And the reception was okay so I guess that's good too. Anyway, onto the second chapter. Also, heads up this is where the M rating begins for the rest of the fanfic

I do not own Fairy Tail.

Chapter 2: A Dragneel family

Earthland 1852-A

Hargeon, one of Fiore's oldest and most beautiful towns. A town that is renowned both for its fishing and being one of the main ports in the entire country. Although it is hard to find any mages, there are magic shops that can sell you decent items, provided you can pay for them to begin with. And that's the exact kind of situation Lucy Heartfilia had found herself in.

"I am sorry, could you repeat that?" Lucy asked with a look of surprise and horror at how much the Silver Key that she wanted to buy was costing. Just a few days ago, she had managed to run away from her abusive, negligent father with the help of her maids, taking what little she could get with her. Although it hurt to depart from the maids who pretty much raised her after her mother's death, she was determined and snuck away to a life of a mage, already knowing what guild to join. But now she had a bigger problem, her money, or what little amount of money she could get away with, was rapidly decreasing, and sooner than she initially planned.

"20,000 Jewels young lady, either take it or leave my shop!" the shopkeeper was really insistent on the Key's price. Lucy, seeing no other choice, decided to do something drastic.

"Oh come on, how much does it really cost?" she seductively asked while zipping down her top, showing generous amount of her cleavage. The shopkeeper gave her an emotionless stare before he grinned…And a few moments later Lucy was outside, having slammed the door, cursing while kicking a can, holding the key, but now having only a mere fraction of what was left of her money.

"Only 5000 Jewel discount, and he would only give that discount after I gave him a goddamn anal and a blowjob on top of that as well!" she cursed before sighing and looking at her key.

'At least one good thing came out of that, so glad I agreed to a 1000 Jewel discount instead. I am not that desperate to fuck an old man' she thought before seeing females start to run in the same direction with notebooks and pens.

"Fire Dragon King is here!" one brunette fangirl squealed.

"I want his autograph!" another fangirl ran past her.

"Fire Dragon King? A famous mage whose magic you can't find anywhere else?" Lucy saw the other fangirls going to the town center and followed along wanting to see the famous mage, unaware that she was falling into a trap.

Later that night…

A train from Magnolia stopped on Hargeon, and as the staff announced their arrival a blue cat with wings was trying to wake up his partner. Next to him a white cat was being held by a younger looking girl with blue hair.

"Flare, wake up, we are here!" he yelled causing the eighteen-year old young woman with long red hair and eyes of the same color to awaken from her slumber with a groan. She was wearing a short sleeved red shirt with and a pair of black tight form fitting pants, her outfit hugging her curvaceous figure, on her neck was a necklace in the form of a dragon coiling around a flame. Her feet were covered by a pair of black spiked boots. She stretched and sighed, before she smiled at her companion and got off the train. She took a look upon her surroundings, and frowned.

"Wendy, are you sure that Bora and his slavers are here?" She asked the blue haired girl, as Wendy got off the train holding her cat in her arms. She was wearing a white and purple jumper with a pair of blue pants, as well as a necklace that had a blue dragon spreading its wings, her brown eyes looking at the redhead.

"I read from the flyer that his cruise ship was seen heading towards Hargeon, although he might have already left while we were boarding the train to this place." Her response had the redhead closing her eyes and rubbing the spot between her eyes in annoyance, before she looked at her companions.

"Let's scatter and ask the locals around here if they have seen a cruise ship in the docks today, alright?" her suggestion earned her from all three of them. The group then split into two teams, finding locals and asking about any cruise ships that came to Hargeon. Fortunately, they did and it seemed like the ship was still at the docks. Satisfied with their information the four went to head to the docks and saw women ranging from fifteen to twenty years of age running towards the supposed slaver's ship. They were about to stop them, only to stop themselves when they heard what they were saying.

"I can't believe that the Fire Dragon King of Fairy Tail is holding a party on his ship! And that he invited all of us!" one fangirl said to her friends as they boarded the ship. The group of four had unreadable looks on their faces as they heard the conversations, Flare finally breaking the silence.

"Fire Dragon King of Fairy Tail, huh? How about we go check it out guys?" she asked with a smile that they instantly knew had malicious intent and eyes that spoke of madness. Wendy, Happy and Carla only nodded nervously as they immediately felt the killing intent coming from her.

Meanwhile…

Lucy didn't think her day could get any worse. First she spent nearly all of her money on a Silver Key and now after hearing about a famous mage being in town, she went to see him only to fall victim to his Charm Ring, easily being swayed by his words and a chance to join Fairy Tail. And now she was regretting leaving her home, as while it was sad and lonely she would at least be safe and not kidnapped like the rest of the girls by these slavers, her magic made useless due to her Keys being thrown out into the ocean by mage. Nevertheless, she continued to struggle against her bindings, with the males watching and laughing with some outright leering at her figure, their eyes lingering on her gifted chest that was hidden by her tight purple dress.

