It was mid morning at the fairytail guild hall. Everything was normal and the guild echoed with laughter and chatter. Natsu and Gray were going head to head, Ezra was enjoying a strawberry cake while chatting with Mira, and Lucy was looking for a job on the request board.
"Still looking?" Mira called over to Lucy who was busily scanning the board. "Uh hum." replied Lucy lost in though. She was about to give up when suddenly a flash of red caught her eye. "Found one!" exclaimed Lucy as she swiftly pulled the tattered paper out from where it was buried amongst the other jobs. The poster said:
WANTED
A Fire Wizard and a Celestial Mage
The Demon Dragon gate key vanished ten years ago and was last seen on Dragon Spiral Island, when the island exploded. Rumor has it that it has resurfaced, unscathed and unharmed. It says that the key dwells in a hidden cavern under rumble and molten lava. In order to touch the key the person must be a celestial mage or spirit, and to get past all the traps the person must know fire magic.
The Demon Dragon spirit is supposedly the most powerful spirit of them all rumored to be a hundred times more powerful than the Celestial Spirit King.
The Demon Dragons name is unknown and the spirit has never been under a contract.
The key is pure obsidian and has a dragon wrapped around the handle. The dragon's eyes are fire red rubies and the key glows at the touch. Once found give the key to the Steele Sapphire organization to collect your reward.
REWARD
50 million jewel
Lucy's eyes practically bugged out of her head at the price "fifty-million jewel that could pay my rent for years!" she exclaimed. "Natsu I found the perfect job that we both can do." She singsonged as she skipped to where Natsu and Gray were getting ready to through down. The fire mage was getting his fire dragon iron fist ready while the ice mage was in ice make position, and they were trading insults back and forth
"Flame-brain"
"Ice- prick"
"Dragon breath"
'Numb-skHey Luce!" Natsu broke off his insult to see what his favorite team mate needed. "Hey Natsu" Lucy said as she walked over to where he was standing and shoved the flyer in his face. "Read this it's the perfect job don't you think and the rewards amazing!" her eyes grew little hearts as she thought about the money. Natsu let out a little laugh and said "I would love to Luce but all I see is paper." Lucy squeaked "oops sorry Natsu" and pulled it out from his face and handed it to him.
As Natsu started to read his face fell and the fire that was burning on his right fist went out until the only emotion he showed was fear. He muttered something under his breath and then he breathed in really deep and started to walk out the large doors. "Natsu where are you going." Lucy called out to him wondering what the hell shaked him up so badly. "That's just it im not going." He called back over his shoulder. "But why" Lucy's large orbs filled with disbelief. "Just cause." He said as he pulled open the door.
"Oi, dummy we aren't done!" Gray yelled out to Natsu; mad that he just walked on their brawl. Natsu spun around and said to Gray with a straight face "Find someone else to beat you up I don't feel like it today." The entire guild which had stopped their conversation to listen on the two loudest members were shocked, Natsu the fire headed idiot had just turned down a fight in a calm non-destructive way. Even Gray was surprised. All the fuss and attention had called over Ezra who was fuming because in the commotion someone had knocked her cake to the ground.
"NATSU DRAGNEEL WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" she yelled at him as the bystanders made way for the red-head who was already equipped in her heavens wheel armor. Natsu allow the door to close behind him with a slam as he turned to face the Erza. His sensitive hearing picked up a few "oh he's dead" and "wouldn't want to be him" floating around the crowd as Erza walked to him. Natsu turned around and looked Erza in the eye before standing his ground.
"I told Gray I don't feel like battling today and the same rules apply to you Erza." Natsu said causing a murmur of disbelief, pity, and amusement to run through the crowd. Erza stopped walking towards him shock written plain over her face. She raised her sword and brought it crashing down on Natsu.
Except it went straight through air.
Nastu had dodged the swipe and was standing right behind Erza. Before Erza even had time to blink, Natsu had placed a Fire dragon Iron fist to the back of her head and left her lying on the ground. The entire guild froze. When Natsu looked back at the crowd that had gathered; Lucy saw a flash of red reflected in his eye.
As he turned away Lucy shrugged it off, reassuring herself that it was just the lighting but it still left a cold empty feeling in her heart. Natsu stood in the entrance to the guild with the light streaming on his left side of his face while putting the rest in shadow. He cradled his right arm and rubbed a spot on the back of his arm; lost in thought. He turned around so he was facing Lucy and looked at her almost like it was painful.
"I will go with you on the job to find the stupid key, but mark my words if we complete that job successfully…." He turned away and put one foot out the door, and whispered as if what he said next was his greatest secret "if it is completed successfully…."
"I will never be the same."
"We leave on Tuesday" he said briskly as he let the guild doors slam behind him as he walked out, leaving the stunned expression of his guild mates behind.
He looked up at the sky, scanning the blue as if he could see the stars that came out each night. His onyx eyes found the spot where the Demon Dragon constellation would be if it was still around.
"Oh Lucy, why did you pick that job?"
Aww Natsu's so cute (fangirl squeal)
He just beat up Erza and he still around to talk about it XD
