"So this is the town of Magnolia, where Fairy Tail is located?" Natsu muttered. His journey had been an interesting one. After the death of Igneel, Natsu had snuck into a village and taken a map of the country so he could find his way around. While stealing would not be his first choice, he had never had a reason to possess money before and so it was a necessary sacrifice.
As he walked down and through the town, he pondered the location of the Fairy Tail guild hall. Then he saw it, a large white building with a red shingled roof and pillars in the front. There were six windows on the bottom floor, three on each side of a leaf shaped door, nine on the second floor, and then four visible ones on the top floor. There were three flags; a green one with a white symbol of a heart, the one on the right was blue with a white shield and finally the orange one with the white Fairy Tail symbol on the front. The last two features of this building were the gold Onion Dome (yes that is the name) with a white flag on it and the intricate, wooden guild sign.
"So this is Fairy Tail?" Natsu questioned, "At first glance, it doesn't seem like anything special. I can smell the scent of alcohol and various people but the magic levels of those people do not compare to mine for the most part. I can sense a few, however, that are quite large."
He walked forward slowly, taking a deep breath and preparing to open the door. The large, leaf shaped doors slowly swung open to the most reckless scene he had ever observed (which is saying something considering he grew up in a forest surrounded by wind animals). There were broken tables, chairs, and bottles laying on the floor and it appeared that more would be broken soon. Looking around he quickly observed the people that were inside the guild.
A girl with scarlet hair styled in a bob cut, brown eyes, a collared shirt, and, oddly enough, plate armor and a sword to top off the strange outfit was fighting with a white haired girl dressed in gothic attire, a choker, a purple bow in her hair, and deep blue eyes. When he looked to the right he saw a boy with dark blue, almost black, hair, no shirt, blue pants, and brown shoes as well as a fearful looking white haired boy dressed in what looked like a blue tuxedo with a red bow tie. To the left you could see a girl with short, white hair, pink dress with a red collar that reaches down to her knees, and the same deep blue eyes as the gothic girl from before. Sitting next to her was a girl with brown hair reaching down to the middle of her back, brown eyes and a dress. At the bar he could see a guy with a punk hairdo smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer with a blue haired man. Also, there was an orange haired man with a tattered travel cloak and a man with a white shirt, red-orange hair, and a witch's hat. Up on the second floor Natsu could see a blonde teenager, whom he immediately noticed was a dragon slayer, and an old man with the second largest magical aura in the room.
'Strange', he thought as he walked forward, 'The orange haired man is the strongest but not by much, the old man must be the master of the guild based on his age and power level. The young blonde shares his scent so I'm guessing that they are related but due to age I'd say grandfather and grandson. I can tell the brown haired girl is the daughter of orange haired man based on their scent and the fact that she keeps looking over at him. I smell blood on the red haired girl, she has killed before but she, the orange haired man, and the guild master are the only ones. The red haired pre-teen, white haired pre-teen and the blue haired boy have higher than average power for their ages but it still pales in comparison to mine or Igneel's level. I guess I should stop the girls before I get hit.'
As he walked forward, the two battling girls ran toward each other not even noticing somebody had entered their fight zone. They only noticed once their punches were caught by a boy with salmon colored hair. Suddenly silence filled the guild hall, everyone staring at the boy who got in between the demon and the knight. He looked over at the red head then the blue eyed girl and began to speak.
"Pathetic… You two have above average magical power but your form is not good and you fight like drunken boxers or street brawlers rather than warriors. Allow me to show you how a real warrior fights." Natsu says as he pulls the two girls forward by their hands only to let go and slam them head first into the ground. He shakes his head and walks towards the bar, oblivious or uncaring of the stares that follow his movements. The boy looks at the master and says "Judging by your magical power and age, I am guessing that you are the master of this guild."
The old man looks at the young boy who had effortlessly dispatched two of his strongest, upcoming wizards. He responds "Yes, I am indeed. I am Makarov Dreyar. Tell me, why did you decide to take down two of my children?"
"Because they were bothering me and the others with their pathetic school yard brawl. On another note, I also decided to show them their current place in this world to let them know that they have a long way to go before they reach the top on any mountain." Natsu replies.
"A good lesson to learn and the younger you learn it the stronger that you will become. I am Gildarts Clive by the way." The orange haired man states, "The smoking one is Wakaba, the blue haired one is Macao, and the last one at this bar is Reedus."
"Greetings. My father told me of this guild before he passed away. He stated that it was full of strong mages and that could be my new family. However, from my observations, this place has few mages of actual power. You and Mr. Clive are two along with your grandson are the only mages that are of note here." Natsu states bluntly.