"Grrr. You won't get away with this, do you hear me? As soon as I get out you are going to regret ever coming here!" She shouted at the supposed mage of Fairy Tail, hoping they would be scared by her bluff. Unfortunately, Bora was experienced in those kinds of things as he laughed before grabbing her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"You don't get it, do you? This is my ship, I own you and every other female here! You are ours to use as we see fit, and I already have plans concerning you." He said, licking his lips as he gazed at her figure, his hand moving from her chin to her chest before he pulled the chest area down exposing her bra clad chest with possibly the biggest breasts that he and his boys had ever seen. Lucy realizing what the man was planning to do to her struggled harder against her bindings-

SLAP

-only to be slapped by the man and was forced to look at his face again, her eyes glaring at him. He only gave her a sickening smile and forced her to look at the direction where the other females were, her eyes widening in horror. Already most of the women who came to the ship were having most of their clothes ripped apart by the crew. Some were already being gangbanged, forced to take multiple members at once, tears in their eyes as they accepted their ultimate fate and gave up trying to flee.

"This is what will happen to you if you do not cooperate with us, so just relax and enjoy your new life as a whore and a slave." He said as he began to take off his cape, the other members taking the females that were not currently being raped to their holding cells, the females struggling and screaming for help, all of which were muffled by gags on their mouths and their shackles. Lucy could only watch with despair as the slavers around her started taking off their clothes, pleading for any god for help. Bora, with his shirt and cape already off grabbed Lucy's dress and ripped it off of her body before doing the same to her underwear, exposing her curves and breasts that had him and his crew salivating at the prospect of raping the blonde. They began to close in around her, with Lucy beginning to lose all hope. Just as the cruise ship was about to leave the docks-

BOOM

An explosion and the sudden rocking of the ship got the attention of everyone, making the crew halt their rape, looking at what caused the explosion with wide eyes filled with fear, and the women having hope in their eyes. On the ship there was a woman whose red hair was literally on fire, her red eyes gave the impression of a demon, which only served to make the crew even more scared of her. Behind her with wings seemingly coming out of her back was a blue haired girl who was glaring at the males.

"So, what is this I hear about you 'owning' these females?" the redhead asked calmly, having asked Wendy to use Troia on her, which was why she wasn't getting motion sick. Her voice unnerved the men since the look in her eyes was disturbing to say the least. Bora, being the bravest and possibly the most suicidal saw her figure and grinned.

"What are you going to do about it girl?" he asked while crossing his arms "Scare me to death with your glare? Please, you and the rest of the females are only useful for trade and stress relief, so why don't you politely come with us like a good whore you no doubt are and you'll have the honor of having my cock in you first. If not, I'll take you and that blue haired girl behind you by force. I'll have fun making you two and this blonde scream my name and beg for more." he said while holding Lucy by her hair, who gave a pleading look that screamed 'HELP ME!' at her. The crew looked at her lust after their leader said those words. Flare stood unfazed by his words, before she began laughing at Bora getting an angry look from him.

"What's so funny? Why don't you share in with the joke for us?" he asked getting Flare to stop and look at him with a mocking look on her face.

"You are joke! You think I'd beg for a loser like you to fuck me? Let me tell you this buddy, you are going to regret ever saying these words about me and my younger sister and trying to sully Fairy Tail's name!" she announced while holding up her right arm, the red guild mark on her forearm seen by everyone. Lucy regaining all of her hope and gazing with wonder at the guild mark.

"Bora! She's the real deal!" one of the slavers shouted to his boss, now scared at the fact that they will be fighting a real mage, and not rune knights like they were used to. Some of the other slavers began to fear for their lives as well. Bora only grew angrier at their cowardice before ordering them to attack.

"Attack her you idiots! She's only one mage, and she's a female anyway, they are weaker than males. Get her!" his words motivated most of the crew as they believed they would win, as did Bora not bothering to know about female mages, since he already thought that females in general were weak and useless. He had no idea that he was going to regret ever thinking like that about them. As the slavers advanced on her, their weapons raised to strike her, their intentions to rape her clear, Flare grinned before jumping away from the ship and turning to Wendy.

"NOW WENDY!" Wendy nodded at her sister before she gathered magic in her mouth.

"Sky Dragon's Roar!" a tornado of wind came out of her mouth shocking everyone on board and toppling cruise making it land on the dock breaking them. Lucy was able to survive thanks to Happy as he held her arms floating above before landing. She immediately found a cloak to cover her body with, her Celestial Spirit Keys ending up being thrown next to her due to Wendy's attack before she looked at the blue cat in shock. Before she could speak however Bora's voice interrupted her line of thought as she saw him on a flaming carpet. He was cursing as he ordered his men to find the girls. They didn't need to as Flare dropped down in front of them, scaring most of the males as she grinned-

"Prominence Typhoon!"

-only for a tornado of fire to engulf her, getting the slavers to cheer and for Lucy to look in horror at her savior's death. That was until-

"Are you that bad at Fire Magic, or are your flames that weak cause they taste horrible." the supposed dead girl's voice brought everyone's attention, as they looked back they saw with wide eyes that the girl was eating the flames. When the flames were gone, Flare looked back at Bora with an unnerving grin.

"Is this the best that you can do? Pathetic! This is how you use Fire Magic" she said with a condescending smirk before she quite literally engulfed herself in hellish flames shocking everyone and bringing fear to the slavers, especially Bora as he saw his attack get literally eaten by her and putting herself on fire. Flare gathered flames in her mouth…

"Hell Fire Dragon's Roar!" a huge torrent of red flames hit everything in its path, Bora unable to dodge had his right arm burned, screaming in pain which was drowned out by the screams of his crew. Despite his injury he was still able to stand on his flame carpet, he brought out his injured hand to see the damage only to look in horror as his right arm had fourth degree burns from his hand to his shoulder, most of the flesh burned off and his fingers practically nonexistent. He looked at his crew and saw that half of them had survived, albeit barely and with fatal third degree burns all over their bodies, what remained of the other half were either burning corpses or charred skeletons. Lucy, who had been spectating saw the result of Flare's attack and immediately covered her mouth. While wanting to see the slavers suffer, eve she thought that this was too much.

