Chapter 1: Awakening 7 years earlier

Natsu was sleeping soundly in his bed though the slight pain and incessant shouting is currently disturbing his sleep, but being the heavy sleeper that he is, he ignored it.

"Natsu, Natsu. Wake up or you're going to miss your chance to become an S-class mage." Happy exclaimed. His little paws are starting to get numb from slapping the Dragonslayer to consciousness until a thought struck him. "Natsu, if you don't get up " He began in a singsong voice. "Gray will start laughing at you because you missed your chance at becoming an S-class mage because you overslept. I can hear him now, laughing at you while saying. 'What an Idiot! Missing his chance because he's too lazy, HAHAHAHA.' "

At that comment Natsu shot up from the bed ready to Punch Gray in the face. "Who are you calling an idiot you Pervert Stripper?" he shouts looking for his opponent but then he saw no one except Happy floating around him while smiling.

"Good morning Natsu! You finally woke up." Happy sighed. "I was trying to wake you up for some time now and if we're late you're going to miss your chance to participate in S-class trials. So hurry and get ready, Natsu." he reminded the Dragonslayer.

Natsu looked around his house a little dumbstruck, because the last thing he remembered was that he in was some weird place with the first Fairy Tail Master seven years in the future. Natsu for the first time in a long time started to think really hard with his expression becoming serious. "Was that all a dream, the S-class trials, the fight against Grimoire heart, the meeting with Zeref, and fighting Acnologia?" Natsu wondered and then trembled in fear when he thought about it. They couldn't do anything against them even with the three Dragonslayers there. They couldn't even scratch Acnologia and Zeref could easily kill them all in one attack.

Happy looked at Natsu for a moment. Natsu woke up looking dumbstruck which is the norm for him, then the little flying feline saw his expression change again and he was awestruck because the normally happy and hyperactive Dragonslayer became serious, but that was not the end of the surprise as he saw Natsu tremble fear. At that point Happy started freaking out for his friend and the only thing in his head in this moment was. 'What's happening here and why is Natsu trembling in fear?' But then as fast as the trembling started it stopped and Happy could only ask. "Natsu are you alright, you were trembling a moment ago?" Happy asked worried his friend.

Natsu snapped out of his daze and looked at Happy. "Yeah I am alright, I just had some strange dream and for the trembling it was because I was thinking what was Erza is going to do at us if we are late." Natsu said half telling the truth.

"Ehhh? Erza is going to kill us if we are late!" Happy freaked out. "I'm going ahead, so you better hurry if you don't want to become dragon souffle!" Happy reminded him as he scrambled to get ready, but as he flew around he saw Natsu holding something in his hand not even realizing he had.

"Um... Natsu what are you holding in your hand?" Happy asked curiously wanting to know what the thing Natsu is holding.

"What are you talking about I don't have anything in my WHAT!" When Natsu saw the object and immediately knew what it was. It's a blue crystal with a frozen flame in it and it's the Clone Lacrima that Mavis had given him and realized that everything he thought was a dream was actually real.

"Ne, ne, what is that thing Natsu?" Happy asked interested in the object.

Natsu knew he couldn't tell Happy about him returning from the future and thought of a way to make him stop asking questions. "It's nothing important and if we don't get going Erza is going to beat us really bad." He trembled in fear for added measure.

At that Happy flew with the speed of light out of their house. Natsu knew what he has to do and the risks he has to take so he could become stronger to protect the people he loves. He started packing for his long Journey and minutes later he was ready. But he isn't in his normal attire as he is now wearing a black dress shirt, black jeans and a cloak with the exception of the scarf that Igneel gave him; he knew he will need to give it to the clone because the scarf will save him from the death magic Zeref uses. That was one of the hardest decisions he had to make, giving his most precious possession to his clone. He activated the Clone Lacrima, pouring a big portion of his magic energy into the crystal so the Clone could manifest and start producing magic energy on its own for the next few days.

Natsu felt most of his magic energy drained away from his body as the Lacrima started glowing and then there was an explosion. When the smoke dissipated he saw a naked copy of himself standing and doing nothing.

"What is my mission?" The clone asked with a blank expression.

