"Wow!" Natsu exclaimed as he gazed upon the Fairy Tail Guild, "It's so big!"
The building consisted of three floors and incorporating several architectonic styles: it took on a shape reminiscent of a pagoda, with each floor being smaller than the one below it and sitting on the latter's roof. The roofs also bore great resemblance to those of real pagoda, consisting of extremely long, arched tiles lined up one after the other and possessing simple curved protrusions jutting upwards on the building's angles. On the highest roof, topping the summit of the building, sat a simple, round and pointed dome, highly reminiscent of those seen on Arabian buildings, which bore a flag on its point. The roof below the one with the dome, the middle one, housed a large banner with Fairy Tail's symbol on it, held up by a pair of vertical poles. The building's large entrance was again Arabian in design, with its shape being reminiscent of that of the dome on the summit, and above it was the guild's name, topped by a protruding, stylized heart shape and flanked by a pair of carved fairies. Stylized heart shapes were also visible on the frames of the numerous, large pentagonal windows located on each floor, with the top floor housing smaller, arched windows partially covered by banners.
"Goo-pi, that's what she said." Came the voice of Ragnarok from his mind. It had been a week since Natsu had gained freedom, and during that time he had been training with Ragnarok on a few of their abilities, such as their Screech techniques and their Bloody Needles and Bloody Lance attacks.
"I, uh, I don't get that joke Ragnarok." Natsu said timidly, earning a growl from Ragnarok.
"Whatever Natsu, I should go out there and punch you!"
"But I don't think I could deal with that!" Natsu yelled loudly, before he heard a voice coming from behind him.
"And what exactly can't you deal with, lad?" Natsu yelped and quickly turned around to the source of the voice, and extremely short and extremely old man. He has black eyes and is growing bald with only the outer rims of his head containing white hair. He also has a thick white mustache. He was dressed in a casual manners which consist of a white shirt with black Fairy Tail stamp in the middle which covered by an orange hoodie. His attire was completed with matching orange shorts and an orange and blue stripes designed jester hat.
"N-Nothing." Natsu said as he diverted his gaze away from the old man. The old man raised an eyebrow at the boy's shy and withdrawn attitude.
"Well is there any particular reason that you're standing outside of my Guild talking to yourself?" The old man asked, noticing Natsu's eyes widen slightly.
"Your Guild?" Natsu yelled, taken aback.
The old man nodded, "Yes, my name is Makarov Dreyer, and I am the Third Guild Master of Fairy Tail."
"You're the guild master!?" Natsu yelled in shock.
"Indeed I am!" Makarov laughed jovially. "Now come on my boy, let's introduce you to the guild!"
As he said this, he pushed the doors open and walked inside, sending waves and nods to the occupants inside.
"Welcome back, Master!" Wakaba said as he held his drink up.
"Yeah, good to see you!" Macao said as he also held his drink up, before he and Wakaba tapped their mugs against each other.
Makarov started chuckling, "It's good to be back! Now, where would you like your guild mark t-" Makarov stopped when he noticed that the boy who he thought was next to him was still outside the guild.
Everybody followed his gaze and turned their attention to the pink haired boy who just started walked inside of the guild. The boy, noticing that he was the center of attention, quickly averted his gaze to the floor.
"H-Hi." Natsu said. He quickly made his way over to Makarov and followed him to the bar, where he pulled out a stamp.
"So, you would like to join our guild, correct?" Makarov said as Natsu nodded, not wanting to talk. "Well then, where would you like your guild stamp, and what color would you like?"
Natsu rolled up his right shirt sleeve and pointed to his right shoulder, "I'll take black."
Makarov nodded and pressed the stamp to his shoulder, and when he pulled it off, there was a black Fairy Tail symbol on his shoulder. "Welcome to Fairy Tail!" Makarov said with a big smile on his face. "Now, why don't you make yourself acquainted with the other members?" He added, motioning over to a table with kids around Natsu's age.
Natsu nodded as he slowly made his way over to the table, taking in the appearance of each person. There was a red haired girl wearing armor and had a sword strapped to her waist, a black haired boy without a shirt on, three white haired kids with blue eyes, who he assumed to be siblings, a brown haired girl with a few cards in front of her, and a short blue haired girl with a book in front of her.
The red haired girl stepped forward and started speaking, "Hello, my name is Erza Scarlet, what's your name?"
Unbeknownst to Natsu, Ragnarok decided to have some fun.
"My name is Natsu Crona."
"What's it to you, fire crotch!?" Came the voice of Ragnarok.
Everything in the guild froze at those words, did that new kid just insult Erza? Meanwhile, Erza's hair was shadowing her eyes while she was emitting an aura of death.
"Excuse me?" She said in a voice barely above a whisper, "What did you just call me?"
Natsu started stuttering when he felt her aura, "I-I didn-"
"I called you a fire crotch, got a problem with it!?"
Erza growled as she started to draw her sword, "You're going to regret saying that!" she yelled as she started to approach him.
"But I didn't say it!" Natsu yelled as he tried to use his arms for protection.
"Oh? Than who did!?" Erza yelled as she prepared to swing her sword at him.