"Bora, I remember now. That red hair, those red eyes and that necklace! She's Flare Dragneel, the Crimson Flame of Fairy Tail! And that blue haired girl is Wendy Dragneel, The Sky Maiden!" one of the surviving slavers said to his boss, causing him to look at Flare and Wendy in fear, with Flare giving him an uneasy grin as she pointed her finger at him.

"You are going to pay for your crimes of slavery and rape, as well as using Fairy Tail's name for your own agenda. I am going to burn you to crisp!" She loudly proclaimed getting Bora to widen his eyes in fear at her words, desperate he used his left arm to create a shower of purple flames, all of which Flare took without flinching as the flames did nothing, but annoy her. Bora seeing as it didn't work used up his remaining magic to create a giant purple fireball.

"Prominence Blast!" He launched the fireball at Flare who yawned before she destroyed it with a single punch. Getting closer to him she set her legs on fire "Hell Fire Dragon's Savage Talon!" and kicked Bora away, sending him flying through multiple buildings into the town bell, knocking him out in the process. He fell down on the ground his right arm unusable and his body covered in third degree burns, most of his hair singed away by Flare's flames.

Flare smiled at her work, satisfied that the job was over, as such she didn't notice two slavers sneaking up behind her, their intentions less than moral as they eyed her backside. Just as they were about to attack-

"Sky Dragon's Razor Talon!"

-a wave of wind cut through both of them. Flare having heard the attack immediately jumped away, looking back she saw the goons that were about to attack her, only this time they were cut in half, one was trying to crawl away. She looked at Wendy who had a look of horror on her face, clearly not expecting that kind of outcome as she only wanted to knock them out with her attack, only to underestimate how much power she put into it. Wendy continued to stare at the corpses, their warm intestines still spilling out, before she looked down at her hands and began hyperventilating and was shaking her head. Flare immediately rushed to her sister's side trying to comfort her "It's okay Wendy, it's okay! You did what you had to do. It'll be alright!" her younger sister buried her head in her chest, crying at what she did, Happy and Carla helping Flare comfort Wendy who after a while fell asleep in her sister's arms. Flare sighed sadly knowing what she was going through, she took her sister in her arms and went to find the train to Magnolia.

"Wait!" She turned to look at the blonde who only gave her a sympathetic look "Are you going to Fairy Tail" she asked receiving a wary nod from Flare "I-I w-want to join your guild. I am sorry that I am asking at the wrong time but I didn't want the situation like this to repeat." Her words had earned her a weirded-out look from Flare before she nodded, telling the blonde to get into the train. Lucy nodded, and after finding her suitcase boarded the train after Flare, Happy and Carla entered it. Before she closed the door, she looked back at Hargeon, before she shook her head and closed the door.

The Next Morning.

"Will it get easier?"

Lucy woke up from her nap at the sound of a conversation, getting up she saw the Fairy Tail mages sitting across from her. The redhead was still trying to comfort the younger bluenette. The two cats sleeping next to their respective partners.

"I am afraid it will Wendy. At some point you will be numb to all the death around you, and though you may not like it, you will get used to killing dark mages." Her answer brought little comfort to Wendy who only nodded before she and Flare turned to look at Lucy, who started fidgeting at their gaze. The atmosphere was tense and silent. Flare was the one to break the silence

"So, who are you? What were you doing in Hargeon?" she asked the blonde.

"My name is Lucy. I was looking for the Fairy Tail guild and heard of this famous mage who was said to be from that guild and wanted to know how to get there. Next thing I know, I am being held prisoner before you two came and saved me and the rest of the females. So thank you, umm…" she trailed off, the two girls getting the gesture.

"You've probably heard one of the slavers talk about us, but just to be clear, I am Flare Dragneel and this my younger sister Wendy Dragneel. We were looking for Bora due to a job that we took, guess we came in time, am I right?" she got a nod in response to her question before she decided to change the subject "Anyway, why do you want to join Fairy Tail and what kind of magic do you have?" her question had Lucy widen her eyes before she relaxed.

"I wanted to join the guild after when I was saved by one of the members when I was younger. And I use Celestial Spirit magic, it allows me to summon spirits to fight with me and support me. What magic do you use?" Her answer and question had the girls smiling before they showed their magic with Wendy creating a mini tornado in her hand and Flare conjuring a flame dragon with her hands with Lucy marveling at their magic.

"We have Dragon Slayer Magic. It basically turns us into humanoid dragons. We can coat ourselves in our elements enhancing our fighting capability by doing so, the ability to breathe and eat our respective elements and even enhance our senses. The only downsides are we can't eat the elements that we ourselves create and we have motion sickness, thankfully Wendy has a spell that nullifies it." Lucy was wide eyed as she listened to their explanation. The group heard the train driver announce the next stop which was Magnolia, as they all began to leave the train Lucy looked at her surroundings, noticing the many shops and the market. Her eyes then focused on a large castle like building on the center, the familiar guild mark placed proudly above the doors. Flare and Wendy looked at Lucy before gesturing her to follow them into the guild. Flare placed her hands on the doors of the guild before she shoved forward with her impressive strength.

