Two years later
Naruto was walking through Magnolia town headed for the guild for his next assignment so he could keep Lisanna off his mind. He had been devastated when he had learned that he would never see her again, but that didn't stop him from living like each day was his last. He had just walked into the guild when he suddenly ran into Natsu. "Oh hey Natsu how you been bro?" Naruto asked him.
Natsu gave a shrug to the older blonde dragon slayer "Uh good. Been doing good. Listen Naruto I'm going on a mission down at the harbor to catch a guy that's been capturing girls and selling them as slaves, and I was wonder- Naruto interrupted him.
"Done... now let's go since he may leave at any given moment Natsu." he said getting a smile from his friend.
Racing down the sidewalk away from the guild they slowed down as they reached the town. "So Natsu mind telling me what's with this guy trying to sell people as slaves?" Naruto asked with Cyclone flying beside him keeping pace alongside Happy.
"Well we don't have much information except the guy goes by my old nickname. You remember it don't you cuz?" Natsu asked his fellow dragon slayer.
"Yeah I remember it... Salamander. What about it?" Naruto asked the pinked haired teenager.
"Well apparently he's impersonating me in order to lure these girls in so he can capture them. Hey do you think that he might have an idea where Igneel or uncle is at?" Natsu asked the blond.
"Don't know. But what I do know for sure is that I'm... no we're going to stop this guy even if we have no other choice but to erase his existence from this earth." Naruto said and Natsu nodded in agreement. Yes it may have been looked down on to kill in Fairy Tail if there was no other option then one would have to do what they must do no matter the consequences that would come to befall them later on.
"Well we can't fool around much longer where did this information say that this guy would be doing his business at." Naruto said to Natsu.
"Oh uh port of Hargeon... Why?" Natsu asked back
. "Really that's not that far let's go." Cyclone said interrupting Naruto before he could speak.
"Aye." Happy agreed and the two flying cat's took off and were quickly followed by the two slayer brothers.
Location: Port town of Hargeon
The two dragon slayers quickly ran to the train station where they caught a train that would take thirty minutes to reach the town of Hargeon. Although the two dragon slayers hated the idea of taking a train, more so in the form of Natsu, they knew that it would be faster. When they had reached the town of Hargeon Cyclone and Happy ran up to their sick looking friends to tell them they had arrived.
"Naruto. Natsu we've made it to the town of Hargeon. You got to get up." Happy said to the two dragon slayers. Standing on shaky legs Naruto wrapped one of Natsu's arms around his neck as the conductor came in.
"Uh are you guys alright?" he asked. Cyclone looked to the man before he answered for the dragon slayers. "It's alright sir, this happens all the time." Cyclone said.
"Yeah this happens every time they travel like this." Happy said.
"N-never again." Natsu said as the two dragon slayers stepped out of the room and then off the train followed by Naruto and their flying cats. "I'll never ride on a stupid train again." Natsu complained as they walked away feeling better.
"Yeah I hear you on that one, but even you know that we will eventually climb on another train so come on let's get of this death trap. God I hate trains." Naruto said as he got his bearings to think straight as the train departed.
"Good riddance." Natsu grumbled while Naruto nodded in agreement.
"If the information we were given was correct we should find that Salamander guy around here somewhere." Happy said.
"Well we won't find him standing around here all day so let's go." Cyclone said as he and Happy flew off to search for him
. Naruto turned to Natsu before he spoke "We should split up like Happy and Cyclone. Probably find this guy faster that way." Naruto told Natsu who nodded in agreement.
"Yeah I'll head this way" Natsu said pointing to a random street, "And you can go where the wind blows like you normally do." Natsu told the blond.
Naruto nodded in agreement before he responded. "We'll meet up in an hour at that one restaurant we like to go to so you can stuff that fat face of yours and we can feed the cats as well." Naruto said as Natsu ignored a certain part of the comment and started to walk down the road he pointed at while Naruto headed in a random direction. Looking around Naruto saw nothing out of the ordinary that seemed suspicious. He had met up with Cyclone and happy and told Happy the direction Natsu went and the blue cat sped off to find his friend.
