Chapter 2 let the training begin
The colossus wooden doors of the guild hall slowly opened as the sun rose up from the horizon to welcome another day. Various people turned their heads towards the entrance as the two silver haired residents made there way inside. "What are we doing at the guild mum?" Haru questioned unaware of what Lisanna was planning.
"You said you wanted to get stronger to protect Amy right? Well if you want to learn how to use your sword, the best teacher for you is the very same person who gave you that sword." Lisanna said stroking her son's hair and leading the way. As they made there way through the guild hall, a huge fight broke out right in front of them. "You bastard, I'll kill you for stepping on my precious strawberry cake!" Erza said kicking elfman Lisanna's older brother in the chest in a firing rage. Elfman soared through the air crashing into the table behind him. "Miss Erza is scary mum." Haru said hugging closely to Lisanna.
"Don't worry Haru, you know Erza is a nice lady." Lisanna said comforting him as they walked closer to her. Erza turned around after teaching Elfman a lesson and her expression quickly changed.
"Oh if it isn't Lisanna and little Haru. How are you both?" Erza said in a welcoming manner.
"Good morning Erza, actually Haru wanted to ask you for a favour." Lisanna said pushing her son forward who now held a box in his hand.
"Oh really? What is it Haru go ahead and ask me." Erza said with a huge smile on her face as she looked down at him.
Haru bowed down to her and requested as he held out the parcel in his hand.
"I'm begging you miss erza, please become my teacher and help me get stronger! I want to learn the ways of a true swordsman!" Haru said his eyes full of sincerity.
Erza's expression changed slightly her face now looking towards him with a piercing glare. "Oh and tell me Haru Dragneel, why do you want to learn my magical technique?"
"I want only to become strong enough so I can protect my little sister. I want to be as strong as my father or at least half as good as he is so I can make sure Amy will never be hurt or cry again!" Haru said not letting her eyes throw him off. Erza smiled and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Very nice, I like the look in your eyes Haru and I admire your resolve. Very well, I will teach you the art of requip. However be warned, my training isn't easy and will be very challenging. I'm willing to take you as my student, but are you ready to take on such a tough training schedule?" Erza asked waiting patiently for his answer.
"Of course! I will endure any hardship or pain in order to protect my little sister." Haru replied not taking his eyes off his wanted teacher.
"Excellent, it's settled then I will train you requip magic." Erza said extending her hand for him to shake. Haru gladly accepted her handshake and then offered to her the parcel he was carrying.
"What's this?" Erza said looking at the parcel.
"A gift from me, my mum told me you like sweet things." Haru said looking at her as she unfastened the ribbon. As Erza opened the gift, her eyes soon shot open and her eyes sparkled with joy. "Haru you're such a nice boy!" Erza said hugging him tightly.
She then reverted her eyes to Lisanna. "This strawberry cake will make up for the one your older brother ruined Lisanna. Erza said laughing with Lisanna.
"By the way Haru, has your sister decided on the magic she wants to learn?" Erza asked.
"Actually yeah, right now she's…."
Meanwhile back at the Dragneel house.
"What's wrong Amy? You look like you want to ask me something?" Natsu asked as he observed his cute pink haired daughter staring at him like a helpless puppy waiting for a treat.
"Actually daddy, I was wondering if you would teach me dragon slayer magic. You're magic is so cool and strong, but it's also very pretty and warm. Please daddy, teach me the magic grandpa taught you. I want to be a dragon wizard as well!" Amy said bowing her head to Natsu.
Natsu smiled stroking her head. "How could I refuse a request like that from you cute little daughter. Sure I'll teach you. And then we can spar with each other!"
"Yeah thank you daddy!" Amy said embracing her father with a huge smile implanted on her face.
Back at the guild.
"Oh I see so she wants to be a dragon slayer too?" Erza said nodding her head.
"Yeah she said she wanted to be a dragon just like dad after watching him take on those gorians in the woods last night." Haru replied to Erza.
"I see so are you ready to start your training?" Erza asked folding her arms to her chest.
"Yes teacher I am.." Haru is interrupted by a doting aunt who suddenly hugged him.
"Yay its Haru my cute little nephew! How are you sweetie? Would you like some Juice?" Mira said hugging the little guy into her chest.
"I'm fine aunt Mira but I can't breathe." Haru said trying to escape her vice grip.