"We are back everyone!" her loud sentence got her greetings from all the guild members, in particular a brown haired girl wearing a white button shirt with her bikini clad breasts left in the open, a necklace was at her neck that had a dragon coiling around a barrel. Cana Alberona-Dragneel looked at her adopted sisters with a grin as she called her and Wendy over to herself.

"Flare! Wendy! How did your job go?" she asked while drinking wine, only to raise her eyebrow when she saw Wendy looking down and Flare have an exhausted look in her eyes and only responded with "Could have gone better."

"Ah, I see you two are back from your job." A kind voice caught their attention, they turned towards the voice to see a voluptuous red haired, brown eyed woman who was wearing a black short sleeved shirt that was holding back her large breasts with a pair of black pants, over the shirt was a jacket with a zip up, on her back was a staff which she used to enhance her magic. To complete her look was a necklace with a golden chain and a red gem that seemed to have fire hidden in it. This was Irene Dragneel, the First Goddess of Ishgar and the second strongest mage of Fairy Tail.

"Hey, mom. Yeah, we are back from our job, though I do wish it didn't go so bloody." Flare replied in a mirth tone to her adoptive mother who quirked an eyebrow at her daughter's cryptic words. Sitting down next to her daughters she asked what was wrong.

"Wendy ended up accidentally killing two slavers." Irene had a look of understanding on her face before she pulled Wendy to a hug, while Cana took out a barrel and drank its contents in a few gulps offering a mug of alcohol to Flare who thanked her before taking a swig of he shot, her magic burning the alcohol near-instantaneously.

"Oh, I nearly forgot. Everyone," she called out getting the guild's attention as she brought Lucy to the center "this is Lucy. She wants to be a guild member so let's throw a party for a new addition to our family." Flare then brought out a guild stamp before asking Lucy what color she wanted her guild mark "Gold and red, on my right hand, please." Flare put the stamp on her hand and gave Lucy her guild mark officially making her a member of Fairy Tail with the guild cheering for their new member. Soon the guild was back to being chaotic brawls and drinks and tables being broken and thrown around, before a booming voice stopped them.

"Enough you brats! Sit down and listen" the voice of the guild master Makarov Dreyar got the guild to stop their rampage and listening intently as Makarov brought out some papers "These are the latest complaints from the Magic Council, this time they have tripled. Grey, you ended up walking naked into a little girl's birthday party, potentially scarring her and the other kids for life" Grey only crossed his arms dressed only in his boxers and his necklace "Elfman, you can't publically beat up the client for ogling Lisanna, if you want to do it, do it after the mission. Cana you ended up drinking the entire beer supply of a local tavern" Cana simply rolled her eyes before finishing her glass of wine. Makarov brought the last papers "Flare and Wendy, you destroyed the entire port of Hargeon, broke a lot of houses, destroyed the town's bell and ended up killing and hospitalizing most of your targets." His gaze falling to Flare who stared back at him unflinchingly while Wendy only looked down "These complaints bring me a lot of headache you know." At that the guild looked down "But screw the council!" Makarov threw the papers into the air with Flare burning them with her flames. He gave them a speech about the free use of magic and their guild before moving to a more serious matter.

"Remember brats, just because we are a light guild doesn't mean we can't kill when it is absolutely necessary i.e. when it comes to slavers, rapists and other scum of the world. We do what we must to protect the innocent and killing is allowed, so long as you don't lose yourself to bloodlust. So screw whatever protests the damn council has!" the guild cheered on his speech before going back to their own things. Makarov then jumped off the second floor and landed on a seat in front of the bar ordering a mug of beer. He then looked at Irene who was giving Wendy tips on how to use enchantment better, he cleared his throat getting her attention.

"By the way Irene, do you know where Natsu went to? I have a mission that is specifically for him." Flare, Cana and Wendy heard his words and listened in, curious to where their father went to. Irene smiled at him before proceeding to answer his question.

"Natsu went to a SSS class mission yesterday, said that he will be back in a week at most and a few days at least. Must be a pretty important mission if he hasn't finished it yet. What's the mission that you wanted to give him?" she asked while Flare was showing Lucy a mission board in the background with Mira explaining the difference between light and dark guilds with Lucy accepting the invitation to gain more experience, both leaving the guild. Makarov pulled out the job scroll and gave it to Irene who was dumbstruck upon seeing the contents.

"Huh, so King Toma wants a bodyguard for his daughter who is possibly being hunted by a powerful dark guild." She said out loud before looking at Makarov "You don't mind if I take it in my husband's stead? After all, we have no idea when he will get back and I don't think the King has that much time" Makarov stroked his beard in thought before he looked back at her with a grin

"Sure, why not? After all the scroll did say they needed a powerful wizard, but just in case take Cana with you for extra protection." He said while gesturing to Cana who grinned upon the promise of a challenge and a chance to see if her skills improved. Irene nodded before re-quipping the scroll and gesturing Cana to come with her, the girl grinned upon the promise of a challenge and a chance to see if her skills improved. Wendy went to Porlyusica to learn more about healing magic, leaving Makarov with a weird feeling in his gut, feeling like something bad was going to happen in the coming week. He only hoped that he was wrong.