Naruto soon passed by a magic shop that a young blonde girl was walking out of grumbling and complaining. "I can't believe he only knocked off only a thousand jewels. Old geezer must be blind or something." the female blonde complained, "So much for frigging feminine charms." she continued before she bumped into someone and nearly fell down. Luckily she was caught before that could happen.
"Whoa careful don't want to hurt yourself now do you?" a deep voice asked as she looked up. She could feel herself blushing at what she saw. Looking at his outfit she saw he wore a pair of dark blue pants, over which hangs a blue cloth that covers him from his stomach to his knees and which he secures with a black leather belt around his waist. He complements this look by wearing a white long-sleeved shirt kept open at the torso and black arm guards that cover his left forearm with bandages on his right wrist. He also wears finger-less gloves with metal plates on the backhand.
"T-thanks." Lucy said to the stranger.
"No problem." he responded.
"I-I'm Lucy." she introduced herself to the amazing hunk of a man that held her in his arms.
He gave a nod to his fellow blonde "Names Naruto nice to meet you as well Lucy." he introduced himself to her. Releasing her so she could stand on her own Naruto bid her farewell, but before either could leave they heard cheering.
"What the..." Naruto said as the two walked over to the overpass of a bridge to see a large crowd gathered at a building.
Suddenly two young women ran by yelling, "Are you serious he's really here." one shouted with the other one right behind her shouted, "Yeah it the Salamander." Naruto looked at Lucy who had a confused look on her face.
"Ok that's weird." Lucy said.
Meanwhile Naruto thought to himself "Checkmate... Now to see what this fake Salamander is all about." but what he said aloud as, "I'll say. Natsu hardly ever uses his nickname to draw in a crowd. Besides the only one I know to really go by that is Igneel... and he's gone." Naruto said.
Lucy suddenly started to creep him out when stars suddenly appeared in her eyes. "Salamander. As in the wizard that uses Fire magic who you can't even buy as a figurine in stores, oh wow." Lucy said as Naruto slapped a hand to his face. It as kinda hard to keep ones cool if they had to appease a fan-girl.
They set off to the crowd and Naruto encountered Natsu along the way. "Oi Natsu over here." Naruto called out to his cousin.
Natsu ran over to Naruto with a questioning look in his eye's. "Hey Naruto you don't think that this Salamander character is Igneel do you?" Natsu asked as he ran over to him.
Naruto gave a flat look to the pink haired teen "Really Natsu? You think a sixteen story tall dragon, the fire dragon king of the fire dragons at that, is going to suddenly show up in this dump of a town?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah Naruto's right. If a dragon were to suddenly appear people would be running away... not crowding him." Cyclone said as he looked to the growing crowd of women.
"Cyclones right. Maybe this is that guy that's going by the alias Salamander." Happy said, and once again Naruto slapped a hand to his forehead while he was thinking, 'I'm surrounded by morons. Not to mention I'm basically related to one of these said morons. Why me?' Naruto silently whined to himself.
"Oi Naruto who was that blonde chick you were with?" Cyclone asked. Naruto looked around and saw her in the crowd with hearts in her eyes. sighing Naruto walked over to the crowd and sensed that the magic was a type of charming magic and immediately broke it on Lucy causing her to look around in confusion.
"H-huh what happened?" Lucy asked. Naruto looked to Salamander before sighing.
Before he could do anything Natsu walked into the crowd before he looked at the man and asked, "Who the fuck are you?" like an idiot. This caused the women to rage where they then beat him up all the while saying how great this Salamander was.
"Now now that's enough my lovelies let him go. I'm sure he didn't mean anything rude by it." the man said. The women walked away from a beaten and bruised Natsu while the man walked up to him with a piece of paper and wrote something on it.
