AN: Someone asked why I mad Elfman older than Mira, I did it because he looks well into his twenties during the main story but for some reason Mira was older, it just didn't make much sense to me that he was Natsu and Grays age. Anyway I got a lot of posotive feedback on the story already, so I hope that keeps up, I want to say that in this story I want to pair Natsu and Erza but I don't know how to write romance so any pointers would be a great help!
Chapter 2: First Encounter
Natsu was sitting on the second floor, slightly toward the back, reading a big tome that his second master gave him, explaining how to perfect some of the spells of his second dragon slayer magic because he had mastered his fire dragon slaying perfecly and could enter dragon force at will and his displacement magic was flawless and he had mastered all but the final spell of his quint-curse magic.
"Natsu? The hell you doing here man?" Laxus, a big brute of a man, asked. He has his headphones on and his cloak with fur lining on top of a tight purple t-shirt. He had short, choppy blonde hair and a lightning shaped scar on one side of his face, going over his storm grey eye. The lightning dragon slayer actually held some respect for the powerful pink haired man in front of him, but didn't realise that he was S-Class "What's that book?"
"Actually, Laxus, this book teaches me some more spells of my Apocolypse dragon slayer magic, it's one of the two magics I haven't yet mastered, though I'm close," the pink haired dual dragon slayer explained to the taller mage in front of him. Natsu was one of the few people that didn't mind Laxus in the guild.
"Wait I thought you used Fire dragon slayer?"
"I use both."
"Oh, you going on any missions then?"
"I might, anything catch your eye?"
"Yeah I had a mission all picked out but its miles away, you wanna go?" Laxus asked the younger mage
"Eh, what is it?" The pinkette replied in a bored tone
"Croc monster infestation, it's a pretty self explanatory mission, but decent reward, 2.5 million jewel,"
"Ok, What village is it in?" Natsu replied
"Ehh, Riuken Village. Never heard of it." came the awnser
"No need to worry I've been past there before, I can get us there instantly, Give Mira the request." Natsu said still bored, though kind of looking forward to seeing if this mission could be a challenge.
"OI, Mira! Me and Natsu are taking this request!" Laxus shouted at the bar maid
"Ok, I'll mark it down!" she replied in her chipper tone
===In The Village===
Natsu and Laxus seemed to simply appear out of no where in the village center before walking to the Mayor's office. It was a small village, most of the buildings surrounding the centeral road and all made of wood. It had a backdrop of beautiful mountains and forest behind it.
The two mages walked into the mayors office as he was finishing getting confermation that the mission had even been taken and so the mayor was both shocked and impressed that the mages had got here almost the second the request had been confirmed, naturally he was quite suspicious of the two mages but they did have guild marks and were clearly powerful.
"How did you get here so fast? I was only just told that the request had been taken!" The mayor asked. He was quite old, mabye mid 60s, he was still fairly tall, standing at 5'11" and had thinning grey hair but leanly muscular arms that evidenced that he used to be either a soldier or hard labourer.
"I used my magic to move us here." Natsu stated plainly, as though a todler would have realized what had happened
"No magic is that fast, but either way you are clearly mages so by all means, go kill those stupid crocodile things!" The mayor said
"Fine, do you want proof of the victory?" Natsu asked while Laxus got ready to show off his magic to the wizard saint he was with, the 5th wizard saint to be exact, and one of the most powerful members of his guild, if not the most powerful, even though Gildarts was still considered the Ace.
"Yes, we would like three heads if that's not too much trouble,"
"That's not a problem at all, We will go get those now." Natsu said as he turned to leave, while he was walking out he said to Laxus "Show me what you can do, but try not to char the heads."
"Easy! One of these days, Gramps is gonna let me fight you, and I'm gonna win!" Laxus said, which was odd considering the man he was trying to impress was both younger than him but should not be anywhere near as powerful but he always had his trump card, Quint-Curse magic.
"Yeah keep dreaming thunder boy," Natsu laughed
"I will! But right now lets go kill these things!" Laxus shouted
===Outside The Village===
Natsu and Laxus appeared outside the village seconds later and Laxus immidiatly began looking for the Croc monsters, whipping his head from side to side. He saw them and shot over there using his lightning body tecnique and began fighting the crocs.
"Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist!, Lightning Dragon's Shocking Fang, Lightning Dragon's Roar!" Laxus screamed as he let off the attacks in quick succession. Natsu still didn't look impressed and he looked at a croc running toward him
"Apocolypse Dragon's Death Glare," and the croc simply stopped moving as it died from a blue and black magic energy that shot from Natsu's narrowed eyesjust before more crocs jumped out of the lake and tried to look meanacing in front of the two powerful mages, one crackling with lightning, the other emmiting black and blue magic that simply killed averything it touched. "Laxus, let me deal with this lot." Natsu stated simply before walking forward then dashing at the nearest croc and punched it with a now flaming fist before calling forth his Fire Dragon's Burning Wings that sprouted forth from Natsu's shoulder blades and enhanced his speed and therefore punching power dramaticaly. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" he called as he punched five crocs out of the way, where Laxus had only got two with his own dragon punching tecnique.