With Lucy and Flare…

The two girls were enroute towards Lucy's first mission, eliminate a group thieves near a town. As they walked remembered how Cana Flare and Wendy sisters and that Irene was their mother, which didn't make sense so she decided to ask Flare about it.

"Flare," said girl turned to Lucy "why did Cana call you her sister, you two don't really look alike and how is The First Goddess of Ishgar your mother?" her question had no malice or mockery, only genuine curiosity. Flare looked surprised before she smiled and answered her question.

"Irene is my adopted mother, Cana and Wendy are my adopted sisters as well along with Erza who you will meet after a few days, my father is Natsu Dragneel who is one of the strongest mages on Earthland. Although I suppose you want to learn the full story right?" she asked Lucy who nodded as they continued to walk towards the village.

"You see, I never knew my real parents, I was found and raised in the Sun Village, it was a village that was created and guarded by the Eternal Flame. When I was nine years old I stumbled upon its altar where the flame revealed its true form as the fire dragon Atlas Flame." Lucy's eyes widened upon hearing the existence of a dragon when they were supposed to be extinct.

"Anyway, after he told me his identity he offered to teach me his brand of Dragon Slaying Magic. I accepted and after six months of physical training he taught every spell that he knew, the entire time he treated me like his own daughter, three months later he told me that his fires were dying out and in the next three months he would cease to exist. I didn't want to lose him, but he told me to be strong for he will always be with me. After three months I woke up to find the altar where he resided empty, his flames died out and I couldn't sense him anywhere. I was heartbroken and lost for I didn't know what to do." Her tale had Lucy look at her in sympathy, knowing how it is like to lose a parent. She was surprised however when she saw a smile appear on Flare's face.

"But then, just when I thought that I was all alone, a miracle happened. Natsu came to the village. He told me that he was looking for Atlas Flame and after he learned that I was his foster daughter, he offered to take me in as his daughter and train me since he was a Dragon Slayer himself, one of the very first Dragon Slayers actually. It surprised when I learned that he was actually four hundred years old. I accepted his offer, eager for a chance to have a family again. We left the village and traveled around Fiore, at one point we found Wendy whose dragon parent Grandeeney disappeared and she didn't know where. She was afraid of us when we first introduced ourselves, but quickly trusted us when she learned that we were just like her and Natsu took her in and I had a new younger sister. A month after that we came across Irene who was searching for her own daughter Erza whom she left at the now destroyed Rosemary Village due to her own insanity as well as for her daughter's safety. She joined our group and we went to Magnolia to find Fairy Tail where Erza supposedly went to. When we came to the guild Irene immediately went to her daughter, I don't know what happened but she forgave Irene for leaving her in Rosemary Village and we joined the guild, although things were awkward between them for a while. After a year Natsu married Irene and Erza became his stepdaughter as well as our new sister. The next five years me and Erza would become S class mages and Natsu adopted Cana after hearing of how her father, Gildarts Clive who was the Ace of Fairy Tail, laughed in her face when she told him that she was his daughter. From what I learned Gildarts didn't believe that such a 'weak little girl like her' could be the daughter of someone like him and told her to get lost and never call him her father again, and that was after she failed her S class trials, though she did pass them a year later." The anger in Flare's voice scared Lucy and saddened her to know that Cana was rejected by her father. Flare then gave Lucy a picture and she looked at the picture. On it were Flare, Wendy, Irene, Cana a redheaded girl who she assumed was Erza and a pink haired man seemingly in his thirties with spiky pink hair and onyx eyes, he was wearing a red shirt with a black trench coat with its left sleeve missing over it and a pair of black pants with sandals on his feet. He had his right arm on Wendy's head while his left arm was hugging Irene with a warm smile on his face.

"Natsu and the others are very important to me and Fairy Tail is important too. He gave us these necklaces so that we knew that he would always be with us and will give us strength at our direst moments. They gave me a family when I didn't have one and gave me a reason to fight and to be stronger. Someday you'll understand it as well Lucy, but until then let's go finish our mission." Flare then turned around heading towards the town, Lucy stood in one spot before she followed Flare with a smile, her respect for Fairy Tail increasing even more.

After a while they managed to get to the town and speak to the mayor, who told them that thieves mostly attack at night and that their HQ were in the forest and that their leader was a mage. The two went to the forest and found a large gut that was covered by the trees and painted like the rest of the environment. There were four guards near the entrance.

"Alright Lucy, let's do this!" Flare shouted as she set her feet on fire and jumped up, before she landed between the guards causing an explosion and knocking them back as well as giving them second degree burns. She then coated her fist in flames before blowing off the door, catching the thieves by surprise. Lucy quickly brought out one of her keys.

"Summon:Taurus!" in a flash of light a bipedal muscular bull with a double headed axe appeared. "Taurus, attack them!"

"Mooo! Gladly Miss Lucy!" Taurus then charged into a group of thieves knocking two of them back with his horns and knocking the rest out with his fists. Some of the thieves brought out their clubs, swords, axes and shields and charged at him hoping to get a better chance. That ended when Taurus pulled his axe out of his harness before swinging it around him destroying their weapons and cutting off the limbs of some of the them. Flare meanwhile continued to beat up mages without using her magic. She blocked a punch from one of them and proceeded to head-butt him before throwing towards a group of thieves who were now brandishing their knives. Another tried kicking her in the head but she ducked and kicked his ankle, breaking it, causing him to roll on the floor before Flare kicked him in the chest and through the wall. She charged at another group of mages and knocked them out with quick powerful attacks. Soon the thieves were lying on the ground defeated, some had broken bones while some were missing one of their limbs. Taurus then went back to the Celestial Realm, Lucy and Flare soon saw the leader and he was ugly to look at with his misshaped nose, decaying teeth and his balding head.