"Here kid, it's my signature. Now you can tell your friends all about me." he said handing it to Natsu
"Uh no thanks I'm good... sorry." Natsu told the man, and once again the women were about to go into a rage. Thirty seconds later Natsu was lying in a crater steaming and moaning in pain. Naruto couldn't help but smirk at his cousins misfortune from the species known as the human female.
Walking over to his cousin he looked down at him before looking back at the man who was now once again surrounded again by the women. "I'm having a little get together on my yacht tonight ladies. And your all invited, and remember to dress in your best for me." the man said as he snapped his fingers and flew away while the women cheered at him.
"Well glad he left that was just weird." Naruto said.
"Yeah I know that was just creepy." Naruto heard and turned and saw Lucy standing behind him. "Thanks for your help." she told Naruto who just nodded at her. Naruto helped Natsu up and begun to walk away, but motioned for Lucy to follow. Walking the streets for a bit Naruto found the place he was looking for and walked through the doors with a now mobile Natsu and Lucy with the two talking cats behind her.
Sitting at a table Naruto ordered a large meal for his cousin while he ordered some noodles and chicken shish kabobs. Lucy didn't want anything so she decided to sit next to Naruto and the cats sat next to Natsu on the table. When the order arrived Natsu dug in like a pig causing food to start flying which in turn caused Naruto to sigh in annoyance at his cousins antics. Happy was slowly munching away at a fish while Cyclone was gnawing on a bunch of shrimp and crab
"So Lucy can you explain what why you were in the crowd so suddenly?" Naruto asked as he savored his food unlike Natsu who was eating as if he hadn't eaten in days.
Lucy perked up "Oh uh that's because he was using some charm I fell for. I know they're illegal, but why was he using one that managed to catch me. I didn't even know the guy for lords sake, and besides they are only supposed to work on people one knows." the girl said as the two talked ignoring Natsu's eating habit's for the time being.
"Yeah your right about that. He probably went through some hard spending money to acquire it so he could control the women of the town. Besides if there was a reason why we're here it's to catch a criminal." Naruto said.
Lucy looked to her fellow blond and spoke "I would have probably been all over him if it wasn't for you breaking he charm he had over me. Thanks for that again." Lucy said.
He gave her a shrug "No problem, think of it as a way of dragging you around for no reason." Naruto told her as he finished his meal, and wiped his mouth.
Lucy waved it off "I know I may not look like it, but I'm a wizard too." Lucy said.
Naruto perked up a bit at this "Really?" Naruto said as a statement more than a question.
"Yeah but I haven't joined a guild or anything as of yet." Lucy said as a piece of fish flew over her head.
"Huh." Naruto said.
Lucy nodded her head "Yeah but the good thing is that there are tons of guilds all over Fiore. I've heard it's really really difficult to get into some of the more popular ones, and the guild I want to be a part of is one of the most popular ones of all." Lucy spoke getting a dreamy look in her eyes.
"Is that so?" Naruto said with a blank facade. He had a feeing of which guild she wanted to join, but he wouldn't say anything.
"Yeah they're the greatest and are always featured in the Sorcerers Weekly magazine" Lucy said as she started to gain stars in her eye's before talking more. "Oh if I could manage to convince them to let me join I think I would just die from happiness." Lucy said in sheer excitement.
Cyclone looked up from his meal at Lucy. "Wow you sure do talk a lot for a young woman, but I guess that is to be expected." the black cat said to her while mumbling out the last part of his statement.
"Oh I'm sorry I forgot you guys were here looking for a criminal of some kind right." Lucy said.
"Yeah we are. Natsu here thought it was Igneel for a bit when he heard rumor of this Salamander character was here." Happy said.
"And as always he dragged me along for the ride." Naruto said with a sigh.
"Yeah Naruto mentioned this Igneel before. Can you explain who exactly Igneel is." Lucy asked.
"Heh bet that pompous fake Salamander can't even breathe fire like a true dragon." Natsu said which gained a curious look from Lucy.
"So your friend Igneel looks like a dragon?" Lucy asked.