"Mira let go of him please he has a mission he wants to start. He's just like his father hard working and determined." Lisanna said blushing as she thought about her husband.
Mirajane released Haru and walked over to her little sister instead engaging in girly talk about her marriage and her children.
"Let's go Haru, while your mum has your aunt distracted." Erza said moving the young swordsman toward the exit.
"Thank you teacher. I'm ready for my training." Haru said now finally away from the guild hall and his doting aunt.
"Great to hear. Your aunt means well she just can't control herself when it comes to her family." Erza replied.
"Now Haru, pick up your sword and attack me." Erza commanded requipping a practice wooden sword to arm herself with.
"But is it really okay? For me to use my real sword against that toy one?" Haru said unsheathing his blade.
"You should never judge a weapon by the material it is made from my student. And besides, you'll have to be able to land a strike on me first. Now come at me!" Erza said taking a defensive stance.
"Okay you asked for it teacher!" Haru said charging erza in a flailing rush.
Haru attempted to slice erza but was nowhere near fast enough as she effortlessly evaded to the side striking his shoulder with her own weapon.
"Too slow! Come on show me your strength!" Erza commanded.
Haru obeyed attempting a second attack. This time Haru tried to attack her from the side but once again erza was much faster this time closing the distance between them and delivering a painful counter attack to his gut as she hit it with the hilt of her sword. Haru grabbed him stomach in reaction to the painful blow collapsing to his knee's.
"What's wrong Haru? Is this all you're resolve carries? Is this really how much you want to protect your sister? Because if that's the case, you'll be better off not sustaining any more injuries and leaving now." Erza said coldly staring down at him.
"No way! I promised her to become stronger and protect her! I won't turn my back on her now!" Haru said a different look in his eyes now surfacing. Haru instead of rushing straight in blind, attacked her from the front with much faster speed now he was focused and not wasting energy. Erza this time decided to receive the strength of his sword blocking his blade with her own. Haru didn't stop his assault with that one strike as he continuously delivered an attack after another. Erza blocked all of Haru's attacks but smiled whilst he attempted to bring her down. "Very good Haru, don't view the blade you carry as a simple object, it is your resolve and your spirit to protect your sister. Don't carelessly waste your energy and concentrate it into a single point to strike me down!" Erza ordered feeling the power of his feelings with every attack he brought against her. After another 10 minutes of intense sparring, Haru fell onto the floor completely worn out. "You did well Haru it seems you have some potential."
"What really? I couldn't even manage to break your defence let alone your sword." Haru complained feeling weak.
"Oh but you came very close my student, just look at my weapon. Even though I parried every single strike you made, your resolve to become stronger to protect your sister almost made it's way through my defence." Erza said showing him the cracks developing on her blade.
"I look forward to watching you grown and see how far you can take my teachings to fulfil your mission." Erza said handing him some water with a huge smile.
Meanwhile, just as Haru had begun his training with his new teacher. Amy had followed her father to another location in order to learn his magical power. Natsu and Amy stood alone in a isolated area. "So daddy, what are you going to teach me?" Amy questioned confused on what he was up to.
"The first thing I'm going to do is show you dragon slayer magic against tough obstacles. And for that, I have invited a friend of mine to help show you." Natsu said pointing over to the person walking slowly towards them. It only took Amy a few seconds to register who was coming this way by which time she ran straight towards them arms extended out.
"Uncle Gray!" Amy said leaping straight into his chest.
"Hello Amy, how have you been?" Gray said smiling as she hugged into him.
"Yo gray! Glad you could assist me with training my daughter." Natsu said extending his fist out for gray to match his own fist with.
"Not a problem, I could use some training to get the blood flowing. Gray said getting into position on top of the rocks above them.
"Amy just sit there and watch what true dragon slayer magic looks and feels like." Natsu said closing his eyes as Gray met his fist with his open palm conjuring his elemental power into his hands.
