took ended up burning down our ship. Along with him in it. He's probably dead. No way he would survive out in the ocean that long. Which is a shame? We could have got a good price selling him off."
I jumped on the Captain and kept punching him in the face. Natsu Dragneel: " You bastard." Gray grabbed me and slammed me against the tree. Gray Fullbuster: " Calm down Natsu."
I finally calmed down catching my breath. Dammit. I was too late. Erza walked over towards me. Erza Scarlet: " What do you want to do now?" I gave her a determined look. Natsu Dragneel: " I'm going to keep searching. I know I'll find him and Igneel. I just have to keep looking."

I was setting up the campfire for the night. I looked over at the small boy to see he was still asleep. Never would've thought that I would find another one of my kind. Floating down a river on a piece of wood in fact.
Sorano Aguria: " Why did you take that kind." I looked over at my partner. She had short silver hair. Barely reaching her chin. She had brown eyes and was dressed in a simple blue shirt with white feathers on the back. Along with black jeans and white boots.
Erik: " Don't know. Guess you could say I got a soft spot for us Dragon Slayers." I sat on a wooden long next to Sorano. Sorano Aguria: " Do you think he could be one of the kids from the tower?" Erik: " Not likely. We would have seen him there."
Sorano Aguria: " So what are you going to do with him? We can't take him with us." I sighed at this. No. The Brain would never allow a small boy like him to join us. I'm better off leaving him with one of the guilds.
As I was still deep in my thoughts the boy had finally awoken. Scythe Dragneel: " Ugh my head." He looked over at the both of us. Scythe Dragneel: " Who are you."
I kneed in front of him and rubbed his wild black spiky hair. Erik: " You can just call me Cobra. That girl over there is Angel." Scythe Dragneel: " She does look like one."
I snickered as Sorano just lightly blushed at his comment. Erik: " So what's your name kid? Scythe Dragneel: " It's Scythe, Scythe Dragneel."Erik: " You remember anything kid?" He took a second to think back.
Scythe Dragneel: " I got separated by my brother because some bandits jumped us. They captured me and took me on their ship. They planned on selling me. Whatever that means. I managed to burn down the ship sinking it. I think I was floating in the ocean and then you grabbed me. Right?"
Nodded at him. Sorano Aguria: " Bastards. Trying to sell a kid like that." I looked back over to Sorano. She always gets angry about stuff like this. Probably because it reminds her how she got separated from her sister and was brought in a slave.
I stood up back on my feet. Erik: " Hey Angel." She looked up at me. Sorano Aguria: " Yeah, what is it?" Erik: " What's one of the closest guilds Brain's established here?" Sorano Aguria: " That would have to be Cerberus Fang right on the edge of Bosco. Why?"
I nodded my head at here. Then looked over at the boy. Erik: " Rest up. Will move at dawn." The boy nodded his head and went back to sleep. I walked back over to the fire sitting next to Sorano.
Sorano Aguria: " This is going to delay us on our mission." I chuckled a little. Erik: " It will only delay us by a day or two. The way I see it that book on Deliora can wait."
She just sighed in response. Sorano Aguria: " Guess it can't be helped. It will take us a while to actually find it anyway. Including lullaby." Erik: " Exactly. Might as well take our time doing it."
She got up and walked over to her tent. Sorano Aguria: " Well I'm going to sleep." I watched her walk into her tent as I laid out on the ground looking out at the black sky.
A small purple snake had slithered over to me. Erik: " Hey Cubellios. Where you run off to?' Cubellios wrapped around my arm as I fell asleep.