"From your magic power I can tell that you were raised to be quite strong. Your father must've trained you well. However, it appears he failed to tell you that power is not the only important factor in battle. You must count experience and heart before a victor can be determined." Makarov stated.
"Perhaps you are correct. Regardless, my father was firm in his belief that I would grow well here, so I would like join this guild and see if his belief was founded or not if you would allow it." Natsu asks.
"We're always looking for new members, so we'd be happy to have you here with us. Do fairies really have tails? Do they even exist…? Like them this place is an eternal mystery… A never ending adventure. That's what it means to be a Fairy Tail wizard." Makarov stated. "Now, we have a new member so… LET'S CELEBRATE, FAIRY TAIL STYLE!"
So began the party of the week, with everyone drinking, celebrating, and brawling like crazy. Natsu decided not to join in the crazy festivities but did look on amusement. He simply watched the partying until a small, white haired girl came up to him and said "Hi! I'm Lisanna."
He looked down at her to see a huge smile on her face, her eyes shining with happiness at the opportunity to talk to somebody new. He saw she was waiting for a response so he said, "Hello, I am Natsu Dragneel."
"How in the hell did you beat Erza and Mira?!" the blue haired boy from before comes up and demands.
"Gray! Don't be so rude, introduce yourself before you start demanding things!" the brown haired girl states.
"But Cana I-"Gray started.
"Cana is right Gray; you should be nicer to the new guy. Especially since he beat both Erza and Mira." The white haired boy stated. "I am Elfman Strauss by the way."
"Fine…." Gray grumbled.
Then, before the discussion could continue any further, the aforementioned Erza and Mirajane woke up and they were both furious. They looked around for the guy that hit them and when they saw him by Mira's sister, they decided to come over with a full amount of feminine fury.
"Hey! Who the fuck do you think you are hitting me and the tin can then talking to my sister?!" Mira yelled.
"I am Natsu Dragneel, prince of the fire dragons." Natsu stated calmly.
"Prince of the fire dragons? What the hell is with that lie? If you are going to lie to make yourself sound cool then you should at least try to make it believable." Mire scoffed.
"I am not lying, my father was the fire dragon king and therefor I am the fire dragon prince." Natsu stated calmly "Besides, someone weaker than me shouldn't spend their time calling me a liar. Remember this lesson well, history is written by the victor. The weak have no right to insult the honor of the strong."
"Are you calling me weak?!" Mira screamed.
"Yes" He replied calmly.
"Alright then I want a fight!" Mira yelled.
"I hate to agree with the slut, but I wish for that as well." Erza stated.
"Fine, I shall indulge the two of you. But we should go outside in order to avoid destroying the guild hall." He says "Master, it appears I already have two challengers show I will face them out back if you'd be so kind as to referee."
"Fine, might as well take bets while we're at it." He replied.
They then walked out of the guild and proceeded to the training field at the back of the building. Most of the guild were placing their bets with Mira or Erza to be the one to bring him down, thinking that the new guy had gotten his previous victory because he took them by surprise. However Gildarts was thinking that there was a lot more to this boy than people are seeing.
"I will go first!" Mira yelled.
"Are you sure that you don't want to do a two on one match?" Natsu questioned.
"Stop insulting me! Take Over: Satan Soul!" She shouted before rushing forward to attack Natsu. She swings at with her right claw, followed by an uppercut with her left, and finishing the combination with a flying spin kick to the head. Natsu dodged all of these with his arms crossed and using minimal movement. Mirajane jumped back and shouted
"Evil Explosion!" Mira shouted launching a beam of dark energy at Natsu who dodges by leaping into the air and using a combination of the Gale dragon slayer magic and Sky dragon slayer magic to take flight.
"I have a good read on your power now. Perhaps I misjudged you, you have potential to be strong but right now you simply have no hope of beating me. Especially since I possess the best counter to your magic possible." Natsu stated as his opinion of the girl started to rise little by little. "Before I do this I ask that the guild keep what they are about to see a secret or else."
"Are you threatening us punk?" Gray yells from the sidelines.
"Yes, I am. I do not want the attention that what I am about to show will bring so we can call this a sign of trust between my new guild and me." Natsu stated as he started to suck in a large amount of air. "White Dragon's ROAR!"
A large beam of white light shot out of his mouth like a laser heading straight for Mirajane. She was so stunned by both the power and speed of the attack that she did not have time to dodge it. Inevitably she was hit square in the chest and consumed in the resulting explosion. When the dust cleared, Mira was on the ground with burn marks and dust covering her. She was clearly unconscious and this fight was over.