"It was Ragnarok!"
"And who is Ragnarok!?" Erza yelled, swinging her sword forward.
"Goo-pi!" Ragnarok yelled as he emerged from Natsu's back and stopped Erza's sword with his small hand, "Hey there, fire crotch!" Ragnarok yelled as he snapped her sword in two.
Erza quickly backed away and stared at Ragnarok with a look of pure bewilderment on her face, the same with everybody else in the guild hall. Their bewilderment was only enhanced when they saw Ragnarok put his fists on the sides of Natsu's head and start grinding them into his skull.
"You idiot!" the blood yelled, "Why did you have to ruin my fun!? I'm gonna stop you from getting any sleep for a week now, do you like that!?"
"I don't like it, the dark circles under my eyes will come back and I don't know how to deal with the dark circles!" Natsu yelled as he was still getting noggied by Ragnarok.
"Wha-what the hell is that!?" Mirajane yelled as she pointed a finger at Ragnarok.
"That's rude! Didn't anybody ever teach you that it's not polite to point at people!" Ragnarok yelled as he stopped giving Natsu a noogie.
"That doesn't answer my question!" Mirajane said as she still pointed at him, though with slight anger in her voice.
"This is Ragnarok," Natsu said timidly, "He's part of me, I guess you could say that he's my blood."
"You're blood?" The black haired boy said as he crossed his arms, slightly getting over the surprise that Ragnarok gave him.
"Yes, my blood is black you know." Natsu said as the short white haired girl slowly approached him, which made Natsu tense his muscles slightly.
The girl stopped in front of him before she put her hands to her hips and a brilliant smile came to her face, "Hi there! I'm Lisanna!" The girl exclaimed, her smile seemingly becoming brighter.
Natsu, not used to receiving any form of affection, started blushing before he looked away from Lisanna, which apparently pissed off Mirajane, "Hey! Don't just ignore my sister like that!" she screamed at him, before noticing tears well up in the corners of his eyes.
"I'm sorry; I'm not very good at talking with girls. They make me nervous." Natsu said as he backed away from Mirajane, who he mentally dubbed 'The Scary Girl'.
Lisanna just giggled while Mirajane mumbled something about Natsu being cute with a dreamy expression on her face. "Come sit down with us, Natsu!" Lisanna said with the same bright smile on her face, "I'm positive that you and Ragnarok will be great friends with everybody!"
Ragnarok glared at the girl, or what could be the equivalent to a glare considering his ping-pong ball like eyes, "Let's get one thing clear girl, I don't like your attitude, it pisses me off."
"Come on Ragnarok, don't be like that." Natsu told his blood, only to be punched in the head.
"Whatever, I'm going to sleep. Don't wake me up or I'll steal all the food you get for a month!"
"But if you do that I'll lose weight! I can't lose weight! I don't know how to deal with being any skinnier than I already am!" Natsu yelled desperately, but got no reply as Ragnarok reverted back inside of his body. Natsu slowly followed Lisanna and sat down in the chair next to her, as everyone in the guild went back to doing what they were before, but still sent curious glances towards Natsu. "I'm sorry about Ragnarok, he's always been like that."
"It's okay, he's probably just grumpy about something." Lisanna said as she leaned in towards Natsu, causing him to blush again and look away from her, causing her to giggle again. "You don't have to be shy, we're all friends here and that includes you too!"
Natsu froze, "Fri-Friends?" he asked hesitantly.
Lisanna nodded happily, "Yep! I can tell that you and Ragnarok will be great friends with everybody!"
Natsu just looked at her as tears welled up in the corner of his eyes, causing Lisanna to look at him with worry on her face, "Are you okay?"
"I've never had any friends. I don't know if I can deal with that."
"How can someone not have any friends?" The brown haired girl, Cana, asked in shock.
Natsu looked down at his lap, "I don't want to talk about it, is that okay?"
Surprisingly, it was Erza who answered, "Of course it's okay. If you don't feel like talking about your past, then we shall respect your decision." This of course, got strange glances from the surrounding members, but Erza didn't care. She knows that look on his face, it was the look that she had when she was asked about her past. She didn't know what happened to Natsu, but she knew that it must have been horrible, and she will find out and help him with it.
"But Erza-" Gray started before he was cut off.
"No buts! If he doesn't feel like talking about it then we shall all respect his decision, am I right?" She said as they all nodded fearfully.
Meanwhile, Natsu was just staring at what just happened with confusion in his eyes. "They sure are strange, aren't they?"
They blonde woman sighed as she looked over some documents in front of her, it was very late at night and she'd rather be sleeping than looking at research papers. Her name was Medusa Gorgon, and she was one of the Ten Wizard Saints.
Her eyes slowly trailed to the photo of a small pink haired baby boy on her desk, and her eyes immediately filled with sorrow.
"Natsu… where are you, my son?"
So, I made Natsu's last name Crona because I wanted to, not gonna change it. And yes, Medusa is Natsu's mother, though she'll actually be good in this story and not like in Soul Eater. She will basically be like how she acted when she was a nurse for the DWMA.