Naruto shook his head negative. "No you've got it all backwards." Naruto told her.
Natsu gave a snort, "Yeah Naruto's right he doesn't look like one. After all he is one." Natsu said shocking her.
Composing herself so as to not look like a fool Lucy looked at Natsu. "Now why would a dragon, which I might add are quite huge, be here in this dump of a town? It's totally ridiculous, and that would be almost impossible since the town would shut down with it coming here. So seriously why would a dragon come to this dump?" Lucy asked him.
Naruto spoke up for his cousin. "While I thank you for pointing out hat I have been tyring to tell him for quite some time I think it would be best if I explaned. You see hen we were little our teacher's slash parents disappeared and because of that because Natsu is in denial. I mean yeah sure he is the king of fire dragons" Naruto then smirked at this, "But Igneel ain't got nothing on Raiun that's a fact." Naruto said
"So why was Natsu in denial? And who the heck is this Raiun, another dragon or something?" Lucy asked.
Naruto nodded his head "It's because every time there's a rumor that mentions Salamander Natsu tracks it down. And Raiun is a dragon, yes, but the difference is that many would consider him a much bigger threat than Acnologia the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse." Naruto said.
Naruto looked at her facial expression and saw she was getting agitated at the constant talk of dragon's "Ok seriously what is it with you two and dragon's and what dragon could ever hope to match a dragon with a title like dragon of the apocalypse?" Lucy asked the two men.
Natsu just laughed a little at her. "Lucy you obviously never heard of the Primordial Dragon's Rebirth have you?" Natsu asked when he calmed down and Lucy just shook her head negative.
Naruto looked to her and spoke with another sigh. It seemed he would be doing that a lot lately. "Once every thousand years there is a dragon born to rule over dragon kind. Raiun just so happened to be the dragon born to rule over them." Naruto explained to her quickly.
Looking at her in the eye's he continued his explanation "Raiun has the ability to use the five basic dragon elements as well as a few tier two elements such as Lava and Iron with a singular tier three element called Dust which is basically the pinnacle of all magic as it erases everything in a flash of light on a molecular level that not even the best mages could ever hope to fight against since they would be dead in a matter of seconds. It's basically a super powerful dragon breath attack that erases everything that it touches until it's literally dust in the wind." Naruto told her shocking her more.
After she calmed down from what she was told they talked for another ten minutes ignoring Natsu's eating habit's as food was flying through the air. After the ten minutes had passed Lucy stood up to leave. "Well thanks again for helping me out with that creep, I don't know what could have happened if you hadn't been there to help me out of that mess." Lucy told Naruto as she moved past the blond dragon slayer and left.
Naruto sat back down after the female blonde had left and waited on Natsu to finish eating. As he looked at the large stack of plates that was steadily growing Naruto could actually feel his wallet getting lighter with each dish that Natsu ate, which made him cry inwardly at the Pink haired mans eating habit's. When Natsu had finally finished eating the bill nearly made Naruto pass out in shock. It had literally cost him half of his money to feed the pink haired dragon slayer so he could satisfy his stomach with his cousins money from the last job he took.
Later that night Naruto, Natsu and the cats were on a bridge overlooking the harbor where they saw the yacht anchored in the center. "Ok we all know what needs to be done so let's do it with the least damage as we can do as soon as possible. I have a feeling that if we don't act soon we'll be letting a lot of innocent women get hurt, and that is something that I don't want to happen." Naruto said as Cyclone lifted him up with his tail while Natsu was lifted up by Happy.
"Ok boy's get your game face on it's time to crash a thugs party." Cyclone said as they released the two dragon slayers onto the roof of the captains cabin and crashed through to see they were right on the money as they saw a scared Lucy, and some thugs holding unconscious women on their shoulders. "Sup" Naruto said. Yes he could feel the effects of the moving yacht and wanted to curl up in a ball from the queasiness, but right now there was a job to do.
"Get them." the fake Salamander orders his goons as they placed the unconscious women on the floor. Naruto looks at Natsu and Nods. Seeing Naruto giving him the go ahead signal Natsu ignites his hands on fire causing the goons to stop.