Natsu repeated the question a little dumbstruck from the clone. "Mission? Oh! You mean what to do?" He asked as his copy nodded. "Just act like me." He said simply.

At his answer the clone's expression changed, gaining the same goofy grin as Natsu's and the unstoppable flame in his eyes."Hell yeah! I am going to give everything to become an S-class mage and beat everyone who gets in my way!" Natsu could only smile at his clone's declaration remembering he said the exact same words before boarding the ship.

"You better go before Erza blows up and come here to personally get you, so you better get going. I'll watch your departure from afar." Natsu said with a foxy grin that made the clone tremble in fear thinking of Erza coming here to beat him up and drag him to the ship. "Don't lose that scarf because it will save your life while you're in Tenrou Island!" he reminded the clone, frowning at the thought of losing it.

"Aye, sir!" The clone saluted making Natsu laugh at his response realizing how stupid he sounds saying that.

10 minutes later Natsu was looking at the ship from a safe distance behind some crates and barrels, just looking at the ship floating on the water made him sick. He changed his view from the ship to his clone that's getting sick with every step he took toward the ship. Natsu could only pray for his clone that he will make it alive to Tenrou Island because his clone is late and Natsu is 100% sure that his clone will feel the wrath of Erza and second it has the same motion sickness he has. After thinking for a while Natsu heard the voices that he will not hear for long time.

"There you are Flame breath." Gray said in a mocking tone that made even the real Natsu angry.

"Shut up popsicle and again your clothes." Natsu's clone snapped glaring at the Ice mage.

"What, when, how?" It was only thing Gray could say before he started looking for his clothes.

"NATSUUUUU!" The Clone started trembling even the real Natsu started trembling and he was far away from them, knowing that there is only one person that could create such reaction. The copy started to slowly turn its head creating creaking noises and saw the owner of the voice.

"Uh? H, Hi Erza H, H, How are we today?" The clone greeted Titania politely shrinking under her gaze. Natsu could only imagine the fear of standing near her now.

"You're late!" Erza bellowed with an evil aura emanating from her body. "But only for today I'll let you off the hook because of the S-class trials, but if this happens again you're going to be punished. Now get in the boat!" Erza said with a little less edge in her voice but enough to scare the other members.

"Aye, sir!" The clone saluted and he ran towards the boat falling sick at the moment he steps on it. And so the boat set off for Tenrou Island with Natsu looking at the boat from far away praying that the clone succeeds and they meet again with everyone in 7 years. After the boat was out of his sight Natsu remembered he had forgotten to do something, he had to remove the Fairy Tail stamp so that no one could connect him with Fairy Tail. It really hurt him to do the such a thing but he had to do it so he let the skin on his shoulder be burned by his fire and the magic stamp started to disappear, with that done Natsu stood up and walked out of the harbor and from there he left Magnolia starting his journey

(Few days later)

Natsu was walking through a town that was near the Oracion Sies incident with Nirvana. He was getting few stares from town's people that looked like they didn't take kindly to strangers, but he didn't care and just walked away from them without giving a damn about what they said. But then he heard a few guys talking about Fairy Tail and he immediately stopped to listen to their discussion about Fairy tail.

"Did you guys heard about the incident in Tenrou Island?" The young man said.

"Yeah we heard about incident." the other two answered.

"It's sad, they were such nice guys and they managed to stop Nirvana before it reached our town." The second guy added.

'So the news has already spread, I wish I knew if they were able to activate Fairy Sphere.' Natsu wondered sadly and he started walking again.

Natsu left the town and made a camp in the forest because the sun has begun to set. He was just sitting around the campfire when he heard a very familiar voice calling out to him, he looked in every direction but he couldn't see the owner of the voice.

"Show yourself Mavis! Where are you?" Natsu stood up and called out the name of the first Master of Fairy Tail.

"So you didn't forget about me young Dragonslayer. I'm talking to you telepathically and I just wanted to tell you that your friends were able to activate Fairy Sphere." Mavis answered the question plaguing his mind.

"Thank you for telling me this Mavis." Natsu's smile returned after the news. The smile he hadn't worn since he left Magnolia and with this news he will be able to finally start journey. He took his seat near the fire and began to eat and few minutes later after he finished eating he felt the tiredness and fell asleep.
