Zeref Dragneel, older brother of Natsu Dragneel. Since their parents died, the two of them have been looking out for each other. He was looking over the news when he saw Natsu come in the kitchen for breakfast.

"Morning, bro." Natsu said.

"About time you wake up on your own. You've been late for school lately." Zeref said. He didn't seem to be aware of the real reason why Natsu was late.

"Yeah." Natsu said as he grabbed a small breakfast snack. "I better get going. I'm sure you don't want this to be a permanent thing."

"I'm glad to see you're starting to take some responsibility." Zeref said. "Just be careful out there. You know how things have gotten out there."

"Will do." Natsu said as he ran out the door. With all that Zeref has done for Natsu, Natsu figured he should try to help out his brother as much as he could.

Magnolia High

Natsu was able to make it to the high school and was one of the few times he was able to make it on time. He took his seat next to Erza as she was reading the paper.

"Look at this. You're actually on time for once." Erza said.

"Very funny." Natsu said. "What are you doing reading the paper? You're not a fully grown grown-up yet."

"Some of us actually like to know what's going on out in the world." Erza said. "Like here for example. The gang war around Magnolia continues. They're still causing mischief and when they cross paths, its all-out violence between them."

'Yeah. That gang war has been going on for a while.' Natsu thought. 'It's between the same three groups: The Oracion Seis, Grimoire Heart, and Sabertooth. No one even knows what they're fighting over or who even started it.'

"Anyway, enough about that." Erza said as she put the paper down. "You want to come over to my place? We have that history test coming up and you could use the grade."

"Okay." Natsu said and was met with paper ball to the head. He turned his head and saw Laxus threw it.

"Hah. Going over to a girl's house just to study?" Laxus said. "Knowing your luck, Dragneel, that's the only time a girl is ever going to invite you over to her place."

"I wish that gang war would at least give Laxus a bruise or two." Natsu said.

"Just ignore him." Erza said. Easier said than done, but being a secret superhero, Natsu knows better.

…

An Old Church

On the other side of Magnolia was an old, worn down, and abandoned church. This was the hideout for one of the gangs known as the Oracion Seis. It comprised of six people, five men and one girl, each going by a different alias.

"So is this really a good idea?" Racer said, a guy with a blonde Mohawk and red and white track suit.

"Of course it is." Cobra said, a guy with maroon colored hair and wore a white jacket with red pants and black shirt.

"I say if we cause a little mischief, who cares?" Angel said, the only girl with short white hair and a feathered dress.

"Yes and we're score plenty of money. Oh yeah." Hoteye, a guy with long orange hair and an oddly shaped body.

"You're all worrying for nothing. Our leader has it all covered." Midnight said, a guy with black and white hair and wore a black vest with yellow and black-striped pants.

"Exactly." Brain said, a man with white hair and had a tribal look with a skull staff and also the leader.

"I'm just a little cautious because you're talking about striking someone big." Racer said.

"Once we get a hold of some of that technology, there won't be anyone who dares mess with us." Cobra said.

"Yes and it will be enough to prove our worth." Brain said.

…

Erza's House

Erza has a successful mother that owns her own company. With that, Erza is living up in a penthouse. Natsu and Erza rode up the elevator and arrived in the place.

"Mom, are you home?" Erza called out.

"I'm out on the terrace." Natsu and Erza walked out to the terrace and met up with Erza's mother, Irene, dressed in a power suit and working on her laptop and she also looked a lot like Erza. "Natsu! Good to see you again."

"Hi, ma'am." Natsu said.

"I invited him over to do some studying." Erza said.

"Very well." Irene said as she closed up her laptop. "I have some work I need to get done anyway." She left the two and Erza didn't seem so happy.

"Yeah. Just like always." Erza said.

'Erza and her mother do have a tough relationship.' Natsu thought. 'It hasn't been easy for Erza since she doesn't really get to see her own mother. She also lost her father in an accident just like I did, but she doesn't really know much about him. She was so young when it happened. Her mother even went back to her maiden name: Belserion. It must be so hard for her.'

"Okay." Erza said as she snapped out of it and pulled out some books. "Where should we start?" While the two of them were about to get to work, Cobra and Angel were on another building's roof.

"Ready?" Cobra asked.

"Do you even need to ask?" Angel said as she held up some dynamite. She lit up the fuse and threw it as hard as she could. When Natsu and Erza were about to study, the dynamite landed on the terrace.

"What's that?" Erza said, but it didn't take long for them to see what it was.

"Erza, get back!" Natsu said as he pushed her out of the way just before it went off.

"Thanks, but who threw that?" Erza said.

"Erza!" Irene called out as she came back. "What happened? I heard something explode." Before they could answer, they heard some sort of crashing sound. All of them went to check it out and saw Brain with Midnight in her office.

"Hello, Miss Belserion." Brain said.

"I know you. You're the leader of the Oracion Seis gang." Irene said.

"That's right and you're coming with us." Brain said as he grabbed her by the arm.

"I don't think so." Natsu said as he raced over to her and hit Brain across the face.

"Big mistake." Midnight said as he grabbed Natsu's arm and twisted it with a knee to his back and a kick in the gut. Irene stomped on Brain's foot and managed to slip away. She reached for her phone.

"Police, a breaking and entering in my house." Irene said. Natsu managed to kick Midnight back with both his legs, but Midnight spotted something that could be helpful.

"Midnight, let's go." Brain said. Both of them ran out the window and climbed up some ropes they had. Natsu ran towards the window and looked out to see they were able to escape.

"What was that about?" Erza questioned.