"So, you think that you've defeated those useless wastes of time you think you can defeat me? How naïve! I'll enjoy breaking you two!" he said while conjuring lightning in his hands. He brought both his hands together and fired a lightning bolt at Flare who swatted it aside before she charged at him. The leader had no time to dodge before Flare stood before him and proceeded to throw a flurry of fire coated punches on his chest and stomach. She then brought her left hand-

"Hellfire blast!"

-and proceeded to uppercut him out of the roof and into the forest. His body fell in a dirt puddle covered in burns and his bones broken. Flare smirked before turning to Lucy and offered a high-five to which Lucy responded with her own. Her first quest was done.

Three Weeks Later.

A lot has happened in the span of a three weeks for Lucy. First she went to a mission where she learned that Flare was a S class mage, then she met Erza Scarlet, the famed Titania of Fairy Tail, who also turned out to be Irene's birth daughter. Then they had to fight a dark guild that wanted to slaughter a thousand people and the Guild Masters using a flute that turned out to be an Etherious. And now she was sitting in a table as a member of a newly formed Team Flare most members being the Dragneel sisters, herself and Erza. After that she went on her first S class mission in an island full of demons. All in all it was difficult yet rewarding three weeks for her

"What's wrong Flare?" Lucy asked upon seeing the worried look on Flare's face.

"It's our father Lucy. He hasn't come back in two weeks after he took that mission, mom's starting to get worried and unable to sleep because of this, and Wendy is having nightmares about what happened to him." Flare explained to her friend.

"I am sure that he is okay and is currently in a tavern or in an Inn somewhere taking a break. After all he is one of the strongest mage on Earthland." Erza said trying to calm down her adopted sisters, although she too couldn't help but worry about her adoptive father as well as her mother's health. Lucy was about to ask why she was so sure-

ZAP

-only for a blue portal to appear in the guild, most of the mages readying their magic upon seeing it appear out of nowhere. But their eyes widened upon seeing a hooded stranger carrying a severely wounded Natsu on his shoulder.

"NATSU!" Irene was the first to move taking her husband out of the stranger's hands and tending to his injuries, Wendy helping her save their husband/father. They both gasped at his state, he had a lot of cuts and bruises, he had a bone like shard sticking out of his chest, a stab wound on his stomach, there was a large burn scar on the left side of his face, causing their eyes to widen upon seeing it and wondering what could have caused it. Erza, Cana and Flare immediately marched up to the stranger with Erza pointing a flaming sword at him, Cana taking her cards out while Flare covered her fists in fire, all three having looks of rage on their faces.

"Who are you?! What have you done to our father?!" the stranger made no attempt to acknowledge them, he simply closed the portal with a wave of his hand before turning to Natsu, he reached into his backpack and pulled out and pulled out a cylinder with a needle that had a blue glowing liquid in it. He went to Natsu, with many springing to action to stop him thinking that he was going to kill Natsu. Their magic only hit a barrier surrounding him before he growled and released a shockwave that temporarily nullified their magic and pushed them away.

"If you value his life, you'll let me help him, otherwise he'll die of his injuries." His voice full of authority had the guild reluctantly put away their weapons, the Dragneel family hesitated but the whimper from their husband/father eventually had them trust the stranger. He then sat down besides Natsu and plunged the needle in his shoulder, the liquid entering Natsu's body slowly healing him. The guild watched in stunned silence as his wounds were stitched, the bone ripped out by the stranger, and the burn on his face lessened. After a while the stranger turned stood up before he took off his hood and his mask, shocking the guild with his resemblance to Natsu.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but you will have to wait until he is awake and I'll explain everything." He said while gesturing to Natsu. For the next few hours it was an awkward silence as everyone kept looking between him and Natsu, after a few minutes they heard Natsu groan before he sat up and rubbed his head.

"Wha? Where am I?" he asked, his vision still blurry.

"NATSU/DAD/FATHER!" he heard the voices of his family before he was hugged by them, all of them shedding tears. Natsu hugged them back before his gaze settled on the man who saved him.

"So, mind explaining who you are, why do you look like my father, how did we get here so fast and who was the person that attacked me a few hours ago?" he asked leaving the guild stunned at his last question.

"In order my name is Traveler, I am a different version of you from another universe, I created a portal to get here faster so that you wouldn't die of your injuries. As for the one who attacked you, his name is Devastator and he came to this world to kill both you and all life on this Earthland." His answers left the guild in a shocked state with Levy speaking first.

"So the theory about the infinite number of universes is true?" her question earned her a nod, and then she was in his personal space asking question rapidly.

"What kind of universes are there?! What do you use to travel between them?! Do they have advanced technology?! Do I have a different magic?! Do I have a loved one?! Is Fairy Tail the same or different compared to ours?! Do I have bigger breasts in other worlds?! Are any of the worlds watching us right now?! Can I look at your backpack?!" she was asking question after question while seemingly teleporting around him, her eyes now had stars in them. Traveler shifted awkwardly before he caught Levy and put her down telling her that he'll answer her questions later. Levy pouted but accepted his condition before she went to sit with her team.