"Whats the matter... Salamander got your tongue." Natsu taunted them. Naruto then motions for Cyclone to get Lucy out of the way, and so the black cat grabs the woman and flies away.
"Damn them. I can't have them report this to the Magic council." the fake Salamander says. "Prominence Whip" Salamander calls out summoning forth his Magic seal in front of him with an arched movement of his right arm. From it, a number of fiery, curved purple beams are fired towards the flying cat and Lucy, with each beam tracking them down and moving to strike them separately from the others. On contact, the beams then generate a large explosion, similar in appearance to purple fireworks that light up the nighttime sky with each detonation.
The good thing was that Cyclone managed to impress the fake by dodging all of the whips... the bad thing was that he lost his wing transformation soon after which caused the two to fall in the sea. Naruto knew that Cyclone would be alright so for the moment he had to focus. That is until the tidal wave appeared out of nowhere and swept the ship up and tossed it onto the beach.
After Naruto managed to clear his head of the sudden attack of motion sickness he stood up to see Lucy arguing with a mermaid which soon disappeared. Naruto then looked to the fake Salamander and saw Natsu with a mad look on his face. Stepping up next to his cousin Naruto spoke. "You know it's illegal to impersonate actual members of the Fairy Tail guild right?" Naruto asked.
Salamander looked to the twin dragon slayers with a sneer on his face. "Yeah so who cares. Whats it matter to you anyways?" he asked them. Natsu narrowed his eyes at them man.
Naruto sighed as the man asked that. "Well let us get a closer look at you then." Natsu said as he removed his jacket while Naruto removed his own jacket as well. "
Who cares about what I look like go get them and bring me their heads men." the man ordered and his men obeyed.
"Naruto! Natsu watch out." Lucy screamed. Cyclone looked at her and picked up a fish and handed it to Happy. "I think we forgot to mention this earlier, but uh they're wizards too." the cat said.
"What?" Lucy said.
Meanwhile Natsu threw his vest away in the wind as he growled at them. Naruto looked at them with a small glare on his face. "Well that's funny because we've never seen you before at the guild." Naruto said. This caused them all to stop in their spots as they looked at the twin markings of the Fairy tail wizards.
"T-those mark. So they're real Fairy Tail wizards." one of the thugs muttered.
"Yeah that shows that these guys are the real deal." another one said.
"We're in big trouble here Bora." a third thug said.
"Don't call me that you idiot." the now revealed Bora yelled at them.
Cyclone sighed at this little revelation. "I've heard of him. He's Bora the Prominent. Rumor has it he was kicked out of his old guild for bad behavior." Cyclone said.
"Aye, stingy little prick too if you ask me." Happy said in agreement.
Naruto looked at Bora with Narrowed eye's before he spoke in a voice that was clearly annoyed "I have no idea what your trying to pull Bora, and I don't care if your a good guy, bad guy, or just a real dumb ass but I won't stand for it when you put my cousins nickname through the mud." Naruto told him with his glare going full force.
"Yeah and we won't let you dirty the Fairy Tail guilds name either ya bastards." Natsu told them angrily.
Oh yeah just what do you plan to do about that huh?" Bora yelled to them before his seal appeared before him once gain. "It doesn't matter any ways so take this "Prominence Typhoon" Bora yelled. Bora then stretches his arms wide open to his sides. This prompts his Magic Seal that appeared before his chest to glow brightly, from which a spiraling column of fire is sent flying towards the two dragon slayers.
The attack explodes with the two dragon slayers un-moving as the attack lands on them.
"Naruto! Natsu!" Lucy yells in worry as she tries to run to them, but the cats appear in front of her with wings spread.