"I believe that is one down and one to go." Natsu stated as he walked over and lifted up the unconscious girl in order to place her on the sidelines so he could continue the match.
"How did you do that?" Makarov asked.
"As I stated before, I want this to remain a guild secret but I will tell you. My father taught me fire dragon slayer magic; however he stated that I needed more in order to face the trials ahead of me. So he implanted me with multiple dragon lacrimas in order for me to use multiple elements with ease. I still have to train and perfect the spells, but I can consume those elements now without consequence. The white dragon, also known as holy or light dragon, slaying magic possesses very powerful cleansing properties making it extremely effective against demons and creatures of darkness." Natsu explained.
"What lacrimas do you have infused within you?" Makarov asked.
"I will not answer that. I believe I have given enough personal information considering we just met today." Natsu replied.
"Hey the master asked you a question! Now answer it!" Erza yelled as she pulled out a sword and pointed it at him.
"I do not bow to weaklings nor do I feel the need to be forced to answer that question. If that's not good enough then I'll leave the guild and be on my way." Natsu stated calmly.
"Enough of that, I was about to say that was fair hahahaha" Makarov stated, "We are all entitled to our secrets especially when it comes to the nuances of our magic."
After that, Natsu and Erza enter the ring and face off with each other.
"I'm going to make you pay for your disrespect!" Erza yelled. Natsu then appeared directly behind her before bending down and whispering in her ear
"You have a quite the holier than thou attitude for someone who was a slave."
Her heart stopped at hearing that statement. 'How did he know?'
"How?" she stated, unable to say anything else.
"I saw the markings on your wrists. They are so faint that I believe without my enhanced senses I wouldn't have seen them, which combined with the armor that you wear even in the presence of friends shows that you do not trust people which indicates past trauma. I sense something off about your right eye, so my guess is that it's artificial or it has a curse but I cannot tell which. Finally, the way you deviate to authority automatically like it has been ingrained into you makes it obvious to me." Natsu whispered, "However I will give you one chance to take me down so hit me with your best attack."
Erza jumped away and requipped into her heaven's wheel armor.
"Blumenblatt!" She yelled.
Natsu proceeded to dodge all of her swords, dancing around the field like a skater gliding on ice. He then grabbed one of the swords and proceeded to eat it. Erza just stared in shock as he ate one of her swords before she was hit with a breath attack and collapsed onto the ground.
"I think that I will go find a place to live now, have a nice day." Natsu says as he walks away from the battlefield.
"Things just got a lot more interesting" Gildarts states as Makarov nods.
"Indeed."

Ideas for Pairings:
Alzack and Bisca (Duh)
Gajeel and Levy (Not even stepping on this one cuz I love it haha)
Evergreen and Elfman (Makes me laugh so I'm keeping it)
Laxus and Cana
Cobra and Kianana
Jellal and Milianna
Natsu Harem:
Fire Dragon Slayer= Lisanna Strauss (Because I want her over Lucy and she is his first friend in cannon)
Purgatory Dragon Slayer=Mattan Ginger (Never seen her used before lol)àbecause it is different and she uses fire
Cavern Dragon Slayer= Brandish Mu àBecause she is called the nation destroyer so I thought it went with her ability to change the land even if that's not exactly what she uses
Iron Dragon Slayer= Erza ScarletàBecause of her armor, duh
Shadow Dragon Slayer= Kagura Mikazuchi(I love this pairing anyway)àhonestly because I watch one piece and the yami yami no mi reference made me happy
Light Dragon Slayer= Yukino Aguria (This would honestly be a good cannon pairing)à I picked her for this because she is a celestial spirit user
Sea Serpent Dragon Slayer= Ultear Milkovich (I love this pairing and this character so much and what they did to her made me sad) àmy reasoning behind this is because of when she talked about dying with her mother when she was in the ocean, the scene was touching.
Sky Dragon Slayer= Sorano Aguriaàbecause she wants to escape and fly like an angel. I liked the correlation.
Gale Dragon Slayer = Meredy Milkovich àI honestly enjoy the pairing (post time skip) and that's it actually haha
Lightning Dragon Slayer= = Chelia Blendy (again different) goes well with her sky god slayer magic
Poison Dragon Slayer = Mirajane Strauss à another pairing I like anyway but this is from when she ingested the poison while fighting the hungry wolf knights
Jade Dragon Slayer = Hisui E. FioreàAgain, Like the pairing and if you don't get the reference then rewatch the end of the dragon arc
Apocalypse Dragon Slayer = Minerva Orlando àIt suits her personality and I like the pairing