I followed Cobra and Angel and walked over to the guild. The place just gave me a bad vibe. Rough looking people all around. Carrying various amount of weapons.
Cobra walked over to the people hanging out at the bar. Erik: " Any of you guys seen Ishuma or Alessandro around? Guild Member: " Yeah they should be up in the office on the second floor." ''
We walked up the stairs and entered the office. I saw an old man with gray hair and dark brown eyes. He was tall and dressed in a red robe. With a black Cerberus on the back.
The other man was tall and slim. He had long black hair and black eyes. He was dressed in an all black suit with a purple tie. This guy must really like the color black. And what's with the pigeon on his shoulder.
The man with dressing in the red spoke first. Ishuma Orlando: " Aww Cobra and Angel. To what do I owe the pleasure." I got a bit nervous and hid behind Angel. She held tight to my hand saying everything is alright.
Erik: " This we found. His name is Scythe. We were hoping you could look after him. Angel and I are on a mission from Brain himself." He rested his chin on top of his hand at this. Ishuma Orlando: " Yes I see. That can most certainly be arranged."
Sorano Aguria: " Also have you heard any rumors about Zeref's books." He looked away at the thought at this. Ishuma Orlando: " You might want to search the ancient ruins. It's on the south edge of Fiore, Near the graveyard of the sea."
Cobra nodded his head and was walking out the door. I followed them out as they were leaving.
Scythe Dragneel: " Why can't I go with you?" Cobra snickered as Angel hugged me goodbye. Sorano Aguria: " Your better off staying here. You can't follow us where we're going."
I gave them a sad look. Scythe Dragneel: " Still." Cobra just rubbed my head. Erik: " Don't worry. Will come back and visit."
They left out the door. The man in the black suit walked over to me. Alessandro Barbasso: " Tell me, child, what is your name?" Scythe Dragneel: " It's Scythe." He nodded his head. Alessandro Barbasso: " Well Scythe. The Master had asked me to train you in the way of the sword. Are you alright with that." I just nodded my head.
Alessandro Barbasso: " Good. Follow me. I followed the tall man over to the bar. He grabbed a stamp and stamped my hand with a black Cerberus mark. Alessandro Barbasso: " There you are now a member of Cerberus Fang."
Scythe Dragneel: " Hey Mister...what was your name." Alessandro Barbasso: " Aww my apologies. You can call me Alessandro Barbasso."
Scythe Dragneel: " Okay Alessandro. Could you help me find my little brother." He gave me a strange smile. Alessandro Barbasso: " Sure I can. We can start looking tomorrow."
I smiled at this. Scythe Dragneel: " Okay."

I awoke back at the beach. Strange. How did I get back her
I walked around for a bit and saw someone running in my direction. Hold on, is that? Scythe Dragneel: " Natsu."
Natsu Dragneel: " Hey Scythe." Natsu was running to me as fast as he could. I ran up after him.
Then out of nowhere a giant leopard had pounced on Natsu. Biting his neck. No.
Scythe Dragneel: " Natsu!" I jumped on the leopard but it knocked me down to the ground. It tossed Natsu out in the water like a rag doll.
I ran over to him. He was covered in blood. He breathing slowing down. Scythe Dragneel: " Natsu no. You can't leave me like Igneel."
Natsu just smiled at me. Natsu Dragneel: " Sorry Scythe. I hate to leave you like this." I held tight to his hand as he took his last breath. I fell down in tears at this. Why did my brother have to die?

I walked into Scythe's room we had set up for him. I watched as he was tossing and turning around in his bed. I looked down at the magic ring I was wearing. Good. It's taking effect on the kid and altering his memories.
I walked over to him and quickly woke him up out of his sleep. He jumped up in fright. I held him down in his bed as he composed himself.
Scythe: " Natsu...Natsu he…" I put a hand on his shoulder. Alessandro Barbasso: " I'm sorry Scythe. I'm afraid that was not a dream."
He looked ready to cry. Scythe Dragneel: " Wait you mean…" I nodded my head at him.
Alessandro Barbasso: " Yes. You went out looking for your brother by the beach. Ishuma sent me to go after you. I found you laying next to a boy that had bleed out. You were in shock so I brought you back to the guild to recover."
The boy began crying at this and so I left him to be alone. I couldn't help but smile as I left. If he is indeed a dragon slayer like Cobra. Then he will be very useful for me. I can take control of him while he's in this state of depression and mold him to be the ultimate weapon for my use.