"Way to go Natsu!" Laxus yelled as he ran forth and KO'd one more to use for the trophies. Then he lost his happy smirk and his eyes widened in horror as a huge croc at lest two hundred feet long and twenty feet high emerged from the massive lake they were fighting next to and let off a colossal roar that shook the ground and made Laxus move back a few steps as Natsu simply walked forward and said with a wave of his hand
"Quint-Curse: Agony." A green light shot from his palm and connected with the croc as the tiny green needles that made up the green light buried themselves in the nerves of the croc and completely immobalized it while causing intense pain to shoot through the croc while Natsu sucked in air and then yelled "Flaming Apocolypse Dragon's Roar!" as a gargantuan vortex of red flames and black and blue death swirled through the space at an alarming rate and obliterated the giant croc instantly. "And that, Laxus, is how you take down a giant croc monster." he stated with a smirk as he walked off.
"Cocky bastard," Laxus muttered under his breath before following Natsu back to the village after grabbing three crocs and dragging them behind him
===Back In The Village===
When Natsu and Laxus stepped back into the mayors office dragging three croc corpses after only being gone 30 minuets and using 25 of those just to walk back because Natsu was saving his energy for the displacement back to the guild hall.
"H-how s-strong are y-you guys?!" the mayor asked in complete shock at the calibre of mages in his little village
"Well I can't speak for thunder breath over there but I'm the 5th wizard saint." Natsu said with a smirk
"Yeah keep bragging, ass, one day I'm gonna pound your pink ass into the ground!"
"Keep fucking dreaming, ya big blonde bastard!" Natsu shouted back before punching him through four walls and across town, as if to punctuate his point
"I-is he going to be okay?" the mayor asked
"Yeah he'll be fine," Natsu said off-handedly "Can I have our reward and we'll get out of your hair,"
"Y-yeah sure," the mayor said as he scurried to find the reward, when he came back Laxus was just getting back while massaging his shoulder.
"Ya dick that broke peoples houses!" Laxus yelled at his superior
"Fine you can deduct it from your half of the reward, since it was you that broke it." Natsu said to his subordinate
"Or we could bolt?"
"That works." Natsu said as he dissapeared along with Laxus and the reward.
===Back In Magnolia===
Natsu and Laxus simply appear outside of Magnolia before the streets clear and the chaos shift begins, the guild had re named it from a Gildarts shift because it wasn't simply for Gildarts anymore and both of them caused complete chaos when they got back, if Natsu had used his Apocolypse dragon slayer magic then it lashed out at people causing chaos and destruction in its wake because of it's nature.
"Why don't you just teleport into the guild hall?" Laxus asked, irritated that they had to walk the last bit.
"There is a bunch of seals and spells set up in Magnolia that surpress my displacement magic so I can only move small things while in the city, plus there is something really satisfying in watching an entire city move because of you!" Natsu explained with his trademark grin slapped across his face
"Why do they need to do that? Surely it's more useful if you just go straight to the guild hall." Laxus said, forever pointing out the obvious.
"I don't know. Ask the master," Natsu said before walking forewards since the shift was done
===One Short Walk Later===
"ICE-MAKE CANNON!" Gray shouted the minuet Natsu entered the guild hall, then it was stopped with a single hand, then that hand glowed green as Natsu's Quint-Curse: Obey was activated in order to stop any fights occuring in the guild hall
"Gray, I don't know why you bother. Go train rather than waiting for me to get back to challenge me with the same power as before." Natsu said, before looking down and giving a sightly amused chuckle until Gray looked down to see what was funny. It was that stupid stripping habit. But it was worse than usual, he was completely naked.
"Welcome back, Chaos," Erza smiled, as she walked over to her boyfriend, smiling at the pet name she had given him, then latched onto his arm with a quick peck on the cheek
"Hey, Angel. Anything interesting happen on your job?" He said smiling back as the walked up to the second floor and Natsu displaced half of his reward on the bar, a custom for him as he didn't need much money to get by anyway. His half rewards always went to repairing damages or sponsering events.
"Yes, actually, something quite important happened, I caught wind of a rumor about the dark guild Eisenwald making a grab at some sealed death magic called Lullaby, what do you think that is?" she asked as they sat down on their table on the S-Class floor.
"Oh, Lullaby, that's one of Zeref's demon magics, its a flute imbued with death magic with a three eyed skull. The seal on it is pretty strong though so I wonder what they plan to do with it."
"I still have no idea how you know so much about Zeref's magics, it baffles me every time. We should leave tomorrow to stop whatever they plan to do with it though." Erza said, utterly impressed with her boyfriends vast knowledge on Zeref
"I'll tell you about how I know about Zeref then, this is the first time I have told anyone but the master though."
"Wait, you're seriously going to tell me!"
"Yeah, well, I have actually met Zeref, no he isn't dead, as far as I know he is on tenrou island, to keep himself isolated from anyone he might hurt. He actually created his demons by accident, he was trying to resurect someone dear to him but none of them worked and became the demons of Zeref we know today."
"WHAT! I don't belive that. He is said to be the most evil man who ever lived." Erza almost yelled "Wait, how do you know all this, you can't have actually met him."
"Well, that's where you would be wrong." Natsu said quietly "Zeref was my second master, he was the one who gave me all my magic, other than my fire dragon slaying."
===The End===
===For Now===
AN: Well that took a while! I sort of ran out of inspiration about halfway through this chapter and decided to bring the word count over 2000. As I said at the start of the story, I had the basics of this planned out but nothing too solid. Good Bye and see you soon!