Bora just smirks before he starts gloating "Just goes to show the bigger the talk the easier the fall. Let's go the girls got away, and the army most likely is on the way." Bora tells his thugs as they begin to walk away,
Before they hear something that shocks them. "Blegh are you sure these are real flames they taste like bag cheese." the voice of Natsu says from inside the purple flames. Then the sound of Naruto's laugh comes to them as well sounding unhurt or anything. As Natsu finishes eating the flames Naruto and Natsu could be seen where they were standing before the purple fire made contact with the ship.
"Thanks for the grub mister poser, but now I've got a fire in my belly that's outta control. I'm pretty sure Naruto is rearing to go as well even if he doesn't show it as well as I can." Natsu says as the two walk forward while Bora and his men take a step back in shock.
One thug just looks at the two men in fright before he yells out "Whats going on here? Just who are these guys?" in fear.
Lucy just look at the two in shock. Seeing this Happy speaks to her in a factual tone "Fire magic won't work on Natsu and even more so on Naruto." Happy explains to the shocked blonde.
"I've never seen anything like this before." Lucy says in awe. Stopping at an edge the two men slam their fists together causing seals to appear in front of the two men.
"Let's finish this in one move Natsu we need to report the success of the mission to the old man tomorrow." Naruto tells Natsu.
"Right Naruto. One attack should be enough to kick some ass." Natsu says.
"Together?" Naruto asked Natsu with a wide grin.
Natsu just looks at his cousin with his own million jewel smile on his face, "Together Naruto." Natsu says as the two men take a deep breath for their attack causing their cheeks to puff out widely.
"Karyū no- Natsu begins to say while Naruto speaks something else.
"Hyoryū no- Naruto says as they then breath out a sea of flame and ice.
"Hoko (Fire/Ice Dragon's Roar)" They yell out together. The flames melt the ice while the ice converts the flames in to hot steam. When the giant sea of hot steam reaches them the group has no chance of escape. They scream out in pain as the steam starts to dehydrate them until one by one they fall unconscious. The mixture of fire and ice then explodes leaving a large column of smoke to rise into the air.
The two men stop their combination attack on the group of men and look at the little damage they caused. "I don't get it how were they able to do that?" Lucy asks in shock. "Well that's easy Natsu has the lungs of a dragon that will allow him to breathe fire. Dragon scales to help dissolve the fire, and dragon claws to attack with fire." Happy explains the case for Natsu.
"Well what about Naruto?" Lucy asked the cats.
Cyclone scratches the back of his head as he begins to answer her. "Well it's complicated. Naruto has the same dragon abilities as Natsu when it comes to fire based attacks, but he also has the aility to use the other dragon attacks as well." Cyclone explained as best as he could.
"What do you mean by that? Seriously he just breathed out Ice for god's sake. Ice you hear?" Lucy exclaims.
"Remember when you guys were talking about the Primordial Dragons Rebirth?" Happy asked her and Lucy just nods showing she remembered. "Well he was raised by that dragon. His name is Raiun" Cyclone says.
"Yeah their magic allows them to take on the qualities of a dragon. It's an ancient spell that's hardly ever used anymore." Happy tells her as the two dragon slayers walk over to the two cats and celestial wizard.
"Amazing... but I think they overdid it just a bit." Lucy says.
"Eh compared to most fights this was severely tame." Cyclone says.
"Wow seriously?" Lucy asked and the cats nodded. Naruto then heard something that caused him to stop and turn.
"Uh oh seems we've alerted the army." Naruto said.
Natsu turns in the direction Naruto was looking and paled. "Oh shit we gotta get outta here." Natsu screams as he begins to run.
Naruto gives a humored snort "Well best follow after him let's go Lucy." Naruto say's as they begin running.
"Wait where are we going?" Lucy asks Naruto as the evade the army.
Naruto looks to his fellow blond and grins at her. "Well you kept talking about joining Fairy Tail didn't you so let's go." Naruto told her while they ran down a street.
Lucy smiles at him before she looks ahead, "Alright" Lucy yells in excitement. A new adventure had begun for the wizards of Fairy Tail.
And that is the next revised installment for Son of the primordial dragon well tell me what you think and send a review.