"So what's the deal with this Devastator guy? Why did he want to kill me and the rest of Earthland? And how the hell are you and him are stronger than me?" Natsu asked shocking his family who had seen his strength beforehand.

"Wait, what do you mean stronger? What happened during the mission?" at the last question Irene gave Natsu and Traveler a look that made the former flinch while the latter only huffed.

"Well…"

FLASHBACK

Natsu stretched himself as he finally finished the supposed 100-year quest, the mission itself was brutally hard, he had to fight five dragons that survived Extinction and hid in other countries, thankfully he was given direction by the man that gave the mission and he turned out to be a Dragon Slayer who can turn into a Dragon. As for the other dragons they were really powerful in their own right, one of which was Igneel's biological son called Ignia who wasn't so pleasant to learn that he was Igneel's foster son and a human at that. Eventually he had no choice but to kill three of the dragons while the remaining two gave up their power and went to live as humans.

"Man, that was tiring. Time to return home. I wonder how Irene and our daughters are? Maybe there's a new member in the guild?" He guessed before he felt it, an overwhelming amount of magical power as well as footsteps behind him. He turned around only to be punched in the face by a large fist and sent flying into the forest. He recovered before dodging a dropkick that caused the ground to explode. He got up and looked at the attacker. He was an 8-foot tall mountain of muscles with red and black scales all over his body and bone like protrusions. His clothes consisted of black pants that were ripped at the knees by protrusions and the ankles showing his clawed feet. On his upper body was a cloak that hid his draconic form and on his head was a pair of horns and his hair was literally flames. His muscled arms had spikes at the elbows and the knuckles, his fingers looked like dragon's with razor sharp claws that could tear through metal. His face was draconic with green slit eyes and sharp teeth. Natsu looked at the draconic man in shock before he stood up and looked at him with a glare.

"I don't know what you are or why you attacked me, but you are going to regret that!" he then released his own magic power before he brought his fire coated fist to punch the creature who only grinned before he brought his own fist causing a shockwave as the two fists collided. Natsu was shocked that his punch was so easily blocked but didn't wonder on it for long as he blocked a barrage of attacks from the creature, each feeling like he was being punched by a real dragon. Ducking under one of the punches he brought his right fist now covered in hellish red flames and proceeded to punch the creature right at the chest with all his strength. The punch knocked it back a few feet, although he had no burn injuries from the flames. The creature seemed to grin before it charged at him once again with his claws and bone intrusions lengthening and tried to slash at him. Natsu dodged the slashes before he set his legs on fire-

"Fire Dragon Breakdown Talon!"

-and kicked the creature in the head, only to get his leg grabbed and slammed into the ground multiple times before he was thrown into a boulder causing it to break before he rolled out of the way from another slash aimed at his head. He then lit both his hands in hellish flames before he unleashed Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame at the creature causing a massive explosion that destroyed the majority of the forest. He thought that it was over until he was bulldozed through trees and rocks by the creature and punched to the ground. The creature then grabbed him by his head before proceeding to punch him in his stomach numerous times, before he was slammed to the ground and thrown into the air where he barely managed to block another hit from the creature.

"WeAk!" the creature said before it tried to hit him only to be dodged.

Natsu, seeing as the creature wasn't being harmed by his normal flames, decided to pull out the big guns.

"Lightning Fire Dragon King Mode!" his flames became blue with white outline with blue lightning dancing around them before he gathered them in his mouth.

"Lightning Fire Dragon King's Roar!" he unleashed a torrent of blue flames with white edges and blue lightning at the creature who tried to power through only to be pushed back into the mountain. Natsu cancelled his attack and surveyed the damage. Seeing the creature nowhere he then turned around-

ROAR

-only to barely dodge a body slam from the now burning creature that seemed angrier with its green eyes set ablaze. Natsu cursed under his breath before he coated his fist in blue fire and lightning not stopping until there was a giant fireball in his hand, the creature coated its own hand in flames before the two charged at each other.

"Lightning Fire Dragon King's Demolition Fist!"

They collided their fists, the shock wave uprooting the trees and destroying the environment around them. The explosion could be seen from miles away, the ground shaking as a result. As the explosion died down Natsu was breathing heavily, crouching as he held a wound where a bone protrusion was impaled.

"WeAk!" the creature said as it came out of the creature only had a minor burn wound before it punched him again sending him flying. Naus was barely conscious, half of his face was burned heavily, his head was spinning and as he saw the creature approach with the claws ready to kill him before he was grabbed by his throat and was stabbed multiple times in his stomach by the creature's spikes. Natsu coughed up blood as the creature pulled out its spikes ready to decapitate him-

BAM

-until he was slammed in the head by a burning metal fist that sent him back and Natsu was dropped on the ground. The creature looked at its attacker with a snarl before he was punched in the stomach causing it to feel pain as the barrage of burning punches continued before he was sent to the air by a brutal uppercut. The attacker then jumped up after him and slammed it into the ground via a suplex. Traveler then pulled out a MPC from his backpack and opened a portal to another world and grabbed the creature by its legs. The creature was spun around until he was thrown into the portal, it grabbed the edges to escape-

"Fire Dragon's Roar!"