"Ice make pillars!" Gray shouted summoning several colossal frozen obelisks. 5 ice pillars rained down upon Natsu. Natsu without a moments hesitation, leaped into the air and with a piercing roundhouse kick smashed through the first ice pillar. Natsu turned 360 degrees and smashed his dynamic fist through the next pillar. All of a sudden, three more ice pillars closed in on Natsu all at once. "Fire dragon's wing attack!" Natsu said waving both of his arms to the side and generated powerful flames to melt the ice. However, gray used this as a smoke screen and launched another more powerful attack launching a humungous ice sphere at Natsu whilst it hid in the aftermath of Natsu's strike. Natsu grinned welcoming the challenge as it offered another glimpse of his power for Amy. "A flame in my left hand and a flame in my right. Combine both of these flames together. Fire dragon's brilliant flame!"Natsu generated his power into single point creating a huge sphere of flames melting the ice sphere on impact. However, once again once the ice attack was melted, it created another huge smoke screen. Using his heightened vision, Natsu could just barely make out the shadow emerging from the fog giving him time to block Gray full buster's surprise kick. Natsu and gray both landed onto the ground standing opposite each other. "What the hell was that for Gray?!" Natsu said in a frustrated tone.
"I said I'd help show your daughter your power, but I never said that I would simply sit back and watch." Gray replied cracking his knuckles.
"Heh that's fine, I was getting bored of smashing your ice shards anyway." Natsu said getting ready to fight.
Within in seconds, Natsu and Gray closed the distance between them on the battlefield. A brawl broke out as they exchanged blows. Gray went for a high kick to Natsu's head but Natsu blocked the kick with an upper block and aimed a punch for Gray's gut. Natsu's hand punched Gray's gut but was unable to feel skin as Gray made an ice fragment form just in time. Natsu and Gray broke off and then immediately started again. The wind howled heavily as the fight proceeded as Natsu and Gray's fists collided with each other. Amy stared in awe at the two wizards competing against each other and made it her mission to watch her dad fight. Gray took a step back placing his fist on his open palm. "Ice impact!" Gray shouted conjuring a solid spiked hammer.
Natsu grinned vaulting backwards and using his hands to press against the ground, kicked his ignited feet into the air towards Gray's attack. "Fire dragon's talons!" The ice impact was destroyed and Natsu had to evade quickly as Gray's lance improved lance attack was coming straight for him. Natsu fired flames from his mouth to use as a spring board to regain his balance and to avoid the ice attack. Gray made another attack towards Natsu. "Ice make knuckle!" A giant ice fist punched towards Natsu.
"Fire dragon's iron fist!" Natsu ignited his fist and met his own enflamed fist with Gray's frozen one.
The magic attacks caused a huge cloud of smoke as they both collided. Gray rushed through the smoke straight towards Natsu. "Cold Excalibur!" Gray armed himself with his chilled blade and sliced down on Natsu. Natsu didn't avoid the attack instead he caught the blade in between his hands. Gray strained his shoulder muscles bringing down the sword closer to Natsu. However, Natsu heated up his body and began to melt the sword. Gray accidentally lessened his strength to figure out what just happened giving Natsu the opportunity to strike. Natsu dropped backwards to the floor and put his hand on the ground as he manoeuvred his body to kick into Gray's gut. Gray was sent flying backwards meanwhile Natsu jumped into the sky bringing his ignited hands down in a spiralling fashion as gravity overpowered him. "Fire dragon's wing attack!" The flames crashed down where gray was with a direct hit. As soon as the attack finished, Natsu saw that Gray had made a huge shield of ice with two layers. "You're not the only who has gotten stronger Natsu." Gray said with a grin on his face. Gray conjured more magical power into his hands forging an enormous rocket launcher. "Ice mega cannon!" Gray fired his heavy artillery sending an enormous frozen blast attack at Natsu. "Dragon slayer's secret arts, Crimson lotus exploding flame blade!" Natsu spun both of his ignited hands in a spiralling motion sending his own fire mega blast to intercept Gray's special move. Both magic attacks exploded on impact creating a massive powerful aftermath to the area. When the blast battle ceased, both Natsu and Gray were standing proudly and tall. "Wow Uncle Gray and Daddy are so awesome! But I though that since daddy was a fire wizard that uncle gray would lose?" Amy questioned completely puzzled.
"You see Amy; just because a wizard has the upper hand in the case of their element, it doesn't mean they are guaranteed to win believe me. And besides, if I was fighting at full power this guy wouldn't stand a chance!" Natsu said causing Gray to bite back and they began arguing. Amy started laughing at both of them and was proud to have such powerful wizards so close to her.
Haru and Amy both smiled proudly as they felt they were finally coming closer to becoming fairy tail wizards. But they both knew this road wasn't going to be easy or quick.