"My computer! They must have took it when they were escaping." Irene said.

"Anything important on it?" Natsu asked.

"Practically everything I've ever worked on. They could have access to anything in my company and more." Irene said.

'Not if I have anything to say about it.' Natsu thought.

…

Back Alleys

"Got any twos?" A couple punks were playing a game of cards. Their game was interrupted as Salamander dived down. He kicked one in the head and pinned the other to the wall. "Whoa! I didn't do anything wrong."

"Relax. You're off the hook. The gang known as the Oracion Seis is who I'm looking for. Do you know where they are?" Natsu asked.

"I…I heard they hang out at this old abandon church down my Sycamore Lane." The punk said.

"Thanks." Natsu said as he let the guy go and took off.

…

Oracion Seis' Hideout

Cobra with Midnight were inside and the three of them were talking about what they just scored.

"All that fancy stuff and all you grabbed was a computer?" Cobra said.

"It holds more value than you think." Midnight said.

"Midnight is right." Brain said. "I was hoping to take Miss Belserion herself so that we can gain access to her company's technology, but her computer is the next best thing." While the three of them were talking, Natsu climbed up and looked through the window.

"There they are and so they were after Miss Belserion's work." Natsu said. "I know there are six of these guys, but I won't be able to handle all of them at once. Luckily, they're separated right now." Natsu climbed over to the other side and saw Hoteye was standing guard.

"Money. Money. Money." Hoteye sung. It's all he really seems to think about.

"Money? What about it? Too green for you?" Hoteye turned around and saw Salamander on the wall. Natsu kicked him right in the face to push him back and jumped off the wall to get behind him. He gave him a boost with his fire and tackled Hoteye in the back and slammed him against the wall to knock him out. "Sometimes it's too easy." Back inside, the three were working on the computer while Racer and Angel were hanging on the upper floor.

"Boring." Angel said as she hated waiting around. Natsu climbed up some stairs and came up from behind. He grabbed a hold of her and tossed her down the stairs. She tried to get back up, but Natsu jumped down on her and knocked her out.

"Nighty night, sweet Angel. Well….sweetish." Natsu said. Racer looked down on the others from the balcony and was waiting for them to act out again. "Not fun waiting around?"

"Nope." Racer said, but realized he talked to someone. When he turned around, Natsu gave him a punch to the face. Meanwhile, Brian was working on getting in Irene's computer.

"How does it look?" Cobra asked.

"I'll let you know when I'm in." Brain said. While he was working, Cobra heard some sort of ruckus.

"What's going on up there?" Cobra said as he turned to look at the balcony, but saw Racer getting beaten by Salamander. "Hey!"

"Oh!" Natsu said. "Looks like the one-on-one time is over." Natsu pushed Racer over the balcony and had him hit the floor with him knocked out.

"Who are you?" Cobra said as Natsu jumped down.

"Salamander, the man that acts like a hero." Midnight said.

"You mean a lousy group heard of me? I'm flattered. Wait. What do you mean I 'act' like a hero?" Natsu said. "Also, hand over the computer so I can return it."

"Get him!" Brain ordered and the last two went on the attack. Cobra tried to hit Salamander, but he caught his fist. Cobra grabbed his arm and tossed him over to the seats. Cobra tried to attack him again, but Natsu kicked him in the head a few times. Natsu placed his legs around and tossed him in the air. Then, he kicked him back up and had him crashed into the seats.

"Next." Natsu said as he got up. Midnight tried to attack him, but Natsu jumped over him. Midnight tried to hit him, but Natsu grabbed his arm and smacked him in the gut. Then, he tossed him over to a stain glass window and he was halfway through it when he got knocked out. "A little payback from earlier." Natsu was about to face Brain, but he ended up getting whacked by his staff.

"I knew our paths would cross eventually." Brain said. "All so I can take the chance to crush you." He was about to stomp down on him, but Natsu was able to roll out of the way.

"You'll have to do better than that." Natsu said. He jumped up and tried to kick him, but Brain caught his leg and tossed him to the wall. Brain went to attack him again, but Natsu leaped over him and flipped his coat over his head so he couldn't see. "Are you sure you're the smart one?" Natsu grabbed the staff and pulled it away from him and whacked him with it with him landing on an old piano organ and some of the dust blinded him.

"I can't see." Brain said.

"Time you did face the music." Natsu said. He gave Brain a powerful punch and knocked him into one of the seats and took him down. "That's right. Have a nice seat until the cops come."

…

Irene

Irene was filling out her police report when Natsu came jumping in through her window.

"I believe you're looking for this." Salamander said as he handed her computer.

"My computer! You got it back?" Irene said as she took it.

"Yeah and the thugs who took it are on their way to jail." Natsu said.

"I see. I greatly appreciate this." Irene said and just left things like that.

"Hold on? I know that thing hold all your work, but what could be on there that the Oracion Seis would want it?" Natsu asked, but Irene just gave him an intense stare and that got him to keep quiet. 'She could have just answered I can't know instead of giving me that intense stare she's famous for. Still, why would the Oracion Seis even care about something like that?'

…

Magnolia Prison

All members of the Oracion Seis were locked up with Midnight and Brain in a cell together. Midnight was pretty upset about Salamander getting in their way.

"This ruins everything." Midnight said. "Now, Grimoire Heart and Sabertooth are going to get ahead of us. How are we ever going to reach 'him'?"

"Be patient, my boy." Brain said. "We'll get our chance yet and Salamander will be crushed." Who is it that the Oracion Seis are getting too? This little adventure is only the beginning of what's to come.