-until a blast of intense blue flames sent him into the portal, Traveler closed the portal before he went to the now unconscious Natsu and brought his arm over his shoulder, he then snapped his fingers and created a blue portal before going through it.

FLASHBACK END

"And that's how it happened." Traveler and Natsu finished their tales leaving the guild shocked at the story.

"You still haven't told me how was that creature stronger than me." Traveler looked at Natsu before he sighed.

"Every universe has different power levels. For example, if you are strong in this world, chances are if you go to another world you will be defeated by a younger you, or be the strongest mage around. It all depends upon the universe in which you are in." Traveler explained to Natsu who had a thoughtful look on his face before he nodded at him.

"What about that Devastator guy? Why was he after Natsu first?" Grey asked the question that was on the minds of mostly everyone in the guild had.

"I sent him to a universe where he will be unable to do any harm. As for why he attacked Natsu first, well he is another Natsu who went mad because of his power and now is in a group of other beings who are hell-bent on destroying the multiverse."

"But isn't the multiverse infinite?" Traveler turned to Levy and then folded his arms.

"Well, yes and no." His answer was met with confusion from her and the rest of the guild, as he stood up and took out a light pen from his backpack and began drawing "See while the multiverse is indeed infinite, there is still a way to destroy it. If you destroy the very first world i.e. the one from which the multiverse originated from and is still growing from, the entire multiverse will then collapse and self-destruct." He explained while drawing up the multiverse before drawing a dot in the center and pointed at it "This-is the very first world, it is located in the center of our multiverse. Were it not for its creation your world simply wouldn't exist. As do the other worlds for they owe their existence to this very world. If it is destroyed the rest will follow suit." He finished while drawing a cross over the dot and put the pen in the bac pack.

"Luckily, the center of the multiverse is nigh-impossible to find. There are other creatures and beings who are trying to either conquer or corrupt or destroy the multiverse, but the only way to do so is to target the very first world, only then can they truly do what they want with the multiverse." His words relieved the guild though they did wonder what was the very first world like? Was it anything like theirs? Did it have the same magic and physical laws? Were they different in that world? They were brought out of their musings when they saw Traveler take what looked like blueprints out of his backpack and hand them to Levy.

"These are the blueprints to a MPC, a device that will allow you to travel to other worlds or if they are inaccessible simply view them. Although be careful, the device has a function that gives information of the world that you will go to so read the warnings and description of the world first before you go there." Levy looked at the blueprints and immediately started examining them, then she turned back towards him

"You are trusting me with this kind of technology?" her question earned her a snort from Traveler.

"Well, yeah. I already told you about other worlds, chances are that you would want to know about them too, that and you might annoy me into giving you a secret on how I travel around the multiverse so I just decided to kill two birds with one stone." He said getting the others to sweatdrop at his casual answer.

"Oh, and if you see a portal appear in your world with two Dragon Slayers, a cosmic being and a demon coming out of said portal, be ready for fight of your lives." The guild looked at each other before turning to Traveler.

"They can't be that bad, right?" Lucy questioned getting a deadpan look from Traveler

"Bad? Just wait until you meet a big breasted, mad scientist, constantly cursing and drinking Levy and a few other girls as well as a hard-ass, armored, scarred Natsu to appear, that's when things go really crazy really fast." Traveler chuckled at their faces before going over Natsu and taking him to a nearby corner to talk.

"Look, I know he may not exist in your world, but what happened to Zeref?" his question surprised Natsu before he answered, not seeing anything wrong with his question.

"Well, when me and Zeref were young, our village was attacked by dragons. We survived though, sadly our parents did not. Shortly after that I became ill and Zeref applied to Mildian Academy to find a way to cure me. Sadly, his inventions involved things like creating demons to a time machine that would revert the illness. Unfortunately, he was cursed and distanced himself away from me to protect me. By that time, I met Igneel and he taught me his magic before he died in Dragon Civil War. Although, I am still looking for Zeref to undo his curse and to stop his demons, though I haven't had any luck." Natsu explained while looking down but looked back when he felt Traveler put his hand on his shoulder.

"I am sure you will find him someday, and you will cure him. Besides, you have your family with you, and they will help you no matter what." His words earned him a smile before they both went back to the bar, where Lucy was looking at the blueprints along with Flare and Erza. Traveler smiled and seeing as he was not needed tore open a grey portal with his claws catching the guild's attention. He turned to look at the guild before putting on his mask.

"I hope you use the technology well, you have a lot of things ahead of you and though you might have the strongest mages at your side, keep getting stronger. Oh and Natsu, nice job marrying the MILF of Fairy Tail." He said with a smirk before jumping through the portal as it closed behind him. The guild was stunned at his boldness and Irene had an irritated look on her face while Natsu simply smiled.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Whew! That sure was long, and the words man. They are OVER 9,000! Sorry, couldn't help it. But man this was tiring and it was only second chapter! Now I see how you guys struggle with this. Anyway, another world went by. Sorry if the action parts weren't so good, I am not really good at writing action. The concept of an older father like Natsu already exists in other fanfics, although they didn't have survive when he was young. That and having Erza as his daughter was interesting as well.

And yes, I do believe that the multiverse can be destroyed. It's like killing a tree by poisoning by poisoning the roots. And no the anime Fairy Tail isn't the very first world, but rather the manga from which the anime was created.

Anyway, thanks for reading and until next time. Farewell.
