Chapter 2

At the Void Kingdom

A pillar of flames was seen in the courtyard of the kingdom as it nearly reached the clouds. Twelve mages were already beaten with their clothes and face burnt, struggling to get back on their knees.

"That makes twelve this day. Yesterday it was twenty." Natsu said with a smirk on his face. He had grown to an older age. He donned a red jacket with flame patterns on the sleeves. He wore black slacks along with black sandals.

"Nice job Natsu. Your magic has improved to an amazing level. I think you're ready for your first mission." Alehot said walking towards Natsu.

"I've been waiting for this! What do I got to do?" Natsu questioned, cracking his knuckles. Alehot bought out a small orb that showed a projection.

"Your mission is to head towards Hargeon to retrieve an item an old man kept keeping away from us. It's known as the Golden Tear Orb. It has the power to make anyone fall under your control with just a cry from them. All you have to do is cause some chaos in Hargeon, hope to make someone cry and the orb will react, unleashing its power." Alehot made the projection disappear.

"Oh, I can do that. I'll head there now, and they won't see what's coming."

Natsu whistled as he called up a flying dire wolf that came from above. "Come on boy. Let's get going. We have some chaos to cause."

At the Fairy Tail guild, Makarov was currently talking to Erza about a distressing matter.

"A spy I sent managed to get information on the Void kingdom's next move. Their aim is to find the golden tear orb. Its obvious that they are still focused on domination and control. They are only sending one person though." Makarov said to Erza.

"I see. I will handle this problem then. If we capture this person, we can question them about the kingdom."

"Very well. Good luck Erza."

Hargeon Train Station, 24 minutes later

Natsu and the dire wolf had reached their destination as they were above high in the skies.

"Good boy. Wait here. I will handle the rest." Natsu jumped off the dire wolf, raising his hands up which were suddenly ignited with flames. A man pointed up in the sky, noticing Natsu heading downwards. Before he could say anything, Natsu had landed, slamming his hands on the ground. The impact caused a wide flame explosion that took up half of the train station. A hundred people were caught in the flames, burning to death or severely injured. The remaining people ran off in fear, exiting the train station.

"So, let's see who's weeping right now" Natsu looked at the injured people, looking for someone that was crying. He only saw them struggling to get up or holding their injuries.

"Stop right there!" A voice was heard from the left side of Natsu's ear. He turned his head as he noticed Erza running towards him.

"Oh? You asking for a fight?" Natsu grinned deviously as he set his hands on fire."

"Re-quip! Heaven's Wheel!" Erza jumped into the air as a golden light engulfed her body. She spun around as she gained a metal armour that showed her cleavage besides everything else She had a metal skirt with some metal headgear as well. She then landed down as she had multiple swords floating behind her.

"A member of the Void kingdom huh?" Erza said glaring at Natsu.

"More like soon to be emperor! Get lost red!" Natsu stomped on the ground as his flames got hotter.

"Be quiet you!" Erza shouted as she sent all of the blades flying at Natsu. He crossed his arms together sending a cutting flame attack on the blades.

"Fire Dragon Incinerating Cutter!" The flames cut the blades in half as they nearly hi Erza. She jumped back as a small bit of it cut a tiny piece of her hair off. The pink haired boy then ran forward at her, tossing some fireballs her way. She used more blades to defend herself from the attacks. Natsu then leaped up with flames on his feet, giving him air. He held his breath in as Erza looked up at him.

"Fire Dragon Roar!" Natsu let out a mighty roar that shot out a huge flame that came from his mouth. Erza who barely had anytime to react was hit directly with the flame. The impact caused a giant flaming explosion that levelled most of the train station. He landed down as he wiped his mouth, smirking.

Erza emerged from the smoke as her armour was broken making her revert to her standard Heart Kreuz armour. Even that armour was nearly broken as well. The breastplate had been destroyed revealing her blue rags. She fell on her knees with her eyes widened.

"How? One attack did that?" Erza got up from her knees as she was all tattered with bruises on her face and thighs.

"I won't let that stop me though. Re-quip!" Erza changed again in a different armour this time. This one seemed to be more revealing than the previous one.

"Purgatory Armour!" Erza emerged from the light.

"Ha-ha! Once I beat you I could take you into the kingdom as my own. Yes that's a genius idea!"

"Like hell I'd be yours!" Erza dashed forward swinging her blade at Natsu. Natsu backflipped from the slash. The slash cut open the floor leaving some cracks. Natsu then kicked the air, shooting fire out. Erza put her blade up blocking the flame. Natsu then ran forward at her, pulling his right hand back.

"Fire Dragon Inferno Tunnel!" Natsu thrusted his hand forward, sending a spiral flame onto Erza. Erza used her blade to block it once more, however the flame pushed her back into a wall. Erza screamed in pain as the flame kept on going, spinning at her chest continuously.

"That's it. Cry. So, this can end quicker." Natsu said as he walked towards her. He grabbed her by the neck as he tossed her to the ground. She then reverted back to her rags.

"I'll come back for you, red. Right now, I have an orb to find." Natsu walked out of the train station as he entered the town. He spotted an old man, hiding behind a market with his eyes peeking out in fear. Natsu spat out a small flame as it burned the market stand, revealing the old man who was holding the golden tear orb.

"There it is. Alright old man. Hand it over. Before you say no, I'm pretty sure you don't want to be burned into tiny little pieces like the others back there. So be smart." Natsu said walking towards the old man.

"Alright! I'll give it! Just please leave me alone!" The old man put out the orb as Natsu grabbed it from his hands. He looked at, spinning it around.

"That's good. Mission accomplished. Now there's only one thing left to do." He walked back into the train station, seeing Erza get up slowly.

"Not so fast red. You won't be changing clothes this time. You're coming with me. It's my lucky catch." Natsu smirked as he grabbed Erza by her hair, making her scream. He then whistled, calling for his dire wolf. It flew down towards Natsu as he jumped onto its back while holding Erza's hair still.

"This should be interesting. You're in for a treat red."

At the Guild

"Erza has been captured?!" Makarov said with shock in his eyes. Everyone else in the guild was surprised as well. Erza who was one of the strongest was captured. "This cannot stand. The Void kingdom don't know what's coming to them. All of you! Drop your plans for today! We're going to rescue Erza, by storming their kingdom!"

"Alright! A good old crusade!" A boy named Gray Fullbuster jumped off the table cracking his knuckles. A girl named Levy noticed his clothes were off.

"At least don't go there without clothes." Levy said looking away.

"Don't worry Erza. We're coming. Just hold on." Makarov said.
